Chapter 39 Sorrow for Life
It rained lightly again at night, and Song Jiu drank some wine and was a little lazy, so he lost his heart to touch the yellow eel.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, I moved the reclining chair and sat in front of the hall, listening to the sound of the dripping rain and the cool breeze, which was indescribably comfortable and quiet.
Wange took a shower and yawned for days, suddenly making her busy for a day, and now she only feels tired, her waist and arms are even more sore, and she doesn't want to move.
If it weren't for the wet hair, she would have been resting in bed.
"Sleepy?" Song Jiu heard the sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the evening song was sleepy and rubbing his eyes.
"Well, I'm a little tired." Wan Ge forced himself to wipe his hair with a dry face towel, looking lazy and sleepy: "After a busy day, there is still hot water boiling in the pot, so you should go to the shower and rest!" ”
"There's no hurry."
Saying that, Song Yu got up, took the face towel in her hand, and pressed the person to sit down. Then he wiped Wan Ge's hair awkwardly, for fear of hurting people, so his movements were extremely gentle.
"I'll do it myself, you can go take a shower quickly, so that the water won't get cold later."
"Don't move, sit down." Song Yu roared nervously, for fear of tearing people up and hurting you.
Seeing that Song Ji was a little angry, Wange really sat down and didn't move.
Song Yu wiped her hair seriously: "When the water is cold, it will be cold, and it is not uncommon for a big man to take a shower, and it can also relieve the summer heat." ”
Not to mention taking a cold shower in summer, even in spring and autumn, when he is lazy, he also makes cold water flush. When you are lazier, you go directly to the river to wash, and only in winter do you boil some hot water by yourself.
The first time someone wiped their hair, the big hand was already very light and slow, but it was inevitable that when the power was not well controlled, the person's hair was pulled a little painfully. The evening song was silent, quietly closing her eyes, as if she was asleep.
I don't know how long I wiped it, but my dripping hair finally dried out a lot, and I reached out and touched it and it was a little moist, and it was probably completely dry after a while.
It's just that some hair is tangled together, and it looks a little uncomfortable.
Song Jiu's brows furrowed, he wanted to straighten it with a comb. But just wiped the hair of someone with sweat, and then combed his hair......
Looking at the person who seemed to be asleep, Song Jiu still dismissed the idea of combing his hair. He went into the back room and brought a coat to cover him, and then went to take a bath.
The footsteps faded away, and the person who had thought he was asleep slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyelids and looked at the coat he was wearing, reached out and closed his eyes.
Song Jiu rinsed briefly, and when he came back, he saw that the person was still asleep, and he subconsciously walked over with his footsteps, and stretched out his hand to carry the person into the house to sleep.
The half-asleep and half-awake evening song seemed to have a feeling, and rubbed his head against the person's chest, and found a comfortable position to not move.
This night, with the sound of the rain outside the house, Song fell asleep in his generous arms.
After waking up in the morning, I stretched comfortably, and the two of them ate breakfast without hurry and prepared to go to the shop, hoping to get the store open and do business as soon as possible.
Wan Ge counted the remaining silver, and suddenly felt worried.
handed over ninety taels of silver at once, and the family, which was quite wealthy, suddenly became a little stretched. I still have to add some things in the back, objects or something, but now I'm afraid it's not enough.
"What, not enough?" Song Jiu walked over and asked.
Wan Ge nodded: "That's all we have left." He pointed to a small pile of silver coins on the table, which were mostly copper plates, and there were only a few taels of broken silver.
"We'll have to save some flowers, or maybe not enough on the side."
These money are enough for the family to spend two or three months, and if they save a little, they can even use it longer, but they are a little nervous to put them here.
There is no land, no land, and no income. Eating costs money every day, and the shop has to add some things when it is cleaned up, which is a lot of money. If it goes on like this, I don't know how long it will last.
Song Yu glanced at it, probably knew that this would be the result, and looked very calm: "I can hold on for a while, if it's not enough, I'll figure out a way." ”
If you really can't do it, run up the mountain twice more.
Wan Ge seemed to know his plans, she didn't approve of Song Jiu going hunting, it was too dangerous. It's just that there is no way to get money particularly fast at the moment, so I am a little worried.
"If it really doesn't work, we will catch loaches and yellow eels, touch snails and sell them in the town. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Wan Ge clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Although I tasted it last night and thought it was delicious, I was still scared if I let her catch it. But in order to live, I also have to accept change.
Song Jiu was amused for a moment: "What you said is also a method, but it is not yet that time." As he spoke, he put the silver on the table into a bag and handed it to Wan Ge, and at the same time told Wan Ge that he planned to set up a stall after he was busy for the past few days. But this time it was not at the vegetable market, but at the dock to set up a stall to sell food.
There is a wharf not far from the town, and there are some ships that carry goods back and forth, and there are many workers gathered there to help load and unload the goods. It's all very tiring physical work, but as long as you work hard, you will earn more, and some young and strong people can even earn more than 100 yuan a day.
There were many people there, and there was no other way out to make a living, if it weren't for the poor people who were too burdened by their families and were in dire need of silver. Go there to set up a stall to sell food, as long as you are cheap, and the amount of food is enough, even if you don't make it delicious, you don't have to worry about no business.
"We don't sell anything else, just sell some noodles, steamed buns or something." These things are cheap and neat, and they are not expensive for those people. After all, they are all doing manual work, how can they do it if they don't have enough to eat.
"Is that okay? There must be a lot of stalls there! Wan Ge thought for a while: "Otherwise, let's make some more herbal tea." Now that it's getting hot, let's cook more and give it to them. "There is free herbal tea to drink, and I think those who come will also think about it.
"If you want to work for a long time, you can do it this way. But let's just put it on for a while, and it's too eye-catching to make this. ”
You must know that for people who suddenly appear to share the soup, everyone is excluded, and this truth is a reason no matter where it is placed. At the beginning, it was better to be low-key, but there was a lot less right and wrong. They don't have to be around for long, so there's no need to fix these and make them smell.
was so little, and the evening song also found out.
"Alright, hurry up and pack up and go."
"Hmm."
After closing the door, the two went to the shop and continued to clean up. After three or four days of hard work, I finally cleaned the inside and outside of the shop, and the next thing to do was to buy some things. For example, a jar for brine, a rack for drying meat, and so on.
Some of these things have to be customized by a carpenter, and there is no hurry. It was Song Jiu who asked Wange to rest at home for a few days, he first found someone to do those things, and then reported them together to get them. And at this time, he happened to go to the dock to set up a stall and earn some loose silver.
Wange wanted to help together, but I don't know if I was tired or because of the heat. In the past two days, she has always felt unwell, she can't swallow her food, and she is always listless. When she said that she wanted to follow, Song Jiu refused without thinking about it, and asked her to stay at home.
There won't be much business when he just set up a stall left and right, and he can be busy alone. In fact, it is true that as he said, there are a lot of stalls on the dock, and on the first day, he only sold some steamed buns and a few bowls of noodles, earning more than 20 yuan. It's not like it used to be, but it's better than nothing at all.
"Still uncomfortable?"
When he returned home, he saw that the evening song was like a frosted eggplant in winter, Song Jiu hurriedly put down his things and walked over.
"I just feel stuffy, I don't have an appetite for anything, and I can't lift my energy. I don't know if it's heat stroke, or what. ”
From the morning to now, she has been lying on her chair almost all the time, and she has been dying without doing anything. I didn't have much appetite for lunch, so I wanted to stir-fry something or something, but I was tired of smelling it. In the end, it didn't work, so I casually ate some bowl of gruel left over from the morning.
Song Jiu frowned when he heard this, and his face was full of worry: "It can't go on like this, I'll go to the doctor to show you." "It's been a few days, and seeing that people can't eat well, they can't sleep well, and they don't have energy all day long, Song Jiu is also very anxious. If you go on like this, the people who have been raised with great difficulty have to go back to the way they were at the beginning, and that's not good.
"Don't." Wan Ge hurriedly pulled the person back: "It's not early now, it's quite troublesome to toss back and forth." I might just be so hot that I can't sleep well these days. In this way, if Ming'er is still like this, how about we go to see the doctor again? ”
"Look at what you look like now, and you want to wait until tomorrow?" Song Jiu said that he didn't agree with anything, so he had to take someone to see the doctor now.
The evening song couldn't say anything, and suddenly there was an inexplicable anger in his stomach, and he yelled at people: "You go, you go, you go now." After yelling, he wiped his tears first, looking aggrieved. made Song Jiu scratch his head, and he didn't know what was wrong.
He didn't understand, obviously she was uncomfortable, and she was worried and wanted to go to the doctor to take a look. Why do you get to the back and make people angry and cry, is this a good intention?
"You....... You see you're not feeling well right now, but you can't go to the doctor........ It's okay not to go and not to go to the doctor today. Song Jiu couldn't be anxious, but he didn't dare to yell at people, not even fierce. It was so close that this tiger man was coiled like a cat, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only follow the people.
"But let's talk about it first, if you say anything like this tomorrow, you'll have to go to the doctor with me." This last concession, no matter how much you spoil people, you have to have a degree, and you can't joke about people's bodies.
The evening song was still wiping her tears without saying a word, and Song Ji couldn't coax it for a while, so he calmed down and sniffed, and hummed a little embarrassed.
At this moment, I calmed down, and when I thought back to what had just happened, I only felt embarrassed. lost her temper at people for no reason, so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up at Song Jiu now, and when she saw him, she remembered the unreasonable appearance just now.
But just now she just couldn't control herself, she only felt aggrieved and angry, this feeling of emotional out-of-control coupled with the abnormality of the past few days, a certain thought flashed in Wan Ge's mind.
