Chapter 429 Salary
Seeing two children sitting on the steps, looking at the lively market, Song Ci did not call them directly, but walked directly over with vegetable dumplings.

Seeing that Song Ci didn't say anything, Cai Jiaozi immediately tiptoed over, hoping to scare the little butterfly.

But not to mention the connection between the travelers, the traveler also had feelings for Song Ci, the village owner, so before they could get closer, the little butterfly turned to look at them.

"Gah~"

The vegetable dumpling, which was tiptoeing, paused in mid-air with a funny posture.

"What are you doing?" Little Butterfly asked in confusion.

"Hey hey hey..." Cai Jiaozi looked around and didn't answer the question.

"Is this your friend?"

Song Ci looked at the little boy sitting on the steps. Judging from his age, he was probably about the same age as Ma Xinqiang. He had a shaved head and a slightly chubby figure. He looked naive.

When Song Ci looked at the little boy, the little boy also looked at him curiously.

"Is this your friend?"

Just as he was thinking about how to explain the vegetable dumplings to Little Butterfly, he immediately asked questions like he was imitating Song Ci.

After saying that, he looked at the little boy as if he were imitating Song Ci.

Little Butterfly had a question mark on her face. Didn't she know this before?

Song Ci reached out and tapped her little head to tell her not to be naughty.

"Well, Tang Die is my good friend. We have known each other a long time ago." The little boy said.

"Who is Tang Die?" Cai Jiaozi asked curiously.

"Tang Die is the name of the little butterfly, do you know this?" Song Ci said.

Then he reached out and hit her little head again to tell her not to interrupt. Cai Jiaozi covered her little head dissatisfiedly. She really didn't know.

"He is my classmate." At this time, Little Butterfly also realized and hurriedly explained.

When Little Butterfly died unexpectedly, he had just entered the first grade of elementary school, but he and the little boy were not just classmates in the first grade. They had been in the same kindergarten and class since they were young, so they were naturally familiar with each other.

So when the little butterfly saw him, he was surprised, and the little boy was equally surprised when he saw the little butterfly. He didn't expect that he would see the little butterfly one day.

The little boy's name is Li Jiuchang, and he lives in a community not far from Little Butterfly. This is why he is in a kindergarten and a primary school. The school is divided according to photo areas. Many people almost go from kindergarten to middle school in the same kindergarten. School or even a class will go their separate ways until high school.

After Little Butterfly passed away, Li Jiuchang's parents took him to pay homage. He was still sad for several days. After all, Little Butterfly was one of his best friends.

"Then what happened to you?" Song Ci asked.

Li Jiuchang was silent after hearing this, lowered his head and said nothing.

Little Butterfly took the initiative: "His father wants to divorce his mother."

After hearing this, Song Ci connected the words Cai Jiaozi said before, and suddenly understood something.

Sure enough, Little Butterfly continued: "Li Jiuchang's mother was very angry. She drove the car very fast that day, and then she had a car accident."

Li Jiuchang didn't wait for Little Butterfly to finish speaking, and ran away. Song Ci faintly saw him raising his hand to wipe away his tears.

Little Butterfly was still sitting there in a daze. Song Ci patted her little head and said, "He looks sad. Go and have a look. I think he must need a friend now."

"Oh."

When the little butterfly heard this, he chased after him in a panic.

Seeing Little Butterfly leave, Cai Diaozi asked curiously: "What is divorce?"

"What are children doing asking so many questions?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know if you don't tell me? Don't you mean that your parents don't love each other? Don't they want to be together?" Cai Jiaozi said smartly.

"You know and still ask?"

"But why don't they love each other anymore? Aren't they together because they like each other?" Cai Jiaozi said with some confusion on his face.

"Maybe as time goes by, I won't love you anymore."

"Tired of it?" Cai Jiaozi asked.

When Song Ci heard this, he looked down at her in surprise, only to see Cai Diaozi looking up at him with a pair of big eyes full of innocence.

Song Ci nodded slowly.

"Maybe."

"I knew it."

When Cai Jiaozi heard this, he slapped his palms and looked like he was very smart.

Then I heard her say: "I've been playing with one toy for a long time, and I'm tired of playing with it. I don't want to play with it anymore. I want to play with new toys."

Song Ci: ...

What a tiger's word.

At this time, I heard her let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a happy face: "Fortunately I am dead, otherwise as time goes by, my parents will get tired of it and they will definitely not love me anymore."

Song Ci was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then reached out and touched her little head and said with a smile, "No, your parents will love you forever."

"Why?" Cai Jiaozi was a little confused.

"Because you're different?"

"What's the difference? My father is different, and my mother is different."

"They are together because of love, and they have you because of love, so you are their favorite."

“→_→, I don’t believe it, they don’t love themselves anymore, how can they still love me?”

Good guy, this little thing is full of oil and salt.

"Look, little brother is so sad. It must be because his parents don't love him anymore." Cai Jiaozi looked determined.

Song Ci didn't know how to refute for a while.

Song Ci thought for a while and was about to say a few more words when he saw Cai Dumpling being attracted by a candied haws seller next to him.

"Do you want to eat?" Song Ci asked.

When Cai Jiaozi heard this, his eyes sparkled and he nodded repeatedly.

"But I have no money."

Taocheng's newly issued currency, Song Ci really doesn't have it.

"( ̄口 ̄)!!, you are an adult, how come you have no money? Have you worked hard?"

Song Ci stretched out his hand and knocked her little head. Cai Jiaozi held her head and hid aside in alarm.

"Don't knock me, I'll be stupid."

"Master Village Owner, Master Xingzhe, this candied haws of apples is free of charge, I will give it to you two."

Obviously, this vendor also knew Song Ci. After hearing the conversation between the two, he immediately picked up two bunches of candied haws and handed them to them.

Song Ci was not polite and took it directly. As for the vegetable dumplings, he didn't know what politeness meant.

But she politely said thank you.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Mr. Song." Song Ci said.

"Okay, Mr. Song."

This candied haws hawker was about fifty years old, with dark skin and a simple and honest face. It seemed that he was also a coolie during his lifetime.

Song Ci tasted the candied haws on a stick and was surprised to find that not only did it taste good, but each one had a different taste, layer by layer, giving people a sense of surprise.

"Have you ever sold candied haws on a stick before?" Song Ci asked curiously.

"I sold it when I was young. It's a craft passed down from my ancestors. It's a pity..." the vendor said with regret.

Because he couldn't make money, he chose to go out to work. Later, he died and this craft was lost.

However, it was precisely because of this skill that the lord of [Taocheng] arranged a stall for him. This was a dead end, but he had gained the honor of his ancestors.

Song Ci chatted with the vendor for a few more words, and then returned to the old peach tree with vegetable dumplings.

But along the way, the little guy's mouth never stopped. He not only kept eating, but also kept talking.Roughly speaking, Song Ci has to work hard, otherwise he won’t be able to afford candied haws if he doesn’t have money.

So Song Ci retorted to her: "Why don't you work hard and make money?"

Then she stretched out her little hand towards Song Ci.

"Boss, give me the money."

"Huh~"

Going around and around, it came back to him again.

However, Cai Jiaozi's words reminded him that in the past, it was useless for them to ask for "money". Naturally, there was no salary, and it was all for nothing.

And now that there are channels for shopping, shouldn't we also pay them some wages so that they can buy what they want to buy?

At this time, he also realized that Xiaodie and Li Jiuchang were sitting on the steps just now. They were not in a daze at all, but because they had no money.

"Okay, I understand. I will discuss it with your Aunt Yaoyao later and give you some salary every month." Song Ci said.

"Wow~"

Cai Jiaozi's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he cheered and circled around Song Ci.

"Brother Immortal is so kind."

Seeing her happy face, Song Ci felt her mood improved.

"With money, can I eat candied haws every day?"

"can."

"With money, can I buy that expensive, expensive kebab?"

"Also."

"It costs a lot of money. I asked the boss, and he said that barbecue requires too much effort and requires many steps, so it is expensive."

"I think the salary should be enough for you to eat kebabs."

"Oh, Brother Immortal is so kind."

Cai Jiaozi held up the leftover candied haws and ran up the slope, disturbing a group of incense insects, fluttering their wings like stars.

When Song Ci returned to the old peach tree, he found that the millet grains had returned, and his eyes were falling on the candied haws in Cai Diaozi's hand.

When Song Ci looked at her, she immediately said, "I don't want to eat it."

Song Ci: ...

These words about not having 300 taels of silver made Song Ci feel dumbfounded.

So he handed over the remaining candied haws on his hand and said, "Try it, it tastes very good."

Xiaomi Li did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at Song Ci.

"Take it, I've already tasted it, and I'll give you the rest." Song Ci said with a smile.

"It's really delicious." Cai Jiaozi also said beside him.

"Thank you." Xiaomi Li then reached out and took it.

Song Ci reached out and touched her head.

Among the three little ones, she is the most diligent. Every time Song Ci comes, she almost always goes out to extradite the dead.

"How many people have been extradited this year?" Song Ci asked casually.

"Four." Xiao Mili said.

"It's really amazing." Song Ci praised.

Xiaomi Li smiled shyly when he heard this.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you solve it." Song Ci continued.

Hearing this, Xiaomi Li immediately raised the hammer in his hand, saying that if he had a hammer, there would be nothing that couldn't be solved with one hammer. If so, he would use two hammers.

At this moment, the originally peaceful incense bugs on the hillside suddenly became restless, flying into the air one after another, and then headed towards the thatched house.

The vortex formed by Yun Chuyao absorbing the incense, at the moment it stopped, a large amount of unabsorbed incense spurted out, thus attracting countless incense insects, who rushed to eat the incense, forming a bright galaxy.

"Wow~"

The vegetable dumplings and millet grains all exclaimed, they were so beautiful.

At this moment, countless incense insects exploded their bodies due to excessive consumption of incense and turned into balls of fireworks, fleeting in the air, leaving behind the last brilliance of life.

The two little guys were holding candied haws, their necks raised, their mouths slightly open, looking shocked.

At this moment, the door of the hut opened, Yun Chuyao walked out, and the incense bugs all over the sky dispersed.

"Husband." Seeing Song Ci, Yun Chuyao's eyes lit up and he happily greeted him.

Song Ci put his arms around her waist.

At this moment, the two little guys sighed together.

"Ok?"

Yun Chuyao immediately turned his head and looked at the two little guys, "I hug my husband, what do you mean by sighing?"
"Huh?" The two little guys had no idea what was going on and looked cute.

"Okay, stop teasing them." Song Ci gently patted her buttocks. Yun Chuyao's cheeks turned red and she broke away from his embrace.

"Where did you get the candied haws?"

"Hey, the boss of Tanghulu gave it to me," Cai Diaozi said happily.

Speaking of this, Song Ci thought of the salary issue, so he expressed his thoughts to Yun Chuyao and asked her to tell Liang Siyu that the three little guys should be paid some salary every month.

"You do have to be paid. Not only do you employ child labor, you don't even pay wages. The capitalists will tattoo you on your back." Yun Chuyao said matter-of-factly.

After she finished speaking, she giggled, and the two little guys couldn't figure out where she was laughing.

Song Ci reached out and pinched her cheek, playfully.

Yun Chuyao opened his mouth and bit Song Ci's finger in dissatisfaction, and Song Ci quickly retracted his hand.

Nuan Nuan is quite similar to her in this regard. Every time he pinches her little face, she moans and wants to bite.

"Okay, I have something else to do. You guys should stay here for now." Song Ci had a conversation with them, got up and was about to leave.

Yun Chuyao curled his lips with some dissatisfaction, feeling that Song Ci spent too little time with her.

Xiaomi Li also hurriedly followed Song Ci.

"You should also take a rest, I don't need your help." Song Ci said with a smile.

Only then did Xiao Mili stop, feeling that Song Ci would not take her with him, and pouted slightly unhappily. Such a diligent employee really had to be paid some wages, which made him feel guilty.

Song Ci came to the old peach tree and pressed his palm on the trunk of the old peach tree. Zhang Changgong's message emerged in his heart, but the old peach tree gave no feedback.

In this case, either Zhang Changgong is not dead yet, or Zhang Changgong has returned to the sea of ​​souls. Song Ci prefers the first option, and he just wants to confirm it.

Then Xu Yumin's message emerged in his mind, but Lao Taoshu still had no response, which surprised Song Ci.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yumin has returned to the Sea of ​​Souls, but it doesn't feel strange if she thinks about it. After suffering such pain, I'm afraid she doesn't want to stay in this world any longer, so she might as well return to the Sea of ​​Souls.

So Song Ci successively conveyed the information about Jiang Chengshi and Lei Xiaoyun to Lao Taoshu, but Lao Taoshu still didn't respond at all.

This surprised Song Ci. He didn't even stay in the world. It seemed that he could only ask about the jar.

Just when he was about to put away his palm, a small face appeared in front of him.

But he saw Cai Jiaozi bending over, sticking out his butt, tilting his head and looking up from below, and happened to meet Song Ci's lowered eyes.

"What are you doing?" Song Ci asked with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Hey, I thought you were sleeping."

Song Ci: ...

Does anyone sleep like this?
