Chapter 4 Calculations
After hearing this, Cao Zhang was stunned.
She had just escaped from the disaster and wanted to find a job to make money. When she had money, she wanted to save it. She didn't think of so many twists and turns.
Looking at Cao Xian again, this eldest daughter was also stupid. She hugged Cao Xin's head and kissed her for more than a dozen times: "Ah~ My brother is so smart!"
She had not been able to digest Cao Xin's long words for a while, but just from Cao Xin's tone and those momentum replies, it was powerful enough.
Unclear and powerful!
The little people seem to be glowing.
"Sister, don't go crazy!"
Cao Xin pushed away the black and thin eldest sister, and without giving me time to think, he took out the two hundred copper coins that the eldest brother brought back from the room, and stuffed fifty big-sized Tongbao in front of the mother and daughter, urging him: "Let's go, let's go, you don't need to buy food for the time being. My brother said that it is given to the gang every day. But don't say this, everyone in the gang treats differently, and their relationships are far and near, and everyone takes more or less, and they are jealous when they say it."
Cao Xin coaxed and scared him, and continued to lay the foundation for his daily [Future].
Seeing that Cao Zhang was still hesitating, Cao Xin held her with one hand and Cao Xian with the other: "Let's go and find an aunt. I've inquired. She is the most popular in the yard and never blushed. She said that she asked her to help her buy a few feet of cloth. This clothes in our family really don't work."
Cao Xin looked at the family's ragged clothes, and compared with beggars, he was better than cleanliness.
Really no sight.
"One aunt! One aunt!"
"My mother and my elder sister want to pull a few pieces of cloth back to make clothes for me. I'm afraid that the cloth they chose is not good. Can the aunt help me and take it to see?"
Cao Xin pulled my mother, elder sister, through the front yard, through the hall, and came to the middle yard, and shouted at the old lady, Yi Qinghe's house.
Yi Qinghe and the first aunt must be in their early fifties and have no children under their knees. The first aunt likes children tightly. Among the older generation in the yard, this one is the best attitude towards Cao Xin and Cao Liang.
Cao Xin was thick-skinned and climbed up the lever. An old lady was kind-hearted and had no opinion, so she made a breakthrough from her.
The timing here must be chosen correctly.
If Yi Qinghe was at home, this respected "security chief" in the courtyard, the recognized "first uncle" in the courtyard, would be unwilling to be involved with the Cao family.
But now it was dawn and the men in the yard went out to work, which gave Cao Xin the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Standing outside the door and calling, I felt that other residents of the Intermediate Court looked at me.
Cao Xin didn't care, so he stretched his head and looked at Yi Qinghe's house.
Not long.
"Cao Xiaowu."
The old lady walked out and saw Cao Zhang and Cao Xian a little surprised: "Xiao Wu's mother, Xiao Xian, come and come and sit in the house."
"I won't go in."
"Auntie is free today?"
"It's still cool now. Let's go to the market quickly. If you go late, you'll sell all the good cloths."
Cao Xin's acting skills are amazing, and he acts simple in acting like a spoiled business, which is a perfect person.
"ah!"
"Ha ha!"
"How can I sell so many cloths? Okay, wait, I'll pack up and go out with you. You just came here, so I have to have an acquaintance with you. There are many tricks in the market, and you will be cheated if you are accidentally."
An old lady was tidying up while chatting.
After a few words, Cao Zhang finally became less nervous and gradually started talking. Cao Xian was not a stage fright and soon started chattering.
Cao Xin pretended to be a little trick inside, and the atmosphere was very good for a while. He left the yard after talking and laughing.
...
After the four left.
In the main room of the middle courtyard, one person pushed the door out and rushed to a wealthy middle-aged and elderly woman at the entrance of the west wing and smiled and said, "Oh, Aunt Zhen, these shoes are not ready yet. I think it's almost two months old. This skill is so fine!"
The rough life is called "He Dashan". It looks forty years old, but in fact it is only twenty-nine. It is the master of the canteen of Sun Family Textile Factory and the printing company. It has superb cooking skills, but she is free and has no door in her mouth. She often makes people so popular.
For example, now, Zhen Lu, who lives in the west wing, died her husband in her early years. Her only son died unexpectedly a few years ago. Now she relies on her daughter-in-law who has three children to support herself. She is still a lazy person who eats white flour and steamed buns. She stays at home and does nothing. She has made a pair of shoes and has been unmade for two months. She is so lazy!
When He Dashan saw it, he couldn't help but talk poorly.
"Do you care about it?"
Zhen Lu rolled his eyes at He Dashan.
"Hey!"
"This little old lady!"
He Dashan laughed and joked with Zhen Lushi before asking curiously: "I just heard someone come to find an aunt, is it the Cao family in the front yard?"
"Not!"
"Early in the morning, the three of you came together. Look, it's impossible to get entangled by this family. You have to be careful in the future!"
Zhen Lu was immediately excited when he talked about this, and thought of another thing, and hurriedly reminded He Dashan.
He Dashan is nearly thirty years old and has not married a wife. The income he brought back in the cafeteria every day is all supported to the orphan and widowed mother of the Zhen family, raising the Zhen Lu family and three children.
This is their family’s long-term meal ticket, and Zhen Lu’s family is very protective of food!
"You're a little bit of virtue, I heard that the boss of the Cao family is a gangster at the Caishui River Wharf. Be careful, people will put a sack on you and sank the river!"
He Dashan made people accumulate virtue, and he didn't realize that he was the most unreasonable one. He scared Aunt Zhen and also damaged the reputation of the Cao family in the front yard. Then he whistled and walked out.
"This stupid guy!"
Zhen Lu spat behind her back, her eyes turned, and she moved to the front yard, preparing to find someone to talk.
...
Cao Xin accompanied Cao Zhang, the eldest lady, and Cao Xian for a whole morning.
Although he really wanted to explore the "primitive fairy world", the purpose of exploring the "primitive fairy world" was to let his family live a good life and not put the cart before the horse.
Last night, Cao Xin thought clearly that the most basic thing to make his family live a good life is nothing more than the four aspects of "food, clothing, housing and transportation".
"Yes" are usually ox carts and horse carts, so I won't talk about this for now.
It is not good to live in a large slum, but it is not good to have a new arrival, and the Cao family is still very weak and there is no need to worry about it. When they have enough strength to find a suitable opportunity in the future, it will not be too late to move, as long as they have money, it is not a problem.
There is no need to worry about ‘food’. As for now, Cao Xin has [lucky], and the family will have basic living security in the future. At the same time, he also has a ‘primitive fairy world’ back. He saw it last night that there are many wild animals there, which can be used for extra meals to raise their families.
The problem of 'clothes' is still money after all. Now I can't get silk and satin in one step, but it's not a problem to buy a piece of linen to make two or three pieces of clothes by myself, and put a piece of scraps or two pairs of shoes.
Therefore, Cao Xin insisted strongly, and he tried to help himself. In addition, the logic of "buying cloth to make clothes - making friends with neighbors - making money for jobs and making money" made Cao Zhang bear the pain and spent a huge amount of money to buy an ordinary linen.
In fact, the smallest cotton cloth is only 140 or 50 cents in Xijing City, and the Cao family's family's total assets are 170 cents, which is enough.
However, Cao Xin knew that my mother would definitely not be willing to let it go, and the family had to buy other pieces of money, so he just deliberately mentioned it at the beginning, giving Cao Zhang a room to compromise and did not insist.
A piece of cloth consumes most of the family's money.
Later, I bought a lot of necessities at home without realizing it.
When Cao Zhang realized it, his and the aunt's carrying basket was already full, and when he came out, he kept holding his hands, and his bulging wallet was almost dry and shriveled.
"It's getting late, my aunt, let's go back."
Cao Zhang touched his wallet and broke out in a cold sweat, unwilling to go shopping again.
Cao Xin was beside him, carrying the linen with his sister Cao Xian who was grinning like a fool. Hearing this, he looked up at Cao Zhang and said, "Mom, let's buy some vegetables and go back."
He held the old lady's hand with his little hand, "One aunt, I'll have dinner at home later, and there hasn't been a guest in our house yet."
Cao Zhang also reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! My sister-in-law will eat at home at noon."
After an invitation, the old lady finally agreed after Cao Xin's repeated cuteness.
“Complete!”
Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to survival, humans are also social animals.
For more than half a month since the Cao family moved into the slum, the eldest brother Cao Ren has been in the gang, more or less a few superficial friends.
Cao Liang is young, and the latest news inside and outside the courtyard can make him happy for a long time.
Cao Xin is thick-skinned and can talk to adults and children, not afraid of rolling his eyes.
But Cao Zhang and Cao Xian were in trouble.
The people in the yard disliked and rejected them. They were also inferior, so they couldn't get in. The mother and mother went out early and returned late, and clearly lived in the bustling slum, but they looked like an isolated island, and only the family could talk.
This obviously won't last long.
In the past, the family was short of food and clothing and had no regard for this, so Cao Xin could not let his mother and elder sister have a shabby face to please the people in the yard.
Now different.
The biggest survival problem is solved, and the family situation can gradually improve. If you get along with the old aunt and wife in the yard, you will not be inferior.
So early this morning, Cao Xin started to break the ice for his mother and elder sister from the beginning.
Take your time and wait until everyone finds out that the Cao family does not borrow money, ask for help, and does not harm others, and will accept it slowly.
When Cao Zhang and Cao Xianxian were at home, they would not have nowhere to go and talk like this morning.
