However, that middle-aged woman was too despicable. She wanted to be a free labourer even if she had to return the money. Cao Xiaolian had always hated this kind of people.

"But Mom, let's talk about Morning Glory, in the future you must not do business with your classmates."

Mother Cao heard her eldest daughter's words and agreed, "Xia Xia, you heard mother say that you are thinking for your family, but your mother sent you to school so that you could study properly, not to distract you with these things."

Cao Xiaoxia was about to retort that she was already in the first grade, but then she saw the awe-inspiring look in her sister's eyes. She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "Mom, I know my wrongs. Please don't be angry."

When Mother Cao saw her daughter's obedient look, the anger in her heart vanished like smoke in thin air. Thinking about it again, if their family wasn't living such a miserable life, how could the children be like this?

After dinner, Mother Cao whispered to Cao Xiaoling, "Xiaolan, I've thought about what you said before. You may be right, but do what you want to do in the future. I don't have other abilities, but I will always support you."

The look on Mother Cao's face was completely different from the look of hesitation and panic at noon, replacing it with an incomparable trust.

That's right, there were two such sensible and obedient children in the family. She should be content with them and learn to trust them.

Cao Xiaolian was extremely happy. Although she could make money, she must be happier and more motivated to get the support of her family.

"Mom, don't worry!"

I will seize the opportunity to let you live a good life on my own.

After washing the dishes, Cao Xiaolian mysteriously pulled Mother Cao and her sister into her room.

"Mom, speaking of it, I feel very ashamed." Cao Xiaoling said honestly, "I forgot that today is your birthday."

"Hey, what's with your birthday?" Mother Cao did not care. "Life is so good these days. Every day is like a birthday."

The more Cao Xiaolian felt sorry for her mother, the more she could not care less.

When he thought about his previous life, every time he had a birthday, Wang Ziwen would throw a big feast, or if she had asked her good friend out of the country to go shopping, she would forget about her mother's birthday.

In her previous life, she had coveted living a happy life with Wang Ziwen, but she had neglected her family. If she were to leave this life, it might be to make up for the guilt she felt toward her family.

"However." She changed the subject. "I also have a present."

When she went to get the fabric in the morning, when Chen Lifen gave her the skirt, she caught sight of three white shirts nearby with her sharp eyes. Chen Lifen said it was custom-made by a previous customer, but she didn't know why, it had been two years and she had only paid half the money and left it here.

Cao Xiaolian picked it up and looked at it. The three pieces of clothing were probably the same person's. They looked to be about the same size as Mother Cao.

She bought them at a low price from Chen Lifen. She didn't even have a single piece of Mother Cao's clothes to wear, not to mention anything else.

So when she took it out, Mother Cao was frightened, even though she explained that it was bought at a low price, she still felt distressed, "I have clothes to wear, and you said that with the money you can buy yourself a clothes, but mother is already old, so what should I wear. Besides, you must buy one, it's also fine to buy one.

The older generation lived through their hardships. They ate furry food, and for clothes, it was three years new, three years old, and even sewing for another three years. Buying a new set of clothes was only worn during festive occasions. How could it be like this? Buying three pieces at once, it was no wonder Mother Cao had such an expression.

"Mom!"

Cao Xiaoling hugged her mother's waist and said, "I made money just so that we could live a good life. Buying you a set of clothes is nothing. Don't hesitate any longer, quickly change into a new set of clothes."

"Yeah, Mom, put it on." Cao Xiaoxia also tried to persuade him, "I don't remember seeing you wearing any new clothes."

"And you." Cao Xiaolian took out the yellow dress and threw it to Cao Xiaoxia, "Go, put it on with mom. Let me take a look."

Cao Xiaoxia took off her dress and opened it to look. Immediately, she screamed, "Aiya, Sis! I really want to love you to death! I like this dress so much! It's made just for me to look good!"

Mother Cao saw another piece of clothing, but her heart was in pain. "Why did you only buy so much? Although it's money, you still have to treat it as money. Go to hell, give her back her dress. I just bought three pieces. Just one for her."

Cao Xiao Xia pouted and looked at Cao Xiao Lian pitifully.

"What are you looking at me for? If you have the ability to pull Ma away and change, then her dress is yours."

"Alright!"

Cao Xiaoxia was really mischievous and had a thick skin. She used the Twisting Character Formula and managed to trick Mother Cao into changing into a new set of clothes.

Old Cao, who was wearing a new set of clothes, walked out, which made Cao Xiaolian's eyes light up.

Or rather, the Cao sisters were beautiful, both of them inheriting Mother Cao's genes. She was wearing a pure white shirt which showed off her beautiful figure. Cao Xiaolian made up her mind that she would have to make her mother a pair of pants when the time came. That would be perfect.

As for Cao Xiaoxia, she looked very cute and mischievous. With her fair skin, she was not a match for them.

Originally, Sister Chen had given him a dress. However, Cao Xiaolan now felt that she would have to work hard at home for a period of time. She didn't have any chance to see others, so she might as well give it to her sister.

The family and the beautiful ladies welcomed the sunrise of the second day.

Early in the morning, Mother Cao refused to listen to him. She changed into her old clothes and went down to the fields, saying how many farmers wore such good clothes and worked there. Cao Xiao Xia finished her hot soup noodles and happily went to school in her new dress.

Leaving Cao Xiaoling alone at home, she began to think about where to start.

The layout of the living room was still on his mind. However, some of the materials required were specific. Chen Lifen said it would take three days to get them back, and the materials were expensive. Cao Xiaoling had left a total of two hundred yuan for the materials.

Why don't you do the children's room first.

Cao Xiaolian started to move her hands.

In fact, in the future, Cao Xiaolian's greatest regret was having no children. Every time she saw her friends holding the hand of a cute little princess, she couldn't help but feel envy for them.

Her family also had a children's room that she had arranged personally. It was probably because she really wanted a daughter, and she had even specially invited a famous foreign designer to design a dreamy children's room for her.

Therefore, she decided that since Tao Qing valued this children's room so much, she would move her children's room over as it was before.

It was actually very simple.

The room, she remembered, had been designed in the style of the European Princess's Room, a European bed with powder-blue sheets, and a flower mattress on the floor, made of warm hues such as pale pink, blue, and green, and stuffed with cotton, looking warm and comfortable at the same time.

There were also lace and drapes that could basically be made.

You might as well start with the mat.

This was the most difficult as well as the most finishing touch.

Cao Xiaoling began to pick the ingredients and cut them to the same size. Then she started to work on it carefully.

After three days, the mat was finally ready.

According to the time, it was time to retrieve the cloth.

She decided to go to the town to get the cloth. She was just a little worried about how she could bring this flower cushion that was two meters in diameter.

He could not carry her ten kilometers by himself, but if he were to make an ox cart, it would definitely be dirty.

At this moment, the sound of a horn could be heard outside.

When she went out, she saw that it was a oval face driving in a car.

When he saw her come out, he rolled down the window and said impatiently, "Why are you so slow?"

Cao Xiaolian laughed. "You came at the right time. I prepared something and I intend to show it to Teacher Tao. Bring it over with you and me."

The oval face man mumbled, "How arrogant. I wasn't satisfied when I came to pick you up myself, and even asked me to be your laborer again. Do you really think I'm some kind of assistant?"

However, when she saw the cushion, she was stunned.

"This, was done by you?"

Looking at his excited expression, Cao Xiaolian nodded, "The mat in the children's room is too big. I can't hold it. I was thinking of finding a way to get the cart."

"What oxcart!" The oval face man interrupted her, "How could such a vulgar thing be used for such a work of art? What if it gets stained?"

She greedily looked at every inch of color matching. "Heavens, have you really never learned art? "How did you come up with that color?"

Perfect color and size, each one looked so perfect that no one could find any fault with it.

"Not yet."

Cao Xiaoliu's talent made him extremely envious. However, she started to admire Tao Qing's sharp gaze. "Teacher Tao's eyes are like torches. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been discovered."

"Let's go, let's carry the things to the carriage together. I dare to say that Teacher Tao definitely likes it."

Along the way, his cold attitude towards Cao Xiaoliu had become more talkative, but most of them were just bragging about Tao Qing and belittling her. That was to say, the heavens were blind, and he had given a village girl the inspiration and talent for art, or hinting that Cao Xiaolian wanted to repay the favor and be loyal to Tao Qing in the future.

Cao Xiao Lian did not say anything. She turned her head towards the window and looked at the scenery along the way.

In the middle of summer, there were still people working hard in the fields. Everyone's sweat dripped onto the ground and turned into grains. Looking at the rice grains, the smile on their faces was uncontrollable.

However, who would have thought that after so many years, when the land began to collapse and the earth started to build up again, what would the situation be like here?

Cao Xiaolian did not say anything, but started to think about the future.

Although he looked like a chatterbox, his driving skills were first-rate. Not long later, the car stopped at Tao Qing Restaurant.

After the two of them carried the items in, just as they reached the entrance, the oval face man called out, "Teacher Tao." He heard angry roars coming from inside.

"You shutter up!"

Tao Qing's voice came from the back room, followed by a series of crackling English words.

He quickly took off his shoes, not even bothering to put on his slippers as he hastily ran inside the house.

Cao Xiaolan then heard the English conversation between the two.

Tao Qing's voice was very sharp and resounding, as if he had received some sort of stimulation. As for the oval face, its tone was very gentle. After a while, Tao Qing's voice slowly returned to its calm state.

They probably thought that Cao Xiaoling didn't understand English and thus didn't close the door.
