Chapter 272 This is an episode in life
When Gu Xiaoxia was eating noodles, Li Long was sitting opposite and listened to her talk while eating.
"Li Long, do you think there is any way we can help them? Xiao Nier was very good and sensible when she woke up. She wants to be discharged from the hospital and don't stay there anymore. It makes me feel uncomfortable."< br>
Gu Xiaoxia has never felt maternal love since she was a child. Although Gu Boyuan takes good care of her, she also knows that she is different from others. When I saw Xiao Nier at this time, I felt the same way.
“Do you want to help them?” Li Long handed the peeled new garlic to Gu Xiaoxia, “Drink some tea and chew a few peanuts later, and the garlic taste will disappear from your mouth.”
Gu Xiaoxia took the garlic, took a bite and said:
"Well, I want to help them, at least let them have a place to stay..."
"Can't live here." Li Long She said directly, "I know you are kind, but I am not around. I am often alone here, and I don't worry."
Gu Xiaoxia actually had this idea, but she didn't expect Li Long to reject it directly.
At this time, she felt that Li Long was a little ruthless.
How could there be so many bad people?
Li Long can guess her thoughts. He slowly said to Gu Xiaoxia:
"As the old saying goes, you can't have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. We don't know their situation, so you brought them back rashly, what's the matter? , can you guard against it? We have only seen one side of them, no one can say whether there is another side. "
There have been too many messy things in the future, which gave Li Long a hard time. Enough cases to guard against others.
Gu Xiaoxia nodded slowly, this matter was indeed as simple as she thought.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's easy for you to help them." Li Long said, "I'll do it. I'll talk to her first. If they are worthy of our help, then I will rent a house for her and the money will be owed first. As long as they work hard, they can return the money to us.
There are many opportunities to make money at this time. It depends on whether they are willing to do it. If they are not willing to do it, there is nothing they can do. ...You can't help a mess, right?"
Hearing what Li Long said, Gu Xiaoxia smiled, and she said a little shyly:
"Well, I want to keep it simple. If they work hard, it’s really worth helping. If they just want to find their family members, then we don’t have the ability...I understand. Can I go with you?”
"Okay."
Because the girl's condition has not yet completely stabilized, mother and daughter stayed in the infusion room from yesterday to today. The nurse knew the situation of these two people and did not come to drive them away. There were people coming in for emergency infusions at night, so it wasn’t a big problem.
When Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia arrived at the county hospital, mother and daughter were already preparing to go out.
Seeing Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia, the woman took the little girl and knelt down, crying and said:
"I really thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I, Xiaoni, I'm afraid..."
"Get up quickly, it's not that serious." Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly helped the person up. They walked to the shade of the trees next to the hospital. Li Long asked:
"Sister, what are your plans for the future?"
"I...I plan to save some money, and then I will inquire about my husband's whereabouts and find him then." The woman said calmly.
"Then how do you save money? That little wheat or something can't be sold for much money." Li Long told the truth. To be honest, this is when it hurts the most.
The woman lowered her head.
"I can work in the fields..." the little girl said, "I will help people break corn and earn money."
The little girl has not yet fully recovered, and her crisp voice is a little hoarse. Li Long hadn't done anything yet, but Gu Xiaoxia couldn't stand it anymore.
Even when I was suffering, my father never let me suffer like this.
"I have an idea," Li Long said. He knew that if he didn't say anything, Gu Xiaoxia might not be able to hold it in any longer. This evil person would have to take the lead himself, "See if you can do it."< br>
The woman looked at Li Long, waiting for her next words, but did not agree rashly.
Li Long thought to himself, this woman is quite smart.
“I’ll rent a house for you, and then you can do some small business. For example, selling rice, soup, and other things in the free market. I think you’ll have no problem cooking, right? Then People who set up stalls should not be short of a few cents a day for food, so they can’t make a lot of money, but they can definitely make money every day.”
“But I don’t have any tools, just for cooking. It's an old basin that I picked up..." The woman was still a little embarrassed.
“I’ll prepare your rent, tools, etc., and of course I’m lending them to you. Within one month, you’ll pay me back if you make money. If you don’t make any money, you’ll pay me back in one month. That means I got the wrong person, so you can go find a place by yourselves when the time comes."
Li Long's words were a little harsh, and Gu Xiaoxia couldn't help but give him a secret look.
You are obviously doing good things, why do you have to act like a villain?
Li Long now understands a little bit about the people in some short videos he saw in his last life who deliberately pretended to be evil at first and then helped others in the end. The attitude at the beginning was a little tentative. Of course, this thing is different for everyone, so it depends on how you understand it.
"Then...I'll do it!" the woman said, "I'm good at cooking at home. I don't know how to make sesame seed cakes, but I can steam steamed buns, make spicy soup, and make soup noodles..."
"That's okay." Li Long said, "I will take you to rent a house now. You can take Nier to sleep first." Take a break. I'll prepare the tools for you in the next two days. What do you do first? When you have time, go to the market and listen to what the locals like to eat and what flavors they like. I still say it, just for a month. Time, the main thing is my partner, poor Xiao Nier..."
It was almost time for Gu Xiaoxia to go to work, so she rushed to work first, leaving Li Long to take his mother and daughter to find the way to the market, and then took the two of them to the newly purchased yard.
Li Long originally didn’t even plan to let them live in this courtyard. He thought of renting a house, but he couldn’t find a suitable house in a short time, so he decided to live here first. At least there is still room left here. The bedding under the bed also had food, so at least the mother and daughter would not be starved of food while staying here.
"You can live in this yard first and help clean it up. You can also eat the vegetables in the vegetable garden. You are the master of the small bedroom here and don't move there." Li Long said, "Give me the key. You keep a handful and take a rest first. I’ll get you some rice and noodles. The rest are here, so you can stay here for now.”
After that, Li Long left.
The mother and daughter are like in a dream.
"Mom, this...is it true?" Xiao Nier was much better at this time, but she couldn't believe it.
This yard is much better than her home. Even though Li Long said it was a bit messy, it was actually very good.
"It's true. But we have to work hard in the next month." The woman actually understood Li Long's kindness, although she didn't understand why he kept a straight face, as if he was trying to scare people. But to be able to save his own mother and daughter and give them a place to take them in is not an ordinary good person.
Now I am planning to cook something to sell.
"Mom, I want to eat persimmons..." Xiao Nier couldn't help but say when she saw the vegetables in the vegetable field.
"Then... eat one, just eat one, you are not completely cured yet."
"Okay!" Xiao Nier went to the vegetable field and picked a tomato. After bringing it up, she broke it in half. , eat half of it by myself, and force half to my mother.
Li Long went to the blacksmith shop, first built a stove and then bought a pot. I was originally going to buy a pull cart, but I found that there was a cart like that sold in the blacksmith shop.
He thought that even if the mother and daughter at the back couldn't do business, the cart would still be usable, so he bought one.
In the evening, this set of things will be ready.
Li Long delivered the things to the yard. The mother and daughter were holding the door open, but they still heard Li Long's voice before opening the door.
"Everything is ready. You can rest for two days and decide what to cook." Li Long pushed the things in and said, "I will come over and take a look every once in a while. The market can't help but sell things. You guys can cook them." As long as the food is hygienic, let me also tell you that I saw food being sold in other places today..."
Li Long then told about the stall selling sesame cakes in Shicheng, and then pointed to the kitchen and said: "You can use the bowls there, just take care of them. After I leave, you lock the door."
Leaving the courtyard, Li Long arrived at the compound, talked about the matter with Gu Xiaoxia, and then rode back while it was still dark.
There will be fish for sale tomorrow morning.
The next morning, when Li Long returned from Shicheng to the free market after selling fish, he saw the woman standing in front of the cart, selling soup noodles. Xiao Nier was helping beside her.
Li Long pushed the bicycle over and asked:
"Sister Xiulan, how is the business?"
The woman's name is Yang Xiulan, and Xiao Ni'er's name is Han Fang.
"It's not bad. I sold seven or eight bowls this morning. I only pay ten cents for a bowl..." The woman was very excited.
Li Long looked at the bowl. It was quite cheap for a dime. The noodles in the pot are quite thick.
Actually, Li Long thinks that the local sour soup noodles are definitely more popular, but he can't arrange everything, so now it's pretty good.
"Okay, you continue, I'm leaving." Li Long just came over to take a look, and then rode back to the big yard.
That’s basically it.
"Mom, I feel like Uncle Li is not very happy." Xiao Nier whispered to her mother after Li Long left.
"Maybe... maybe I think the noodles we make don't sell well." In fact, Yang Xiulan also knew that the noodles were not particularly popular, but she was quite content with them selling them for almost one yuan in one morning. If she couldn't sell it, she planned to use it as lunch and dinner for the two of them. It must not be wasted.
Li Long was talking to Gu Xiaoxia about what he saw in the big yard.
"The noodles will become mushy over time, so that's definitely not possible. But you have to do this slowly and let them understand it themselves. After all, they probably don't know how to make soup noodles," Li Long said. , "Be able to get out of this first Step by step, the rest is up to them. If we good people have reached this point, we have basically done our best."
Gu Xiaoxia nodded, she understood what Li Long meant, people must help themselves, and others will help them. , and God will help him.
If you don’t want to stand up, no matter how much others help you, it won’t work.
Fortunately, the mother and daughter are stronger and willing to stand up.
