Stepmother

    Mao Ni is tired, she has such a mother on the stall... If it weren't for such a mother, she would not have the chance to go to secondary school: "We have to go to the factory tomorrow morning, and we don't have time to wash."

    "Then wash the day after tomorrow." The **** said, "It will be fine for a day or two later."

    Mao Ni thought to herself, you are fine, I have something to do: "Third sister said earlier that there will be workers coming tomorrow, and people will see that you have oil on your head, and they will think that I do not love you as much as you do. Clean. Will people tell me?"

    "She dares!" The **** said, "Who said you, I, I—"

    Song Zhaodi interrupted her: "No one else will come tomorrow, but the brother and sister-in-law of an officer next door. They can use sewing machines, and they can become regular workers when they come here."

    "The officer's brother?" The **** stood up, "What kind of worker are you not a soldier? Isn't this taking a job with our Mao Ni? Walk around, take a shower and wash your hair."

    Mao Ni came over this time, not only brought all the quilts and clothes, but also the towels and the tea jar. Seeing that her mother finally let go, she quickly said, "You go outside and wait for me, I'll get a towel."

    "You still have a way." Zhong Jianguo whispered.

    Song Zhaodi: "She expects Mao Ni to be the director to make money. People like her don't dare to seize her weakness and ask her to toss."

    The next morning, Song Zhaodi and the others went to the second floor of the staff dormitory. Song Zhaodi walked to the far east, opened the door and called three people in: "There is a bed and a table inside, and the curtains have been fixed for Mao Ni. She can stay here tonight and cook downstairs."

    "The kitchen is the row of tiled houses against the south wall?" Song Laibao asked.

    Song Zhaodi nodded.

    The **** is very satisfied: "It's good. By the way, Zhao Di, I see that there are curtains in the two rooms on the west side. Who are they prepared for?"

    "One belongs to Erwa and the other belongs to the factory manager." Song Zhaodi told Mao Ni last night that another factory manager would arrive in two days, "The beds and tables are the same as Mao's. It's the same as Ni's." Then he said to Mao Ni, "You make the bed first, if there is anything else left, I will take you to buy it."

    The **** hurriedly asked: "Will you buy it?"

    "You pay." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll buy it."

    The **** pouted: "You are too stingy."

    "Then reduce Mao Ni's salary to thirty?" Song Zhaodi said, "What does she want, what shall I buy for her."

    The **** quickly shook her head: "That's not good."

    "Mom, I work here, the villagers won't talk about me anymore, and I can make a lot of money in the future to buy you TVs, refrigerators and fans." Mao Ni said, "You and Dad If I’m bored at home, I can come and stay for a few days. If I don’t work here, I’ll have nothing.”

    The **** thinks about it carefully, her daughter is right: "Let's go buy a stove." After saying that, she went outside.

    Mao Ni is helpless: "Mother, don't worry, wait for me to put things away."

    "Throw the bed first." The voice of the **** came from outside.

    Song Zhaodi gave her the key: "Let's go. It's rare for your mother to be diligent once."

    "Oh, I didn't ask her to come." Mao Ni said, "She said every day that this place is far from Binhai, and she was worried. My father was nagged by her for a headache, so he asked me to bring her here. She's here. Actually, she's not worried, she just wants to come out and play."

    "Maurney, Maury—"

    Mao Ni hurriedly ran out: "Come, come."

    Song Laibao was helpless: "This woman is not sensible at all."

      "

    Song Laibao: "That's true. You go out first, I'll lock the door."

    Song Zhaodi went outside and saw the **** waving at her, telling her to hurry up, and shook her head helplessly.

    Since this place is designated as a special economic zone, there are more people selling things on the street, and many things are cheaper than Binhai. A **** buys something cheap when she sees it.

    Mao Ni told her that the salary will not be paid until the end of next month, and now that the money is used up, there will be no money to use next month, so she can honestly calculate what to buy and can't buy it for the time being what. Rao is like this, or buy a large package of things.

    Jiang Xiaoqin did tell Song Zhaodi that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law can come here today. Song Zhaodi and the others didn't go back in the afternoon. The four of them made do with a meal, and Song Zhaodi took the three of them to the factory to disassemble the machine. Halfway through, Jiang Xiaoqin came.

    Lu Liang's younger brother put down the bag when he entered the door, and helped Song Zhaodi pack up together. Afterwards, the seven went to the staff dormitory together. Except for Erwa, Cai Kun, and Mao Ni's room with curtains, the other rooms only have beds and small tables.

    The **** mother saw that the table in the room was not as big as the table in Maoni's side, and it was not comparable to her daughter, she was very satisfied.

    Song Zhaodi told Jiang Xiaoqin before that Jiang Xiaoqin brought two curtains this time. Lu Liang's younger brother and sister-in-law were used to farm work, and they tidied up the room in a while.

    This side has just been cleaned up, and Zhong Jianguo's soldiers have also arrived. Song Zhaodi took the four to the dormitory, and then took them to the workshop. Then he gave all the remaining keys to one of them, and told him that there were still people coming in these two days, and Song Zhaodi went back.

    Lu Liang's younger brother and sister-in-law and Mao Ni did not go back. They want to get acquainted with the environment, see what is still missing, and buy it tomorrow.

    Mao Ni used to study in Binhai, lived alone and experienced marriage, not a little girl just out of society, four veterans lived in the male staff dormitory next to them, With so many people around, Song Zhaodi was relieved.

     Back on the island, Zhenxing and Liu Jingjing have already cooked, waiting for them to come back.

    After dinner, Song Laibao and the son of a **** went upstairs to watch TV, Song Zhaodi called Liu Jingjing in front of him: "Has your eldest sister resigned?"

    "My eldest sister is going to resign, but her mother-in-law is not allowed." Liu Jingjing was very embarrassed, "Her mother-in-law said that private factories are not as reliable as state-owned units. Her mother explained to my eldest sister's mother-in-law that Erwa is not someone else. , is Zhenxing's younger brother, and her mother-in-law doesn't agree. Today you go to Yongcheng, I call my mother, and my mother doesn't know what to do. "

    Song Zhaodi: "Is your eldest brother-in-law their only child?"

    "No, he also has a younger brother and an older brother." Liu Jingjing said.

    Song Zhaodi wondered: "Then why doesn't she agree?"

    "I don't understand either." Liu Jingjing said, "eldest sister also said before that her mother-in-law thinks their family eats too much, so it stands to reason that my eldest sister comes to work here, and the child sends her to my mother's house. , I should be happy that there are four less people to eat."

    Song Zhaodi instantly understood: "Your eldest sister gives her mother-in-law a lot of money every month, right?"

    "You, you mean her mother-in-law—" Liu Jingjing moved her heart and opened her mouth, "I'll call my eldest sister tomorrow."

    Song Zhaodi: "Speak well. After all, she is the mother-in-law of the eldest brother-in-law, and your brother-in-law is upset." Turning to the kitchen, "Zhenxing, I will do the dishes later, I have something to look for. you."

    "Teacher, I can hear you." Zhenxing said.

    Song Zhaodi: "Go to Yongcheng tomorrow afternoon, find six more workers, and those who can cut clothes will be given priority."

    "Six people?" Zhong Jianguo calculated, "There are only ten people in total, how many clothes can you make?"

    Song Zhaodi: "There is also a strong sister, who specializes in sewing buttons. There are few people and two babies are good to teach. When they get started, they will find them on the island next month. Our family area is here. There must be a dozen or so. Erwa does not need military family members to set up a factory, and does not need fishermen on the island, and the commander will have to talk to you when he comes back.”

    "No wonder you're not in a hurry." Zhong Jianguo said, "I thought you asked Big Sister or Aunt Liu to help you find someone."

    Song Zhaodi: "No. Jingjing, call tomorrow. If you are afraid of arguing with your mother, ask Zhenxing to help you."

    "Okay." Liu Jingjing said, "Teacher, please go up and take a rest. Zhenxing and I will pack up and help you lock the door."

    Song Zhaodi stood up: "I have to wash my face. After running for such a day, my legs and feet are sore."

    "I told you to learn to ride, but you didn't." Zhong Jianguo said, "If you learn, do you still need to walk?"

    Song Zhaodi: "I don't want to learn. I will ask Erwa to buy me a car tomorrow."

    "You're like a money printing machine." Zhong Jianguo got up and went to the kitchen to bring hot water and put it in front of Song Zhaodi, "Hot your feet."

    Seeing this, Liu Jingjing ran to the kitchen, cleaned up and dragged Zhenxing to the school family home.

    In the morning of the next day, Song Laibao packed up his clothes and asked the **** to go back with her. The **** was not happy and wanted to play for another two days. Song Laibao frightened her and made Zhao Di angry. She found someone else to be the workshop director, and Mao Nicole had no money to buy her a refrigerator, TV, electric fan.

      After eating at Mao Ni's place, the two went to Hangzhou by car in the afternoon, and then took the train back from Hangzhou.

    Speaking of which, Zhenhai County is not big, and it is really not easy to find six people who can cut clothes. There are not only state-run garment factories, but also private garment factories here. There is no shortage of jobs for people who can make clothes.

    Zhenxing later put out that Erwa was a top student at Imperial College, and said that there was no limit to men and women, and the salary was 30, and there was a bonus at the end of the year. Only six people were found, two men and four women.

    On the 22nd of the first month, in the morning, Erwa and Cai Kun came back. Rest at home overnight and go to the factory the next morning. On the morning of the 24th, the artillery was fired.

    Erwa once asked someone to make a long wooden board, wrote the four characters "Spring and Autumn Clothing" in person, and nailed it to the wall next to the gate. The next afternoon, Liu Jingjing's sister and brother-in-law also arrived.

    Erwa is worried that she will teach the workers and be poached by others. Therefore, a dozen people, including Liu Jingjing's sister and brother-in-law, were divided into three workshops. In the future, when there are more people, appointing them as group leaders is actually separate teaching.

    There are six workshops in total. If Erwa does not plan to recruit more people, it will definitely not build so many. At this time, the people were still very simple, and they didn't separate the husband and wife, and they didn't find any problems with the two babies being so divided.

    Everyone saw that Erwa's clothes were much different from those on the market. It seemed that Erwa's clothes were better than the ones sold on the market. Following such a truly talented and practical boss, everyone felt at ease. .

    On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, the Spring and Autumn Clothing Factory is on the right track. Zhenxing gave all the money in his hand to Erwa and kept Erwa to buy cloth.

    Erwa prepared 30 kinds of clothes this time, including spring and autumn clothes, all of which are popular styles. By the 26th of the Gregorian calendar, 600 sets have been made, and all the money for revitalization has been used up .

    Zili and Dawa knew that Erwa needed money to set up a factory, so they sent their wages to Erwa, and Gengsheng also gave his money to Erwa. Erwa handed over the workers' wages to Song Zhaodi and asked Song Zhaodi to help him pay the wages.

    On the afternoon of the 26th, Erwa told everyone that Saturday and Sunday would be off for two days, and the wages would be paid on the afternoon of the 30th, so she and Cai Kun took 300 sets of clothes by plane to the imperial capital .

    Elder Qi knew from a long time ago that Erwa makes good-looking clothes, and was very supportive when he learned that he set up a clothing factory. As soon as Erwa got on the plane, Qi Lao sent his attendant to drive to the airport.

    It was not easy to enter the Ziteng Courtyard with a car of clothes, so the attendant simply parked the car in the community where Qi Mingwei was located. Qi Mingwei saw that Qi Lao even sent out his own orderlies to support Erwa with actions. Although he felt that Qi Lao was partial and had never been so supportive to his son, on the morning of the 28th, Erwa held a clothing exhibition, and Qi Mingwei and his daughter-in-law still called friends to support him.

      Otherwise, Qi Lao knew that the Lian family were all gone, but if he didn't go, he would have to let him go.

    The venue was set up by Lian Hui. Lian Hui wanted to make a big effort to sell the "Travel Spring and Autumn" magazine she founded to thousands of households. She was very attentive. The floor on which the model walks is covered with white cloth, and the chairs that the audience sits on are borrowed by her from the relevant unit, all of which are exactly the same.

    On the 28th, when it was dawn, the layout began. The sun rose and the layout was completed. When passers-by saw the large characters of "Spring and Autumn Clothing and Spring and Autumn Clothing Exhibition", they couldn't help but stop and ask someone about the origin of Spring and Autumn Clothing.

    Pedestrians did not find out, but they attracted reporters from other newspapers. When Lian Hui proposed to start a bimonthly magazine, many people opposed it. The leaders knew Lian Hui's background and did not dare to offend her. During the meeting, they told everyone to try it first.

    The 28th happened to be Sunday, and the reporters of the travel newspaper were very unhappy when they were called over to work overtime. However, when they found that they were sitting and waiting for the models to enter the venue, other newspapers could only join the crowd. Looking from the outside, the unwillingness in my heart disappeared instantly.

    At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was high, the person was drowsy, and the model came out.

    As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and Buddha depends on gold. The models were picked by Lian Hui from the art troupe. The men were beautiful and beautiful, and they put on well-fitting clothes and leather shoes. There were eight models, three men and five women.

    Cai Kun took the microphone to the stage, told everyone that it was gone, and then bowed with the model, thank you for your support. Finally, let me tell you that they brought 300 sets of clothes this time, which are exactly the same as those worn by the models. There are sizes, but each set only has ten pieces. If you like it, you can buy it next to you.

    Lian Hui's friend, Qi Mingwei's friend, Liu Ping's colleague, these people are not bad money, see a satin dress for dozens of yuan, now it's cold and can't wear it Don't hesitate to buy it.

    Rich people buy expensive, onlookers buy cotton and linen clothes. The crowd dissipated and the clothes were sold out. Liu Ping called out, "Why didn't you leave me two pieces?"

    "I'll keep it for you." Erwa didn't expect that 300 pieces of clothes would be sold out in a while, so she handed the wallet to Cai Kun, "There are still 300 pieces in my factory, Ming Erlian The Hui unit makes the magazines, you can tick any one you like, Cai Kun will go back and bring the clothes, and I will send them to you."

    Liu Ping hurriedly asked: "Anything else?"

    "There are many more." Erwa said, "Thank you for bringing your colleagues here today." Liu Ping brought her colleagues over, which was beyond Erwa's expectations, "Among the people who bought clothes today There are a few self-employed industrial and commercial households. I told them that if they want to wholesale, they have to go to my factory, and they plan to visit me. You can also buy clothes here in the future. "

    Lian Hui was surprised: "Self-employed? They know where your factory is?"

    "We have business cards." Cai Kun took out a stack of cards from his pocket, "Miss Lian, do you want it?"

    Lian Hui smiled: "Just call my name."

    The clothing exhibition ended, the Lian family and Qi Mingwei and his wife left. Now there are only Erwa, Cai Kun, Qi Lao's attendant, Lian Hui, Liu Ping and Lian Hui's friends and models.

    Erwa: "Where are they?"

    "Change clothes under the tent over there." Lian Hui pointed to the tent not far away.

    Erwa: "You guys wait for me here for a while." When I saw people, I gave them money and gave them the clothes they wore.

    Eight models did not expect Erwa to be so generous, so they all left their contact information when they left, asking Erwa to contact them directly next time.

    Erwa smiled and came out with the contact information. Lian Hui's friend also left, and Liu Ping was still there. Erwa was a little surprised: "Aunt Liu Ping, why haven't you gone back yet?"

    "Go back with you." Liu Ping glanced at the wallet in Cai Kun's hand, bulging, "Erwa made a lot of money today?"

    Erwa: "The capital has been earned back."

    "Capital?" Liu Ping was surprised, "So much money is enough?"

    Erwa: "My factory has to pay nearly 2,000 yuan in wages this month, excluding the fabrics, the round-trip fare for Cai Kun and I, and the money for the model, you can calculate what you have left. How many?"

    Erwa nodded: "Yes. Lian Hui, thank you. I won't say anything else, just give me your family's size tomorrow, four sets of clothes for each person."

    "Do you have mine?" Liu Ping hurriedly asked.

    Lian Hui is quite speechless: "Are you our Lian family?"

    Liu Ping choked for a moment. She asked this because she used to find Erwa to make clothes, and Erwa ignored her: "Then what you promised me just now, will you give it back to me?"

    Erwa smiled and said, "Of course I will give it to you. The four sets of clothes are thanks to Lian Hui for your help, and the one for you is thank you for bringing your colleagues to join us. It's different. By the way, Lian Hui, you guys tomorrow. When the unit publishes newspapers and magazines, remember not to show the model's feet."

    "Why?" Liu Ping was curious.

    Erwa: "I bought the shoes the model wore today from a local shoe factory in Yongcheng. They saw my clothes were in the newspapers and they were selling well, and they would also find Lian Hui and his unit. —”

    "Host a shoe exhibition?" Liu Ping answered.

    Erwa wanted to roll her eyes: "I will sponsor Lianhui's unit for a sum of money, and ask Lianhui's unit to put their shoes on it."

    "Then, can Lian Hui also get the money?" Liu Ping asked.

    Lian Hui: "I am the founder, the unit really receives the sponsorship fee and will give me a bonus."

    "That's fine." Liu Ping looked at Erwa, "I didn't expect you to be the most skilled person in your family." Noticing Lian Hui's pouting, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind. Thought, "Lian Hui, when will your friend pull the chair?"

    Lian Hui: "It will take a while. If you want to go back, take the car at Grandpa Qi's house first."

    "Then I'll go back." Liu Ping glanced at Erwa, then at Lian Hui, and urged the old attendant to drive.
