Take a Door with You

Cao Zhang was dumbfounded after hearing this.

She had just escaped from the disaster, and all she wanted was to find a job to make money, and when she had money, all she wanted was to search and save. She never thought of so many twists and turns.

Looking at Cao Xian again, this big girl is also stupid, she hugged Cao Xin's head and kissed Cao Xin more than a dozen times: "Well, my brother is so smart!"

She hadn't been able to digest Cao Xin's words for a while, but Cao Xin's tone and the imposing rhetorical questions were enough.

Unknown!

The little people seemed to be glowing.

"Sister, don't go crazy!"

Cao Xin pushed away the black and thin elder sister, and without giving his mother time to think, he dug out the two hundred copper coins brought back by the elder brother from the room, and stuffed fifty Dazhong Tongbao in front of the mother and daughter. Go in and urge: "Let's go, let's not buy food for the time being, my brother said that the gang will give it every day. But don't say this to the outside world, everyone in the gang is treated differently, and the relationship with the leader is different. , Everyone gets as much as they want, and if they tell it, they will be hated by others."

Cao Xin continued to pave the way for his daily [Fortune] by coaxing and scaring.

Seeing that Mrs. Cao Zhang was still hesitating, Cao Xin took her with one hand and Cao Xian with the other: "Let's go, let's go find the eldest lady. I've asked about it. She is the most popular in the yard, and she never blushes with others." Just ask her staff to buy a few feet of cloth, our clothes are really not good."

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

I really didn't see it.

"Big lady! Big lady!"

"My mother and eldest sister want to pull some pieces of cloth back to make clothes for me. I am afraid that the cloth they choose is not good. Can my mother help me and take it to see?"

Cao Xin took his old lady and eldest sister, through the front yard, through the hall, to the middle courtyard, and shouted at the first lady, who was Yi Qinghe's house.

Yi Qinghe and Da Niang were in their early fifties and had no children under their knees. Da Niang loved children very much. Among the older generation in the courtyard, this one had the best attitude towards Cao Xin and Cao Liang.

Cao Xin has a thick skin, so he climbs up the ladder, and the big lady is kind-hearted and has no opinion, let her make a breakthrough.

The timing here has to be chosen right.

If Yi Qinghe was at home, the highly respected "guardian" in the courtyard and the recognized "big man" in the courtyard would not be willing to get involved with the Cao family.

But now it was bright and the men in the yard were all out to work, which gave Cao Xin the opportunity to sneak in.

Standing outside the door and calling out, I felt a lot of gazes from other residents of the middle courtyard.

Cao Xin didn't care, and looked at Yi Qinghe's house with his little head stretched out.

Not long.

"Cao Xiaowu."

The first lady came out and was a little surprised when she saw Mrs. Cao Zhang and Cao Xian: "Mother Xiao Wu, Xiao Xian, come, come, come in and sit down."

"Not going in."

"Are you free today, ma'am?"

"It's still cool now, let's go to the market, it's too late, and all the cloth orders are sold out."

Cao Xin's acting skills are astonishing, he acted like a baby and pretended to be innocent.

"ah!"

"Ha ha!"

"How can so many cloths be sold out? Okay, wait a minute. I'll go out with you after I pack up. You just came here. You need an acquaintance to take you with you. There are many ways in this market. If you are not careful You will be trapped."

The first lady chatted while tidying up.

After saying a few words, Cao Zhang was finally not so nervous, and gradually opened up the chatter box. Cao Xian was not a stage fright at all, so he started chatting very quickly.

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

...

After the four left.

In the main room of the central courtyard, one person pushed the door out, and smiled at a rather rich middle-aged and elderly woman at the door of the west wing: "Oh, Mrs. Zhen, these shoes are not ready yet, I think they are almost two months old, This skill is so delicate!"

This rough life, called 'He Dashan', looks like he is forty years old, but he is actually only twenty-nine. He is the chef of the canteen of the Sun Family Textile Factory and the Publishing House. He has superb cooking skills, but he is evasive and has no clue in his mouth. He can often kill his popularity.

For example, now, the Zhen Lu family who lives in the west wing died of her husband in the early years, and her only son died unexpectedly a few years ago. Now she relies on her daughter-in-law with three children to support herself. , Staying at home and doing nothing, making a pair of shoe slippers for two months without making it, too lazy!

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

"Can you manage it!"

Zhen Lushi rolled her eyes at He Dashan.

"Hey!"

"This little old lady!"

He Dashan laughed and joked with Zhen Lushi before asking curiously: "I just heard that someone came to look for Da Ma, is it the Cao family in the front yard?"

"No!"

"Early in the morning, the three of you came together. I think it's not a good thing to be entangled by this family. You have to be careful in the future!"

When Zhen Lushi mentioned this, he immediately became excited, and thought of something again, so he hurriedly reminded He Dashan.

He Dashan was nearly thirty years old and hadn't married a wife yet. All the income from the cafeteria and the little oil and water he brought back every day were given to the orphans and widows of the Zhen family, and the Zhen Lu family and three children were raised.

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

"Put some virtue on your mouth, you, I heard that the boss of the Cao family is a mess on the Caishuihe wharf, so be careful, he put a sack on you and sank the river!"

He Dashan made people talk about good deeds, and he didn't realize that he was the most unreasonable one. He frightened Mrs. Zhen and damaged the reputation of Cao's family in the front yard by the way, so he whistled and wandered out.

"This idiot!"

Zhen Lu gave a pooh behind her back, rolled her eyes, and moved to the front yard, ready to talk to someone again.

...

Cao Xin accompanied Cao Zhangshi, Da Niang, and Cao Xian to go shopping all morning.

Although he really wanted to explore the 'Original Immortal World', the purpose of exploring the 'Original Immortal World' was to let his family live a good life, and he couldn't put the cart before the horse.

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

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

It's not good to 'live' in an upside-down house in a large courtyard, but it's not too late to move when you have enough strength to find a suitable opportunity in the future. Money is no object.

'Food' is the last thing to worry about. For now, Cao Xin has [Good Fortune], and the family will have basic living security in the future. At the same time, he also leaned against a 'primitive fairyland', which he had seen last night, and there were many wild animals there, which could be used for extra meals and nourishing for the family.

The issue of 'clothes', in the final analysis, is money. Now it is impossible to make silk and satin in one step, but it is not a problem to buy a bolt of linen and make two or three clothes by yourself, and use the leftovers to add a pair of shoes.

Therefore, Cao Xin strongly insisted, soft and hard, coupled with the logic of 'buy cloth to make clothes-make friends with neighbors-take jobs and earn money', so Cao Zhang endured distress and spent huge sums of money - 94 articles, Buy a bolt of common linen.

In fact, the cotton cloth that is close to it only costs 140 to 50 Wen in Xijing City, and the Cao family's family property has a total of 170 Wen, which is enough.

However, Cao Xin knew that his old lady would be reluctant to part with it, and the family needed to buy other odds and ends, so he just mentioned it deliberately at the beginning, giving Cao and Zhang some room for compromise, and did not insist.

A piece of cloth consumes most of the family's resources.

Later, without knowing it, I bought a lot of necessities at home.

When Mrs. Cao Zhang realized it, the shopping baskets of himself and the aunt were already full, and the bulging money bag that he had been clutching with his hands when he came out was about to dry out.

"It's getting late, Ma'am, let's go back."

Mrs. Cao and Zhang broke into a cold sweat touching the purse, unwilling to go shopping again.

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: "Mother, let's buy some food and go home."

He took the hand of the eldest lady with his small hand, "Old lady, we will have dinner at home later, we haven't had any guests yet."

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

After an invitation, the aunt finally agreed after Cao Xin's repeated attempts to show off her cuteness.

"Consummation!"

Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to survival, humans are also social animals.

During the half month since the Cao family lived in the courtyard, the elder brother Cao Ren has more or less been in the gang except for a few superficial friends.

Cao Liang is young, and the new things in and out of the courtyard can make him happy alone for a long time.

Cao Xin has a thick skin, and he can talk to adults and children without being afraid of rolling eyes.

But Cao Zhang and Cao Xian were miserable.

The people in the courtyard disliked and rejected them, and they themselves had low self-esteem, so they couldn't integrate into it for a long time. The couple left early and returned late, clearly living in a bustling courtyard, but it was like an isolated island, only the family members could talk.

This obviously doesn't last long.

In the past, the family was short of food and clothing, so Cao Xin couldn't let his mother and eldest sister try to please the people in the courtyard with their tattered faces.

It's different now.

The biggest survival problem is solved, the family situation will gradually improve, and then get along with the old aunt and daughter-in-law in the courtyard, so that they will not be inferior to others.

So early this morning, Cao Xin began to break the ice for the mother and the eldest sister starting from the eldest mother.

Take it slowly in the future, and when everyone finds out that the Cao family does not borrow money, ask for help or harm others, they will gradually accept it.

In this way, when Cao Zhang and Cao Xian are at home, they will not have nowhere to go and nowhere to talk like this morning.
