"Hey! Qiuxi, is that you? You said you were coming back yesterday, and I thought it would take you a few days to arrive, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

It turned out that the deputy butler's name was Qiuxi, and he only found out about it today.

"yes, quick?" The deputy butler said with a smile.

"Yes, I knew I was going to pick you up on the street, come into the house, come in, oh, I didn't know you would be able to arrive today, and I didn't prepare anything to eat at home."

"Sister Li, don't be so troublesome, I'll stay for a while and leave." The deputy housekeeper seemed to remember that there was such a person as Night Chess, and turned around and said: "Come here, let me introduce you, this is Sister Li, Sister Li, this is the girl I told you, called Night Chess, and she will live in your house in the future." ”

"Hello Sister Li." Night chess greetings politely.

"Hello, hello, it's this girl you're talking about."

"Yes."

"This girl is so good-looking, like an actress on TV." Sister Li rarely sees such a delicate and beautiful person, and she praises her beauty as if she is like an actor on TV, "It just so happens that there is a small room behind my kitchen, so she lives there." ”

The assistant butler nodded, "It's good to have a room." "As for whether the room is good or bad, she doesn't care.

"Come girl, I'll show you your room." Sister Li led the way in front, walked down from the hall through the corridor, there was a staircase to go upstairs, Yeqi would not think that her room was upstairs, and there was a kitchen all the way down, and there was a back door in the kitchen, and you could go out from there, and you saw a room.

The hut that Sister Li said is really a hut, open the door and go in and see a single bed, a very small kind, there is a table and a chair next to the bed, and there is a wooden wardrobe behind the bed, looking at the color is a little old.

"This is your room." Sister Li said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yeqi nodded, this room is indeed small and pitiful, but now she is no longer the eldest lady, and it is already very good to have a place to live.

Leaving the night chess in the room, the deputy housekeeper pulled Sister Li out, put the bag she was carrying on the ground, unzipped it, and said in a low voice: "This is a sum of money, and that girl will live with you in the future." ”

A big bag of money! Sister Li touched the touch, and said with a golden glint in her eyes: "I will, I will definitely take good care of her, you can rest assured." ”

Three years later, a young girl came out of a sugar cane field with a dozen middle-aged women, who were very thin and wore a long-sleeved shirt that looked loose, like a hemp bag.

She walked with women of a different age, each carrying a large bag with lunch boxes and water bottles, and those were their own lunches.

It's half past five o'clock now, it's a hot summer, the sun goes down late, walking on the gravel road, those stones are very hot, and the naked eye can see a layer of heat rolling on the ground.

During this time, the temperature was thirty-seven thirty-eight, and every day I cut sugar cane under the sun, sweating profusely, as if it had been raining heavily.

Yeqi's complexion was no longer as fair as it used to be, it was yellowed from the sun, and even her delicate face was much drier because she had not taken good care of it, and her hair had been cut short, wet with sweat and sticking to her forehead one by one.

They walked to the side of the road in the sun, took out the water in their bags and drank it, and some simply took out the leftovers to eat, in short, they could fill their stomachs and quench their thirst.

After waiting for half an hour, the shuttle bus came, and they swarmed up to find a place to sit down, Yeqi was used to such things, and every time she was the last to get on the bus, there was no place but to stand.

The driver looked at the women who had to wait for the shuttle bus back and forth to chop sugar cane, and after standing for a while, a toll collector came to collect the fare.

Yeqi took out a five-yuan and one-yuan one from the cloth bag and handed them to the people, and then looked at the green plants that were rapidly retreating outside the car window.

It's been three years, and her life has remained the same......
