Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

This made sense. Luo Xiufen smiled and said nothing more.

With the oil lamp, the three of them could sit together and chat. Xue Xiaotao took the basket, looked at it, and repaired all the holes.

She was very dexterous, and the basket looked much more beautiful after Xue Xiaotao wove it.

"Sister, you are so skillful." Xue Xiaozhu watched her work and praised her several times.

Xue Xiaotao's face flushed a little from the praise: "It's nothing. Every girl in the village can weave something. I'm not particularly good at it."

It's not just girls who can weave things, men can do it too. Everyone wants to save as much as possible, so they make things like baskets and shoulder poles by themselves.

Although sometimes it doesn’t look very good, as long as it can be used, they are not picky.

"The basket is ready! I'll put the things in it." Xue Xiaozhu put all the things he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative today into the basket and covered it with a cloth.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow!" I guess I have to get up before dawn.

After washing up, the three of them lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Xue Xiaozhu went to bed early and got up early. When she opened her eyes, she rubbed them hard, gently pushed the window, and saw that it was still dark outside.

Otherwise, it is not easy to make money. The conditions are extremely poor and you have to squeeze in time to make money.

It would be nice to have a watch, Xue Xiaozhu yawned, thinking that buying a watch would be a long time coming. A watch would cost about a hundred yuan, which she couldn't afford.

"Sister, are we leaving?" Xue Xiaotao quickly put on her clothes and shoes.

The room was still dark. After the oil lamp was lit, the two men brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and became fully awake.

Xue Xiaozhu pushed the bicycle out and pinched the two tires. They were fully inflated!

"Mom, my eldest sister and I are leaving. I'll leave the housework to you." Seeing Luo Xiufen also got up, Xue Xiaozhu gave her some instructions and took her eldest sister out of the village.

Xue Xiaozhu fixed the flashlight on the front of the bicycle, so it was very cool to ride at this time.

Xue Xiaozhu remembered the road she had walked once very clearly. Although the road was still so bad, without the sun, she felt that riding a bicycle was more comfortable than during the day.

"Sister, when you can ride a bicycle, we can take turns riding."

"Okay, I will definitely learn to ride a bike well." Xue Xiaotao nodded vigorously while carrying a basket on her back.

She actually had something she had always wanted to ask, but was afraid that her younger sister would be unhappy if she asked.

"Sister, if we collect people's eggs and sell them in the city, will we get caught?"

In the past, people in the city would catch speculators and send them to jail if they were caught.

Even if you are a migrant worker in the city, if you are reported, you will have to go to labor reform.

They always go into the city to sell eggs. Will they be reported and arrested?

"No, when we entered the city, didn't you notice a lot of people pushing small stalls to sell things? There are more and more people doing small businesses in the city, aren't there?"

"What does this mean? It means that many things are slowly being relaxed."

"I'm not the only one selling eggs. Some people also bring vegetables grown at home to the city to sell. They just go there earlier than us." Xue Xiaozhu talked about the changes in the city.

When she went there, she saw clearly that people were selling things in an honest and upright manner.

Xue Xiaotao didn't notice it, probably because she was too nervous. When she entered the city, she only looked at the land under her feet and didn't dare to look around.

"It seems so." Xue Xiaotao felt relieved and recalled the situation in the city.

She hadn't been to the city for a long time. Usually when she went to the city, she would just buy some things and then go back to the village.

I have never been to the city, so I didn’t know there are so many more business stalls in the city now.

"It seems we're almost there." Xue Xiaozhu looked at the nearby scenery and felt it was becoming more and more familiar. When the two of them arrived, roosters were already crowing in the village.

At this time, the villagers got up one after another.

Some people in the village have dogs, and when they heard the sound of the bicycle, they also started barking.

It was also a coincidence that when Xue Xiaozhu entered the village, the first person she met was the old lady who sold her eggs. Perhaps because she was old and didn't sleep much, the old lady had just come out of the toilet and was tying her belt.

"Grandma, what a coincidence, we meet again. Last time you said you were short of matches, do you want some more?" Xue Xiaozhu got off his bicycle and greeted her with a smile after seeing the old lady.

The old lady, who had fastened her belt, squinted her eyes and looked at him: "Oh, it's you. What's the matter? You're here to buy eggs again! I don't have many eggs saved at home."

"I need matches. What? You have matches here?"

After parking his bicycle, Xue Xiaozhu took the basket of mugwort handed to him by his elder sister.

"We have matches, and more than matches, we also have needles and thread and other things. Take a look and see if you want anything."

"I heard from you that it's difficult to go to the county town and you're always short of things, so I brought some things here for you to see. If you need anything, come and buy it from me."

After hearing this, the old lady was so happy that she hurried over to see what was in the basket. When the people nearby heard that there was needlework for sale, they also came over.

After a while, a lot of people gathered around Xue Xiaozhu.

Chinese people love to watch the excitement. When the villagers saw people gathered here, both children and adults ran over. When they heard that there were goods to sell, they went home to get the money.

"There are also red hairbands and hair flowers. I want to buy a comb because the one at home is broken."

"Are there any buttons? The button on my boy's clothes is broken, and I was thinking of buying a new one to sew on for him!" The woman squeezed in and looked around for buttons.

The things Xue Xiaozhu brought this time were daily necessities, which didn't take up much space and could fit a lot in the basket, and the prices were not particularly high.

She is now no different from a peddler walking around the streets.

It means people carry baskets on shoulder poles and sell things everywhere while hammering iron blocks with clanging sounds.

She rode a bicycle and carried a basket to sell things.

"Yes, of course there are some. Take a look at the color you want. We have combs too, they're right here! Do you want a hair ornament? This one is pretty. You can buy one for your child." Xue Xiao didn't put the things in the bamboo basket randomly. She made a board and hung up the things that could be hung.

Once you open it, you can see what's inside at a glance, without having to look for it.

"Girl, help me get a box of matches." Someone wanted matches and asked Xue Xiaotao to help get them.

Xue Xiaotao, who was holding the basket, quickly responded after hearing this: "Here you go."

"Sister, one box is not enough! We need matches every day. Take ten boxes so you don't have to worry about whether they are used up or not." When Xue Xiaozhu heard that she only needed one box, she reached out and took ten boxes.

Ten boxes of matches cost twenty-nine cents. These matches are like paper and are used every day. No one can start a fire without striking matches.

"That's true." The woman who bought the matches thought about it and agreed. She would need them anyway, so she nodded in agreement.
