Vain eyebrows

Lin Xiao was about to shed tears.

That's urgent.

I can't count the number of times this is the first time. Even though I had expected this day to come, I didn't expect it to come so soon.He simply pulled off the shopkeeper's sleeve and knelt down in front of him with a plop: "Shopkeeper Liu, I beg you, don't drive me away so quickly, I still owe the doctor money for my godmother's hand injury, you just do it." All right, let me do it for a while longer, and pay it off..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly flung off the sleeves that were being pulled by him, and his old face with criss-cross lines was dotted with a little panic: "You... just say something, don't get so close to me. "

Lin Xiao slid backward by more than half a foot almost at the speed of conditioned reflex.

He only hated himself for being so dizzy that he just grabbed Shopkeeper Liu's sleeve like this, as long as it's okay, if he encounters some kind of headache tomorrow or the next day, wouldn't the hope left behind be even more bleak?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot." Lin Xiao thanked repeatedly: "I promise that in the future I will stay honestly in the backyard washing dishes and will not come out again. I promise that I won't hurt the guests. "

As Lin Xiao spoke, she kowtowed to the ground again.

Shopkeeper Liu frowned when he kowtowed: "Stop kowtowing first, don't kowtow again, I'm getting dizzy from kowtowing."

Lin Xiao was very obedient and immediately stopped this "self-mutilation" behavior, she responded, and raised her head gratefully, her forehead was already red and swollen.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and shook his head: "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, it's just that you are too capable of tiring and hurting..."

"It may not be an injury." Lin Xiao reminded.

"Huh?" Shopkeeper Liu looked bewildered.

Lin Xiao sincerely looked at the old man in front of her with big black eyes, as if not telling the truth was the worst thing: "It may not be an injury, but it may also be a physical discomfort."

Shopkeeper Liu supported his forehead.

I've seen honest people these years, but I've never seen someone as honest as Lin Xiao.No one else forced him to question him, so he revealed all his details, and even made confessions that were not good for him.

"Is there any other possibility?" Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help asking, seeing that he looked like a curious child.

Lin Xiao shook her head: "Not anymore."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, and suddenly thought about it, why did he follow his answer to ask questions!So, continue with the first topic: "I also know that there is still an old man in your family, and life is not easy, but in your situation, there are probably very few people who really dare to keep you. You are diligent and honest, and I It's all in your eyes. How about this, I'll order the cashier to pay you half a month's salary, but this person doesn't have to come again."

Shopkeeper Liu's implication is obvious, because you are good-natured, hard-working, and you have an old mother to take care of, so I will give you an extra half a month's wages.This can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.

Lin Xiao understood.In my own situation, if someone really wants to keep me, I must be very vigilant every second, for fear that if I don't pay attention, I will hurt others.

"I understand." Lin Xiao said gratefully: "Lin Xiao thanked Shopkeeper Liu on behalf of Godmother."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao kowtowed to shopkeeper Liu for the last time.

After getting out of the house, Lin Xiao carefully put the wages that he had just received from the accountant into his belt, and patted it lightly to make sure it was safe, before walking forward.

With the wages these days and the extra money given by shopkeeper Liu, he can barely pay off the money owed to Doctor Wang a few days ago.But after that, how to live this day?The godmother's hand injury has not healed, so she can't do work.Now that I have lost my job again, it is not easy to find another one.And three meals a day is a problem that needs to be solved every day. It doesn't matter if you are hungry, but you must not let the godmother also starve.For many years, if it wasn't for the godmother, I'm afraid I would have starved to death or died of illness because no one paid attention to me.The godmother is kind to herself, and no matter how hard it is, she must give her food and clothing.

Lin Xiao, who was worried while walking, suddenly stopped in front of a bun shop.

The buns in this bun shop are tender and juicy, which is the favorite of the godmother.

"Shopkeeper, give me eight, no, four buns." Lin Xiao took out the money he just got from his waist, pointed it around with his index finger, and finally decided to save his share.

The shopkeeper readily responded, "Okay. Thank you, two pennies."

Lin Xiao didn't hand over the money directly to the shopkeeper, but put it on the table.Carefully wrapped the broken money and put it in the belt.

The shopkeeper originally wanted to take the money directly, but seeing the behavior of the other party, he was taken aback.But still smiled and handed the buns.

"Just leave the buns alone, I'll take them myself," Lin Xiao said.

A flash of surprise flashed in the corner of the shopkeeper's eyes, but soon, he put down the steamed stuffed bun: "Okay."

Picking up the buns, Lin Xiao put them on the tip of her nose and smelled the hot aroma of the freshly baked buns. It seemed like this could overcome the protests of the hungry.

After Lin Xiao walked away, the shopkeeper said in an unhurried manner: "This person is really strange."

The man upstairs rested his cheek in one hand and lightly held the wine glass in the other, his eyes were lazy but a little agile.Wei Wei took a sip of what was in the cup, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up: "That's him."
