"That's right, the remaining six yuan and forty cents is Sister Zhao's hard-earned money."
Sister-in-law Wang held the small bills in her hand, her fingers rubbing them back and forth, tears welling up in the corners of her wrinkled eyes.
"That's wonderful! I never thought that the flowers and plants I tended could actually be sold for money! I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever earned money on my own! I'm so grateful to you, Qiqi, for showing me how to do this. How can I possibly thank you enough, sister-in-law?"
Zhou Qiqi quickly waved her hand, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.
"Don't say that. I just talked a bit and didn't do anything. The flowers sold well thanks to Sister Zhao's hard work. Her family isn't well-off. You'll need to lend a hand in the future. Just help each other out."
This business is sustainable.
Sister-in-law Wang's yard is full of flowers and plants, and she can easily sell them every week or two.
This is a good thing for both Sister Wang and Sister Zhao.
After talking for a while, Sister-in-law Wang and Deng Cuixiang left, leaving Zhao Damei alone.
There were too many people around, so Zhao Damei was too embarrassed to speak up, but she finally did now.
"I was able to sell these thanks to the tricks you taught me."
She was selling potted plants, and Zhou Qiqi taught her a completely different way of selling them than Deng Cuixiang.
Instead of going to noodle stalls or steel mills, you have to go to places like the residential compounds of government agencies or movie theaters.
She wasn't afraid of hard work, so she pulled a donkey cart and went from one residential compound to another until all the flowers were sold out.
Zhou Qiqi noticed that her eyes were a little red, so she quickly patted her shoulder.
"Alright, alright, we're talking fine, why are you crying? Did you run into a bad customer who yelled at you?"
Zhao Damei waved her hand, forcibly suppressing her tears.
"No, no, what's a few words of criticism? I just feel like there's hope for the future. At least this winter, the children won't go hungry or cold."
After seeing Zhao Damei off, Zhou Qiqi was happy for her sisters-in-law. They were all making money and had a bright future ahead of them.
The design fee for her is still unresolved, and we don't know when Deputy Factory Director Zhang will return.
Zhang Guoqiang is the type who can't stand being nagged. Zhou Qiqi mentioned it once, and that evening she received a call from him at the train station.
"I'll be at the factory first thing tomorrow morning. Come over around noon tomorrow and have your bankbook ready!"
