Chapter 993: A Poor Life
Liu Xiuxiu stepped forward first and shouted loudly: "Is anyone at home?" Is Little Brother Chen at home? ”
After shouting a few times in a row, there was a little movement in the house.
"Who is it?"
Liu Xiuxiu heard a somewhat immature voice coming out of the house, and then saw a person walking out of the house, a little familiar, and a little small.
"It's you! You're that brother. Liu Xiuxiu recognized the little boy in front of her and said, "Where is your brother?" ”
"You're that kind sister." The little boy obviously recognized the person in front of him, and was surprised and hurriedly invited the two in, and poured them two bowls of water, but the bowl was a little shabby.
"There's only this in the house, there's nothing good to entertain my sister, I'm sorry." The little boy seemed to be a little guilty, and then saw Liu Xiuxiu staring at the bowl of water tightly, thinking that they were disgusted, and hurriedly said: "This bowl is clean, it's just a little old, not dirty." ”
"Don't worry! I didn't mind. Liu Xiuxiu sensed the little boy's nervousness and smiled at him comfortingly, and then said, "I just think it's a little strange, by the way, what about your brother, how are you two doing these days?" ”
"It's okay, thank you sister for helping us a year ago, otherwise our two brothers really don't know how to spend this year!" The little boy took a small bench and sat down, and then said, "My brother has gone out to water the vegetables in the field, and he will be back in a while. ”
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, just wait a while!" Liu Xiuxiu hurriedly said, for fear that the little boy would really run out after a while.
"I've got some snacks for you."
Liu Xiuxiu said this as she took out some snacks wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket and stuffed them into the little boy's arms.
"I can't ask for it." The little boy looked at the snacks in his arms, as if he could smell the sweet smell, but he still shook his head and said, "Brother said, we can't just ask for other people's things, sister, you better take it back!" ”
"It's okay, you just take it, this is my sister and I made it myself, and it's not worth a few dollars, not to mention that we always have to bring some gifts when we come to the door, you can accept it." Liu Xiuxiu smiled lightly, looked at the child, and then said, "Eat quickly, by the way, what's your name?" ”
Although Chen Feng withdrew his hand, he still didn't eat it immediately, and put it aside after wrapping it, looking very well-behaved, and said: "Then I'll eat it later, I'll wait for my brother to come back and eat with my brother, my name is Chen Feng, my brother's name is Chen Zheng, sister, will you come to us for something?" ”
"There's a little bit of something I want to ask your brother to do me a favor, but let's wait for your brother to come back!" Liu Xiuxiu touched Chen Feng's head, "It's okay, if you want to eat first, I still have a lot of them!" ”
Chen Feng was very obedient, even if Liu Xiuxiu said so much, he never had the idea of taking a bite first.
After a while, Chen Zheng came back, carrying a hoe on the street, his body was dirty, all dirt, and he had to see the door of the house open from a distance, and he was a little puzzled that when he was not at home on weekdays, the door at home was closed, and he also told his younger brother not to open the door casually, but what is going on today?
Chen Zheng was worried that something was going on, so he hurriedly ran home, and after running into the yard, he was panting and wanted to ask his younger brother what was wrong, but he saw Liu Xiuxiu and Ge Luo sitting next to him first.
"Sister Liu?"
Chen Zheng still remembered Liu Xiuxiu's name, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, only to react later, put down the things on his body, and then said: "There are guests at home, I thought ...... Wait a minute, I'm dirty, I'll go change into clean clothes and wash my face. ”
Chen Zheng also knew that he was so dirty, not suitable for seeing guests, after saying this, he immediately ran to the room, changed into clean clothes, and then ran outside the courtyard to fetch some water, at least wash his face and hands before walking in.
"Sister Liu, is there something you came over for today?" Chen Zheng looked at a strange man beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little restrained, and the man didn't look like he was easy to mess with, so he asked carefully.
"You don't have to be so restrained, he is my husband, the two of us just got married a few days ago, and we came here today because I want to find you for something." Liu Xiuxiu smiled lightly to soothe his nervousness, and then continued: "That's the case, I recently opened a shop to sell some snacks, the store has been a little busy recently, and there are not enough people, so I thought about finding a few juniors to help, and then I thought of the two of you brothers, do you want to go to my store to help?" Although you can't be rich and expensive, you must still have enough food and clothing. ”
"My shop is not quite the same as other stores, do five days, two days off, when the three of them are busy, when they are sober, there is nothing to do, so if you really go to find a few juniors, it is a waste to ask you, only the two of you are young, and there is no shopkeeper willing to accept the two of you to work, you or go to my house to help for a while, if you live, you will live directly in my house, and there is a spare room for you to live."
"I'll take care of all the food, clothing and housing, and then give you two brothers 20 yuan a day, five days and two days of rest, and I won't pay you for those two days, only food and accommodation, what do you think? If you can, you can pack your things and come with me now. ”
Liu Xiuxiu tried her best to explain her requirements and why she was looking for the two of them, she was in business, and she was not a good person to help them, but she couldn't help them in vain, and looking at the leaky air leakage of the surrounding houses, the broken holes, I could feel the cool breeze blowing outside after living here for a long time, and I was still a little worried about these two children living here, after all, I was still a little uneasy, if I could agree, it would be good to take it over earlier.
"Thank you, sister, you can just eat and live, you don't need so much salary, our two brothers can't do much work, and we can buy a pound of pork for twenty dollars a day." Chen Zheng is very excited about this matter, mainly because of his younger brother.
It's okay to be able to eat enough by yourself, but my younger brother can't, he's still young, this is the time to grow his body, how can he eat these non-nutritious things with him all day long.
