"Uncle Song, Uncle Yong, are you going to wash feathers by the river again? I'll help you!"

Lu Xiaoyang was helping to build a house not far away. When he saw Zhang Song and the others, they were about to carry the feathers. He went to the river to wash his sacks and came over with a cane without saying a word.

"Just do your own thing, we don't need help here!"

Zhang Song knew that the Lu family hated this Lu Xiaoyang, so he didn't have a very good attitude towards him. good.

Lu Xiaoyang seemed to be completely unable to hear the rejection in Zhang Song’s words, and shamelessly stepped forward to help carry the sack.

"Can't you hear what I said?"

Zhang Song was immediately furious. He was such a good young man, why did he act like a rogue?

Lu Xiaoyang smiled playfully: "Hey hey hey, I just want to help! This doesn't come with several sacks!"

As he said that, he went to grab the sack in Zhang Song's hand. Zhang Song dodged and was about to speak when he saw Mrs. Sun coming out of the hut and yelling at the top of his lungs: "Lu Xiaoyang! If you can't work well, you little brat, get out of here!"

Lu Xiaoyang was indeed startled and hurriedly retracted his hand, but thinking of his current situation, he still walked towards Sun shamelessly.

"Third Grandma, I just want to help!"

"Huh, help?" Sun sneered, "Have you finished your own work? Please let me know. If I find you cheating, don't blame us, the Lu family, for not being able to tolerate you!"

"Third grandma, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, but don't you think my legs and feet are not very sharp now? Carrying bricks and carrying trees around the house is too tiring. I really can't bear it. Can you arrange some easy work for me? I know that Uncle Song and Uncle Yong are going to wash feathers. I can help with that. I promise they will wash them dry. Clean!"

Lu Xiaoyang smiled with squinted eyes, as if no matter what Sun said, he would not be angry.

Mr. Sun was so angry that he stared at her: "If you like it or not, get out! If you don't finish your work today, you won't be able to eat!"

Lu Xiaoyang's food was provided by the Lu family, but there was no salary, six steamed buns a day, and nothing else. It was impossible to sit down with the Lu family and enjoy spicy food.

Six steamed buns only cost three cents, which is incomparable to other people’s wages of fifteen cents a day.

Within a few days, Lu Xiaoyang felt very dissatisfied, and then he thought about finding some easy work for himself.

"I'll tell you again, if you want to do it, do it well. If you don't want to do it, get out. Our Lu family doesn't owe you anything!"

Sun Shiyue said. The angrier you get,He even pushed him.

Lu Xiaoyang’s legs and feet are inconvenient, but fortunately he still has a cane, otherwise he would really fall down.

"Third Grandma, I have good intentions, please don't do anything!"

Lu Xiaoyang had a hard time avoiding Sun. If he hadn't still expected the Lu family to spend the winter, He really wanted to quit, but now he really had nowhere to go.

He Jiuniang and others also came out to watch. When they saw Mrs. Sun attacking Lu Xiaoyang, no one stepped forward to stop her.

The Lu family took him in out of love, not out of obligation, and not as a means for him to mess around.

After Mrs. Sun beat him a few times to vent her anger, He Jiuniang stepped forward and said: "I told you very clearly before that the family only needs your help to build a house, and I will give you six dollars a day. You can leave at any time if you don’t want to, but what does it matter if you come here to make trouble now?”

After a period of contact, Lu Xiaoyang knew that He Jiuniang was very important in the Lu family, so he corrected his attitude He said to her: "Third Aunt, I don't want to be lazy. It's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient and I really can't do the heavy work, so I just want to help the family with other things. I'm really not here to cause trouble."

"Did my family members break your legs?"

He Jiuniang suddenly asked incoherently, and Lu Xiaoyang shook his head in confusion.

"Since it's not the case, why should we consider this for you? My family doesn't dislike your lack of flexibility in your legs and feet. We give you a chance to work and don't let you go hungry. It's too late for you to be grateful and you still dare to come. Bargaining here?"

Lu Xiaoyang was said to be unable to refute, when did this woman start to become sharp-tongued?

　"But..."

　"No but, if you don't want to, just leave, we won't stop you. Anyway, we have no shortage of labor here. If you leave, Our family can save six steamed buns every day."

After saying that, He Jiuniang turned around to hold Mrs. Sun's hand and put on a friendly smile to comfort her: "Mom, don't do it for irrelevant things. Popularity is bad for your health."

Lu Xiaoyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything to He Jiuniang.

He Jiuniang wanted to make him see the current situation clearly. It was he who couldn't live without the Lu family, not the Lu family who couldn't live without him. If he tried to commit suicide again, he would be kicked out by the Lu family at any time.

You know, he can live together with those boys now only because he can save two steamed buns for them every day, and it is for the sake of the steamed buns that they are willing to take him in. , once the Lu family doesn't want him, those boys won't be willing to take him in anymore.

After thinking about these things clearly,Lu Xiaoyang continued to work in disgrace, thinking that when his legs and feet became better, he would go to the town to see if there was any other work, otherwise he would never get ahead in his life.

"Bah!"

Mrs. Sun spat and went back with He Jiuniang and the others. Brother Zhang Song also went to wash the feathers and wash some more before dinner.

In the next few days, the female relatives of the family were making clothes in the thatched shed. The clothes of Mrs. Sun and Old Man Lu were the first to be made, because they were made of winter clothes, using two layers of fabric. , stuffed with thick feathers inside, not to mention how warm it is to wear.

“Not to mention, these clothes are really easy to wear!”

Mr. Sun and Mr. Lu tried them on right away, and the smiles on their faces couldn’t be happier. Can't hide it.

“This dress is light and fluffy, and it’s so warm. It’s really good!”

“The key is that it doesn’t stink at all, but it still smells good!”

The old couple praised each other, making Mr. Lu and others a little jealous.

They also really want to try out how comfortable these clothes are, but unfortunately they haven't finished them yet.

“Speaking of the smell, it’s all thanks to the third brother and sister!”

Mrs. Yu said with a smile, “Originally there is a smell no matter how you wash it, but She bought a kind of fragrant powder and sprinkled it on the dried feathers. It not only deodorized but also added fragrance! What a good thing!"

He Jiuniang immediately said proudly: "Of course , this fragrant powder is not easy to get, and the dosage is small. I encountered it occasionally. I made an agreement with the person who sells this fragrant powder. From now on, the fragrant powder will only be sold to me, and other people will not be able to buy it!"

"There is such a good thing!" Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up, "But this thing is expensive, isn't it?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "It's a bit, but we use it on these clothes. , you can still make some profit from selling it, don’t worry!”

“Okay, then I’ll leave the powder matter to you. Since it’s rare, I’ll disclose it as little as possible. The fewer people who know, the better. ."

Sun directly helped He Jiuniang to cover up, and no one had any objections.

He Jiuniang smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, why is Ms. Sun so good?
