Chapter 7

Of course, such a good thing doesn’t happen every time, there are also cases where rough old women just blow people away, Gou Sheng doesn’t care, gets up and pats the dirt on his body, and then bumps into a carriage run!

Shan Guan almost stared at the laughing ugly child all morning, then turned around and ran towards the house quickly,

At noon, Gousheng counted more than 20 copper coins in the basket, and almost didn’t laugh out loud. He bought a bowl of small wonton stew for three Wen in a very extravagant way, and even drank the soup. If it’s not too embarrassing If so, I can't wait to lick a little bit of oil on the bowl again, feel satisfied with my stomach that finally feels a little full, buy two steamed buns in a street shop, and walk towards the pier...

"Father, this way, this way!"

In the peak season for freight traffic on the wharf, even at noon, there are ships coming and going, and the sky is full of enthusiasm.

Gou Sheng waited for Liu Datie and the others to finish their work before jumping up and shouting.

Liu Datie whispered a few words to Brother Chen, and walked over quickly.

"Hurry up, dad, it's still hot!" Gou Sheng handed over two white and fat steamed buns wrapped in oil paper.

"Smelly, stinky boy, you spent your money!" Liu Datie shrank suddenly as if he had been scalded.

At noon, the coolies on the wharf took advantage of their free time and gathered together in twos and threes to eat dry food, and a few generous people bought pancakes and other food from the nearby stalls.

Naturally, Liu Datie was reluctant to spend that money, and he didn't have to bring his own dry food. If there were no accidents, Liu Datie planned to endure it hard!

"Here, I will return your four copper coins, don't worry..." Gou Sheng handed Liu Datie the copper coins he had already counted, and honestly explained his affairs.

No matter how many coppers there are, you have to count over and over again before you feel relieved. This is a bad habit Gousheng has had since he knew that he could count for no reason!

"Dog, dog leftover, that's, it's the nobles..." Liu Datie rubbed his hands and said.

"Pick it up, Dad, I have to work after I'm full, and Uncle Chen will call you later!" Gou Sheng urged, stuffing the steamed buns over.

Liu Datie swallowed hard, and finally couldn't help but eat...

When Gousheng arrived in Dongshi in the afternoon, he barely breathed out his lungs.

That kid, that kid—no wonder he followed all the way, now, that kid is doing the same thing while moving the exact same wooden steps, even the words in his mouth haven't changed.

Gou Sheng swallowed hard the suffocation in his chest, earning money is the most important thing, otherwise he will be hungry tomorrow - so he gave the kid a hard look, and raised a smiling face to welcome the next carriage.

The two temporarily "worked" together for an afternoon with a "tacit understanding", taking turns finding employers and employers.

When the weather gradually cooled down, unless there were any unexpected circumstances, there were very few carriages coming over.

The mountain official smiled for a long time, his face immediately darkened, and he hugged the wooden steps to leave.

"Hey, stop!" Gou Sheng chased after him with a stride, and grabbed the mountain official's clothes.

"Follow, run! Hurry up!" Shan Guan dragged Gou Sheng around in the small alley, ran for a while, did not know how many detours he made, and then returned to his home like a thief, looked around a few times In an instant, he quickly closed the courtyard door.

"You, what are you doing, what?" Gou Sheng asked out of breath.

Shan Guan didn't answer, and gave Gou Sheng a look, then turned and entered the room.

"...Where did you go to play around, little brat..."

Immediately there was a woman's shouting and cursing.

"Here, mother, go buy some meat tonight and bring back some meat for my father and younger brothers and sisters to eat!" The mountain official handed over the fifteen copper coins that he had already counted.

After Shi Niang took it and put it away carefully, she asked suspiciously, "Where did you get the money?"

"I earned it myself, mother, go quickly, it's time to close the market later!" The mountain official picked up Yiyi's little brother who crawled over, pulled the jacket that was shrunk together, and said calmly.

Shi Niang brushed her hair, and didn't ask any more questions, "If your father wakes up, tell him, don't tell him to get up, mother will be right back!"

The mountain official responded, and when Shi Niang went out, he took out a small oiled paper bag from his arms, and took out two pieces of dusty candy.

"Come on, Huaya, big brother give me candy!"

The little girl with messy yellow hair who had been huddled in the corner moved, secretly looking at the dusty candy in the mountain official's hand.

"Mother isn't here, Hua Ya, don't be afraid!" The mountain official knelt down and put the candy in the little girl's thin hand, "Eat it quickly!"

Hua Ya responded softly, and stuffed two pieces of candy into her mouth in a panic, a small bump bulged out on her cheek, which was no bigger than a palm...

Back then, when Shiniang first married Shanguan's father, Shao Daxing, it was a good time in this area. Shao Daxing was handsome, could read a few words, knew how to settle accounts, and worked with the big shopkeeper in the shop. Dude, he is very promising, but unfortunately the good times only lasted for a year or two, Shao Daxing fell ill, and the nephew of the second shopkeeper took the place in the shop, Shao Daxing was anxious and angry, and worked hard in the shop again After working the hardest and most tiring job for half a year, he failed to win back his decent position, but his health went from bad to worse. In the past two years, the weather was a little colder and he couldn't get out of bed anymore.

Shi Niang is also capable, a woman supports the family's food and clothing expenses, and Shao Daxing still has some family background, so life is not bad, but in those few years when Shao Daxing was still in bed, the two of them lived one after another. After raising seven or eight dolls, Shan Guan was the first one to support him, and the rest only survived the little girl Huaya, and the third son was just born last year.

Such continuous childbirth and premature death only made the family completely impoverished. At the same time, Shi Niang's temperament also changed. She was particularly annoyed by Hua Ya, the daughter of a "losing money" and "dead brother"...

The little San'er, who was about to turn one year old in a month, seemed to smell the sweetness, and went straight to the mountain official's arms!

"Glutton!"

The mountain official took out another piece of candy, bit a small half and fed it into Xiao San'er's mouth, and helped him wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.

San'er's tiny mouth twitched immediately, and she narrowed her eyes with a joyful smile...

That night, there was a mouth-watering smell of meat floating over there!

In the utility room in this room, Gou Sheng was terrified by the incomprehensible stare of the mountain official. After a while, he jumped up angrily, and accidentally bumped into the tip of a broken object. Did not shed tears...

The spring shipping on the wharf has been forgotten for about ten days and half a month. The next peak season will have to wait until the autumn grain harvest, and there will be a peak season for grain transportation. On weekdays, Brother Chen has a fixed number of people to do the work. Enough is enough, Liu Datie made an agreement with Brother Chen to come back next time the family collects the food, and the conditions are still the same as this time!

In the past half month, there have been many children moving wooden steps at Dongshikou, and several disputes have arisen due to the scrambling. Sooner or later, they will run into those official wives. The coachman has already started to prepare the wooden steps on the car, and the dog left will not be gone for a few days...
