This era was a time to eat a huge pot of rice. Everyone had to work together, depending on the income from their labor, and then distribute what they could get.

Mother Cao answered and quickly finished the last mouthful of rice in her bowl. She stood up and reminded Cao Xiaoxia to be careful on her way to school and also told her eldest daughter to stay at home and watch over the house.

"Mom." Cao Xiaoxia called out to her, "I'll go with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say that you can't see that much, it's tiring." Although she had become a widow a long time ago, Mother Cao was also a nimble woman who worked as hard as any man. She carried the entire family on her frail shoulders, especially the two daughters, who were in so much pain that their eyes were like eyeballs.

Cao Xiaolian saw that her mother was adamant, so she thought of another way to make money.

After Mother Cao and her sister left, Cao Xiaoling washed the dishes and washed the wok. After that, she cleaned up the house and decided to go out for a walk.

He could not do it behind closed doors. What if he encountered some good idea outside?

After all, she was someone who had been reborn thirty years later. Whether it was in terms of knowledge or knowledge, she should be slightly more knowledgeable.

After packing up, Cao Xiaolian changed into a set of clean and coarse clothes, hung up the door and walked towards the village entrance.

At this time, there were no one in the village. Everyone was working in the fields. Cao Xiaolian walked very fast. When she reached the entrance of the village, she met Grandpa Li.

Uncle Li was the accountant for the village's supply and marketing agency. He was carrying sacks to the tractor. When he saw Cao Xiaolian, he casually greeted her, "Xiao Lian is out."

This girl was famous for her arrogance in the village. She heard that a few days ago, for the sake of the youth in the city, she had bumped into Mother Cao at first sight.

It was just a casual question, but he did not expect her to reply. He did not expect Cao Xiaolan to say with a smile, "Yes, Uncle Li, what are you doing?"

Grandpa Li was stunned for a moment, but everyone in the village was simple and honest. Seeing that this girl was so cheerful, they thought that she had died once before and replied with a smile, "This is not like Hu Sheng and co. fishing by the river. I'll go to the supply agency in the town and see how many points they can get."

As he spoke, he puffed on his pipe.

Cao Xiaolian did not expect Grandpa Li to go to town. Coincidentally, she also wanted to go to town to try her luck.

"Uncle Li." Cao Xiaolian was a little embarrassed, "Then can you stop me? It just so happens that I want to visit the town as well. "

Grandpa Li agreed readily, and Cao Xiaolan followed him into the car.

Even though he was sitting in front, the strong fishy smell behind him made him choke.

"We have to go faster." Grandpa Li was a bit embarrassed. He knocked on the pipe with his feet. "This road is not smooth. It is bumpy when you drive too fast."

"It's okay, this is the first time I'm riding a tractor." Cao Xiaoxia laughed, "How impressive. It's much better than an oxcart."

People in the village go to town to either walk or ride in ox-carts.

"Hehe, that's right!" He rubbed the front of his car with his callused hands and said, "This is the only big car in our village. You are also the first person other than the members of our supply shop to ride on it."

Cao Xiaolian took the opportunity to say a lot of good things, causing Grandpa Li to laugh out loud. He felt that this Cao family's little girl was not as cold as the others had made her out to be.

Isn't this a good little girl, to be said to be like that? Grandpa Li decided that in the future, when the old woman in the family would gossip about the Cao family's little girl, he would not agree to any of it.

It wasn't too far to drive a tractor on a 10-kilometer-long road. When Cao Xiaolian got off the car, Grandpa Li had already volunteered for her to come back to the supply shop to meet him when night came.

After bidding farewell to Grandpa Li, Cao Xiaolian began to walk around.

Actually, she wasn't that familiar with the town. At that time, before she married Wang Ziwen, she came to the town and bought some dowry, making the surrounding girls extremely envious.

Why did he think of this?

Cao Xiaolian cursed herself. She found her destination based on her memory.

Yes, she was the only commercial building in town.

The building, in fact, was only three stories high. After the rapid development of the building, of course, it was rather shabby. But now, it was truly magnificent.

Cao Xiaolian walked into the building. She looked at the signboard and went straight up to the third floor.

The current shopping mall was not the same as it would be in 20 years. They opened up a long corridor, and there were all sorts of counters near the wall. For example, the first floor was selling face cleaning cosmetics, toys, and food. Furniture and appliances were on the second floor, and clothing and clothing were on the third.

As there was no shelter, the moment he went upstairs, he was seen by the sales clerk.

Cao Xiaolian was still feeling nervous as she tried to figure out how she could achieve her goals. She didn't expect the sales clerk to just glance at her and ignore her.

After all, she was used to flocking wherever she went in her previous life. Other people treated her like an emperor and such a sudden drop in power was really hard to adapt to.

However, when he looked down, he understood.

So it turns out that although her clothes were washed very cleanly, it wasn't hard to tell that they were ordinary coarse clothes. One look at them was enough to tell that they were shabby.

Hesitating, she stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Big Sis, do you have any material for the silk?"

The salesgirl with a round plate looked at Cao Xiaoling and said, "Sister, if you really want to buy clothes, just look at some useful ones. Silk is nice, but it's not for you to wear."

His words were full of sincerity.

Weird, just a moment ago the heart that was still a little apprehensive, at this moment do not know if it is because of the other party's words, but all at once disappear.

She laughed. "Big sister, looking at my appearance, of course I'm not wearing it. I asked for my employer's help, her relative is getting married next month. She said that she wants to pull some silk to get a tailor to make clothes for her."

Hearing that, the elder sister looked at her doubtfully and said softly, "Your employer?"

"That's right, big sister. I work as a nanny in the town." Cao Xiaolian smiled brightly, "I'm here to take a look."

"Aiya, so that's how it is." The sales clerk immediately smiled. "I was wondering why you couldn't wear silk even if you were like that big sister. That thing is expensive, but if you wear it to the ground, you'll probably get a hole in it in a short time."

Cao Xiaolian pursed her lips and smiled. If she was the same person in the past who adored vanity, perhaps she would be angry or embarrassed from embarrassment. Now that she had been reborn into a new life, she felt that they were right. Silk was such an expensive item. Even though she had been saving money to buy it, she had never worn it before.

The fat salesperson quickly moved in the cloth and opened it to give her a detailed introduction.

At the end of her sentence, she said generously, "Big sister, actually, when you go back, you better tell her that you came here to take a look. Moreover, if we buy five feet of cloth here, we can even make a set for free."

The key point was where was this person!

Cao Xiaolian's face did not change but her heart skipped a beat, "Fine, the key is that she is a teacher of the people. She is usually too busy, so let me have a look first."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Cao Xiaoling felt a bit regretful.

There was only one school in town, and the current teacher was different from the one in the future. His current occupation, teachers, soldiers, were all extremely popular.

As expected, the sales clerk stared blankly for a moment, then approached in a very gossipy manner, "Ah, teacher, what's your surname? If you tell me, I might even know."

Cao Xiaolan was trying to drive the ducks into the fray, so it was hard to say.

She suddenly remembered that her sister, Cao Xiaoxia's homeroom teacher was surnamed Li. She casually said, "Ah, surnamed Li, what's your name?"

Lee's a big name. I guess he's got a few in a single school.

Sure enough, when the sales clerk heard this, she began to mutter, "Aiya, there are quite a few teachers in the school who are surnamed Li. I don't know their names, but I don't know them."

Cao Xiaolian was relieved and said with a smile, "Sister, what else is there to look at? Show it to me."

As it was the teachers' house, the salesgirl did not hold back and brought the items over. Cao Xiaolian looked at it, touched it, and asked for the price. She had a rough idea.

"Alright, I've seen enough." She put down her cloth and smiled. "I'll go back and tell her and see which one she chooses."

He sincerely suggested: "Sister, not just you, but you have to persuade her to look for herself. You said that everyone has a different opinion on things, and that maybe she doesn't like them, and what you don't like might be what they want. If you buy incorrectly, you will end up complaining about it. "

Cao Xiaoling pursed her lips and smiled. "That's right, but she's too busy. Sigh, if only we had a picture to bring back to her."

The sales clerk slapped his forehead. "Wait a moment."

She wriggled to the place where the cloth was. There were several cardboard boxes under the shelves.

After searching for a long time, she came back with another handful of items.

"Take a look." She put everything she had on the glass counter and said to Cao Xiaoling, "These are the leftovers from making clothes. Although they are small, they look like they can be easily touched. They look much worse than the pictures."

Upon seeing this, Cao Xiaolan was extremely excited.

Her purpose of coming here this time was to get some small pieces of cloth. She had originally wanted to ask how she could get these, but she didn't expect the sales clerk to give them to her on his own accord.

"Big Sis, you're really a good person." She was truly touched. At the same time, she felt ashamed of her little scheme. "Big Sis, if there's anything in the future, I'll come and find you."

If she could succeed this time, she planned to work with this salesperson for a long period of time. This way, she would be able to give him some commission.

"Hai, there's no use putting some rags here." The sales clerk laughed. "If we really miss Big Sis, we should advertise more in the future. We still have a task of 200 yuan per month."

Cao Xiaolian took the opportunity to ask, "Big Sis, it's two hundred yuan, can you sell it for that much every month?"

Currently, the average salary was around ten yuan. For good units like teachers, they could earn thirty yuan a month. Two hundred yuan was equivalent to a year's worth of income for many people.

"Sister, you don't know about this, right?" The sales clerk said, "Don't just look at this town, it has a population of three to five hundred thousand. It's also just a shopping mall, like making clothes and giving gifts when getting married. Come and buy some."

Cao Xiaolian thought for a while, and then asked, "Sister, what is your surname?" "When I return, I was still looking for you."

The sales clerk was also very straightforward. "My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Lifen. Go back and let her see. If she's alright, then please do so. Except for Wednesday, the tailor will be available all the time."

"Sigh!" Cao Xiaolian laughed, "Sister Chen, my name is Cao Xiaolan. I might have to trouble you from now on."

When Cao Xiaolian went downstairs, she was thinking that her luck was not bad. She thought that this salesperson was quite shrewd and powerful. She didn't expect that it would be easy to become familiar with her.

However, this thought only lasted until the second floor.

When she reached the staircase on the second floor, she looked down at a bag of rags in her hand and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ouch!"
