When I got closer, I realized that the little piglets were so skinny that they couldn't even stand upright.Wang Xiaomao squatted down and carefully looked under the bellies of several piglets. Well, yes, one of them had sixteen nipples, which was an excellent piglet for sows, and carefully found a piglet with longer limbs.Wu Suer didn't agree to buy two at first, but she couldn't resist the kitten's coquettish behavior. The boss also lowered the price again and again, and finally bought it for twenty copper coins. The copper plate is not a small number, it is enough to buy salt for a month at home, but seeing the excited look of the kitten, it is worth it after thinking about it.

After a long circle, it was almost noon, Wu Su'er hugged the kitten and hurried to a food stall at the entrance of the market, where she had an appointment with Wang Dazhu.When they arrived, Wang Dazhu was not there.Wu Su'er became a little anxious, muttering that he shouldn't be allowed to play alone.Wang Er put down the burden of things and said, "I'll look for it. Is the kitten hungry? Tell Ahma to buy you a bowl of noodles?"

Although the kitten repeatedly stated that she was not hungry, Wu Su'er ordered a bowl of noodles for the kitten, but she took out half of the cake that the kitten hadn't finished eating in the morning and gnawed it with tea.Noodles cost a penny a bowl, and the side dishes are not included. In fact, they are sliced ​​noodles, but the soup is made from bones. It tastes delicious and has ample portion.

Wang Xiaomao couldn't eat any more after eating half a bowl. Wu Su'er brought over to soak the cake and continued to eat. It was Wang Er who brought Wang Dazhu over. , Guess which one I was looking at?" Without waiting for the cats to answer, they answered again: "It's Li Xuejun, that monkey, he works as a clerk in the shop at the head of the town!"

The little cat was very surprised when he heard this. You must know that in this era, it is almost impossible to enter a store without access. This place is not as particular about "scholars, farmers, businessmen" as in ancient China. As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want. It is almost impossible for eight or nine-year-old children from poor families who grew up in small villages to either farm or study for generations to enter the business industry.In this era, doing work in the shop is equivalent to an apprenticeship, and of course no one will specifically guide you.

Wu Su'er ordered a bowl of noodles for Wang Dazhu and Wang Er respectively. Wang Er refused at first, but Wu Su'er just stared, and Wang Er just smiled silly.The father and the son finished a large bowl of noodles with a few whimpers.

"Ah, I want to see my little brother." Wang Xiaomao whispered.

"Let's go, big brother will take you there." Wang Dazhu wished he could stay in the town for a while, and immediately responded, patted his chest.

Wu Su'er gave him a chestnut: "Let's go, I still want to buy something, let's go and have a look. Speaking of which, last time he saved the kitten, we haven't thanked him yet."

Wu Su'er heard about the drowning of the cat later, and when she came back, she scolded Wang Dazhu severely, and warned him severely that she was not allowed to take the cat to play by the river again, and scolded Wang Xiaomao for the first time. In the future, the kitten will have to walk around looking at the water.

"Little brother, why did you come to work in the town?"

As soon as Li Xuejun raised his eyes, he saw a two or three-year-old boy standing by the door. The sun had inlaid a pale golden edge on the mole next to his left eye, and he looked blurred.

"Little brother, little brother, you don't remember me." Seeing that he didn't answer, the kitten shouted anxiously.

"Little cat, why did you come to town?"

"Stupid, I came with my father, my brother and my brother."

Only then did Li Xuejun notice the family of three outside the door, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Second Uncle Wang, Wang Momo, you are here for the market."

Wang Er went to Li Xuejun's side: "Xuejun, since you're here, do your best, don't worry about you, our family will help him a bit."

"Thank you, Second Uncle Wang." Li Xuejun choked up with only Wang Er's short sentence.

"Thank you, last time you saved the kitten, we didn't thank you." Wu Su'er said.

"Stinky boy, you're lazy again, come quickly and move these goods to the warehouse." There was a burst of shouting and cursing from outside the store.

"You are busy, we are going back." Seeing this, Wang Er said quickly.

Li Xuejun nodded heavily and ran out.

After several people walked out of the store, Wang Dazhu frowned and said: "I heard that he begged the shopkeeper for several days, but he couldn't drive him away no matter what. Only then did he stay."

Wu Su'er heard this and said, "Hey, she's also a poor one."

Although the kitten had said not to eat sugar before, Wu Suer finally bought a small packet of caramel, and Da Zhu was so happy that he drools.

Wang Er was carrying the things he bought, Wu Su'er was carrying the kitten on his back, Da Zhu was holding the caramel, the shadows of the family of four were drawn by the sun that was getting more and more westward, and from time to time there were a few humming sounds of piglets , Dazhu's cheers, Wu Suer's scolding...
