When the wholesale market sweeps the tail goods or grabs the goods, it is not uncommon to have a little flaw in the clothes, nail a button, change a zipper, as long as it is matched, it may not be better than the original.

Jiang Ma did all this work before, and she didn't care if she stayed up late.

At this time, she took out seven or eight clothes and pants that the guests wanted to change, or needed to change buttons and zippers......

As for buttons, zippers and the like, they are naturally attached, otherwise Tang Yue will not even have enough capital for one dime or five cents.

"Girl, then you can pick a time to come once a day, or the guest is in a hurry, and you are not afraid to run, I will directly point to you, anyway, it's close, right? As long as my business is not too bad, there will always be a few pieces a day...... Money, aunt according to the cost of labor is different, a piece of two cents, three cents, every day for you. ”

Jiang's mother is kind and kind, and the key is that she is suddenly generous.

This is not right, you must know that she herself used to earn three or four yuan a day in the collective factory, and the concept of money has long been fixed.

Dead picking.

Tang Yue had already stood up, and waved his hand a little panicked at the moment and said, "Auntie, you gave too much, really." ”

"What's more? It's not every day that there are so many clothes to be repaired and changed, you always have to eat. Mother Jiang stuffed the clothes into Tang Yue's arms without saying anything, and said, "Don't say much, your craftsmanship is good, and I still earn a reputation in the store." ”

Probably this is called charcoal in the snow......

When Tang Yue turned around, his eyes were already a little red.

Holding her clothes, she didn't have hands, she lowered her head and rubbed the tip of her nose on her arm, turned her head to say goodbye to Jiang's mother, and nodded to Jiang Che to say hello.

Later, Jiang Che saw that she was holding a pile of dirty clothes in the small restaurant, not afraid of all kinds of eyes, dignified, and went back across the street.

"Mom, when have you been so generous?" the mother and son continued to eat, and Jiang Che asked casually.

"It makes people shed tears when they say it", Jiang's mother took a piece of meat and put it down, sighing very "worried about the country and the people" and said, "Do you know what I saw when I went to the vegetable market in the past few mornings?"

"What?"

"I saw a crowd of dozens of people hanging empty in the market, and at first I didn't know what they were doing, but then I saw the vegetable vendors throwing rotten leaves on the ground that they couldn't sell...... They secretly picked it up. Sometimes when we buy vegetables and peel a few leaves that we don't want, they also take them. Later, I found out that these were all laid-off workers from the nearby No. 2 textile factory, and I heard them say that nearly 1,000 people were laid off in that factory, and some of them were laid off at home, and there was still food to eat. Jiang's mother's eyes were red as she spoke.

Tang Yue's family is alone, her younger brother, because she is not down-to-earth, she should be regarded as a burden.

Jiang Che believed that what his mother said was the truth, because he had seen a documentary report on this in his previous life, the laid-off couple who fell ill and died because they had been eating chicken feed for a long time, the half of the laid-off workshop that contracted XX disease because they went to the black blood bank to sell blood to live, and the father who committed suicide because he couldn't pay the child's surgery fee because he was laid off...... Too much, too much.

Later, there were always "elites" who would say that they were useless and deserved the opportunities that were everywhere in society at that time, but in fact, the "elites" forgot to consider the limitations of the times, and in exchange for the factories they grew up in at that time that were suddenly dilapidated all their lives, in fact, they may not be able to mix up calmly and confidently.

Of course, among the laid-off workers, there are actually quite a few who have relied on their vision, diligence, ability, and even luck to mix well.

Dad Jiang sat down after being busy, picked up the rice bowl, took over the topic and said:

"Your mother is thinking of herself and sympathizing with the same disease. ”

There is a radio in the store, every day to buy goods and take the car to find books and newspapers to read, carry the "Xinhua Dictionary" with me, Dad's cultural level is progressing rapidly, and idioms are at hand.

"Isn't it? If it weren't for the fact that I was smart, good-looking, and capable, I would have cheated them out of gambling for the 6,000 yuan, and I would have been laid off again...... Isn't our family also pitiful?" Jiang Ma said, with a look of fear.

Of course, Jiang Che and Jiang's father would not ask why there was [good-looking] in it.

Before the father and son could respond to her, Jiang's mother soon added another sentence: "Fortunately, I have a good life, I married a good man, and gave birth to a good son, so I have this day." ”

She said seriously and emotionally, Jiang Dad and Jiang Che couldn't help laughing, Mom's sex, when she said that she was causing chaos, she did cause chaos, but if she lived a stable life, it actually really added a lot of smiles and warmth to the family.

"Then this Tang girl, you have also seen it in the vegetable market? I said that you are such a picky person, why are you suddenly so reluctant. Jiang Che smiled and squeezed his mother again.

"There are so many people in the vegetable market that I can't see it clearly, probably because of her," Jiang's mother said, "but one day I saw a group of laid-off female workers going to pick up coal cores, and they were made up to make up songs and jokes, and then I saw her." Look at her clothes again, aren't they from that factory, I'm afraid that she is usually too diligent and thrifty to buy them, and she is laid off at this time, and she still has to wear them. ”

Jiang Che was taking a mouthful of food, and he couldn't speak well, so he casually responded "oh".

Dad Jiang was in a hurry to work and eat too fast, and was glared at by Jiang's mother, so he had to slow down, and then said:

"Let's help one count one, after all, it's the key that she has this craft herself. I heard here that it's not just the second textile factory, so many people are laid off, the state can't control it, and we can't help anyone. ”

"Actually, it's not like that", Jiang's mother said, "There are also bad people who are laid off, and I heard that it is not for nothing that they steal and rob...... But this little girl, I know that she must have a good character. ”

So "arbitrary"? Jiang Che was curious and asked, "Why?"

"She's so good-looking...... I've never seen a girl better than her in half my life...... Then if she is not a good girl who is strong and cherishes herself, she will not have to pick up vegetable leaves and coal cores at all, let alone stand in front of our store to open this mouth, and there are many people who are willing to make money for her. ”

Jiang's mother said it categorically.

Not to mention, it makes sense.

……

……

In the days that followed, from the peak of the opening period, the daily net profit of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's clothing store was about 200 to 300.

To wait until this curve goes up further, it probably takes time to accumulate, as well as the influence of factors such as seasons.

But this number is already unimaginable for the couple who had a total monthly income of 3 or 400 at the beginning of 92.

Now almost a month has passed, and they are content, but also dissatisfied, full of energy and motivation.

Jiang Che doesn't go to the store often, and when he goes a few times, he sometimes meets Tang Yue and says hello, sometimes he can't meet him, and he can't meet him, but it's a pity that he misses a glimpse of the scenery.

More things I heard from Jiang's mother's mouth, such as Tang Yue's craftsmanship is really good, no matter how she changes, she is careful to change, and she has earned a lot of reputation for the store, for example, she has taken a few more clothes from restaurants to change and wash, and she can make a stable living, but it is harder, and occasionally I see it a few times, she has soaked her hands in water and molted, and there are cracks.

In addition, there is no new work in the clothing store for the time being, because those old stores have basically already made an agreement with others.

The relationship between Tang Yue and Jiang's mother is very good now, and many times when she happens to meet Jiang's mother who is busy, she will stay and help watch the store for a while, never talking about remuneration.

At the same time, the streets are changing.

The number of people who came out to find food began to increase and increased, such as stalls, carts, rickshaws, shoe-shiners, candy-blowing entertainers, and even roadside jugglers selling medicines...... Many livelihoods that had almost disappeared or disappeared in the era of the planned economy have reappeared on the streets.

The people of this country will always live with the most tenacious attitude, as long as they are given even the slightest chance.
