Chapter 70: Washing Dishes
Liang Xueyin was annoyed and ashamed, smashed him with a fist, and scolded unhappily: "Stupid! What are you laughing at? You can't be so sinister even if you laugh at me, can you? I hate people like you the most! Hum! Ignore you anymore. ”
"Okay, okay, don't be willful." Ke Yangui pulled her through the hall to the boss who was stir-frying in the back kitchen.
The people in the front yard ate very happily, and there was almost no decoration in the hall, even the dining table was a very ordinary wooden table, and the table had many defects, and it would sway from side to side. A room full of noisy conversations, the bad environment naturally can't be compared with a big restaurant like Diding, after all, the people they receive are different. The kitchen is smaller than the hall, but the cleanliness is much higher than that of the hall. As soon as Liang Xueyin came in, she saw that the husband and wife had been busy, and the sweat on their heads was flowing down one row after another. The wife wisely took a towel to wipe her husband's sweat. Both of them had happy and sweet smiles on their faces.
As soon as the woman saw Ke Yan returning, she was immediately enthusiastic, put down the work in her hand and hurriedly ran to greet him: "The wild goose is back~ Great, Aunt Huang hasn't seen you for a long time, hey, I miss me." ”
Liang Xueyin saw that this so-called Aunt Huang was holding Ke Yangui's hand and hugging and hugging, which was very kind.
"Aunt Huang, I miss you too." Yan Guitong is so kind to her.
Since Liang Xueyin came here, it was the first time she had seen him with such a kind appearance, usually cold, or occasionally smiling.
"Thanks to Yangui, who thought of the way to increase the money and settle the day, our business in this small place can get better and better! You are Aunt Huang's great fortune! The woman caressed Ke Yangui's face, the hands were dark and rough, and so was the face.
"I still want to help Aunt Huang this time. My mother has recovered and is now much better than before. I want to earn more money for my mother and her to have a better life. Ke Yangui smiled very softly and glanced at Liang Xueyin.
The woman's heart blossomed: "Good! Good! Aunt Huang likes it! Go ahead, you're so young, and you're smart and capable, and you'll definitely be able to give your mother a better one in the future! Aunt Huang believes in you! The woman glanced at the man and was full of admiration for Ke Yangui.
"Yan Gui is really becoming more sensible day by day! Okay, Uncle Huang likes it too! You go and do it, Uncle Huang will give you more money! The middle-aged man laughed and said as he shook the pot. The fire was so high that it even overflowed the pot, and after a while it went down again.
"No need. Uncle Huang knows that I never like to take money other than pay. Haha, Uncle Huang is still just as good! Uncle Huang and sister-in-law Huang, I went to work, and there must be a lot of bowls piled up in the back. Ke Yangui didn't talk to them much, waved his hand to reject their high enthusiasm, and pulled Liang Xueyin to the dishwashing sink behind the house.
Liang Xueyin's eyes were filled with dirty bowls that were about to pile up into a mountain. But there isn't much food wasted in these bowls. The piles of things that needed to be washed were almost the same as the store they had been to the first time.
Ke Yangui rolled up her sleeves without saying a word, and then habitually picked up the dirty rag dripping with water next to her and washed it in the basin, wrung it out and handed it to her, pointing to the dirty buckets next to her and saying, "Let's work." ”
At this moment, through the small door at the back, a woman with a bucket of swill, about twenty years old, with rough yellow hair, dry cheeks with many freckles, and a thin face. She wore a whitish yellow apron around her waist, and a pair of shoes with holes in her feet, revealing her big toes.
The woman smiled: "Yo! The geese are back! It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”
She put down the bucket of swill, stood up with her waist propped up, rubbed her hands back and forth on her apron, and then strode towards Ke Yanhui, and continued: "The last time I saw you was half a year ago! How's your mother? Better, isn't it? Alas! Heaven is unfair, it's a pity that you kid is so smart and sensible, and you weren't born in a rich and noble family! But I believe that Yangui can become a useful person no matter where he is, right? Ha ha! ”
Liang Xueyin saw that Ke Yangui's eyes were a little reflective by the sun.
"Sister Yuhua, why are you still here?" Ke Yangui asked distressedly, his tone slightly choked.
"I, alas," Yuhua exhaled helplessly, her eyes full of bitterness. She shook her head, "Oh, it's fine! Sister Yuhua's life is hard! Anything can survive! ”
At this time, the tears in Ke Yangui's eyes had become more and more cloudy, and many words had accumulated in his throat and eyes, but he didn't say a word. Even those eyes looked at her helplessly.
Two people with the same suffering looked at each other, and with the same tragic fate, in the end, Ke Yangui survived.
"Oh, whose lady is this? It's so pretty! Yuhua also had tears in her eyes, she first withdrew her gaze, and turned to look at Liang Xueyin happily.
"How can my sister tell which lady I am?" Liang Xueyin carefully looked at her clothes, and couldn't see any difference from them, so she asked her with a twisted eyebrow.
"Hey, my sister has been watching people for more than ten years, can you still not understand this? Whose lady is it? It's a fate that we can meet you! Good! When the work is done, my sister will buy you candied fruit to eat! Yuhua subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch Liang Xueyin's hair, and saw that her face was really clean and her hands were really rough, so she stopped in the air again, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Seeing this, Ke Yangui took her hand and touched it on his face, and said with a simple smile: "No, my sister loves Yangui the most, and I know that Yangui likes candied fruit the most." But now that my mother has recovered, she can eat candied fruit, and she doesn't need to buy it for my sister. ”
"Oh, the goose returns, it's really well-behaved. Alright, it's time to get to work! I went outside to clean up the table. Yuhua took this opportunity to avoid the sight of Yan Gui, picked up the empty basin next to him and went to the hall.
Liang Xueyin secretly stretched out her sleeves to wipe her tears without taking three steps behind their backs, and couldn't help but feel sad for this sincere emotion. turned around and asked Ke Yangui: "What's wrong with her family?" ”
Ke Yangui also secretly turned around to wipe away his tears, and when he turned around, his face was full of spring breeze: "Sister Yuhua has a sick husband and young children at home. The husband is weak and can't do heavy work, the child has a bad heart, and both of them need to take medicine every month. Originally, she had her mother-in-law who washed dishes here with her, but unfortunately passed away a few years ago. In the past, my mother-in-law was very kind to me, and she always loved to give me candy to eat. Now Sister Yuhua's family is the only one left who can work. She has been working tiring all year round, and she is not in good health. ”
Liang Xueyin didn't speak, and suddenly became sad.
Ke Yangui was also silent.
After a long time, Ke Yangui finally came to work and pulled her along.
She stole a glance at the petite figure busy in the hall, and felt her heart throb suddenly.
