Chapter 643: Thank you for your hard work

"After this one, I won't do it again. My family is worried all day long, afraid that something might happen..."

Tang Mei was muttering at home.

Lu Miao frowned slightly when he heard this.

The child’s father has now found his advantage and has just started to support his family.

But it's not something that can be stopped just because she tells you to.

Moreover, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Which industry doesn’t have moments of anxiety?

Lu Miao was already worried about Fu Jingyou's trip.

What Tang Mei said was something she didn't want to hear, and she became more worried and unhappy.

The elders said these words with good intentions, and Lu Miao didn't want to hurt Tang Mei's feelings by saying too much, so he simply frowned and returned to his room.

…

Ever since Heipi Lao Si realized that someone was watching him, he didn't go to the black market for several days after he sold the goods that day.

I'm specifically waiting to meet Fu Jingyou on Tuesday.

Even if someone were watching him, they couldn't do it 24 hours a day.

What's more, he and Fu Jingyou had agreed to meet at night.

The transaction went quite smoothly. Fu Jingyou came back around nine o'clock and brought back more than 760 yuan.

He divided the money into two parts and handed them to Lu Miao, emphasizing the three yuan:

"These are small things. Most of the women who buy them are older. The hairbands are pretty good, and the small hairpins are a bit fancy. They don't fit them well, so they don't buy much."

Lu Miao nodded, took the account book and handed it to him for reconciliation, and asked:

"Didn't I bring you those hairpins? I brought them to school too."

Maybe someone has already discovered the quality problems of the hair bands sold for eight cents.

Lu Miao was in school these two days, and many more people came to inquire about what they wanted.

Fu Jingyou shook his head:

"He said it can be sold, just slowly, and he'll keep it and sell it later... He also said if you have time, you can give him the hair ties you make later, but forget about the hairpins; he doesn't want them for now."

Lu Miao nodded.

This is a very straightforward statement, but it is basically certain that her small workshop can be put on the agenda.

Fu Jingyou put down the account book, went outside to eat the food left for him, fetched some water and washed up before coming back in to sit on the kang.

He was leaning on the small table on the kang to count the money, while Lu Miao was sitting opposite him, also planning and thinking.

When I have time, I'll find Mei Zi and ask her if she's willing.

If Mei Zi is willing, she will teach her how to do it.

Then I found a bright place in the main room to put down the sewing machine.

When she is not at home, Mei Zi can come over and use it directly when she is free.

Um……

When the time comes, I will pay Mei Zi according to the number.

Lu Miao was thinking about these things when Fu Jingyou suddenly said:

"Not bad. This trip to Guangzhou was not in vain."

"Um?"

Lu Miao looked up blankly.

Fu Jingyou smiled and handed the account book to her, asking her to look at the total amount under the grid.

"One thousand three hundred and fifty-six?"

Fu Jingyou nodded: "This is the net profit after deducting the cost."

The profits basically come from the fabrics.

Originally, there could be more, but the main problem was the few sets of ready-made clothes and leather shoes that Lu Miao didn't like.

Fu Jingyou bought it to make her happy.

She doesn't like it, and Fu Jingyouji is useless in her hands.

Considering that the young girls didn't have much money, Fu Jingyou only added one or two dollars to the original price and gave all the things to the dark-skinned Lao Si.

I originally thought it would be difficult to sell, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to sell.

Especially leather shoes and sandals.

The clothes are relatively fancy and many girls like them.

But there are no people wearing that on the street. Although they like it, not many people dare to buy it.

When we met in the evening, Heipi Lao Si emphasized that he should get more leather shoes if he had the chance.

Fu Jingyou kept it all in mind.

Thinking about these things, Fu Jingyou hooked his wife's slender finger across the table:

"Other girls like those shoes, why don't you like them? What kind do you like? I'll buy them for you next time I go."

"I don't have anything I like yet, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to wear it. I'll wait until I have the baby."

Fu Jingyou put away the account book, removed the small table, leaned over and rested his head on her thighs to look at her:

"Tell me about it. The shoes won't go bad. Besides, tell me what you want, okay?"

He works hard to make money so that his wife and children can have enough food and clothing and can buy whatever they want.

Lu Miao inserted his slender fingers into his hair and gently stroked it, then he said a long "hmm" and thought carefully:

"I like shoes with a little bit of a heel, the part just below the heel."

Lu Miao gestured to him and explained:

"Those shoes look elegant and flattering, and they even have a special name: high heels."

High heels seemed too avant-garde, and Lu Miao wasn't sure if they were available at this time.

Anyway, she had never seen it in northern Beijing.

Fu Jingyou nodded slightly and listened to her continue:

"As for fabric, buy some nice, tender colors. Don't buy anything too expensive, but not too thin. I'm going to use it for hair ties, so I don't need too much."

Although it is a bit extravagant to use a whole foot or meter of cloth to make a hairband, a hairband can be sold for 1 to 12 cents.

The cloth, which costs 30 to 50 cents per meter, can be cut into small pieces to make 30 to 35 hairbands as thick as a little finger.

Small wide pleated hair bands, can make twelve to fifteen pieces.

To make the wide, floral pleats she liked, she would have to remove half a foot of fabric for each hair tie.

One meter of fabric can only make six.

I have made two before, but they are still a bit exaggerated at this stage.

Lu Miao never had the chance to use...

The ones I sold to my classmates were also as thick as a thumb and had small wide pleats.

Otherwise, they won’t even be able to cover their costs, let alone make a small profit.

Anyway, if you only make hair ties, the cash income will definitely be good.

Making hair bands requires a lot of consumables, so the income will be much less if sold at the same price, but there will still be a small profit.

Lu Miao had previously thought that there was something wrong with the original quotation.

Hair ties should be priced separately to distinguish them from hairpins and hair ties.

That way the profit can be more substantial and it won’t be a wasted effort.

She thought with a sigh, and Fu Jingyou said:

"I asked you what you wanted, why do you always think about something else?"

"I can't wear those clothes because of my big belly, and now my feet are swollen, so I can't wear my usual shoe size."

Lu Miao rolled his eyes at him and pinched his ear:

"You're still asking, always asking, are you really just trying to make things difficult for me? You have to remember all the suffering I went through during your pregnancy, and you have to treat me well for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"

Fu Jingyou met her eyes as she looked down at him and was stunned.

He thought he had done everything comprehensively, but now it seemed that he had done nothing.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

He sat up and gave Lu Miao a tight bear hug.

Maybe my wife doesn’t really dislike those clothes and shoes.

But during this special period, the body feels uncomfortable all over and the heart cannot be happy.

Therefore, it is very likely that it is just as my wife said, that I feel upset when I see it.

Thinking of this, Fu Jingyou felt depressed and started to feel blocked.

It’s his fault for not thinking of it earlier.
