crush the rich

When Miao Xiaojun heard this sentence, his heart trembled, fearing that this sentence would offend Yue Ke and make the other party hostile towards him.

But in fact, Yue Ke didn't take this matter to heart at all, and said, "Sometimes I really feel that I am too delicate." Then she smiled at Miao Xiaojun.

Miao Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Lian said to Miao Xiaojun, "Wait a minute." Then she gave Yue Ke the medicine and helped her tidy up her clothes before standing up and letting Miao Xiaojun follow.

Miao Xiaojun had nothing to object to, and obediently followed her to another room.

Then I heard Yin Lian say to Xiao Er: "Take him in and wash him off."

When Miao Xiaojun heard this, he was startled, and then he found that hot water was prepared in the room, and there was a spare bucket next to it, obviously Yin Lian had already had someone prepare it before he came.

Instinctively, he grabbed the skirt of his clothes and said, "I don't want to take a bath!"

Yin Lian said: "If you want to do things with me, then you not only have to take a shower, but also cut that dirty hair neatly!" Yin Lian found his reaction quite interesting.

Just looking at the appearance, Miao Xiaojun is actually quite clean, at least much cleaner and fresher than most of the juvenile gangsters I have seen before, obviously he is not a person who does not like to be clean.

So it's a bit interesting that he would reject taking a bath.

You know, for an orphan like Miao Xiaojun who has no fixed place to live, a comfortable bathing opportunity is definitely rare.Don't say that many children don't like to take a bath. For a child who doesn't like to take a bath, if you let him not take a bath for a month, he will definitely come running with itches all over his body and beg you to give him another chance.

For a child who loves to be clean, this kind of opportunity is even more difficult to refuse.

However, Yin Lian continued to overweight this matter: "Well, if you are willing to go in and wash it clean and cut your hair neatly, I will give you two silver dollars later."

This extra size is too tempting, Miao Xiaojun immediately agreed, and asked: "Can I wash it myself?"

Yin Lian gave him a meaningful look, and paused for a few seconds before replying: "Yes, but if you can't wash it clean, don't blame me for letting you go back to the pot. Do you have to cut your hair yourself?"

Miao Xiaojun hesitated for a moment before replying: "I can't cut it well, let someone else do it."

Then he obediently went in and washed himself clean.He also seemed to realize that Yin Lian's requirements should be relatively high, so he washed very thoroughly and carefully. The maid in the inn went in and changed the water three times before the child could be considered clean.

Yin Lian was taken aback when she came out.

He seemed to have at least three shades of white. After brushing away the wet hair to reveal his forehead, Yin Lian discovered that this child was unexpectedly handsome, and could even be called a boy or a girl.

Yin Lian could understand why he didn't want to take a bath.Such a handsome child, whether male or female, would be troublesome in this kind of place.Don't forget that when Yue Ke first entered the city, she was harassed by gangsters—her makeup was very tight, and she couldn't see any signs of femininity.

Of course, children have their own advantages-many people are more unscrupulous in the face of adults, but adults have more strength and resistance than children anyway.

Except for Yue Keke.

Yin Lian sighed when she saw this little cookie.She was not joking when she complained and complained about the other party. If she had had the character of Yue Ke when she was a child, it is estimated that the substances that make up her cells would have gone along with the laws of the ecological circle. Acting as a spirit of all things?

Miao Xiaojun is similar in this regard.But it can't be said that God has treated him badly, after all, this child is young and extremely elf, so this brain is not the living capital that God compensated for him.

Most of the people who are really owed have already slept in Jiuquan.

Yin Lian approached, observed Miao Xiaojun carefully, rubbed his face with his hands, squeezed his arms, and made sure that they had been washed thoroughly without any sticky residue.Miao Xiaojun was also very well-behaved, standing there for her inspection, he seemed a little nervous, but he didn't resist.

After a while, Xiaoer sent two brand-new sets of cyan bunts, which were the size of a child.In this era, many children come out to work as apprentices and child laborers, but no boss is willing to bother to make beautiful and exquisite children's clothes for them. Most of them wear this kind of standard clothes, and the colors are also blue, gray, black and so on. Dirt-resistant colors, because many people use them, it is easy to buy ready-made ones.

It was clearly not bright and beautiful clothes, but when he realized that the clothes were probably for himself, Miao Xiaojun's eyeballs were glued to the clothes, and he couldn't even turn around.

...that was the first new suit he had ever seen that might belong to him.

Do you know where his previous clothes came from?

He picked them up by rummaging through the garbage dumps and the debris piled up outside other people's houses.Then he washed it himself, sewed and mended it clumsily, and it was his new clothes.

If you are lucky, you can also spend a few copper coins that you have saved with great difficulty, and exchange some old clothes with the lowest-level servants of rich families.You don’t need to think about the good clothes of the master’s house. Everyone is poor these days, and the prime minister has a few poor relatives. The old clothes of the master’s house are excellent choices whether they are gifted to poor relatives or proud servants. .

When Miao Xiaojun had the best luck, he found an old cotton padded jacket that was slightly damaged but not patched. It was said that it was worn by the bastard of a rich family when he died, and it was a fine cotton padded jacket.Because it was worn by the dead and was stained with blood, no one wanted it. Miao Xiaojun only spent a dozen copper coins to buy it back. It helped him spend a relatively warm winter, and it became his most decent piece of clothing.

But new clothes?

After looms became popular, the minimum price for a set of fine cloth clothes was more than 200 yuan, but unfortunately that was the price in Nanyi Province.Here, a brand-new set of muslin clothes cost at least five hundred bucks—two sets cost close to a silver dollar.

If Yin Lian gave Miao Xiaojun two silver dollars as promised, with the quality of life of a vagrant like him, he could live a good life for two or three years, so even with this money, he would never be able to buy new clothes. They will hide it secretly, or replace it with a part of the grain and hide it as grain,

Miao Xiaojun looked at the two sets of clothes, obviously he couldn't take his eyes off, but he didn't even move.

In front of him again, Yin Lian put two silver dollars on the clothes.

Miao Xiaojun stared at it for a long time before asking: "Is this for me?" His tone was cautious, he could hear excitement, but he was very restrained.

Yin Lian noticed that this child had an extraordinary self-control.For example, at this time, based on his background and life experience, ordinary children would have already jumped on him, but he could bear it and ask Yin Lian first.

That's not to say he wasn't greedy.In fact, Yin Lian knew it when he looked at his eyes. His eyes were almost red, overflowing with longing, as if a blood basin full of sharp teeth would protrude from it at any time. With a big mouth, he bit his clothes and swallowed them into his stomach.

But he also knows how to put on airs.

...here for commendation.

Greed and patience are both advantages in Yin Lian's view.

At least for Miao Xiaojun's background, such a situation is an advantage.Only by being greedy can we know how to make progress, and we can climb out of this muddy pit one day, and we can learn to be patient, so that we can maintain rationality, so that we will not completely lose ourselves in the process of climbing out of the muddy pit.

Yin Lian really likes this child.

She said, "Yes, it's all for you."

Not only that, she also ordered a large table of dishes, and invited Miao Xiaojun to eat together, and observed his reaction during the process.Naturally, Miao Xiaojun had never eaten such a sumptuous meal, but he maintained the same restraint.

Of course, he was full.But in the process of being overwhelmed, he maintained a certain demeanor, not elegant, but at least he didn't look very rude.Compared to his status, it is rare.

Yue Ke sprained his foot. Although he could still go on the road, it was not very convenient after all.Yin Lian observed the city before, and felt that it could be used as a style material for reference, so she decided to stay a few more days and hire Miao Xiaojun as her guide.

Naturally, it was impossible for Miao Xiaojun not to agree.

After leaving the inn, he found an opportunity to hide a silver dollar, and then exchanged another silver dollar. He divided [-]% of the exchanged copper coins to Boss Wang, and took out [-]% of the remaining [-]% to buy some side dishes. , to give Boss Wang's accomplices extra meals, and then put the rest of the money into his pocket.

This is Miao Xiaojun's way of survival, so naturally he would not tell people the details of the entanglements involved, but Yin Lian easily saw the process, and was quite surprised by Miao Xiaojun's actions.

But although this child is an experienced person, he has never read a book and lacks sufficient vision, so he can't understand some of Yin Lian's requirements very well. Many times, the tourist places he finds according to Yin Lian's requirements are not accurate. It fits her requirements perfectly, and sometimes even goes the other way.

It took Yin Lian a lot of effort to finally find a way of expression that could be clearly understood by Miao Xiaojun, and finally made him understand what kind of scene he wanted to see.

So the next day, Miao Xiaojun took Yin Lian to a place.

A place that fully meets her requirements and is very similar to the "compound" where Li Fangming lived in Liucheng.

This is a yard with a large patio. There are actually no people during the day, only an older woman who looks like she is washing clothes by the well. When she saw Miao Xiaojun leading Yin Lian in, her expression was a bit surprised, and she asked : "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Miao Xiaojun said, "Sister-in-law Zha, I'm Ah Jun."

Only then did the woman recognize him, and she was very surprised: "Ah Jun? How did you become like this?"
