Since he was tired and sick, Shu Ruo adjusted the portrait of the previous day to four hours, and occasionally painted some paintings in the extra time to prepare for the opening of the store, and sometimes went out to see if there was a suitable shop for rent.

After painting a wave of people in the morning, Shu Ruo planned to squint under the osmanthus tree for a while after dinner. Leng Yan disturbed her, "Brother Shu, I heard Xiao Shi say that you want to open a shop, there is a shop for rent on East Street, I think it is suitable, do you want to take a look with me." ”

This dare is good, Shu Ruozheng is worried about this matter. Hearing Leng Yan say this, he didn't take a lunch break, and walked out with Leng Yan.

The store is not big, but the location is good, fortunately, the store operation is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, no need to decorate, just adjust it a little according to your own preferences. The rent is a little expensive, thirty taels of silver a month, and you have to pay half a year's rent at one time, Shu Ruo is a little painful. I can think that there is a courtyard in the back, which is similar to the small courtyard of Xishu Hutong. When the time comes, I will return the rent on the West Tree, and it will be cost-effective to live in the store, but I am a little reluctant to let the osmanthus tree bloom, and it is about to bloom.

I paid the money and rented the shop with the landlord. Looking at the cold words that came out of the store, Shu Ruo had a smile on his face that I want to calculate you, "Xiao Jiu, thank you, help me find such a good store." Since I've helped, I'm going to open a calligraphy and painting shop, and it's indispensable to sell calligraphy and paintings, do you want to support it, I can paint some paintings myself, but after all, it's limited......"

"Brother Shu, don't worry, I prepared some for you, and when you opened the gift, I also helped you recommend it to some friends, and they all promised to let you come here to consign." Leng Yan said with a smile.

"Great, Xiao Jiu, you are really a buddy. Now I'm completely relieved, and now I just need to prepare something. Shu Ruo began to think about what else he needed to prepare.

Leng Han did what he said, helped Shu Ruo open the store, sent someone over to help, and found someone for Shu Ruo to clean up the store. Shu Ruo found the carpenter he recommended to make a few classical display shelves, as well as dozens of picture frames. Silver is like a flower of flowing water, soothing and happy.

Seeing that it was about to open in two days, it was stormy that night. Shu Ruo and Xi'er were a little scared and slept in the same room as companions. Xi'er tossed and turned all night, restless. As soon as the day dawned, it was still raining lightly, and Xi'er rushed out. Shu Ruo didn't stop him.

Xi'er rushed out before two pillars of incense ran back, knelt down in front of Shu Ruo and cried, "Sister, please, save the six sons!" "Woooooooooo......oo

Shu Ruo was frightened, she didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly helped Xi'er up, "Xi'er, hurry up, what's wrong, you can say it well." ”

"Sister, the ruined temple in the west of the city collapsed, the sixth son was drenched in the rain and fell into a coma with a high fever, Grandpa Tian was smashed, and the tiger and the pigeon were all injured, I don't know what to do, I can only come to my sister." Woowoo......

Seeing Xi'er crying non-stop, Shu Ruo heard that someone was injured and sick, although he didn't know who these people were, but seeing that Xi'er was so worried and knew that he was in a hurry, he didn't continue to ask. Fortunately, the rain stopped, so I took Xi'er to the hospital to ask for a doctor, and found a few more people in the hospital to help.

When I went to the broken temple in the west of the city, I learned that because of the storm last night, the temple collapsed, and several beggars who lived in it were smashed and injured, and they were drenched in the rain, and they were injured and sick.

This doctor is also a good person, he didn't dislike them as beggars, and Shu Ruo gave a lot of silver. With everyone's help, all six beggars were transferred to the hospital for treatment.

Looking at the busy doctor, Xi'er didn't cry anymore, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she just saw it, and her sister spent a lot of money to ask everyone to help carry Grandpa Tian and them to the hospital. Now calm down, I don't know how to tell my sister.

Looking at the anxious Xi'er, seeing that she had something to say, but didn't dare to speak, Shu Ruo said, "Xi'er, let's talk about it, who are they?" These are the reasons why you have been running away lately? ”

"Sister, when I got lost with my parents and was about to starve to death, it was Aunt Qin who gave me half a steamed bun and took me back to the broken temple. I, Aunt Qin, Liuzi, Grandpa Tian, Huzi, Huahua, and Brother Xuan, a few of us, have lived together in the broken temple for a few years. There were still many people who lived together, but they were all gone...... "woo woo......

Shu Ruo wiped Xi'er's tears, "Don't cry, what do you want to do now?" ”

Xi'er's teary eyes looked at Shu Ruo expectantly and fearfully, "Grandpa Tian is old and sick some time ago, and the silver my sister gave me was used to treat Grandpa Tian and buy food for the six sons." Now that the temple is ruined, everyone has nowhere to live, and I don't know what to do if they are injured and sick. Xi'er, can you beg your sister to take them in first. I know that my sister has spent a lot of money on their medical treatment, and my sister is good enough for me on weekdays. It's too much to ask my sister like this now. When they are well, I won't drag my sister down, I'll go back and ask for dinner with everyone. Please take us in first! ”

As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Shu Ruo. Xi'er looked at Shu Ruo, "Sister, please, I will repay you by making you a cow and a horse in the future......"

In fact, what Xi'er said later, Shu Ruo didn't listen. Thinking that Yanjing City is so prosperous, the rich lady casually takes out a few dozen taels to paint a picture, but there are still people who have no place to live and can't eat. The gap between the rich and the poor is wide, with herds of orphans and unsheltered shelters. A rainstorm nearly killed them.

The emotional Shu Ruo almost burst into tears, and found that Xi'er was still waiting for her to reply, "You go and buy a few clothes for a few of them, and let them change their clothes first." Let me think about the rest first. After speaking, he gave Xi'er some silver.

When Xi'er heard Shu Ruo say this, she felt hopeful, wiped her face and ran to buy clothes.

The shops were all packed up, and they were almost waiting for the picture frames to be delivered, but there were only two rooms that could accommodate people, and the rooms were so small that they couldn't fit two double beds, so how could six people live. When you have time to draw a bunk bed, ask the master carpenter if you can make it. Shu Ruo has already made a decision, but he has changed from one person to eight people to support all of a sudden, which is very stressful.

After the doctor explained the matters to be paid attention to, and after taking the medicine, Shu Ruo asked the people from the medical center to help send the patient to the shop. Shu Ruo asked Xi'er to buy a bunch of quilts, daily necessities and the like. Looking at the floor paved with wooden planks on the ground, Shu Ruo looked at what Xi'er said to Aunt Qin, "Sister Qin, I'll call you Sister Qin, see how old you are me." I finished the drawings and asked the master carpenter to make the bed, which may take a few days. You will first lay asleep in this bunk. Look at what is lacking and let Xi'er buy it. ”

Sister Qin pulled a few children who were not seriously injured and was about to kneel, but Shu Ruo stopped her, "Don't kneel at every turn like Xi'er, I don't like this, so I will be unhappy." After speaking, he deliberately kept a straight face.

"Thank you for saving us, we will definitely repay you by being cows and horses."

"Don't, I don't need you to be a cow or a horse, you're all sick, except for Xi'er who will take care of you here, you also have to take care of yourself, I don't know how to cook, you all support yourself, take care of your illness first. There is a kitchen next to it, and I will let Xi'er buy all the food in a while, so I don't need to save me, look at you all thin. I'm still going to have something, I'm leaving. “

Shu Ruo didn't care, whether they were still saying thank her or not, and left the shop. After tossing all morning, there are still so many people to raise, so I have to hurry back to the small courtyard of Xishu Hutong to paint and earn silver.

"Xi'er, Painter Shu is really a good person. We're causing you trouble! Sister Qin looked at the sixth son who had fallen asleep after taking the medicine, and said to Xi'er.

"Aunt Qin, don't bother, my sister is really nice, she promised me to let you recuperate here for a few days."

"It cost us a lot of money to get a doctor."

"Aunt Qin, it's okay, when everyone is well in the future, let's find a way to return it to my sister." Xi'er said so, but she was still a little worried in her heart. Thinking that I would have to work harder to help my sister work in the future. Otherwise, I don't know how to repay her.
