Chapter 326 Xiangxiang and her family go into the mountains 1
Xiangxiang originally wanted to tell her mother when she returned home that her man treated her very well, that they had a son and a daughter, and that her man's parents treated her very well too. The conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she had heard of before did not exist in their family.
The mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter, taught her how to do things, and asked the villagers to take good care of her when they were working...
Xiangxiang's thoughts drifted further and further away, Yike hurriedly shook her. She took a long breath and smiled at Yike, but the smile was bitter.
After Yike learned about Xiangxiang's family situation, he had an idea in mind, so he asked, "Sister Xiangxiang, your sister is still too young, it's too early for her to get married, how about letting her work for a few years first, and then get married when she's older?"
"She is too young and can only earn two or three work points. She can't support herself." Xiangxiang said in a low voice. If there was any other way, she would not bring her sister home to get married.
"I have a job with food and accommodation provided. You work during the day and rest at night. If you work more, you get much more; if you work less, you get less. People of the same age as her can earn at least two or three cents a day and get two sets of clothes a year. You should think about it. If possible, don't bring her to marry. She is too young." Yi Ke said in a low voice.
Xiangxiang stared blankly at Yike's mouth opening and closing. She vaguely heard some of the following words, but only the four words "free food and accommodation" kept ringing in her mind.
"Sister Xiangxiang, are you listening to me?" Yike raised his voice a little when he saw Xiangxiang's silly look.
"Food and accommodation provided?" Xiangxiang stared at Yike and asked.
"Well, food and lodging are provided, and there is also salary..." Xiangxiang had only said half of her words when she turned around and ran forward, pulling out the men in the queue and letting her sister queue there.
Yike looked at Ziyi and smiled helplessly. Everyone would have this attitude when they heard that food and accommodation were provided. They didn't understand other aspects and were not afraid of being sold out.
This is the generation gap. Now, eating is the top priority. It is good to have something to eat. Nothing else matters.
Xiang Xiang pulled her man to Yi Ke and said, "Sister Yi Ke, tell my man about the job that provided food and lodging."
Wang Baojia, the fragrant man, had a puzzled look on his face and looked at Yi Ke in a naive way.
Yike couldn't help but want to laugh and motioned Ziyi to help him explain.
Ziyi not only explained, but also added that it doesn't matter if you are male or female, young or old, as long as you can work. Anyway, the more you work, the more you earn, and food and accommodation are provided. Unless you are the kind of person who is cunning and dishonest, we don't want such people. And told him that he was the director.
When Wang Jiabao heard this, he couldn't help but become active. He immediately said that he also wanted to go to work and asked Ziyi if he wanted to do it.
"You can all go. The basic salary for men's work is 25 yuan per month, and there are bonuses if you do a good job." Ziyi said seriously.
"Sister Xiangxiang, you can also call your brother and sister-in-law, and your younger brothers and sisters. At least the winter where we are is not so cold, and you can take care of them there." Yike suggested.
"Then I won't buy a ticket. I'll go home and ask them." Xiangxiang looked at the man and said.
"I'll go back with you." Wang Baojia said.
Xiangxiang ran over and called her sister over, asking her to follow Yike while she and the man went back to discuss with their family.
The Xiangxiang couple had never experienced the power of human traffickers, so they easily believed what Yike and Ziyi said. They even kept their sister, not afraid that Yike would abduct her.
Xiangxiang's sister followed Yike back to the guesthouse. Yike looked at this dark, thin, small girl with a frightened look on her face, who was so thin that only a skeleton was left. There was only one word Yike could think of to describe her appearance - shocking. Xiangxiang's sister said she was fifteen years old, but she looked like a child in her early ten years old. The bitterness in my heart spread all of a sudden.
"Xiao Zao," Yi Ke called out tentatively. She didn't know if it was Xiao Cao or Xiao Zao. Xiangxiang's local accent was very strong, making it difficult to tell whether it was grass or jujube.
Xiao Zao nodded timidly and said shyly, "Sister Yi Ke, I'm Xiao Zao, the one in red dates."
"Wow, red dates, very sweet. Your father gave you this name; he must want your life to be sweet." Yi Ke said in pretended surprise.
Xiaozao smiled bitterly and whispered, "This is the name my mother gave me."
Yike saw that he was about to bring up the little girl's sad story again, so he quickly started the conversation: "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, shall we go eat first?"
"I'm not hungry. I'll wait here for my sister to come back." Although Xiaozao said that he was not hungry, the sound of swallowing saliva was clearly heard by Yike.
"Let's go and call Uncle Ran to have dinner together." Yike said to Ziyi.
Ziyi went to call Ran Dongsheng, and Yike took Xiaozao to wait and talked to her softly. By the time the four of them arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Xiaozao had become very familiar with Yike, and the strange and fearful look on her face had disappeared.
The best dishes in this restaurant are wontons and a food called huoshao. This huoshao is round in shape and filled with onions and pork. It tastes salty and fragrant, and its outer skin is soft like steamed buns.
The filling inside the fire-baked bread has the aroma of flour, meat, sauce, and onion. It tastes really good. Yike ate three in one go.
When Xiaozao first got the steamed bun, he couldn't help but take a big bite. After swallowing it, he remembered something and felt embarrassed to eat it in such a big bite. He ate it in small bites, glancing at the steamed bun on the table from time to time. He would not take the buns on the table after finishing the one in his hand.
Yike sighed that the child educated by this family was really sensible, so she grabbed two fire cakes and stuffed them into Xiaozao's hands, saying in a commanding tone: "This is your task, eat them all."
Xiaozao took the steamed bun and ate it silently, and her tears mixed with the steamed bun filling and went into her mouth.
Ran Dongsheng felt sorry for the little girl and was afraid that she would choke, so he told her, "Drink some soup, it's delicious."
Xiaozao took a sip of soup from the bowl, and then began to eat silently. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped and stammered, "Sister Yike, I'm full. Can I leave this half for you?"
Haha, you can’t tell from the little girl that she is quite scheming. She deliberately took a bite of the steamed bun before saying she was full. No one felt comfortable eating the remaining half, so she naturally left it. But I like this kind of scheming, which shows that the girl is not a selfish person.
"Xiao Zao, you have to eat even if you are full. You can't let your sister eat your saliva." Yi Ke said with a smile on his face.
"No, it's okay. Sister won't mind. We used to take a bite of the bun each." Xiaozao was still trying hard to fight for it.
