He Wei, who had just arrived in Chonglin, sneezed three loud sneezes in a row.

"It can't be a cold, right?" He Qingdong ******** her, "It's windy by the lake, wear more clothes." ”

He Wei sniffed: "I don't feel cold, why do you sneeze so much." However, Major General He was so considerate, she was not embarrassed to refuse, and accepted his coat playfully.

After finding a three-star hotel with a good reputation by the most famous crab lake in Chonglin, the group began a delicious journey of blue crab.

Xu has just experienced a serious natural disaster, and Chonglin is quite enthusiastic about foreign tourists, and I wish you would treat this place as your home and live here every day for consumption.

Chonglin is local, and the price of blue crabs is not cheap, at least that's what He Mu thinks. More than 100 pounds, the pike crabs at the fishing dock can eat four or five pounds. But at this price, Shuhai City or other cities are only enough to buy a blue crab that is not very fat, but you can eat five or six here, and only fat flowing oil.

Mother He snorted on the head of her son, who was eating happily: "The price of crabs is more than the price, why don't you talk about the cost of oil and the hotel fee?" These add up, five or six hundred and one pounds can't be beaten. ”

"Oh Mom, this is a self-driving tour, a kind of tourism, not just eating crabs, but also enjoying the scenery, you see how beautiful the lake scenery is, how fresh the air is." If you have time, you can also go to visit the department store in Chonglin, it is said that after the typhoon, it has been engaged in promotion, maybe the Qing market sells three or four hundred autumn shirts, only one or two hundred here, buy a few more pieces will not return the fuel cost? ”

When He Mu heard this, she immediately said that after lunch, she would go to visit Chonglin's department store.

Xu Huixiang and Li Mingyue smiled and said together, and Sister Fu, who was not dragged down by her grandson, was also tempted by the word promotion.

So, the afternoon itinerary was divided into three groups: one group was the women's group headed by Hemu; One is the couple group of He Wei and the couple - carrying the souvenirs prepared in advance, planning to go to the house of Zhou Ruolei, a representative of the ten difficult families; The rest of the people were all members of the lake tour group, including the two elders of the He family, including the pregnant old Wu daughter-in-law, all of whom were in a good mood to follow everyone and stop and go. After the end, two hand-rowed boats were rented to see who rowed fast, and the losing team invited everyone to eat a crab feast in the evening.

He Wei and the two followed the address left by Zhou Ruolei on the envelope, asked a few passers-by, and finally found her home.

The typhoon destroyed Zhou Ruolei's original home, and now the family of three lives in low-rent housing provided by the government along with other poor households. The so-called low-rent housing, as the name suggests, has a very low rent, but relatively low-cost housing.

With a total area of less than 20 square meters, it is divided into three rooms, one for the mother and daughter, one for Zhou Ruolei's brother who is in college, and the other for the kitchen and dining room. The washroom is shared by residents on the first floor.

When He Wei stepped into the courtyard door of the low-rent house, Zhou Ruolei was playing with a few friends in the building: "Small leather balls, kicks, Ma Lan blossomed twenty-one; 256, 257, 282931......"

Seeing He Wei and He Qingdong, who were dressed completely different from the low-rent housing residents, Zhou Ruolei blinked her big eyes and stopped curiously and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

When Zhou Ruolei received the letter from He Wei, she ran around the building excitedly with a letterhead, grabbed her little friend and said:

"Look! Helped our family's big sister write to me! ”

"Big sister also said that Eleven is coming to see me."

"What do you think I'm going to give her? A thousand paper cranes? Or the lucky star? ”

In the end, Zhou Ruolei spent a month stacking three colored lucky stars in glass jars.

The glass jar is a rice wine jar turned out at home, with a large bottom and a small bottle mouth, and a lucky star made of three pieces of glossy colored paper for a dollar, and then stuffed with a wooden red wine bottle stopper, tied with a hemp rope knot skillfully woven by her mother, and immediately transformed into a decent gift.

Approaching eleven, she wiped and wiped the three glass jars, dusted and dusted them, and when the neighbors saw this, they couldn't help but say to Zhou's mother: "Your Leilei is a demon, can people believe it if they wander casually?" You too, don't persuade your Lei Lei to look away, and help her toss blindly. If people don't come, let's see how disappointed she is......"

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "If the child loves to toss, she will go with her." It's not a valuable thing. It's okay if you don't come, Lei Lei said, find a courier and send it over then. ”

When the neighbor saw that both mother and daughter were like this, he pouted and shook his head, indicating that he could not understand. I thought to myself: Wait, see if anyone comes to see you during the eleventh day.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of the 11th long holiday, He Wei really fulfilled her promise and came to the door, carrying a gift box in her hand, with Kyoto's specialties and snacks from Qingshi.

Zhou Ruolei was so excited that her little face flushed, and she welcomed people to her house with her hands and feet, and shouted into the house with her voice: "Mom! Mother! Sister Xiaohe came to see us! ”

Zhou's mother came out of the back room in surprise, holding her apron with both hands, and spoke incoherently, not as calm as her daughter. Nervously chatted with He Wei for a few words, and was busy in the kitchen, soaking in soup and boiling eggs.

Zhou Ruolei carefully took out the three cans of lucky stars and presented them to He Wei as if they were offering treasures.

He Wei didn't refuse, and also took out a set of exquisite diaries from her bag, as well as a durable fountain pen and gave it to Zhou Ruolei. The little girl's eyes turned red with excitement.

Mother Zhou served the soft-hearted eggs, and said gratefully and embarrassedly: "There is nothing at home to thank you, so the child folded a few jars of stars, saying that it can bless people with safety and luck." Look at you, I helped solve the tuition problem of the two children last time, and this time I came to spend so much, I really don't know how to thank you......"

He Wei shook her head, smiled and relieved, and then changed the topic and asked, "Is Lei Lei's school far from home?" Do I need to pick up and drop off at school? ”

Zhou's mother wiped the moistness from the corners of her eyes, and replied truthfully: "Not far away, next to the low-rent house, she and the children in the building go to and from school, Lei Lei and her brother went to Kyoto to study, usually just our mother, I rented a stall at the nearby farmers' market to sew for people, I have to go out at five o'clock in the morning, but there is time in the afternoon, pick up some manual work at home is a little ......"

As Zhou's mother spoke, the conversation box opened, and she picked up the needlework on the table and started to do it.

He Wei saw her movements quickly, and asked casually: "My aunt used to be a tailor?" ”

"Yes, when I was young, I worked with the old tailor in the village for a few years, but now these days, few people like to buy cloth and find a tailor to do, and the tailor shop business in the city is also so-so......

He Wei's heart moved, didn't the second sister find a few tailors to make clothes for the elderly and children in the welfare home, but the tailors in Kyoto not only had high prices, but also had an arrogant attitude, and the second sister said that they were going to fire them.

If you find a skillful housewife with family difficulties like Zhou's mother to do it, you can also help them, which is great. It's a pity that the road is really far, so I can't send the fabric over, and report everyone's size, and send it back when Zhou's mother is ready? Eighty percent of the courier fees consumed by this back and forth can buy a new set of clothes for the children to wear.

He Qingdong saw through He Wei's tangled thoughts, pinched the back of her hand and proposed: "You can hire someone to go to the welfare home." ”

He Wei glanced at him: "To put it lightly, so many people's clothes, even if the style is simple, if she is alone, she won't be able to finish it in a month, right?" What should I do if I stay alone? ”

He Qingdong smiled, this is also a problem, but he raised his head and asked Zhou's mother directly, saying that the Kyoto Welfare Institute hired a tailor to make sportswear, and asked her if she would like to take this job.

Of course Zhou's mother was willing, but considering her daughter, she shook her head, it was too far.

Zhou Ruolei said: "Mom, don't you worry, isn't it just a month, then I will let Yunyun sleep with me, or I will sleep at Yunyun's house, and come back during the day to see, anyway, our family has nothing valuable, what is there to worry about." ”

Zhou's mother scolded with a smile: "I'm worried about things, I don't care about you." ”

"I don't have anything to worry about, I'm grown up, I'll cook my own meals, do my laundry, go to and from school, you can go with confidence. And my brother is in Kyoto, so it's nice to have time to go to his school. If I didn't have to go to school, I would have wanted to go. ”

In this way, Zhou's mother decided to go to Kyoto to make clothes. The time is as short as half a month, as long as a month, and the salary is calculated according to the previous calculation for the tailor in Kyoto: 25 yuan for each set of sportswear and 10 yuan for cotton T-shirts. It's much stronger than setting up a stall at a farmer's market to sew people up. And there is basically no cost for food and accommodation in the welfare home.

Before He Wei left, she agreed with Zhou's mother that if there were other people who knew tailoring and sewing like her and were willing to go to Kyoto to do work together, they would wait at 9 o'clock in the morning on the 5th, at the entrance of the expressway in Chonglin. A car will pick them up and take them to Kyoto.

He Qingdong planned to let Lao Wu drive to Kyoto, bring a few people when he went, and come back to pull some chicken, duck eggs and rice noodles produced by the farm to honor his mother-in-law.

I didn't expect to come to Chonglin to eat blue crab and get a serious job, He Wei On the way back to Crab Lake, he held his mobile phone and reported the results with his two godsisters.

Tang Baoyin suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Good job!" It's better to recruit a few more Aunt Zhou, then I'll go tomorrow and quit those tailors who don't work hard, what the hell, we can't find anyone else, talk about prices every day, and I'm annoyed by them......"

Lu Yanjin also said: "Yes! Even if you can't recruit more people, Aunt Zhou doesn't care about any of them, first do it for a few children who smoke strips, and take your time for others, those few tailors should resign, they don't have to work hard, their attitude is poor, they are picky about the east and the west all day long, and the dean's mother has come to say it several times. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, this will quit them, the wages will be settled clearly according to the working hours, and the fabric in their hands will be returned to me without an inch!"

He Wei couldn't cry or laugh: "Then what if Aunt Zhou temporarily changed her mind and said that she didn't want to go?" Let's wait for the fifth. ”

"What are you afraid of! I didn't expect it before, little sister, you said this, my mind opened, there is no suitable tailor in Kyoto, so look around, there are so many people in Dahuaxia, I don't believe that except for those lazy goods, no one wants to come to the welfare home to make clothes. ”

Tang Baoyin did what she said, and after talking to her little sister on the phone, she drove to the welfare home. Originally, I had to rush to make clothes during the eleventh day, because after October, the weather was cold and cold, and the progress had to be accelerated. As a result, when I went to the welfare home, none of the tailors were working, and this one said that there was something temporary, and the other said that there was a visitor at home.

Tang Baoyin was angry, dialed one phone call after another, and directly resigned the person.

asked the dean's mother to check the inventory fabrics, except for a tailor who received five sets of sportswear fabrics, but only made four sets of clothes, and one set was probably stolen home by her, Tang Baoyin sneered: "Ming'er, she will settle the bill and deduct the cost of a set of clothes." If you don't work hard, you still cheat and cheat, and I'm wronged. ”

Tang Baoyin's action finally made the tailors realize that the situation was not good.

Originally, they could make clothes, and after investigation, in the whole of Kyoto, except for those high-end designers who specialize in customization, there are only a few tailors with ordinary prices left, and only the owner has always looked at their faces, and they have not been slapped in the face like this, and they are ashamed and angry for a while.

"I said that the surname Tang must want to give us a dismissal, who let us not listen to her, obediently make clothes in the welfare home, and wait for tomorrow, if we ignore her, she will definitely come back to us again, when the time comes, I don't believe it is still the old price." The eldest of the men, the seamstress, said. At the beginning, he also picked the head, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money, saying that the welfare home is funded by the government, and the money for clothes must also be paid by the government. The others just followed.

"I think it's better to go back and ask." The seamstress, who is nearly forty years old, said hesitantly, "The area where I live is not far from the head office of Yuxiuge, and the rich people in the vicinity are all on Yuxiuge to order, and those who don't have money won't come to me to do it, so they all go to the stall to buy......

"Women are just timid." The male tailor sneered disdainfully, "The girl surnamed Tang is not a social worker in a welfare home, and she will be dismissed when she says she will be dismissed?" Dean Ren hasn't spoken yet. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask the dean, maybe you are looking forward to us going back, give her a step down, and at the original price increase of five yuan, we will start work immediately. ”

However, the truth is that they do whatever they want. The dismissal was a sure thing, and the dean's mother settled the wages of the previous few days with them according to Tang Baoyin's instructions, and when she settled with the middle-aged seamstress, she also deducted a set of sportswear fabrics.

The seamstress was faceless, and went home red-faced.

"Mom? Why did you come back so early today? Zhao Huimin heard the movement coming from the door and poked her head out of the back room.

"Minmin, my mother was dismissed from the welfare institute." The woman covered her face and cried.

"How can you be dismissed? Didn't you say that life in a welfare home was not difficult at all? It's so much simpler than the tracksuit you made for me at home, how can I still fire you? No way! I'll go to them for theories! Zhao Huimin said angrily when she heard this. (To be continued.) )
