Chapter 122
The girls suddenly understood, and then they were filled with ecstasy.
The price of a piece of clothing is 20 yuan, and there is also a commission. If they sell 20 pieces a month, wouldn't the commission be 20 yuan a month? It's almost as much as their salary.
"I'd like to wear it!" Someone immediately raised his hand, eager to try it on.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, I have a thin waist, let me wear it!"
"Let me do it. I live in the market, so it's convenient."
Several girls blushed with excitement and started to crowd together with their hands raised. Zhong Qiao was afraid they would fall, so she quickly stopped them: "Quiet, quiet!"
Du Yalan made a hushing gesture, and the girls quieted down. However, everyone's eyes were sparkling, and their faces were full of longing for life and money.
Zhong Qiao greatly admired their undisguised ambition and pursuit.
It’s great that they don’t have to stay at home embroidering every day, or follow their fathers and brothers to the factory to help. Instead, they can dress up beautifully, eat well, and follow her to do business with high spirits, earn more money, and contribute more value.
Zhong Qiao hopes that they can have this kind of enthusiasm.
Zhong Qiao smiled and said, "Jin Gui, go and measure their sizes and make some minor alterations. Then give them to them and let them wear them for me to see."
Jin Gui was infected by the lively atmosphere and laughed: "Okay, Master Cui and I will rush out as soon as possible."
Master Cui muttered with dissatisfaction: "I'm the only one rushing, and you guys are really looking for trouble for me."
Jingui smiled and joked, "Master Cui, I know you have a cold exterior but a kind heart, a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I'm leaving these girls' clothes to you. If they don't look good in them, I don't blame them, I only blame you."
Several girls burst into laughter.
The clothes were distributed quickly. The ones that fit them best were Yan'er, Du Yalan, and Zhang Pingping. There was still one person missing. Zhong Qiao chose from left to right and finally gave the last spot to the slightly plump Liu Sanhua. In this way, models of every different body type and height were present.
Du Yalan is the most beautiful among the few people and has the tallest figure. There is no doubt that she looks stunning in this dress.
Zhang Pingping is of average height and figure, but after putting it on, she looks ladylike and cute with her baby face.
Although Liu Sanhua is a little chubby, Zhong Qiao took into consideration that there are also women who lose their figure after pregnancy and who love beauty, so he decided to marry her.
Liu Sanhua's outfit was not as stunning as the others, but she originally looked ordinary, even a little gray, but after putting it on, she seemed to have a scholarly temperament, and she was particularly attractive standing in the middle.
"Sister Zhong Qiao." Liu Sanhua tugged at the hem of her clothes, a little timid. "How about I take them off? Such a beautiful dress is stretching me. You can let Sister Jin Gui wear it. She's thin and fair, so it will definitely suit her better than me."
Zhong Qiao looked at the little fat girl who usually didn't like to talk.
She remembered that this girl and Jingui were both from Dahe Village. Their family conditions were the poorest among them, so she had to move bricks at the construction site and do some men's physical work when she was very young. Because it required a lot of energy, she also ate a lot, and the originally slim and beautiful girl became a little fat girl.
Confidence is gone.
Zhong Qiao talked to her several times, trying to praise her craftsmanship, but she always looked timid and didn't dare to speak.
"It looks great!" Jin Gui interrupted to comfort her. "Sanhua, you look so elegant in this outfit. Since Sister Zhong Qiao asked you to wear it, it must be because you have something special. Don't refuse."
Zhong Qiao placed his hand on her shoulder and patted her to encourage her: "Sanhua, this is also an opportunity for you to make money. Can you be brave?"
Liu Sanhua lowered her head and dared not answer.
Seeing this, several girls of her age looked at each other and came forward, chattering one after another: "Sanhua, you have to wear this dress. Look how beautiful it looks on you."
"Yes, Sanhua, if you are scared, why don't you stay at my house and we can go shopping together the next day."
Master Cui rolled his eyes at her and said, "I've even memorized your measurements. Don't bother me. Just wear what Sister Zhong Qiao tells you to wear."
Hearing the encouragement and comfort from everyone around her, Liu Sanhua's timid expression relaxed a little, and a hint of emotion emerged on her face. Even though she had previously made all kinds of excuses, she could no longer utter them.
"Okay." She nodded vigorously.
Since everyone trusts her so much, no matter how embarrassing this trip is, or even if it means going through fire and water, Liu Sanhua will accept it.
After successfully recruiting the fitters, Zhong Qiao gave them two days off.
In order to rush to make clothes these days, the girls are exhausted. With the shortage of manpower, one person basically has to do the work of two people. Zhong Qiao often sees them with dark circles under their eyes due to exhaustion, but they are still working non-stop.
It's time to let them take a break.
The girls thanked Zhong Qiao repeatedly, held the skirts that had been specially washed by Jingui and still smelled of soapberry, and said goodbye to him, then went back to their respective homes.
Master Cui had to go back to take care of his grandson, so he left as well. Only Zhong Qiao and Jingui were left, and they were responsible for cleaning up the mess left over from the past few days.
"Where's Xiao Mantou?" Zhong Qiao asked as he fetched some water to clean the stains on the floor. "You've been so busy these past few days. Isn't he scared of being home alone?"
Jin Gui's face was sweaty, but she couldn't stop smiling. "He's been playing alone since his father passed away. He's gotten used to it over the years. I always leave him some food when I go out. After he finishes eating, he goes to play with his friends. He's got the aunties from the same village to take care of him, so he'll be fine."
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment and glanced at Jingui.
These days I have been busy taking care of the little girls and have forgotten about Jingui.
Ever since Zhong Qiao chatted with her at the noodle shop with great care, Jingui seemed to have changed a lot.
For example, when they first met, they were buying wild goods. Jingui was timid and cowardly, and even when she was almost bullied by hooligans, she didn't dare to resist. But now -
Zhong Qiao looked at her lively little face and chuckled silently.
It sings while working, and those who don’t know it would think it is a happy little sparrow.
But this is also good, Zhong Qiao thought, everyone is getting better step by step, she is surrounded by people who share the same suffering, people who are confused, and peers who are working hard to make money. This is the life that people should live, and it is exactly the life she has been pursuing in her previous life.
Zhong Qiao couldn't help but hum a song.
The next second, the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
He was the young man who came to the Zhong family last time to thank Mr. Zhong. Zhong Qiao didn't remember his name, but he still remembered his face.
At this time, the young man was so tired that he was panting and his words were falling apart like beads.
"Oh no! Sister Zhong Qiao! Something happened to Fang He!"
