Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gifted

"No one has taught, I didn't like to run around when I was a child, I like to squat on the ground to observe small animals and flowers and plants, and I also like to play mud and pinch things alone, and over time I will imitate those things, pinch some small clay figures out, and then I met a folk artist, I saw him carve walnuts, and the craftsmanship was superb, I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he said that he had no home all over the world and refused to accept me, only gave me a carving knife and this little walnut, I will not be too difficult to carve gadgets, so I can only use my brain on the wood, Put something in front of my eyes, and my hand will automatically carve out what I see. ”

Du Yiming recalled the process of learning carving, and took out the walnut hidden in his arms, which was a very delicate small ship, in which there were many villains drinking tea and listening to the play, Yin Yi took it over and observed it, it was indeed very exquisite, and it was hidden in the world, this sentence was really right, there were many folk masters.

"Oh, then this is talent, you are such a genius, you are still playing with your friends at this age, why do you come out and sell these gadgets by yourself?"

Yin Yi was very pleased, she had discovered a little genius. But why did he come out to sell these things, Yin Yi guessed that something must have happened at home.

"Dad broke his leg when he went up the mountain to carry stones, fell ill on the bed, my mother weaved day and night, to feed the family, I also have a five-year-old sister, my mother wants to send her to a relative's house in exchange for money for my father's treatment, I don't agree, so I came out to try to earn some silver taels to subsidize the family, reduce some burden, and let my mother not send my sister away."

Du Yiming remembered the conversation between his mother and his relatives that day, and he felt uncomfortable.

"So that's the case, and it's also forced by life, Yiming, if I say that I'm giving you a job now, so that you can continue to play your carving, and then you can make ten times more money than selling these, would you be willing?"

Yin Yi went straight to the point, not only to find a talent, but also to save a family that was about to be separated, these gadgets were worth buying.

"Is there really such a job? Naturally, I would like to. However, my mother is going to send my sister away tomorrow, what should I do, Childe, can you go and talk to my mother, tell her that I can earn money in the future, don't let her send my sister away. ”

Du Yiming's eyes were full of hope, at this moment he had already regarded Yin Yi as his savior, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he was ecstatic in his heart, and he didn't think about what to do if Yin Yi was a liar.

"Then let's go now, in the face of the separation of flesh and blood, I believe that your mother will be more uncomfortable than you. Your mother is a great woman, and you are also a sensible child, I helped with this favor, Yiming, lead the way. ”

Yin Yi rubbed her numb legs that had been squatting for a long time, she decided to answer this request for help, and confirmed her eyes with Zhanfeng and Helian Dongdong, and both of them expressed no objection.

"Thank you, Eun-gong!"

Du Yiming took out the bamboo basket behind him, packed up the things on the ground, and walked home with Yin Yi and the others.

"Mother, I'm back!"

Du Yiming took Yin Yi to a dilapidated thatched house in the east of the city, the yard was very clean and tidy, drying corn and some bacon, he excitedly pushed open the door, beckoned Yin Yi and others to sit down in the hall, and began to call his mother to the inner room.

"Yiming, you're back, who are these?"

A plainly dressed woman came out of the back room, still holding the embroidered shoes in her hand, and her eyes were full of unease when she saw Yin Yi and the others following behind her son.

"Hello Yiming Niang, I'm Yin Yi, that's the case, I plan to open a restaurant, and then lack a carving master, I just met Yiming on the street, and found that he is a manufacturable material, so I want to hire her as my carving chef, give him five or two months of money every month, what do you think?"

Yin Yi stepped forward with a smile and began to explain the ins and outs of the future.

"Five taels? You're not lying to me! ”

The woman was so frightened that the shoes on her hands almost fell, she only knew that the monthly money of an ordinary family was already a good salary, and the maid of a large family was only a monthly salary of two taels, and this person actually said that he wanted to hire a son for five taels a month, which is simply outrageous! How dare she believe it.

"Yiming Niang, you are laughing, Zhanfeng, write a contract to Du Yiming now, and pay Yiming two months' monthly money first, so that he can treat his father first. And this contract is signed once a year, and the monthly salary will increase according to his performance, Yiming has a lot of autonomy, and if he wants to leave after a year, I will never stop him. ”

Yin Yi didn't say much, and came directly to the actual one.

"Is there any pen and ink?"

Zhan Feng put the saber aside, and took out the contract template that Yin Yi gave him from his arms, which he had with him for the past few days, so that he could help Yin Yi sign employees at any time.

"Yes, I'll get it."

Du Yiming was full of excitement, he hurriedly ran into the back room and took out a brush and an inkstone.

Zhan Feng grinded some ink with tea, then filled in his name, the amount of monthly money and the time limit, in duplicate, and took out the red ink, which was made by Yin Yi with rouge and lard, Yin Yi walked over and pressed the handprint on the two pieces of paper first.

Du Yiming looked at the contract, and then handed it to his mother.

"This, is this true? How is this possible? ”

Du Yiming's mother looked at her son's name and the amount of monthly salary on the contract, and she was also very grateful, she also saw it at this time, it must be this little boy who sympathizes with their family's situation, so he is so compassionate.

"Mother, it's true, I'll sign and press my fingerprint now, I can earn money to subsidize the family, don't send my sister away."

Du Yiming hurriedly walked to the table, signed his name and pressed his handprint.

Zhan Feng gave one of them to Du Yiming, put the other away, and took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his sleeve and put it in Du Yiming's hand.

"Mother, we can treat Daddy!"

Du Yiming put the silver in his mother's hand and looked at Yin Yi with a grateful face.

"Mother, brother, Chun'er is hungry!"

A milky female doll's voice came from the room, and then a small pink ball slowly walked into the hall, and the cute appearance made Yin Yi happy.

"Chun'er, you're awake, come here, these are all my brother's friends."

Du Yiming hurriedly went over and took Chun'er's hand and led her to Yin Yi, and his mother also rubbed Chun'er's hair with a look of pity.

"Wow, what a cute baby! Dongdong, you see, there is finally a child who is cuter than you! ”

Yin Yi used to squat down and look at the little girl at eye level, looking at her big bulging eyes, and the mother's love was overflowing at the moment.

"You talk nonsense, how can I be cute? Uh, well, this little thing, I admit it's cuter than me, but it's certainly not as cute as I was when I was a kid. Hum. ”

Helian Dongdong originally wanted to show off his appearance and status is unshakable, but he stepped forward carefully to take a look at the little girl's face, and then held back his words, this female doll is indeed cute. The stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat made Du Yiming and Yin Yidu laugh.

"Big brother, what are you looking at Chun'er doing, is there something on Chun'er's face?"

Chun'er was not afraid of people at all, but looked at Yin Yi blinking her eyes, her face full of cuteness.

"Because Chun'er is good-looking, the big brother likes it very much, so I want to see Chun'er's big eyes, how it is so beautiful!"

Yin Yi gently pinched Chun'er's face, it was really baby-like and smooth, and it felt very good.

"Yiming, Chun'er, kneel down with your mother and thank this kind son together."

Du Yiming's mother suddenly grabbed Du Yiming and Chun'er, and she slowly knelt on the ground, saying "thank you" in her mouth. was so frightened that Yin Yi almost knelt down, she pulled up the mother, and then felt quite uncomfortable.

"Big brother, thank you, Chun'er said hello, then you are a good person!"

Chun'er broke the deadlock with an innocent face, making everyone giggle.

"What about Yiming's father, is he feeling better?"

Yin Yi suddenly remembered that there was another member of the family, and she looked at the woman in front of her who had gray hair, and suddenly regretted bringing up this topic.

"The child's father is still asleep, since the illness, his spirit has collapsed, no matter how much he is told, he always sleeps to escape from reality. The wound will also become inflamed from time to time, and the doctor said that if you don't treat the leg well, it will be useless! ”

Du Yiming's mother thought of her husband's decadent appearance and began to wipe away her tears silently, she was afraid that it would affect the two children, so she quickly wiped away the tears.

"Daddy's leg is injured, and he's recuperating while sleeping, we can't be loud~"

Chun'er doesn't know anything, she doesn't know how complicated and difficult the world of adults is, she just thinks that her father is resting, this childlike childlike language makes everyone feel a lot more relaxed, and the atmosphere is not so depressing.

"Things will always develop in a better direction little by little, Yiming, find time to explain your expectations to your father, people, who hasn't encountered some difficulties, everything will go well."

Yin Yi looked at the sky, it was about to be Shen Shi, she might have to go to Tiange Fang to discuss the opening of the business with Hu Wuniang, so she decided to leave.

"Thank you, Yin Gongzi, I understand."

Du Yiming held Chun'er in his arms, his sister's eyes were still bulging back and forth between several adults, she couldn't understand their words, so she could only pull her brother's hair and fiddle, Du Yiming looked at Chun'er's innocent face, and secretly made up his mind, he cherished the opportunity to turn around now.

"Yiming, you come with me, first go and familiarize yourself with the environment of the store, if you want to regret it then, there is still a chance. As for Chun'er, Yiming Niang, I think you still don't want to send her away, such a lovely girl, how can you be willing to give it up, you still have to raise it yourself. The most important thing now is to quickly find a doctor to help Yiming's father treat the disease, and I wish you a happy family as soon as possible! I still have some things in the store to say goodbye first, Chun'er, big brother is leaving, I'll see you next time! ”

Yin Yi drank the hot tea that Du Yiming poured for her, then tidied up her clothes, pinched Chun'er's little face, and planned to leave.
