The passer-by sister who wears the female supporting role in the era

Chapter 10 Learning to Make Matchboxes with Grandma
in the kitchen...

"Mom, can I discuss something with you?"

Gao Yueyang took the opportunity to speak.

Wang Fengqin's hand holding the dish stopped: "What's the matter? If you want money to buy a pen, stop as soon as possible."

She smiled and shook her head: "No, didn't you say some time ago that you don't want a cent of the money we earn by ourselves. I want to make sure that what you said is not true."

Wang Fengqin was stunned for a moment, and then curled his lips in disdain: "Why, you don't want to go to school and go out to find a job? Cut, just your age and the birthmark on your face, which factory would want you!"

After saying that, he picked up the food and turned to leave.

"Mom, do you need to hand over the money I earn?"

Wang Fengqin didn't reply: "As long as you have the ability to earn money, Mom will definitely not take anything."

"Thank you, mom, you can't go back on it! There's a big sister to testify."

After Gao Yueyang finished speaking, he turned to look at Gao Hongyun, who had been silent for a while.

The corners of Gao Hongyun's mouth twitched slightly, she just came over to help with a meal and was forcibly named as a witness.

Also, Yueyang is too whimsical. If the money is so easy to earn, how can he stay at home for so long.

After eight o'clock in the morning, when Gao Hongxia saw that Gao Yueyang went out with her bag on her back, she quickly put down the Chinese book in her hand and asked Gao Hongyun, "Sister, what did she do?"

Gao Hongyun kept combing her hair and said, "I don't know, but, in the morning, our mother said that if Yueyang earned the money himself, he didn't need to hand it over."

"What?"

Gao Hongxia opened her mouth wide in surprise, then sat up from the bed at once: "Big sister, what do you mean? Could it be that Gao Yueyang has found a job that can earn money?"

Gao Hongyun was so frightened by the sharp voice that his hands trembled, and the wooden comb was almost unsteady.

"Why are you so excited? There's no such thing as a job. Don't forget that Yueyang is in school now."

"Also, why don't you have a big or small name? Yueyang is your second sister. If your mother hears it, it's time to scold you."

Gao Hongyun took off the flower cloth bag hanging on the wall and went out. At the same time, she was very unhappy. Because of her work, she was so annoying every day.

Gao Hongxia was so depressed that Gao Yueyang had all the benefits. After racking her brains for a long time, she couldn't think of any way to make money.

Gao Yueyang's grandmother is a native of Deng County. When she was young, her family was very good, but her family was defeated during the war. Now she lives with her uncle's family in the staff compound of the cotton spinning factory. The house with two bedrooms and one living room is much better than her own. .

"Dong dong dong."

"Who is it?"

"Grandma, it's me Yueyang."

With a creak, an old lady with half-white hair and a kind face opened the door.

"Oh, girl Yang is here, hurry up, hurry in, you are tired from walking so far, hurry up and take a break and drink some water."

Gao Yueyang was enthusiastically pulled by grandma to the sofa chair in the living room and sat down.

"You don't have to work on your milk. I'm not thirsty. This time I'm here to imagine you learning how to paste a matchbox."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and quickly put down the kettle and walked to Gao Yueyang's side to sit down: "What's the matter, is it that your mother dislikes you? Tell your grandma that she will decide for you."

Gao Yueyang smiled and shook his head: "No milk, I have already started junior high school again this year. I think I have nothing to do with a matchbox to earn some pocket money to buy some pens and notebooks, which can also reduce the burden on the family."

The old lady knew it, grabbed Gao Yueyang and patted it: "Okay, it's good to go to school, you finally think about it, sticking a matchbox is tired of your neck and eyes, don't do that when you are young, milk will give you money."

This is, the sound of "creaking" the door sounded.

"Yo, it's Cousin Yueyang here! Why don't you go into the house and play with Cousin?"

Just after Gao Hongying in the room posted it on the door, she heard her grandmother say that she wanted to give money, and immediately couldn't help opening the door and came out.

"Sister Yingzi is at home, I came to find grandma today to learn how to make a matchbox, so I won't play with you for now."

After saying hello, she got up and sat at the square table full of half-finished matchboxes.

"Grandma, come and teach me. When I learn it, you can introduce me to the match factory, and I can go get the goods myself and process them at home."

Grandma sat down helplessly, picked up the reading glasses by the table and put them on: "As long as you have the right idea, you always think about it, but don't delay your studies because of this money."

Gao Yueyang reassured the semi-finished product on the table, "Don't worry, milk, I won't delay my homework, I'll just have a little something to do on weekends."

Following her, Gao Hongying was a little confused, and asked suspiciously, "What's your homework?"

"Oh, Yueyang has returned to school."

Grandma explained casually.

Gao Hongying was stunned for a moment, then she didn't ask any more questions, she got up and went back to the room.

I thought to myself, what's the point of having to retake the junior high school test when I'm so old, and now there's no university to take the test.

The matchbox is the kind of cardboard box with no logo or pattern on the box, only a quote from a great man.

To paste the matchbox, you need to prepare wooden box strips, carton strips, and paste pots.

The paper outer box is easy to paste. Pick up a stack of about ten pieces, twist them open, apply glue together, and fold them one by one along the traces of the pressure line.

The most tedious thing is to paste the inner box. A series of steps, from applying paste, to placing wooden strips, folding and pressing, must be completed in one go.Otherwise, the strips of paper will stick to a clump and become useless.

The processing fee is settled on a monthly basis, and the wages for 1 pieces are only about four yuan. You can buy more than 30 catties of rice or five or six catties of meat.

Grandma and the aunt's family earn fifteen or six dollars a month when they are busy. This is definitely a temptation.

Don't forget, the monthly salary of workers in this era is only 30 to [-] yuan.

And paste matchbox does not require capital investment, regardless of weather, rain, day and night, can be made anytime, anywhere, labor intensity is not large, suitable for men, women and children.

Gao Yueyang had a lunch at grandma's house, and learned until after three o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, while grandma was on the toilet, he used space and thoughts, and it was as he imagined.

I just don't know how many semi-finished products can be pasted at the same time with my thoughts.

After that, Gao Yueyang followed his grandmother to the match factory, and in his grandmother's name received [-] sets of semi-finished matchboxes, wood chips, paper strips, trademarks and flour. .

Because in the past two years, my family had been pasting matchboxes for a while, but once the freshness passed, I was too tired to have the patience.

After such a long time, the memory of the original body pasting the matchbox is blurred, so there is today's trip.

After returning home, it was already past five o'clock. After putting things in the room, he warned Gao Hongxia, who was curious and glowing with golden eyes, not to touch it, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

Gao Hongxia's rebellious heart attacked, she had to stretch out her hand to see what happened.
