Ji Xuelan didn't bother to ask, first let Ji into the courtyard, found a stool for her to sit down, and then went into the house to pour boiling water for her.

Hearing that someone from the family was coming, Yang came out of the stove room with an apron, his hands were wet, holding a spatula in one hand and a small handle in the other, it seemed that he was brushing the pot.

Seeing that it was Ji, she moved her mouth, didn't say anything, turned her head and went in again.

Ji's aunt was stuck in her throat, but she didn't have time to shout.

Ji Xuelan came out of the hall, handed her the warm boiled water, and said a little embarrassed: "My mother is ...... She's such a character, don't take it to heart. ”

Ji said that it was nothing, took the thick bowl and took a sip, sweet, with sugar.

"What about the rest of the family?"

Ji Xuelan pointed to the back of the house.

"Your eldest aunt has caught a few chicks and raised them back, but she can be regarded as finding something to do for the eldest girl and the second girl, and she is thinking about digging koji worms for the chickens to eat, but she can't dig them yourself, so she calls their little uncle."

Ji Xuelan said, a few laugh lines appeared in the corners of her eyes. However, she was not in good shape, and she looked very tired.

"You just said you were going to town, you were going to ......" Ji shifted her gaze to the big burden she was carrying.

Ji Xuelan opened the burden to show her, and inside was a large stack of washed clothes.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been looking in the town for many days, and I haven't found a suitable job, thanks to the kind people who introduced me to the construction site to wash people's pulp and clothes, these are the ......"

There are not no workshops in the town that recruit people, but most of them are reluctant to ask for Ji Xuelan.

Because Sanya is still too young, Ji Xuelan is not at ease, and she has to rush back every day.

What workshop owner would want a female worker who hangs half of her heart at home?

Don't say that you return early and arrive late, the child has a headache and brain fever, and he has to ask for leave.

This kind of woman is never in their consideration, and she is troublesome.

Ji Xuelan ran into walls everywhere, and in desperation, she took over the job on the construction site.

She is a woman who has just been divorced, washing clothes for a group of old men to make money, not that she is not ashamed, but she is even more afraid that others will know and gossip.

But she still has to raise three children, and she can't rely on her mother's family for the rest of her life.

Especially the life of my mother's family is not easy,

This year's harvest was not satisfactory, and after paying the summer tax, there was not much grain left, and wheat seeds had to be left.

Although the sweet potatoes are almost ready to start at the end of the month, and then there is corn to pick up, but there is also an autumn tax......

Who would have thought that when you get out of the quagmire, you will still face a gloomy cloud.

Otherwise, Ji Liansong would not have gone to the brick kiln.

The people who work on the kiln are strong laborers, he is getting older, and he is not as fierce as young people when he works, and people are not willing to want it, but he is desperate to stay and stay.

Ji Xuelan went to the brick kiln once.

At that time, Ji Liansong was hunched over, pulling a cart full of adobe uphill, he gritted his back molars, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, one foot pushed back, and the other foot stepped forward, until the green tendons on his neck protruded, and the steps he took fell to the ground with difficulty, and his face was covered with sweat like a rain.

Seeing this scene with her own eyes, Ji Xuelan couldn't hold back any longer, handed over the clothes she had sent, and returned home in tears all the way.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning all night, she finally figured it out.

Cheekiness is not as important as life.

As long as she can make money, as long as she can support her children, as long as she can help her father and mother reduce some of their burdens, she is willing to do anything.

After making up her mind, Ji Xuelan took over the laundry, anyway, she could take it home to do, and Ji Liansong and Ji Mingfang couldn't stop her with Sanya.

In this way, I have persisted for many days.

Ji glanced at her wrinkled and white hands, and was a little speechless for a while.

After a while, he asked, "How is this billed?" ”

Ji Xuelan smiled: "Now the clothes are thin, five or six pieces are worth a penny, if there is any damage, carry it to the sewing and repair, and it should be better when the weather is cold." ”

Five or six pieces only earn a penny, and you have to take the time to sew, and you can make a lot of money from morning to night in a day?

Needless to say, how dirty the clothes are on the construction site.

And the people who do the work are poor, if it weren't for the sewing and mending, I'm afraid that not many people will pay for a penny.

When it's cold, it's estimated that the change of clothes is not as diligent as when it's hot, and if it's colder, the construction site will be stopped, and it will be more difficult to get work.

Ji Xuelan didn't think of what Ji thought, but there was no better way out at the moment, so she could only take one step at a time.

The general situation was asked clearly, and Ji directly explained his intentions.

"I have a job here, but I don't know if you're interested."

Ji Xuelan was pleasantly surprised when she heard Ji say that she wanted to introduce a job to herself. After listening to her finish telling the truth, she waved her hand again and again.

It's not that I don't want to, but I ......

"It's for this, just let you know, isn't it just a hand, and you don't have any money. I sent the bag to town and told the people about it, and I stopped going for the next few days, and I was done with it...... By the way, you estimate that it will take a few days, do you want me to call your uncle back? ”

Ji shook his head.

"I need help, not just from the field, but also from people. Let me tell you this, I'm going to start a small business, I won't mention what I want to do, but if you're willing to help me, then I'll have to pay the wage. If you don't want to ask for the money, then I'll have to ask someone else for help. ”

Ji Xuelan looked embarrassed: "It's all a family...... I don't know if you're going to be unhappy if you say that, but I'm your cousin after all, and I have to pay for a job for you, so what's the point? Your uncle has to scold me if he finds out. ”

"I ...... There's no unhappiness, it's just one yard to one yard. If it was a day or two, I wouldn't say anything, but it's not a matter of three or two days. You still have to feed the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl, and you can't afford to delay. And it is natural to pay for labor in exchange for payment, whether it is in my place or in someone else's, there is no difference. ”

Ji said and stood up.

"If you think about my words, there is nothing to be embarrassed about making money with your own hands. Anyway, even if you don't come, I will have to spend my wages, but I want you more than others, because ...... You're my cousin. ”

Ji Xuelan didn't know if what really moved her was the sentence "It's nothing to be embarrassed to make money with your own hands", or the sentence "Because you are my cousin".

After sending off the season, she stood in the yard for a while, hurried to the town with the bag of clothes, and returned before noon.

Seeing her empty-handed, Yang was a little worried: "How can I ...... today?" Did you continue to live? ”

"No, there is a job, but I didn't take it, I'm going to do something else."

Ji Xuelan said Ji's intentions for a while, and finally said firmly:

"Mother, I'm going to follow Xiaogan."
