The tea leaf eggs business was surprisingly good. We opened the stall at 12:00 in the morning, and by 9:00, all 200 eggs were sold out.

Miao Cuifang calculated that after deducting the cost of eggs and condiments, she made a net profit of eight yuan.

"Boss, is it so easy to make money in the city?"

Miao Cuifang took the money and went home, feeling a little bit unbelievable on the way.

Ye Jianguo didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"It's not that simple. If we hadn't met Sister Li, where would we have bought eggs?"

Miao Cuifang: "You're right. We have to maintain Sister Li's channel for purchasing eggs. If we live here for half a year, how much money will we make?"

Ye Jianguo immediately reminded him: "Don't just think about making money. The most important thing for you after the surgery is to rest."

Miao Cuifang: "Aren't you taking a break now? We sold all the eggs easily this morning."

When I was in the village, I had no free time from morning till night, doing this or that, but in the end it didn't seem to bring much income to the family. At most, I was just barely hungry.

Miao Cuifang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many people were running to the city, life was really better there than in the village.

That day Miao Cuifang went to see Aunt Li and ordered 300 eggs for the next day.

Aunt Li: "Business is good, isn't it?"

Miao Cuifang: "Big sister, the sales here are pretty fast."

Aunt Li said proudly: "I still have to coax my grandson during the day, otherwise I would have expanded my business long ago."

Miao Cuifang admired Aunt Li's confidence and was not stingy with her praise.

"It's rare to find a woman as amazing as you, sister. I have to learn from you."

Aunt Li was so flattered that she pulled Miao Cuifang aside and confided in her, "Sister, are you unhappy with your family?"

Miao Cuifang: "No, I'm just living in my daughter's house and I have nothing to do."

Aunt Li sympathized with Miao Cuifang. She said good things but did nothing. She must have been disliked by her girlfriend.

"Your son?"

Miao Cuifang: "Where is my son?"

Aunt Li's eyes were filled with pity. Her two sons had to live in her daughter's house, which showed that none of them were filial.

"Big sister, you should work hard and make money to buy a house in the city."

Miao Cuifang felt puzzled. She didn't seem to say anything, so why did her elder sister look so sympathetic to her?

After Miao Cuifang and Ye Jianguo finished their work, they were in better spirits than before.

Generally, all the eggs are sold out before 10 o'clock in the morning.

Then go home to have a meal and take a nap.

Take a walk in the afternoon and prepare the goods for the next day.

After Ye Jianguo got familiar with the old men in the compound, he occasionally played chess with a group of older brothers, which made his life less depressing.

It wasn't until Ye Xiaoxiao was resting that she came over to see the two of them.

"Mom and Dad, are you used to living here?"

Miao Cuifang was naturally happy to see Xiaoxiao coming: "It's a habit, Xiaoxiao, are you tired from studying? Sit down and have a rest for a while. I'll make you something delicious."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Mom, don't cook anymore. Take your dad out to eat."

Miao Cuifang: "Don't go out."

Ye Xiaoxiao said: "When you come to Beijing, I must take you out to see the world. Let's go out for dinner, and then I will take you and Dad to the mall."

Now that the weather is getting colder, Ye Xiaoxiao plans to buy some clothes for the two elderly people.

Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang wanted to refuse, but Ye Xiaoxiao forced them to leave.

Only then did I feel that getting a driver's license was the wisest choice so that I could drive wherever I wanted to go.

When she went out, everyone in the compound greeted Miao Cuifang.

Ye Xiaoxiao was quite pleased that her parents were living a good life here and had already made friends with many people.

Ye Xiaoxiao took the two of them to a famous hotel in Beijing and ate the specialty roast duck.

After dinner, we went to the largest department store in Beijing.

As soon as Miao Cuifang entered, she said, "This place is so big, even bigger than our village. It's totally different from the supply and marketing cooperative in the county."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Let's go slowly and don't rush back."

Ye Xiaoxiao took the two of them around from the first floor to the upper floors, and let them try on any suitable clothes she saw.

…

Hao Yanyan's foot has been healed for more than a month, and now she can walk without crutches.

Because they had already decided to get a marriage certificate with Xu Jianwen, before the wedding, Zhao Hongxia brought Hao Yanyan to the mall to pick out a dress.

In fact, Hao Yanyan thinks today's clothes are a bit out of date.

Although the last twenty years of her previous life were miserable, she had seen other people dressed up beautifully, so her aesthetic taste was naturally different from that of people today.

At a wedding today, the bride can wear a red coat and a flower at most, that's all.

But Hao Yanyan wanted to wear a wedding dress and have a grand wedding.

"Yanyan, don't you have the clothes you like here?"

Zhao Hongxia looked around and picked. She had been choosing with Hao Yanyan for quite a while, but she still hadn't decided what to wear on the wedding day.

Hao Yanyan was more willing to talk, "Auntie, if you are tired, sit for a while and go take a look yourself."

Zhao Hongxia: "Okay then, let's buy the clothes first, and then auntie will take you to pick out a gold bracelet."

Hao Yanyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. You are so kind to me."

Zhao Hongxia: "You are my future daughter-in-law. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Hao Yanyan asked Zhao Hongxia to find a place to sit in the mall for a while, and she went upstairs to take a look.

In fact, she definitely couldn't find the clothes she wanted here, so Hao Yanyan went upstairs to see if there was a tailor shop upstairs so that she could make a dress according to her own ideas.

She found a shop that made clothes and went in. The shop owner asked her whether she wanted to make a shirt or a pair of trousers.

Hao Yanyan drew a sample with a pen and asked, "How long does it take to make a skirt like this?"

"Oh, this style has not been common in recent years."

The old teacher said as soon as he saw it.

Hao Yanyan was delighted, "Did you wear clothes like this before?"

The old master pushed up his glasses and said, "This style was brought over by foreigners during the Republic of China. A few years ago, for some reason, no one made this kind of clothes anymore."

Hao Yanyan: "It's different now. Can you make this skirt here?"

The old master said: "It can be done, but the material requirements are quite high. The outer layer of gauze is not available here. If it is replaced with ordinary gauze, it will look like a mosquito net and will not look good."

Hao Yanyan looked at him with a smile, "Isn't this ordinary lace? Can't I buy it?"

The old master said: "If you can buy the material, bring it to me and I will make it."

Hao Yanyan was thinking about this and was about to say something when she saw three familiar figures walking into a store in front of her.

She was not surprised to see Ye Xiaoxiao, but what surprised her was that Miao Cuifang and Ye Jianguo were actually there.

Why did you come to Beijing?

The invitation letter written in the room was never sent out.

Hao Yanyan's selfishness overcame her conscience, and she decided to keep the matter secret.

The appearance of Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang undoubtedly destroyed her plan.
