The bottle of wine in the restaurant wasn't much, so Mao Xiaosui took a sip.

After dinner, Hu Biao couldn’t wait to ask, “When will we sign?”

"Are you still in town tomorrow?"

"Yes." Hu Biao laughed and waved his hand, "Then sign it tomorrow."

Li Yunshan nodded, "You guys should go to bed early."

In the shop, Ding Pingshun was lying on the sofa and fell asleep. Li Ruyi and Li Ankang were nowhere to be seen.

Mao Xiaosui didn't call him. He went to the clothing store and took a look. When he saw the two children behind him, he and Li Yunshan took the money and went to Renyazi's.

The second time he came, Ren Yazi felt much happier and asked, "What kind of thing is it?"

"I'm literate, able to write receipts, calculate accounts, and have a clean foundation."

Ren Yazi opened another room, stood at the door and shouted, "Someone is here to buy you."

Mao Xiaosui was wondering when he saw one person coming out of the room, and that was the only one.

He is quite tall and thin. He looks like he is in his early twenties. His age cannot be seen. He walks with a limp. His skin may be pale because he has not seen the sun for a long time.

Mao Xiaosui looked behind him again, and Ren Yazi said, "Don't look at it. This one has been with me for more than half a year. He just eats and doesn't work. It's all in vain." It sounded disgusting, but Mao Xiaosui always said I don't think that's the case.

The man looked at them expressionlessly. Unlike other people who wanted to be bought, his eyes were always calm and he was also looking at them.

It was different from the way Niu Si and the others looked at each other before. It was clearly written on this person’s face, just the two of them? Similar to disgust? Or maybe he just looks like he is half-dead and decadent.

Li Yunshan looked at her.

Mao Xiaosui asked the man, "What's your name?"

"Qin An."

"Do you want to live or die? I don't want to buy a dead person back."

Even if he could stay here for half a year, Mao Xiaosui didn't think he would seek death. The main reason was that he looked half-dead and was an eyesore.

Qin An was stunned for a moment and his expression became more serious, but he was still looking at her. Mao Xiaosui also looked at him and heard him say "hmm".

Just as Li Yunshan took out the money bag from his arms, Ren Yazi said, "Forty taels."

"How much?" Mao Xiaosui was shocked. "Are you trying to steal money?"

"This is the price for scholars."

"Why is it worth this price? He has been with you for half a year, which means the market is not good." Mao Xiaosui was unhappy.

Ren Yazi was unmoved, "Forty Liang."

The two of them only brought twenty taels. You looked at me and I looked at you. Qin An said, "You don't have any money?"

Mao Xiaosui rolled his eyes at him, "It's so expensive for not having two ounces of meat."

She turned around and left. Qin An didn't hold her back and planned to go back to the house.

Ren Yazi scolded him, "I don't have enough money to support you. Others can work and earn some, but you just eat."

Qin An glanced at Li Yunshan, who was standing still, and understood that he was going to get the money.

Mao Xiaosui came back very quickly. When the handover was completed and he took Qin An away from Renyazi, the two of them were in trouble. There was no place to live, and it was impossible for him to stay at home. The breeding farm was too far away, and this person's main job was In the shop.

After thinking about it, I realized that I still have to rent a yard.

Mao Xiaosui suddenly became even more unhappy and had to spend more than ten taels for him.

Qin An stared at them and asked, "Where should I live?"

"Sleep on the street." Mao Xiaosui scolded him.

Qin An stopped talking and followed them forward with his small bundle. Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised: "Are you not lame anymore?"

"I wasn't lame at first." Qin An said, "I was numb."

Okay, she sighed, feeling less at a loss.

In the shop, Ding Pingshun was eating steamed buns. He looked at Qin An and looked him up and down for a while, then said inarticulately, "This man is too thin. Can he work?"

"Forty taels." Mao Xiaosui gritted his teeth.

Ding Pingshun's eyes widened, "It's so expensive."

Qin An glanced at him sideways, "Maybe all of us scholars have this price."

Ding Pingshun closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Mao Xiaosui felt that this person was quite mouthy.

Li Yunshan said to Ding Pingshun, "You stay here and don't go back at night."

Ding Pingshun nodded and continued eating.

Qin An stared directly at Ding Pingshun's buns.

Ding Pingshun saw him and gave him the remaining two.

Mao Xiaosui took out a bunch of copper coins and gave them to Ding Pingshun, "You two go and have a bowl of noodles. It's mainly you who eat, he's not important."

Ding Pingshun was not full at first, so he got up and took Qin An away.

Then she and Li Yunshan went to find the yard.

There were a lot of empty yards in the town, and there was one in the alley next to them. In the end, they chose a relatively shabby one and rented it for thirteen taels of silver for a year.

The layout is pretty much the same, but the yard is much smaller and cannot grow vegetables.

There is a bed and a wardrobe in the house, so you can move in after just tidying it up.

When they returned to the shop, the two of them had not returned yet. Mao Xiaosui tidied up the rabbit skins brought by several people in the morning and measured the size of the mat. After waiting for a long time, the two of them came back. Ding Pingshun's face was a bit hard to explain.

"what happened?"

Ding Pingshun glanced at Qin An, who was fine, "He ate four bowls of noodles."

Mao Xiaosui raised his hand and hit him on the head, "If he eats it, just buy it."

Qin An acted as if he hadn't heard anything and sat motionless on the sofa.

After buying everything, Mao Xiaosui couldn't return it anymore. He clasped his hands in his arms and pulled up his momentum: "This is where you will work from now on. You will be responsible for settling accounts. Everything related to words." Your job."

Qin An nodded.

Li Yunshan said, "Let's go, I will take you to where you live."

Qin An got up and followed.

Mao Xiaosui was a little angry, and the expression on his face was a bit ferocious.

Li Yunshan never came back after going out, so Mao Xiaosui took Ding Pingshun home first.

The green vegetables in the yard have grown very big. Mao Xiaosui picked some, washed them, and dug some fungi.

First, we simmered the fungus rice, and then we sat in the yard with Ding Pingshun.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Do you want to go to school next year?"

Ding Pingshun shook his head, "The schools in this town are full of children."

"It doesn't matter, just learn Braille." Mao Xiaosui said, "It will always be beneficial in the future."

Ding Pingshun laughed and said, "Ruyi and Ankang know many words, and the writing is beautiful."

"Instead of envying others, it's better to learn by yourself." Mao Xiaosui touched his head. "Look, Niu Si and Chen San only sold eighteen taels, and Qin An sold forty taels. It shows that it is better to study."

Ding Pingshun was amused, "Then wait until I have money."

Mao Xiaosui: "Isn't this money? After completing this business, I will give you bonuses during the Chinese New Year. When you learn how to calligraphy, you won't have to go to the breeding farm, and you will have more choices..."

"Okay." Ding Pingshun was very moved by what she said.

Mao Xiaosui felt that Ding Pingshun was just like his younger brother, although he was a little older.

"What do you think of Niu Si and Chen San?"

Ding Pingshun: "It's pretty good. He's very diligent. He eats well, but he also has a lot of work."

Mao Xiaosui didn't mind them eating, as long as they were willing to work.
