"Is there another one?" she asked, and then she saw that the man was actually holding two documents in his hand, "What is this?"
"This is for my benefactor," Li Dashao said.
The woman was even more surprised.
"My benefactor?" she asked.
"Actually, it was originally mine." Li Dashao put the document on the low table and sat cross-legged, "but I decided to give it to my benefactor."
The woman's eyes widened and she put down the needle and thread in her hand.
"That's right, the owner said that they spent all their money on renovating the store, so I'm afraid it was a little difficult to pay me the wages in the past few months." Li Dashao said.
The woman was stunned for a moment.
"No wages?" She didn't know what to say, "Then, then."
"So they plan to give me a dry stock as compensation." Li Dashao said, "They will give me wages after half a year, but these days, I can get food from the store."
The woman said oh, with a confused look on her face.
"Is it so easy to give you a stock?" she said, sighing, "Mr. Dou gave you one, but he still hid it, and in the end, Master Sun kicked him out. If it hadn't been for this, there would be no need to do this now."
"I also said it, and the boss laughed and said that their small shop can't make much money. It's enough for everyone to have food to eat and live a stable life." Li Dashao said, "They say it's a stock, but in fact
Maybe it’s not as much as the salary.”
The woman nodded. She was both a foreigner and a layman, and it was easy to imagine how her business could be compared to the former Zuifenglou.
"Then, what does it have to do with my benefactor?" she asked hurriedly.
"I was talking to the owner, and talked about their past, how they suffered when they were in the northwest, and how they seemed to be dying of illness, but they also got help from passers-by, so they were very emotional when they heard about me.
Those who receive favors are really grateful to their benefactors." Li Dashao said, sighing, "The boss said, so he must invite me to be the chef, as if he has repaid the favor, although this
They are completely two different things."
He shook his head and smiled.
"These guys from the northwest are really..." he said.
"He is an honest man." The woman also said.
"So when the boss patted me on the shoulder and said that being able to repay a favor is the greatest pleasure, I suddenly thought of it." Li Dashao said, looking at the contract in his hand.
In other words, someone suggested it at the time. Anyway, he couldn’t remember it clearly, but that’s what he paid attention to anyway.
"Why don't I give this dry stock to Han Engong? Anyway, in a few months, I will be able to get wages. If there is no Han Langjun, there will be no dry stock, let alone wages and so on. I
Just give this to Han Langjun. If you receive favors from others, you must repay them in return, for the sake of a man!" he said.
When Li Dashao said these words, he seemed to have returned to the scene of talking to the shopkeeper, and he felt very happy.
The woman looked at the man with surprise on her face.
Li Dashao turned his head and saw the woman, coughed, and sat down again.
"Do you feel bad?" he said.
The woman shook her head and smiled.
"Da Lang, I think you are really well. When you spoke just now, you were particularly energetic. I have never seen you so energetic before." She said, looking at the man with tender eyes, unable to conceal her admiration.
, "It's good of you to do this. Although we are poor, if we have the opportunity, we must repay others' kindness."
Li Dashao nodded.
"Those bosses are all honest people, and they really want to run this store well. I will definitely follow them." He said, holding the woman's rough and hard-working hand, "Follow me, and you will suffer.
.”
The woman lowered her head, shed tears and shook her head.
"It's not hard, Dalang, you are very kind to me," she said.
The couple hug each other in the shabby room, feeling warm and affectionate in the late winter.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the morning light is bright.
Mrs. Zhou sat down for a while before she saw Cheng Jiaoniang coming out.
"Jiao Jiao'er, are you feeling better?" she asked with concern, while examining Cheng Jiao Niang's face, "You look much better."
In fact, it’s hard to tell whether this woman’s complexion is good or bad, it’s all the same anyway.
Cheng Jiaoniang hummed, nodded briefly, thanked her and sat down.
"Would you like to see another doctor? Get some medicine? Jiaojiaoer, what do you think is good to eat?" Mrs. Zhou asked casually.
Cheng Jiaoniang answered in three sentences.
"Don't worry about money. Our Zhou family doesn't have anything else. We can eat and drink as much as we want. Unlike your father, he even treated you poorly. After your brother came back and told you, your uncle was so angry that he had to argue with your father." Zhou
The lady said, sighing with tears in her eyes, "My son, they are eating and drinking your mother's dowry, but they dare to treat you badly. If we had known this, why should we feel sorry for our relatives and just take you back."
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her sleeves to cover her yawn.
"Having said this, don't worry, your mother's belongings are all yours, and they will never be ignored by others. When you get married, we will buy more for you." Mrs. Zhou said, changing the subject, "Give me your money.
Whether it's taking care of it, saving it, or adding a few shops, Jiao Jiaoer, your uncle and aunt will make sure that you live well and have enough food and clothing."
Cheng Jiaoniang bowed her head and saluted.
"Then go get the flying money coupons given by the Tong family. It would be a pity to keep the money. Our family can just keep it ourselves." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head.
"No need," she said.
Mrs. Zhou's face turned stiff.
"Jiaojiao'er, I don't want your money. Don't be afraid. You're still young and can't handle it yourself. I'll hold it for you. I won't give it to you." She forced a smile and persuaded, "You take it.
You still have this small amount of money, and you still have to add some free expenses. My aunt will give it to you, and the money will beget money, and it will all be yours in the future."
"No need." Cheng Jiaoniang said again.
Why is this child so stubborn? Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath.
"Madam." The maid took over the conversation first and said with a frown, "My wife said, no, no, no, no, please don't ask for any more, okay? I made her cry and make people laugh."
This bastard! Mrs. Zhou was furious, but she quickly calmed down.
"Jiaojiao'er, I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't want to?" she asked.
"I don't want to." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at Mrs. Zhou, "I'm hungry."
Hungry?
Am I hungry?
When is this? Why are you hungry? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang with a sudden thought.
Liu Lang's voice suddenly rang in their ears. It was what his son had told them after returning from Jiangzhou.
"When she saw me, she said two words to make the Cheng family embarrassed. Father, mother, guess what she said?"
"She said, I'm hungry."
I’m hungry…..
She only said two words in front of the right person at the right time.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the woman in front of her. Her eyebrows were as dark as black, and under her hair, her dull eyes were a bit deep and unpredictable, which only made people feel uneasy.
