"work?"
Zhang Xiaoxia laughed at herself and said, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, not their daughter. Even if there is a vacancy, it will not be my turn."
When Qiao Baozhu saw Zhang Xiaoxia's unwilling look, she came up with a plan in her mind.
"I go to work to make money. If I have money in my hands, I will have confidence in my husband's family. I can't give my sister-in-law a job, but I can give her the opportunity to make money."
Zhang Xiaoxia's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "Really? What is the opportunity? When does it start? How much money can I make?"
"The shoe store has given me authorization, so I can collect shoe soles from farms and communes. I have to go to work during the day, and I can't handle it all by myself, so I'm looking for a reliable person to help me share the work."
Help Qiao Baozhu collect shoe soles in the commune below?
Zhang Xiaoxia was a little disappointed. How much money could she make from this?
Qiao Baozhu saw that Zhang Xiaoxia was a little disdainful and smiled faintly: "I will give you 10 cents for every 20 pairs of shoes I collect. You just need to ensure that the quality of the soles you hand in meets the requirements of the shoe store. Are you willing to do this job, sister-in-law?"
Zhang Xiaoxia was stunned. This money was too easy to make.
She doesn't have to do anything but check whether the quality of the soles she collects is up to standard.
You can get 1 cent as labor compensation for 20 pairs of soles.
Zhang Xiaoxia didn't think that the money she earned was too little. Instead, she felt that the job was too easy.
The winter in Heilongjiang Province is very long. Although there is no need to farm, there is still other endless work to do.
Water conservancy projects were built to prevent floods, especially after the two consecutive years of floods in 1973 and 1974. The military corps and farms in various places realized the importance of water conservancy projects.
In addition, roads had to be built. At first, we picked up stones and smashed them. Later, we built highways and laid railways.
Of course, there are also some people who have to ensure logistical supplies, go up the mountains to cut wood, and go down to the mines to dig coal.
We can only work like this for two months. When the snow falls and the ground freezes, we will not be able to work in the field.
Each farm and commune would buy some willow branches and reeds at their own expense and give them to everyone. The whole family would work together to weave willow baskets and reed mats. This not only earned work points, but also helped to supplement the family income.
When the news that Qiao Baozhu had stored the thousand-layer soles in the staff quarters spread, women from the surrounding villages were extremely excited.
A pair of shoe soles can be sold for one dollar. What’s the difference between this and picking up money?
However, only military dependents living in the family compound are eligible for this good thing, and people outside cannot enjoy it at all.
Zhang Xiaoxia also shamelessly found Qiao Baozhu and asked her to help her for the sake of their relationship. This is how she became the first daughter-in-law in the village to make money by sewing shoe soles.
As for the rest of the village...
As soon as Zhang Xiaoxia thought of Aunt Li in the backyard, she immediately agreed.
"Sister Baozhu, I believe you. I'll take this job."
When Qiao Baozhu saw that Zhang Xiaoxia agreed, she remained expressionless and felt relieved.
Zhang Xiaoxia was silent for a long time, and I thought she was going to give up this opportunity.
"Sister-in-law, this job is not easy. You have to check very carefully. If the store returns the goods, you will not only not earn your hard-earned money, but also offend people."
"The villagers in this village are so common. They will say nice things to you in order to ensure smooth delivery, but once you find fault with them, they will immediately turn hostile and scold you."
"Sister-in-law, can you bear this hardship?"
Qiao Baozhu felt that she couldn't just rely on Xu Li, she also had to let Zhang Xiaoxia know in advance the difficult parts of this job.
After listening to this, Zhang Xiaoxia waved her hand disapprovingly: "It's not that hard."
"I have never seen what kind of people in the village are like. How can I be bullied by them?"
Qiao Baozhu was stunned, and subconsciously concluded that Zhang Xiaoxia was too optimistic. Zhang Xiaoxia saw that Qiao Baozhu didn't believe it, so she leaned over and covered her mouth and whispered.
"Aunt Li in our backyard also secretly sews shoe soles."
Qiao Baozhu frowned: "Aunt Li? I don't collect shoe soles from the village."
Zhang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and sneered, "Humph, you don't know that. You only collect shoe soles in the family compound, and the people in the family compound collect the ones outside and then pass them on to you."
"You give one dollar, and Aunt Li only has 70 cents left."
Qiao Baozhu was dumbfounded. Wow, the middleman was making a profit from the price difference.
Her commission was only 1 cent, but the group of people in the staff quarters took 30 cents.
Qiao Baozhu recalled carefully and did not find anyone with a particularly large delivery volume.
Everyone sews the soles at about the same speed.
In addition to Wu Meili, she delivered nearly thirty pairs this month.
Is she the one who makes the profit from the price difference?
