Yu Xiaocao saw that his eyes were a little evasive when he spoke, and he knew that his injury was not so simple. I think of the "Vanka" I learned when I was a child, the apprentice is a free laborer, and he usually does what he is called to do, and he will be beaten if he is not satisfied.

Looking at the eleven-year-old eldest brother's thin body like a bamboo pole and his face with vegetables, he knew that his life in the woodware shop was not easy. She answered Yu Hang's series of questions one by one, took out the cloth bag wrapped in the shepherd's cabbage buns, and said:

"Everything was fine at home. I learned from Brother Han how to catch hares, and I shared a tael of silver when I went to sell prey today. Brother, don't worry. If you're not happy in the shop, go home, and our family won't lack your food......"

"I'm fine here! The master often praised me for my hard work, and said that in a few days, he would teach me how to cut wood! After two years, I will be able to use my salary to support my family. By the way, what are you doing here? Yu Hang secretly rubbed the leg bone that was hurt by the beating, and quickly changed the topic.

Xiao Shi took a piece of candy from the oil-paper bag he was holding, stuffed it into his brother's mouth, and said with a smile: "The young owner of Zhenyulou still left us to eat!" A table full of dishes, just the three of us. Brother, I left you half a chicken with ginseng in it. Taste it. ”

"Brother Han, thank you for bringing your younger brothers and sisters to see me. It's too far, Xiaocao is not in good health, and she has to walk a long way. Don't come here in the future. Yu Hang didn't accept the chicken soup handed over by Xiaocao, thanked Zhao Han, and told Xiaocao and his brothers.

Xiaocao shook her head and said, "It's okay." On the way, I met Grandpa Zhang, who was delivering firewood to the town, and came over with his ox cart. This pot is borrowed from Zhen Yu Lou, you hurry up and drink the chicken soup. The chicken can't be eaten, so it's wrapped in oiled paper and won't spoil until the evening. And steamed buns, I just came out of the pot when I came, and I got you two ......"

Xiaocao saw that his brother was not doing well in the carpentry shop, so he made up his mind to send some food with logistics.

"I eat and drink here, and I get tired of eating steamed buns every day. Steamed buns, or do you want to take them home and eat them yourself? Don't send me food in the future, the food in the store is very good! ”

Yu Hang hid the fact that he nibbled on cold and hard bean flour cakes with cold water every day, and did not want his family to worry about him.

If Yu Xiaocao was really an eight-year-old child, he would definitely have been deceived by him. She sighed deeply in her heart, and pretended to be angry:

"What? Are you used to eating good things, so you disdain to eat the mixed noodles and steamed buns at home? No matter how good the food in the store is, it can't compare to the family's heart. Take it, or I'll be angry! ”

Yu Hang wanted to say something, but choked up. He silently held the cloth bag that his sister forced over, and the warmth of home flowed in his heart. I've been out as an apprentice for almost three months, and every time the guys in the shop and the master fight and scold; Whenever I am dizzy and dizzy, but I am doing the heaviest work; Whenever I feel sore at night and I can't hold it anymore...... He always thinks of his mother's gentle smile, his father's encouraging eyes, and the cute smiling faces of his younger siblings......

Family is the only belief he supports!

"Yu Hang! Dead outside? How long are you going to be lazy? The wood from the shop is coming, and you don't want to die and come in to work? Feed you slackers for nothing......"

The shopkeeper Zhang, the owner of the carpentry shop, poked his head out, looked at what the sister and brother were wearing, pursed his lips in disgust, and then yelled at Yu Hang viciously.

Yu Hang hugged the cloth bag in his hand tightly, and said with a forced smile: "Our shopkeeper is disgusting and kind, and he usually treats us well...... I'm going to go in and work, pay attention to safety when you go back, don't send me anything in the future, I'm fine......"

"Don't come in yet! If it's irrelevant, fuck me off, it's just a waste of food! The shopkeeper scolded impatiently, as if he was driving an animal that was called to come.

Yu Xiaocao looked at the back of his brother staggering in, and secretly made up his mind that he must take Yu Hang back as soon as possible. Apprentices, no freedom, no human rights, even self-esteem to be trampled on. Her family, she will protect it!

The little stone was holding the oil paper wrapped in sugar, it seemed that the sugar in his hand had lost its sweetness, the little guy seemed to be holding back some emotions, raised his head, looked at the second sister, and said:

"Second sister, if only there was a way to make people grow up quickly. If I grow up, I'll be like my dad who hunts a lot of prey and earns money to feed everyone. We won't be looked down upon, and my brother won't be bullied......"

Yu Xiaocao touched his little head, wanting to give him an approving smile, but let out a deep sigh.

"Sister, Brother Han, where are we going now?" The little stone walked down the street with his head down, and he had long lost the high-spirited interest he had come.

Zhao Han saw that the sister and brother were not in a good mood, so he thought about it and said, "It's still early, let's go and deliver fish to your uncle, let's just walk around the street." ”

The three of them quickly found the house that Yu Bo rented, and he went to the school and was not at home. Xiaocao refused the enthusiasm of her aunt Zhao, and pulled Zhao Han and her younger brother to start shopping.

The three streets of Tanggu Town, the main road is lined with restaurants and inns. Now the largest restaurants and inns are the property of the richest man Zhou family.

Some wealthy people with status, status, and money who came from the sea would stop in Tanggu Town to rest after coming ashore here. The streets are full of nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses, and it is not uncommon to see exquisite carriages following the girl's mother-in-law.

The sister and brother watched as they walked, but they feasted their eyes.

Xiao Shi carried the pastries bought by his second sister in one hand, and nibbled on a string of sugar gourds in the other, and his big black eyes seemed to be insufficient, and he felt that everything in the town was fresh.

"Huh? Second sister, is that Uncle Zhao and our father? Xiao Shi pointed to the bustling crowd in front of him with his hand holding the sugar gourd, and finally confirmed with two blink of eyes, "It's really Dad!" Second sister, let's hurry up and ......"

Yu Xiaocao grabbed his younger brother, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "What did you do in the past?" Let Dad know that we sold our prey, can we still save private money? If the silver goes into our milk's purse, we will have to starve and freeze in winter! ”

Xiao Shi looked at the pastries and sugar gourds in his hands, if the silver was confiscated by his grandmother, how could he still eat sweet and sour sugar gourds and sweet maltose?

"Second sister, what do you say?" Xiao Shi admires the second sister in his heart, and since the second sister fell on her head, the whole thing seems to be a different person.

With her, not only can she eat meat, but she will also earn money and dare to save money, even her grandmother does not dare to treat her. The second sister is generous, and she is willing to buy such expensive pastries for herself. He decided, and in the future, he will resolutely support all the decisions of the second sister, and he will not waver for thirty years!

Yu Xiaocao didn't expect that more than a dozen yuan of crude pastries and sugar gourds would buy his little brother. No wonder it's a snack!

She was pulling her little brother, pulling Zhao Han's sleeve and dodging into an alley. If she hadn't moved fast, she would have been caught by her own father.

"So?" Zhao Bufan was carrying a stag, turned his head and saw Brother Yu Hai looking behind him from time to time, and couldn't help asking.

Yu Hai's tall body was hung with several small prey. His brows furrowed slightly at this time, his mouth pursed into a line, and he said with a slight hesitation: "I just ...... I see grass and stones......"

"Your second daughter and boy? Impossible, right? One of them is frail, the other is only five years old, how can they walk dozens of miles to the town? Maybe the body shape is similar, are you mistaken? Zhao Bufan never expected that it was his own son, who took the two little guys to the town to sell prey.

The frail grass in his mouth was so bold that he could reach the sky, and after avoiding his father, he still walked around her unhurriedly.

【Master, master!】 I caught an aura, it's on your right, take me to see it! In his eagerness, Xiao Mending Tianshi forgot the oath he made in his heart to "not admit that Xiaocao is its master". This aura is quite strong, and if absorbed, it will be more useful than soaking in a bath for ten days.

Yu Xiaocao hurriedly looked at his right, isn't this a pharmacy? Could it be that this medicine shop still sells spiritual herbs and elixirs for cultivating the truth?

"Tong-Ren-Tang...... Second sister, you can recognize these words! "The little stone sugar gourd has been eaten, and the little face eats like a flower cat. He raised his smiling face, looking like he was begging for praise and caresses.

The little brother actually knows the words? This is certainly worthy of praise, Yu Xiaocao did not hesitate to praise the tone: "It is worthy of my younger brother Yu Xiaocao, who can actually read and write!" Tell my sister, where did you learn it? ”

Xiao Shi smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said triumphantly: "Second sister, the eldest brother has learned a lot of words from the uncle, and he has taught the three of us." I can read more than 200 words...... You broke your head, you shouldn't remember! ”

"Although I can't remember some things clearly, I still recognize these words." It turns out that the deity can also recognize a few words, which is very convenient and convenient.

Xiao Shi shook his head and said: "Second sister, if you want to know how to read, the three of us belong to you!" Uncle said that you may have the ability to remember. If you are a boy, the family will definitely provide you with education. ”

Seeing the envious tone in his mouth, Xiaocao touched his little head and said, "Our little stone is also very smart, and we can recognize so many words at the age of five. Don't worry, my sister has money in her hands, and she will send you to the school next year. You learn the word, come back and teach your sister again, it's the same! ”

Xiao Shi remembered that the rich young master gave the second sister a big ingot, which should be enough to pay for a year. Thinking that he was expected to study, the little guy smiled even more.

Zhao Han, who had been silently protecting them behind his sister and brother, saw Yu Xiaocao raise his feet and enter the pharmacy, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaocao, are you uncomfortable?" If you are sick, you must be treated, you must not delay, don't be afraid to spend money......"

You're sick! However, Yu Xiaocao was a little skeptical about the medical skills of the barefoot doctor in the village. This body, when she first crossed over, was dilapidated like that, don't leave any disease behind. Now that you have money in your hands, let the doctors in the city diagnose the pulse, and feel at ease if you are sick and cured.
