Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Part 2
Huacai Garment Factory developed beyond Shen Moer's expectations.
Especially at the end of 1977 and 1978, the country officially made the major decision to shift the focus of work to economic construction and implement reform and opening up. Policies in all aspects were further relaxed, and the development of garment factories became more in full swing.
By the second half of her sophomore year, the garment factory's business volume had expanded further, and Shen Moli's daily workload had become more and more arduous, so she simply resigned from her position as class monitor and appeared less and less frequently in school.
At this time, almost everyone in the department knew that she had built a social enterprise in the capital from scratch. Although it was called a social enterprise, the clothes produced by her factory were almost all popular. Although the scale was not as large as that of several large garment factories, the factory's efficiency was far superior.
It is said that the wages of workers in their factory are exactly the same as those in large state-owned factories, and the welfare is even better than that in large state-owned factories. No matter what holiday it is, workers will be given gifts.
The only thing that is inferior to large state-owned factories is probably the inability to provide housing.
However, they rented several courtyards for employees to use as dormitories. Those who lived in the dormitories could get half of the housing subsidy, and those who did not get the full housing subsidy, which was nearly one-third of their salary.
What does this mean? It means that if you are a local of the capital and own a house, you can get one and a third of that salary a month.
If you calculate it this way, the wages are much higher than those in state-owned factories!
While other students were still doing part-time internships in school-run enterprises and running errands to gain experience, Shen Moli was already leading an enterprise with a very good reputation in all aspects and a bright future.
When Shen Moli got first place in the class at the end of the first semester, received a first-class scholarship and special commendation, many people were not convinced, thinking that although she had good grades, she was more likely to be lucky.
She just happened to save someone on the train, and her father just happened to be able to paint, and she just happened to come up with the idea of painting on the electric fan.
By the time Huacai Garment Factory became famous in the capital, the gap between them became wider and wider, and finally the sour words behind it disappeared.
The gap is too big to be jealous.
Time flies, and it was autumn of 1980 in a blink of an eye.
"Mom, I don't want to go to school."
Little Liangliang, who is a little over three years old, is dragging the small schoolbag that her mother made for her. Her chubby little face is full of reluctance and her little mouth is pouted high.
Shen Moer looked down at her and said, “Going to school is something every child must do, just like eating and sleeping. You can’t just not do it if you don’t want to.”
Xiao Liangliang said confidently: "Then from today on, I will not eat or sleep."
Shen Moer was almost so angry that she laughed: "You think you are a god, but you don't eat or sleep. If you don't eat or sleep, you will die like a mouse."
A few days ago, rats appeared in the yard. Fu Mingze got a bag of rat poison from somewhere, and the next day the rats died under the yard wall.
No one noticed it at first, until Xiao Liangliang was discovered when she was riding the bamboo horse that her grandfather made for her and having fun in the yard.
The little girl was naturally brave. Not only was she not afraid, she also pestered her father for a long time to ask what happened to the mouse.
Although Fu Zhiqing always has a calm expression and often mocks his daughter with sharp tongue, he is actually a daughter slave at heart.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his daughter asking this, and he patiently explained to his daughter what rat poison and death were, and even told her what was put in the rat poison.
The little girl now knows what death is, but when she heard Shen Moer say that she would die like a mouse if she didn't eat or sleep, she had something to say.
"The rat died from taking medicine, not from not eating or sleeping."
Shen Moer: “…”
He glared at Fu Mingze who was checking the child seat on the crossbar of the bicycle and said, "Fu Zhiqing, take it away for your daughter right away."
Xiao Liangliang was not to be outdone: "Hu Jiqing (Fu Zhiqing), Liangliang doesn't want to go to school."
Fu Mingze looked back at the mother and daughter who were wearing exactly the same thin sweaters and skirts. The two pairs of very similar eyes were staring at him, as if asking him to administer justice.
He couldn't help laughing, and went over to pick up his daughter, put her in the child seat in front of the bicycle, touched her hairy little head and said:
"Your mother is right. Everyone has to go to school. You can't not go if you don't want to. Besides, didn't you make some good friends in kindergarten? Don't you want to see your friends?"
Xiao Liangliang snorted, and finally said aggrievedly: "But I want to go find grandpa."
Only then did Shen Moer understand why the little guy suddenly got upset and refused to go to kindergarten today. It turned out that he missed his grandpa.
Before coming to the capital, Shen Shaoyuan had planned to find a job as an editor to earn some salary, but plans could not keep up with changes. After arriving in the capital, he found that his daughter and son-in-law were so busy with their studies that they had no time to take care of the children.
It just so happened that the publishing house was preparing to publish a comic book, so Shen Shaoyuan simply stopped going to work and stayed at home to take care of the children and draw at the same time.
The whole process lasted for three years, and the little guy spent much more time with his grandfather than with his parents.
This fall, the little one can finally go to kindergarten. Her parents can make time to pick her up, and if that's not possible, there are still her grandparents. So Shen Shaoyuan took Zhou Ping'an to participate in the field trip organized by the publishing house.
It has been half a month since he left. When he called me two days ago, he said that he was visiting the ancient buildings that have been preserved in a county town in Hexi Province.
The little girl used to ask where her grandfather was every day, but she stopped asking after she received the phone call two days ago. Shen Moer thought she had accepted the reality that her grandfather was not at home, but she never thought that she was actually planning to go look for her grandfather.
"It takes a very long car ride to get to where grandpa is going. We can't go there, baby." Shen Moer touched her daughter's head and coaxed her softly.
The little guy turned his head to look at his father. Fu Mingze's eyes were soft and he said, "Your mother is right. Grandpa's place is too far away. Liangliang can't go yet. He can go when he grows up."
"But as long as you study hard, you can call grandpa at night."
Xiao Liangliang pouted and said weakly, "Okay."
Thousands of miles away, Shen Shaoyuan, who was visiting ancient buildings in Hexi Province, sneezed twice while standing in the sun. Someone next to him asked him if he had caught a cold. He thought for a moment and said, "It must be that my granddaughter at home missed me."
The people around him thought he was joking, but they didn't know that Shen Shaoyuan stared at the ancient tower in front of him for a while, but he had already started to wonder when to go back.
Having personally raised the little girl for more than three years, this was the first time that Shen Shaoyuan hadn't seen his little granddaughter for so long. He always felt empty in his heart.
On the other side, after Shen Moer and Fu Mingze sent their daughter to kindergarten, they rode their bicycles to school together.
Shen Moer has two classes in the morning, and Fu Mingze has no classes in the morning, but he usually goes to the professor's laboratory to help in his free time.
After two classes, Shen Moer walked to the cafeteria with Yuan Lan and the others. Yuan Lan said as they walked, "By the way, some overseas Chinese from the United States will return to China to investigate investment next month. The department has secured several errand runners to serve overseas Chinese businessmen together with students from the School of Foreign Languages. Do you want to sign up?"
After Shen Moer resigned from the position of class monitor, Yuan Lan successfully won the election and became the new class monitor of the Political Economy Class 1.
Shen Moer thought about it and said, "I'll forget it. This is a rare opportunity. Let the students practice more."
She has many opportunities to meet foreign and overseas businessmen. Even though Huacai Garment Factory is not yet qualified to participate in the Canton Fair, if she really wants to go to the Canton Fair, she can go with other participating companies.
Yuan Lan nodded: "That's fine."
She also guessed that Shen Moli would not sign up, but she had to mention this matter to her.
What they didn't know was that at the same time, the department was also holding a meeting to discuss the matter. In the end, the department decided that there would be ten places, six of which would be selected from those who registered and four would be designated by the department.
Since we are going to serve overseas Chinese businessmen, we must show them our best side. At least, all the "ace students" in the department must go, and let the overseas Chinese businessmen see the style of contemporary Chinese college students.
"Political Economics 1977, let Shen Moer go! Didn't she run a garment factory outside? Maybe the overseas Chinese businessmen would be willing to invest in her?"
The department head, who has gray hair and looks like a naughty old man, said with a smile.
