Xiaoru said thank you and took Xiaojian back to the rental house, and tried to ask the landlord if there was a big plastic sheet, which she used to set up a stall.

The landlord's aunt didn't have it at home, so she ran out and asked someone else for a plastic sheet, and Xiaoru washed the plastic sheet and dried it outside the house.

Xiao Chu went back to the county to carry their luggage, although the landlord provided simple furniture, but did not provide a bed, if they did not carry the bed today, how could they spend the night here?

Taking advantage of the time to dry the plastic sheet, Xiaoru was not idle, and went to the black market to buy ten catties of rice noodles, the reason why he bought so little is because the rice noodles on the black market in the city are five cents more expensive than the one catty sold in the county.

The food you have to eat every day is five cents more expensive per catty, at least two cents a day, and six yuan a month, and these six dollars can buy several catties of meat for his brothers and sisters!

So Xiao Ru refused to buy more, she was going to buy only five catties of the same, and then asked Xiao Chu to go to the county tomorrow to buy grain or something, but the boss who sold the grain refused, and the starting price was at least ten catties a sale, so she had to buy ten catties of each.

You have to buy pots and spices, and you can't burn earthen stoves in the city, you have to buy stoves and coal, which costs money.

Lin Cuier only had a settling-in fee of sixty yuan, and she spent thirty yuan to pay the rent, and the remaining thirty yuan was quickly spent like running water.

When there were only five yuan left in the end, Lin Cuier didn't dare to spend it anymore, and now there is not a penny in the account, the money is gone, if you can't get along in the city, you won't even have the money to go back to the county seat.

Xiao Ru didn't even dare to buy a handful of vegetables, no vegetables to eat, couldn't cook rice, but couldn't make handmade noodles without a rolling pin, so Xiao Ru cooked a pot of pimple soup, and Xiao Chu came back with his luggage just in time to eat hot.

Xiao Ru didn't buy dishes and chopsticks, and when Xiao Chu returned to the county, she specially asked him to bring all the dishes and chopsticks seasonings.

Xiao Chu held a bowl of steaming gnocchi and said, "If I go again tomorrow, I should be able to carry all our things." ”

Then he said: "The landlord saw me moving things, and specially asked me if we still rent the house, and I haven't replied to her yet, because I don't know if you will go to the county middle school to sell food after the school starts." ”

Xiao Ru lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said: "You bring money tomorrow to hand over next month's rent to the landlord, we can't return the house in the county seat for the time being, in case we can't stand in the city, there will be a way out." ”

Xiao Chu replied yes.

After a simple dinner, it was already on the lights, and the three sisters and brothers carried the clothes they wanted to sell on their backs and went out to set up a stall with the dried plastic sheet.

At night, the number of people setting up stalls has decreased a lot, mainly because people don't have much nightlife in that era, so the flow of people at night is not even half of the daytime, and some stalls make money during the day, so they don't want to continue to set up stalls at night to earn those hard-earned money.

Xiaoru chose a location that he thought was good, put the stall down, and the three sisters and brothers froze in the cold wind for nearly half an hour, except for two who came to ask the price, they didn't even open it.

Xiao Ru glanced at Xiao Jian, whose face was red from cold, and said to Xiao Chu: "You go back with Xiao Jian, I'll set up a stall alone, so as not to make Xiao Jian frosty and have to spend medical expenses." ”

Xiao Chu looked around, and under the neon lights in the city, he always felt that there was hidden danger: "Then I'll send Xiao Jian back and come soon, I don't worry about you setting up a stall alone with a girl." As he spoke, he reached out to hug Komi.

Xiao Jian refused to go home, his little body flashed, and he hid behind Xiao Ru: "I don't want to stay at home alone, it's as cold at home as outside!" And I was wearing a thick cotton jacket, so it wasn't cold at all, and my sister didn't believe in touching my hands. As he spoke, he stretched out a small hand tucked into a cotton sleeve.

Xiaoru touched it, but it was really warm, so she let him stay.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Ru only sold a total of three clothes, and all of them were cheap padded jackets.

She paid attention to the stalls selling clothing during the day, and the price was thirty-five, and they could sell it at 30, and they would not sell it if it was lower than that.

But in the evening, the business was very poor, and all the clothes could not be sold at a price, and the three padded jackets were finally sold for twenty-five yuan, and the three sisters and brothers only earned fifteen yuan after freezing for several hours in the cold wind.

Xiaoru saw that there were no pedestrians on the street, and it was estimated that there would be no business if he kept it, so he closed the stall.

Xiao Chu carried all the unsold goods on his back, let Xiao Ru lead Xiao Jian, and the three sisters and brothers walked to the rental house.

Xiao Chu was optimistic by nature, and said excitedly on the road: "It's good to sell clothes, we have earned fifteen yuan in such a bad business at night, if we sell it during the day, the business will definitely be better than at night, and it is not a problem to earn thirty yuan a day." ”

Xiao Ru hated to press him to the ground and beat him up, if she only earned 30 yuan a day when she stood outdoors in the cold wind, it would be better for her to sell food at the school gate, and she could earn 30 yuan by selling two meals a day, and she didn't have to be cold!

Komi couldn't be more right, the inside of the rental house was exactly as cold as the outside, and it was full of old bedding, so sleeping inside was like sleeping on the road.

Xiaoru and Xiaojian are in the same bed, and both of them are about to hug the bear, but they are still shivering with cold.

Xiao saw a fierce shiver between his upper and lower teeth, and said to Xiao Ru: "The two of us are about to freeze to death when we sleep in the same bed, I don't know if my brother is still alive." ”

"Leave him alone, if he freezes to death, he will freeze to death." Xiao Ru thought about it, "If your second brother really freezes to death, we will have meat to eat tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jian asked in surprise: "Why is the second brother freezing to death, we will have meat to eat tomorrow." ”

Xiao Ru felt an itchy nose, quickly put her head out of the quilt and sneezed, and then retracted into the quilt: "Are you stupid?" Your second brother has already frozen to death, you can't just throw him away, what a waste, at least you have to eat up the meat on his body and throw the bones. ”

It's horrible! Xiao Jian was so frightened that he drilled into Xiao Ru's arms, and he didn't speak for a long time before he spoke: "Second sister, I don't want my second brother to freeze to death, and I don't want to eat his meat, can you go and see if he's still alive?" If he's still alive, you call her to sleep with us, and it's definitely warmer for three people to squeeze into a bed. ”

"Okay, I'll call him." It's all cold like this, and what kind of brother and sister are too old to give and accept kisses, first pass tonight and then restore it to the era of civilization.

Xiao Ru struggled out of the seal of the quilt with all the strength of the wilderness, and quickly ran to Xiao Chu's room next door, and reached into his quilt, it was a boy, and the heat in the quilt was much hotter than that in the quilt between her and Xiao Jian.

Xiao Chu was blown up by her touch, and saw that it was Xiao Ru through the light outside the window without curtains, and said speechlessly: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
