marriage is natural

Chapter 17 Women are really fickle

On Saturday, Father He and Mother He had breakfast and went to work as usual.

After He Wei was discharged from the hospital, He Mu found a job as a handyman in a fast food restaurant near the back door of the community.

What is a handyman?That is, what the boss tells you to do, you have to do.

For example, in the morning, although the fast food restaurant is not open to the public, Hemu has to go to the store to help, wash and chop vegetables, and help the cook; at noon and evening, she has to do a good job as a dishwasher, table cleaner and packer. thing.

In short, it is the kind of screw that "goes where it is needed" mentioned in the book. Although it is inconspicuous, it is absolutely messy without it.

Not long after Father He and Mother He left, He Xidong also got up.

Today is a rest day. There is a chrysanthemum exhibition on Dengyun Street. There must be a lot of people. He wants to go to do some business.

He Wei excused that she wanted to do the exercise set at home, so she didn't go with him.

And after He Xidong walked out of the house with a sack of second-hand goods on her back, she also packed up and went to Yuxiu Pavilion to start work.

Zhao Shirong had already learned from Tao Defu that she was coming on Saturday, no, he had been sitting in the store and waiting.

When they saw her, they exchanged warm greetings first.

He Wei said apologetically, "Boss Zhao, I'm really sorry, I..."

"Hey!" Zhao Shirong interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "I can't blame you, but Lao Tao and I were in a hurry and went to the school to inquire about your situation without your consent. You don't blame us."

"According to me, we are all our own people, so don't apologize like this. Today is Xiaohe's first day at work. I will treat guests at noon, and everyone will go to Juxianlou for a meal together."

Tao Defu accepted the words with a smile, and a group of fellows shouted excitedly: "Yes!"

"What's so good! Hurry up and go to work! This Saturday, there are quite a few tourists who come to visit Yugu Alley, one by one, give me a little bit of skin, anyone who is caught by me is lazy, don't It’s Juxianlou, you don’t even have the fast food worth six yuan!”

The guys were laughing and laughing, but their movements were very agile. I was afraid that the shopkeeper would have nothing to eat, so everyone went to work.

Zhou An gave He Wei a few packs of embroidery needles he ordered before, and ran to the front hall with a smile to get busy.

He Wei took the embroidery needle bag and followed Tao Defu up to the second floor.

The easternmost room on the second floor is the workshop where the embroiderers of Yuxiu Pavilion work.

Zhao Shirong followed behind the two of them muttering words, and glanced at He Wei's back from time to time, unable to figure it out.

According to her teachers, her family's financial situation is not very good, her parents are both laid-off workers, and there is an older brother who dropped out of school in the third year of junior high school, and now sells second-hand goods on the street.No wonder she volunteered to come to Yuxiu Pavilion to pick up work, probably because she wanted to lighten the burden on the family.

But what he couldn't figure out was that her parents couldn't read big characters, let alone have the unique charm of intellectuals, but how could they raise a daughter with such a refined temperament?Every gesture shows the style of a lady, she treats people politely and considerately, and she is also good at embroidery. Is it possible that this can also be born?

No matter what Zhao Shirong was thinking, He Wei had entered the workshop at this moment, and under Tao Defu's introduction, he got to know several embroidery workers in Yuxiu Pavilion.

It is not difficult to guess that the owner of the two embroidery frames by the southeast window should be the senior embroidery worker that Tao Defu said.Indeed, the other party's two gazes, one cold and one hot, were too obvious.

The enthusiastic gaze came from a short, fat, middle-aged woman. According to Tao Defu, her surname is Zhao and her maiden name is Zhao Furong. The shop assistants call her "Sister Zhao". She passed the advanced embroidery skill test three years ago. , and has been working in Yuxiu Pavilion since then.

Perhaps because of the age difference, Sister Zhao looked very friendly to He Wei. After listening to Tao Defu's introduction, she kept patting her chest and told He Wei to just look for her if she had anything to do.

The owner of that cold gaze is surnamed Yu, named Yu Yajun, who obtained the advanced embroidery skill certificate at the beginning of last year, although she has obtained the advanced embroidery certificate for less than two years, but she is young, no matter how old she is. She is only in her twenties, which is definitely a rare existence in the industry. No wonder Yuxiu Pavilion pays more attention to her than Sister Zhao who is over forty.

The handicraft industry is not comparable to the software industry. The latter mainly relies on mental work and begins to decline after the age of 30. However, handicraft work will improve with age. Those who are able to muddle along, after 30 years, will still use the original craftsmanship, and maybe it will go backwards, so there is no way to say that, but it is like this: the older you are, the more refined your craftsmanship.

And like Yu Yajun, who passed the skill assessment of advanced embroidery workers just after his 20th birthday, there is quite a lot of room for future development. After a few more years of improvement, he may become an authoritative master in the industry and one of the best in the global embroidery industry. romantic figure.

If you are not polite, if you don’t hold back a little bit, you will become famous in the future, and when you think back on the grievances you suffered in your shop, you will be petty and secretly put on a pair of small shoes for you, and you will have nowhere to cry.

Therefore, Yu Yajun, who was enshrined by Yuxiu Pavilion as the Goddess of Wealth, heard that there was a new embroidery worker in the shop, who was younger than her, but he could repair the ancient frame that she and Sister Zhao could not fight together. Looking at Xiuping, it is impossible to say that he has no idea in his heart.She couldn't believe that Zhao's heart was as warm and generous as her face showed.Maybe someone's heart is darker than hers, but because of the shopkeeper's presence, they are just pretending.

Yu Yajun glanced at Sister Zhao mockingly, then cast her gaze on He Wei.

13 years old, heh, the shopkeeper is really bold, even child laborers dare to hire them, aren't they afraid that these embroidery workers will report to the police station?
Furthermore, there is an age limit for the skill test for advanced embroidery workers.

So what if you can do difficult embroidery at the age of 13?Without a technician certificate, the embroidery made by you will not bear your name at all. At best, it will be a patchwork or popular embroidery work, and it will not pose a threat to her in a short time.And when the other party turns eighteen and can take the skill test for advanced embroidery workers, he may have reached the peak of the industry, let alone such small roles.

After the appraisal was completed, Yu Yajun looked away disdainfully, and focused on the embroidery work on the shelf. He didn't want to pay attention to He Wei, who had just joined the embroidery team.

He Wei didn't think too much about it.The reason why she joined Yuxiu Pavilion and became one of the embroiderers in the shop was entirely because of the high salary offered by Yuxiu Pavilion, and the contract was not a dead contract. If you are well-off, it is completely okay not to renew your visa.

Right now, the most important task before her is to repair Zhao Shirong's ancient screen.

So, after Tao Defu finished the introduction, she came to the embroidery frame that will belong to her for the next three years, checked it, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, then turned to Tao Defu: "Is the embroidery screen repaired here?"

When she asked, all the other embroidery workers in the workshop raised their heads and stared at her with burning eyes.

Sister Zhao took the lead and interrupted with a smile: "The shopkeeper agrees, let us also open our eyes. Xiaohe, don't worry, see if you can't learn ancient embroidery."

He Wei smiled, did not speak, and left the decision to Tao Defu.

To be honest, she never thought of hiding her ancient embroidery skills at all. If these embroiderers want to learn, she can just teach them, but right now, she is busy with her studies and has to hide it from her family. It's true that I don't have that much free time, so I won't say this.

[You are stupid, why teach them for nothing?If you really have time, why don't you use it to hold a training class? 】

Yes!
He Wei's eyes lit up, and she praised the system gentleman in her heart, this is a good idea!Anyway, it is teaching, why not use it to make money?When she has saved enough funds, it would be a good direction to start a business and become a carefree little boss.

[Who said to be a top student and go all the way to postdoctorate?Why did you change direction? 】Women are really fickle.

He Wei gritted her teeth, can't she start a business part-time after school?
