Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 86

The drizzle fell on the car window, leaving a few meandering water marks. Zhang Xiuqing closed her eyes, and put the last concern behind her: Seeing each other is worse than not seeing each other. From now on, you will raise your son, and I will Live my life, everyone is safe and independent...

Shao Han gently held Zhang Xiuqing's hand, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief: This is the first and last time he brought Zhang Xiuqing to Hebei. From now on, he will never let Zhang Xiuqing see Xie Mingfei again. Days without interfering with each other, never seeing each other...

The road was uneven and the car was bumping violently. The driver asked in Mandarin with a local accent if anyone was motion sick.

Zhang Xiaosen asked stupidly: "What is motion sickness?"

The driver was about 40 years old, he could be called rich in experience and read countless people. He immediately saw that Zhang Xiaosen belonged to the kind of foolish boy who is easy to be fooled by others, so he deliberately teased him and said: " If a person drinks too much wine, he will get dizzy and walk swaying, and if a car is filled with too much gas, it will sway, this is called motion sickness..."

Zhang Xiaosen believed it was true, and he had a sudden realization expression on his face: "No wonder the car is so bumpy, it turns out that there is too much gas..." After speaking, he looked worried: "Then what should we do now? Can you pour some out?"

"This is a car, not a bottle. It can't be poured..." The driver tried his best to hold back his smile and asked, "Are you afraid of gasoline? If not, then forget it. If not, I have a way..."

Zhang Xiaosen: "What method?"

"Suck it out with your mouth, then spit it into a bottle, and pour it into the gas tank when you need it next time!"

"Ah? Oh! Hmm..." Zhang Xiaosen nodded, "I understand."

The driver had never seen such a deceitful young man before, and said with a smile, "Then I stepped on the brakes. When the car stops, you get out of the car and open the lid of the fuel tank to suck the oil out."

Everyone thought that Zhang Xiaosen would agree, but who knew, he shook his head: "I'm clumsy, I can't do anything, if I damage your car, I won't be able to pay for it if you kill me...or you can demonstrate it first, I'll see if it's difficult, if not, I'll try..."

Li Hongmei and the others who were listening couldn't help it anymore, they all laughed, even the driver couldn't help but smile.

But Zhang Xiaosen didn't understand what they were laughing at, his face was full of bewilderment, he scratched his head for a while, scratched his ears for a while, and everyone laughed even harder.

After finally the laughter stopped, Yu Fei explained to him what motion sickness is.Only then did Zhang Xiaosen understand that the driver was teasing him, and he wasn't angry, instead he showed a naive smile.

A group of people came to Xinji, known as China's leather capital, hungry.

At this time, the night was deep, and many restaurants and restaurants were closed. They walked on the street for nearly half an hour before they found a stall in a small alley, and while the cold night wind was blowing, they ate hot lamb. noodle soup.

After Zhang Xiuqing ate a few mouthfuls, she suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaosen was going to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, so she asked the boss to add another pot of braised mutton: "You can eat more meat while you can, and you may have to be a vegetarian often... "

Zhang Xiaosen couldn't help being moved in his heart, his nose was sour, and tears almost flowed down: "I, I don't want to go to Shaolin Temple... I want to follow you... I am strong, and I am willing to do any dirty or tiring work, even fighting Okay... I don't want a salary, I just need to take care of myself, can you accept me?"

Everyone looked at Shao Han in unison.

Lin Aqi and Wu Zhirong thought he would not agree, but Shao Han didn't even think about it, and agreed straight away: "Okay!"

Zhang Xiaosen was overjoyed immediately, so excited that he couldn't even speak, so he stood up, bowed deeply to Shao Han, and when he raised his head, his face was full of tears of joy.

Lin Aqi and Wu Zhirong couldn't believe their ears, one wiped their eyes vigorously, and the other plucked their ears vigorously, looking very funny.

Shen Jianhua and his wife looked at each other and exchanged glances.

After so many days of getting along, Yu Fei has already seen that Zhang Xiuqing treats Zhang Xiaosen like a younger brother, and Zhang Xiaosen also treats Zhang Xiuqing as a sister, otherwise, even if Zhang Xiaosen knelt down and begged for each other, Shao Han would never will take him.

No wonder some people say that stupid people have stupid blessings...

Yu Fei took a sneak peek at Zhang Xiuqing while no one was paying attention, and sure enough, he saw a look of joy and emotion on her face.What made her happy was that Zhang Xiaosen didn't have to leave his hometown anymore, and what moved her was Shao Han's love for her.

it is more than words.

After eating their stomachs full, Lin Aqi and Wu Zhirong wanted to test how strong Zhang Xiaosen was, and proposed to wrestle his arms.Zhang Xiaosen asked them to come together, the two of them exerted all their strength, but they still lost to Zhang Xiaosen.

Shen Jianhua also stepped forward to give it a try, this time one-on-one, it was easier for Zhang Xiaosen to win.

The owner of the stall was itching to see it, so he also compared it with Zhang Xiaosen, and the result was that he lost even more simply.

This boss is also a very interesting person. Not only did he not get angry when he lost the competition, he even gave Zhang Xiaosen a pair of sheepskin gloves.

Shen Jianhua is a person who likes to make friends, so he simply ordered a few bottles of beer and chatted with the boss while drinking.

After drinking a glass of beer, the boss gradually talked more and more. He called himself Shen Zhouhua, a 35-year-old native of Xinji.

"So we were one family 500 years ago..." Shen Jianhua immediately stood up and toasted the boss: "My name is Shen Jianhua, from J County, Jiangsu Province, and I am 31 years old this year."

When Shen Zhouhua heard this, he was very excited, and immediately called Shen Jianhua brothers.He also asked them if they came to buy leather, saying that he has acquaintances who can guarantee the price is cheap, and while talking, he patted his chest...

Drink until very late.

Early the next morning, Shen Zhouhua took them to the leather market.

Xinji is the largest town in Hebei Province, and also the largest fur distribution center and an important commercial port in history. The fur and leather industry began in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, with a very long history.But its fame is limited to some areas and people, and it is not as well-known as "Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below".

Compared with many of her peers, Zhang Xiuqing has a high level of education, but the first time she heard about this place was the little boss of the garment factory who had been harassing her in her previous life.

At the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, leather clothing was popular all over the country. Men, women and children wearing leather jackets could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Many businesses saw business opportunities and set up clothing factories one after another. In just a few years, manufacturers of leather clothing have sprung up. generally spread all over the country, and the garment factory where Zhang Xiuqing once stayed was even more spectacular.

The boss is a strict wife, and everything is subject to the boss's wife.

The proprietress was born in a rural area, and her family was poor when she was a child. She only went to school for one year, so she was basically illiterate.She claimed to be a very ordinary woman. Before she got married, she did farm work at her natal family, and after she got married, she did farm work at her husband's house. Before she was 30 years old, she didn't show any intelligence. She lived a mediocre life until her son entered elementary school.On that day, she took her son to Xinhua Bookstore to buy stationery, and bought a book "Self-taught Clothing Cutting Introduction" by accident.

Her husband has always obeyed his wife's orders, just pretending not to see it.The father-in-law and mother-in-law were very angry, saying that she wasted money by buying things randomly, and forced her to return the book to the bookstore.When she refused, her mother-in-law was furious. While yelling at her as a "prodigal", she started to rob her, almost performing a full-scale martial arts act.

The proprietress managed to keep the book.

Her mother-in-law was so angry that she spread bad words about her in the village, saying that she didn't know a few words, and that she couldn't eat or use such a thick book when she bought it, let alone use it as a pillow.

Many people in the village didn't understand, and pointed behind their backs, speaking in a very ugly way.

Her husband advised her to leave the matter alone and return the book.

She came up stubbornly and vowed to rely on her own efforts to teach herself to become an excellent tailor.Then she did what she said, and went to the street to buy special scissors, chalk, tape measure, hard ruler and other things that day.

In order to avoid waste, she bought a large stack of old newspapers from an old man who collected second-hand goods in the streets and alleys, and cut them at home like a madman all day long.A week later, she went to the street to buy a piece of fabric to make trousers for her son, which took ten days to finish.

Although she put in a lot of hard work, she still didn't do well. She was not discouraged and spent another day revising.

A month later, she made trousers for her husband, which also took ten days, but her mother-in-law still sneered at her and hit her hard.

Three months later, she made her own shirt in three days and pants in one day.The mother-in-law was very angry all day long when she saw her busy.Her mother was worried that her relationship with her parents-in-law would become more and more tense, and advised her that "it is a blessing to suffer". She gritted her teeth and made a shirt and a pair of trousers for each of them, and their attitude towards her was much better.

Half a year later, her clothes were made faster and better. First, relatives and friends came to her door with fabrics, then her neighbors, and then people from nearby villages.

A year later, she rented a storefront in the town and opened a tailor shop. She worked as both the boss and the waiter, going in the wind and the rain, and occasionally complaining to her husband when she was very tired.Since the shop was very profitable, her mother-in-law began to give her good looks.

Three years later, she opened a branch in the town with three assistants.Still no day, no night, very busy.Her father-in-law and mother-in-law no longer tell her what to do, and even take care of all the farm work at home.

Five years later, she rented a few vacant houses in the village and opened a small garment factory with eight employees. All holding her.

Ten years later, leather garments became very popular, and her garment factory got rid of small businesses. At its peak, there were more than 800 employees in the factory. It was the leading taxpayer in the province, and the leaders of relevant units praised her.

When Zhang Xiuqing entered the factory, leather jackets were out of date, and the business of the clothing factory was not as good as before. However, the lean camels were bigger than horses, and the wages were still higher than most enterprises.And to be honest, both the boss and the boss's wife are good people, only their son is not a thing. If he didn't keep harassing her, Zhang Xiuqing really didn't want to resign.

Some people say that the proprietress made her fortune by making leather jackets. In fact, this sentence is not entirely true. The proprietress did make a fortune by making leather jackets, but her most profitable business is not selling ready-made clothes, but selling leather.

As we all know, in that era, information was not smooth, there was no Du Niang, no Alibaba, it is no exaggeration to say that many people did not even know whether Hebei Province was in the east or west of China, let alone what Xinji was.But the proprietress did not know where to find out about Xinji, she went to buy goods in person, and kept it a secret.Many uninformed clothing factory owners wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they had to buy leather from her...

It is now 1984, leather clothing is not yet hot, it is a good time to copy the successful experience of the proprietress.Zhang Xiuqing explained the fashion trend in the next few years to Shao Han in detail. After discussing it, the two decided to divide the 5000 yuan into three parts. One part was used to buy sheepskin, one part was used to buy cowhide, and the other part was used to buy cotton.
