When he arrived at the ready-to-wear market, Song Xiaoyu knew that there were many people, all the clothes on this street were sold, men's and women's clothing, all kinds of materials, all kinds of styles, the whole street, the flow of people was flowing like a tide, there were many people in each store, and the shops selling clothes were even a little too busy.

Song Xiaoyu heard the price discussed by those people, it was not cheap, like cotton clothes, a piece cost more than ten or twenty yuan, a complete set, and he might not be able to take it without fifty yuan, he couldn't help but pull the corner of Song Tao's clothes and said, "Otherwise, or we won't buy it, it's very expensive." ”

"Hehe, you don't know this! These clothes are produced by our garment factory in Weinan, the whole Datang, and the ready-to-wear on this street is the cheapest, why do you think there are so many people here! Many surrounding counties, and even garment stores outside Guanzhong, have to get goods here, I have acquaintances here, otherwise there are fewer to buy, and people are not rare to sell! ”

"That's it, it's cheap?"

"Of course, this kind of cotton cloth is very comfortable to wear, and the Hu merchants have to buy tens of thousands of cotton fabrics from the textile factory every year! The farmers planted cotton, sold it to the textile factory to get seeds, woven it into cloth, dyed it in the dyeing factory, and then went to the garment factory to make clothes. ”

Song Tao walked into a shop while explaining, and said to a little girl who sold clothes, "Sanniang, I have a fellow villager who just came from Yuezhou, you look at his figure, take him two sets of shirts and pants to try, underwear and underwear!" I first went to the leather store to buy him belts and shoes, and then came back to pay for them. ”

"Cut, I'm afraid that your dignified Director Song won't be able to run away, but ah! You men are careless, you want to buy shoes for this brother, do you know his size? In the store, the young girl dressed as a salesman saw Song Tao come in, her face was happy, and her eyes were charming.

"Yo, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten, Xiaoyu, what size shoes do you wear?"

"How big is it?" Song Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this question.

"People who have just come from home, where do they know what size, I will take a ruler and measure him."

As the girl spoke, she took a ruler and gestured on Song Xiaoyu's stinky straw sandals, and said, "Thirty-eight yards." ”

Song Xiaoyu shrank his feet a little embarrassed, but Song Tao patted him on the shoulder generously and said, "Don't be embarrassed, try on clothes, try on shoes, it's normal, her name is Xu Sanniang, she is my friend, just listen to her arrangement, I'll go to the leather store on the next street first, the tricycle at the intersection is still waiting!" ”

"Phase, phase, uh, okay!"

"Go, go, who's your friend!" Xu Sanniang seemed to be very annoyed, but on her face, there was a shy shout, and the other waitresses in the same store suddenly giggled.

Song Tao smiled and walked out of the store quickly, and habitually obeyed Song Tao's arrangement Song Xiaoyu was pushed into a very small room by Xu Sanniang, a few pieces of clothes, handed to him by Xu Sanniang, and simply taught him how to wear, obviously, Xu Sanniang has seen a lot of people like him who come to the ready-to-wear store for the first time to buy clothes.

After a while, Song Xiaoyu's clothes were put on, this cotton fabric was the softest fabric he had ever touched, the kind of close-fitting and warm feeling was much more comfortable than the burlap clothes he wore before.

It's the kind of long shirt that needs to be buttoned, he tossed it twice before buttoning the buttons against the buttonholes, but the pants are of appropriate length, but the waist is a little too loose, his body is thin, and he always falls down after wearing it, and he wanted to tell Xu Sanniang that the pants are not suitable, as long as he wants to tie a trouser belt, but Xu Sanniang told him that it would be good to tie the belt immediately.

Sure enough, before Xu Sanniang finished speaking, Song Tao twisted a burlap bag containing two pairs of shoes, walked in from outside the door with a belt, handed the belt to him, and said, "Put it on the buckle of the pants, put the belt buckle in the middle of the belly, and the tongue of the belt is threaded through the button, there is a movable bayonet on it, you can fasten it by moving it back a little, but I only bought you a belt with an iron buckle, and when you earn your own money, you can go to change the copper buckle and the silver buckle." ”

"What are you doing with that money?"

Song Xiaoyu did what Song Tao said, and glanced at Song Tao's waist, and saw a silver belt buckle, carved with patterns, very beautiful, it is estimated that there are at least two or three doubles, not counting the cost of production, just these silvers are worth two or three dollars.

At this time, Song Tao had already spoken to Xu Sanniang, "Today's guest at home, I will go to the vegetable market to buy some good vegetables, you come over to help me take care of it, and eat a good meal at home by the way." ”

"It depends on whether my second sister has time, I don't dare to go alone."

Although Xu Sanniang's mouth was a little delayed, but her face was full of joy, Song Tao listened, and knew that she would come tonight, so he pulled Song Xiaoyu, waved his hand at her, and quickly walked to the tricycle waiting at the intersection of the garment market, took the tricycle, and soon they arrived at the area of rows of high-rise buildings, Song Xiaoyu had never seen such a tall house, as if the city wall had been hollowed out.

Soon, Song Tao took him to the door of a building, and after removing the bag from the car, he gave the man who was riding the car an extra two pennies, which meant that he had just waited for a while and delayed a little time, and then the two walked up the stairs together with their bags.

Song Tao is also a middle-level leader of the shipyard, managing more than 1,000 people, with a monthly salary of more than 20 yuan, as well as year-end benefit bonuses, as well as various annual benefits, adding up, the annual income is almost more than 300 yuan, and after more than two years of work, his savings have already exceeded 500 yuan.

Therefore, he directly bought a well-decorated three-bedroom apartment, and it was on the fifth floor along the side of the road, the perspective was very good, and when he took the key to open the door, Song Xiaoyu suddenly felt that he had entered another world, and everything in the house was too delicate for him.

"There is water on the carbon stove, you put water in the bathtub, warm it up, put the flower water, remove the dirty soap, soak it well, put on new clothes after soaking, there are cotton socks in the drawer, you wear new ones, there are slippers in the shoe cabinet at the door, and you only wear the leather shoes I just bought for you when you go out, and they are all put in the shoe cabinet······"

Song Tao didn't have time to take him to visit his new house carefully, and soon taught him how to use the bathing device, and then went downstairs to buy vegetables.

That kind of fragrant thing, Song Tao poured a lot into the white porcelain bathtub, after soaking in the bath, Song Xiaoyu never felt so clean, and his skin was fragrant, he just soaked a jar of water cold, before he came out of the bathtub, took a white towel to dry his body, and put new water to wash the bathtub, after putting on the new cotton clothes, he felt comfortable all over, and then looked at the burlap clothes he originally brought, he really didn't want to wear it back.

Then, he visited the living room, and then went to the wide balcony, where as far as the eye could see, it was full of houses and people, and it was a truly magical place.

It didn't take long for Song Tao to come back from outside with a big bag of small bags, the meat was vegetarian, raw, cooked, there were more than ten kinds of ingredients, and then, Song Tao took care of the ingredients preliminarily, while explaining everything to Song Xiaoyu in Weinan, and soon, he knew why Song Tao bought him clothes as soon as he came, because two days later, the job fair of the shipyard, the governor of Anbei and the prince of the agricultural country, Sun Zhengming, would personally inspect the site.

In fact, since the establishment of Datang Exploration Co., Ltd., Sun Zhengming has spent most of his time in Weinan, because the training of talents can not be completed in one or two days, but technical research and equipment manufacturing must start from now on.

If Song Xiaoyu can be appreciated by Sun Zhengming at the recruitment conference two days later and become the core training technician of the shipyard, his future achievements may be able to surpass him, after all, he is seven or eight years younger than himself.

At dinner, Xu Sanniang and her sister Xu Erniang came to Song Tao's house together, and under the busy work of their sisters, Song Xiaoyu soon let Song Xiaoyu eat the most sumptuous and delicious meal in his life, and then, he finally knew why Song Tao didn't see Xu Sanniang, and he also knew what it meant to be good.

It turned out that they were waiting for Xu Erniang to get married, and then they got married, and the people who worked in Weinan were usually men and women who looked at each other and directly asked for a matchmaker to come to the door to propose, like Song Tao, a bachelor who can achieve the middle-level leadership level in a large factory, almost no one will refuse.

A senior technical worker like him has been able to obtain the status of a first-class citizen, and he can basically pass the engineering examination, and he can basically pass the internship as an official, and he can also get a good evaluation, and it is naturally not a problem to be an official, but at his level, he no longer needs to take the engineering examination, and the factory will directly report to the imperial court.

In the end, Song Tao told Song Xiaoyu that it is not so difficult to earn something like what he has now in Weinan, as long as he is willing to work hard and study hard, after two or three years, all of them will be there, and he must cherish the opportunity two days later.

A dinner was very happy, the spring bed made Song Xiaoyu sleep very comfortably, and had a beautiful dream, and then two days later, Song Tao went to work, but gave him a lot of things for him to recognize, let him learn, when he was in the village before, Song Tao only taught him how to concoct wood, do manual work, now, actually taught him to recognize a special ruler, recognize the numbers on the tool, and some simple Chinese characters, every day when he came back from work, he also taught him two hours by hand, but forcibly instilled some new knowledge in him.

Then, finally came to the day of the shipyard job fair, Song Xiaoyu was dressed very energetically under the guidance of Song Tao, and early in the morning, he followed Song Tao to the super-large vacant dock area next to the Wei River.

There are many applicants, as many as one or two thousand, Song Xiaoyu feels that he is under a lot of pressure, because Song Tao's expectation for him is not just to enter the shipyard, but to want him to enter the technical training department of the shipyard and become the core technical personnel of the shipyard in the future.

Not long after, a very energetic young man walked into this workshop under the support of everyone, and suddenly, Song Xiaoyu saw Song Tao and the slightly eager eyes of many people in the field, he knew that this person must be the big man Sun Zhengming in their mouths.

It's a pity that after Sun Zhengming saw the number of people in the workshop, he actually said with an unhappy expression, "There are so few people, it means that the conditions we have opened are not good enough, the welfare benefits continue to increase, and the publicity efforts must also be strengthened, and the number of shipwrights must be more than doubled within this year." ”
