She is no longer the best female match for period essays

Chapter 207 The daughter of a wealthy family of nine zeros fell into a slum girl (2)

Now there are very obvious wounds on the beautiful eyebrows.

Ji Jiaen said in a low voice:
"When I was eating at noon, I secretly saved half a steamed bun. You can eat it with water."

"Although it's not a good thing, it's better than having no food in your stomach."

She stuffed a black-faced steamed bun that was hard enough to be a rock, and she urged:

"You have to eat quickly, don't be seen by Xiaosi and Xiaowu, and they will file a complaint later, and you will be the one who will be beaten."

"By the way, I heard that wounds are prone to infection when the weather is hot, so they need to be wrapped with clean gauze or disinfected. We don't have this requirement, but pot bottom ash and soy sauce are fine."

"The ashes at the bottom of the pot are too dirty. I brought a spoonful of soy sauce, and you can dip it with your hands every day..."

Leaving aside Ji Jiaen's serious appearance, Li Xiaoyun couldn't help asking:

"Where did you hear that?"

"Why do I hear differently from you?"

"The ashes from the bottom of the pot can stop the bleeding, but you can't eat soy sauce if you have a wound. I'm afraid that the color will turn ugly after the wound heals, let alone smear it on your face?"

"If it weren't for our good relationship, I would suspect that you did it on purpose."

Ji Jiaen's expression froze, and he hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "How come, Xiaoyun, you know me. Whatever I have, I will always think about giving it to you."

"A girl's face is the most important thing. You can't be careless. I, I asked someone specifically."

"But you also know that girls from families like ours haven't learned anything, so we believe what others say."

"I don't know that I have a wound on my body, and I can't eat soy sauce. Usually, three meals a day at home are pickles marinated in soy sauce..."

Li Xiaoyun smiled lightly:

"Jia En, I didn't say anything to you, why did you explain it all?"

"Are you so cautious in front of me?"

Ji Jiaen looked up and saw that Li Xiaoyun really didn't look angry at all, he was slightly relieved, and said with a smile:
"Yeah, who will let us get along well?"

"I'm not careful. With your stubborn and stuffy nature, maybe I offend you at some point and our friendship boat capsizes."

"Where can I find someone who can talk again?"

Li Xiaoyun pulled the corners of her lips and smiled.

"I just said that your Xiaosi and Xiaowu are old enough to take care of themselves. They are surrounded by people they know. Are you really afraid that they will be abducted?"

"You just tell your parents, go do odd jobs with me to make money, and hand in the money, and they will definitely agree. Then we will secretly save some money and go to night school."

"We learn to read and learn culture, and get rid of ignorance, so that we can get out of this slum..."

Li Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Jiaen, who looked serious and sincere, wishing she could prove it with all her heart.

She chuckled and nodded, "Okay, I don't want to stay home for those little white-eyed wolves either."

Seeing her finally let go, Ji Jiaen happily walked around the room, "Xiaoyun, there are many jobs suitable for us outside, such as sweeping the streets in the morning, and you can earn a dollar a day."

"After sweeping the street, we'll wash the dishes. It costs one yuan a day. On weekends, we can also help people deliver leaflets..."

"As long as we work hard, we will definitely earn seventy or eighty yuan a month, and when the time comes to take fifty at home, we still have twenty or thirty yuan."

"I've also inquired about the tuition fee of the evening school. It's not too expensive. It's charged according to the number of classes, and a class costs two yuan. It happens that we have two or three classes a week."

"It takes a week to thoroughly digest and chew the knowledge points learned!"

"We can learn anything."

"I've already made inquiries. Let's study cultural knowledge first, and then choose a practical subject, such as accounting, typist, translation, etc."

"It will only take two or three years. When we get our graduation certificates, we can apply for jobs in earnest. It's not like now that we do odd jobs and don't get much money..."

Li Xiaoyun was a little moved by the painting of this big cake. It is indeed a practical path to get rid of poverty.

It's hard for Ji Jiaen to think of it and share it generously.

Li Xiaoyun smiled lightly and nodded:

"Jia En, you are really capable and smart, you can come up with such a way."

Ji Jiaen pursed her lips and said modestly: "Where is it? I usually work part-time in many places. We are not educated, so we like to listen to educated people."

"I've heard people say Yeda, so I subconsciously pay attention to this aspect. This is simply tailor-made for us..."

"Then it's settled, we'll go to work early tomorrow morning. I'll ask you about the job later."

Li Xiaoyun complained in her heart, she was a wounded person, shouldn't she be recuperating in bed for two or three days?
Still, she nodded with a smile on her face.

If she had followed her previous temperament, she would have already stripped this girl of her face.

Now, Sister Yun doesn't want the audience to look too frankly and give herself a high score, so as not to improve her ranking and squeeze into the top ten.

Well, she wants to continue the character design of the little princess and carry it through to the end.

In this life, she was just an ordinary little person, if she didn't work hard to develop her career, she would be as annoying as she could be.

Of course, she is not someone who will wrong herself, as long as she is comfortable...

Ji Jiaen settled the matter, walked briskly out of the door, paused at the door, and left with a light smile.

Li Xiaoyun looked at the steamed bun in her hand, threw it on the table, and lay down on the bed covering her nose with her hand to sleep.

After a while, the sky was getting dark, and the working people came back one after another.

Li's father rides a tricycle. This bike is remodeled from old bicycles and has a wooden seat, commonly known as wooden!

He travels back and forth to pick up and drop off customers every day, and can earn around ten yuan.

Li's mother works as a waiter in a small restaurant, which costs [-] yuan a month.

The original body is picking up scraps with his younger siblings, and he can earn [-] yuan a day.

Seeing that the family can earn [-] yuan a month, but they have to save money to buy a house and register for their son to go to school. How can they not spend money?
Who said that people in the slums can't go for a better life?

They themselves live frugally, how could they waste money on a few losers?

The eldest and the second child have made a lot of contributions to the family, and now they have never returned after they got married.

No one knows where they married.

Li Xiaoyun guessed that the original two hard-working sisters must have been sold at a high price by this unscrupulous couple who only had a son in their hearts?
As soon as they got home, they saw cold pots and cold stoves, and Xiaosi and Xiaowu were squatting pitifully under the eaves, and the Li family's husband and wife were very angry.

"What about Saner?"

Xiao Si said articulately: "My third sister took us to pick up scraps and someone smashed our heads, so, just lay on the bed and said waiting for black and white to seduce the soul."

"Third Sister doesn't cook for me, I'm so hungry that I'm going to faint!" Xiao Wu murmured resentfully.

"Okay, San'er, you black-hearted girl, you are waiting at home to eat, drink and enjoy, and you don't even care about your younger siblings?"

Mother Li gritted her teeth with hatred, and picked up the feather duster to greet the bed with her stomach full.

Father Li also walked in with a gloomy face.

Li Xiaoyun opened her eyes and looked at the past, and said quietly: "Mom, take it easy, if you are pregnant with my younger brother and you make such a fuss, our Li family can only rely on Xiao Wu, a brat who eats meat but doesn't gain weight. Can you hold it up?"

Mother Li didn't dare to drop the feather duster she held up high after hearing this, and said angrily, "Do you know whether my stomach is a man or a woman? But Xiao Wu is the only seedling in our family. If you treat him badly, you are just sorry." Our Li family!"

"Why are you still lying on the bed? I've been out for a long day, and I still want to serve your family when I come back?"

Father Li also growled, "Get out of here and cook for me. I'm tired and hungry, and I still need to listen to you when I get home. If you don't want to stay in this house, hurry up and pack me up and leave!"

"Let me see, without my supporter, where will you be a little girl tomorrow?"

Is this what a father would say?
The slums are very chaotic, and some people actually sneak out and force their wives and daughters to pick up guests for money.

Men even switch rooms to sleep in order to save money...

It's not that other people look down on this place, but it's hard for people who are uneducated, ignorant, and driven by various complicated desires to talk about the bottom line.

Their goal is to stay alive!

Without the support of a man, a woman is a rootless duckweed.

Li Xiaoyun said lightly: "From tomorrow, I will go out to do odd jobs with Ji Jiaen, and try to pay fifty yuan a month to my family."

"If you feel that fifty yuan burns your hands, then feel free to enslave me. Tomorrow, I will not recover from my injury and my physical strength will not keep up. I will stay at home and eat idle food."

"Just don't regret it!"

The temptation of fifty yuan is still quite big, and Li's mother is only sixty yuan a month after working so hard in restaurants.

The couple looked at each other hesitantly, and looked at Li Xiaoyun, "You little girl, what kind of work do you do to earn so much?"

Li Xiaoyun shrugged, "It's a job introduced by Ji Jiaen, so I just do it non-stop all day, and one person is two servants, of course I can earn a lot."

"So I have to recharge my batteries, is there a problem?"

Mother Li shook her head, then turned her head to look at Xiao Si, "You are not too young anymore, when your third sister was your age, she already took care of all the household chores."

"From today onwards, you will do housework and watch your younger brother at home!"

Xiaosi was very angry, but seeing his parents' gloomy faces, he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only secretly give Li Xiaoyun a bitter look, and went to cook aggrievedly.

The original owner was too kind to his younger siblings, taking care of all the housework, and even finding time to pick up scraps for money.

In this way, she raised Xiao Si to be like Xiao Wu, with a big temper and not yet grateful.

Li Xiaoyun is not used to her!
Father Li couldn't eat right now, so he sat aside, took out a stack of ten-cent notes from his pocket, spat on his fingertips loudly, and began to count one by one.

Not too thick a wad of money, he counted it over and over two or three times before putting it back with satisfaction, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff:
"Big cities are different from our small county towns. There are many jobs here, and there are many rich men, and they are generous. As long as we are smart and know what to do, we can hold money in our arms!"

Li's mother was tired all day, and now she was sitting on the side of the bed slumped, not wanting to move, she hammered her sore legs and nodded with a smile, "Yes, the business in the restaurant is good every day, and I can't be idle for a moment."

"I can keep doing this job until the baby is born, and let San'er take over when the time comes."

"Xiaosi is grown up now, let her take care of the child at home. I'll find another job after confinement..."

The couple muttered and calculated the money for buying a house and opening a household registration.

This is Meishi, a large port city near Kyoto. Many ships carry guests and goods to and from every day.

Naturally, it also attracted a large number of labor sellers, such as Li's father riding a tricycle to pull goods; Li's mother was helping in roadside restaurants.

As long as people are willing to work hard and have a steady stream of work, their ability to accumulate wealth is no worse than those with decent jobs in the city.

The couple couldn't help sighing, if they knew it was so profitable here, they should have come out earlier, maybe the two daughters hadn't been "married" out, and they could have two more labors to make money.

Yes, they ran here and there for a long time before groping here a year ago.

It was the first time for Xiao Si to cook without anyone's instructions, so the rice in the soup was raw, and the black-faced steamed buns were soggy from the steam that they were not chewy at all. She could even cut pickles with a blunt knife to cut a hole with her hand.

But apart from shaking her wound in front of Li Xiaoyun, basically no one cared about her life or death.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyun just glanced at the food on the table, closing her eyes and looking very sleepy.

"Five children," Mother Li smiled and took out a small enamel jar with a gap in it from her bag, and immediately put two pieces of meat, a fish tail and two spoonfuls of rice!

"Mom specially left it for you, and it still smells delicious when you smell it."

The slums are very chaotic, people with no force value should keep a low profile, someone who burnt meat will definitely have their home touched the next day.

Therefore, regardless of whether they have money or not, every household has to pretend that they can't afford food, and secretly supplement their children.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and when he grabbed it, he buried his head and began to eat.

Father Li looked at today's food, and his originally smiling face dropped, and he looked at Xiaosi sullenly: "Are you the one who wastes food like this? Do you have to be beaten? You don't have to eat tonight, why don't you eat?" I'm going outside!"

Xiao Si trembled in fright, and subconsciously looked at Li Xiaoyun, but the latter was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, motionless.

She could only twitch aggrievedly and walked out.

As if she couldn't hear, Mother Li put the steamed steamed buns into her own bowl, and gave the dry ones to the father and son.

They didn't ask Li Xiaoyun if she ate.

Li Xiaoyun squinted her eyes and actually fell asleep. She had no dreams all night. When she opened her eyes, Li's father and Li's mother had already left, and Ji Jiaen's voice came from outside the door.

"Xiaoyun, are you up?"

Li Xiaoyun groaned, in the dark room, relying on the memory of this body, washed her face, combed her hair casually, and took out two more eggs from the basket.

She lowered her head and met Xiao Si who woke up at some point and was glaring at her fiercely.

Don't need to think about it, this little white-eyed wolf is ready to sue himself when Li's father and mother come back!

Li Xiaoyun tugged at the corner of her lips, took out another egg from the basket, smashed it open in front of Xiaosi, and stuffed it into the person's hand.

Xiao Si's eyes widened, he looked at Li Xiaoyun, then at the egg in his hand, he quickly picked it up and slurped it up!

"Well, now you are an accomplice."

When Xiao Si swallowed the last mouthful of egg liquid, Li Xiaoyun said lightly.

Little Four...

In the early morning of April, the bright moon hangs alone and slantingly in the sky, still unable to dispel the thick paint color, and the small wind is also wrapped in damp and cold.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun coming out, Ji Jiaen smiled and dragged her, trotting all the way under the pale moonlight.

The slum was originally a chemical factory, but it was closed because of the serious pollution, and the factory area and family building were quickly emptied.

No one takes care of it, weeds are overgrown here, and the huge factory seems to have disappeared.

And this has become a place where foreigners are stationed.

Stepping on the bare path and following the flow of people going to work at the port, they drove for an hour or so before entering the city at dawn.

"Why did you come here now? I'll be a master later. Seeing the rubbish all over the floor has affected the big guy's business, who do I ask to settle the score?"

An aunt said with a long face and displeasure.

Ji Jiaen chuckled and stuffed an egg into the man's hand:
"Auntie, my little sister is here for the first time, and she is not familiar with the route, and she is not in particularly good health. Please take care, we promise not to delay the matter."

With that said, she took Li Xiaoyun to the utility room of the vegetable market to take out cleaning tools.

"Xiaoyun, one of us is in charge of one side, so we have to act quickly. Now the store has just started to stock up, and customers will come later..."

With a hasty order, Ji Jiaen dragged the broom to one side and waved it.

Li Xiaoyun dragged the broom slowly and started to work.

This is a large farmer's market that sells a variety of things, mostly aquatic products.

The market has a three-horizontal and six-vertical layout, and the two of them are in charge of the first row and the adjacent columns.

Ji Jiaen cleans the left side, while Li Xiaoyun cleans the right side.

If other people can't see what is inappropriate, but Li Xiaoyun can be regarded as an old demon for thousands of years. She has no memory but is good at life experience.

A little girl who hasn't had much social experience can see the bottom of her mind at a glance.

The six columns on the left are all selling dry goods, condiments, pasta, cooked food, etc. The ground is dry and the store does not generate too much garbage.

But on the right is a row of drainage products, vegetables and fruits. The wet ground is somewhat muddy, with rotten vegetable leaves, bad fruits, and animal offal piled here and there.

Li Xiaoyun didn't say anything, just went to ask the administrator for a shovel, and slowly cleaned up the garbage. Who made her a sick person?

Who made her have a good relationship with the young lady next door now, so she was defenseless?
After Ji Jiaen finished cleaning in a hurry, she turned her head and saw that Li Xiaoyun, who was usually quick at work, was still writing on the first column of ink.

She ran over anxiously, "Xiaoyun, why are you so slow?"

"The market has already started to attract people, and it is difficult to clean when there are too many people, and after the merchants complain, all the work we do will be counted..."

This time she was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying, and she didn't say anything more, and went to clean other places with tools.

A light and complacent smile flashed across Li Xiaoyun's face, and with a look of guilt, she quickened her movements.

When she finished cleaning the two columns, Ji Jiaen panted heavily and finished the other four columns in a hurry.
