Previous life, Jiang Ning's whole family were cannon fodder in a novel about the protagonists' rise to fame and success, living as a contrasting background to them. Under the crushing press...
"Master, this way."
Jiang Ning parked the bicycle properly and directed the tricycle driver to reverse the vehicle towards her doorstep.
Lin Chen quickly came out of the house to help direct the operation.
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
I never expected my wife to secure the order so quickly; they even helped deliver the fabric.
After backing up the car, he quickly grabbed a towel to wipe Jiang Ning's sweat.
Jiang Ning brought over a chair for the master to sit down.
"Ah Chen, go get Master a glass of water."
After removing the one work uniform that was already made, the tricycle contained enough fabric and accessories to make forty-nine work uniforms.
Knowing that Jiang Ning was difficult to carry, Song Jia specially asked someone to have the factory send someone to deliver it.
After all the goods were unloaded, the driver took a pack of cigarettes and left with a smile.
Wang Xiufen then came out of the room. She was busy making clothes, but she was listening carefully to the sounds outside.
After finishing one garment, she came out to take a breather. Seeing the fabric gave her a sense of relief.
"Looks like I'll be busy for the next two weeks."
She used to be busy carrying water and working all day long; that's what you call tiring.
Now she makes clothes, sitting for a whole day, but she doesn't feel tired; it's as if she has inexhaustible energy.
"Ah Chen, please move these fabrics into the room and stack them neatly. Ning Ning, could you please sort these accessories and put them in the baskets?"
Wang Xiufen gave the instructions.
"Okay."
The couple spoke in unison.
After taking a sip of water, Wang Xiufen went back to making clothes. Lin Chen carried the clothes, and Jiang Ning began to organize the buttons, hem tape, and other accessories...
It feels so good to be busy with family.
Jiang Ning knows that the money she earns now is nothing compared to the money she makes from speculation, but she just feels that earning money this way is more fulfilling and makes her happier.
Just as they were busy, Luo Guangming arrived with several people, carrying over the custom-made furniture.
There is a wooden shelf for storing fabric, and several wooden boxes for storing accessories.
To Jiang Ning's surprise, there was also a bathtub.
The barrel, which is over a meter tall, was probably made of walnut wood and was coated with a layer of tung oil, making it shiny.
She was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
She is a clean person and likes to take a bath every day, but when the weather gets cool, it is very inconvenient to take a bath in a shallow foot basin.
With the bathtub, she can enjoy a nice bath.
While Luo Guangming was helping to move the bathtub into the room, Lin Chen whispered in her ear:
"You've done a great job today, I'm going to reward you properly tonight."
Jiang Ning's cheeks flushed instantly. She punched his chest playfully and said, "You're so annoying."
Regardless of whether there were outsiders present, he said such nonsensical things to her.
She's focused entirely on her career right now!
That evening, Lin Chen showed her through his actions that pursuing his career wouldn't stop him from pampering her.
For the next two weeks, everyone was very busy.
After the autumn harvest, the millet needs to be dried in the sun, and the impurities inside need to be removed with a winnowing fan. Then it is sorted, bagged, and ready to be delivered as public grain.
Wang Xiufen operates the sewing machine from morning till night.
Besides cooking and helping with other tasks, Jiang Ning spends her days receiving guests who come to visit.
Although they knew that someone was deliberately causing trouble by using Secretary Yi's name, they couldn't find out who it was, and few of those people placed orders; most were just observing.
After placing the order, Jiang Ning registered the items and took the measurements. As for picking up the finished garment, she would have to wait in line for about a month.
On the day of the agreed delivery, the tricycle driver, humming a little tune, came again.
He even brought several large plastic bags with him this time.
Since it's already a ready-made garment, we can't be careless; we must take good care of it.
After the inspection was completed, the inspector took out ten ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Ning.
"Goodbye, Jiang Zhiqing, all payment settled."
Before leaving, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Oh, right, this is what Accountant Song asked me to give to you."
Jiang Ning opened the bag and saw that it contained orders placed in the past two weeks, some fabric, and deposits paid.
She counted them; there were sixteen orders.
The deposit I received alone was over eighty yuan.
In other words, her income for today was over 180 yuan.
Ma Huijuan sat by the foot basin washing clothes, watching so much money end up in Jiang Ning's hands, and she was filled with resentment.
It's really unfair. We were both sent-down youths from the capital, so why are our fates so different?
She originally thought that without her family's financial support, her glory wouldn't last long, but unexpectedly, her prestige in the village is growing, and she is earning more and more money.
No, she had to go see Yi Yong again; the commune had to give her an explanation!
Looking up, she found Yi Yong and Liu Fang in the courtyard.
Overjoyed, she quickly rubbed her hands on her clothes, preparing to get up and greet him...
To everyone's surprise, the person walked towards Jiang Ning and the others with a smile.
"Jiang Zhiqing, business is doing well. Even businesses from the county town are coming to you," he said in a loud voice.
Jiang Ning smiled:
"Secretary Yi and Sister Fang are here! Please have a seat."
Lin Chen remembered that his wife had mentioned seeing Secretary Yi of the commune at Liu Fang's wedding. He didn't expect that he would come to visit in person. He hurriedly went to make tea.
The tricycle driver, having finished his business, was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.
“Jiang Zhiqing, I forgot. The leader told me to make sure to bring the letter of introduction back.”
Actually, the deal is done whether or not you have a letter of introduction; getting a letter of introduction is just going through the motions.
Jiang Ning had also forgotten about the matter and was about to go to the brigade headquarters to find the Party Secretary when Yi Yong stopped her.
