Chapter 336 The Boy Stealing Rice
However, the little boy remained motionless. He blinked and looked aggrieved, but the stubbornness on his face never changed.
With tears in his eyes, he just refused to listen to his father and came over to kowtow to Su Xiaoxiao and admit his mistake.
Seeing that the child was motionless, the old man stepped forward and slapped the child on the back.
"We were wrong in this matter. Kowtow and admit our mistake quickly."
Su Xiaoxiao can see it. In fact, Su Xiaoxiao can understand that this child does not come to kowtow to Su Xiaoxiao because of his self-esteem. He admitted his mistake, but he also knew that he had indeed lied to Su Xiaoxiao just now, so he just bit his lip and wasted it.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled, walked up to the child, and patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter. Let's forget about it. I think you and daddy need these rice very much."
When he said this, the boy looked very aggrieved. He no longer held his head up so stubbornly, because he never thought that Su Xiaoxiao not only did not mean to send them to the official, but when he spoke Also pleasant-looking.
If an ordinary person encounters such a thing, no matter how many people's rice you have stolen, even one grain is still stolen. It was all cultivated by other people's hard work.
The boy looked very touched, and he came over immediately to kowtow to Su Xiaoxiao.
"I'm sorry, madam, it's our fault."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and went over to help the boy. Seeing that the long-term workers and other farmers were watching, Su Xiaoxiao dismissed everyone. .
"Let's all go to work and watch the excitement."
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the old man and the boy gradually relaxed.
Su Xiaoxiao found a small mazaar and asked the old man to sit down, and handed them a kettle. Both of them were very thirsty, and they drank a lot when they saw the water gurgling.
"Tell me, where did you two come from?"
The old man then said: "Actually, we are not locals, we fled from outside. Most of the people in our village are basically I came out all the time, just to make ends meet. This child is really hungry, and there is nothing I can do about it!”
The old man also sighed when he said this. Su Xiaoxiao understood him very well. It's true. If a person is hungry and anxious, he can really do anything.
Not to mention a child, less than ten years old.
“This is all because I failed to take care of my children, I’m sorry!”
After he said this, Su Xiaoxiao also said quickly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. I know your situation is difficult."
Who doesn't have difficulties in this world?
"By the way, where are you from?"
The old man replied: "We are from Wangjiatun."
Speaking of this place, Su Xiaoxiao has been there before , she could probably understand why the old man was so miserable.
After all, this place is very poor, and the local government does nothing at all. It desperately squeezes the local farmers and even imposes huge taxes on those people.
These things are imposed on them without caring about the life and death of those people.
At this point, both the old man and the child started to cry. The two of them were also very pitiful. The old man covered his face and cried, and the little boy went over to wipe his father's tears with his sleeves.
The age difference between the father and son is a bit different, and Su Xiaoxiao can understand that in the past, most families would not use birth control until the woman was infertile.
There are many children who are still in their fifties, so it is understandable that children born naturally are quite different in age from their parents.
"Boss Su, how do you think we should compensate you? Although I am a little older, I can still do some physical work. Otherwise, I will do the work for you!"
Little boy He also hurried over and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "I can do it too. Even though I am young, I can also help with the work."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said to them both: "We have some leftovers in the land. See if you can help me pick up the millet, and you can repay my loss right then and there."
When Su Xiaoxiao said this, the old man and the little boy were very happy.
The two of them said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, we have seen a lot of grains on the ground. It would be a pity to leave them like this. If the old man is willing, he can help us pick them up. , I will provide you with accommodation and three meals a day, and give each of you twenty cents a day."
Both the old man and the little boy opened their eyes in surprise. They really didn't expect it. The old man burst into tears and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, my benefactor, we are lucky enough to meet a noble man this time."
As the old man and the boy spoke, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao hurried over and put the two men together. The person was helped up.
"You don't have to kowtow to me. I can't bear such a big gift. In fact, you are also paid according to your labor. I don't raise you for nothing, so you don't have to be like this."
Seeing that the two of them seemed hungry for a long time, Su Xiaoxiao said to them: "If you haven't eaten, you can follow me home to have some lunch. But we also provide food here, so you may have to wait another hour."
The old man quickly pulled the little boy and said: "We will work first, and we will eat with everyone at noon."
It seems that the old man and the child really understand the world. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have a much better impression of them.
She is not here to deliver food. There is a special person to deliver lunch. She just brings sugar water for everyone. It's not a very good sugar water, it's mung bean soup she made herself. Drinking more mung bean soup in summer can relieve heat and detoxify.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Sun's cousin: "Please help me take care of the father and son. Don't let them do the work for now. When it's time to eat, give them more food. After they have eaten and drank, we can Ask them to follow them to work. "
This is the best arrangement for them. When someone came to deliver food at noon, Su Xiaoxiao saw that the old man kept trying to persuade the little boy not to eat so fast, as he would easily choke. , looking at it this way, he is indeed a very good father.
The father and son ate quite a lot. The little boy ate two large bowls of rice and drank a lot of soup. It seemed that they were healthy and had no problems.
Su Xiaoxiao said to them worriedly: "You have eaten so much just now, it is best not to exercise right away. Let's leave the matter of picking rice until tomorrow!"
The two of them hurriedly He stepped forward and kowtowed to Su Xiaoxiao, "Madam is really a good person, thank you madam."
Thinking of the village where they stayed before, the landlords kept exploiting them and did not regard them as human beings at all. Treat people well, let alone take care of their health problems.
A good boss like Su Xiaoxiao is really a good person that is hard to find in heaven or on earth.
Those with a good heart will surely be rewarded.
