Chapter 623: Let's Do It Together
"Xiao Nian, come to the door, why didn't you bring the children with you?" When Aunt Chen saw Xie Xiaonian coming over, she thought she was here to visit the door, so she greeted with a smile.
"I came here today to have something to do, so I didn't take them with me." Xie Xiaonian smiled and continued.
Then she sat down on the chair next to Aunt Chen.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Chen asked suspiciously.
"That's it, what's the matter? Tell us about it, why are you still holding a needlework dustpan, now it's almost dark, and you can't see it, and you haven't turned on the light, and you still do needlework, and you don't stop, it's really a hard life. Sun Hong, who was sitting on the side, pouted and asked.
"How do you speak, Xiao Nian is called hard work, what is hard work? Isn't it right to be industrious? Seeing Sun Hong like this, Aunt Chen immediately helped.
"I didn't say that there was anything wrong with being industrious, I just wanted Xiao Nian to rest."
In this most glorious era of labor, she didn't dare to say that hard work was bad.
"Xiao Nian, what are you going to do? Then he said, leave her alone. Aunt Chen also ignored Sun Hong next to her, and turned her head to Xie Xiaonian and said.
"That's the case, aunt, my friend needs to process a batch of head flowers, he saw that I can embroider, needlework is also good, so I asked him to help him process, but the amount to be processed is too large, I can't be busy at all, I remember embroidery, the craft is also very good, I want to ask if I want to do it together, save this money for strangers to earn." Xie Xiaonian said directly.
She said to Aunt Chen directly in the courtyard that there was also a purpose, so that when other people heard that there was money to be made, they would definitely want to join.
When the time comes, it will be they who will beg themselves, not themselves, so that they will not have to make trouble for themselves in the future.
"Yes, yes, but I'm old and I don't know if I can do it well." Aunt Chen said hesitantly.
"The eyes are not dazzling and the ears are not deaf, how can they be considered old, and this thing is very easy to do, just look at it."
After speaking, Xie Xiaonian took away the covered towel and handed the completed and unfinished hair flowers inside to Aunt Chen.
Later, she also made a few and showed them to Aunt Chen.
"It turns out that the head flower does this, which is not difficult." Aunt Chen studied it carefully, and saw that it was indeed not too difficult for Xie Xiaonian to do it, and some of them didn't need to work hard at all, as long as they used a needle to string a few times at will, they could do it well. Just said in the affirmative.
"yes, after working for a long time, I said it must be difficult. Like this small, relatively simple, the manual fee is one to give three points, this medium, one to give 5 points, like this large, without embroidery is 8 points, with embroidery one to a dime and a half, as long as it is done well, there are no flaws, just give cash. Xie Xiaonian introduced.
At first, the people around just looked at it curiously, and didn't interject, for fear that Xie Xiaonian would ask them to help with day work.
But when I heard that there was a salary, and the salary was not low, a little daughter-in-law immediately couldn't help but say, "Xiao Nian, do you want anyone else?" Can I do the same, although I don't know how to embroider, but I do very good needlework. ”
"Yes, but you have to ensure that you must do a good job, you can't break it, you have to rework if you don't do it well, and you have to pay a deposit of one dollar in advance, and you will give a deposit slip when the time comes. However, if the material is damaged, it will be deducted from the salary first, and if the salary is not enough, it will be deducted from the deposit. Xie Xiaonian said first.
"No problem, I just looked at it, just a few stitches, I can do it, if you don't feel at ease, you can teach me a few simple ones first, I'll do it first, if I can't do it well, I don't need to open my mouth, I'm embarrassed to do it again." The little daughter-in-law said reassuringly.
"But don't you have to go to work? Do you have that time to do it? Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.
"Yes, yes, after I get off work at noon and at night, I have free time, and I promise that I will not delay the delivery." The little daughter-in-law hurriedly said happily.
"Okay, then come with me to my house later, get some simple materials back first, and try it out. However, if I give me a few head flowers, I have to hand over a few head flowers, and I can't damage them and seize them privately, otherwise, I will have to deduct money according to the cost, and one cost is a dime. ”
"Okay, no problem." The little daughter-in-law responded cheerfully.
"Xiao Nian, I'm also very good at needlework, so I'll do it too."
"Xiao Nian, there's still me, there's still me, you can't forget me."
Seeing that there was money to be made, other women who were enjoying the shade said one after another.
Whether they work or not, they have some free time every day, and if they can use this time to make money for their first flowers, the life of the family will be better, so all the women and big girls are very active.
"Okay, as long as you agree to the rules I just said, you can follow me to the house to get the work later." Xie Xiaonian saw that he had achieved the effect he wanted, so he smiled and continued.
"This is speculation, what should we do if we are arrested when the time comes?" Sun Hong saw that everyone was surrounding Xie Xiaonian and begging her to give her a job, and she was a little unhappy, so she couldn't help but tear down the stage.
"Of course, it's not speculation, we're just making a manual fee, we're making money with labor, and it's a reason to paste matchboxes for the factory at ordinary times." Xie Xiaonian saw that the people around him listened to Sun Hong's words and retreated a little, so he hurriedly answered.
"That's it, let's just make a manual fee, and it's not a business, how can it be considered speculation, if you are afraid and don't want to do it, then forget it, Xiao Nian, I'll do it, and I'll go home to get some materials back, anyway, I have nothing to do every day except for laundry and cooking, and I can also subsidize the family by making some head flowers." Just like now, while enjoying the shade, you can also make money while doing hair flowers, such a good thing, where to find it! Aunt Chen said helpfully.
"Auntie is right, if you have concerns, you can not do it. My friend just saw that I was idle at home, so I found these jobs, and I also saw that Aunt Chen didn't have much to do, so I thought that Aunt Chen also had a way to make money, so I found it, if you are willing to earn a pocket money, just follow it, if you don't want to, forget it, after all, there are so many people in the capital, my friend wants to find a few people to help with the work, it is still very easy. Xie Xiaonian said half-truthfully.
"No worries, no worries, Xiao Nian, I'll do it, thanks to our friends, we can have this way to make money and subsidize the family, otherwise, there is no place to find such a good thing." The little daughter-in-law who spoke at the beginning hurriedly answered.
"That is, we will also do it, the law does not blame the public, everyone will follow suit, and nothing will happen."
"I'm also doing it, I've been pasting matchboxes all day long, and I haven't seen any accidents, so this will definitely be fine."
After listening to this, the others felt that what Xie Xiaonian said was right, they were making money with their labor, not stealing shortcuts, and it was not speculation.
And the salary is so high, it's much more cost-effective than the pasted matchbox that can't be grabbed, such a good thing, after 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 receive goods and study.
However, most people don't know how to embroider, so they can only make the simplest and no embroidery head flowers.
Like that kind of embroidery, although the embroidery is very simple, it is more cost-effective than doing others, but only a pair of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Chen family can do it.
Because it's not complicated to do, Xie Xiaonian also taught the Baohui, so after everyone learned it, they happily took the materials home to do it.
However, there are not many materials sent by Zhou Zhenhua today, and there is not much left for everyone to score.
At noon the next day, when the neighbors in the east courtyard heard about this incident and came to work with Xie Xiaonian, Xie Xiaonian had no materials in his hand.
"I don't have any materials in my hand now, and the new materials will not be delivered this afternoon, if you want to follow along, come back in the evening, and I'll send you materials then." But if you have time now, you can learn it if you want to follow along, and now that you have learned, you can go back to make hair flowers directly in the evening, and you don't have to waste time learning. Xie Xiaonian was very happy when he saw that so many people were going to follow the head flower, so he said with a smile.
"Okay, well, I'll follow it now. Xiao Nian, I also want to do that kind of work with embroidery, but I don't know embroidery, can you teach me, if I learn, I can earn more money, and I can make more embroidered head flowers. Jiang Cauliflower said pleadingly.
She has nothing to do at home all day long, if she can learn to make hair 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, doing 30 a day, you can earn 9 cents, a month is 27 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of a regular worker.
And she is younger than Mrs. Chen, and she is faster than Mrs. Chen, if she can do hair flowers all day long, there is no problem in making 50 a day.
When the time comes, if she does something more complicated, it will be more profitable than going to work in a factory, and her husband's salary will not be able to catch up with her.
"Okay, if you want to learn, I can teach, but you have to practice on cotton cloth first, and then you can operate on the head flower, which saves you from breaking the material. If anyone else wants to learn these simple embroideries, I can teach them too. Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.
Xie Xiaonian still agrees with the idea that Jiang Cauliflower can resist the temptation and not start working directly to make money, but thinking about learning first.
