In the age of rebirth, the female supporting role was cleaned up again

Chapter 56: Nowhere to Go
Zhao Hui was chasing after him when he suddenly saw a few men around him chasing after him, his mind was a little dazed, and when he chased after him, the person who snatched his dried sweet potatoes had already been pinned to the ground by several people. Seeing him running, the man in the old padded jacket picked up the dried sweet potatoes on the ground and waited for him with a cold face.

"Boy, you can't do this. Why don't you sell all the sweet potatoes you have left? You are like a mouse moving house. If you are robbed again, you may not be lucky enough to get it back." When he came to him, The old cotton-padded jacket man stuffed the bag of dried sweet potatoes into his arms in a calm tone, without even a smile on his face.

Zhao Hui looked at the man with some fear, but didn't respond.

He knew this person, and he had heard others call him the boss in the black market.

The old cotton-padded jacket man, that is, Wu Laohei, the boss of the black market here, saw that the boy in front of him looked at him with a little frightened eyes, he couldn't help but clicked his teeth and waved to him.

"Let's go."

Zhao Hui was a little dazed when he saw that he let him go. He hesitated and moved his feet a few times. Seeing that the man really didn't care about him, and even turned his head and started to go to the person who robbed him, he was convinced that this person was really He gave it back to himself.

Zhao Hui walked on the street for a long time holding dried sweet potatoes in a trance. For some reason, the words of the black market boss suddenly rang in his ears: "Boy, you can't do this..."

Yes, Zhao Hui also knew that he couldn't do this.

In fact, when he came to sell dried sweet potatoes for the second time, he vaguely noticed that someone was following behind him, but he cleverly avoided it.Because he escaped, he always had a fluke mentality, thinking that maybe the person following him just happened to pass by, or maybe he would not do anything to him because he was a child, but after what happened just now, Zhao Hui The luck in my heart was completely gone.

Those people who want to grab things don't care whether you are a child or not.

Or, just sell the dried sweet potatoes to that black market boss?The man didn't look like someone who would be greedy for such a thing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hui unconsciously tightened his hands holding the dried sweet potatoes.

In fact, if he hadn't met Wu Laohei today, what Zhao recalled was that if something happened, he wouldn't sell the dried sweet potatoes, and would just put those dried sweet potatoes at Fang's house, and send all the uneatable ones to Fang's family.

But now that he has met and heard Wu Laohei's words, he wants to exchange dried sweet potatoes for money, because he wants to go to school, and he needs money to go to school, and he needs money.

In this way, Zhao Hui wandered on the street for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and went back to the black market again to find Wu Laohei.

Wu Laohei originally thought that Zhao Hui had been scared away long ago, but he didn't expect that he could go back and come back, so he fulfilled his promise and accepted the dried sweet potatoes at the black market price.

Zhao Hui was still shaking until he got out of the black market with the money.

Before going to Wu Laohei, he imagined what to do if this person didn't mean what he said?But in the end, he was very good at what he said, and he didn't intend to fool him just because he was an adult.

Zhao Hui saw that Wu Laohei really gave the money, so he only kept dozens of catties of dried sweet potatoes for eating, and gave the rest to Wu Laohei little by little. He didn't even weigh it again, just thinking about it. It's fine for people to give some money, anyway, it's easier than selling by himself.

And Wu Laohei is indeed very reliable. Every time he is weighed, he is paid. It is really cheap and does not take advantage of him.

In this way, all of Zhao Hui's dried sweet potatoes were sold for a total of 12 yuan and three cents.

It was the first time he had so much money in his hand, and Zhao Hui felt a little shaky when he walked every day, and he was always worried about losing it every day.

But this is money, not food, and he is not at ease giving it to anyone.

In the end, Zhao Hui found an iron box in the town where the trash was collected, and carefully put all his belongings in it. When there was no one at home, he hid the iron box in a hole on the eaves of his house, and then stuffed it with soil. live.

His father, mother, and brother knew that if the house leaked, they would be lazy to repair it with thatch, and they would not pay attention to this place at all.

After hiding the money, Zhao Hui began to review the arithmetic that Shen Yuxiu had taught him before. After all, Shen Yuxiu had to go to school every day, so he didn't have so much time to teach him pinyin every day.He took advantage of Shen Yuxiu's school time to review what he had learned every day until he knew it well, and next time he would take advantage of Shen Yuxiu's Sunday rest to ask for new knowledge.

As time passed, the sky gradually cooled down.When the weather was still warm, Zhao Hui didn't feel anything, but when it got colder, he couldn't stand it anymore.

The cotton padded jacket on his body has been worn for several years. It is good for simple wind protection, but it is useless to keep out the cold. However, the parents in the family do not earn enough work points and do not have much firewood. The family can only burn one kang.

And because he didn't bring any food back this year, his parents didn't look good on him now, and when they saw him leaning towards the kang, they drove him to find something to eat and drink.

Zhao Hui really couldn't stand his parents, so he simply went out during the day and didn't come back until night.

But he can't stay at home, and he doesn't know where to find a place to keep warm. Fang's house is the place he wants to go the most, but he also knows that it's someone's home. of.

In desperation, Zhao Hui began to stay at the east house for one day and the west house for one day, but now it is not easy for every household. He runs to other people’s houses every day, and people think he is here to make a living. He has a good face, even his own grandfather and uncle's family is the same.

Gradually, Zhao Hui stopped going to those people's homes, but it was too cold on the street, and finally he walked to Fang's house unknowingly.

Walking into the yard, Zhao Hui looked at Fang Youshun who was weaving baskets in the house through the glass window. He wanted to go in, but he didn't know what to say, so he finally squatted at the door with his sleeves in his hands.

Fang Youshun finished weaving a basket, put the tail away, and was about to put the basket in the barn. By the way, he brought some cotton locust slivers into the house to continue weaving, but he almost tripped over Zhao Hui who was squatting at the door when he opened the door.

"When did you come? Why didn't you come in?" Fang Youshun was surprised to see Zhao Hui whose face was turning purple from the cold at the door.

Zhao Hui didn't expect him to come out suddenly. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He just glanced at the basket in his hand, took it quickly, and asked, "Grandpa, where do you want to put it? I'll put it for you."

"In the barn." Seeing that he was so active, Fang Youshun smiled and pointed in the direction of the barn.

All the baskets and baskets he made this winter are over there.

Hearing this, Zhao Hui quickly walked over there with the basket in his hand. Fang Youshun looked at his thin back and smiled helplessly, and followed him, picking up a bundle of cotton locust slivers that he had just obtained today. Zhao Hui put down the basket and saw Zhuang hurriedly snatched the cotton locust note and carried it into the house.

After entering the house, he didn't need anyone to tell him, he directly put the cotton locust slivers on the ground in the middle of the room, squatted down and began to divide the thickness.

These jobs, these days when he came here, he often saw Fang Youshun doing them, and he knew how to do them.
