Li Bokang fell asleep while talking to her, and she looked at him and fell asleep slowly.

On this day, Yang Xue finally found someone who could cook for their family.

This time the person was invited outside, not very old, twenty-eight years old, but he looked like he was in his thirties.

In addition to her, she also brought a boy of seven or eight years old, who she said was her son.

This person was discovered by Yang Xue by accident, and later felt that she was quite suitable, coupled with the kindness that suddenly flooded somehow, he felt that they were very pitiful, so he let her stay.

At that time, Chunhua's sister-in-law told her that the man in her family died of illness, her husband's family had a large population, and she had only given birth to a son after so many years of marriage.

And the most important thing is that their family is poor, and now that their son is still young and can't do any work, their sisters-in-law and younger siblings are not happy to support their mother and son, saying that their mother and son eat white rice.

Later, she also persuaded her parents-in-law that she wanted to marry her, but her son couldn't go with her, and he had to stay in her Zhang family, which was her father-in-law's house.

She has also lived in the Zhang family for so many years, and she still knows a little about their family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are good, but she is also easy to listen to others, so she is not at ease to leave her children in the Zhang family, and she does not want to remarry.

Just because she didn't agree to remarry, the parents-in-law in the family also had opinions about her after being instigated by the concubines in the family, and those concubines even scolded her.

The life of the mother and son in the Zhang family became more and more difficult, and sometimes they had to work all day without food.

Later, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran out of Zhang's house with the child, and on the day she ran out, she still took the child out under the pretext that she went to chop wood with Goudaner.

Originally, the Zhang family was a little afraid that she would run away with the child, but later they were relieved when they saw that they had no signs of that at all, but they would not let their mother and son go out to work together, even if they were together, there would be family members with them.

Therefore, it is really not easy for their mother and son to run out this time.

After running out, their mother and son didn't have a better life, and they still didn't eat, only occasionally when they were lucky, they could get something to eat, and it was really because people were too poor.

Moreover, when they were in Zhang's house before, they could still have a place that was very broken, but it was still a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but now that they are out, there is no grass shed to shelter from the wind and rain.

But even so, their mother and son still didn't want to go back to Zhang's house, so they kept wandering outside and came to the county seat.

Later, I heard that the new county magistrate in the county was recruiting people to cook, and there was money every month to have a place to live and eat, but it never came.

When Chunhua's sister-in-law heard this, she thought that she could cook by herself, and the taste was not very bad, so she was ready to try it and try her luck, and then she inquired about the location of the county government and brought her son here.

Because someone came to the door to answer the call, Yang Xue also saw her, and Yang Xue's first image of them was tattered.

But it's pretty tattered, but it's still clean.

Of course, it means that the skin on their bodies can be seen, and their clothes are still quite dirty.

Seeing this, Yang Xue's first reaction was no, how can the people who cook love to be clean, it feels bad to see them like this.

So, in the end, she didn't have any thoughts, but she still asked as usual.

The answers I got were similar to those who had applied in the past, but this time it was a little different.

Because in the past, people basically said that they could reduce the burden on their families and make money, but this time they said that they had a place to live and something to eat.

She was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked at the little boy who followed her to apply, and thought that they might have something else.

Sure enough, the man then said that if she was to work here, she would have to take her baby with her.

When the man spoke, there was some worry and trepidation in his tone, but she heard it, so she asked, "Then who are you?" ”

Later, Chunhua's sister-in-law told her about what happened to them, and she was still a little apprehensive when she spoke.

After hearing this, she somehow became a little pitiful, so she asked Chunyue to take her to the kitchen to cook some dishes, and then decided whether to recruit her.

In the end, as predictable, she left the mother and son behind, and arranged them in two separate rooms in the courtyard.

After Chunhua's sister-in-law knew that their mother and son could stay, she directly pulled the child and kowtowed to Yang Xue twice, thanking him for keeping their mother and son.

He also said: "As long as the mother and son have a place to live and something to eat, she doesn't want any wages." ”

Yang Xue looked at her seriously after hearing this, and after knowing that she really thought so, she said, "Why? ”

Chunhua's sister-in-law said: "Madame can accept our mother and son, it is a great favor to us, now it is winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, if Madame does not take us in, we may freeze to death outside." ”

"Moreover, I also have a child, and my wife has to raise one more person, which is that Mrs. is tolerant, and the women don't dare to ask for other things, otherwise the women will be greedy."

When Chunhua's sister-in-law said this, she was still a little frightened, but her conscience told her that this was what she should do.

Yang Xue didn't speak anymore after hearing this, so she asked Chunyue to take their mother and son down to make arrangements.

Chunhua's sister-in-law kowtowed to her again when she left, and then went down with Chunyue.

Yang Xue watched them leave, she sat there in a daze, she felt that she was a little strange about what had just happened, she felt that she was not the kind of person who was overflowing with love.

Although the sister-in-law of Chunhua just now is pitiful and can cook, the taste of the food is not very good, and it does not meet her original requirements, according to common sense, she should not agree, but she agreed that she stayed.

Moreover, this is only her side of the story, she believes it without even checking it, in case she is a liar.

She didn't think about any of this, and then she agreed, she felt that she was really a little surprised.

In this way, she sat until the afternoon, until Li Bokang returned from the county office.

When Li Bokang returned to the backyard, he saw her sitting there alone, as if she was in a daze, and there was no one around.

He didn't even change his official uniform and came to her, shook his hand twice in front of her eyes, and then she saw him come back.

Seeing Li Bokang come back, she subconsciously looked at the sky outside, and then realized that she had been sitting for a long time.

Then he turned his head to look at Li Bokang in front of him and asked, "When did you come back, how was today, are you tired?" ”

Li Bokang replied truthfully: "I just came back, and I saw you sitting here as if you were in a daze, so I came over to take a look, it's okay today, not particularly tired." ”

Yang Xue listened and said, "That's good." ”

Then he looked at Li Bokang's official uniform and said, "You go change your clothes first, you have to eat in a while." ”

Li Bokang responded and prepared to change his clothes.
