Chapter VII

The end of the year is approaching, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The north wind was howling and accompanied by falling snowflakes at any time, Jun Moxian pulled his younger brother to walk on the street, exhaling from time to time with his mouth into his hand. The weather is really cold, and it is not easy to pick up the rags, and the time for picking up garbage outside has been greatly reduced. Mo Chou's resistance is poor, and he doesn't dare to take him all the time outside, and he can't help but take him, and let Mo Chou be alone at home, so he has been hanging around outside recently and going home to build a fire to keep warm.

Although this kind of life is leisurely and comfortable, I have also been rested. But there is no financial source, which makes Jun Mo worry very frightened. Just when Jun Mo was scratching his ears and cheeks and looking for a way to make a living, Granny Yang helped him solve the problem.

Granny Yang planted a lot of vegetables, but the weather was too cold and her old age and poor health, so she entrusted Jun Moxian to help her pick and sell vegetables and give Jun Moxian wages. Later, she found out that Jun Moxian had a set of vegetables to sell by herself, and directly sold the vegetables to Jun Moyou at a low price and asked Jun Moyou to sell them by herself.

Jun Mo was embarrassed to be so cheap, and the old man didn't give him a chance to refuse, and said bluntly: "You help me cut the vegetables from the field to pay the wages, and I didn't pay you the wages, so the price of the vegetables should be lower, otherwise the old woman and I will be uneasy." "Jun Mo is not worried about the old man, he can only come according to the old man's temperament, but every day after selling vegetables, he will buy some fruit and send it to the old man.

Jun Moxian learned a lot of things when he was selling vegetables, and learned to settle accounts and recognize the scale. He also knows how to grasp people's hearts, and if he is in a hurry, he will quote the price a little lower when he has something. The kind that looks like a mouthful, he will keep boiling with others, and the poor person will give others more, this is Granny Yang's love, and he also hopes to pass it on in his own way. Selling vegetables, life is better, his skin is thicker, and his speech is gradually more organized, Jun Mo worries about the changes in himself, which makes him very happy. I feel that I have grown up a little more, and I am one step closer to curing Mo Chou.

On the way back from Granny Yang's house, the two brothers were stepping on each other's shadows along the street lamp, having a lot of fun. Jun Mo is in a good mood, because all the dishes today have been sold and the price is still very good. He touched his brother's head and said, "What do you want to eat, my brother has made a lot of money?" Lin Mochou slurred: "Chicken, chicken." The saliva flowed out again, Jun Moxian wiped the saliva from the corner of his brother's mouth, his eyes bent into two crescents, and he planned today's dinner in his heart.

Just when Jun Mo was planning to sell vegetables tomorrow in his head, the road in front of him was blocked by a few uninvited guests. As soon as Jun Moxian saw them, he knew that there was nothing good, so he hurriedly pulled his younger brother and prepared to escape, but he knew that the way back was also blocked. The first person spoke: "Little beggar, I have been observing you for several days, and I know that you have made a lot of money selling vegetables, and we don't have much money in our hands today. This kind of battle Jun Mo Wei has long been accustomed to being bullied in the days when he is wandering, so he didn't resist, it was useless to resist, there was no room for resistance at all, so he honestly handed over the money in his arms to others. The leader was very satisfied with Jun Mo's attitude and said, "In the future, I will pay the protection fee here at this time every day." Jun Mo is worried about the only promise. The group took the money and let the brothers go, and the two left whistling.

The money was robbed, and Jun Moxian left cautiously with his younger brother. When he arrived at the house in despair, and after making sure that no one was following, he took off his shoes and took out the money inside. After being robbed a lot, he understood the truth that he couldn't put a box of eggs in the same basket. Although he was robbed of some money, he still has enough money in his hand to meet his own food and clothing.

At night, Jun Mo thought and thought, he wanted to leave, although he was very reluctant to leave here. But a strong sense of crisis lingered in his heart, since he had been targeted by others, he would inevitably become someone else's money in the future. If you don't want to be bullied all the time, there are only a few options. First, join them. But if you want Jun Moxian to become a bully and a weak person who harms the villagers, this makes him more uncomfortable than killing him. Second, resist. But Jun Mo was worried that this small body was not enough for others to stuff their teeth, so he didn't dare to think about this idea. The third can only leave, after all, nothing will happen if you leave, if you continue, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be unable to resist that day, and you can live by then, so what should you do.

Thinking of this, Jun Moxian made up his mind to say goodbye to Granny Yang early tomorrow morning and leave. Looking at the stool placed in the corner, Jun Mo was secretly glad that he had more leisure time during this time, otherwise this stool would really not be able to do well. Jun Moxian looked at Mo Chou who had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but feel guilty, his life was only a little stable, and he was going to take him around again. sighed, hugged regrets, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Jun Moxian got up early in the morning, packed up his things with his younger brother, and Jun Moxian took the stool to Granny Yang's house. Jun Moxian knocked on the door for a long time before a response came, the door opened, Jun Moxian looked at Granny Yang's complexion was surprisingly poor, her whole face was gray, and her voice was also vague, seeing Granny Yang's appearance frightened Lin Moxian.

Hurriedly helped Granny Yang in, Granny Yang lay on the bed and said: "People are useless when they are old, and they can't stand it if they are infected with a little cold, they are old." Jun Mo suppressed the sadness in his heart and comforted: "Mother-in-law is in good health, how can it not work, you wait for me to go and ask you for a doctor." After that, he said to Jun Mochou: "Mochou has to be obedient, accompany his mother-in-law here, and my brother will go to find a doctor." Jun Mochou seemed to understand, and knelt quietly in front of the bed without crying or making trouble.

Jun Mochou arranged everything, and ran out to find Lang Zhong without looking back. Soon Lin Moxian invited Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong prescribed some medicine to treat wind and cold and nourish the body. He said to Jun Mo: "That's how people are old, take some medicine to make up for it, and be able to stay with you for a few more days." Jun Mo listened to the doctor's words, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Seeing off the doctor with complicated feelings, Jun Moxian stood at the door for a long time, adjusted his mood and walked into Granny Yang's room and said happily: "The doctor said that the mother-in-law is just a little cold, just take some medicine, but the person's resistance has decreased when he is old, so he needs to rest well." But you have to take the medicine on time, mother-in-law, you can't decoct the medicine yourself, I'll help you decoction the medicine. However, Mo Chou and I may have to disturb my mother-in-law here for a few days. Mother-in-law, don't worry, Mo Chou and I will wash ourselves cleanly, and we won't trouble you if we sleep on the ground. ”

Granny Yang smiled when she heard Jun Moxian and said, "Little Moworry, you don't have to lie to your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law's body knows by herself, and I know that I won't live long." After that, he looked at the stool that Jun Moxian put in the corner and continued to speak: "It's just a pity that Xiao Moxian took so long to make the stool, and my mother-in-law is not blessed to sit, and when my mother-in-law leaves, I must remember to burn it to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law will go and sit below." You and Xiao Mochou will live here and spend a few more days with your mother-in-law. I can't think of you when you're in good health, you want to cook a good meal for you, but you don't want to, and now that you're not in good health, I have to trouble you to cook and decoction medicine for me. After that, he touched Mo Chou's face with a sigh on his face, and Mo Chou obediently didn't use his face to rub Granny Yang's hand.

Jun Moxian wiped his eyes and went to the kitchen to decoct Granny Yang's medicine. Jun Mo was worried about waiting for Granny Yang to get better before leaving here, as for the agreement to pay the protection fee on time every day, he would go to him, he couldn't care so much. If anything happens, let him come, and don't care about it.

From that day on, the two Jun Moxian brothers stayed at Granny Yang's house. During the day, she helped Granny Yang decoct medicine and cook, and slept next to Granny Yang's bed at night, in case Granny Yang needed anything to respond in time. Time is also passing day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the year is about to end, and there are snowflakes floating outside the window.

The snowflakes drifted gently, and the atmosphere in the house was quiet and harmonious. On the bed lay a sick old man, and next to the bed lay two unrelated children. It's very discordant but very warm.
