Under the osmanthus tree

"Hmph, it's all his fault. He slapped me for no reason. You can bear it! Hey, you still look at me like this, don't you? My grandson's hands are pretty dark, and now I'm in pain all over my body."

"I've already said that it wasn't me who hit you, but my hand suddenly had a cramp. Do you have to do this? You are the most stingy person who comes out with us. If you still beat me like this, I won't play with you anymore! "He really didn't know at the time, when he recovered, his own hand had already hit his face.He must be growing up, and he needs to drink two more bowls of bone soup when he gets home.

"If you still say you have cramps, I'll show you another cramp." As he said that, he was about to get up.

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Wang Jun roared: "We're both brothers, let's leave this matter here. You're also losing face to me, what will Ding Yao think of me!"

"Okay, brother is sorry for you this time, next time we are going to find you back!"

"I still have to go!" He wanted to let it go, it was already very embarrassing.

The two patients stared at Wang Jun and replied together: "Of course!"

Wang Jun: "..."

When it was almost dark, Ding Yao closed the store and went home with Lu Qinghan. Since there were not many people in their yard, everyone had already eaten their meals at this time, and it seemed a little deserted that no one arrived on the road.

However, this did not affect the conversation between the two of them at all, and the laughter mixed with it from time to time blown away the deserted meaning a lot.The two of them were thinking about what to have for dinner. At noon, for the convenience of everyone, Ding Yao would cook some food in the store with the embroiderers, and she had to cook some food by herself when she got home at night.The two also talked softly around this topic.

"You may not believe it, but I think I might be able to cook some dishes." These days, she is very greedy when she sees the dishes Ding Yao cooks. It is impossible to go so far every day to cook some food for Lu Qinghan.When Lu Qinghan saw those dishes, he recalled a few sporadic fragments. It seemed that they were in the kitchen, and there were a few freshly cooked dishes beside them. Those dishes looked good. Alright, so just bringing up the idea now.

"You know how to cook?" It's not that she doesn't believe it, even looking at Lu Qinghan's tender and ugly hands, she doesn't look like a person who can enter the kitchen, no, it's a ghost now.

"Should be. Would you like me to cook it for you to eat at night? Well! You don't cook it at night, just let me come." She is already imagining that Ding Yao is full of praise while eating her food. Some can't wait to go home.

"Okay, hahaha, then I'll sit and wait for you."

"Well, you can rest assured."

Before he knew it, he was almost at the door of the house. Lu Qinghan's eyes were sharp, and he saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of his house. He seemed familiar. "Yao'er, who is that!"

Someone in Ding Yao paid attention and didn't answer Lu Qinghan's words. It was a little dark, and Ding Yao slowly walked forward a few steps and looked at the man. "Hey, why do you look so much like my father?"

The middle-aged man also paid attention to Ding Yao, stood up at once, and said flatteringly to Ding Yao: "Daughter, you are back, is it because business is so good recently that you come home so late, dad brought you A piece of meat and big bones, I will cook some soup for you later."

What's the situation, her father said such things to her so passionately when she was seven or eight years old. At that time, her father was not addicted to gambling. Although the family was not very rich, they always had meat to eat. This is much better than others.Later, he became obsessed with gambling, and when he was in a good mood, he was kinder to the mother and daughter, and when he was in a bad mood, he beat and scolded them both.When she was 15 years old, after she went outside to study and make some money as an embroiderer, he would smile every time she handed over the money to him.

Ding Yao's tone couldn't help softening a bit: "Why are you here so late, Dad?"

"Come on, let's not all stand at the door, let's talk first."

Following Ding Yao into the yard, Ding Shan rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Can you give me some money?"

Ding Yao's face turned cold immediately, her lips were pressed into a straight line, and she said after a long time, "Did you come here just to ask for money? I remember I gave you some just a while ago." That was when she promised to give him 50 taels of silver For one thing, she always gave him a small amount of money on time, just because she was afraid that he would gamble after getting more money.Looking at him like this, it is obvious that he has lost money again or has been called to collect debts by creditors.

"The money has been used up a long time ago. Alas, I can't blame it all. A few of them drank with me, and as we talked, we talked about the shop you opened was very profitable. You still hired three or four embroiderers. It's a big boss, the big boss must be very rich, besides, I'm very lucky."

"Later I drank too much, and they asked me to gamble again. I didn't expect that they would gang up on me and cause me to lose a lot of money. At that time, I was drunk and didn't know exactly what happened. When I woke up At that time, I saw that the IOU they took out had my own name on it. What can I do about it? If I sued the county lord with the black and white paper, they would only say that I owed money and didn’t pay it back. Today they came to the door again Forcing me to pay back the money, I have no money to pay back, they even smashed my stall, saying that if I still don’t pay the money, they will let me eat in prison. It doesn’t matter if I go to prison, but you have to think about your mother, your mother If you are alone at home, you will definitely be bullied by others. Take a look at how much money you have on hand, or give it to me to deal with the emergency first. "

These words seemed like someone else was pricking her heart with a needle, but she couldn't feel the slightest pain, because that heart was already riddled with holes and numb. "I don't have any money. You know that I have hired such people. The shop rent is borrowed, and most of the cloth is owed money. You look good at this business, but you haven't even made money back. Open such a It’s pretty good to make money in half a year, but I’ve only opened it for a month.”

"Impossible, at least I have some money left over, let's take care of it first." The daily income must be quite a lot, so he didn't believe that there was nothing at all.

"It's really gone. When the money comes back, the monthly salary has already been paid to the embroiderer." She didn't think she was lying to her by saying this. Tomorrow is the day of wages, and the money has already been paid.
