Chapter 54: Thoughts
Out of the corner of his eye, he just caught a glimpse of Shen Lexi, who was a big silver ingot: "......" gasped.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the boy as if she were hell.
The young man looked at her, his expression was calm, and he was innocent and dazed, and he had no consciousness of doing anything wrong.
Shen Lexi: What can I do with "......"?
As for the things provided by the middle-aged woman, let alone fifty taels, one tael is more than enough.
This kid has no concept of money, or is she playing with her silver as a stone??
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman was startled when she saw that she had given such a large ingot of silver, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I can't do so much...... It's all old clothes worn by my little grandson, how can it be worth so much money......"
"Clothes are not valuable, food is precious." The young man's dull voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the middle-aged woman's excuse.
The middle-aged woman was stunned and said, "What...... What? Apparently not quite understanding what he meant, he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to...... Buy some food from me? ”
But I don't sell food at home.
The middle-aged woman wondered.
Shen Lexi, who was still closing his eyes and feeling sorry for the silver on the side, suddenly realized that the spiritual platform suddenly dawned, and he quickly opened his eyes and said, "Yes!" Clothes aren't worth much, but food is precious! ”
The money was handed out, and whether it was the middle-aged woman or the young daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both warm-hearted and good people, and Shen Lexi naturally didn't want to ask for the silver that had been stuffed into someone's hands again.
It's best to think about reducing the next loss.
And Erniu's words just reminded her and gave her ideas.
Shen Lexi looked at the middle-aged woman with a blank face, and said seriously and earnestly: "Auntie, don't hide it, I just want to find a nurse for this doll, I just saw that your daughter-in-law has plenty of milk, and considering that your grandson is still young, he can't eat so much, it's a pity to shed it in vain, so you see, can I ask your daughter-in-law to help feed this doll some milk?" It doesn't take long, so it's ...... Three months. ”
After three months, we were able to wean.
Her gaze fell on the silver ingot in the woman's hand, and she said, "So the rest of the money, even if I pay your daughter-in-law's wages in advance." Auntie, do you think this is feasible? ”
Can a middle-aged woman say no?
Definitely not!
Thinking that she is such a big ready-to-wear shop, fortunately she has worked hard for more than half a year, and the net profit is only about 100 taels!
The daughter-in-law can earn so much by feeding the doll every day...... It's no different from pie in the sky!
It just so happened that the young daughter-in-law also came out, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay!" No problem! I do! By the way, madam, if you trust me, you might as well put the children here for the time being, anyway, I have nothing to do every day, so I will leave the house to take care of the dolls. ”
Fifty taels of silver, not to mention raising the doll for three months, it is enough to raise it for three years.
The young daughter-in-law is a sincere person, and she is afraid that Shen Lexi will suffer.
Her mother-in-law was the same, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, two dolls are raised together, and they just happen to have a companion." Although my conditions here are not very good, they are better than the broken temple that leaks wind and rain. ”
In fact, this is another thing that Shen Lexi is worried about - for such a young child, sleeping on the street is not a matter after all. If she hadn't met the brother and sister, it would have been fine, since she had met ...... I really can't sit idly by.
It's just that......
But if she is not one of them, she still has to consult her brother's opinion.
Thinking so in her heart, she had already turned her head to look at the little doll's brother, and discussed with him: "My sister is too young, and it will be very difficult for you to take care of your sister alone, why don't we foster my sister in this aunt's house first, and when my sister can be weaned, we will take her back, do you think this is good?" ”
The little doll's brother pursed his lips, looked at the sweet sister sleeping in the swaddling clothes, and looked reluctant, for a long time, Fang plucked up the courage of the boss, and said: "Then I...... I'll stay too, okay? ”
He is a very smart child, after saying this, his eyes began to shoot around the shop, and he saw a sack with cloth in the corner, he hurriedly ran over, grabbed the corner of the sack with both hands, "hey", and immediately lifted the sack, threw it on his back, and walked steadily several times in front of everyone, and then carried the sack back to the corner of the wall and put it away.
Then he walked up to the middle-aged woman and said quickly: "Auntie, don't look at me small, I'm thin, but I have a lot of strength, when I was in the countryside before, I often helped my mother cut pigweed, chop wood, and carry firewood...... I also do laundry, roll noodles ......"
He took out the things he knew one by one and said that he tried his best to sell himself, and finally, looking at the middle-aged woman, his face was full of begging and expectation.
The young daughter-in-law was distressed when she heard this, pulled the corner of her mother-in-law's clothes, and said, "Mother, or ...... Let's just let him stay with him......"
"You still need to say it." The middle-aged woman interrupted her daughter-in-law's words and said angrily, "Is your mother such a mean person? ”
The young daughter-in-law grinned embarrassedly and said no.
Shen Lexi didn't expect that the problem of the brother and sister would be solved so smoothly, and his heart was relaxed.
Even looking at Erniu is much more pleasing to the eye - fortunately, this kid reminded her just now, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of this coming.
Coming out of the ready-to-wear shop, she glanced at Erniu and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that our Erniu brother not only has the ability to beat bad people, but also has a nine-trick exquisite heart...... Actually, you just did it on purpose, right? deliberately took such a large ingot of silver out, in fact, I have long had the purpose of helping the brother and sister find a place to return, am I right? ”
His mind was pierced, but the young man was not embarrassed at all, and nodded honestly: "Hmm." ”
Shen Lexi: "......"
Originally, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect it to become a prophecy.
Brother Erniu was so frank, Shen Lexi suddenly didn't know how to answer. It was Huowa who opened his mouth first - that is, the little doll's brother.
After arranging his sister, the child's serious little face finally had the liveliness that a child of his age should have, and said: "Sister Xi, you don't know, Brother Erniu said, in fact, you originally wanted to take me and my sister home, but if you do this, it will cause you trouble, so Brother Erniu asked me at the beginning if I would like to stay in the ready-to-wear shop, I said yes, and he taught me how to do it......"
Shen Lexi, who listened to it, was surprised for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Erniu, and looked at it as a stuffy gourd with three sticks that couldn't make a sound, but he didn't expect that his mind was more alive than anything else.
As if reading her heart, Erniu suddenly asked: "If I hadn't reminded you just now to entrust the child to the care of that pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, do you really plan to take the child home to take care of?" ”
