After Cao Zhang heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.

She had just escaped from the disaster, and she only wanted to find a job to make money. Once she had money, she wanted to save it. She had never thought of so many twists and turns.

Looking at Cao Xian again, this eldest daughter was also stupid. She held Cao Xin's head with her teeth and claws and kissed her for more than a dozen times: "Well, my brother is so smart!"

She couldn't digest what Cao Xin said for a while, but Cao Xin's tone and the powerful rhetorical questions alone were powerful enough.

I don’t know how powerful it is!

The little person seemed to be glowing.

"Sister, don't go crazy!"

Cao Xin pushed away the dark and skinny eldest sister, and without giving me time to think, he dug out the two hundred copper coins that his eldest brother had brought back from the room, and stuffed fifty large and medium-sized Tongbao coins in front of the mother and daughter.

He went in and urged: "Let's go, let's go. There is no need to buy food for the time being. My brother said that the gang provides food every day. But don't say this to others. Everyone in the gang is treated differently, and their relationship with the leader may be distant or close."

, everyone takes as much or as little as they want, if you tell them, you will be hated by others."

Cao Xin continued to pave the way for his daily [good fortune] by coaxing and intimidating him.

Seeing that Mrs. Cao Zhang was still hesitating, Cao Xin held her with one hand and Cao Xian with the other: "Let's go and find the eldest lady. I've asked about it. She is the most popular in the yard and she never flirts with anyone."

. Just ask her consultant to buy a few feet of cloth, our clothes are really not good enough."

Cao Xin looked at the tattered clothes of the family. Compared with the beggars, they were clean.

I really didn't see it.

"Big mother! Big mother!"

"My mother and eldest sister want to pull some pieces of cloth to make clothes for me. I'm afraid that the cloth they chose is not good. Can aunt help me and take it with me to have a look?"

Cao Xin took his mother and eldest sister, passed through the front yard, passed through the hall, came to the middle courtyard, and shouted to the eldest mother, Yi Qinghe's house.

Yi Qinghe and his aunt were in their early fifties and had no children. The aunt loved her children very much. Among the elders in the courtyard, she was the only one who had the best attitude towards Cao Xin and Cao Liang.

Cao Xin is thick-skinned and climbs up the ladder. The aunt is kind-hearted and has no independent opinions, so she is the breakthrough point.

The timing here has to be chosen correctly.

If Yi Qinghe was at home, the highly respected 'bao chief' in the courtyard, the recognized 'eldest master' in the courtyard, would probably not be happy to get involved with the Cao family.

But now it was getting bright and the men in the courtyard had all gone out to work, which gave Cao Xin the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Standing outside the door, I called out and felt a lot of looks from other residents in the courtyard.

Cao Xin didn't care and stretched out his little head to look at Yi Qinghe's house.

Not long after.

"Cao Xiaowu."

The eldest mother came out and was a little surprised to see Mrs. Cao Zhang and Cao Xian: "Xiaowu's mother, Xiaoxian, come on, come on, come home and sit down."

"We won't go in."

"Are you free today, aunt?"

"It's still cool now, let's go to the market quickly. We're going to be late. All the good cloths are sold out."

Cao Xin's acting skills are amazing, he acts coquettishly and pretends to be innocent, which is called a consummate person.

"ah!"

"Ha ha!"

"How can you sell out so much cloth? Okay, just wait a minute. I'll pack it up and then go out with you. You just came here, so you need an acquaintance to take you with you. There are many ways to do it in this market. If you're not careful,

You will be cheated."

The eldest lady was chattering while cleaning up.

After saying a few words, Ms. Cao and Zhang finally became less nervous and gradually started chatting. Cao Xian was not a stage frightened person and soon started chattering.

Then there was Cao Xin who was pretending to be mischievous inside. The atmosphere was very good for a while, and they left the yard after talking and laughing.

…

After the four people left.

In the main room of the middle courtyard, a person pushed the door open and came out. He smiled at a middle-aged and elderly woman who was quite wealthy at the door of the west wing and said: "Hey, Aunt Zhen, these shoes are not ready yet. I think she is almost two months old."

This skill is so delicate!"

This rough life is called "He Dashan". He looks like he is forty years old, but he is actually only twenty-nine. He is the master chef of the cafeteria of the Sun Family Textile Factory and the Publishing House. He has superb cooking skills, but he is a carefree person and has a bad mouth.

If there is no gate, it can often kill the popularity.

For example, Mrs. Zhen Lu, who lives in the west wing, lost her husband in her early years and her only son also died unexpectedly a few years ago. Now she relies on her daughter-in-law with three children to support her. However, she is still a lazy cook and eats white flour steamed buns.

, staying at home and doing nothing, making a pair of shoes and slippers for two months without finishing it, so lazy!

When He Dashan saw it, he couldn't help but say a few words.

"What do you care about?"

Zhen Lu rolled her eyes at He Dashan.

"Hey!"

"This little old lady!"

He Dashan laughed and joked with Mrs. Zhen Lu twice before curiously asking: "I just heard someone came to see Auntie. Is it the Cao family in the front yard?"

"No!"

"My mother and I came here early in the morning. I think it will be bad if you get entangled with this family. You have to be careful in the future!"

When Mrs. Zhen Lu talked about this, she immediately became excited. She thought of something else and quickly reminded He Dashan.

He Dashan was nearly thirty years old and had not yet married. The income he earned from the canteen and the little money he brought home every day were all given to the orphans and widowers of the Zhen family, feeding the Zhen Lu family and their three children.

This is their family’s long-term meal ticket, Zhen Lu is very protective of her food!

"Speak with some virtue, please. I heard that the boss of the Cao family was a gangster at the Caishui River dock. He was careful enough to put a sack on you and sink him into the river!"

He Dashan made people talk about being virtuous, but he didn't realize that he was the worst one. He threatened Aunt Zhen and damaged the reputation of the Cao family in the front yard, and then he whistled and wandered out.

"What a fool!"

Mrs. Zhen Lu sighed behind her, rolled her eyes, and moved to the front yard, ready to find someone to talk to.

…

Cao Xin accompanied Cao Zhang, his aunt, and Cao Xian for shopping all morning.

Although he really wanted to explore the 'original fairyland', the purpose of exploring the 'primitive fairyland' was to let his family live a good life, and he could not put the cart before the horse.

Last night, Cao Xin thought clearly that the most basic things for his family to live a good life are nothing more than the four aspects of 'food, clothing, housing and transportation'.

"Travel" is usually an ox-cart or a horse-drawn carriage, let's not talk about this for now.

It's not a good idea to 'live' in a house in a large courtyard, but it's a new arrival, and the Cao family is currently orphaned and the widowed mother is still very weak. Don't worry about it. When you have enough strength to find a suitable opportunity later, it won't be too late to move. As long as you have

Money is no problem.

There is no need to worry about food. For now, Cao Xin has good fortune, and his family will have basic living security in the future. At the same time, he also has a 'primitive fairyland' on his back. He saw it last night, and there are

There are many wild animals that can be used to supplement meals and nourish the health of the family.

The issue of 'clothing', in the final analysis, is money. Nowadays, we can't make silk and satin in one step, but it is not a problem to buy a piece of linen and make two or three sets of clothes by ourselves, and add one or two pairs of shoes from the leftovers.

Therefore, Cao Xin's strong persistence, hard work, and the logic of "buying cloth to make clothes - making friends with neighbors - taking on jobs to make money" made Cao Zhang endure the pain and spend huge sums of money - Article 94,

Buy a piece of plain linen.

In fact, cotton of inferior quality only costs 140 or 50 cash in Xijing City. The Cao family's total wealth is 170 cash, which is enough.

However, Cao Xin knew that my mother would definitely be reluctant to part with it, and besides, the family would also need to buy other bits and pieces, so he only mentioned it deliberately at the beginning to give Cao Zhang the room to compromise, but did not insist on it.

One piece of cloth consumes most of the household wealth.

Later, I unknowingly bought many more household necessities.

By the time Cao Zhang came to his senses, the handbaskets he and his wife had in hand were already full, and the bulging purses they had been clutching when they came out were almost dry to the bottom.

"It's getting late, auntie, let's go back."

Mrs. Cao Zhang broke into a cold sweat when she touched her money bag and didn't want to go shopping any more.

Cao Xin was beside him, carrying the piece of linen with his sister Cao Xian, who was grinning like a fool. Hearing this, he raised his head and said to Cao Zhang, "Mom, let's buy some food and go back."

Then he held the aunt's hand with his little hand and said, "Auntie, we will have dinner at home later. We haven't had any guests yet."

Mrs. Cao Zhang also reacted and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! My sister-in-law will have lunch at home."

After being invited, the eldest lady finally agreed after Cao Xin's repeated cuteness.

"Perfection!"

Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to survival, humans are also social animals.
