Chapter 3 Calculations
A night of fish and dragon dance.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Cao Ren was ready to get up and rush to the dock.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Cao Xin lying on his side, looking at him with bloodshot eyes, which startled Cao Ren!
"Haven't slept all night?"
Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Cao Xin, and was a little moved, thinking that Cao Xin was worried that he hadn't slept all night because he was going out today.
Not really.
Cao Xin woke up the 'Bronze Immortal Gate' last night, and he was excited, but he didn't sleep steadily.
However, he didn't have the heart to explain, and mysteriously said to Cao Ren: "Brother, you cover your mouth first." ”
“?”
Cao Ren frowned.
Cao Xin couldn't wait, grabbed a piece of clothing and was about to stuff it into Cao Ren's mouth, Cao Ren was speechless, and perfunctorily covered his mouth with one hand, cooperating with Cao Xin to play.
But the next moment.
His hand clenched his mouth tightly, and his eyes widened.
“!!!”
"You-"
Cao Ren could see it clearly, and he saw that as soon as Cao Xin's palm was flipped, a hot rice ball appeared in his hand.
I flipped it over again, and I didn't see it again.
Flip it over again, and it appears again.
Cao Ren is stupid!
"This is the ability that I just woke up last night, and we won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future!"
Cao Xin whispered to his eldest brother.
This rice ball was his 'sign-in' last night, uh, no, it's [Creation], it was cooked with one pound of five catties of rice in the [Creation] given by the 'Bronze Immortal Gate' last night, and it was cooked with his own stove and clay pot, and he was brought into the 'Primordial Immortal Realm' to work. Then I ate two bites, and the rest was all formed into rice balls and put in the carry-on space while it was hot. This space doubles as a thermal insulation function, and it will still be hot for a few hours in it.
It's not just rice balls.
Cao Xin took out one by one the big and medium treasures and gave them to Cao Ren.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety.
There are fifty in total.
A total of fifty texts.
"What, what is this?"
Cao Ren's eyes were always staring.
However, he is only sixteen years old after all, and his ability to accept it is much stronger than that of middle-aged and elderly people.
Cao Ren probed his brain and looked around, and saw that Cao Liang was still sleeping, Cao Zhang and Cao Xian had already gotten up and were busy outside, and no one paid attention to the two of them, so he asked Cao Xin in a low voice: "Immortals?" What's in your sleeve? ”
"Hah!"
Cao Xin was funny to hear, but he didn't want to explain it in detail at all.
He believed in this big brother very much.
After all, in the year after the death of his father Cao Kun, if Cao Ren, who is already fifteen or sixteen years old, is a little selfish, he can completely ignore his stepmother, regardless of the two half-brother who dragged the oil bottle, whether it is a person who flies away, or takes his sister Cao Xian and never returns, with the age of the two of them, at least it will not be more difficult than dragging the old mother and the child.
But Cao Ren never had this idea, he carried Cao Liang and Cao Xin along the way, and from time to time he had to carry Cao Zhang's family.
Not to mention the first two years of escaping the famine, just in the next year, if it weren't for Cao Ren's hardships and hard work far better than ordinary people, this family, including Cao Xin, would be dead or alive.
There is also this house, which Cao Ren also bought with his life.
Such a big brother, Cao Xin has no reason not to believe it.
However, there is no need to explain it to the plate, and the functions of [Creation] and [Portable Space] can be changed to a way that Cao Ren can accept, and it will be revealed approximately.
The main thing is to let the eldest brother feel at ease, no longer have to worry about the family outside, just save his life.
Cao Xin was afraid that he would encounter some unexpected situation outside, and then the leaders of the Cai Shui Gang shouted, 'Break the latter and reward him', and after Cao Ren's head was broken, it would be funny.
As for quitting the Cai Shui Gang -
"It's late!"
Cao Xin and Cao Ren both sighed.
If this ability had come a month earlier, when Cao Ren had not yet joined the Cai Shui Gang, when they had just arrived in Xijing City, they could not have joined the Cai Shui Gang.
But now, the Cao family has received the benefits of the Cai Shui Gang, and Cao Ren may quit wherever he says to quit.
As soon as I entered the rivers and lakes, I couldn't help myself.
And the 'Primordial Immortal Realm' also has restrictions, Cao Xin hugged Cao Ren last night and wanted to bring his eldest brother in, but Cao Ren didn't move.
Obviously, you can't bring people.
If not, the family hides in the fairy world and becomes unified, where in the world can they not go?
"It's a pity!"
Cao Xin said secretly.
Cao Ren didn't know about this stubble, but he had no scruples when he had no way back, and now that he had a turnaround, it was inevitable that he would be complicated in his heart.
However, he quickly became upbeat again, and even the brows that had been frowning stretched a lot, and smiled at Cao Xin: "In the future, I will be relieved to have you at home!" ”
"Our family's good days are still ahead!"
"Brother, you have to spare your life!"
Cao Xin is like an old mother, and he keeps admonishing him, and when Cao Ren is about to get up, he remembers the business: "Brother, you can talk to your mother and them later, and say that the gang will send some benefits during this time, let me get it." I don't want to tell them about this ability, for fear that they will worry, and if one more person knows, there will be more risk of leaking my mouth, so there is no need. ”
"Good!"
Cao Ren turned over and got up, full of energy.
……
Wait until dawn.
Cao Ren has long since left.
Xiao Cao Liang took advantage of the cool and continued to run to dig earthworms.
Inside the house, Cao Xin, Cao Zhang, and Cao Xian were sitting in the hall, and the three of them stared at each other, a little embarrassed.
Usually at this time, Cao Zhang and Cao Xian had already gone out and looked for work everywhere.
But yesterday I said that I would rest today, so I didn't go out.
But when I stayed at home, I suddenly found out-
There's nothing to do!
Ordinary housewives can tidy up their rooms, choose vegetables and cook, sew clothes and shoe soles, and spin and weave fabrics.
However, the Cao family was poor and white, and they didn't even have a broom for the eight classics, and they couldn't get a second basin to clean up the room.
"Son, mother, let's go out for a walk, right?"
Cao Zhang broke the embarrassment and discussed with Cao Xin.
It's too torturous to let her sit at home like this.
On the side, Cao Xian was also moved, but he was worried about his mother's body and didn't dare to talk.
And Cao Xin also has his own thoughts: "It's time to go out and go around." ”
But without waiting for Cao Zhang and Cao Xian to be happy, he saw him sweeping around the house and outside, and then shook his head: "There is nothing lacking at home - needles and threads, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, this is not what it looks like to live for a long time." Let's call the eldest lady in the middle courtyard today, and go to the outside market together to shop and buy. ”
"Huh?"
Cao Zhang's family listened to Cao Xin's words, and suddenly became anxious: "It's not easy for your brother to make money, and the family doesn't need these now, so why buy it." ”
Now I eat coarse grains all day long, and I don't have a stove at home, and I have no place to put it when I buy an iron pot, so it is enough to have a crockpot that can be steamed and boiled.
The kitchen is not available, what equipment do you want.
Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can be bought at any time, anyway, it is not often cooked at home.
I don't need a needle and thread, and if I buy this, do I have to buy cloth? Can you afford it?!
Cao Zhang shook his head vigorously.
"That's it!"
Cao Xian also nodded, with disgust on his face: "You won't live if you look at it!" Fortunately, the money is in my mother's, if it is given to you, it will be a disaster in one day. ”
said.
She remembered that before her eldest brother left, she handed over the responsibility of 'receiving salary' to Cao Xin, and she was not convinced in the front, but now she took the opportunity to seize power: "Mother, can't you let him hold the money, why don't you change our mother?" The eldest brother is really, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into Xiao Wu, if you don't give such an important thing to your mother, forget it, just leave it to me, how can I give it to Xiao Wu, who is unreliable! ”
Cao Xin said one sentence, and Cao Xian had ten sentences.
Fortunately, Cao Ren explained clearly before leaving, and everything was at Cao Xin's disposal, if Cao Xin found an excuse to fool this eldest sister afterwards, it would not be easy.
But at this time, there is the eldest brother who is about to leave and the old mother who is being coerced by her two sons.
Little Cao Xian, can't turn the sky.
Cao Xin knew that what she was saying was actually reasonable, but he was not an ordinary person, so he ignored Cao Xian and focused on Cao Zhang's family: "Mother, there is some money that can't be saved." In the future, we are going to live in this miscellaneous courtyard, and when others see that our house is empty, there is not even a table or a pot, which one is embarrassed to come to the door?
Who wants to associate with us?
My mother wants to find a job to do, but in fact, many aunts and aunts in the courtyard have a way of needlework, and no matter how bad it is, there can be some hard work of washing clothes.
But for no reason, who wants to introduce you to my sister?
Relationships are all placed, but everything is difficult at the beginning.
For example, now, even if you don't go out today, stay at home, and be embarrassed to go to the door?
Empty-handed, in torn clothes, embarrassed to go?
But if you have a job in your hands, go to the yard to collect shoe soles and sew clothes with them, and this will be done! ”
Cao Xin was a human being, and he knew much more about the shortcomings of his parents in the city than Cao Zhang and Cao Xian, two out-and-out ancient rural women and refugees.
Now the family lives in the courtyard, and the eldest brother is in the gang because he is in the dock, so he can't talk to the old and young masters in the courtyard, and secondly, the identity of the gang is also despised and provoked.
And Cao Xin and Cao Liang are too young, so it is difficult to influence adults and elders.
If you want to quickly integrate into the miscellaneous courtyard, you can only rely on Cao Zhang and Cao Xian.
That's the way.
Cao Xin said it clearly and clearly.
