Chapter 283 Outsourcing
The clothing store is back on track.
Relying solely on Old Lady Liu to sew clothes, Liu Qingqing and her two sewing machines were no longer able to keep up.
She originally wanted to go to a clothing factory to customize a batch.
As a result, even though she had a long list of titles such as "Specially hired repairman of the textile factory", she did not impress the small leader of the garment factory.
The other party was arrogant and said that as a state-owned factory, it was impossible for them to lower their prices to take on such a small private job.
Liu Qingqing~! ~! ~
If outsourcing fails, then you have no choice but to hire people.
There are some people in the family compound who are unemployed.
Although I had no plans to work in a private shop before.
But if you take on a job, it is still possible to do some handicrafts at home.
This way you can make money without bringing shame to your family.
Not everyone is suitable for Liu Qingqing. She needs to have a sewing machine at home and be a careful and conscientious worker.
If the stitching is too rough and damages the fabric, not only will they not pay, they will also demand compensation.
We have said it all upfront so that any problems we may have later can be dealt with.
"Sister Liu, can I take on some work too? Can I do it at night?" Lu Ruyan heard that several people had taken manual work from her.
I've had this idea in mind for a long time.
You can earn 35 cents for making one piece of clothing.
She picked up the trash and got home in the evening, but had nothing to do.
I'm just sitting around doing nothing, so if I could get some work, I could earn an extra dollar or two a day.
"Why not?" Liu Qingqing took her to get the material with a smile.
Lu Ruyan, who originally wanted to sit down and chat, couldn't wait any longer. She took the material for five pairs of pants and hurried home.
All that wasted time is money!
All the clothes and pants currently sold in the store have been outsourced.
Liu Qingqing and her mother began to study the movies that would be released next round.
The day Lu Ruyan received the handicraft work, Lv Simei couldn't hold back any longer.
As long as I have free time, I can earn some money to support my family.
Who doesn’t want to do it?
Even if there isn't enough time at night.
It's also okay to buy an extra piece of meat for your child every day.

After Liu Dongfang and his wife moved to the city, they only went back to Taoshan Village occasionally.
Ping Xianghong would call Liu Qingqing from time to time.
Ask about the old lady's health and chat about some trivial matters at home.
Ping Xianghong: [Sister, I went to my eldest sister's house a few days ago. Their village is different from ours. Each person can get an acre of land. They even count adults and children. One acre is enough for one adult and one child. What's the point of that?] Since conditions have improved, the sisters-in-law have been visiting more frequently.
In the past few years, Liu Honghua has been using the identity of a transporter to tinker with things.
I also made a lot of money.
However, it was still impossible to enter the city, even in 1983, and a letter of introduction was still required.
Liu Qingqing: [Does Big Sister have enough food and clothing at home?]
Ping Xianghong: [It's not bad. Compared to the first few years when I was earning work points, it's a lot better. By the way, did you receive Lili's test paper you asked me to send?]
Liu Qingqing: [Here, sister-in-law. Lili's grades aren't great yet. The high school entrance exam is coming up soon, so you have to keep a close eye on her. The other day I sent her a few workbooks, they're for the kids in Huating to review. Have her work on them.]
Ping Xianghong agreed repeatedly: "Hey, sure. I'll keep an eye on her. Thank you for your help, sister."
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the first batch of college entrance examination candidates have graduated.
After hearing what her neighbors said about the college education, Ping Xianghong became more interested in studying.
If I can educate my daughter, I hope she can go to college.
Then your life will be settled.
Besides, I have a sister-in-law who is raising a college student.
If you don't cherish such convenient conditions, you are a fool.
Liu Qingqing: [Sister-in-law, you're being polite to us. Lili is also my niece. You should cook an extra egg for the child every day to nourish her brain and body.]
Ping Xianghong smiled and said, "I understand. Sister, leave it at that for now. I'll write you a letter tomorrow to tell you more."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingqing almost laughed out loud.
I am no longer Xiao Lili's favorite aunt.
Things like giving away exercise books and test papers.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
❉
Liu Qingqing has been too busy lately.
Old Mrs. Liu was also very tired, and the whole family took pills frequently.
I also feel mentally exhausted.
In addition to Sun Yumei, the shop also hired another young girl to help.
But Sun Yumei is not a good person to be in charge, as she is too soft-hearted.
I remembered Ping Xianghong telling her about her eldest sister's family situation.
Liu Qingqing wanted to get someone over to help her.
Liu Honghua had been following her sister's advice over the years, making some money selling things. She was already quite good at sales, and with her aggressive personality, she was perfectly capable of taking charge.
My eldest sister's family is not so tight on money now.
But in a year or two, this kind of tinkering will no longer be a thing.
But this is just her idea. As for whether she will come or not, she has to ask her elder sister.
