Time flies and it's mid-September again. The snow fell early this year. When I woke up in the morning, it was covered with snow and the sky was filled with white flowers.

She didn't like to make breakfast recently. She went to the house to wake up the two children. After washing, she started to sweep the snow in the yard. After sweeping a few people, she went to Ding's house to eat hemp cakes.

Li Ruyi was tired of eating recently, so she passed by a steamed bun stall and bought some steamed buns.

The stove was burning in the store and it was very warm. Aunt Ding and Ding Azhuang were busy working. She and Li Yunshan went to the backyard to get cakes and soup by themselves.

When they finished their work, Ding Azhuang and Ding A'sao also sat down.

Probably because he was tired of selling them himself, Ding Azhuang also picked up the buns and started eating them.

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Are you going back to the village during the Chinese New Year?"

Ding Azhuang nodded. There were only two elderly people at home, so he was worried. Since moving to the town, he has gone back every one or two months, not only to see the elderly people but also to help kill pigs.

There are not many pigs left at home. They killed a few and sold them before, but now there are only two left. They will kill the rest when they go back.

Auntie Ding asked, "Are you going? Let's go together."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Okay, let's see uncle and aunt."

That’s it for the New Year.

After breakfast, Li Ankang and Ding Ping left. Li Ruyi from the school stayed to talk to Ding Ping'an, while she and Li Yunshan went to the barbecue restaurant to help.

Su Qiang was also in the store. When he saw them coming back, he took the initiative to explain, "I'm here to help."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and said, "No need to be restrained."

Su Qiang nodded.

Mao Xiaosui asked, "Can Su Qiu be busy at home?"

"Yes." Su Yong said, "My younger brothers and sisters are very good, so Su Dong can help."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, sat down and strung together.

The old lady kept coughing, and Mao Xiaosui couldn't help but frown, "Are you sick?"

The old lady waved her hand, "I caught a cold at night, it's okay."

"Did you get the medicine?"

The old lady shook her head, "The hospital wasn't open this morning."

Mao Xiaosui stopped being busy and said, "Let's go get the medicine."

The old lady waved her hand, "We'll talk about it at noon, it doesn't matter."

Li Yunshan also said, "Go and have a look. You can't be careless when you are sick at such an old age."

The old lady couldn't resist but had to wash her hands and follow Mao Xiaosui.

It was just a simple cold, so Mao Xiaosui took the medicine and sent it directly to the shop for Qin An to endure.

The old lady thought it was nothing serious, so she went back to the barbecue restaurant to help.

It’s also early for people to come to the barbecue restaurant to eat when it’s cold. They put the wine into small jugs and put it in hot water to warm it.

When Qin An came to the store with medicine, there were already many customers in the store. The old lady drank the medicine directly after taking it.

It was warm by the stove, and the old lady felt a little sleepy after drinking the medicine. Mao Xiaosui asked her to go back to sleep.

Probably because she was really uncomfortable, the old lady didn't refuse.

Today, the customers in the store were unwilling to leave, and they couldn't chase them away. So Su Yong said, "You go back, we will clean up later."

Mao Xiaosui agreed and returned home first with Li Yunshan and Li Ruyi.

The charcoal thrown in the stove in the morning was still burning, and the room was very warm.

Sleeping was comfortable even on a snowy day. It was already an hour later when he opened his eyes again. Li Ruyi lay on the bed and refused to move. Mao Xiaosui left Wangwang behind and left with Heizi.

There was an old lady and a little girl sitting in the shop right now.

The little girl timidly hid behind the old lady and stared at them with a pair of bright eyes.

Mao Xiaosui realized that they were not here to eat. Before she could ask Su Yong, he explained, "They want to come to the store to work in exchange for two meals."

Mao Xiaosui looked at the two people again.

The old lady looked quite old on her face but her body was strong. The little girl looked three or four years old and was very timid.

Mao Xiaosui asked them to wait, called Su Yong and went aside.

"you know?"

Su Yong nodded, "In our alley, Grandma Shen is a widow, and she picked up the girl. They are all honest people." He said honestly, "Last night, Grandma Shen asked if he could find a job for her. She didn't need any money. She just wanted to earn some money." If you want to eat, I will..."

Mao Xiaosui didn't blame him, and asked, "There's nothing messy at home, right?"

Su Yong quickly shook his head, "No."

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved and said to Mrs. Shen, "Come in."

The old lady hurriedly followed her.

When the little girl passed by Su Yong, Su Yong comforted her, "The Dong family is very nice, don't be afraid."

The little girl nodded and said timidly, "Thank you, brother Su Yong."

Su Yong nodded, happy that they had found a living job.

Mao Xiaosui briefly talked about the things in the store, including washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, skewering vegetables... they were all simple tasks.

The little girl kept staring at the meat skewers on the table. Mao Xiaosui thought he was hungry, so he called Su Yong to buy some steamed buns.

The little girl is very timid and will be frightened by the slightest movement.

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "What's your name?"

The little girl timidly replied, "Shen Guzi."

"Then I'll call you Guzi. How old are you now?"

Shen Guzi: "Five years old."

Her clothes were heavily patched, but they were still quite thick.

Mao Xiaosui said, "There is no work today. If you are cold, just sit by the stove."

Shen Guzi shook his head, "I'm not cold."

Mao Xiaosui didn't force himself, he sat down and got busy.

Su Yong came back very quickly. After handing the bun to Shen Guzi, she didn't dare to take it. It wasn't until Mao Xiaosui spoke that she thanked her in a low voice and timidly took it. She gave one to her grandma first, and then she started. eat.

Su Yong bought ten. Shen Guzi ate two for Mrs. Shen, ate one for herself, and returned the rest to Su Yong. Su Yong asked her to eat it herself.

On the first day of work, Shen Guzi was a little at a loss. He stood behind the counter and stared at Su Yong's work.

Li Ankang was a little surprised to see her when he came back in the evening.

Shen Guzi didn't know who he was, but when asked, he still replied, "My name is Shen Guzi, and I work here with my grandma."

Li Ankang nodded, smiled and said, "You are so good."

Shen Guzi's eyes widened and he didn't dare to speak.

Qian Yiyi scolded him, "Stop scaring Gu Zi."

Seeing that she was really timid, Li Ankang didn't ask any more questions. He opened the curtain and looked into the backyard and asked, "Where is Ruyi?"

Qian Yiyi replied, "I'm not coming.

Li Ankang went to the backyard, said something to Shen Guzi and Qian Yiyi, and then went home.

After Li Ankang went out, Qian Yiyi explained, "This is my boss's son. My boss has two children. They are twins. Their temperaments follow my boss's. They are both fine. Don't be afraid."

Shen Guzi nodded. Brother Su Yong told them to be good, and the boss would only give them food if they were good.
