What the child means is that Xu Qing wants to hire him to be a man like him?

Oh, are you sure it won't scare away all the guests?

Xu Qing seemed to see some irony in the silent expression of the child. She laughed and said, "believe me, my cake is more attractive than your face."

The child picks his eyebrows. Xu Qing is the first one who can still talk to him with a smile when he sees his appearance. He has no way to go now. Since Xu Qing is willing to take him in, there is no loss for him. Why not.

After thinking about it in his heart, the child nodded to Xu Qing and said, "I don't sign the contract of selling myself."

This time, the speech is much smoother.

Xu Qing: "we sign the employment contract, which is calculated by the number of months. First, we sign a three-month probation period. In these three months, I want to see your working ability first. Of course, I will train you. If your ability is too poor to meet my requirements after three months, I'm sorry to fire you. Because it's a probationary period, the monthly payment is ten Wen, including food and housing, and then I'll give you the monthly payment when I become a regular. Is that ok? "

The child didn't expect that the other party was more cautious than him. For a moment, he was stunned. Because of this, he also saw the sincerity of the other party from his words.

The child came back, nodded and said, "yes."

Xu Qing: "in fact, in addition to the guys, I also recruit apprentices and nursing homes. One is to learn from me to make cakes, the other is to learn martial arts and do some work similar to bodyguards. Although I think your situation is more suitable for nursing home, I'm in urgent need of assistants now, so follow me to study hard in the next three months. If you learn well, even if you go out on your own in the future, you will at least have the ability to support yourself. "

The child nodded and looked much better than at first.

He thought he might have met a good man.

Xu Qing: "OK, you just agree. Let Ping Ping and an an take you to take a bath and change into clean clothes. They are my two apprentices. Can you sleep with them tonight?"

Child: "good."

Xu Qing: "we'll probably leave for Fanzhou city after noon tomorrow. If you don't know anything, just ask Ping Ping and An'an. By the way, what's your name? How old are you? "

The child enunciated clearly: "Tan Yang, the pool of water, the Yang of yin and Yang, 13 years old."

Xu Qingxiao: "I'll call you Yangyang later."

Two little apprentices took the child to take a bath. They were only two years older than the child, so their clothes could be worn by the child.

"How long has it been since you took a bath? Look at the dirty water." Meng Ping tut tut twice, told the child, "you must not be so sloppy in the future, master. She taboo dirty most. We make food for everyone, so we must always keep clean and tidy."

"Yes." Tang an echoed, "when we say clean and tidy, we don't mean superficial Kung Fu. You must form the habit of loving clean from now on. We will supervise you."

Looking at the dark dirty water in the bucket, the child can't remember how long he hasn't taken care of himself. He was scolded as a cleanliness addict before, but since the beginning of those days of hunger and cold, his cleanliness addict seems to have been cured.

Meng Ping and Tang an washed the child three times before they cleaned him. Half of his long hair, which had been tied in knots, was cut off. That's all. But when Meng Ping combed the child's hair behind his head, he was resisted by the child.

"No way!" Meng Ping stopped him and said, "you can't grow hair in front of you. What if some hair falls into the food? It's required by the master. The hair must be combed neatly!"

The child broke away from him and went to the other side of the Kang alone to sit down. His face was covered with long hair, and his back was stiff and cold.

Meng Ping and Tang an look at each other. Tang an waves his hand and signals to forget it. Ask Master tomorrow.

The three spent the night in this stalemate.

The next morning, Meng Ping and Tang an went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. The child stood in front of the mirror, combing his hair back with a comb. However, when he touched the scar on his face, he stopped again.

He frowned and didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to hide the scar on his face.

"Yang Yang?" Xu Qing came in from the door and saw that the child in front of the mirror was stiff. Then he lowered his head and gave a stiff answer.

"Yes."

The child clenched his fist and was ready to be scolded or even driven away, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity. This is probably the only chance for him to leave here and survive. I don't know how many years he will have to wait.

The child's heart was at war between heaven and man, and he began to give in. The big deal It's not like I've never experienced it before. It's no big deal to show the scars, be ugly or be pointed at.

The child bit his teeth and was about to open his mouth, but suddenly he saw Xu Qing take out a piece of cloth and said with a smile, "this is the mask I sewed for you last night. My workmanship is too poor. You can use it first and ask someone to make some better ones for you later."

Xu Qing compared the black mask in his hand and demonstrated it in person: "if you wear it on your face with your ears clamped like this, although it can't cover all your scars, it won't frighten people."On the child's right cheek, a deep scar extends from the bottom of the eye to the lower jaw. No one is willing to show the scar on his face, so there is no need to force the child to accept this kind of trauma.

The child took the mask, his expression was shocked, and he was surprised for the first time.

Xu Qing seemed to see through his mind, patted his head and said: "no one can not be afraid of the worldly vision of the outside world. If he is unwilling, he can not force himself to accept it. If he changes his way of thinking, he can expand his horizons. The reason why people are brave is that they know how to protect themselves."

When the child looked at Xu Qing, he felt a violent shock in his heart. He pursed his lips. After a while, his mood gradually calmed down, and his tone was as usual: "I know, I'm not afraid."

Xu Qing patted him again: "hurry up and get ready for breakfast."

Before breakfast, Xu Qing and his new friend Tan Yang recognize a circle of family members. Mr. Ji has heard about the child's heroic deeds. If he dares to fight the fierce mountain bandits alone, he is bound to be a good boy!

"In the future, you don't need to wear a mask at home. Your family won't dislike you." Ji Lao put his drumstick in Tan Yang's bowl. "You are too thin. Eat more to make up for it. There is no lack of food at home. You can eat whatever you want."

Tan Yang nodded, looking at the expressionless face, but the emotion in his eyes clearly proved that his heart was not calm.

Xu Qing reminded him, "thank you."
