Chapter 158 New cotton shoes

In the next few days, Emily seemed to feel that her father's attitude towards her was a little different, and she seemed to have a little annoyance in her eyes. Or she was afraid, and she didn't urge her to go out to sell matches. Instead, she went out to do a helping worker and earned some money back.

But Emily herself couldn't understand these things. Her father seemed to hate her a little, and she didn't know why. Anyway, it would be fine if she didn't hit her, because the drunk father was really scary.

On the third day, Seme went out to work again in the morning, and Emily stayed alone at home, so she thought about it and went out with a match basket.

She was hawking all the way, but unfortunately, she had not come to buy his Hushang after a long time.

Before he knew it, Emily suddenly saw the intersection in the distance, and there seemed to be many people gathering there and not knowing what to do.

"There are so many people here, so there will definitely be someone buying my matches, right?" Ellimi thought to herself, so she raised her foot and walked over.

"Matches are sold! 10 boxes only cost one crown!"

"Denmark Aarhus, Denmark Aarhus, the largest cotton shoe factory, and the Angel Cotton Shoe Factory are closed!"

The two voices suddenly intersected, and Emily felt that her voice was a little familiar, as if she was Uncle George?

Emily squeezed in with the basket in her arms and found that it was really Uncle George inside.

At this time, Chen Chu also saw Emily and quickly sold the last pair of shoes, telling everyone that they would continue tomorrow, and then packed up their money and stood up.

"Isn't this our little angel Emily? Why are you here? Your father drove you out again?" Chen Chu asked.

"No, my father hasn't said to me recently. Today he went out to work, and I ran out to sell matches myself." Emily shook her head and said.

Chen Chu felt relieved, reached out and held Xiaoluoli's hand, took her back to the shoemaker's shop first, and then received the salary for the past two days.

"Boss, I want to buy a pair of cotton shoes for kids, and I want the best one here!" Chen Chu suddenly said. The shoes in the store are also priced at a price of 5 kroners. The cheapest one is 5 kroners, and the most expensive one is 35 kroners. Chen Chu has been saving money these days. Chen Chu calculated his salary and commission these days, and he happened to get 42 kroners.

"Ah?" Emily suddenly raised her head. Her purpose uncle seemed to know her, a little girl. Did she buy her shoes for her?

But the society she experienced in this long eight years of life still dared not confirm it.

"Little Emily, come and choose a pair." Chen Chu rented the most expensive children's shoes he bought and called Emily.

It turned out that it was really for me. No, I couldn't ask for it. It turned out that Uncle George worked so hard outside every day to sell shoes. How could he let him buy such expensive things?

So he pulled Chen Chu's neck of his clothes and said firmly: "Uncle George, I don't want it anymore. I have shoes to wear now."

When Chen Chu heard this, he looked at the slippers on her feet that were longer than her face, and frowned: "You are called shoes? It's so cold outside. Look at how your feet are frozen. If the freezing is broken, the money for treatment will be more than buying shoes." Chen Chu said without doubt.

Emily looked at Chen Chu, as if she didn't want to like herself anymore, so she had to point to the simpler shoes next to her and said, "Then I want this, I like this."

Chen Chu looked at it. The shoe next to it was the cheapest, and it only cost 5 kroners.

"No, that's not warm, just buy this one." Chen Chu said.

"I really don't want it anymore. Brother George, you're so hard to make money, it's so cold outside. Besides, Emily has to come out and sell matches often. Such expensive shoes will be worn by Emily." Emily insisted on just being the cheapest one.

Speaking of this, Chen Chu nodded thoughtfully. Just when Emily thought Chen Chu was convinced, Chen Chu spoke again: "Then buy two pairs, come out to sell matches and wear this cheap one, and go back and wear that one, which is perfect."

After saying that, Chen Chu saw that Emily didn't want to choose, so he picked up a pair of the best red children's cotton shoes on his own, then took another pair of cotton shoes on the other side, and pulled Emily to the front of the stool to sit down.

Squat down, took out the other party's small ice-like feet from the big slippers, and then gently put them into the cotton shoes.

Little Emily wanted to get it back, but she was not as strong as Chen Chu, so she could only let the other party shine.

He pinched his big toe through his shoes: "Do you feel squeezed?"

"It's very warm, it's not crowded." Little Emily said.

Yes, it’s not squeezed at all. Is this how it feels to wear cotton shoes? The surroundings are soft, as if when I was a child, my grandmother held her feet with her hands to warm herself up.

But Chen Chu still felt that this was a bit big, but he knew that if he was a smaller size, he might wear a squeeze: "It's a bit big, but it's okay, just wear another pair of socks."

So he got up and took two pairs of socks.

Finally, Chen Chu asked Emily to wait here, walked to the boss's money, and reached out to take out all the money on him.

There are 42 crowns in total, two pairs of shoes have a total of 40 crowns, plus the fur socks, which is exactly 42. Now Chen Chuke is really penniless, but the problem is not big. You can make money if you have no money.

This time, Chen Chu even forgot his mission.

The boss looked up at Chen Chu, then looked at Emily, "It doesn't need to be so much, just give me 25, but these are not what you sold." After that, he lowered his head and started making shoes.

With Chen Chu in charge of his little hands, the boss is either making shoes or going out to buy materials. He saves much worry and makes more money than before. Recently, he is thinking about whether to raise Chen Chu's salary, but he hasn't figured out what to say for a while.

Very arrogant.

It was seventeen crowns at once. Chen Chu knew that the boss in front of him was a sarcastic and slander, so he thanked him and didn't say anything else. Even so, Chen Chu waved his hand and drove away before he finished saying the words of thanks.

Then Chen Chu held another pair of cotton shoes in one hand and pulled Emily in the other hand. He went to the market to buy some food and went back and bought some more meat. He planned to freeze it on the windowsill at night and take it to the store to give it to the boss tomorrow.

When they got home, Seme had not yet come back, so they had to eat first and then leave some for each other.

After they had supper, Seme still did not come back.

The moon hung high until the night, and the door next door was suddenly pushed open.

The two went out to see, and Sem turned his head to look at them with a sad look, and without saying anything, he walked in directly.
