Chapter 366 Shocking
Then Ding Wan went to Shi Cui's house.
Shi Cui's family is relatively poor, and the house is very dilapidated.
is the kind of dilapidated thatched hut.
It’s true that Shi Cui and her family are not very good at farming. They also grow food crops, but the output is small.
Then two years ago, she married a daughter-in-law to her son, and her daughter-in-law ran away with all the money from their family.
So the situation of Shi Cui's family is even more serious.
When Ding Wan went to Shi Cui's house, Shi Cui was not at home.
Ding Wan was a little puzzled, it's already noon, why hasn't anyone come back yet?
Just when Ding Wan was about to leave, she saw Shi Cui not far away.
Shi Cui was taking his clothes to wash in the river and just came back at noon.
"Sister Ding?"
Shi Cui was stunned when she saw Ding Wan, thinking she was dazzled.
"Sister Shi, I'm here to talk to you about something."
Shi Cui took the basin, ran a few steps, came to the door and put the basin down, then put on her toes, took out the key from the door frame, opened the door, and said, "Big sister, I didn't even think of you. I will come, fortunately, the clothes are finished, and I am just in time to come back."
Shi Cui has a big heart, and no one knows where the key is.
Anyway, her family was poor, and she wasn't afraid that someone would come into her house to get things.
"Come in, come in."
Shi Cui's yard is very small.
She didn't burn the kang either.
She was too embarrassed to let Ding Wan into the room.
You can only drink water from a broken bowl.
"Big girl, drink water, drink water."
Ding Wan looked at Shi Cui's house, and even the thatched cottage was leaking air.
She looked at these and didn't know what to say for a while.
can only open the mouth and say: "Brother Yang and Shiban, they went out to work?"
Shi Cui's surname is Yang, and their son's name is Yang Shiban. Some people in Su Teng Village took up this name because they thought it would be easy to support.
Shi Cui said, "Shi Ban and his father went to Houshan to chop wood, so I guess they will come back later."
"The two of you can't do anything, so you can use some strength."
"It's getting cold, cut more firewood, and you can sell some money when you go to town."
In fact, going to town to sell firewood can’t make any money, but it’s still better than doing nothing at home.
And Shi Cui and his family are also reluctant to burn wood.
Their family also eats cold and hard food, and they use less firewood if they can.
Ding Wan was silent for a while, and said, "Sister Shi, are you still doing embroidery?"
"I won't do it long ago, just look at my hands and you'll know."
said, Shi Cui showed her fingers to Ding Wan to see.
Ding Wan looked at Shi Cui's hand and was shocked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Shi Cui's hands were all split, and now they were bruised and swollen.
is shocking to look at.
"It's frozen, it's frozen every year, the weather is cold, and it's like this until winter, so it's impossible to do needlework, let alone embroidery."
When Shi Cui said these words, it was a little bitter, but she also saw it, and life still has to be lived.
"You look like this, you need to take care of your hands, don't freeze any more."
Shi Cui sighed and said, "Big sister, you also know that peasants are so squeamish. If they need to be raised, who will do the housework?"
"The clothes have to be washed too."
"Besides, what do you eat if you don't work."
"But this hand, the situation is serious, and I can't go to the tofu shop to compete with others for work."
Speaking, Shi Cui thought of the past and felt a little uncomfortable, so she stopped the topic and took the initiative to ask Ding Wan: "By the way, big sister, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
Ding Wan said: "Lan Lan is going to open an embroidery workshop. If you want to hire people to do the work, you will first find a few people from our village to work together. "
"I thought, Mrs. Shi, you used to be good at needlework, and you can also do embroidery work, so I asked you to work in the embroidery workshop."
Shi Cui was a little excited when she heard the expression on her face.
But looking at her own hands, her heart was a little blocked.
"Big girl, thank you for still thinking of me, but I can't do needlework, let alone embroidery."
Ding Wan was also a little uncomfortable. She took Shi Cui's hand and looked at it, and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, Lan Lan will give people a free consultation. You can go and have a look, maybe the hand will be fine."
Shi Cui shook her head and said, "Big sister, I know that Miss Su is good at medicine and people. The cheap medicine is only five cents."
"But to be honest, we can't get the five cents."
"So, what's the difference between seeing and not seeing."
Ding Wan said: "Big sister, you have to think about it, you can do a lot of things if you have a good hand, and you can earn money back, so your health is important, you should go and see."
Ding Wan knew that her hands were seriously frozen. If you didn't pay attention to keeping warm, they would freeze every year when the weather was cold.
But some people pay more attention and they won’t freeze, while some people are serious and it’s useless no matter how careful they are.
Ding Wan couldn't imagine how to wash clothes in the river just like Shi Cui.
She still remembered that a few years ago, Shi Cui had black hair and a good complexion.
But now, Shi Cui's waist is hunched, and her hair has turned a lot whiter.
Much older than his peers.
Shi Cui lowered her head and said, "Actually, I really didn't take it seriously. I used to think that I could do a lot of things."
"But what can be done?"
"The work in the fields has to be done, the clothes have to be washed, and the hands will be frozen again after they are healed."
"Big girl, it's not that easy."
Shi Cui knew that Ding Wan was for her good.
But she didn't dare to think about it any more, let's just pass the day like this.
I don't know if she will freeze to death in winter, so she thought she would freeze to death.
Ding Wan felt that Shi Cui had lost the energy to live, just like her before.
It is easy to get sick after a long time like this.
As Lan Lan said, you will be depressed.
If it is serious, the illness will also be very serious.
Ding Wan said seriously: "Big sister, I have money here, you can take the medicine."
Having said that, Ding Wan took ten pennies from her purse.
She doesn't have much in her hands now, but when she comes back, her parents give them emergency use.
Shi Cui hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "I can't, I can't, big sister, really don't have to."
Ding Wan said: "Sister Shi, listen to me, this embroidery workshop is very good, and the wages are at least 60 cents a month, which is equivalent to two cents a day."
"It's basic wages, but the more work you do, the more money you get."
"For example, if you sew one more thing, you can earn an extra penny or two. There will be subsidies at the end of the month. If you earn more, it will be a lot. It is possible to have two or two a month, but it will not be enough for your medicine. money?"
"I didn't lend it to you for nothing. You can return it to me after you come to the embroidery workshop to work and get the money."
Shi Cui was stunned when she heard what Ding Wan had just said.
She was shocked.
She stood still like a statue.
She really didn't come back to her senses.
How much wages can you get in a month?
Shi Cui has felt ashamed since that incident happened at home, and she hardly communicated with the people in the village.
I don’t know a lot of things, and I don’t know how much money the tofu shop paid.
But at this time, she heard Ding Wan say how much money the embroidery workshop can receive every month.
The more you work, the more you earn?
