I eat wife cake on the fifteenth of every month

The street outside the house was quiet, with occasional dogs barking from the end of the alley.

Under the bean lamplight, Yuan Nai was sitting by the bed, leaning his elbows on the wooden dressing table, his palm-sized face was pale.

"Xixi... help my sister find some medicinal wine."

While giving Yue Ji instructions, she lowered her head to examine the wound on her elbow, the blood was already dark, and the wound might have stuck to the fabric.

Yue Ji took a deep look at her, then turned her head to look for alcohol and Dieda wine in the room. When she found it, Yuan Nai had already unbuttoned the side of her chest with one hand, revealing two flowers embroidered inside. The bright yellow bellyband of gladiolus.

She wanted to take off the top, the only way to minimize the pain of the wound.

But she forgot that the injured right hand couldn't move half a minute, and it was impossible to take off the whole dress with the other hand alone.

Yue Ji put the medicinal wine on the cabinet and stood in front of her, her eyes swept across her delicate and attractive collarbone and the bellyband underneath.

He was so happy that he almost wanted to punish this woman on the spot.

Yuan Nai's shoulders twisted a few times, but she couldn't get rid of the clothes, bit her lip, and wanted to ask Yue Ji to bring her a pair of scissors so she could cut it open, but when she raised her eyes, she saw someone standing in front of her.

Subconsciously, she gathered her clothes to cover her chest, and asked in embarrassment, "Xixi, what are you looking at?"

The room was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

With Yue Ji's back against the light, the curvature of the corner of her mouth was just hidden in the darkness, so Yuan Nai couldn't see clearly.

She tilted her head suddenly, and asked in a very childish tone, "Nai Nai, why am I here with you..."

Pointing to her chest, "Different?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Nai was stunned for a moment, as if suspecting that she had heard wrongly, why would she ask this?

But after thinking about it, it is normal for children to have such questions at this age.

But after all, everyone was born as a lady, and she couldn't say those words to a child, so she evaded it with a few vague words, pushed Yue Ji with her hand, and asked her to bring her a pair of scissors.

Yue Ji saw that she was in severe pain, so she didn't ask any further questions.

After a while, after a burst of searching, she came over with scissors, Yuan Nai wanted to take it, but was stopped, Yue Ji raised her hand and said, "Let me do it, your hands are not convenient, It's easy to hurt yourself."

"OK then."

The top of the brocade fabric was cut with a big opening along the arm, and the long sleeves were separated from the torso, revealing a small section of fair complexion.

Yue Ji narrowed her eyes, turned her gaze to the wound, and reminded her, "I'm going to expose it."

"Expose it—"

As soon as Yuan Nai finished speaking, he felt the wound cool down, followed by a tingling pain that spread from the elbow along the meridians all over the body like a spider web.

Gritting his teeth, he endured it.

Yue Ji didn't stop for half a minute, disinfected with medicinal wine and tied a bandage.Hearing this almost imperceptible muffled hum made her stare at the woman in front of her complicatedly for a long while.

A fine layer of sweat broke out on Yuan Nai's forehead.

Yue Ji stepped forward and patted her on the back lightly, and said comfortingly, "Nai Nai, is it still hurting?"

Yuan Nai shook his head, wanting to see how his wound was being treated, but when he accidentally met Kaegoshi's eyes, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Why does she feel that her eyes are a little straight?

She looked down and saw her bellyband.

Silently, she secretly covered her chest, even though her back was bare|exposed.

It's not good to look like this in front of children, she thought.

Yue Ji didn't change her expression and took her movements under her eyes. When she covered her chest with her hands, she reached out and took Yuan Nai's hand away, and then continued to remove the material that was half hanging on her chest.

"Nai Nai, let me help you take off the rest of your clothes so that you won't touch the wound when you sleep."

Yue Ji felt that it was too late to find her reason.

But Yuan Nai brushed her hand away, "Xixi, don't make trouble."

She turned around and found herself a looser obscene dress to put on, blocking off all the spring|colors that were too late or too late to appreciate.

Yuan Nai was packing things by the bed, Yue Ji saw that the person dangling in front of her was fully dressed, and felt disappointed, thinking that she was going to sleep with her in a bellyband tonight.

Everything was almost packed, Yue Ji lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, "Why hasn't that woman come over yet, why are you so dawdling?"

"Nai Nai?" She called out to the small hall.

"Xixi, you go to bed first, I'll be there soon." Yuan Nai's voice came softly from the hall, Yue Ji "oh" and waited for a long time.

The moonlight was clear outside, and it was already midnight.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yue Ji folded her arms around her chest, turned over, and simply got up.

"What are you doing?" Yue Ji walked to her side, watching her write and draw.

Her handwriting is like a person, dignified and elegant.

"Calculate the accounts." Yuan Nai did not raise his head, listing the expenses item by item, muttering from time to time.

"If only I had been more careful just now, I wouldn't have been robbed by the gangsters."

Yuan Nai paused, staring in a daze at the last unexpected expense.

Because the amount was huge, it almost took up half of their belongings, and if they were robbed for no reason, they might cry like ordinary people.

Yue Ji stared at her, is this woman sad?

"Forget it," Yuan Nai smiled suddenly, and closed the account book with a sense of relief, "Sometimes there must be something in fate, and there is always time in fate, so don't force it."

She turned her head to Yue Ji and said, "Right, Xixi?"

Yue Ji: ... Don't think that I can understand your babbling language just because I can speak Chinese.

Yuan Nai saw her staying in the same place in a daze, and then realized that she probably didn't understand their classical Chinese, so she smiled, and took her hand, "Xixi, let's go back to sleep."

Yue Ji still couldn't understand that sentence, and when she heard this sentence, she immediately came to her senses, "Sleep? Together?"

Yuan Nai nodded, and blew out the light before entering the room, "What else? My sister doesn't have much money to buy you a bed, so I can only wrong you to sleep with my sister."

Yue Ji followed her, with inexplicable excitement shining in her eyes, "Shall we take off our clothes and go to sleep?"

"What clothes are you taking off?"

Yuan Nai had doubts in his eyes, and reached out to touch Yue Ji's forehead, "You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The light in Yue Ji's eyes suddenly went out, and she was very unhappy, "So, we are still wearing clothes?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yuan Nai also blew out the lights in the room, "Go to bed early."

Yue Ji: "..."

The quilt on the bed was lifted, covering both of them.

In the dark, the more Ji Yue thought about it, the more she felt bad. If she kept acting like this, with a child's body and an adult heart, would this woman only be her sister?

As soon as this possibility came out, Yue Ji immediately denied it without thinking.

Be a ghost sister!

She has to eat the tofu of the woman who is Yue Ji!

Early the next morning, Yue Ji shook hands for no reason while she was sleeping soundly, but it was empty.

Something is wrong.

What about the woman's breasts?Shrunk?

Frightened by some imagination, Yue Ji quickly opened her eyes, only to find that the bed beside her was empty.

Inexplicably relieved, she was hugging a quilt, buried her head deeply in it, and could still smell a fragrance that belonged to that woman.

"Nana?"

After a simple wash, I searched inside and out, but couldn't find anyone, and finally my eyes fell on a piece of paper on the desk.

Yue Ji picked it up and glanced at it.

Xixi, although what happened last night is irreversible, life has to go on, the family is getting more and more financially poor, and my sister is out looking for a job, hope it is good.

The inscription is Yuan Nai's name.

look for a job?

What can she do as a woman who can't carry her on her shoulders?

Yue Ji stared at the paper in her hand, and it took her a long time to read between the lines the information that her family was so poor that she couldn't get rid of it.

No way, didn't this woman say she weighed 5 pounds?

5 pounds is 50 yuan, enough for them to live for several months.

Wait, the 5 pounds shouldn't be a whole sheet, right?

Yue Ji went back to the room and opened the lowest drawer, and there was a piece of blue cloth lying quietly inside.

She remembered that the woman took money out of this piece of fabric before she went out yesterday.

Unfold the fabric little by little.

Suddenly, I understood what it means to be poor.

"Shumai, freshly baked siu mai—"

The most prosperous Wenqing Road in Haicheng is spacious and open, and there are many shops on both sides. A driver came out early in the morning and parked his rickshaw at the soup noodle restaurant to pay for it.

"Okay! A bowl of noodle soup doesn't need green onions!"

Yuan Nai was standing at the gate of Xunyang Academy not far away, wearing a long milky white skirt that reached to the ankle, and a top with a waist-tight blue emerald smoked sweater, brocade grosgrain, loose cuffs to fit the slender wrists, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads .She was standing under the eaves of the academy where the light and shadow intertwined, her autumn pupils were half closed, as if she was thinking, her temperament was gentle and moving.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes, her eyes seemed to be broken into light, and looked at the elderly dean in front of her, "Can I really work as a foreign language teacher here, Dean Zhang?"

Dean Zhang stroked his goatee and laughed heartily, "Miss Yuan, of course, you also know that you have passed the test just now, and you already have this ability. It must be an honor for our students to teach you." .”

"To tell you the truth, don't look at the frequent visits of foreigners at the pier near us. In fact, there are very few people in Haicheng who can speak foreign languages. Even if there are, they are the children of dignitaries. How can these people condescend to teach? Bar?"

Yuan Nai awkwardly stood on the spot and laughed with her. After accepting the employment letter from Dean Zhang, she nodded her goodbye and became more and more depressed.

Dean Zhang's words echoed in his ears all the time, the son of a nobleman... She was never the same, how glorious the Yuan family used to be, but no one remembered it after a heavy blow.

Before her mother died, she asked her to forget the pain of family destruction and live a good life. She was not allowed to commit suicide, and she was not allowed to degenerate.

Yuan Nai stood on the opposite side of the street, staring blankly at the Yuan family with the white seal on it. The joyous scenes of family reunion in the past reappeared before his eyes, and then disappeared bit by bit.

The joy of finding a job in my heart was completely overwhelmed by the surging sorrow.

"Selling newspapers! The eldest son of the Xu family in Haicheng burns glazed porcelain!"

A simple boy of thirteen or fourteen shouted past Yuan Nai, "Master Xu's family in Haicheng burns glazed porcelain!"

Before he could take two steps, the boy was surrounded by people. Someone was eager to read the contents of the newspaper, and asked the price, "How much is a newspaper seller?!"

"Three copper coins."

"Come here!"

"okay!"

"I'll have one too!"

After a large group of people bought the newspaper, they dispersed one after another, leaving behind the young man who had earned a small bag of copper coins to count the copper coins seriously on the spot with a smile on his face.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Nai also smiled, and most of the inexplicable sadness in her heart disappeared. Not everyone is born with smooth sailing, and even children younger than her come out to take charge of their families to earn money and live their lives to their fullest.

Compared with her own, her family is irretrievably broken, her family has passed away, she did not commit suicide, and she did not give up on herself, and now she has found a job, living a good life according to her mother's wishes may be the greatest comfort to her mother.

"Hey, you have a newspaper in your hand, why didn't you sell it just now? Little sister, are you a fool?"

It was still the boy's voice, Yuan Nai didn't intend to listen to it, and was going home, there was a child waiting for her to make dinner at home.

However, after only two steps, a familiar voice came from behind her, which shocked her whole body.

"Don't call me little sister, kid, I'm older than you, and what's the matter with you if I sell it or not?"
