Chapter 6: To the Town
Her longing little eyes made Li Shi can't bear to refuse, but the town is too far away, and it takes a lot of time to come and go, not to mention, and it is still very tiring. The most important thing is that now that there is no food at home, it is very physically demanding to go out, and you will be even hungrier.
"Xi'er, let's not go, just in this mountain, play with the second dog of Aunt Wang's family next door."
Jiang Xi wrinkled her little nose, she had something important to do when she went to town.
In her previous life, her family had a winery, and she would have some of it.
When she saw those wild grapes yesterday, she thought of making wine, but she also needed some condiments and a large jar to make wine.
She wanted to go to town to see how much it costed, and by the way, find out if there was a way to make a little money.
continued to pull Lee's clothes, became a child, and learned to be coquettish as a matter of course.
"Mother, just let me go, I don't even know what the town looks like."
As soon as she said this, Li's eyes turned red again.
At this time, Old Man Jiang walked out.
"Chunju, you can take the child to have a look."
Jiang Xi turned his head, and then looked at Old Man Jiang seriously.
has white hair, and although there are many wrinkles on the face, it can be seen that he should have looked good when he was young.
His eyes are bright, different from the appearance of his grandmother who is about to run out of oil, if he takes care of it, it should be no problem to live for another ten years.
"Master, my mother and I will go to town to see if we can find something to do. We'll be back in the evening and bring something good to eat. There is another sentence that Jiangxi didn't say, she wanted to grab some medicine for the grandmother inside, such a kind person can't be swallowed by illness.
Old Man Jiang touched her little head and smiled kindly: "Okay, grandpa is waiting at home." ”
He echoed the river, knowing that it was impossible.
If work was so easy to find, their family would not have fallen to the point where they can't even afford to eat sorghum rice.
Li's big hand held Jiangxi's small hand, the road was very long, and on the way, Li told some small stories with Jiangxi.
Li Bai's iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, as well as the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder, and the story of Kong Rong making pears.
Jiang Xi had heard these in her previous life, but when she said it from Li's mouth, it had a special magic power, and she liked it very much.
When he finished speaking, he had already walked more than half of the road, and Jiang Xi asked in surprise: "Mother, how do you know these stories?" ”
The smile on the corner of Li's mouth slowly retracted, and sadness appeared in his eyes.
"That's what your father told me before. You forget, he's a showman, the only one in our village. ”
Speaking of her husband, Li's face was proud, and even the back that was bent down because of fatigue on weekdays was straightened at this moment.
Jiang Xi thought that the Li family should love her father very much, otherwise he would not mention him again, and his eyes were full of little stars.
"Mother, I also believe that Dad will come back one day."
Holding Li's hand tightened slightly, knowing in her heart that there was no hope, she was still willing to give Li this hope.
When the two arrived in town, it was already noon.
Stomach, very hungry, but neither Li nor Jiangxi said that they wanted to eat.
"Huh? Have you heard of it, Shen Yuanwai's family has posted a notice to recruit the cook, including food and accommodation, and two dollars of silver every month. ”
A man suddenly ran past them and announced the good news to the two men in front of them.
"Isn't it? Where do you look. ”
"It's on the outer wall of Shen Yuanwai's backyard, don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself."
"What else to see, go home first, tell the mother-in-law at home, let them try, maybe they will be chosen."
The three of them hurried home.
Li and Jiangxi glanced at each other, and they both paid attention to the job of the cook.
