Chapter 26

Lin Erlai's eyes were sore and uncomfortable. When he followed Xiaoman's parents to make money, he also ate meat every now and then.

Until the house collapsed and the wife died, the money I saved was used to treat his legs after the funeral.Now the leg has not been healed, and the family is so poor that it is almost impossible to uncover the pot.

Although the clan took good care of their mother and child, life was difficult after all, and watching the two children suffer in front of their grandparents was of no help.

On the contrary, the two children think of their mother and son when their days are better, and they are as kind as their parents.

"Uncle Erlai, don't cry, I won't eat your tears when they fall into the cake."

The little sadness that came up just now was wiped out by Lin Erhu's disgust. Lin Erlai gave him an angry look, "Who is crying? The children's eyesight is not good."

Turning around, he secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Lin Erhu quietly stuck out his tongue at Lin Xiaoman, fortunately he was smart, otherwise how could he coax him to cry.

The cake is a white flour cake with chopped green onion and eggs. Lin Erlai baked more than ten sheets, and the fourth grandma mixed some shredded pickles, and it was just right to roll it with the pork head meat brought by the siblings.

Lin Xiaoman's appetite was larger than the average person's, and he couldn't eat more than three pieces of cake. Lin Erhu ate a few extra pieces of pork head meat and only ate one piece of cake.

On the contrary, the fourth grandmother kept pushing the cakes and meat in front of the siblings, "Eat more, when you are growing your body, you will grow up when you are full."

Lin Erhu patted his chubby belly, "Fourth Grandma, can we still be polite to you? We're full!"

The fourth grandma grabbed his hand, "Oh, you kid, you don't want to shoot when you're full!"

After eating, drinking the brown sugar water cooked by the fourth grandma to digest food, Lin Xiaoman explained their reason for coming, "Fourth grandma, second uncle, we two opened a hot pot restaurant in the city, and the business is very good. There is not enough manpower. I just went to make an agreement with the patriarch to ask the village to give a few people to help, earn money and share in the clan. The few people the patriarch found are safe, that is, Erhu is going to study next year, and I have others There is something to do, there is a lack of someone in the store who can manage the accounts, I can't believe others, it just so happens that the mushrooms are almost harvested, so I won't accept them in the future, and the second uncle will come to help us?"

Lin Erlai looked down at his limp feet, and smiled wryly, "In the past, as long as Xiaoman opened his mouth, uncle would never say anything. But now you can see that uncle's legs..."

Lin Xiaoman knew that he would refuse, so he had already thought up the words of persuasion, "I don't want uncle to help serve the dishes. As long as uncle sits there collecting money and keeping accounts, Erhu and I will have the backbone. Otherwise, it would be so big It’s a store, and no one is in charge of the accounts, even if the two of us don’t worry, the fourth grandma and the second uncle don’t, right?”

Lin Erlai was a little moved by what she said, "Is it just managing accounts?"

"Managing accounts is not an easy job. Just counting the money in a day will make people's hands cramp. I'm afraid that I will tire Uncle Erlai."

Lin Xiaoman's words have come to this point, how can Lin Erlai refuse to agree, not to mention he is not at ease to let others take care of the account.

He raised his hand and tapped Lin Xiaoman's head, "Is your uncle a person who is afraid of getting tired? I'll go to the city with you to help out for a few days first, and wait until you find a suitable person."

Lin Xiaoman didn't say that he was the most suitable person. Seeing that he agreed, he hurriedly said: "Then it's settled, Erhu and I will go back first, and we will push the cart over to pick up Uncle Erlai tomorrow morning. Fourth grandma, you pack a few things too." Clothes, if I can’t make it back at night, I will live in the city, and my fourth grandma will follow me, so I can not only take care of my second uncle, but also help us look after the store.”

Before Fourth Grandma and Lin Er came to say anything, Lin Xiaoman took Lin Erhu and ran away.

Lin Erlai sighed softly, "Why are these two children so kind-hearted?"

Fourth Grandma had tears in her eyes.

For more than a year, he had been frowning all day long, and sat in the cemetery for a whole day. She knew that he felt that he was useless, and he didn't want to hurt her, a mother.

But she only had him as her son, and she was not afraid of no matter how much hardship she endured, no matter how tired she was, but she couldn't see her son sinking down.

Xiaoman wanted to find something for him to do, not only to give him an income to support his family, but also to let him forget about the pain when he was busy.

"Secondly, don't say anything. From now on, we will keep the children's good in mind and just show them the house."

After finishing speaking, the fourth grandma got up to pack a change of clothes, and also packed two for Lin Erlai.

In the past, when life was good at home, I made a lot of things, and there was no shortage of clothes at home.

When I got home, I went there and turned on my phone, replied to the news from Grandma Liu and Grandma Xu, and checked the logistics status of the clam oil.

But in addition to the five taels of silver given by Mr. Qingshan, there is not much left after the copper money is paid for the iron pot. The money for buying bricks and the wages for hiring people must be earned as soon as possible.

The wholesale market opened at three o'clock in the morning. The siblings decided to get up early tomorrow and go to the wholesale market again. Since they couldn't buy clam oil, they could go to wholesale some cosmetics that could be sold here and sell them to shopkeeper Feng.

The alarm clock was set on the mobile phone, and it was dark outside when they woke up. The siblings changed into the clothes over there, Lin Xiaoman tied his hair into a high ponytail, put a hat bought there on Lin Erhu's head, Put on the big backpack and get into the closet.

At the same time, the world behind the closet is illuminated by street lights, and even the pebbles on the ground can be clearly seen.

The siblings ran out of the park all the way, got into a taxi parked by the side of the road and went straight to the wholesale market.

The wholesale market in the morning is much more lively than when they came here before. There are people and vehicles coming to stock up everywhere, especially the meat area and cooked food area have the most people coming to stock up.

Outside the vegetable wholesale shed, the noise can be heard across the two halls.

When had Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu seen such a lively scene, they were dizzy from the noise, and they didn't calm down until they entered the place where the pottery bowls, stoves, and pots were wholesaled last time.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu bought some ceramic stoves and pots and asked the boss to help them pack them up. Lin Xiaoman asked, "Boss, do you sell those small clay pots for rouge?"

Looking at Lin Xiaoman's comparison of the size, the boss said: "I remember that I ordered a batch of goods before. It may be what you want, but it has not been sold. I can't remember where it was suppressed. If you Don't worry, I'll go check it out right away."

Lin Xiaoman looked at the time, they still had to go to the cosmetics area, and they were not in a hurry, so they made an agreement with the boss to come back later and went straight to the cosmetics area.

Finding the store where he bought clam oil for the first time, Lin Xiaoman asked, "Auntie, do you still have clam oil?"

The aunt said helplessly: "No one uses that now, and I don't even think about buying it again."

Lin Xiaoman regretted, and asked again: "Is there any good face wipe? It can't be worse than clam oil."

The aunt looked at her up and down, "You mean the old-fashioned cream, right? I have several bags in my store, do you want to see it?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded: "Yes!"
