70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 623 Do it together
"Xiao Nian, you came to visit, why didn't you bring your children with you?" Aunt Chen thought Xie Xiaonian was here, so she greeted with a smile.

"I came here today for business, so I didn't bring them with me." Xie Xiaonian continued with a smile.

Then she sat on the chair next to Aunt Chen.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Chen asked suspiciously.

"That's right, what's the business? Tell us, why are you still holding a sewing dustpan? It's getting dark now, and you can't see, and you haven't turned on the lights. What needlework are you still doing?" , and don’t rest, it’s really hard work.” Sun Hong, who was sitting on the side to enjoy the shade, inquired with her mouth curled up.

"What are you talking about, Xiao Nian is called hard work, what is hard work? Isn't hard work wrong?" Seeing Sun Hong like this, Aunt Chen immediately chimed in.

"I didn't say there's anything wrong with working hard, I just want Xiao Nian to rest."

In this most glorious era of labor, she dare not say that hard work is not good.

"Xiao Nian, what business are you going to do? Go on, don't talk to her." Aunt Chen ignored Sun Hong next to her, turned her head and said to Xie Xiaonian.

"It's like this, ma'am, my friend needs to process a batch of head flowers. He saw that I can embroider and I'm good at needlework, so he asked me to process it for him, but the quantity to be processed is too large, and I can't do it myself. , I remember that you can embroider, and your craftsmanship is also very good, so I thought of asking if you would like to do it together, so as to save the money and let strangers earn it." Xie Xiaonian said directly.

She told Aunt Chen directly in the yard, and it was also for a purpose, so that other people would definitely want to join when they heard that there was money to be made.

At that time, they will be begging themselves, not themselves begging them, so that they will save themselves trouble in the future.

"Yes, yes, but I'm old, so I don't know if I can do it well." Aunt Chen said hesitantly.

"You are not blind and deaf, so you are not old, and this thing is very easy to make, just look at it."

After speaking, Xie Xiaonian removed the covered towel, and handed the completed and unfinished head flowers to Aunt Chen to see.

Then she made a few and showed them to Aunt Chen.

"It turns out that this is how the head flowers are made. It's not difficult." Aunt Chen studied it carefully, and saw that Xie Xiaonian's making is really not too difficult. Some of them don't require much effort at all. good.Said for sure.

"That's right, you've been working for a long time, so I'm sure it won't be difficult for you. Small ones like this one are relatively simple, and the manual cost is 5 points. The medium ones are 8 points. Big ones like this , the one without embroidery is [-] points, and the one with embroidery is [-] cents, as long as it is done well and has no flaws, it will be paid in cash." Xie Xiaonian introduced.

At first, the people around just looked at it curiously, and didn't interrupt, for fear that Xie Xiaonian would ask them to help with white work.

But when I heard that there was wages, and the wages were not low, a little daughter-in-law couldn't help but said, "Xiao Nian, do you need others? Can I follow suit? Although I don't know how to embroider, I can do needlework." It's also very good."

"It's ok, but you have to make sure to do it well, and you can't damage it. If you don't do it well, you have to rework it, and you have to pay a deposit of [-] yuan in advance. At that time, you will be given a deposit note. When you don't If you do it, the deposit will be refunded to you with the deposit note. But if you damage the material, it will be deducted from the wages first, and if the wages are not enough, it will be deducted from the deposit." Xie Xiaonian said beforehand.

"No problem. I took a look at it just now. I can do it with just a few stitches. If you are worried, you can teach me a few simple ones first. I will do it first. If you can't do it well, you don't need to ask. I'm too embarrassed to do it myself." The young daughter-in-law promised.

"But don't you have to go to work? Do you have the time to do it?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, after I get off work at noon and evening, I have plenty of free time, so I promise I won't delay your handover." The little daughter-in-law said happily.

"Okay, then you and I will go to my house later, bring back some simple materials, and try it out. But I will give you the materials for a few hair flowers, and you have to give me a few hair flowers. If it is damaged and seized privately, otherwise, the money will be deducted according to the cost, and a cost is a dime."

"Okay, no problem." The little daughter-in-law responded readily.

"Xiao Nian, I'm also good at sewing, so I'll follow you too."

"Xiao Nian, and me, and me, you can't forget me."

Seeing that there is money to be made, the other women who were enjoying the shade said one after another.

Whether they are working or not, they have some spare time every day. If they can use this time to make money, life at home will be easier, so all women and girls All very positive.

"Okay, everyone, as long as you agree to the regulations I just said, you can follow me to the house to get work later." Seeing that the effect she wanted was achieved, Xie Xiaonian continued with a smile.

"You're speculating, what if we get caught when the time comes?" Sun Hong saw that everyone was surrounding Xie Xiaonian, begging her to give her a job, feeling a little upset, so she couldn't help tearing things down.

"Of course it's not speculation. We're just earning a manual fee. We're using labor to make money. It's the same reason as you usually paste matchboxes in the factory." Xie Xiaonian saw that the people around him retreated a little after hearing Sun Hong's words, so he quickly accepted road.

"That's right, we're just earning a manual fee, and we're not doing business. It's not speculative. If you are afraid and don't want to do it, then forget it. Xiao Nian, I will do it with you, and I will follow you to your house to get some later." When I get the materials back, I have nothing to do except washing and cooking every day. I can subsidize my family by making some flowers. Just like now, I can make money by making flowers while enjoying the cool. Where can I find such a good thing? Go!" Aunt Chen said in support.

"My aunt is right. If you have concerns, you don't have to do it. My friend just saw that I was free at home, so he found me these jobs, and I also saw that Aunt Chen didn't have much to do, so I thought I wanted to let Mrs. Chen also have a way to make money, so I came here. If you are willing to earn pocket money, you can follow suit. If you don’t want to, forget it. After all, there are so many people in the capital. My friend wants to find some people to help with the work. , it's still very easy." Xie Xiaonian said half-truthfully.

"No worries, no worries, Xiao Nian, I will follow you, thanks to your friend, we can have this way to earn money and subsidize the family, otherwise, there is no place to find such a good job." At the beginning of the speech The little daughter-in-law quickly answered.

"That's right, we will follow you. The law does not blame the public. Everyone will follow suit. Nothing will happen."

"I'll follow you too. I've been sticking matchboxes all day long, and nothing happened. I'm sure this will be fine."

After hearing this, the others felt that what Xie Xiaonian said was right, they were making money with their labor, and they were not stealing opportunities, not speculative.

And the wages are so high, it's much more cost-effective than the sticky matchboxes that can't be snatched. Such a good thing, after passing this village, there will be no such shop.

In this way, many neighbors followed Xie Xiaonian, and even Sun Hong took her two daughters-in-law to Xie Xiaonian's house to pick up the goods and study.

However, most people don't know how to embroider, and can only do the simplest head flowers without embroidery.

Like the kind with embroidery, although the embroidery is very simple and more cost-effective than doing other things, only Mrs. Chen and the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can do it.

Because it's not complicated to make, Xie Xiaonian also provides a teaching package, so after everyone learns it, they are very happy to take the materials home and do it.

However, Zhou Zhenhua didn't send a lot of materials today. Once everyone points, there isn't much left.

At noon the next day, when the neighbors in the East Yard heard about this and wanted to work with Xie Xiaonian, Xie Xiaonian had no materials in hand.

"I don't have any materials in my hand now, and the new materials will be delivered this afternoon. If you want to follow along, you can come back at night, and I will send you materials at that time. But if you are free now, you want to You can follow along first, but now that you have learned it, you can go back to get your hair done at night, so you don't need to waste time learning." Xie Xiaonian was very happy to see so many people want to follow her, so she said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I will learn from you now. Xiao Nian, I also want to do that kind of work with embroidery, but I don't know how to embroider, can you teach me, if I learn, I can earn more For the money, you can also make more embroidered haircuts." Jiang Caihua begged.

She stays at home all day long and has nothing to do. If she can learn how to make head flowers, then she will be able to have the same income as her husband in the future.

And this morning she went to Aunt Chen's house to see, just the simplest kind, you can make 30 a day, you can earn 9 cents, a month is 27 yuan, which is equivalent to the wages of a regular worker.

Moreover, she is younger than Aunt Chen, and her hands are faster than Aunt Chen. If she can make haircuts all day long, she will have no problem making 50 haircuts a day.

At that time, if she does other more complicated tasks, she will earn more money than going to work in a factory. At that time, her husband's salary will not be able to keep up with her.

"Okay, if you want to learn, I can teach you, but you have to practice on the cotton cloth first, and then you can operate on the hair flower after you learn it, so as not to damage the material. If the rest of you want to learn these simple embroidery , I can teach you too." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

Xie Xiaonian still agrees with Jiang Caihua's idea of ​​being able to resist the temptation and not directly start working to earn money, but to learn first.
