Chapter 11
Mrs. Song kept thanking her: "Okay, thank you, Doctor Yao."

In fact, generally speaking, it is necessary to take some soothing medicine, but Dr. Yao also knows the situation of Pei's family, this kind of medicine is very expensive, so it is better not to prescribe it.

Dr. Yao said earnestly: "The most important thing is to work less. Grandma is 60 years old, and her body is not the same as before. You need to take care of yourself."

Pei Zigui nodded: "Thank you doctor, I will remember." He will do more work in the future.

Mrs. Song paid eight cents for the consultation fee, and Pei Zigui sent Dr. Yao out.

Xu Ruoruo didn't stay any longer: "Miss Song, when will the four pieces of clothing be ready?"

"It will take about seven days to finish all of them. If Mrs. Xu is in a hurry, I will make a whole body by myself first, and then send the rest over."

"No problem," Xu Ruoruo took out 38 Wen and handed it to Mrs. Song: "This is the wages for making clothes. Mrs. Song counts it."

Mrs. Song waved her hand and refused: "I haven't started making the clothes yet, Mrs. Xu will pay you after receiving the clothes."

There is no such thing as a deposit for their kind of work. If they encounter a stricter boss and are not satisfied, they will not give a penny.

No one is as generous as Xu Ruoruo.

"It's all the same," Mrs. Song didn't accept it, Xu Ruoruo directly put the money on the table: "I know where Mrs. Song's home is, and she won't run away. Mrs. Song don't worry about it. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid You don't do it."

"What did Mrs. Xu say?" Mrs. Song said with a stupid mouth, "I, I will definitely do it for you."

The boss persuaded from the side: "You don't have to be polite, Mrs. Xu is a straightforward person, so just keep the money."

Only then did Mrs. Song accept the money.

"I'm very relieved of Mrs. Song." Xu Ruoruo said with a smile: "My family is the Lu family who runs a incense and candle shop. Mrs. Song's first two clothes are ready, just send them to the store."

"Okay, I remember."

The only incense and candle shop in the town, Mrs. Song knows where it is even if no one else mentions it.

After depositing the money, Xu Ruoruo asked Shang Luxing to leave: "Miss Song, let's go first, Grandma Pei, take care."

Seeing that the boss hadn't planned to leave yet, she said, "Thank you boss for bringing us here. The house is busy, so we'll leave first."

After the two left, the female boss quietly glanced at Pei Zigui, who was carrying the cloth into the house, and asked Mrs. Song in a low voice: "Big sister, your boy Pei will be 14 after this year, is your marriage settled? "

The female boss had asked this question many times before, and Mrs. Song had gotten used to it, so she replied with a light smile: "The shopkeeper's wife has seen his temperament, and has her own plans. he himself."

The female boss choked up a bit. If Pei Zigui could talk, why would she ask Mrs. Song so obliquely?

She had already asked her daughter to come to Pei's house every few days to show her hospitality.

The female boss laughed a few times: "Yes, yes, such a big event as getting married depends on whether the children like it or not."

"I asked my children to look after my shop. It's getting late now. I'll go back first. Next time I have work, I'll introduce it to you."

The female boss felt that she could still fight for it.

Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief, and sent the female boss to the door: "Thank you, lady shopkeeper, please go slowly, lady shopkeeper."

When the female boss was no longer in sight, Mrs. Song turned around and closed the door to go back to the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Song couldn't help but mutter: "Zigui, don't forget Mrs. Xu's great kindness today."

"Mother, don't worry, I won't forget."

Lady Song took another hundred coins from the copper plate she just received and handed it to Pei Zigui: "Zigui, go and buy a new pen."

The writing brush that Pei Zigui is using now has bald hairs. On weekdays, Pei Zigui writes with the pen holder dipped in ink, or picks up some chicken and duck feathers to make a quill pen.

It's just that next year there will be a government examination, and the matter of writing cannot be neglected.

So apart from Xu Ruoruo saving Grandma Pei, Mrs. Song was also very grateful to Xu Ruoruo for his willingness to pay her wages in advance.

Mrs. Song was halfway through packing her things, and suddenly raised her head belatedly and asked, "Zigui, the Master Lu you rejected this morning is Mrs. Xu's father-in-law, right?"

Pei Zigui was stunned.

"This is not good, Zigui, should we look for Master Lu again?"

Pei Zigui comforted Mrs. Song: "Mother, don't worry, if it is really Mrs. Xu's father-in-law, Mrs. Xu or Lu Langjun will definitely come to us again later, and I will write another elegiac couplet when the time comes. And, you see Master Lu and Mrs. Xu don't look like a family at all."

"That's right," Mrs. Song felt relieved, "Anyway, if Mrs. Xu comes to ask you to write elegiac couplets later, you must agree."

Pei Zigui nodded: "Yeah."

The reason why he refused Lu Dali's generous reward earlier was because Lu Dali hoped that the elegiac couplet he wrote would be a little exaggerated, which was neither true nor consistent with his principles.

But because of Xu Ruoruo's life-saving grace, he can temporarily abandon his principles.
-
After leaving the Lu family, Xu Ruoruo only had two taels of money with her, and she didn't bring the five taels of silver that Lu Xing gave her at home. Now, let alone a wooden basin, she can only buy one meat bun.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Xing innocently: "Do you have any money?"

Lu Xing took out a simple purse from his sleeve, the silk threads on it had faded.

"Give you."

Lu Xing handed the entire purse to Xu Ruoruo.

Xu Ruoruo was a little surprised: "You, you give it all to me?"

Lu Xing did not speak, but silently expressed his affirmation with his deep eyes.

"Thank you very much." The smile on the corner of Xu Ruoruo's mouth froze after seeing the money in the purse, and she shook the purse down twice in disbelief: "Is it only ten cents?"

"You, have you saved ten pennies over the years?"

Lu Xing was silent for a while: "I don't get paid for working in the Lu family."

Xu Ruoruo: ".Okay."

She had an epiphany, the black-hearted Lu Dali and Niu Shi.

After all these years, he probably never gave Lu Xing any pocket money.I still don't know how Lu Xing squeezed the ten cents out of his teeth.

Xu Ruoruo stuffed back the five cents and put the purse in Lu Xing's hands: "We each have half."

"it is good."

After distributing the money, Xu Ruoruo enthusiastically started to go shopping.

Attracted by the scent of sesame seeds, she followed the scent to a stall selling roasted sesame seed pancakes.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sells the baked mustard cakes. There are very few cakes covered with thin covers in the bamboo baskets, and they should be sold out.

"Boss, how much is this cake?"

"Three pennies a piece."

Xu Ruoruo smiled and said, "Then give me one."
