Chapter 438 This is a good thing
Yu Hui rubbed her hands. "I opened a clothing store in the city with someone else. Business is so good right now that we can't even make clothes fast enough to sell them."
"But we can't hire any more people in our shop, otherwise we won't comply with the policy. So I thought, there are a lot of unemployed military dependents in our military dependents' home. Is there anyone who can use a sewing machine and can do some work for us?"
Xu Qin asked: "OEM? How does it work?"
She also knew that Yu Hui opened a clothing store in the city. Recently, the military families in the military family compound have been dressing better and better, and those clothes were bought in Yu Hui's clothing store.
But I didn't expect her business to be so good that she couldn't even make clothes.
Yu Hui said, "I provide the pre-cut fabric and thread for clothing. Anyone who wants to make something can come to me and get the fabric and thread. After we finish the garment and inspect it, if there are no problems, I will pay you 50 cents for each piece of clothing."
"Of course, if the clothes aren't made and the material is damaged, not only will I lose money, but I'll also have to compensate me for the fabric, which cost me quite a lot."
This is also to prevent the OEM from being careless and having to pay compensation if the material is damaged, so the OEM will naturally be more careful and attentive.
Captain Bai nodded and said, "If the material is damaged, it's only right that we pay for it."
He didn't expect that Gu Huai's young wife was so good at business. Not only did she make money herself, but now she also wanted to help the unemployed military dependents in their military dependents compound make money together.
The labor cost for this piece of clothing is fifty cents. If I can make four pieces a day, that would be two dollars.
Two dollars a day, twenty dollars in ten days, that’s sixty dollars a month!
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I thought Sister Ding is the director of women's affairs at our military families' home and is familiar with the military families there, so I wanted to ask you to help me find someone."
"This is a good thing. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Ding Qin said, patting his chest.
This is considered to help unemployed military families solve their employment problems. Isn’t that a good thing?
"When do you want someone?"
Yu Hui said: "Of course the sooner the better."
Yu Qin thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll find someone tomorrow afternoon and take him to your house to show you around?"
Yu Hui nodded and said, "Okay."
Yu Hui sat in the Bai family for a while, chatted with Ding Qin and Captain Bai, and then said goodbye and went home.
On the way back, I met Qian Lan who was returning home after closing the market. The two of us chatted for a while while standing at the door.
"Your Gu Huai hasn't come back yet?" Qian Lan asked.
Yu Hui shook her head, "Not yet."
"No news at all."
Yu Hui continued to shake her head, "No."
Qian Lan frowned and counted the days, "It's been almost two months."
Yu Hui: "About ten days or two months."
She has been counting these ten days.
Qian Lan: "Gu Huai's mission took a really long time."
"That's right! I plan to wait until the end of the month. If there's still no news, I'll go ask Captain Deng."
There has been no news from Gu Huai. Although Yu Hui appears to be fine on the surface, eating, drinking, and opening the shop as usual, she is actually worried about him.
Qian Lan nodded and said, "It's time to ask."
After chatting for a few minutes, the two went back home.
At 9:30 in the evening, Qian Lan took a shower and went to bed.
Yu Qiang, who was reading on the bed, moved outside.
Qian Lan lay down and sighed, "Oh, I'm so tired every day."
After thirty seconds, seeing that Yu Qiang didn't say anything, she curled her lips and changed the subject.
"Hey, do you know when Gu Huai will be back?"
Yu Qiang frowned, an unnatural look flashing across his face. "His mission is confidential. How would I know when he'll be back?"
"You haven't heard anything about it?" Qian Lan asked again.
Yu Qiang shook his head stiffly, "I haven't heard of it."
After saying that, he put the book down, turned on the light and lay down.
"Okay, didn't you say you were tired? Go to sleep."
Qian Lan: “…”
She felt that something was wrong with Yu Qiang, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Forget it, never mind, go to sleep, go to sleep.
The next day, Yu Hui simply didn't go to the store, and her three children stayed at home with her.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Qin came with eight military dependents. All eight of them knew how to use sewing machines and were very skilled. They also had good skills in making clothes.
Yu Hui first explained the OEM model to them and also stated the requirements. Two of them backed off when they heard that if the clothes were not made well or the fabric was damaged, they would have to pay for the fabric.
There was a sewing machine at home, so Yu Hui asked all eight of them to use it to try out their skills.
The craftsmanship of the eight people was quite good. Yu Hui also encouraged them and asked them to go home and think about it. If any of them were willing to do it, they could come to her house tomorrow morning to get the cut fabric.
Tang Fen came back from Gu's house. As soon as she entered the house, she looked at her mother-in-law with her two twin sons and asked, "How are they?"
Tang Fen walked over, picked up her little son who had already woken up, lifted his clothes and fed him.
"The wages are high, but we don't have to pay anything. We provide the cloth and thread. We just use our own sewing machines at home."
"But I'm afraid of damaging the fabric. If it's damaged, I'll have to pay for it."
Tang Fen gently patted the back of her youngest son who was sucking milk hard. The twin children were one year old now and she didn't have much milk left.
But because she gave birth to twins, her milk was not enough for the two children during the confinement period. They could only drink a mixture of milk powder and her milk. The two children still did not grow as well as children of the same age.
So even when it was time to stop breastfeeding and she had very little milk left, Tang Fen still fed her two children, thinking that every bite was a good thing.
Mother Zhao frowned. "What's there to be afraid of? As long as you're careful and follow the seams of the clothes they've already cut, it won't be that easy to ruin the fabric."
"You've always been a careful person. I think you can do this job."
If she does well, she could earn as much as her son in a month.
Her son is just a company commander, and his monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan.
I have two sons who need milk powder and a daughter to raise, and my old man in my hometown has to take medicine every month.
Tang Fen's parents are not in good health, and Tang Fen is their only daughter, so she has to give them five yuan in subsidies every month.
That salary is really not enough to spend. If Tang Fen doesn't find something to do to earn some money, life will be really difficult.
Therefore, even though this OEM clothing-making job involves some risks, Zhao's mother still hopes that her daughter-in-law can do it.
Tang Fen thought about what her mother-in-law said, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it. I'll go to Deputy Head Gu's house to pick up the goods tomorrow morning."
