Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Although the production has decreased this year, at least there is some harvest. The villagers would be crazy to take in new people at this time.
Why did they recruit someone? To take away their food? Even if it was just a young boy, even a strong laborer would be driven away.
Well, if he is really a strong laborer, we can still consider driving him away.
Huang Xiwang traveled between villages every day, from being full of confidence at the beginning to being extremely miserable later.
He even tried some villages that didn't have such a good reputation.
As a result, the people almost didn't escape.
They really wanted to keep him, and Huang Xiwang was quite happy at first, after all, he was in urgent need of a shelter.
Then he noticed that the way they looked at him was becoming more and more strange, so he ran out of the village while they were not paying attention.
Fortunately, because an outsider came, the villagers gathered around to watch the fun, which allowed him to take advantage of the loophole.
When he was almost caught, someone happened to pass by, and Huang Xiwang quickly ran up to talk to him.
The villagers hesitated to let him go when they saw that he met someone they knew. Only after they saw the group of people walking away did they return to the village regretfully.
After this incident, Huang Xiwang no longer dared to run around. Even now, his legs still tremble when he thinks of the hungry wolf-like eyes of the villagers.
He was as soft as noodles, shivering in the corner, and it took him a whole night to recover!
The next day, which was the time he had agreed to meet Song Jinxiu, he was a little reluctant to see her.
But then I thought about it, it was an agreement, and it would be even worse to break my promise.
Before going to the city, he took a bath in the river and changed into the clothes that Song Jinxiu had given him before.
After these few days of running around, my clothes have become even more worn out.
It may not be long before I lose even my last set of clothes.
He was so depressed. He just wanted to survive. Why was it so difficult?
He walked towards the department store with strides that felt like they weighed a thousand pounds.
When he reached the door, he stopped again. How could he face her? What would he say if he did meet her?
Another mixed meal? Or a few more mixed meals?
Why? Did they owe me something? They saved my life and still had to sacrifice so much food?
Maybe this seven-day agreement was just something the other party said casually?
Even if it wasn't just said casually, shouldn't you have some self-awareness of your miserable state?
He paced back and forth at the door, but didn't have the courage to step into the department store.
"Hey, how did you know this was my bike? Were you waiting for me here?" When Song Jinxiu came out, she saw the young man standing next to her bicycle.
"Ah? I'm not, that!" Huang Xiwang was a little at a loss. Why was he standing here?
"Look at you, what will be the result?" Song Jinxiu pushed the cart and walked with him.
Huang Xiwang lowered his head, gave a brief account of the situation, and said that he had been searching nearby villages in the past few days.
Next he will go further and will definitely find a village that will take him in.
"Let's go, we'll talk when we get back." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
She discussed his solution with others these days.
I asked someone to check and found that the situation was almost exactly as Huang Xiwang said, which means that the child did not lie.
"I, I won't go in. Go eat by yourself, I'll wait for you at the door." Huang Xiwang saw that Song Jinxiu went to the state-owned restaurant and hurried to stand at the door.
This kind of place is not one he can come to. In the past, he only dared to watch from afar, feeling that it would be disrespectful to the restaurant if he took a step closer.
"Come in, I have some bills that are about to expire. Come in and help me eat them, otherwise I can't finish them by myself!" Song Jinxiu parked the car and invited Huang Xiwang in.
Although Huang Xiwang did not have the receipt, he knew that the other party was definitely lying.
Nowadays, people only feel that there is not enough food, so how can they be sure that they can’t finish it?
"No need, I just came to see you after eating, and I can't eat anymore if I go in now, so you should just go in by yourself.
I'll go take a walk around first, and come back when you're full." Huang Xiwang said, turning around and leaving.
"Stop, just come in if I tell you to. Why are you being so long-winded?
Hurry up and find a table to sit down. If there are too many people and there is no place to sit, be careful or I will cut you." Song Jinxiu scolded Huang Xiwang with a stern face and turned to walk inside.
Huang Xiwang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk inside despite the ambiguous looks from others.
He found a relatively secluded place and huddled quietly in the corner.
"Why do you act like you've done something bad? We paid for it. Come on, follow me and hold your head high.
"Little men always huddle together, be careful they don't grow tall." Song Jinxiu came back from ordering food and saw Huang Xiwang huddled in a corner.
He wished the whole world couldn't see his appearance, which looked a bit funny and sad.
Huang Xiwang just straightened his back slightly, but still didn't dare to look up. He just looked quietly at the table in front of him.
Occasionally looking up and smiling at Song Jinxiu was his last act of strength.
"You're so lucky, there's braised pork at the state-owned restaurant today, and I actually ordered one.
You may not know that you really have to rely on luck to eat meat in state-owned restaurants nowadays.
I've been here several times but haven't had any meat. I'm really lucky this time." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
Huang Xiwang looked at Song Jinxiu in a daze. Was he benefiting from his good luck?
Did he have good luck? Wasn't he the reincarnation of a jinx, bringing only bad luck to others? Everyone in the village said so, after all, his entire family was cursed by him.
He was lost in his own thoughts until Song Jinxiu brought the delicious meal to the table and he was brought back to reality by the aroma.
There was a big bowl of braised meat in the middle of the table, it smelled delicious and looked absolutely delicious.
There is also a plate of vegetables, which are not boiled but fried with oil, which looks very appetizing.
There was a large bowl of noodles in front of each of them, with a few vegetables on top, and oil floating on the milky white soup.
Huang Xiwang swallowed his saliva. This is fine grain.
I have never eaten so many delicious things in my life.
“Although it’s just clear soup noodles, the soup is made from big bones and it’s delicious.
Oh, I almost forgot, you should not eat meat today. You haven't eaten for so long, and I'm afraid your stomach won't be able to handle it if you eat too much greasy food."
Song Jinxiu remembered this incident belatedly.
Huang Xiwang nodded. He didn't even dare to eat the noodles.
Such a good thing, even if you sell it, it won’t be worth the price of this bowl of noodles.
Just eat it yourself like this? Huang Xiwang secretly looked at Song Jinxiu. He was afraid that he would not be able to pay it back in the future!
"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly, or the noodles will clump together. No, eat slowly, it's still a little hot, blow on it before eating." Song Jinxiu muttered.
