Chi Xiao found a hotel. Although it was old, it wasn't too bad. Except that the sheets were a little damp and the carpet was moldy, there were no major problems. After all, there is basically no good place to live in this place.
Large hotels should go to the urban area.
Chi Xiao has enough money on her body, but she only has a little cash on her body, and she can't withdraw the money in the bank. If she wanted to keep her secret for a while, Fugui and Cuihua had to keep her whereabouts from being discovered.
Coincidentally, she has the face of a primary school student again, although she is quite tall.
But it looks like a minor.
After waiting in the hotel for a whole day until night, there was no news of Ba Yue. Chi Xiao knew that Ba Yue probably wouldn't come back.
Since Ba Yue has something to do, she can't just wait.
Although this place is small, it is not boring. It took Chi Xiao four or five days to visit all the surrounding tourist attractions.
There are many old houses left over from ancient times, which look very interesting and give her a lot of design inspiration. She recorded it and watched a well-known local drama. Although she didn't understand the dialect, the performers were all older people.
The story is so strong that many people shed tears silently while watching it.
The folk customs in this place are simple and honest, and most of the people don't have much pursuit, living a leisurely and comfortable life.
There are many teahouses in the town, and in the afternoon, there are middle-aged and elderly people playing mahjong.
Chi Xiao went to watch the battle all afternoon.
There are not many strangers in the small town, and Chi Xiao stayed there for a few more days, with the face of a primary school student, so he couldn't help being questioned.
Many people thought she had run away from home, and advised her to go back and study hard so as not to hurt her parents.
Chi Xiao had nowhere to go, so he just stayed in the teahouse, and after coming and going, he became acquainted with the proprietress of the teahouse. The proprietress is in her fifties, known as Sister Li. She is very open-minded and cheerful. She asks her to help pour tea in exchange for change and add melon seeds and peanuts to guests.
You can go back to the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening, as long as you come to clean up the hall (mahjong parlor) in the morning, so as not to be full of cigarette butts and melon seed shells when guests come in the afternoon.
After taking care of things, Sister Li asked her, "Would you like to live with me? It's not safe for you to live outside as a child. There are still a few rascals on the street."
She always thought that Chi Xiao was fifteen years old.
Chi Xiao refuses every time, one is that she has to wait for Ba Yue, and the other is that there are so many people in this mahjong parlor, it must be uncomfortable for her to sleep here.
Sister Li looked at her and sighed, her rich body showed a very regretful expression, "If you can't make it through, you have to run away from home. Your parents are so worried about you. If you don't go back, what will they do?"
Chi Xiao wants to say that she has no parents.
But I also feel that if I say this, there will be more sympathy in Sister Li's eyes.
So she stopped talking.
She is very frank, "I will go back after waiting."
Sister Li said "tsk tsk" twice, and took out a handful of melon seeds from inside her apron, "You are so stubborn, you can't pull ten cows."
Sister Li likes to laugh, and she is good at cooking. Chi Xiao is considered a child laborer with her. Sister Li took care of her food, and agreed to pay her fifty yuan for a day's work. Although the business of the mahjong parlor is good, the price for a table of cards is only ten yuan.
Such is the economy of a place like a small town.
Even if the inside and outside of the house are filled every day, the income is only three or four hundred.
Coal for boiling water, tea for guests, and melon seeds and peanuts are also counted as costs.
Giving her fifty is the best of Li Jie's benevolence.
Sister Li is very considerate of people. When the guests play cards without changing change or pouring tea, Sister Li and Chi Xiao sit in the middle of the road, and most of the people and bicycles coming and going are from the town.
Sister Li would chat with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and after the chat, she would turn to Chi Xiao and ask, "Little girl, did you hear that? You have to go to college to be successful, you still have to study hard." (Remember this website URL: www .hlnovel.com
