Ye Jingyuan hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

With a "creak" sound, Song Lan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also leaned forward in an instant because of the momentum of inertia.

Luckily she was wearing a seatbelt, otherwise she would have crashed into the windshield in front of her.

Ye Jingyuan saw that his wife was almost injured because of this, he immediately lowered the car window, looked coldly at the girl who stopped the car, and asked sharply: "I said little girl, what do you want to do?" Are you impatient? ”

The girl immediately raised a bright smile, and ran to Song Lan's side very interestingly, and said to Song Lan with a smile: "This sister, I'm sorry for you, I want to ask you for help with something, is it okay?" ”

Song Lan looked at this girl.

She was beautiful and lovely, her dark eyes were particularly bright, and she wore patched clothes, but her clothes were cleanly washed.

Although she said flattering words, between her eyebrows and eyes, there was a trace of fortitude and stubbornness sharpened by life.

Song Lan thought that there should be a reason why such a girl would stop the car.

Since she has the courage to stop the car, then she will give her a chance.

Song Lan asked her softly, "What's your name?" Why stop our car? ”

The girl hurriedly replied with a smile: "Sister, my name is Gu Jinxiu, and I am also an embroiderer in the Suzhou Embroidery Factory. ”

"There was a master of Suzhou embroidery in my ancestors, and what she handed down was top-notch embroidery, but many people said that they liked it very much, but they refused to give more money, and we were not willing to sell them so cheaply, so we never sold them."

"I saw you in the factory today and thought you might be interested, so I asked for leave to come out and waited for you to come out here."

Song Lan looked at Gu Jinxiu and deliberately asked her, "What if we are not interested?" What do you do? How to solve the difficulties in your family? ”

Gu Jinxiu's little face collapsed instantly, "If you're not interested, then forget it, I can't make it difficult, I will find another way to solve the difficulty, thank you!" Sorry to bother you. ”

Song Lan saw her turn around to leave, and hurriedly called out to her, "Oh, don't go, I didn't say no, you take us back to your house to see the embroidery first, but I can state first, we won't want the embroidery of bad quality, don't think about fooling us." ”

Gu Jinxiu hurriedly said: "No, no, I definitely don't dare to fool my sister, my house is not far from here, I'll take my sister home to see, if my sister is a lover of Su embroidery, I dare to guarantee that my sister will definitely like it." ”

Song Lan also smiled when she heard her say so confidently, "Okay, then you get in the car and lead the way!" ”

Gu Jinxiu was not polite to her, and directly opened the car door and got into the car.

She said to Ye Jingyuan, who was driving: "This big brother, you drive forward, turn left at the intersection in front of you and enter the first one, which is my home, very close." ”

Ye Jingyuan did as she said, drove left into a small alley, and stopped at the door of the first house.

A few little boys playing at the door looked at the jeep with curiosity, as if surprised why there was a car parked in front of their house.

When they saw Gu Jinxiu getting out of the car, several little boys immediately cheered and shouted, "Sister Gu, are you back......"

One of the little boys stepped forward and hugged Gu Jinxiu's thigh affectionately, and shouted in a coquettish voice, "Sister, why did you get off work so quickly today?" ”

Gu Jinxiu touched the little boy's head with a smile and said to a few children, "My sister has something to do, so I'll come back first." ”

Seeing Ye Jingyuan and Song Lan get out of the car, Gu Jinxiu introduced the little boy holding her to them, "This is my younger brother Gu Jincheng, and these are our neighbor's children." ”

Song Lan took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from the bag he carried with him and sent it to the children, "Come, children, eat candy, two pieces per person." ”

The children exclaimed happily, "Wow, there's candy to eat!" ”

An older boy said, "This is the White Rabbit toffee, I've eaten it, it's so sweet, big sister, do you really give it to us?" ”

Song Lan heard his question, smiled and nodded, "It's really for you to eat, come and get it!" ”

Several little boys made sure that the candy Song Lan took out was for them to eat, so they stepped forward one by one and took two candies from Song Lan's palm.

They also politely said "Thank you, sister" to Song Lan, and then they couldn't wait to peel off a white rabbit toffee, put it in their mouths, and chewed it vigorously.

Then they exclaimed, "How sweet! ”

"It's delicious!"

Gu Jinxiu's younger brother Gu Jincheng also took two pieces of candy, and he sensibly peeled one for his sister first, "Sister, you eat!" ”

Gu Jinxiu pushed back, "I don't eat, you eat!" ”

Song Lan also took two more for Gu Jinxiu, "Come, you can eat too." ”

Gu Jinxiu blushed and said, "Sister, I'm working, so I don't need to eat sugar." ”

Song Lan sneered: "Who said that you don't need to eat sugar when you work, I'm older than you, I like to eat sugar, eating candy can make life a little sweeter, how good!" Moreover, eating sweet things can make people feel good, don't you want to be in a better mood? ”

Gu Jinxiu was amused by Song Lan and laughed again, "Sister, you are too good at talking, okay, then I will take my sister's blessing and eat a sweet candy today to make my mood more pleasant." ”

She peeled a white rabbit toffee, put it in her mouth, and slowly tasted the sweetness in her heart.

Song Lan saw her eating, her eyes glowed, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity for this little girl.

She looked like she was only about sixteen years old, and it was really not easy for her to come out to work and support her family at such a young age.

After eating this candy, Gu Jinxiu said to Song Lan and Ye Jingyuan with tears in her eyes: "Sister, eldest brother, come in with me, my house is a little shabby, don't dislike it!" ”

Song Lan responded, "No." ”

Gu Jinxiu took her younger brother Gu Jincheng's hand and walked in first.

Song Lan and Ye Jingyuan followed behind her and walked in.

This was supposed to be a large courtyard house for one family, but now it has been clearly divided between several families.

This is also characteristic of this era.

Unless you have connections and connections, you won't be able to keep a good house, even if you have a good house.

Gu Jinxiu led Ye Jingyuan and Song Lan into the lobby of the main house, and after inviting them to sit down, she poured a glass of boiled water for Ye Jingyuan and Song Lan, "Sister, eldest brother, I'm really sorry!" We don't have tea at home, so we can only ask you to drink boiled water. ”
