Sun Ergou asked someone for this money, and it was five cents a day.
A meal only costs about one and a half penny.
At such a meal expense, Sun Ergou felt a little sorry for such a sumptuous meal.
Not to mention the meat, the scallion oil rolls and this porridge alone are things you can't buy for half a penny.
Sun Ergou was a little embarrassed. He didn't use his chopsticks to pick up the meat and eggs, and just silently took two bites of the cold lettuce.
Lettuce grows in the vegetable field, so it shouldn't cost any extra money, and it can help save some money.
Jiang Michia's family saw clearly and probably understood the reason why Sun Ergou was like this.
Jiang Youcheng took two large pieces of pork head and said, "Eat it, don't make a fool of yourself." (Fake words: It means shyness, wanting to eat but being embarrassed to eat.)
"Uncle Cheng, I..." Sun Ergou was a little embarrassed.
"Eat more. Only when you are full can you have strength. When you have strength, you can help our family look after the workshop. Then we can rest assured. Otherwise, if someone wants to go to the workshop to cause trouble at night, you are like a bean sprout, how can you behave like this? Fight?"
Jiang Youcheng said, "This meal only costs a few dollars. If you can do this job well, it will be equivalent to making more money for our family."
Sun Ergou felt that what Jiang Youcheng said made sense, so he stuffed the pig head meat in the bowl into his mouth.
Don't tell me, this pork head meat tastes really good.
It's inexplicably sweet.
Sun Ergou narrowed his eyes.
After staying in the workshop for a few days, Sun Ergou became more and more familiar with the various tasks in the workshop. From cleaning the workshop yard, boiling water and making tea, to helping load and unload goods, and helping the workers in the workshop run errands and send messages, he did everything. It's all good.
The guys' impression of Sun Ergou is getting better and better, and even the entire Jiangjia Village has a changed impression of Sun Ergou.
"Have Ergou eaten?"
"Ergou, take me to the workshop later and help me bring a message to your Banggu brother, asking him to go to his uncle's house for dinner at noon. There is no one at home."
"Ergou, I can't reach it. Can you help me climb a tree and get my cat down?"
"Two dogs..."
The smile on Sun Ergou's face became even bigger.
Sun Zhuzi came to see Sun Ergou every day. He saw that he was visibly fatter than before, which made him smack his lips and said, "Would the food in this workshop be better? How about I go to Sister Xia's place too?" How about crying a little and asking Sister Xia to let me work in the workshop?"
"Come on." Sun Ergou stretched out his hand and gave Sun Zhuzi a chestnut.
Sun Zhuzi's family was well off, and he was the only child in the family. The family would never let him work in the workshop in Jiangjiacun.
Sun Ergou also knew that what Sun Zhuzi said just now was just a joke.
Sun Zhuzi smiled, but he also asked Sun Ergou, "You have been in the workshop for so many days, do you need to go back and talk to your uncle and aunt?"
"There's nothing to say. There are no secrets in these villages. I guess my parents also know about it. They are probably very happy right now." Sun Ergou curled his lips.
Not having to eat for free at home, I definitely feel that I have saved a lot of money and gained a huge advantage.
Sun Zhuzi also knew the situation at Sun Ergou's house, so he didn't say much. He only chatted with Sun Ergou about other things, and didn't go to Sunjiazhuang until it was dark.
After dinner, Sun Ergou tidied up and went to the workshop.
After checking around and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the workshop, and locking the courtyard door of the workshop and the doors of each house, Sun Ergou felt relieved and went back to his house to sleep.
The moon and stars are sparse, summer insects are singing high and low at night, and birds are flying around.
Sun Ergou got up in a daze.
The weather was hot, so I talked to Sun Zhuzhu for a long time in the afternoon. I had fried noodles for dinner.
Aunt Liu was so warm that she served him a lot of sauce, especially after eating two bowls in succession. She was a little thirsty when she went to bed, so she drank a large pot of cold boiled water.
So much so that he felt so sick in his stomach right now that he had to get up at night.
He was sleeping soundly and was woken up by urination. Sun Ergou was also a little helpless at this moment. He didn't light a lamp, but went out to the hut in the corner under the dim moonlight.
As soon as he entered the latrine, Sun Ergou heard a faint rustling sound.
Then, he vaguely saw a figure falling from the wall.
Is there a thief?
Sun Ergou suddenly woke up completely, and didn't care about peeing. He just tiptoed out of the latrine to take a closer look.
The dark figure was sneaking around in the yard. It seemed that after looking around, it headed towards the largest warehouse.
What a thief!
I was so brave that I sneaked here late at night!
He used to steal other people's things, but now a thief stole from him, which immediately made Sun Ergou very angry.
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
This is a bamboo weaving workshop, and the warehouse is filled with bamboo baskets and baskets.
Even though the waterproof ones are more valuable, they are just made of bamboo. The most expensive one only costs two to three hundred dollars, and they are all big and heavy.
Even if this thief steals, he can't steal a few, not to mention that the warehouse is locked every day, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
But this man went straight to the warehouse...
If it's not a thief, then it might be that he's here to cause damage!
While Sun Ergou was thinking, he saw the dark figure taking something out of his arms.
After a while, I saw the gradually reddening fire.
Huozhezi!
He really came here to set fire!
Sun Ergou picked up a piece of bamboo pole next to him and found a half-woven bamboo basket in the yard. He walked forward cautiously. When he got behind the black figure, he suddenly shook the bamboo basket in his hand. After putting it on the black figure's head, the bamboo pole in his hand fell on the black figure's knees.
The black shadow was unprepared and felt pain immediately. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
Sun Ergou took advantage of the situation and threw the bamboo pole in his hand at the black shadow. While hitting him, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come here quickly, the workshop is leaked, leaked!"
In the middle of the night, if someone shouts "Catch a thief", others will probably be confused for a moment, wondering whether they should come forward or not. But if someone yells "Go away", it's different.
For farmers, their houses are close together, each household has a certain amount of food, and there is farmland outside the village. Once water leakage occurs, it may be devastating for a family, or even the entire village. disaster.
Sure enough, under Sun Ergou's shouts of "get out of the water", not only Jiang Michia's family came quickly, but many other people also came in a hurry carrying buckets and basins.
He even asked in a face-to-face manner, "Where did the water leak? Where did the water leak?"
"I almost fell into the water, but luckily I stopped him." Sun Ergou panted and stopped what he was doing.
Only then did everyone realize that a person was curled up on the ground in front of Sun Ergou.
