Chapter Seventy-Two: The Song Boat Plays the Piano

It's still the same street as before, and Ke Rong is sitting under a tree selling peach blossom cakes. Today's business is also equally difficult to do, from Liang Xueming and the others seeing Ke Rong to approaching her, no one has been interested in peach blossom cakes.

"Aunt Ke!" Liang Xueming waved his hand and ran over happily, surrounded Ke Rong and asked, "How is Aunt Ke's business today?" What are we going to eat for lunch? ”

Ke Rong touched her face lovingly, and after thinking carefully, he said, "What do we Xue Ming want to eat?" ”

"Hmm~" Her eyes rolled and her smile became brighter, "Xue Ming doesn't have anything to eat, what does Aunt Ke want to eat?" ”

Ke Yangui lifted the cloth and saw that there were still so many peach blossom cakes, and saw that both of them were happy, so he came over and proposed: "Mother, it's better for us to eat peach blossom crisps at noon, business has not been good recently, so we can save some." Wait until the days get better? ”

Liang Xueming's smile slowly disappeared, and he solemnly patted Ke Yangui's shoulder: "I agree." ”

Ke Rong saw that she had answered, and he couldn't refuse.

So the three of them sat under the tree and ate peach blossom crisp, the peach blossom crisp was sweet, and they would get tired of eating too much. None of the three had enough to eat, but they all said they were full. Ke Yangui saw that the two of them looked the same forbearing, and secretly took the money to the steamed bun shop to buy six vegetable steamed buns. Look in your pocket again, there are only one or two left. There are still many days to live, and if you only buy shortbread to survive, I am afraid that you will starve to death and have to find another way to make a living.

Calculating that Ke Rong should have about ten taels there, if you subtract the recent expenses, it is estimated that there is not much left. The Murong family doesn't know when they will make a move in Duhua Township, and it will cost a lot of silver taels to move at that time. You'll have to save up the money as soon as possible. The herbs that Liang Xueming gave him before could be worth a lot of money, but after all, they were all stolen things, and if they were sold, they might be caught by the Xin family, so it was not a matter of money or not.

When Ke Yan returned, he saw Liang Xueming sleeping on Ke Rong's legs, snoring and feeling uncomfortable.

Ke Rong waved his hand at him, motioning for him to be quieter, but he was ruthless and came up and kicked her. Throw the bun in her arms. Liang Xueming turned over, his eyes lit up when he smelled the steamed buns.

"Mother, you can eat some more, you can't go hungry at the beginning of your serious illness. Later, I'll bring peach blossom cakes to sell them, maybe business will be better. Ke Yangui said softly while taking out the bun and handing it to her.

Ke Rong sighed helplessly when he saw Liang Xueming caressing the two worthless buns, and nodded.

"Then mother, I'll go. It's just lunchtime, so it's estimated that there will be some business. Ke Yangui smiled at her, put the bun in his pocket, packed some peach blossom cakes and left.

"You wait for me, I'll go too." Liang Xueming hurriedly put the bun in his pocket and beckoned to him, ran a few steps and turned back to Ke Rong and said, "Aunt Ke, I'll go first." ”

Ke Yangui didn't wait for her, she walked dozens of meters away, she ran for a while to keep up, and then turned around and couldn't see Ke Rong's figure.

She rubbed Ke Yangui's clothes with her shoulders and discussed: "I still have some things, you go sell them first, and see you at home." She turned around and left.

Ke Yangui grabbed her by the collar and asked with a frown, "Why are you going?" ”

"I went to see the brother of the boy who stole the money that day, he was seriously ill and didn't go to see it for almost a day, I don't know what happened." Liang Xueming said worriedly.

Only then did he let go and explained: "Be careful, the people there are not very sincere." ”

"It's fine. Even if he lied to me, he would grow wiser after eating a trench. Liang Xueming said with a smile.

Her smile gave him a lot of comfort, and she continued, "Go ahead." Come back early. Be careful when washing the dishes and stop doing stupid things. If you make another mistake, be careful to be fired. No store wants to accept a clerk who repeats mistakes. ”

"Got it---" Liang Xueming laughed, dragged out the tail note for a long time, stuck out his tongue mischievously, and then turned his head and ran away quickly.

Ke Yangui snickered at her behind her back.

The road to Huayun Village she still remembers, there was no one here when she arrived. I don't know what to do, I'm so diligent. Seeing that although others live very poorly, they are better than thatched piles, and suddenly have more sympathy for these two brothers.

Lift the thatch, and both of them are here. Liang Xueming handed them the buns in his pocket and said distressedly, "You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?" Eat it. ”

Xiangxiang nodded to her gratefully, took the bun to his brother, and whispered, "Brother, eat quickly." ”

"Thank you, brother, thank you, sister." The lying boy was still pale and spoke weakly.

Liang Xueming suddenly felt very satisfied in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Eat it. She pulled Xiangxiang out of the thatch, looked at the empty outside, and asked, "How is your brother?" Have you seen a doctor? ”

Xiangxiang looked embarrassed and replied hesitantly: "No, I didn't go." ”

"Why don't you go?" She asked anxiously.

"I don't have enough money." Xiangxiang said embarrassedly.

"Alas!" Liang Xueming sighed loudly, "You wait, I'll go and earn money for you." She turned around angrily and walked away.

On the way to the hotel, her stomach couldn't help but scream. I touched it with my hand and didn't take it seriously.

On the first day of work, I dropped a pot of plates, and if I was not careful, I didn't want to make money, and I had to pay off my debts all the time.

Yuhua was already working when she arrived. Sweep the ground outside the door with a broom.

"My sister is really diligent, she arrived so early." Liang Xueming praised.

Yuhua scratched her head and said with a smile: "People give me wages and food, of course I have to work hard." ”

She said again and again: "My sister is right. ”

I ran to the backyard to see that the bowls had been brushed and neatly placed on the table. The ground in the backyard was also brushed. A sense of admiration rose in my heart.

"My sister works so fast. So what should I do? Liang Xueming came out and asked.

"Just sit and rest for a while. All you earn is the money to wash the dishes, and now you don't have a business, you don't have any bowls to wash, you just sit. The rest is mine. Yuhua helped her to sit down, and then went to sweep the floor herself.

"That won't work. How can I just watch my sister work. I'll help my sister with me. Liang Xueming went to snatch the broom in her hand as she spoke, but she avoided her.

Yuhua shirked: "No." My sister has to do things well with this money, which is because the boss trusts me. If you're bored, go outside. ”

She had no choice but to accept the offer.

Ben had the intention of coming out to make money, but he didn't think about it and there was no money to make. Xiangxiang is still waiting for her to go back and take his brother to the sick. That's not good.

Walking on the street, I saw that everyone had their own things to do, but she was idle. There is very little work she can do here, she doesn't have many advantages as a person, she can play the piano, write poems, practice martial arts, cook some home-cooked food, and she can order, but she is not good at learning.

When she was at home, she didn't have to do anything by herself, so she couldn't do any work.

She deliberately stopped longer as she passed the cathole. Looking from the outside in, the inside is really luxurious. There were a lot of people in the songkeeping, singing and dancing, and there was a curtain on the second floor, and someone was playing the piano inside. She had an idea and went in to investigate.

The layout here is somewhat similar to Meng Xiao's place, but it is much more lively than that. Most of the people who come and go in the store are women.

Liang Xueming grabbed a woman who was dressed very gorgeously and asked in a low voice, "Hello, are you recruiting people here?" ”

The woman turned her head and looked left and right and didn't find anyone, Liang Xueming raised her hand and jumped, and the woman saw her.

I couldn't help laughing when I found that it was a little girl who spoke, and I held her in my arms and asked softly, "Little girl, are you here to find a job?" What can you do? ”
