She didn't dare to delay too much, washed her face and rushed to the front shop. In such an early morning, there were already people coming and going at the door, and they could say hello when they saw her. After the spring return was one by one, he looked at the unkempt child in front of him. The kid was replying to Qi You's words.

"It's really thirteen, I didn't lie to you this time, it's just that there was a big drought in the north last year, and my father and mother starved to death, and I was the only one left."

"My family's land was also robbed by the clan, so I simply escaped and walked all the way south."

"You kid, you said sixteen and fifteen, why is it thirteen this time?" Cai asked busily.

When the man heard this, he hurriedly glanced at the spring return on the side, lowered his head and shrank and said, "I'm afraid that you don't want me to ...... when you're young."

As soon as he heard this, Chun Gui's heart was sour, this child's face was full of dirt, only a pair of eyes were still clever and ingenious, and he was talking cautiously at the moment, how to look at it and make people feel distressed. But asking a thirteen-year-old child to be a guy in this shop, she didn't feel at ease.

Chungui looked at this thin appearance and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?" You have been walking for more than half a year, what do you eat on weekdays? ”

The child had already heard the name of Chungui by others, and knew that she was the proprietress of this shop, and his heart was full of joy: "My name is Geng Rong!" ”

"I found work along the way, served tea and poured water for the guests of the tea shop, and helped the owner of the steamed bun shop to sell business, I did everything, I am not afraid of hardship!"

I did this work all the way, but I didn't have a meal. Last year's drought killed a lot of people in the south, and it was even more severe in the north, and I want to know how much this child has suffered to get here.

Chungui sighed: "It's still early, you can come and have a meal first." ”

As soon as these words fell, several people raised their eyes to look at her. The child thought that he could stay, Cai's face was full of surprise, this child said that he was not small, but he was about the same age as Zhimin, and he was relieved to let him do the work of this shop when he returned to the spring?

Qi You shook his head, this is a soft-hearted mistake again.

Geng Rong was led into the house by the Cai family, and Chun Gui looked at him after walking a few steps away before turning his head to look at Qi You: "I don't know if I want to keep him, it's just this early morning, I've been hungry for a long time, you go find a piece of the clothes you wore before and ask him to change later." ”

This hole in the whole body, although the weather is hot, it is not good to catch a cold.

Qi You nodded: "I know." ”

Chungui sighed: "It is not easy to survive the great drought alone, and if my father and mother are still at this age, I guess I will not be in such a situation." ”

Qi You opened the small door of the aisle for her, and said lightly: "If you look clever for a few days, there is nothing wrong with being a young man." ”

Chungui's eyes lit up: "Do you think it's feasible?" ”

Seeing that she was half asking and half affirming, Qi You was reluctant to brush her mind, and nodded again: "It's not difficult to bring tea and water to say a few words to the guests, he came all the way here, and he is also experienced." ”

Hearing him say this, Chun Gui's face seemed to be relaxed: "Eat first." ”

Since moving to this town, the breakfast at home is handled by Cai's single-handedly, their own steamed big buns, the wontons must be there, the spring return regardless of the Cai couple's obstruction, put some home, Cai's also occasionally buy some big pies on the street, fried ghosts, fried buns, in short, everything, a breakfast is always rich.

Geng Rong was shocked when he was ushered in along the door of the aisle, but he didn't dare to look around.

Such a big house, even when his father and mother were still there before the drought, he didn't go in and see it, and it was so good-looking!

He clenched his palms, and even took a step cautiously, and Cai's looked at him a little unpleasantly.

When he walked to the big round table in the main hall, Geng Rong's whole person stiffened, and he hurriedly swallowed his saliva.

That's the steamed bun made by Cai's, even the vegetarian bun is full of brown sugar sweetness, not to mention the meat filling.

And this big white porcelain bowl, how can it be so beautiful.........

When Chungui approached, a few children in the room also rubbed their eyes and came out, Zhiping was used to it for a long time, looking for Chungui early in the morning, and only laughed out after hugging him in a daze, Chungui was even more caressing and rubbing him.

This kind of warmth is a common thing in this family, and in Geng Rong's eyes, it is both envy and sourness.

"Huh? Who is this little brother? "The three children who were going to school were all gathered, and they were all startled when their sleepy eyes were completely opened.

Chun Gui observed, and several children only had curiosity in their eyes, without the slightest dislike, and they were relieved.

Being looked at like this, Geng Rong was embarrassed for a while, blushing for a long time before speaking: "........ Hello young masters! ”

Several children came from poor backgrounds, and the first time they were called a young master, Zhiping's playful temperament immediately laughed.

"Brother, you're wrong, I'm not a young master, my sister-in-law said I'm a leather monkey!"

Geng Rong was stunned with a red face, and looked at Chun Gui at a loss.

As soon as Zhiping interjected, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"This stupid boy." Chun Gui let Qi You lead people over, and greeted him: "Don't be nervous, you don't need to call the young master a lot of masters, we are all from peasant families, and we don't want to call this file." ”

Seeing that he couldn't let go, she pointed at Qi You again: "You follow this brother to change his clothes first, and then come to breakfast after changing." ”

Geng Rong was brought in as if in a dream, and the remaining table of people couldn't help asking, "Is Chungui planning to leave this child behind?" ”

Chungui looked at the lower room in front, where to live, and the shop in front of him was really short of people.

"Let's see what he does today,"

Although she selfishly wanted to keep people, this child was a little attracted to her.

"Zhou Han and Zhixing, haven't gotten up yet?"

Zhiping lived in Zhixing's cubicle, knew it clearly, grabbed a bun and gnawed: "I made up my homework last night!" My brother and Zhou Han's brother didn't listen well in the school, and they were still writing before I went to bed last night. ”

Zhiping is holding on to the time to complain, for fear that Chungui will not know the virtue of Zhixing, and Chungui is helpless: "Then let's eat first." ”

After a few children finished nibbling on a bun and drank half a bowl of boiled wontons, Qi You also led people out.

When Qi You's clothes were worn on Geng Rong's body, the spring return was only in a trance, Qi You seemed to be drawing strips this year, and last year's clothes were hung on Geng Rong's body and rolled up several times at the cuffs, which was obviously a lot bigger, but compared with today's Qi Youyi, it is much smaller.

"Come, eat first."

As soon as the spring returned to his senses, he beckoned to people. Qi You directly took the person to sit beside him, Geng Rong looked at where Chun Gui was, and then looked at where he was sitting, and hung his head uneasily.

Cai's is also a mother, and when she saw such a poor child, she was also busy moving the bun to his side.

Seeing that there were two big buns in the bowl in front of him, after a few hesitations, he really couldn't help it, gritted his teeth, hung his head and reached out to take a big bite and ate it.

Xiao Bao Zhiyuan is Si Swenwen's eating appearance, and he was stunned when he suddenly saw this way of eating, and looked at a few adults suspiciously, and after catching a glimpse of Chun Gui and shaking his head with a light smile, he hid the surprise in his eyes and continued to eat his own.

I don't know if it's Geng Rong's influence, but the children also ate faster at this breakfast, and after eating, Zhiping asked Qi You to send him to a private school.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this child's coquettish appearance, and Qi You should also go. Looking at Geng Rong, who was at a loss after eating two steamed buns, Qi You said to Chun Gui: "The shop is busy, tell him to do it first, you and Sister-in-law Cai are more relaxed, and I will ask you again when I turn around." ”

Opened just yesterday, the news has not spread, the second floor has to usher in a greater wave of excitement, it is always more convenient to have a buddy, he looked at Geng Rong because he could stay here and couldn't help but be happy, his face was still light, this person was only reassuring at the beginning, but he had to do it for a long time in this shop, and he could rest assured when he went to Kyoto in the future, he still had to inquire more about the details.

How could Chun Gui not know that he was cautious: "Hurry up and send it, because of him, Xiao Bao Zhiyuan was dragged to be late several times, and if it goes on like this, we will have to make amends to the master." ”

Zhiping: .........

How could he know that early in the morning, his own old man was lifted up in front of Qi You's brother, and immediately pouted and wanted to play tricks, Qi You immediately reached out to cover the child's mouth when he saw this: "Don't make trouble." ”

The town learned that Ping immediately took it in.

This should be stuck and want to cry or not, so that everyone wants to laugh but is afraid of provoking him.

Qi You held one in one hand, and Zhiping walked with a pouting in front of him.

Cai's looked at it behind him and smiled: "It's just Qi Youneng Town, a town Zhiping." ”

A few children were sent away, and Geng Rong, who was left at the table to tentatively glance at the main hall of the house.

Seeing that Cai was about to put away the table, he hurriedly got up and carefully folded the porcelain bowl in front of him.

Chungui watched for a while, this child suffered a little, but his spirit was not defeated by that man-made disaster, he washed his face and changed his clothes, he was also a handsome little brother, and he was also diligent when he looked at his hands and feet.

She thought for a while and turned her head and said, "Brother Li, didn't I hear you say that the old man next to us wanted to ask you to do a small job?" It's better to go today. ”

Li Zhicun was stunned: "Do small jobs? The shop ahead is not ......."

Chungui smiled slightly: "Let Geng Rong try to do it for a day today." She looked at the little brother who was already full of excitement and continued: "If it is feasible, Brother Li will be able to busy himself with important things in the future." ”

"But if you can't do it, Geng Rong, although I am short of people here, it is not good to keep you for a long time."

Geng Rong had already nodded, his face full of ambition: "The shopkeeper can rest assured!" I'm going to do a good job! If you're not satisfied, I'll leave in the evening! ”

Chungui smiled, looking at this energetic appearance, she would not be disappointed if she thought about it.

"When another one is recruited, Sister Cai, the piece of land left for Sister Cai on the east side of the shop can also be placed with buns."

If you have a cook, you can also share one or two for her and Cai's.

The children were right, they couldn't open the shop or they were busy working on their own.

As she was thinking so, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Liu Jiawang shouted at the door: "Spring return girl!" Open the door! ”

"Why is Brother Jiawang here?" She was stunned, she thought it was Li Zhigao who sent goat milk early in the morning.

Li Zhicun had already run over and opened the door, Li Zhigao was stopping the donkey cart and checking a few buckets of goat milk, and Liu Jiawang and his wife rushed in with a smile.

When the two of them explained their intentions, they looked at Chun Gui with some apprehension, but they didn't want Chun Gui to clap their hands, and their faces were full of joy.

"I'm still worried about coming to get Geng Rong alone, but Brother Jiawang is here!" She looked at everyone with a smile and took Geng Rong forward: "This is a young guy who has just been decided, thinking that there is a mistake at a young age, if someone takes it, the two of them will always be better together." ”

Liu Jiawang was a buddy in Fumanlou when he was a teenager, and his family was in the industry, and then Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law gave birth to a little gold, and he returned to Xiaoliangshan. How can Chun Gui not be satisfied.

Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law saw that Chungui was sincere, and hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face: "That's really a coincidence!" ”

Geng Rong is a clever person, although he is still a little timid, but he has not lost his share of Chungui at all, and he has a family brother and sister-in-law Liu, and the two of them are also full of comfort.

Cai Shi took a look and said "ouch": "Then you can find all the people today?!" ”

Chungui smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's all right." ”

Liu Jiawang and Geng Rong are two guys, the sister-in-law of the Liu family helps to manage the accounts, and Chun Gui cooks food with Cai's family.

In just one day, the division of labor is clear.
