Mu Xiu took out four ten-yuan coins from his arms, handed them to the curly-haired salesman, and said in a flat tone: "Cash, the shoes are for me." ”

The curly-haired salesman didn't expect Mu Xiu to really take out the money, she was slightly surprised, but she still took the money, and then wrapped the shoes and handed them to Mu Xiu.

"Salesman, I'll pull some more cloth." After Mu Xiu took the packaged shoes and change, she asked again.

"One foot of cloth costs 1 yuan." Although the curly-haired salesman's tone was light, his attitude was much better than just now.

"Okay, I want six feet of red cotton cloth with flowers, and three feet of black coarse cloth." Mu Xiu's mother-in-law used to be an old tailor, and when she taught Mu Xiu to make clothes, she told her that the previous fabrics were all by the ruler, and one meter was almost three feet three.

Mu Xiaohua's small body frame, make two sets of clothes, and leave some cloth to make an upper, just buy two meters of muslin cloth and one meter of coarse cloth.

"It's a total of 9 yuan, and there are 5 cloth tickets."

Mu Xiu asked with some hesitation, "Is it okay to have food stamps?" ”

"No, no, no, food stamps are food stamps, cloth stamps are cloth stamps, buying cloth not only requires money, but also cloth stamps, little girl, you better go home and let your adults come to buy things." After the curly-haired salesman finished speaking, he ignored Mu Xiu, sat back in the position he had just now, and continued to chat with the other two salesmen.

After all, Mu Xiu is not a person of this era, and the original owner does not have the concept of these things in his mind, and the original owner does not know what food stamps and cloth stamps are......

It seems that I don't want to buy cloth today, and when I go back, I will inquire about the market situation and stop making jokes.

Mu Xiu received the shoes in the small back basket, and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, but he was in too much of a hurry, and he knocked down a little boy as soon as he went out.

Mu Xiu hurriedly put her hand in her pocket, and as soon as her heart moved, there were a few more fruit candies in her pocket, she took out one and handed it to the little boy, "Little brother, I'm sorry, my sister gave you candy to eat, don't cry." ”

As soon as the little boy heard that there was sugar, he immediately raised his head, took the candy, forgot to cry, and hurriedly peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mu Xiu was relieved to see that the little boy was not crying, but she was most afraid of seeing the child crying, so Mu Xiu helped the little boy up.

At that time, the children seemed to have one thing in common, that is, their faces were yellow, they were ill-fitting, and they were very thin, there was no way, everyone was poor, and the children often had at least three in a family, even if the family was a dual-income family, it was a little difficult to raise.

"Sugar, it's so sweet, thank you, sister." The little boy smiled at Mu Xiu with a smile on his dirty face.

"Little brother, why are you running around on the street alone, what about your family?" Mu Xiu looked around, but he didn't find any adults watching over the little boy nearby, and he didn't see any adults looking for the little boy coming over at this time.

"My house is in front, and my mother is busy, so I ran out to play alone." The little boy said indifferently, Mu Xiu looked at his accustomed expression, it seemed that he often ran around alone.

Mu Xiu looked at the little boy in front of him, that is, five or six years old, his parents' hearts were big enough, and they were not afraid that the child would run away or be abducted.

I have to say that Mu Xiu really thinks too much, at that time, his own children can't eat enough, who still has the heart to raise other people's children.

But Mu Xiu couldn't let go, "Little brother, where is your home?" Sister will send you home. ”

The little boy just ate Mu Xiu's candy, and only felt that this sister was the best person, so he nodded obediently, and walked in the direction of home with Mu Xiu.

The little boy's home was indeed not far away, and after walking a few steps, he turned a street and arrived, but the little boy's home looked a little special, in the janitor's room of a dilapidated factory.

"Mommy, Mommy, I'm back!" As soon as the little boy arrived at the door, he shouted happily.

"Little rabbit, I ran out again silently, didn't I say that you should not run around, you see how I clean you up." A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside the house.

Immediately afterwards, a chubby figure came out of the house, carrying a feather duster in his hand, and said with a curse in his mouth: "The old lady works so hard every day, you can't settle down, and then run outside, see if I don't break your dog's legs." ”

The middle-aged woman, who was big and fat, reached out and dragged the little boy over, and the feather duster in her right hand hit it.

After two blows, the little boy was in pain and began to cry.

"Auntie, dissipate your anger, the child is still young, don't break it." Mu Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the little boy over.

"Who are you? I educate my children, what do you care? By the way, you were with my son just now, were you uneasy and kind? The middle-aged woman looked at Mu Xiu in an unkind tone.

"Mom, my sister sent me home and gave me candy to eat, my sister is not a bad person." Although the little boy was crying, he also knew that Mu Xiu was not a bad person.

"Candy for you? You don't want to eat candy, you want to eat crazy, sugar is as expensive as it, who would be willing to give it to someone you don't know. The boy's mother looked incredulous.

"Auntie, I came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I saw my little brother alone on the street, and I was worried that he was lost, so I sent him back." Mu Xiu had to explain out loud.

"This is the candy that a relative of mine grabbed me, I gave my brother a piece, Auntie, you eat candy too, don't be angry." Mu Xiu grabbed a few hard candies from his pocket and handed them to the little boy's mother.

"Ah, that's precious!" The little boy's mother changed her face very quickly, and her angry appearance quickly turned into a smile on her face.

It's just that the hand was not ambiguous at all, and he held the candy given by Mu Xiu tightly into his hand, for fear that she would regret it, so he quickly peeled one off and filled it into his mouth, making a satisfied sound.

"Mom, I still have candy." Although the little boy had tears on his face and looked obviously afraid of his mother, he still couldn't resist the temptation of candy, his eyes were full of longing, and he said timidly.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman did not scold him, but peeled off another piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mu Xiu originally sent the little boy back, and when he saw his mother messing around like this, he didn't want to explain too much, he just wanted to leave quickly, but just as Mu Xiu was about to leave, he saw the few unclear words on the iron door that had fallen off, "Scrap recycling station." She immediately changed her mind.
