Chapter 31: Departure

The little second-hand foot quickly cleaned up the remaining wine, meat and tea on several tables, and even the meat bones and minced meat foam scattered on the ground were carefully picked up and put into the wooden bucket filled with rancid water.

Now that the year is not good, many tenant farmers have become beggars fleeing the famine, although they can still eat and drink, but they do not dare to waste food at will.

These meat, bones, and minced meat stained with dirt and dust are unbearable for people to eat, but it is okay to feed them to pigs and dogs.

Xiao Er was still sighing in his heart while collecting it.

Today, there is not only a lot of rancid water, but the quality is not bad, and the pigs, pigs, dogs and dogs at home are all blessed.

Recently, business is very bad, there are few customers, the profit margin is small, and today there is a bad thing, the old man of the restaurant has lost a lot of money, and he is uncomfortable and angry, and he has become more stingy.

After Xiao Er cleaned up a few tables, he came over again and took a turn, carefully checked it carefully, and made sure that nothing was missing that could still be used, and then slowly paced back to the counter with his hands behind his back.

The old man sat down behind the counter, took out a black wooden box, picked out the copper plates and broken silver inside, and counted them one by one with a serious expression.

There are so many totals, and no matter how carefully you count them, there won't be a few more.

The old man of the restaurant sighed while counting, wanting to scold his mother, and was afraid that the wall had ears, so he could only muttered to himself in the end: "This day is getting more and more sad, tired and tired of working for a day, I didn't even keep the capital, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that my little pergola will be closed, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

The old man of the restaurant sighed three times in a row, and after venting himself, not only did he not feel a little better, but he became even more depressed.

It's all money!

As long as he thought of the meat and wine that was eaten and drunk by Jing Ye and other officials just now, and the things that they had done to him before leaving, which caused him a lot of losses, his heart was full of convulsions and pain, and when he had a migraine attack, he couldn't wait to drop the cup and bowl to relieve his hatred, he bought it back with real money, and he was reluctant to do it, this fire could only burn more and more in his heart.

…… These robber officials raised by bitches will be cut down by rogue robbers sooner or later!

The old man finally scolded fiercely in his heart.

Xiao Er and the old man of the restaurant came over to sweep once, and every time, Xiao Chanhuan's heart rose to her throat.

She stared nervously at the pig's knuckle hidden in the grass not far away, and read the names of all the gods and bosses in her heart, such as "Sanqing Sage", "Western Heavenly Buddha", "Jade Emperor", "Jesus Angel", "Monkey King", ...... Something like that, as long as she knows, she has read it all over again, and it is basically a recitation of both Chinese and Western.

For all the big guys, she has only one wish - to bless the pork knuckle from being discovered!

She and Niu Dali had been waiting for this stutter for a day, and it would be really tragic for them to have even the last pork knuckle snatched away.

The big guy bless don't find the pork knuckle, the big guy bless don't find the pork knuckle, the big guy bless don't find the pork knuckle......

When Xiao Er and the old man of the restaurant came to sweep, Xiao Chanhuan kept praying in her heart.

Xu is her prayer was really accidentally heard by someone who didn't know whether it was the big guy in the east or the big guy in the west, and the big guy blessed them with kindness.

Xiao Er just turned around the periphery of the pergola slightly, and didn't see anything to pick up again, so he quickly turned around and went back.

The old man of the restaurant walked a little farther than Xiao Er, and almost walked to the place where the pig's knuckle fell!

Fortunately, there were guests in the pergola at this time who finished eating and were ready to settle the bill, and the old man of the restaurant answered "came", hurriedly glanced at it, and quickly turned around and trotted all the way back to the pergola counter.

God knows that the moment the old man of the restaurant turned around and left, Xiao Chanhuan was so excited that tears were about to fall.

Their pork knuckle was saved!

The guests in the pergola walked a few more times one after another, and the sky was getting darker, and there were many fewer people coming and going.

The old man of the restaurant felt uncomfortable, and he didn't have much heart to do business anymore, and after the last group of guests checked out and left, he commanded Xiao Er in a loud voice, saying: "That's it for today, I think the time is almost up, you pack up your things, we are ready to go back." ”

The sun has begun to set in the west, and night is the best petri dish for breeding evil thoughts, and it is also the favorite time for the rogue robbers to hang out, and with the veil of night as a cover, they are simply invincible.

The old man of the restaurant can't afford to provoke Jing Ye and other officials, and he can't afford to provoke the rogue robbers, so he will die if he is reasonable, and the latter will die if he is unreasonable.

In these days, business has to be done, life is also important, for safety, they must rush back before the sun sets, and if the gates are closed in the city, they will have to spend the night in fear outside.

The old man of the restaurant is very self-aware, he knows that he and Xiao Er, the old and the weak, if they are locked up outside the city, it is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and when they come down overnight, there will be no scum left that will be swallowed.

If according to the usual calculation of the old man of the restaurant, until the last moment, he will not let Xiao Er pack up his things and rush back, today the sun is just setting in the west and is about to leave, he is really angry with Jing Ye and other officials, and he has not made any money, he has not said it for a day, and he has a migraine attack, he is very angry, and he has no intention of continuing to do business.

I cleaned up early today, and I was able to go back early, and Xiao Er was also very happy, he could spend more time with his mother and children today.

God knows, he can't go home until it's dark every day, and at this time, his son has already fallen asleep, leaving only the lady to wait for him.

It's been a long time since he's seen his son when he's sober, playing with him, and he's now very worried about whether his son doesn't know him anymore!

It's all sad to say it, and he has also paid a lot for life.

However, the old man of the restaurant is still an extremely stingy and harsh master, not to mention the low salary, and he is required to get up early and work greedily at night, calling people like pigs, cows, sheep and horses, and there is no time to rest.

If it weren't for the fact that the world was getting more and more difficult, in order to support his mother and son, he would have stopped doing this job a long time ago.

Ay...... Pity.

Xiao Er sighed in his heart, and quickly cheered up again, it was a good thing to be able to go home early today.

Xiao Er had hope in his heart, and his movements were a little more neat.

After all the valuable belongings and remaining grain were loaded onto the ox cart, the old man and Xiao Er drove the ox cart and walked slowly along the post road to Zhushan County.
