Chapter 24: Hire a mercenary
In the chat, I learned that these two children are actually quite young.
The eldest is fourteen years old, and the younger is twelve.
It's just that I've been starving for a long time and seems to be a little younger than my peers.
The elder brother's name is Zhou Heihu, and the younger brother's name is Zhou Heiniu.
Eight years ago, my father died in an accident.
After the mother left home with the package, she never came back.
Four years after their grandmother dragged them, they also died of illness one after another.
Relatives on both sides of the family refused to allow them to come to the door.
The brothers begged for food from hundreds of families in the village, picked up some leftover grain from other families' fields, picked up some old clothes to wear, and lived until now.
The home of the two is not far from her house, only two families apart.
You can hear it shouting loudly.
Lin Xirou thought for a while and said, "If you are free and want to help, I will still give you money." ”
The right to hire two small workers.
Besides, there is a male patient in the family, and the man has to take care of him when he goes to the thatched house to bathe.
She was embarrassed to go to Tian's house, which was far away, to find Tian Liang, these two children lived close, and it was most suitable to ask them for help.
The brothers were very happy and said they were willing to help.
When Li Shen and the others were carried back to the house with chairs, the brothers did not charge.
After the house was cleaned up, the next step was to buy some groceries.
First of all, bedding, quilts, sheets, those.
Buy less first, and wait for the market day to buy some new ones.
The utensils in the kitchen are only large items, such as iron pots, small stoves, stoves, and jar water tanks.
Lack of small pieces, such as dishes, chopsticks and spatulas are not available.
Not to mention eating, not a single grain of rice.
Lin Xirou pushed the cart, carried the change, and walked to the village again.
Lin Xirou picked the people of the big house to inquire.
Finally, there was a family that sold her extra quilts and sheets.
But the price is not cheap.
One cover, one pad, two quilts and sheets, it cost her four hundred and fifty yuan.
This is obviously not enough for a bed cover.
Lin Xirou asked other families again, how many can be sold, but the people in the village are not rich, and no one has any surplus.
Lin Xirou sighed.
Then reluctantly make it difficult and squeeze in a bed with that little eunuch.
After buying a quilt, Lin Xirou went to another person's house and bought an old spatula and a few catties of brown rice, half a catty of bacon, a few bowls and chopsticks, and half a catty of salt.
Living materials are very scarce, and it seems that we must go to the market tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to buy more.
Back home.
Lin Xirou first moved the quilt into the bedroom, and then moved the small pieces to the kitchen.
The dishes and chopsticks were old, and she took disinfectant water from the space and disinfected them.
"Mrs. Lin."
"Hey." Lin Xirou walked to the kitchen door.
I saw Zhou Heihu carrying a little beast and calling her with a grin.
Zhou Heiniu stood behind his brother and smiled shyly.
"Oh, Black Tiger and Black Bull, my family doesn't have anything to help with at this time." Mainly, she can't afford to pay now.
That little change should be saved for urgent use.
"Can you help?" Zhou Heihu pointed to his hand, "We picked up a hare, but my pot is broken and can't be burned." ”
Lin Xirou looked at her small kitchen.
The kitchen is small but well stocked.
"Okay, you can leave it to me, but my house is short of firewood, so you go and collect some firewood." Lin Xirou readily agreed.
"Hey." Zhou Heihu put the hare on the ground and ran away happily with his younger brother.
Lin Xirou rolled up her sleeves, sharpened her kitchen knife, and began to slaughter the hare.
The hare was still hot, and it had not been long since it died.
The forehead broke.
Obviously, it was another stupid rabbit who only looked behind him and didn't look at the tree in front of him, and the cheap little brothers picked it up.
