The second uncle was a little weird today and didn't come to the store all morning.
Fortunately, because of Su Yimei, Huang Jiu and I were not hungry.
My second uncle didn’t leave me the key to the store, so I couldn’t leave to eat, so Su Yimei called Huang Jiu and me, “You can afford it.”
When I heard such a name, I was still a little bit confused.
What kind of thing can you afford to chew?
When the things arrived and I saw the words on the packaging, I was glad that I didn't ask too much, otherwise it would have been a joke.
The food is delicious, I have never had it before.
For a time, I had a better impression of Su Yimei.
Huang Jiu also smiled happily.
After dinner, Su Yimei left if she had something to do, leaving Huang Jiu and I to guard the front door.
Fortunately, in this kind of store, only one person may enter in ten and a half months, so this industry is a small circle, with no reputation and no connections, and basically everyone depends on their reputation.
After noon, the second uncle still didn't come back.
At about one o'clock, a middle-aged woman with a child came outside the door.
The little girl looks about four or five years old and is very thin.
Judging by the clothes the mother and daughter were wearing, they looked like they were from the countryside.
I say this not to discriminate against them, but the way country people dress and the way people in the city dress are basically the same at a glance.
After all, I am from the countryside and I know best.
The middle-aged woman was a little cautious. After looking at her for a few times, she came in nervously and asked at the door: "Master, are you here to ask questions?"
I couldn't see carefully through the glass just now.
As soon as the mother and daughter came in, I frowned.
As the old saying goes, men are afraid of the first year of the lunar month and women are afraid of the fifteenth year. The twelve zodiac signs rotate, and women must not be born in the year of the sheep.
The general meaning is that men born on the first day of the lunar month will mostly have a bad life.
Women born on the 15th and born in the year of Sheep will have a bad fate and be poor throughout their lives.
The eldest sister in front of me has done both, with a grimace on her face.
When my eyes fell on the timid little girl, I couldn't help but feel startled. I quickly stood up and went to meet her, asking: "Sister, are you having trouble at home, or..."
Seeing me taking the initiative to talk to me, the eldest sister behaved in a friendly manner and became less reserved. She straightened her messy hair and asked sheepishly: "Is it expensive here?"
In our line of work, we talk about money when we come to your door, and most of the time things will turn ugly.
As for the reason, everyone with a discerning eye knows it.
Of course, when we ask to speak up first, we also leave a way out for ourselves so that we can evaluate our abilities.
Otherwise, if you open your mouth, things will not get done and your sign will be ruined.
Grandpa is half-assed, but he is very particular about the rules.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the eldest sister panicked a little, took the little girl and started to leave.
Poor people, a penny weighs on their backs.
I caught up and said, "Sister, you're already here, come in first and have a drink of water!"
After the warm invitation, the eldest sister shyly sat on the chair and hugged the little girl tightly with her calloused hands.
The little girl is very thin, pitifully thin.
However, her big eyes are bright and bright, but if you pay a little attention, you will find that her pupils are slightly narrow and yellowish, not the normal convex shape.
Seeing me staring at her, the little girl was a little scared and threw herself into her mother's arms to hide.
I calmly poked the lying corpse of Huang Jiu, and it jumped up. It was so angry that it wanted to curse, but when it saw the mother and daughter, it wisely closed its mouth.
As soon as the little girl saw Huang Jiu, she cried "Wow" and shouted to leave.
Huang Jiu grinned, green light flashed in his little eyes, and the little girl immediately became quiet.
The child's crying made the eldest sister a little embarrassed and she became more reserved.
Fortunately, Huang Jiuhui came up with something and rolled a few times on the table, which immediately made the little girl smile.
After a while, Huang Jiu was teasing the little girl to play in the store.
I didn’t want to hear about the suffering in the world, and I didn’t dare to hear about it, so I asked my eldest sister to pick out the key points.
The little girl's name is Tingting. She was originally fat and white, and she was a cute child.
But starting one day half a year ago, Tingting became anorexic and refused to eat anything.
Within a few days, the eldest sister discovered that Tingting would secretly eat raw eggs in rice baskets and nibble on raw bacon hanging on the eaves.
As long as Tingting is stopped, she will cry and fuss, and when she gets angry, she will make scary hissing sounds from her mouth.
In the past two months, Tingting's condition has worsened. At night, she burrows into the chicken coop like a wild beast, biting the chicken's neck. She doesn't eat the meat, but only sucks the blood.
The eldest sister was frightened, so she collected some money and took Tingting to the city for medical treatment. However, after staying for a month, all the money was spent, and Tingting's condition still did not improve, and she still refused to eat or drink.
It happened that there was a kind-hearted uncle in the next bed yesterday who asked the eldest sister to take Tingting to find a gentleman to ask questions.
As a result, the eldest sister walked half a street and when I asked, she either refused to answer or the charge was too high.
I added water to the eldest sister, comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the child will be fine once he comes out of my door. But you still have to go back to the hospital and let the doctor give you nutritional injections. The child will be discharged after he recovers a little." Home."
Tingting is too thin, and her thin neck makes me worried. I am afraid that if she runs too hard, her head will fall off her neck.
The eldest sister didn't react for a moment and looked at me blankly.
I stood up and took the snacks on the table, tore open the bag and waved to Tingting.
The little girl was a little timid and hesitant, but she still couldn't bear the smell of the potato chips. She carefully reached out to take them and ate them in front of her mother.
The eldest sister looked shocked. She pulled Tingting over and kissed her again and again. She held her in her arms and cried with joy. She also expressed her gratitude to me.
Rural people are so simple and honest. The eldest sister did not ask why the child suddenly became well, nor did she question me. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket with trembling hands.
When I see the handkerchief, I think of my mother.
"Sister!" I pressed her hand, "Don't give her any money. Take the child back to the hospital while it's still early. Follow the doctor's instructions and take good care of her for a few days!"
The eldest sister said nothing, so she put four five-dollar bills and ten one-dollar bills on the table.
I couldn't resist her, so I took the money, but gave her some snacks that Su Yimei had brought.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, Huang Jiu jumped on the table and said, "I asked you to look after the store. Sooner or later it will be over."
"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?" I glared at Huang Jiu.
Huang Jiudao: "I caught a little earthworm!"
It said, buttoning it in its butt pocket and taking out a small green snake as thick as a little finger.
Although the snake was small, it was covered with a layer of cyan mist, and its eyes as big as sesame seeds were cold and ruthless, which made me shudder.
Fortunately, Huang Jiu pinched it seven inches, so it couldn't do anything.
Huang Jiu asked: "How about keeping it?"
The eldest sister didn't talk about what happened at home, but I could tell that it was a family that was in trouble. It was precisely because of the bad luck in the family that this worm took advantage of it.
This kind of inhumane cold-blooded animal cannot be raised. After all, not everyone can compare with Xu Xian.
I waved my hand and said, "Kill him!"
When Huang Jiu heard this, he pinched the little green snake and stuffed it into his mouth like eating spicy strips.
