Bao Huihua looked at Qiao Baozhu worriedly, her fingers flying in the air so fast that it seemed like she was forming seals.
It was the first time that Qiao Baozhu saw her so emotional. In the past, no matter how worried she was about herself, she only dared to look at her worriedly and never dared to express her own thoughts.
Now that Bao Huihua has gone out to work, she has met more people, gained more experience, and become bolder. Most importantly, she is now financially independent, and she has straightened her back unconsciously.
"You are so slow in making clothes that you need four or five days to make one piece of clothing. I have to work during the day and have to go to bed after working for a while at night, otherwise I won't have the energy to work the next day."
"How can you buy four sewing machines when you haven't even opened a clothing store yet? I don't know how long it will take to sell the clothes I make, and it's too difficult to make a profit from this business. Your job of collecting shoe soles is pretty good. You now have both a salary and extra income, and you can earn dozens of dollars a month, which is enough to spend."
Bao Huihua disagreed to open a clothing store, and this time her attitude was extremely firm.
"Now we all have stable jobs, and life is much better than before. We should be content!"
"What if someone finds out we're doing business and arrests us? Confiscating the money is a small matter, but losing your job is a big deal. Baozhu, you should be content and not be too greedy."
Bao Huihua's fingers were sore from trying to figure it out, but she still couldn't persuade Qiao Baozhu to change her mind. She was sweating profusely and grabbed Qiao Changhai's arm and shook it vigorously.
“Ahh…”
Bao Huihua signaled Qiao Changhai to talk to Qiao Baozhu, she firmly disagreed with this matter.
Qiao Changhai patted Bao Huihua's arm and said, "Xiaohua, calm down. Baozhu is a sensible child. She knows what's going on. You should listen to her plan first."
Looking at her adoptive mother who was firmly opposed, Qiao Baozhu felt helpless and discouraged.
Human cognition is limited, and it is natural for an adoptive mother to worry. Most people today would have the same idea as Bao Huihua.
They are a family of three, no, four, and everyone has a formal job. The combined salary of the four of them is more than 300 yuan, which is better than most ordinary people.
The economy is not open now, and those doing small business on the streets are all old, weak, sick and disabled people, and they are allowed by the street.
Those who dare to do business in the black market are all brave and have a strong background.
Qiao Baozhu suddenly wanted to open a workshop at home, which was indeed very risky.
When Bao Huihua saw Qiao Baozhu lowering her head and not saying anything, she thought she was sad and was angry with her.
He sighed, bit his lip, and reached out to hold Qiao Baozhu's hand as if he had made up his mind.
"If you really want to open a clothing store, I will quit my job at the factory and make clothes for you at home. I am a mute, and the street allows the mute, the disabled, and the elderly to do small businesses. Look at the old man Sun who repairs shoes at the street corner. The street saw that he had no children and was old, so they allowed him to do business at the intersection."
'If you decide to go into business, I will stay at home.'
Bao Huihua's words shocked Qiao Baozhu.
Excitement, gratitude, and guilt intertwined together and finally turned into a word "sorry".
"Mom, you can't quit this job."
Bao Huihua smiled and shook her head, touching Qiao Baozhu's face, with a charitable look on her face: "I didn't have a job before, but I could still make a lot of money by sewing shoe soles. I have confidence in myself, and I will make no less than before by making clothes."
Qiao Baozhu smiled bitterly.
Can this be the same?
"The benefit of your current job is not just job stability, but also the fact that you will have a pension in the future."
For the elderly, especially those in rural areas who have lived through hard times like Bao Huihua, having a fixed amount of money every month is their confidence.
What do the elderly fear the most in their later years? No one to take care of them!
Even with a monthly pension of 10 yuan, Bao Huihua can live a good life.
The most important thing for Qiao Baozhu after her rebirth is to let her parents enjoy their old age.
Catching the spy and making meritorious contributions, and taking this opportunity to ensure that both of the elders have stable jobs, is only the first step.
"Mom, believe me, our clothing store is not as scary as you think."
"First of all, we have a stable source of goods. Do you remember Sun Jihong from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Bao Huihua and Qiao Changhai looked at each other, not understanding why their daughter mentioned her.
"Sun Jihong was transferred to the newly opened supply and marketing cooperative in the south city. I've been to that supply and marketing cooperative before. It's small, dark, and most importantly, there are very few things."
"Jihong's second brother is a buyer at the supply and marketing cooperative. He said that business at the supply and marketing cooperative is not as good as before. Moreover, her second brother also said that the higher authorities intend to open up the economy and there are already pilot sites in the south."
This was made up by Qiao Baozhu because she knew that the two elders would not ask Sun Jigang to verify the truth of this story.
Qiao Changhai is a daughter slave and he believes whatever Qiao Baozhu says.
Hearing what Qiao Baozhu said, he nodded and agreed: "Second Brother Jihong is a buyer for the supply and marketing cooperative. He travels all over the country. His horizons are broader than ours, and he knows the news earlier."
Qiao Baozhu added, "I'm not the only one running this clothing store. My second brother Jihong is in charge of purchasing the goods. He is the one who looks for fabrics, threads, and the most fashionable styles. We make the clothes, and Jihong sells them."
Bao Huihua felt a little relieved when she heard that her daughter had already arranged the entire channel.
But he still felt a little uneasy, and raised his hand and gestured a few times: "Where can we find workers? Your father and I have to go to work during the day, and there are only workers at home. Is it okay?"
Qiao Baozhu smiled. She had already thought about recruiting workers.
"Mom and Dad, have you forgotten Director Yang from the Street Office? Her sister-in-law doesn't have a job yet. I don't think she will refuse to work in our house."
Bao Huihua looked at Qiao Baozhu in confusion, then at her husband. How could the sister-in-law of the director of the subdistrict office come to work in her house?
Qiao Baozhu forgot that her adoptive mother never liked to watch the fun, and explained with a smile: "I chatted with Director Yang for a while when the reception office came to present the silk banner last time, and that's how we got to know each other."
"Director Yang's mother's side has a younger brother who has a bad leg like my father. He used to sell cigarettes across from the street office. Although selling cigarettes is free, it is very hard to live outdoors. Director Yang wanted his brother to learn how to repair watches from my father, but the jobs at Huaguang Factory were too tight and they couldn't find anyone to get in."
This winter is exceptionally cold, with several heavy snowfalls. Yang Ming hasn’t come out to sell goods for many days.
Yang Ming has poor legs and feet and a low income, so he usually relies on financial support from his parents and sister.
Relying on family subsidies is not a long-term solution after all. Director Yang is eager to let Yang Ming learn a skill and become independent as soon as possible.
"Yang Ming is a really good kid, he can endure hardships and he's a down-to-earth person. It's a pity that I can't have a say in front of the factory leaders and can't help them."
Qiao Baozhu's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light: "If he can sell cigarettes at the gate of the street office, he can also repair watches at the gate of the street office. As long as he has the skills, he doesn't have to go to Huaguang Factory."
Qiao Changhai looked at his daughter in shock, then slapped his thigh as if he suddenly realized something.
"Yes! After closing his stall, he came to learn how to repair watches from me. He can open a watch repair shop and make money in the future. With Director Yang here, it won't be difficult to open a shop!"
Bao Huihua also figured it out at this time.
His younger brother followed Qiao Changhai to learn how to repair watches, and his younger brother and his wife worked in Qiao's clothing shop to earn money. In order for the couple to live a stable life, Director Yang had to help Qiao Baozhu keep the workshop in good shape.
This girl Qiao Baozhu actually plotted against Director Yang.
