The next morning, Shi Shi woke up early.
Uncle Tang was lying on the bed and heard a burst of noise from next door.
He woke up from his sleep involuntarily.
He climbed out of bed and walked slowly over.
When Shitou saw Uncle Tang walking in, he said politely: "Good morning, Uncle Tang!"
Uncle Tang replied: "You're welcome Stone!" I'll take you over to wash up!
Shitou thanked him: Thank you, Uncle Tang!
"Stone, from now on we will live under the same roof. Thank you from the left and thank you from the right!" Tang Bo said:
"Uncle Tang, you don't want to hear it!" Shitou responded:
Uncle Tang continued: "It's not that I don't like hearing it. You talk like you're singing, and it makes my ears tingle."
Shitou stepped forward and replied: "What Uncle Tang taught me is that I must pay attention to it in the future."
"Uncle Tang, I'm sorry! I made you sleep so much!" Shitou continued:
Uncle Tang walked into the outside room and said: Shitou, you can use my towel to wash your face for now. I will ask Ping'er to buy two for you in the afternoon.
Shitou thanked him: Thank you Tang!
Uncle Tang poured hot water into the face plate and interrupted: I just told you that you forgot so quickly.
Shitou called out: Uncle Tang, my gratitude to you is so deep in my heart that I cannot express it in words. I will bury Uncle Tang’s life-saving grace deep in my heart. There will inevitably be people who disturb Uncle Tang in the future. I hope Uncle Tang will forgive me!
As he spoke, Shi Shi bowed deeply.
Tang Bo grabbed Shi Shi and said: Shi Shi, what are you doing! I am a businessman, and I am away from home all year round. I know your situation and your mood at the moment best. I help you, which is tantamount to helping myself. I observe his behavior, and you have the ability of a general. Feng, who is polite and courteous, will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
But I don’t know! Why are you running here?
Shitou sneered and said: I have the style of a general. I am not an ordinary person. I am more ordinary than anyone else. To tell you the truth, I will not come here because my family is poor.
"People have good luck, and temporary honor and disgrace, it is nothing! It is difficult for a hero to escape. No matter how great the difficulty is, it will eventually have a period of time. No matter how thick the dark clouds are, they will eventually clear the clouds and see the blue sky..." Tang Bo advised:
"Thank you, Uncle Tang, for your enlightenment!" Shitou thanked:
"Shitou, you're here again." Tang Bo replied:
Shitou smiled and said: No thanks, Shitou, no thanks.
Tang Bo said: Shitou, you wash up here, I'll wake up my wife.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Hongping barged in and asked: Mr. Master, what do you want from me?
Shitou asked: Good morning, Aunt Tang!
Xu Hongping smiled at Shitou.
Uncle Tang called out: Ping'er, wake up. Go make some food quickly. Shitou is starving. He didn't even eat yesterday's dinner.
Xu Hongping turned around and replied: I'll go right away.
Shi Shi hung a towel and shouted: Aunt Tang, wait, I will go with you.
Xu Hongping said in surprise: Come with me.
"Yes, I'll go with you." Shitou continued:
Xu Hongping said: Wow! You follow me.
Shitou followed Xu Hongping to the outer room (the outer room is next to the kitchen).
He saw a step machine inside and various insoles beside it.
He wondered: Aunt Tang, what is this room for?
Xu Hongping replied: This room is specially used for sewing clothes, and that is a sewing machine.
Shitou continued: Are these insoles also made by sewing machines?
Xu Hongping praised: Shitou, you are so smart.
Shitou said: Shitou is not smart. Shitou's family is poor and he has never studied since he was a child...
"Stones, heroes don't care where they come from, and whether their family background is good or bad, they are not the standard for measuring people..." Xu Hongping walked into the kitchen and hurriedly lit the fire.
"It can't measure people, but it can affect a person. I'm tired of other people's sarcastic comments." Shitou called:
Xu Hongping responded: Shitou, your words are not unreasonable. The impact of family background on a person is indeed not small.
Shitou replied: Who says it’s not! I'm an example.
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, please bring the stool next to you.
Shitou picked up the stool and shouted: Aunt Tang, I'll light the fire.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Can you do it?
Shitou replied: I can do it, I was at home before...
The machine outside made a "click-click" sound.
Shitou listened to the voice and asked: Aunt Tang, outside?
Xu Hongping replied while washing the vegetables: "Stone, it is the sound of a sewing machine. If you listen to it twice more, you will get used to it."
Shitou walked to the door of the kitchen and "looked around". He saw Erfeng stepping on the sewing machine and shouted: Sister Erfeng, are you sewing!
Erfeng replied: I won't sew clothes today, I will sew insoles.
Shitou walked out of the kitchen and said: How to make these insoles!
Erfeng said hesitantly (the two of them were young and ignorant, and they were very shy when talking to each other.): These insoles are, yes, made like this.
Because the distance between them is three or four meters.
I can't see the stone clearly at all!
So he stood on tiptoe.
"Shitou, can you come closer and take a closer look?" Erfeng said:
Shitou took two steps forward and "had a look."
He still couldn't see clearly.
Shi Shi suppressed his heartbeat and stepped forward.
Erfeng's back was like a magnet - attracting him.
Her face instantly turned red.
Shitou stood behind Erfeng, his whole body becoming numb.
"Er Feng, you come in and serve the dishes. I'll eat after I finish cooking this dish!" Xu Hongping shouted:
Erfeng stopped what he was doing and stood up.
When she turned to leave.
The stone kicked in the same direction.
Erfeng's lips just touched Shi Shi's cheek.
Unfortunately, Tang Bo bumped into this scene inside.
Erfeng immediately pushed the stone away.
She tidied up her clothes and walked straight out of the house.
"Er Feng, why don't you come in and serve the food!" Xu Hongping shouted:
Erfeng walked into the kitchen and said: I'm here.
"Uncle Tang, let's go out to eat." Shitou said shyly:
"Dad, let's go eat." Erfeng called:
Uncle Tang replied: Yes.
Xu Hongping followed up and praised: "Stone is so good, you even helped me light the fire."
Shitou lifted his feet and replied: Aunt Tang, I feel very sorry for eating and drinking at your house. After much thought, I will stay for two more days and then leave...
"Where are you going!" Xu Hongping continued:
Stone replied: I don't know.
Xu Hongping said: Shitou, you have no relatives or friends here, so you just stay in our house.
Of course, if you think our home’s conditions are poor and our hospitality isn’t good enough!
Shitou interrupted: Aunt Tang, what are you talking about? Stones have fallen here, and it can be said that not a single meal can satisfy me. I was lucky enough to meet Uncle Tang yesterday, and fortunately he came to my rescue. He also troubled Aunt Tang to provide me with good food and good food. How dare I dislike it!
Xu Hongping responded: Since you don't mind it, can you not mention this matter? My husband often goes out on business, and we are the only ones left at home. We sew some insoles to sell, but we don’t have enough manpower. I intend to keep you here, so you can help me out.
"Aunt Tang, you're not afraid!" Shitou continued:
Xu Hongping replied: What am I afraid of!
Shitou said: I am a foreigner.
Moreover, he is still a man.
Xu Hongping stared at Shitou and said: Shitou, you are an honest person, we have confidence in you.
Unless, you don't believe in yourself.
Shitou said blankly: Me!
"Shitou's hands and feet are clumsy. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Aunt Tang's expectations!" Shitou continued:
Xu Hongping called out: Shitou, if you are willing to stay at our house, everything will be easy to discuss.
"Shitou, come and eat quickly." Uncle Tang shouted:
Shitou gathered around the table and said thank you, Uncle Tang! Thank you Aunt Tang! Thank you, Sister Erfeng! Thanks!
"Shitou, hurry up and eat." Tang Bo smiled and said:
Shitou looked at Uncle Tang and replied: Uncle Tang, you can eat too.
"Shitou, our family is no better than those wealthy families. We always like to talk about etiquette. What do you like to eat? You can pick it up yourself. You can order whatever you want." Xu Hongping brought over a bowl of rice and said:
Shitou raised his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'm not welcome."
After saying this, he kept putting vegetables into the vegetable bowl.
Xu Hongping praised: Yes! right! right! That's right, I like it. When we live together in the future, there will inevitably be friction between us, and there are some areas that need to be adjusted...
"Mom, who wants to live with him?" Erfeng said:
"The stone was left at our house for work!" Xu Hongping said:
Uncle Tang responded: "It's a good thing if the stone stays in our house."
"Ping'er, how much salary do you give him per month?" Uncle Tang asked:
Shitou said: Uncle Tang, didn't you chase me away again? Uncle Tang’s family kindly took me in!
"Stone, a favor is a favor, and work is a work. If you do the work, our family will give you money. That is only natural." Tang Bo called:
"My husband is right, giving you wages is a matter of course." Xu Hongping continued:
Shitou replied: As for the wages, you can just pay them as you see fit. You don't need to discuss it with me.
Besides, my hands and feet are clumsy, so I don’t know whether you will be satisfied or not.
Xu Hongping explained: Shitou, you came to work in our house, not as a slave in our house. If you work for our house, we have to pay you wages.
Whether we are satisfied or not!
Shitou said: This matter is quite new.
"Stone, how much do you want per month? You decide the price yourself." Tang Bo asked further:
Shitou replied: I have never done this before! Just ask Aunt Tang to negotiate a price!
Xu Hongping looked at Uncle Tang and shouted: How about 250 yuan!
After hearing this, Shitou was confused and asked: Aunt Tang, how much is 250 yuan?
Uncle Tang said: The 250 yuan Ping'er said means 5 cents.
Shitou said: Oh! Please forgive Shi Shi for being ignorant!
Uncle Tang continued: Shitou, you stay at home and don't travel far. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it.
Shitou called out: Uncle Tang, I haven't asked you yet! What is the name of your place!
Tang Bo replied: We are a small village here, called Dongwan, which is under the jurisdiction of Hubei and Jingmen.
Shitou responded: Hubei, it is not far from our Hunan!
"They are neighboring provinces."
"They are next to each other, right?"
Uncle Tang smiled and said: They are close to each other.
Shitou asked: How far is this place from my hometown?
Uncle Tang thought for a while and said: I have to calculate carefully how far they are before I can reply to you.
Generally speaking, they are quite far apart.
Xu Hongping asked: Shitou, are you full?
Shitou nodded and replied: I'm full.
"Erfeng, please clear the table." Xu Hongping shouted:
Erfeng replied: Mom, you are still eating.
Xu Hongping continued: I can clean up my bowl myself.
After the meal, the sky began to clear.
Xu Hongping walked into the living room and called: Shitou, I'm going to go to the pigsty to put some straw again.
Wait a minute, you accompany me to the town.
Shitou asked: Aunt Tang, is the town far from here?
Xu Hongping said: The town is not far from our village. It takes half a stick of incense to get there. Wait a minute, I will go there to sell insoles, and you and I will go and get familiar with the environment.
Shitou replied: OK.
"Ping'er, I'll go with you too." Uncle Tang shouted:
Xu Hongping raised her head and said, "You can go if you want. I didn't stop you."
Uncle Tang pulled Xu Hongping out of the house and whispered: Ping'er, let's go to the pigsty.
Xu Hongping stared at Uncle Tang and muttered: Why are your eyelids blinking?
Uncle Tang pushed Xu Hongping and said, "You have to leave quickly!"
Shitou wandered innocently in the middle of the living room.
The sewing machine in the back room kept buzzing.
When Shitou heard the noise inside, he not only remembered what happened in the morning.
He stayed in place, not daring to move, and stared straight ahead.
Xu Hongping walked into the pig pen and scattered the straw neatly.
"Ping'er, guess what I saw this morning!" Uncle Tang called:
Xu Hongping responded: What did you see! Tell me quickly!
Uncle Tang continued: It happened so fast that people can’t believe it.
"Why can't you believe it! Only if you say it, will someone believe it." Xu Hongping replied:
Uncle Tang lowered his voice and whispered: Ping'er, Erfeng kissed the stone.
Xu Hongping shouted: Tang Jin, what nonsense are you talking about! How is it possible for Erfeng!
Uncle Tang replied: Please keep your voice down, I tell you, I personally saw Erfeng kissing the stone face in the morning...
"You stinky girl, you hide it quite deep." Xu Hongping said with a smile:
Xu Hongping was stunned and said: No! The stones just arrived at our house, and we stayed by their side and never left. How could they have time?
Uncle Tang interrupted: "When they stayed outside in the morning, you asked Erfeng to serve the dishes!"
Xu Hongping clapped her hands and said: Good thing, we were worried that Erfeng would not marry, and now this problem has been solved.
"When we were eating this morning, no wonder your expressions were a little reserved and uncomfortable." Xu Hongping continued:
Uncle Tang said: When I met them, their faces were as red as red paper.
special! It's Erfeng.
Xu Hongping squeezed Uncle Tang with her shoulders and joked: Old man, we were not the same back then, when we were young!
Uncle Tang said: Ping'er, do you really want Erfeng and Shitou to be together...
"Don't you want to! The stone man is not bad, our Erfeng followed him!" Xu Hongping continued:
"But we have known each other for less than two days." Tang Bo responded:
"You are also a person of several decades. People understand each other's right and wrong, and it is not related to the nature of people, okay!" Xu Hongping argued:
Uncle Tang muttered: Ping'er is right. Let's not disturb them first. Let's take a look and then talk.
Xu Hongping replied: This is like a human saying.
At noon, the sun shines overhead.
Xu Hongping came to the market with the stone.
Shitou came to the market for the first time. He was in a good mood and looked around.
Xu Hongping said: We go to the market every few days here, and today is the day for us to go to the market.
Shitou replied: It's the same with us.
However, I rarely go to the market.
Xu Hongping asked: Shitou, are you happy coming to the market?
Shitou replied: I'm happy that the street is so lively...
"Shitou, please help us, we will sell insoles here." Xu Hongping set up a factory shed and called:
The stone pulled the factory shed and said: Aunt Tang, do you want to tie it up here?
"You hold on first." Xu Hongping responded:
Xu Hongping waved her hand and shouted: Selling insoles! Breathable and non-sweating, thick and beautiful insoles, you will earn money after buying them, and you will buy insoles after making money...
