The next day, the car drove steadily into the city. Xu Jiaojiao looked at Sheng Jie's mother and was a little surprised. Is this person so old?

The last time I saw her, she had no white hair and was plump and chubby, a blessed look. But now, she has lost a lot of weight, and the flesh on her thighs and arms is loose. Thinking of her son, I was speechless.

Originally, the other people in the car wanted to see them quarrel and fight, but these two were calmer than the other. In the past, Xu Jiaojiao was really like a little wife in front of Wan Hong, who would accept being beaten and scolded and give her gifts without saying a word.

Their family could not make ends meet, so they always had to rely on the village chief's family for subsidies. Although they could not stand the Sheng family's behavior, they also envied the benefits they got, especially Xu Jiaojiao's generosity, giving them too much meat, candy, cloth and the like.

The car was driving quickly on the muddy road, and many trees along the way were blown down. Looking at this scene, the girl couldn't help but worry about her store.

They soon arrived in the city. Wanhong and Xu Jiaojiao both went down as if they were worried about something. They each went their own way. Especially Sheng Jie's mother, she almost jogged along the wall.

Now that the weather is good, if those people were dug out, the knife wounds on their bodies would be easy to detect, and my son would likely be found then.

A huge fear swept over her whole body. She moved anxiously and fearfully. Her heart almost jumped out. When she saw the house still in ruins, tears instantly fell out.

But there were still a lot of people gathered around, and it seemed that they were discussing how to rescue them. Wan Hong went over and listened.

"Once excavation begins, the upper half of the mountain will lose its support and will definitely be at risk of collapse again."

"I think we should postpone this rescue."

"Yes, these people have been buried for so long, they would have died long ago. Now we need to save the lives of the living."

After several cadres and young men talked at once, they decided to set up a cordon around the area. They still did not allow people to approach, but they were also not allowed to rescue.

In this day and age, it is great to find a large vehicle. There is no chance of finding an excavator or something like that. All rescue work has to be done by manpower.

But who caused the death of the beggar who ate and drank secretly and did not do his job?

All the shops opened in the surrounding area have suffered from the attacks, even the state-owned restaurants are no exception. The leftover food is often snatched away, but they can't say anything.

These meals can greatly improve the family's meals, so I hate these beggars in my heart.

When Wan Hong heard the news, she was so excited that her legs became weak and she fell to the ground in an instant, then started crying and laughing loudly. People around her hurried to help her up, thinking she was too sad.

After a long time coming to her senses, Wan Hong took the money and the remaining meat ticket, which was given to her by Xu Jiaojiao as a gift, and went to chop two taels of meat, preparing to go home and make dumplings.

At this point, she couldn't even wait until four in the afternoon, so she spent all her money and left, having walked a lot, which was much easier than before.

Xu Jiaojiao was relieved when she saw that the streets were relatively clean, but many trees were bare and nowhere to be seen, and there were even many people cleaning up the debris ahead.

Standing at the door of her own store, fortunately the angle of her store was very tricky, at the corner, so it was not affected at all. The girl opened the door and turned on the light with a click. There was no difference inside from when she left.

Xu Jiaojiao finally felt relieved. She put her bag on the counter, sat on the sofa to rest, and prepared to start today's project.

A long time passed, but the girl still didn't come. I would be lying if I said I wasn't anxious, but then I thought that the girl might be at work, so I continued to make my clothes.

Xu Jiaojiao's hand speed and ability to use machines have improved a lot. She can make things very quickly and can easily finish a piece of clothing in a day.

Lin Lin came to the store again with the book in his arms. When he saw the door open, he was delighted. A furry head poked out and he smiled happily: "You are finally here."

Xu Jiaojiao looked up and saw a familiar face. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She could only explain awkwardly, "The road has been too slippery these days. I can't walk. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I guess that's the case. My name is Linlin."

"My name is Xu Jiaojiao."

Lin Lin put her things on the table beside her, looked at the clothes, and touched them with great interest: "Can I try them on?"

"sure."

Xu Jiaojiao took the clothes off for him, and then watched the girl go to the changing room. After Lin Lin changed, he looked in the mirror in the well-lit changing room. He looked very good. He was thin to begin with, and putting on this dress showed off all his advantages, like a proud yellow rose.

I decided to buy it immediately and went outside with my skirt lifted up. There was a different color of light outside, a warm yellow retro light, and I looked like a star in a movie.

Xu Jiaojiao stared at Lin Lin closely, her eyes showing unconcealed admiration. She looked at him again and again: "You look really good in this skirt."

"How much."

"Eighteen. But when all my things arrive, I can do a makeup for you for free." Xu Jiaojiao was afraid that she would think it was too expensive, so she explained embarrassedly.

Lin Lin took out the small bag and counted out eighteen yuan from it and handed it over. To her, the price was really nothing. The most important thing was that it had to look good. This was the key. Moreover, she had never seen such clothes anywhere else.

Since ancient times, there has been no woman who does not love beauty, or even is not afraid of wearing the same clothes as others. However, Xu Jiaojiao's design is unique, so naturally she doesn't care about these things.

Holding the money in her hands felt so unreal, as if she was dreaming. She thought she had to make at least a few sets of clothes and complete the decoration of the store before she could welcome customers. She was really lucky.

Xu Jiaojiao said the sales pitch she had prepared long ago: "You can bring your friends to my store to play. It doesn't matter if you don't buy clothes, you can also read books."

These words were said so beautifully, especially when paired with the girl's retro and stylish store and her sincere expression, even the hardest-hearted person would soften their heart.

Lin Lin nodded, changed her clothes, asked the girl to wrap her clothes, and then sat aside to read carefully. Xu Jiaojiao put the money into the drawer and then took out the brown paper bag that had been prepared long ago.

Now everything is wrapped in paper, and then stuffed together in large and small packages, like the cardboard bags in later generations.

The girl passed the ribbon through the folded bag, and then put some small things like headbands in it. The ribbon can also be used as a headband.

Without disturbing Linlin, he put the things aside and went about his own business. His clothes were not ready yet, so he went to buy some delicious food in the evening. After all, it was the first business in the store.

Lin Lin carried the things and said goodbye to the girl, and agreed to come again tomorrow. Xu Jiaojiao locked the door, took the money and went to the department store across the street. She remembered that a new bakery had opened.

The bread nowadays is really bread, very soft and without any additives. There are only a few styles, but there are ones with cream and sausage. Xu Jiaojiao bought one for each person according to the ratio, and also bought some for her grandparents, as too many would easily be crushed.

Bread is much more expensive than steamed buns, five cents each. She bought eight in total, spending forty cents, less than a dollar. Xu Jiaojiao looked at the change in her hand and was so excited that tears almost came down. Money in this era is too tight-fisted to spend.
