Su Qingbai did not go to the casino until the end.
"What if you lose instead of winning?" Jiang Mao asked him.
Su Qingbai's mouth moved, but he didn't speak for a long time. If you lose, you can't pay it back. Jiang Mao definitely doesn't want to hear this.
"Could it be possible to make me wait for the next time, and come here to gamble after you sell the vegetables? It's fine if you win, but what if you lose again?" As he said, Jiang Mao took the fifteen cents from him, "It's better for you to give me this now, and if you can pay back a little, I'm not in a hurry."
Originally, Jiang Mao planned to leave him a few copper coins, but he was afraid that he would take the few pennies and enter the casino again, so he took them all cruelly.
Su Qingbai looked like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, and let Jiang Mao take away the pitiful few copper coins in his hand.
Along the way, Su Qingbai was very silent. Jiang Mao sent him to the gate of the city, and before leaving, he patted his head, "Hurry up and go to work, I will still be here waiting for you to pay back the money tomorrow."
He walked out of the city in a hurry. Today he worked all day and didn't earn a penny. Thinking that he would have to make money to pay off Jiang Si's debt for a long time to come, Su Qingbai felt that life was bleak, and he was not in the mood to go to the casino immediately.
…
After sending Su Qingbai out of the city, Jiang Mao was not idle, he still wanted to find his subordinates who had separated from him.
Su Qingbai, who had already left the city, touched his pocket and found the silver taels in his purse, then remembered that he forgot to buy a sheep for Su Caicai, and hurried back to the county to buy a sheep.
Leading the sheep to the village, Su Qingbai saw Su Caicai being hugged at the door waiting for him to come back as usual, the difference is that Su Lingchuan was not Mrs. Su but Su Lingchuan was holding him today.
Su Qingbai led the sheep and approached, only to see that the faces of both of them were black, Su Lingchuan was not happy to hug Su Caicai, and Su Caicai was uncomfortable being hugged, both of them were unhappy.
When Su Qingbai looked at them, he felt much better after being depressed all afternoon.
Su Lingchuan came out to greet him with Su Caicai in his arms, threw Su Caicai to Su Qingbai before he entered the door, and left with the sheep, saying that he would rather lead the sheep than hold Su Caicai in his arms.
Su Caicai is also a person who can be coquettish now, he hugs his old man and rubs against him, if he doesn't look so much like Jiang Mao who is cruel to Su Qingbai, Su Qingbai will really be coaxed, but it's a pity...
Su Qingbai pinched his recently raised chubby face, instead of hugging and kissing him like before.
On this day, Su Qingbai went back to his room early, before he was full, he slipped away with two steamed buns, for fear that his mother would ask him how much he earned today.
Su Qingbai sat in the dim room, looked at the somewhat dry steamed buns, and cried.
This family depends on him to support him, but he is really tired and has no hope at all.
Su Caicai stretched out her hand and waved to Su Qingbai, but she couldn't reach it. Su Qingbai pinched his hand and said narcissistically, "Don't worry, dad is fine."
After crying at night, Su Qingbai went to the town alive and well the next day. This time, he carried thirty catties of vegetables all at once.
Last night, Jiang Mao got some clues and fell asleep. When he got up in the morning, it was already bright. Jiang Mao didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to the place where Su Qingbai set up a stall.
When I arrived, I realized that Su Qingbai had not come today.
Thinking of Su Qingbai's face that he took fifteen cents from yesterday, Jiang Mao couldn't help guessing, maybe he was too scared to come, right
Having to wait around, Jiang Mao bought five big buns from a roadside stall, planning to eat while waiting.
After eating a bun, Su Qingbai came.
He was carrying a backpack, and his waist was bent. Under the early sunlight, the sweat beads on his forehead could be clearly seen.
Jiang Mao quickly took it over.
"I carried thirty catties today." Su Qingbai's eyes lit up, looking at these small vegetables as if he was looking at thirty cents.
While talking, Su Qingbai hammered his sore back, "It's just too heavy. I'm a little late after walking all the way."
Jiang Mao didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Su Qingbai's messy hair behind his ears, thinking, thirty catties, would he still grow tall under such a heavy weight
Su Qingbai's nose was comparable to his nose. As soon as Jiang Mao came over, he took a sniff, swallowed, and asked, "What's the smell? It smells so good."
Jiang Mao took out the remaining steamed stuffed bun, "Do you want to eat?"
"Hey, thank you." Su Qingbai was not polite at all, and started to gobble it up.
Looking at Su Qingbai's way of eating, Jiang Mao couldn't help frowning, "Slow down, how many meals have you eaten? Are you in such a hurry?"
"I didn't eat in the morning."
"Didn't you have breakfast?"
Su Qingbai swallowed a mouthful of buns, "I'm going to the county when it's still dark, I wish I could sleep more while washing my face, how can I have time to eat and cook."
Jiang Mao felt even more distressed.
There are more dishes today, and it will be past lunch time when they are sold out.
"Don't carry too much in the future, fifteen catties is just right."
Su Qingbai stared at Jiang Mao, "I'll give you fifteen Wen back, and I will support the family with the rest." He gave Jiang Mao fifteen Wen.
Jiang Mao held fifteen Wen coins, and suddenly felt that the money weighed more than a thousand catties.
"At noon... let's go back after eating."
"Huh?" Su Qingbai who was repeatedly counting his fifteen cents raised his head.
