Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

He rubbed his hands, looked at Yuanchun a little embarrassedly, and said, "Chun girl, can you sell me those drawings you gave me? I... I will buy them all for twenty yuan, and I will also give you a few small stools, a washboard, and a chopping board. These things can be used at home."

"I have a few ready-made shoulder poles here. You can take one home for use."

"Uncle Lao Niu, if you like those drawings, just take them. It doesn't cost any money. I just drew them on a whim. If you want them, I can draw more for you."

Lao Niu immediately frowned and said seriously, "No, I can't take your things for free. I'll make you a cart. If you move out, you'll need a cart at home."

Shanwazi gave her a look, meaning, see, I was right.

Yuanchun smiled helplessly and agreed, "Uncle Lao Niu, I'll sell it to you at your price of twenty yuan. You gave me the small stool, chopping board, washboard and shoulder pole, and I accepted them shamelessly. But I have to pay for the cart. I really need a cart. I know that Uncle Lao Niu charges ten yuan for a cart. So don't pay me, just make me two more carts."

After the deal was done, Lao Niu was very happy. He said, "Chun Yazi, while the snow on the ground is not too thick, Shan Wazi and I will send the finished furniture to your home."

"Uncle Lao Niu, there are too many pieces of furniture to load in one trip. I'll go back and call my brother to come and help."

After Yuanchun finished speaking, she ran back home, called her brothers, and brought the two carts from home.

There were so many people and cars that they transported all the finished furniture to the new house in one trip.

Under Yuanchun's command, the brothers helped to put all the furniture in place, and they became jealous.

"Yuanchun, your closet is so big, how many clothes can it hold?"

"This cabinet is great, it can be used for storage and it's beautiful. When you separate, I will give each of you a cabinet."

"I made this table rectangular on purpose. This shape looks better than a square one, and it can accommodate more people."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you have all started your own families and careers. I estimate that next year mom and dad will separate the family property from you. When you separate the family property, I will give each of you a set of furniture."

"Also, I'll tell you a secret." Yuanchun coughed twice and looked outside. Seeing that Uncle Niu and his son had left and there were no outsiders, she lowered her voice and said, "I overheard someone say last time in the imperial capital that next month, in mid-December, our country's economy will open, which means that we ordinary people can do business, and buying and selling things is legal, and we don't have to be sneaky anymore."
