Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free
Chapter 71 The boy who wants to pay back the money for the steamed buns
I was a little tired last night, and I was shocked when I came back. I woke up a little late in the morning. When I opened the door, it was already very bright. I woke up Xiaobao and Chuliang, dressed neatly, and washed up quickly. There were many things to do in the store, so I had to get there early.
When I opened the gate, I saw a young man sitting by the gate. I looked closely and recognized that he was the boy in the yard last night.
His clothes were ragged and his face was pale. It looked like he had been here for quite some time. Even his hair was wet from the morning mist. Could he have been here last night?
When she saw me open the gate, she raised her wet eyes and asked me to look at her. There was anxiety and longing in her eyes, but more importantly, there was fear of being rejected.
I didn't intend to care. I asked him to leave last night and gave him steamed buns and scallion pancakes as gifts, which was my kindness. But I don't have the habit of giving kindness to strangers.
There were many things to do in the store, so I didn't stay. I locked the door to the yard and left in a hurry with Xiaobao and Chu Liang.
But the appearance of the little boy today made me a little worried. The little boy last night was not a vicious person. If we encounter a vicious person who we cannot control, it will be a problem.
The small house was filled with cloth and no one was guarding it. It was not safe.
There are not enough people. I really have no choice. Xiuwen used to be at home and Liuniang also lived here. There are many people in the small courtyard. It is a bit crowded, but it doesn't feel safe. Now it's just me, Chuliang, and Xiaobao. One woman, two children. A yard of cloth, no matter how you look at it, it's not reliable!
Even if we go to buy someone back, there won't be enough room at home. It looks like we should call Liu Niang back tonight to replace her. Having more people living in the house will prevent us from encountering something like what happened last night. It was too scary.
After a few busy days, I went to ask next door if there was a house for rent. If there was, I would rent one. If not, I would buy two people back.
Chu Liang and Xiao Bao separated from me at the intersection and took another road to the college. I walked alone with my head down, thinking all the way. I didn't notice that there was a boy behind me, who followed me to the store without saying a word.
Everyone in the store was busy, so I picked up the broom and prepared to sweep the floor. The boy took the broom from my hand and started sweeping. I then realized that the boy had followed me into the store.
Xinghua and Liuniang were wiping the table. Seeing this, they opened their mouths in surprise. Liuniang blurted out, "Sister Yiyi, are you looking for someone again?"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly. I said to the boy, "Come with me." I turned and walked into the back kitchen of the store.
The boy followed in with a mop, still with his head down and without saying a word.
Me: "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The boy raised his head, looked into my eyes, and whispered, "I took your steamed buns and scallion pancakes yesterday, and I will do some work for you today."
"Then what will you do?"
The boy lowered his head and said softly: "I, I can write."
The boy who can write, thinking that the current accounts of the store are managed by Liu Niang, if the boy has good character, the store just happens to be short of people. But I have to ask clearly. Judging from the look of last night, the boy must have encountered difficulties. If he is willing to come to work, it is not impossible.
"What's your name? Who else is in your family? Where are you from? Why do you look like this? Have you finished eating all the steamed buns from yesterday?" I asked, still looking at the boy.
The boy said: "My name is Su Lai. I have a father at home. He was injured, so I left the steamed buns to him. We came from the north. We wanted to go to the capital, but we had no money, so we ended up here. I had no other choice last night, so I stole your steamed buns, but I will really work hard to return the money to you."
Me: "Sulai, what a nice name. Where do you live? What did your father do?"
Su Lai: "We live in a dilapidated temple on a mountain outside the town. My father used to work as an accountant for others. Later, something went wrong, and my father and I had no choice but to end up here."
I picked up a set of men's shorts and said, "You can call me Auntie Yun. There is water over there. Wash up, change your clothes, and do it for a day to see how you perform. If you are okay, you can stay here. Of course, if you are not okay, I will not hire you. You know that I am a small business and cannot afford to support idle people, let alone useless people."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at me in surprise: "Thank you, I will do my best."
I picked up the finished clothes and came to the door of the shop, and started to set up the stall for selling clothes.
It didn't take long for Su Lai to change his clothes and come out. He simply changed his clothes and tied his hair up. The boy looked different. He looked more elegant and refined, and it seemed that he was a favorite at home.
Su Lai learned quickly. He watched me hang clothes and started to help me arrange the clothes one by one according to my example. Sometimes when he didn't know how to do it, he would just look at me and quickly get the hang of it.
I saw that he was busy, so I asked Xinghua to pay attention to him and went to the steamed bun shop. I bought a few breakfasts. I went back to the shop and picked up one of them and handed it to Su Lai.
He took it carefully, said thank you and started eating. He only ate one of the two buns and put the other one in his arms.
I ignored him and watched him slowly smile from being unfamiliar and timid at the beginning, and learn how to serve customers who came to the store to eat vermicelli. I could see that Su Lai was trying very hard to do everything well, and he was doing it very seriously.
It was busy at noon, and everyone had a bowl of vermicelli. Everyone finished eating quickly, but he was the only one holding the vermicelli and looking at the mountain outside the town again and again. Finally, he said carefully: "Auntie Yun, can I take it back to my father to eat?"
Me: "Eat first. If you don't eat something, how are you going to do your work later? Just take some back with you when you go back to your father's place. If you leave it there now, it will become mushy and you won't be able to eat it later."
"Thank you Auntie Yun." Chu Lai then picked up the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls. Soon, the bowl of vermicelli was empty.
Su Lai also had good handwriting and kept good accounts. In the afternoon, he was almost the only one who worked as a waiter and kept accounts in the shop, and Xinghua went to the back to make clothes.
This young man is really good, flexible, capable, and filial, so I decided to help them. I also happened to be looking for someone, especially someone who is suitable for managing things.
I think I should go meet Su Lai's father.
"Su Lai, do you want to stay here with me?"
Su Lai looked at me anxiously and happily: "Aunt Yun, can I stay?"
"Okay, since you've decided to do it here, let's go pick up your father this afternoon. Come on, I'll rent a car for you, and when we get him, we'll go directly to the small courtyard."?
"Thank you, thank you Aunt Yun,"
"No hurry, just follow me to a place first."
I brought Su Lai to the small courtyard and knocked on the neighbor's door. There was an elderly couple next door. They had three rooms in their house, and one of them was empty. When they heard that I wanted to rent a house, they readily agreed to rent it for 300 wen a month.
I took one of the extra quilts and gave it to Su Lai.
He went to the car dealership and rented a bullock cart. After asking Su to pick up his old father, he went directly to the rented house to settle down.
Su Lai thanked him profusely and followed the ox cart to pick up his father.
I returned to the store and was busy until Xiaobao came to find me. After dinner, I ignored the father and son and fell asleep with Xiaobao and Chu Liang.
