Save the life delayed by the scum

Chapter 63: The bamboo horse delayed by the scum

It took Shen Yue a long time to do this.

At noon, Shen Yue asked the manager to settle the wages. The other party seemed very satisfied with Shen Yue, and even patted Shen Yue on the shoulder, asking if he would come in the afternoon?

Shen Yue smiled and nodded towards the person, then turned and walked towards Fang Yunxi.

Fang Yunxi, who watched Shen Yue carry the sack for a long time, immediately stood up from his seat when he saw him coming.

After Shen Yue put the wages settled in the morning into the purse, and stuffed it into his arms, he waved to him, "Go, I'll take you to lunch."

Fang Yunxi hesitated to speak, Shen Yue knew what he wanted to say, and took the initiative to explain, "Actually, it's okay, I'm not tired, just take it as exercise. After the exam, I will stay in the numbered room for a few days. I don't have a good body. no."

But no matter how much you exercise, you shouldn't come to the pier to do coolies, right?

Fang Yunxi wanted to refute Shen Yue's words, but in the end he didn't say anything, but he was no longer willing to give Shen Yue the things in his hands, so he just hugged and followed Shen Yue all the way in silence.

There were many more food sellers at the gate of the city than in the morning, and the day laborers on the wharf also rushed towards the food stalls with clear goals.

Shen Yue looked around, the food in this era is relatively common, and there are more people in front of the wonton stall in the morning, so he discussed with Fang Yunxi what to eat at noon.

Shen Yue suggested, "Why don't I buy you another bowl of wontons. It doesn't look like there's anything delicious here."

Fang Yunxi shook his head. After buying snacks in the morning, he also saw that Shen Yue didn't want to spend money on himself, but he couldn't bear to eat Shen Yue's hard-earned money, so he walked quickly to a steamed bun stand and pointed Looking at the hot steamed buns just out of the oven, he said, "I'll just eat this."

Shen Yue laughed when he heard the words, and said, "No matter how much you want to save me money, you can't just eat this. Besides, I was a coolie just now, so I have to make up for it anyway."

Fang Yunxi thought it made sense, but seeing all kinds of food, he lost his mind for a while.

In the past, he never looked at the price when buying things, and he didn't think there was any problem with it before, but after Shen Yue's hard work this morning, when he looked at these things now, he felt that everything was expensive, and the price of everything would be equal. He automatically converted it to Shen Yue to resist several sacks.

How many sacks are needed for this one, how many sacks are needed for that one... After all the calculations, there is a lawsuit on the forehead.

Shen Yue only thought he was cute, so he rubbed his head vigorously, took advantage of the fact that the other party was blowing his hair, and quickly led the people to sit down at a noodle stall, ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles from the stall, and then went to the next door to buy five meat buns .

While the stall owner was cooking the noodles, Shen Yue handed over the bought buns to Fang Yunxi.

Fang Yunxi held the steamed stuffed bun and ate it slowly, chewing it bit by bit, savoring it as if it was some kind of delicacy in the world.

Shen Yue was really hungry, so he swallowed one in a few mouthfuls, and after eating two in a row, the noodles were cooked. At this time, the buns in Fang Yunxi's hand had just gone down halfway.

"Not hungry?" Shen Yue glanced at him and asked.

Fang Yunxi shook his head, then nodded again, watching the whole person tangled up.

Shen Yue didn't understand what he wanted to express, and only urged him to eat quickly, "Eat a little, the noodles won't taste good when they are cold." After speaking, he reached out and took another bun from the oil-paper bag.

Fang Yunxi pushed the last bun towards Shen Yue, then raised the bun in his hand, "This is enough for me, you can eat it." After speaking, he buried his face in the noodle bowl, quickly eat up.

This is indeed the truth, he has been sitting all morning without moving much, his physical exertion is naturally inferior to Shen Yue, and he is not very hungry.

Shen Yue took a bowl of noodles into his stomach, seeing that Fang Yunxi really couldn't finish the noodles in the bowl, so he took the remaining meat buns and ate them by himself.

The two settled some money, and Shen Yue asked Fang Yunxi if there was anything he wanted to visit. Fang Yunxi shook his head, and then Shen Yue led them back to the pier.

When the sun is not so poisonous, he will join the porting team at the pier again.

The steward had an impression of this young and handsome young man. He didn't look very strong, but his physical strength was amazing. He didn't take much rest all morning, and he was almost catching up with the experienced hands here.In fact, when Shen Yue first came, he was not willing to ask for it, but Shen Yue said that he could try it first, and if he was not satisfied, he could leave at any time.

Speaking of this, he is also willing to give this young man a chance.Unexpectedly, this trial gave him a pleasant surprise, and the manager was very straightforward when paying the wages, so Shen Yue was asked to come back in the afternoon.

Naturally, Shen Yue would not let go of such an opportunity to make money, and carried it for several hours in the afternoon, during which Fang Yunxi brought him a bowl of water, Shen Yue asked him where he came from, and Fang Yunxi pointed to the wonton stall not far away .

After quenching his thirst, Shen Yue continued to work.

He didn't stop until he was approaching Mao, and when he was looking for the steward to settle the money, the other party asked Shen Yue if he would come tomorrow.

Shen Yue put the money into the purse, saying that next time he could only watch the time, and the steward still looked regretful.

When passing by the wonton stall, the old man was about to close the stall, and Shen Yue walked over to express his thanks.The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a bowl of water, there's nothing to thank you for. But your brother is so kind to you. When he came to borrow water, he couldn't bear to take a sip, so he took it and gave it to you."

When Shen Yue heard this, she turned her head and looked at Fang Yunxi behind her.

Fang Yunxi didn't expect the old man to mention this to Shen Yue. Seeing Shen Yue looking at him, she unnaturally avoided the other party's sight, but her face turned red.

Shen Yue thanked the old man again, and then took Fang Yunxi to the city gate.Before Uncle Li came, the two found a stone and sat down.Shen Yue was tired all day, the sweat on his body wet his clothes, and then was dried again. Now he just feels sticky all over his body, and all he wants is to go home and take a shower.

He tugged at his collar uncomfortably. Fang Yunxi noticed this action, and he suggested that Shen Yue go to his house to wash, "After all, it is inconvenient for you to have female relatives in your family. My family is just me, grandfather, and Fang Bo. You can wash it open, and I have a bathtub at home, you don't want to finish washing after a day of tiredness, and then take a comfortable hot bath?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yue was really moved.

Originally, he just wanted to go home and use the bathtub to take a shower, but as Fang Yunxi said, the Shen family has female dependents, so even if he took a shower, he could only wait for them to fall asleep, which was inconvenient no matter what.Compared with the Shen family, the population of the Fang family is simpler, and it is indeed convenient to do everything.

Shen Yue didn't want to wrong herself, so she complied without hypocrisy.

Uncle Li came out after finishing his work. He saw two people waiting for him, and hurriedly greeted him, and they got into the bullock cart.

Compared with when I came, the return journey feels shorter.

Soon, we arrived at the entrance of the village.

Shen Yue and Fang Yunxi thanked Uncle Li, and then rushed home.

Shen Yue went back home first, put the advance copy paper into the study, then counted out half of today's wages, and handed it to his grandfather.

In front of the whole family, the old man Shen took it with a sullen face, and then his majestic eyes swept over the faces of every Shen family present, making Shen Lao Er and Shen Lao San blushed and ashamed.

The Zhang family of the second family and the Wang family of the third family also lowered their heads under the eyes of their father-in-law.

Seeing the dull atmosphere at home, the other children didn't dare to say anything.

Old lady Shen knew that her eldest grandson was going to do coolies at the pier today, and she was even more distressed. She kept bringing food to Shen Yue for dinner, but no one felt that she was partial.

Thinking that all the scholars at home have gone out to do coolies to make money, they just feel ashamed that their previous dissatisfaction or small thoughts were slapped on their faces like real slaps.

After dinner, Shen Yue proposed that he would go to Fang's house, but no one said anything, even the always stingy third aunt Wang took out a piece of cloth and asked him to take it to Fang's house.

The last time Mrs. Zhang brought Shen Yue a bag of sugar to Fang's house, she was highly praised by Mrs. Shen, and even the always taciturn old man Shen praised his second daughter-in-law for a job well done.

Although the third aunt Wang wanted to show it in front of her in-laws this time, Shen Yue still refused.

The main reason is that the piece of cloth that Mrs. Wang took out was dark red. In this era, the color of clothes has a strict hierarchy. "Courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people." There are clear regulations on colors and cannot be overridden. , it is a crime for civilians to wear it.Under this system, there are not many colors that ordinary women can wear. For her, this piece of cloth from the Wang family is already a rare and bright color.

But Shen Yue didn't like it very much. He felt that Fang Yunxi was only suitable for him if he was in red, and the official uniforms of this dynasty were red.

Seeing Shen Yue's refusal, Mrs. Wang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something, and quickly glanced at the mother-in-law beside her, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Shen glaring at her severely.

Wang was a little wronged, but she didn't dare to touch the majesty of her mother-in-law.

"I have pastries, you bring them." Mrs. Shen said, and was about to take out the pastries she had pressed at the bottom of the box, but Shen Yue rejected them dumbfounded.

"I'm just looking for Yunxi to play, so I don't need to bring anything back, and he doesn't have a bad heart."

Mrs. Shen just gave up, but the grandchildren below looked at her eagerly, obviously hearing the word dim sum and being greedy.

When Shen Yue went out, Mrs. Shen was cursing into the house to get food for a group of little bastards in her mouth.

Shen Yue shook his head, it was all because of poverty.

The Shen family is actually from an average family. If it weren't for the support of the Fang family, the original owner wouldn't be able to study. It's a pity that the Fang family has good intentions, but feeds a white-eyed wolf.

When Shen Yue arrived at Fang's house, the moon was already in the sky. He knocked on the back door, and the door opened after a while, and a white and tender boy came out from inside.

Fang Yunxi pursed his lips and complained, "I thought you wouldn't come?" If he hadn't been listening to the back door, Shen Yue would have knocked on it all night and no one would have opened it for him.

Fang Bo is the kind of person who can't be shaken when he falls asleep. Fortunately, the law and order nearby is good, otherwise he would have to worry about being thieves.

Fang Bo fell asleep, Fang Yunxi had no choice but to get up by himself, waiting to open the door for Shen Yue.

Shen Yue walked in with a smile, Fang Yunxi closed the door behind, and when they passed by the servant's room closest to the back door, the two of them really heard Fang Bo's loud snoring, which was extraordinarily loud in the silent night.

Shen Yue and Fang Yunxi in the yard looked at each other, and then laughed out loud at the same time, as if they had returned to their childhood, they went back to the room lightly.

There was a bathtub in the center of Fang Yunxi's room, and hot water had already been filled in it, but after waiting for so long, the water was already cold.
