Chapter 30 Errand Costs
From the time he got up to the time he saw the boy, Ivan didn't realize how long he had been asleep, thinking that it was just morning.
In fact, even noon is almost over, which means that the child may have waited outside without saying a word for an unknown number of hours.
Ivan wasn't sure how long it was, so he could only guess an approximate idea, and when Ivan turned around, the boy was still there.
The boy still kept his head down, and this "grunt" directly slapped him in the face, making the boy's words a little contradictory.
A second ago, I was still saying that I was not thirsty at all, but in fact, the main reason was that I was too hungry, and the feeling of hunger was extreme, and the feeling of thirst did not seem to be so strong. However, this is only one-sided, and there is a dead silence between the two men for a short time.
The last words were the end of the boy's knot, and he didn't want to add any more words, but waited for Ivan, for him to begin.
It was to see if Ivan had anything to say, and Ivan quickly came to his senses, sure that neither the sound nor the sound of the door opening was an auditory hallucination.
The grunt came from the belly of the boy in front of him, and Ivan acted again as if he had received some message.
Ivan quickly replaced the teacup in his right hand with his left hand, and at the same time reached his right hand directly into the inside pocket of his shirt and touched it.
Ivan remembered that when he first got up, he had subconsciously taken some copper coins from the bed, but there shouldn't be a lot.
But at least it can solve the urgent need, Ivan's right hand quickly touched the clothes, and touched all the money.
The general location of the money was quickly determined, and all of them were in his hands, and the boy in front of him obviously heard the sound of the copper coins colliding.
The boy roughly guessed Ivan's intentions, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth first, but he didn't mean anything else.
It was nothing more than a desire to get out of here as soon as possible, and the longer the boy felt that the longer he stayed here, the more he wanted to find a hole to get into.
"Childe, if there is nothing else important, I will leave first, I am really sorry to disturb your rest."
The boy's words were a little self-conscious, and after speaking, there was a sense of running away, and Ivan saw his movements and reacted quickly.
In the first time when he didn't take out the copper coin, he first used words to stop the boy's decision to leave, which was direct and decisive.
"Wait a while, I really have something important to tell you to help me do, don't be impatient, don't be too anxious to leave."
After Ivan said this, he took the copper coin out of his clothes, and at the same time showed him a very relaxed expression on his face.
It seemed that the money was taken out not for the sake of the boy, but for something else to advise, and Ivan wanted to look serious.
The boy's face was already a little blushing before, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Ivan didn't mean to give him money.
I thought that my stomach was rumbling with hunger, which was already a very shameful thing, but I didn't expect to be amorous now.
But the boy also sighed, fortunately it was different from what he thought, if Ivan gave him money, he would be more like a beggar for food.
Even if the time for begging is not short, Ivan is indeed only a little older than himself, and the boy does not want to be too far apart from his peers.
"Childe, even if you tell me, I will do my best to do it."
The boy only replied briefly, guessing that Ivan should have taken out the money to help him buy something.
But no matter what you buy, it's better than giving alms to yourself, at least you won't look like a begging person, and it's okay.
At most, he was just like an errand runner, and the boy sighed, and Ivan finally saw that he no longer wanted to leave quickly.
Ivan also clenched the teacup in his left hand, and then weighed the money in the palm of his right hand, about how much. After buying a few steamed buns, the rest should be enough for him to eat a Chinese meal. Ivan didn't think much of it, he just wanted to help him.
Ivan looked at the boy with his head down all the time, he seemed to be still waiting for himself to say something, and he didn't want to take the initiative to take a stand.
In that case, he could only express himself euphemistically, and Ivan's eyes circled in his sockets.
"No, reach out, you take the money in my hand first, I have to entrust you to help me do something, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Ivan naturally grasped his hand tightly, wrapped all the copper coins in his palm, and then stretched out his hand to hang in the air.
After hearing Ivan's words, the boy also stretched out his hands, in a state of open hands.
Only this time there was no meaning of begging, let alone the humility of being charity, and the boy's back was straight. Ivan said that he had something to tell him, and the boy didn't think much about it, he just used Ivan's money to help him run errands.
There should be no problem, both of them thought of this, and just like that, Ivan saw the boy's hand open and put it under his palm.
Ivan didn't hesitate much, he released his palm, and a few copper coins fell directly into the boy's palm, steadily.
The boy took the money and did not close his hand at the first time, after all, it was not his money yet, and Ivan did not say what to do.
If you have more money, you can get some back, and the boy imagined this possibility, and did not rush to stop.
These children, who are still begging, half of their age, have been sharpened to understand the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the differences between individuals in their long-term begging career. He can't be greedy, and if he is greedy, he will definitely end up with nothing.
When Ivan saw that the boy had finally gotten all the money into his hands, he began to think of a plausible reason.
In this way, the boy can take advantage of the situation to spend the money, at least so that he can have a full meal at noon today.
But Ivan himself didn't want to eat anything at this time, and it was much more useful to sleep peacefully than to eat.
Ivan was still struggling at this time, and it was too early to let the boy buy something to eat.
Obviously, he doesn't need it now, Ivan doesn't want to do unnecessary things, all he needs at the moment is to have a good rest.
Suddenly, Ivan thought that if he waited until tomorrow to meet the boy again, he would have to delay today.
Suddenly Ivan had a plan, and he had a relatively better arrangement in his mind, but he had to find a reasonable reason to believe him.
"No, I'll give you all this money for safekeeping. And what you need to do is very simple, just help me buy one or two freshly baked steamed buns and buns from others at noon tomorrow, something convenient to fill my stomach, and send them to my room. The rest is your errand expenses, it belongs to you, not me, and you can buy whatever you want. ”
