Chapter 198: The New Year is Approaching
Du Yuniang also went to Liu and told her about it.
Liu also knew that Qiu Caidie had helped them a lot at the beginning, so naturally there was no one who would not agree. He also told her to bring something to the door, so as not to lose her courtesy.
Du Yuniang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Forget it." I heard my grandfather say that their families are very strong, but they are afraid that they will not accept it. It's better to be a trickle of water than to scare people. ”
Liu thought about it and said the same thing, so he didn't say anything.
In this way, Liu Laohan took Du Yuniang out of Du's shop and walked to South Street.
"They live on South Street, huh?" Du Yuniang asked curiously: "There are very few people here!" "It's mostly warehouses, blacksmith shops, and so on.
Liu Laohan said: "Their family was not here before!" It turned out that they were also in the countryside, but after Qiu Shanyuan died, their land and house were deceived by Qiu Shanyuan's mother and his eldest brother, and the mother was not found, so they went to the town. ”
And this kind of thing? It's appalling!
"It's too much!" Du Yuniang couldn't imagine that as soon as her son died, she drove out her daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson, and even cheated away the land and house, which is simply not giving their mother a few ways to live!
"This kind of thing, common! It's everywhere, it's no wonder! When you are a father and mother, you have to level out a bowl of water! For example, your grandfather and me, right, you have six uncles, and I am all treated the same! ”
To say that it is exactly the same treatment is a bit exaggerated. Ten fingers are still long and short, not to mention living people, daughters, with different temperaments, there are always those who are closer and those who are more distant. But Liu Laohan has six sons, and he has done a really good job in this regard, at least the family is harmonious, and there is no big friction.
As the two of them spoke, they walked to the secluded place on South Street, seeing that they were about to leave the city, they could be regarded as finding a place.
"Where does she live?" It's very remote, and the houses are low and low, and they haven't been repaired for years. Many winding paths lead to homes.
Liu Laohan said: "In the south of the city, there are homeless people. To say that the squires in Peach Creek Town are still quite benevolent, at least give these people a place to settle down and give them a place to live. ”
It's the first time Du Yuniang has heard of such a thing, "Why haven't you heard of it before?" She had always thought that there were only warehouses and a few blacksmith shops near the south of the city.
"You kid didn't care about that before!" Liu Laohan said as he said, "It's ahead, it's here." ”
Du Yuniang didn't ask any more, and followed Liu Laohan to an adobe house.
The house is located in the most remote location, and a small yard is fenced around the house. The surrounding area is a barren landscape, probably because of winter, and even dead leaves are hard to see.
Du Yuniang stretched her neck curiously, looking left and right, if it weren't for Liu Laohan leading the way, she would never find this place, and she wouldn't have thought that there would be such a place in Taoxi Town.
Liu Laohan stood outside the fence and shouted into the courtyard: "Dacheng, is Ercheng at home?" Although he is an old man, most of the people who come to Qiu's house talk to Qiu Caidie's two younger brothers, after all, the Deng family is young and widowed, and he is more cautious, and he also saves the neighbors from gossiping.
Qiu Caidie has two younger brothers, the eldest brother is called Qiu Dacheng, and the second north is called Qiu Ercheng.
Compared with her two younger brothers, her name is much more elegant, which shows the love of her parents.
At this moment, the thin wooden door was pushed open, and the person who came out was not Qiu Dacheng, Qiu Ercheng, but Qiu Caidie.
Du Yuniang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but shout: "Caidie! "Actually, she doesn't understand what she's up to!
She's obviously a person who doesn't want to socialize with people. If it's good, she's high, but if it's bad, she's like everyone looks down on her.
In her previous life, the Gao family often reminded her that you yourself are a serving thing, and you are not necessarily much more innocent than Sister Yao in the Qinglou, how can you be qualified to look down on others!
Du Yuniang shook her head and threw the shadow of her past life out of her mind. She smiled and beckoned to Qiu Caidie.
Some people, at first sight, probably so.
Qiu Caidie was very shocked, maybe she didn't expect Liu Laohan and Du Yuniang to come over together.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Caidie has great respect for Liu Laohan, an elder, she knows that he is an old man who her father once saved, and after his father died, he took good care of this big family. But Shi En's father has passed away, and Grandpa Liu has helped them for so many years, and he has already repaid his previous kindness.
Qiu Caidie said as she opened the wooden fence gate and invited the two of them into the hospital.
Liu Laohan asked: "What about Dacheng?" Not at home? ”
Qiu Caidie nodded, her expression was a little unnatural, and she asked again, "Why are you here?" ”
Du Yuniang said: "I told my grandfather that I saw you on the street, but I felt that you were different from the past, and I was a little worried." ”
Du Yuniang is not a person who is good at dealing with girls of the same age, in her previous life, she tried her best to protect herself, fighting with the Gao family, fighting with He Yuangeng, but she had nothing, she could only erect thorns all over her body. But in the end, her thorns were removed one by one, and she was defeated.
It's really nice to be able to talk to people calmly like this.
Qiu Caidie only said: "Actually, it's not a big deal!" She moved two stools and asked Du Yuniang and Liu Laohan to sit down.
"Aren't you a buddy at the brewery? Why don't you do things there? Du Yuniang knew that Qiu Caidie had a strong self-esteem, so she asked very secretly.
Qiu Caidie hung her head, "Anyway, I won't go in the future!" ”
Liu Laohan was shocked: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Qiu Caidie only said: "How could it be! It was my mother's illness that made it not too convenient for my brothers to take care of my mother, so I came back. "The errand of being an apprentice in the workshop was found for her by Grandpa Liu, she disguised herself as a man to do odd jobs in the workshop, and almost no one knew her true identity except for the shopkeeper.
But now, she can't stay there, she can't tell the truth, making it difficult for Grandpa Liu to be a man.
Liu Laohan has lived a long time, where can he not hear Qiu Caidie's shirking? He stood up and asked in a trembling voice, "Caidie, isn't it, is someone bullying you!?" ”
At the beginning, he said that Caidie is a girl's house, and what kind of wine workshop does she go to, there are all men, even if she dresses up as a man, she may not be safe.
But this girl is so twisted that she has to go to Kang's house for anything.
Liu Laohan was so frightened that his hands trembled, for fear that Qiu Caidie would be bullied, and he would really be to blame for his death.
"No, where do you want to go, really not!" Qiu Caidie couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that Liu Laohan was thinking badly.
"Really?"
"Not really."
Liu Laohan saw that she didn't look like a lie, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.
"My mother is really sick! Dacheng and Ercheng are still young, and they are barely able to take care of themselves, how can they take care of my mother? ”
Liu Laohan hurriedly said: "The family's livelihood is fine, if there is anything useful to help, you must tell me." ”
Qiu Caidie smiled bitterly, no matter how good the family's livelihood is, it can't be opened. It's just that Mother said that they have to be strong and can't always rely on other people's handouts to get by, so what happened?
Du Yuniang suddenly asked her: "Caidie, do you want to find a job?" ”
"Looking for a job?" Qiu Caidie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Du Yuniang had moved to the town to live, maybe there was really some work, and it was not necessary for her to earn money to support her family.
That's good news for her.
Qiu Caidie's eyes lit up, "What kind of work?" Yu Niang, do you know where to recruit? However, she doesn't know what kind of work Du Yuniang wants to introduce, she is not good at sewing, embroidering, if Yu Niang introduces such a job to her, she will not be able to go.
This is also the reason why Qiu Caidie went to the workshop to find a job.
"Yes!" Du Yuniang's eyes lit up, "My family is recruiting." ”
Liu Laohan, who was on the side, seemed to understand Du Yuniang's words, and nodded incessantly.
"You're hiring?" Qiu Caidie didn't understand, so she asked again: "What does your family mean by recruiting people?" ”
Du Yuniang said: "My family has opened a noodle restaurant, and the business is okay. Originally, there were enough manpower, but my sister-in-law happened to give birth to two fat boys, so my mother and my grandmother had to wait for my sister-in-law to be confined, and there were not enough people in the shop. ”
"Ah, you're an aunt, congratulations." Qiu Caidie said sincerely, and the smile on her face also brightened.
Du Yuniang said: "There are a lot of things at home, and I can't help but do it when the shop is opened." Caidie, can you come to our house to help? ”
Qiu Caidie was stunned for a moment, "It's just, I don't know anything?" ”
"It's okay, I'm just trying to find someone who cares to help me bring my nephew, and with my grandmother here, she'll tell you how to do it! My sister-in-law eats something during confinement, I will not be ready, you just need to help take care of the children, do some chores, wash and wash things! ”
Miscellaneous work!
She's good at this!
"Is it true?" Qiu Caidie felt that this was simply the best news she had heard recently.
"Hmm!" Du Yuniang really wants to find someone to help, the things in the shop are inseparable from the Liu family, and there are always concerns about letting outsiders do it.
Taking care of children is different, Tian can see it with his own eyes, Li can also see it with his own eyes, and she believes in Qiu Caidie's character.
"I'll give you seven hundred wen a month, plus one lunch and one dinner. You can come in the morning after breakfast and go home in the afternoon. A month, you are given two days off, what do you think? ”
Seven hundred texts!
This is definitely not a small amount of money for Qiu Caidie, and it also provides two meals a day.
Qiu Caidie took Du Yuniang's hand and asked with some excitement: "Yuniang, is it true?" You didn't lie to me? Perhaps, you didn't deliberately help me because you sympathized with me? ”
"Of course it's true, I'm not too rich to have anywhere!" Du Yuniang only said: "It's the same to invite people, why don't you invite your own people?" It's just that I'm going to wronged you, it's not easy to take care of children, and it's tiring to wash and wash. ”
Qiu Caidie almost laughed out loud: "What's this, when my mother gave birth to my second brother, I waited inside and out, Yu Niang, don't worry!" ”
"Then it's settled! Caidie, you will come to work tomorrow! My house is easy to find, at the mouth of the old alley of North Street, Dujia Noodle Restaurant, which has just opened. ”
Qiu Caidie nodded again and again: "I know, I know!" ”
Du Yuniang and Liu Laohan didn't want to stay long, so they got up and said goodbye.
After returning to the shop, Du Yuniang told her about finding Qiu Caidie to help at home.
Liu listened to Qiu Caidie's experience, and he was also sympathetic, and it was a lot of seven hundred words, but Qiu Caidie helped them, and with this favor, it was not much.
"It's up to you!" Liu believes in her daughter's vision, anyway, the money is earned by Yu Niang, and she has no opinion on this matter.
It was Du Heqing who felt a little worried, after all, the other party was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient!
Du Yuniang said: "Huzi is still young, we are also busy in the shop, and you and your eldest brother still have a lot of time to go back to the backyard!" Besides, if you talk about it, the two families are also old, she is the daughter of my grandfather's life-saving benefactor, who can say anything reckless? ”
Du Heqing put his heart at ease and instructed his son a few words.
Du Ankang is the most secure person, and he should all respond at the moment.
Tian knew that Du Yuniang thought about her in everything, and he was grateful. Thinking about the arrogant and indifferent sister-in-law a few years ago, she couldn't connect the Du Yuniang back then with her now.
In the evening of the same day, Liu Laohan drove the Min family and his eldest daughter-in-law home, and said that he would come back when the child was washed.
The Du family has few relatives, and Tian's mother caused an accident again, so except for the Liu family, there is nothing to move around.
Li originally wanted to notify the second room when he washed the third, after all, it was a relative, and the third time the child washed the third was a big deal, and the second room should come. But then, somehow, I didn't mention it, as if I had automatically skipped the matter.
Early the next morning, the Du family had just had breakfast, and Qiu Caidie came. She combed her hair back in a regular manner, tied a new aqua blue bandana, and wore a cleanly washed shirt and pants, which looked very neat.
Du Yuniang took her hand and said, "My family is very kind, you don't have to worry." So he introduced her family members one by one.
Qiu Caidie is called Liu's aunt, and like Du Yuniang, Tian's sister-in-law is called Li's aunt!
Qiu Caidie's name is Uncle Du Heqing, but when he is facing Du Ankang, he is called the owner.
This made Li and Liu very satisfied, but it was not that they were vain, it was just that Qiu Caidie knew how to avoid suspicion and proved that she was a good girl.
Du Yuniang took her to briefly familiarize herself with the environment of the shop and the backyard, and then went to the front.
Although Qiu Caidie was a little restrained, she had work in her eyes, and she rushed to do everything, which made Li and Tian's favor for her rise a lot.
Dujia Noodle Restaurant opened again, and there was a lot of attention, and the neighbors came to ask why it closed yesterday.
Du Heqing couldn't help but share the happy events at home, and also sent some red eggs. I also received a lot of blessings.
After a while, the street became lively, and the number of customers entering and leaving the noodle restaurant gradually increased.
The end of the year is approaching, and the most lively time of the year is coming.
