When she returned to her small hut, she took off all her clothes and checked them up and down to make sure there were no strange marks before feeling relieved.
Since nothing happened, she dismissed the experience as a dream.
The next day, she went to town and bought a new backpack. After buying it, she made a special trip to Wanjia clothing store.
As soon as Qing Niang saw off the guests, she saw Tianyuan Yuan standing at the door. She quickly greeted her with a smile and said, "Why don't you come in?"
Tian Yuanyuan smiled slightly and said: "You are busy, don't bother me! How is your business recently?"
Qing Niang's face was full of joy, she smiled and said in a low voice: "The sales are good."
"If you can sell more, this thing has no technical content. A smart person can make it with a little thought!" Tian Yuanyuan suggested in a low voice.
Qing Niang thought about it. It is indeed not difficult for female workers who often make clothes to wear menstrual belts. I am afraid that this business will be better than last year.
"That's what the girl said!"
Tian Yuanyuan pointed to the clothes on her body and said, "Qing Niang, I want to buy some ready-made clothes."
The clothes she is wearing now belong to her late grandfather. The sleeves and trouser legs are rolled up, like a black cloth bag covering her body. Not only does it not fit well, it is also very ugly.
In fact, she doesn't pay much attention to her appearance, and she plans to wear it for another year or two to save some money on clothes. Others don't know, but she knows that the pants covered by the lower skirt are so torn that half of her buttocks are exposed, so this time she won't
It’s no longer possible to buy it.166 novel
Qing Niang brought her two sets of floral skirts, compared them and said, "Not bad, this color suits you very well."
"I want two sets of men's clothes. I live alone without my parents, and women's clothes are not suitable."
Qing Niang put down the material: "Yes! What color do you want?"
"Black, both sets need to be black."
Qing Niang refused to accept the money at all at first. Seeing her firm refusal, Huang Yuanyuan was reluctant to take Qiao, so she only accepted the principal.
Before leaving, Tian Yuanyuan gave Qing Niang a suggestion: "If there are other adult stores selling menstrual belts in the future, you can launch a one-for-two event. This event can also make you more popular and earn money.
!”
Looking at her confused look, Tian Yuanyuan explained: "The so-called one-for-two means that you buy one monthly menstrual belt and get two cotton pads for free."
"But won't you lose money? The cost of cotton cloth and cotton alone is quite a lot!"
"How much does the cheapest menstrual belt cost in the store?"
"Well, three cents!"
"Then you can sell it for five cents!"
"Is it so expensive?"
"What if for five cents, you can get not only a menstrual belt but also two cotton pads?"
Qing Niang has been running a shop for many years, and she still has some experience in business. Now that she received Tianyuanyuan's proposal, she immediately figured out the key.
She stood up, bowed to Tian Yuanyuan, and said, "Thank you, Miss Tian, for your advice."
Tian Yuanyuan quickly supported her and said with a smile: "Hey, I didn't get your five taels of silver for nothing! And thank you for your clothes!"
The two talked for a while longer before Tian Yuanyuan went home.
Since getting new clothes, Tian Yuanyuan feels that life is not so bad.
After the frost, the weather became colder and colder. When I woke up early, I could see a layer of frost on the ground.
A few days ago, she picked cabbages and radishes home and piled them into the small hut to prepare for winter.
The winter here is different from modern times. There are not a wide variety of vegetables and fruits to eat, only some durable vegetables such as cabbage and radishes.
This was similar to the past in the north. When she was a child, every household would buy a lot of cabbage, radishes and potatoes to eat in winter. Later, with the development of the economy, even in the cold winter months, vegetables and fruits of various seasons could be seen on the dining table, and very few people would
Storing vegetables for winter.
However, Tian Yuanyuan still liked the scene of cabbage drying in front of every house when she was a child. Seeing that scene, she felt that it was really winter.
Until she got here, she once again lived a happy life of storing cabbage for the winter.
Today she wanted to prepare some firewood for the winter, so she went to the woods to pick up some branches. If it came to winter and it snowed without enough firewood, she would definitely freeze. She had no other way to keep warm!
Fortunately, this forest and Daqingshan belonged to Tianjia Village. If it belonged to a certain family's private property, she couldn't just collect firewood.
She heard these things from people in the village when she went to do laundry. At that time, they were talking about things in Laowang Village next door. It was said that a man ran to the mountain where the squire lived to cut firewood and was caught and had his arm broken on the spot.
Only then did Tian Yuanyuan realize that private ownership still exists in this society, which is far more cruel than imagined.
Tian Yuanyuan piled the collected firewood next to the hut, went back to the house to eat some food, rested for a while and then went to collect firewood again.
Until it got dusk, Tianyuanyuan carried a basket of branches on his back and struggled to pull a dead log with both hands as he headed home.
When passing by Niu Niu's house, bursts of crying could be heard in the courtyard.
She stopped for a while, and all she could hear was the woman's sad cry.
Tian Yuanyuan wanted to knock on the door and ask what happened, but remembering the woman's unkind expression, he hesitated for a while and prepared to go back.
Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, a woman was heard wailing and cursing: "You inhuman beast, Niuniu is your own daughter! Just sell it if you want!"
A man's voice rang out: "I don't want you to have a child. It's useless to have her and it costs money!"
"Sell her so you can have money for gambling! I was really blind to marry you, a bad gambler! You also lied to me about taking her to my grandma's house. If I hadn't gone to my grandma's house to see her today! I still wouldn't know.
You sold her! You are so cruel! You are her biological father!"
"Chrysanthemum, don't you think about how our family is so poor that we don't have spare money to raise two children. Besides, what's the use of her as a girl? If you sell her, you still have something to eat! When our son is born, we will have money in our hands. You can still
Can you sit for a long period of time, right?"
"...My poor daughter!" Niuniu's mother cried a few more times and asked with a choked voice, "How much did it cost?"
Then the yard became quiet.
When Tian Yuanyuan heard that Niuniu had been sold, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar in the dead of winter, numb and cold!
She didn't know why she got home. She stared blankly at the cold and empty house. After a long time, she cursed!
To this society, she just wants to give it a middle finger!
Before winter, she went to the city for shopping again and bought two cotton-padded clothes and a quilt.
Qing Niang also gave me a set of inner clothes and a pair of lotus-colored bellybands.
The bellyband is made of satin, with three flowers embroidered with colorful silk threads.
She held it in her hand and couldn't put it down and looked at it again and again. Qing Niang smiled helplessly and wrapped it up for her and put it in her backpack.
