Li Mei, 39 years old.
Since her husband broke his calf in an accident, she quit her job at the factory and came home to take care of her husband's food and daily life.
After returning home, Li Mei not only lost her source of income, but also had to spend a large amount of living expenses every month, and her husband temporarily lost his labor force, and the family relied on her to live.
My hometown is not as good as the coastal area, and it is not easy to find an easier job, and it is much more difficult to make money than in the coastal city.
In addition to a few acres of land at home, the rest of the income can only rely on odd jobs, and at the end of a busy day, he can earn 180 yuan, and it is quite hard.
Li Mei has no choice, and in order to make money, she can only grit her teeth and insist, after all, several people in the family are still counting on her!
Her husband can't work in the fields for the time being, and if she doesn't support the family, who can help her? Li Mei thinks that she is the only one who can help herself, so she also works quite hard, just to earn more money to subsidize the family.
That's it, it's still very unstable.
The boss of the contracted land said that if there is a job, he can only stay at home and wait, and it is basically impossible to think that he can work every day.
On this day, Li Mei got up early for breakfast and left home on an electric car.
Last night, she received a notice from other people in the village that a boss had come to their town to buy chili peppers, and he wanted to find more than 20 workers to help them pick them in the field, and he would pay five cents for a pound of chili peppers.
Counting by the pound, how much money you can make depends on your hand speed.
After receiving the notice, Li Mei immediately agreed to do it, and it is very simple to do this kind of work faster and earn 200 yuan a day.
The chili peppers they pick are the kind of particularly large line peppers, and it is very easy to pick a few hundred catties a day, but if they pick millet spicy, the price is very low! After all, it takes a lot of effort to pick one pound of millet spicy.
Half an hour later, Li Mei came to the greenhouse pepper field in the town on time, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went into the greenhouse to pick peppers with the bag on her back.
If you pick more, you can make more money, Li Mei thought in her heart.
Since her husband Zhao Ming broke his calf, the family's main source of income has been cut off, and later spent a lot of money to treat Zhao Ming's illness.
After Li Mei quit her job and went home, another major source of income for her family plummeted, and now that there is an opportunity to make money, Li Mei will naturally not let it go.
Picking and picking, Li Mei suddenly heard a few sounds of wings flapping from the pepper forest.
She picked up the pepper seedlings and searched for a few minutes, only to find that there was a magpie lying in the corner near the edge of the greenhouse.
Li Mei looked up and suddenly understood.
The shed above her head had a big hole, and the wind was blowing inside.
The magpie probably didn't see the plastic greenhouse underneath clearly, and crashed headfirst into the greenhouse during the flight.
Although the plastic sheet had a hole, the magpie seemed to be injured a lot, and it kept fluttering on the ground, as if it was very uncomfortable.
Li Mei picked up the magpie and examined it, and found that its feet and wings were broken, and it was unlikely that it would be able to fly again!
“唧唧喳喳…… 吱吱吱……”。
At this moment, Li Mei suddenly heard a bird's call.
She looked up and saw that another magpie had come to the shed above her head, running around and calling all the time.
Li Mei looked at the magpie in her hand and said with a smile: "Is the bird above your family? It seems to be looking for you."
The injured magpie didn't respond to Li Mei, and shrank his head in her hand, which made Li Mei smile bitterly and shake her head, why is she so stupid?
In order not to make the other magpie on the roof anxious, after Li Mei left the greenhouse, she put the injured magpie in an open place outside, and the magpie on the roof hurriedly flew down after seeing the injured magpie, and gathered around it and chirped non-stop.
Seeing this, Li Mei sighed slightly.
The magpie's wings and claws were broken, and it was almost impossible for it to fly again, and it was not known how long it would live in such a state.
The magpie matter was just an accident for Li Mei, her main task was to pick peppers, and after sending the magpie out, she entered the greenhouse to continue picking, and she was reluctant to delay for a moment.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the workers left the greenhouse one after another.
More than 20 workers kept picking, and there was basically not much left of the peppers in the greenhouse after a busy day's work, Li Mei's benefits were quite good, she picked a total of 520 catties.
According to five cents a catty, her income today can be two hundred and sixty yuan.
can get this income, Li Mei is also quite satisfied!
After weighing, Li Mei got her salary very smoothly, and doing odd jobs is good, she will check out every day after work, and she will never delay time.
After Li Mei got the money, she was about to ride home, when she suddenly found that the magpie she had put in the open space in the morning was still there, and the other magpie did not leave, but brought a lot of insects to feed it.
This scene touched Li Mei's heart a little.
After her husband was injured, she seemed to take care of him like this.
She didn't expect that the little bird would have such affection.
"Since you are so affectionate and righteous, I will help you too!"
Li Mei muttered to herself.
Then, she parked the electric car, walked to the injured magpie and picked it up, turned her head to the other magpie and said: "I want to find a way to cure it, I can't guarantee whether it can be recovered, if you come along, you will not lack food and drink in the future."
Li Mei didn't care whether it understood or not, and after finishing speaking, she put the injured magpie into the basket in front of the electric car, and how did the other magpie know Li Mei's thoughts? Seeing Li Mei take the injured magpie away, it immediately flew up and chirped non-stop.
Li Mei didn't care about it, and rushed home with the injured magpie.
After a few minutes, Li Mei turned her head and glanced back, and found that the other magpie did not follow, which made her a little disappointed, and she smiled herself, how can the little bird understand the thoughts of humans?
It probably thinks that its mate has been captured by a great ape!
In the eyes of animals, is there any difference between humans and apes? There seems to be no difference.
……。
After returning home, Li Mei took the injured magpie out of the basket and put it on the table, and her husband Zhao Ming saw that Li Mei had brought back a magpie, so he asked, "Wife, aren't you going to pick chili peppers?
Li Mei glanced at Zhao Ming and said with a smile: "I see that this magpie's leg is broken, and I want to treat it."
After that, Li Mei briefly told Zhao Ming what happened to picking chili peppers today, and Zhao Ming felt a little emotional after hearing it.
Since his lower leg was broken, the burden of this family has fallen on Li Mei, if she didn't have a little love and responsibility, it is estimated that she would have left this family a long time ago! She can take care of him Zhao Ming, and she will also be touched by other things.
The reason why Li Mei wanted to treat this magpie was probably because he thought that if someone helped him, Zhao Ming's leg would not become what it is now.
He sighed secretly and said, "Don't mess around, I remember that Xiaoya opened a pet hospital in the city, and I know how much about this, she just came back yesterday, you take it to her to see if you can save it, don't do bad things with good intentions."
Li Mei was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "I'm still worried about how to treat it! I'll go to Xiaoya and ask how to make this little guy recover."
Li Mei said that, and left in a hurry!
Seeing this, Zhao Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then went to the kitchen in a wheelchair, although he had a broken lower leg, it was still okay to do some basic housework.
Half an hour later, Li Mei returned!
When Zhao Ming saw her come back, he asked, "How is it?"
Li Mei nodded when she heard the words and said, "Yes, it's just that Xiaoya didn't bring anything when she came back this time, she asked me to give her the magpie, and she brought it back for treatment every day, and brought it back to me when it was cured."
Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Wife, the meal is ready, you come over and bring the dishes out, let's eat!"
Li Mei went out to work, and he couldn't do anything else at home, so he could only make Li Mei as relaxed as possible, and he could have a hot meal when he came back.
Li Mei nodded, went into the kitchen and brought all the dishes outside, called the two young children, and asked them to wash their hands and eat too.
……。
A week later.
Li Mei's niece Xiaoya sent the magpie back, and through her simple bandaging and treatment, this magpie is basically not life-threatening, but due to the serious wing fracture, even if it can recover from the injury, it is still unknown whether it can fly.
When Li Mei heard this, she was slightly disappointed in her heart.
However, she did not abandon this magpie, and raised it first according to the method of Xiao Yajiao, to see if she could have a chance to recover completely.
In this way, in order to raise this magpie, Li Mei specially built a bird's nest on the roof of the building, and in order to imitate the magpie's nest, she even went to pick up many small branches.
Magpies are resident birds, they choose fixed mates and fixed nests, so the magpies' nests expand every year and their nests get bigger and bigger.
After setting up a shelter for the magpie, Li Mei released it from its cage and moved it into its new home.
Looking at the magpie in the bird's nest, Li Mei named it Xiaoxi.
On this day, Li Mei was trying to feed Xiaoxi, she just went to the top of the building, she heard the sound of chirping from the bird's nest, she quietly approached to see, the bird's nest did not know when there was an extra magpie.
Since the magpies are almost the same, Li Mei can't tell if it's the magpie from some time ago, and the extra magpie flew out immediately after discovering Li Mei, hovering in the sky and screaming.
When Li Mei saw that it was so excited, she immediately smiled.
It seems that this magpie is the one from some time ago, otherwise it would not be so excited, it seems that it regards Li Mei as a natural enemy.
Li Mei didn't bother to bother with it, and left some bread worms in the bird's nest before leaving!
A few days later, Li Mei went upstairs again to feed Xiaoxi.
When Li Mei came to the top of the building, she found that the bird's nest she had made for Xiaoxi had been demolished! The branches on the ground were scattered all over the ground, which made Li Mei a little angry, her child would not make trouble, the only possibility was a wild cat or other small animals.
Li Mei is still a little worried about Xiaoxi, if there are really other wild cats or small animals to make trouble, then Xiaoxi, who has difficulty moving, will be in danger!
Thinking of this, Li Mei didn't dare to delay, and after finding that there was no trace of Xiaoxi on the ground, she looked around.
A few minutes later, another bird's nest was found under the solar water heater next to Li Mei's old bird's nest.
Xiaoxi was safe and sound, and after seeing Li Mei, she struggled out of the bird's nest, as if to say, "I am not from the past".
Seeing this, Li Mei smiled helplessly, this bird's nest knew at a glance that it was built by another magpie, and that magpie would rather build a nest alone than live in her, it seems that she is really treated as a natural enemy!
If it weren't for Xiaoxi's inconvenience, Li Mei estimated that it would have left with Xiaoxi a long time ago, after all, the roof of humans is not so safe for them.
Li Mei picked up Xiaoxi and was about to say a few words.
At this moment, her hand suddenly froze, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Xiaoxi's new home.
In this not very luxurious bird's nest, there were a bunch of golden necklaces, which were interspersed with the branches and turf in the bird's nest and became a part of the bird's nest, like a golden thread, turning this ordinary bird's nest into a golden nest.
She didn't see Xiaoxi blocking her vision before, and when Xiaoxi fluttered out of the bird's nest, Li Mei found that the bottom of the bird's nest was a gold necklace.
Li Mei frowned, she put Xiaoxi next to her, and reached out to pull out a gold necklace in the bird's nest.
She took the necklace to her eyes and looked at it closely.
"Hey, it's a gold necklace."
Li Mei frowned and said with some surprise.
When Li Mei worked in a big city before, she had worked in a gold shop for two years, and she only needed to distinguish whether this chain was gold or not!
In order to confirm her thoughts, she went downstairs to find a pair of scissors to cut the necklace, and found that the texture on the side was exactly the same.
This further confirms Li Mei's idea.
She pulled out all the gold necklaces in the bird's nest, counted six in total, and went downstairs to weigh them and found that they contained 178 grams.
This gram can be worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.
This made Li Mei's heart tense all of a sudden, with so many gold necklaces, where did the magpie get it?
After going downstairs, Li Mei hurriedly informed Zhao Ming of the incident.
After Zhao Ming learned about it, he said with a smile: "Wife, what are you doing to save Xiaoxi's life, and another magpie got these gold necklaces as building materials for the bird's nest, which may be unintentional, but for you, it is indeed a windfall."
"I think, this is fate, if you hadn't treated Xiaoxi in the first place, another magpie wouldn't have followed, and there wouldn't have been a separate bird's nest, and there would have been no such gold necklaces."
"It's a reward for your kindness, don't think too much about it."
When Li Mei heard this, she felt a little emotional.
After Zhao Ming said this, she felt a little suddenly enlightened in her heart, this link is indispensable.
So, this person, you still have to do more good deeds, and who knows one day, your kindness will be returned to you?
