The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 224: Money in hand is the most reassuring

After the preserves and dried fruits were made, the family left the space.

Xiao Baoer went to the old yard to check on the clothing-making situation. People in the two rooms were chatting while working. Aunt Song Yun was checking the quality of the clothes, and Jiang Yuqing was checking the total number of ready-made clothes and the number of clothes made by each person.

"Sister Baoer, you're here," Jiang Yuqing saw her coming, stopped what she was doing and moved a stool for her to sit down.

"Just mind your own business. I'll just take a look and leave. How many ready-made garments do you have now?"

Jiang Yuqing glanced at the book, "There are 206 pieces. We have already changed the fabrics to different colors, and everyone is working on it."

Xiao Baoer nodded. It was already very fast that these people could make so many clothes in such a few days, and this was just the beginning.

Xiao Baoer has been having an idea these days. She wants to build a large factory in the village after her baby is one month old, and then focus on developing clothing.

There are many sewing machines that can be used in the space, but this does not mean that Xiao Baoer has given up on pure handmade clothing making. She wants to build a factory and recruit workers in different departments, some of whom will do pure handmade clothing making and some of whom will use machines.

However, these manpower are definitely not enough, and the wages for handmade clothes and machine-made clothes are definitely different.

Although we are now in the 70s, we still have to pursue our career and not give up our passion. Not only can our dreams come true, but it will also allow rural women to earn money with their own hands.

However, in order to realize this, Xiao Baoer still needs to go to the county garment factory in person. Of course, it would be best if she could cooperate with them on her own design later. In this way, the large factory built in the village can be backed by the county garment factory, and it will be easy to explain even if someone comes to investigate.

"The speed is already very fast, which is good. I plan to ship out these 200 pieces first, and then I can pay everyone's salary so that everyone will have motivation to work later," Xiao Baoer said with a smile.

The people who were working also heard what Xiao Baoer said. It was time to get their wages, and they needed more money.

"That's great, Mrs. Zhensheng. Once you pay out the wages, everyone will dare to work without eating or drinking," Aunt Zhang joked with a smile.

"I'm the first one to sign up. I won't even have to eat. I can sit here and sew clothes every day," Li Dagou's wife also said.

It was really lively with everyone talking and laughing. Xiao Baoer felt that this kind of working atmosphere was very good. Everyone worked while chatting, and time passed quickly.

"Okay, then everyone work hard and we'll see who gets the most money. Besides, the Chinese New Year is only a month away, so I'll give everyone gifts and let everyone have meat to eat."

Xiao Baoer is generous, and everyone feels at ease while working. It seems that this year we can have a happy New Year.

Xiao Baoer spoke for a while to let everyone work with peace of mind, and then went home. Shen Zhensheng was reviewing ancient poems with his son, and the two decided to teach them the Three Character Classic every day starting from tomorrow.

"You're back. Do you feel cold? Do you want to put on more clothes?" Shen Zhensheng touched her hand and felt it was a little cold.

"No, it's not cold. It's warm in this room," Xiao Baoer sat on the stool.

"How's the situation over there? How many pieces have been made?"

"More than 200 pieces. Didn't you and Zhou Bao agree to deliver the supplies the day after tomorrow? Take the clothes with you, and then I will pay everyone first. Only when we see the money will we be motivated to work."

Shen Zhensheng laughed, "Where did you get this conclusion?"

"It was like this when I was managing a company. I also observed the employees in the company and they were happiest only on the day when they got their salaries."

Shen Zhensheng couldn't stop laughing, his wife was so cute, but what she said was also true, especially now when we are so poor, if we could see the wages, it would be very effective in boosting everyone's motivation.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay everyone after we deliver the gifts the day after tomorrow. We have to go to the county again before the New Year, and it's time to check up the little babies," Shen Zhensheng touched Xiao Baoer's bulging belly.

Xiao Baoer nodded. She didn't remember when to go for the check-up, but this man remembered it very clearly.

After the snow stopped, the villagers, under the organization of the team leader, cleared the snow on every road in the village. Every household sent at least one person to work, and they did so for several days in a row.

Xiao Baoer stayed at home with the children, and Shen Zhensheng was clearing snow in the village, except for going to the town for trading and teaching Shen Zhenjiang how to make braised pork.

After Xiao Baoer looked at the verified account book with Jiang Yuqing, she went to the old yard to pay everyone their wages.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. The first batch of clothes made by everyone has been shipped out. I will pay everyone now. I feel most relieved when I have the money in my hands."

Xiao Baoer and Jiang Yuqing distributed wages to everyone together. Jiang Yuqing read out the names and wages, and Xiao Baoer distributed the money to everyone. Everyone had a happy face when they received the money.

The ones who received the most were Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law and aunt-in-law. They both received more than ten yuan and were extremely excited to receive the money. Xiao Baoer also gave half a pound of brown sugar as a reward to the one who worked the fastest.

When others saw the money and brown sugar in the two people's hands, they were envious and jealous.

When the workers go home to cook in the morning, they can't close their mouths. They don't even feel cold, their teeth are exposed.

The people who were shoveling snow on the road in the village saw this group of people happily sharing food, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you pick up money? Look at how you are smiling."

Aunt Zhang and her friends don't get angry when they hear others making fun of them, because they are proud of the money they earn with their own hands.

"We didn't pick up the money, but we did earn a lot," several people said deliberately to anger others.

There were several families here who did not believe that Xiao Baoer would pay the wages as she said. Especially the men in the families, they refused to let the women in the family work, for fear that they would not be paid.

Now that they have received their wages, their eyes are red with envy, but what is the use? If they don't seize the opportunity, no one can help them.

After several days, there were no longer any problems with the roads in the village, and Xiao Baoer went out more often.

"Honey, do you think we should recruit people to learn knitting now or after the New Year?"

Shen Zhensheng considered all aspects of the problem and said, "I think it's better to wait until after the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, you can start working and earning money directly. If you learn for a while before the Chinese New Year, and then have to stop for a while during the Chinese New Year, it will take a few more days to get started smoothly when you start working. What do you think?"

"I think what you said makes sense. This is what I discussed with my aunt and Aunt Song Yun yesterday. My aunt thinks that there are a few people working now who are good at knitting sweaters. They can be transferred to knit sweaters and embroider, and then we can hire people to sew clothes."

After the two discussed how to proceed, Shen Zhensheng also had to find Zhou Bao to discuss the sales of the sweaters.

After the New Year, Shen Zhensheng will join the transportation team. At that time, he can also export a batch of ready-made clothes, and he should be able to bring a batch of sweaters along.
