A skinny woman in ragged clothes stood at the door, holding a child who was also skinny with only bones left.
Li Mo and Meizi didn't know each other, but Song Dashan saw and recognized him first, stepped forward to the woman in surprise and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here now?" I just told Changbang this morning, Changbang should be At noon, I went back to Sister-in-law Qin and said, it's only been a few hours, why did I arrive so soon? And there is no donkey cart coming to town at this time.
Qin's sister-in-law didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Brother Changbang came home to find me at noon and said that you asked me for help. I thought I wouldn't delay your family's affairs, so I brought the child over immediately. Brother Dashan , what do you want from me? If there is anything I can do to help you, just tell me." Although she didn't know how she could be of help, since Brother Dashan said, she will come, Just in case it helps. She will always remember that when she and her child were about to starve to death, it was Brother Dashan who gave her and the child a way to survive by thinking about their old love, and she had to pay back this love.
Song Dashan quickly extended his hand to invite her and the child in, "Sister-in-law, bring the child in quickly, let's talk slowly."
At this time Li Mo also came to the door, Song Dashan hurriedly introduced: "Li Mo, this is Mrs. Qin, she came from the village."
Li Mo didn't expect Mrs. Qin to come from the village so soon, she thought she would come tomorrow morning at the earliest. There is no donkey cart at this time, so the mother and son walked from the village to the town on foot, right
Thinking of this possibility, Li Mo glanced at the feet of the mother and the child, only seeing the straw sandals that were so torn that the toes were exposed, and felt very sad.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Li Mo hurriedly greeted her: "Sister-in-law, come in quickly, I'm really sorry, I wanted to find you, but we should have gone to the village to find you, but in the end we wanted you to come, it was really us I'm too busy to spare time, sister-in-law, don't be offended."
Sister-in-law Qin waved her hand awkwardly, "Where are you, you are so busy, it's okay for me to make a trip." Saying that, she glanced at the beautifully decorated shop and her ragged appearance. Sister-in-law Qin was a little embarrassed to go in.
Li Mo saw Qin's sister-in-law's embarrassment, smiled and stepped forward to wrap her arms around her, "Sister-in-law, come in, let's talk slowly."
With Li Mo holding her arm, Sister-in-law Qin had no choice but to walk in with the child.
Li Mo invited Sister-in-law Qin to the backyard, asked her to sit down with the child, and then poured a glass of brown sugar water for her and the child.
Sister-in-law Qin's child, Huzi, is really skinny, and will be as tall as Xiaobao. It doesn't look like a five or six-year-old child at all. One can tell at a glance that he has been short of food and drink for a long time and is malnourished. Poor tight.
However, the little guy is very sensible, seeing Li Mo making brown sugar water for him, he didn't immediately reach out to drink it, and looked at his mother with questioning eyes.
Sister-in-law Qin looked at the bright red tea, with a flash of gratitude in her eyes, she nodded to the child, indicating that he could drink it, and the child gently took the cup and drank it in small sips, as if she cherished it very much. Seeing Li Mo's heart ached.
Li Mo pushed another cup towards Sister-in-law Qin, "Sister-in-law, you drink too, you're welcome."
Qin's sister-in-law thanked me embarrassingly, then picked up the cup and took a sip, then put down the cup and asked: "Brother Dashan, brother and sister, what is the reason you are looking for me? Just say yes, I will help if I can." All I can do to help."
Seeing her anxious, Li Mo didn't say anything else, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, it's like this, you have also seen the shop we opened, and the business is good for now, but there are only me and Da Shan, so we are too busy. We just want to find someone to help, I wonder if sister-in-law would you like to help?"
Li Mo's words made Qin's sister-in-law a little confused, and even thought she had heard it wrong, so she couldn't help asking: "You mean me?"
Li Mo nodded, "Sister-in-law, Dashan discussed with me and found you are suitable, so we rushed to find you, because we are really short of people, what do you think?"
Sister-in-law Qin couldn't speak for a long time, but she still felt that such a good thing should not be her turn. In the past, she also wanted to come to the town to earn money to raise children, but she has no skills, and they don’t want her, and they don’t want her to do those dirty and hard work. They think she is too thin to do it. Do it, but if her children are left alone, she can't do it. In the end, she has given up.
But now she was told that such an elegant and luxurious shop wanted her to work, and she really felt like a pie fell from the sky.
"Really...really looking for me?" Sister-in-law Qin couldn't help but confirm again and again.
Li Mo smiled and took Qin's sister-in-law's hand, "Sister-in-law, my work here is not easy. If you want to live with me, you can't ask for leave easily, and the shop in front of the shop is filled with tea and water, and cleaning. I have to cook three meals a day at home, it may be tiring, I wonder if you would like to do it?"
Qin's sister-in-law really believed what Li Mo said was true, she became excited, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, what is this, no matter how hard or tiring I am, I will do it, as long as you give me and the child a bite." Just eat, brother Dashan, sister Li Mo, thank you very much, thank you for your willingness to find me, I will definitely do a good job, don't worry."
Seeing that she was so excited, Li Mo patted her hand reassuringly, "Sister-in-law, you earn money by your own labor, how can we only give you food and drink? In this way, you and the child will stay here, and you will work in the front work, the child will stay in the backyard and play with my little treasure. I will give you five hundred coins every month, and I will give you more money if you do well in the future. What do you think?"
Qin's sister-in-law opened her eyes wide, "What? Five hundred Wen?"
In the past, she went to find a job of washing dishes and cleaning the house, and she could only earn one hundred yuan a month by doing it day and night. Now, not only food and drink are included here, but five hundred yuan is also paid every month. It is like a dream. .
Li Mo nodded affirmatively, "Sister-in-law, there is a lot of work in the shop and at home, so I deserve five hundred Wen. If you think it's okay, sister-in-law, then we'll make it so?"
Qin's sister-in-law hurriedly nodded and nodded again. If she didn't do such a good job, she wouldn't be a fool.
At the same time, she also made up her mind in her heart that she must work hard, work hard for Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo, and not let them down, and live up to their kindness.
She knows that there must be many people willing to do such a good job, but they gave her this opportunity because they must see her pity and want to help her. Brother Dashan was kind before, and now sister Li Mo is also kind. , How could this not make her grateful.
Seeing Sister-in-law Qin's agreement, Li Mo began to arrange the next things: "Sister-in-law, we are in a hurry to get someone to work here, I hope you can come here as soon as possible, you can see what you want to bring, go home and make arrangements, and come here as soon as possible Is it okay? There are many rooms in the back of my house, I will sort out one for you. "
Qin's sister-in-law hurriedly said: "My mother and I have nothing to clean up. Our family is poor and poor. At most, we can just bring some clothes and toiletries. I'll go back to the village and come here when I clean up. I'll be there before the shop opens tomorrow morning."
Li Mo glanced at the clothes on Sister-in-law Qin's body, and then at the clothes on the child's body. It is conceivable that these are their best clothes, and the clothes at home will not be better than they are now. So, bring those clothes There is no need, she will directly arrange two outfits for her and the child, which will look better.
It's not that she dislikes Sister-in-law Qin, it's just that Sister-in-law Qin will work in the store in the future, which represents the facade of a shop, and it's inevitable that it's inappropriate for guests to welcome and send them off, wearing ragged clothes. Moreover, she couldn't bear to see the people working so hard.
"Sister-in-law, if you really just want to get some clothes, then you don't have to. I have clothes here. You wear them first, and I will make you a second body later. The same goes for your child. Don't refuse this. A shop assistant should have some clothes." treatment"
Qin's sister-in-law wanted to refuse, because it was too embarrassing, but she stopped when she reached the point of her mouth. Thinking of the clothes at home, if she came to work here, she should not be laughed at by others. It's okay for her to be laughed at, but it would be bad for Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo to lose face.
Sister-in-law Qin accepted it with embarrassment and gratitude, "Sister, thank you, then I don't need to go back to my house." Anyway, there is nothing, just lock the door.
Li Mo smiled: "It's okay, sister-in-law, come here, I'll take you and the child to your room to have a look, see if there is anything missing, tell me, and I'll do everything for you."
Sister-in-law Qin followed Li Mo into the room with her children. It looked spacious and bright at first glance. The bed, tables, chairs and wardrobes were all complete, and they were newly made. It was very beautiful. She had never lived in such a nice place in her life. The house, if this is not satisfactory, what else is there
Qin's sister-in-law said gratefully: "Sister, this house is so nice, there is nothing missing, so don't spend money."
Li Mo nodded, "Then sister-in-law, you take the children and tidy up first, don't be in a hurry today, and start working tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Qin agrees.
Li Mo came out of the house, beckoned Meizi over, and told her, "Meizi, help me buy some cloth for Mrs. Qin, and then buy some needlework, and let her slowly make clothes for her and the child, um, and then buy some Two pairs of shoes, in addition, buy a few more towels and three tubs for them to use."
Meizi took the money, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll come back as soon as I go."
Li Mo went back to her room again, took out her own clothes from the closet, and took out another set from Xiaobao's clothes, and sent them to Sister Qin's room together.
"Sister-in-law Qin, these are my clothes. You should change them on first. They are not very new, so you can settle for them. These are Xiaobao's clothes. I think the two children are about the same size, so you can wear them too."
Sister-in-law Qin took the clothes gratefully, and thanked you repeatedly: "Sister, thank you so much."
Li Mo waved her hand, "Don't thank sister-in-law, then you clean up first, I'll go ahead and get busy."
Sister-in-law Qin sent Li Mo out of the room, looked at Li Mo's back, and made up her mind to repay the family for their kindness.
As soon as Li Mo went to the shop in front, a few customers who hadn't had time to have a facial before immediately noticed her, and when they saw her coming out, they gathered around her.
"Miss Boss, you've finished your work, you have to hurry up and do it for us. We didn't have our turn yesterday, so it can't be our turn today."
Li Mo smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, I will definitely make it for you today, you come with me to the beauty room, if you don't want to go in and wait, you can drink some tea in the leisure room."
Li Mo looked at the two ladies in the crowd and said: "Madam Yu, Madam Qin, you two come with me first, I will do it for you two first."
Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Qin laughed and followed Li Mo to the beauty salon.
Mrs. Yu was very happy, because yesterday her good sister also came, and she was very tempted when she saw the appearance of her good sister when she came out. She knows her good sister best. After removing makeup, her skin was black and yellow and dry, but yesterday she entered the beauty room, and when she came out again, her skin was much better. It's watery, and not as rough as before, it's smoother, I don't know if it's her illusion, she even feels a lot whiter.
She was so excited on the spot, wishing she could experience it right away, ten cents is nothing, it is more than a little bit cheaper than the skin care creams she bought, but the results are so different, she doesn't feel bad when she comes every day .
It's just a pity that she came late yesterday, and it wasn't her turn when the business was closed at night, so she came a little early today on purpose, and she didn't expect to be the first one, but fortunately, it wasn't too late. It's her turn.
Out of curiosity, two women followed Li Mo into the beauty room, and the other women didn't go in after seeing it yesterday, but went to the leisure room and played the leaf cards.
At this time, Sister-in-law Qin, who had changed her clothes, came out and saw Song Dashan looking at the store, she went up and asked, "Brother Dashan, I have nothing to clean up here, I can work now, what can I do?" You tell me now."
Song Dashan looked behind her and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is Huzi?"
Sister-in-law Qin said: "Huzi, I let him play with Xiaobao. The two children are playing very well. Don't worry, Huzi will take care of my brother."
Song Dashan nodded, "Then good sister-in-law, come with me, and I will tell you what you are going to do in the future."
Song Dashan first pointed to the display shelves in the shop and said, "This place must be kept clean every day, and no dust can be seen by customers."
Sister-in-law Qin nodded.
Song Dashan continued: "Other places in the shop should be cleaned up whenever they are dirty. In addition, hot water should be added to the small stoves in the leisure room and beauty room to ensure that guests can drink water at any time. Another point is to buy vegetables and cook when the time comes, and there is nothing else."
This job is really too easy for Sister-in-law Qin, she nodded quickly, "Okay Brother Dashan, shall I go clean now?"
Song Dashan looked at the current time, thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, go and boil some hot water to add hot water to the stove, and then go buy some food for dinner tonight. You just came here today, and you are not familiar with the town. I'll let Meizi go with you first."
Sister-in-law Qin agreed, and hurried to the backyard to boil water.
