Qiao Baozhu didn't know that her biological parents had already started fighting.
She doesn't care what happens to her biological mother. As long as she does her superficial work well, Qiao Baozhu doesn't bother with other things.
After packing up the things in the warehouse, Qiao Baozhu went to see Gao Liman carrying her new cloth bag.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the Sisters Mutual Aid Society was already packed with people.
Most of them were female educated youth from the farm. Although Qiao Baozhu didn't know them, she could still easily distinguish the educated youth from the local farmers by their clothes.
Every student assigned to the Great Northern Wilderness will be given a set of clothes.
Policies vary from place to place, and the clothing distributed is also different. The educated youth who wear military green coats and military green cotton-padded jackets are from Shanghai, the educated youth who wear khaki coats and khaki cotton-padded jackets are from Beijing and Tianjin, and the educated youth from Harbin are dressed the most fashionably, wearing all kinds of fur hats, and their cotton trousers are all made to be thinner.
The local farm workers and members living nearby are dressed in black from head to toe, with a hemp rope tied around their waists as a belt.
As soon as Qiao Baozhu entered the room, she took a quick glance and realized that most of the people who came to watch the fun today were educated youth.
In other words, the housewives living nearby don’t know the news yet.
"Baozhu, come here quickly."
Ji Hehua has sharp eyes and she noticed Qiao Baozhu as soon as she entered the room. Seeing her squeezed in the crowd, I quickly called out to her.
"Lotus!"
Qiao Baozhu walked over and looked at Ji Hehua with a pursed smile: "There are quite a lot of people here today, can you handle it?"
Ji Hehua couldn't stop smiling, nodded and said, "Many people asked, but they didn't dare to try. Mainly because I'm collecting deposits, and they don't have money."
Qiao Baozhu nodded in understanding. She didn't know about the deposit. It should be the site's own rule.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the idea of paying a deposit. You can take the items home and use them yourself. If you fail to deliver the goods in the end and the manufacturer holds you accountable, Ji Hehua and others will be blamed.
Qiao Baozhu didn't ask how much the deposit was. She knew that even if there was a deposit of 1 cent, many people would not be able to afford it.
Don’t be fooled by the newspapers that promote gender equality and that women hold up half the sky all day long. In fact, the status of women is still very low. They emphasize gender equality when doing laundry, cooking and taking care of children at home, but when it comes to spending real money, they cannot be the head of the household.
The financial power of the family is in the hands of men, or even in the hands of the mother-in-law. Many women don't have even a dime.
"We have just opened, so there is no rush. Everyone is watching the wind, and others will not dare to do anything until someone gets paid."
Ji Hehua believed what Qiao Baozhu said. She collected shoe soles in the family compound, and at first only a few familiar family members like Wu Meili followed her to do it.
The other family members were either watching or making sarcastic remarks, but it was not until she and Wu Meili exchanged the soles of her shoes for money that everyone rushed forward.
Now Qiao Baozhu goes to the city once every two weeks, and each time she takes two large sacks of shoe soles.
"Yeah, I think so too. Everything is difficult at the beginning!"
Ji Hehua saw that Qiao Baozhu's face was a little red from the cold, so she pulled her behind the desk.
"Come sit over here. I have a stove to keep you warm."
The new office is more than 50 square meters and is divided into three spaces by half-height wooden boards. The area on the east side is for handmade materials, while the finished handmade products are stored in the west side.
In the middle is the reception area, with a long old desk. Judging from its condition, it is an old item that is over a hundred years old. It was probably copied from the home of some wealthy landlord.
"Well, good. Didn't Sister Cuilian come over?"
"She stayed here in the morning. Seeing that we were getting started, she went to do her own thing."
"Baozhu, it's warm here. I also roasted some potatoes. They smell delicious."
Ji Hehua asked Qiao Baozhu to come over and warm herself by the fire, and Qiao Baozhu didn't refuse.
Originally, Qiao Baozhu was a little worried, worried that someone would report to the higher-ups or even report Shen Xiao.
When I went to work this morning, someone from the field office came to the cafeteria to give instructions. She was allowed to collect shoe soles from employees' families and educated youth at the site. It is said that Qiao Baozhu is helping the farm office with welfare in disguise and also helping the employees increase their income.
The leaders of the field office are very supportive and hope that she will take time to help out at the mutual aid society in the future.
When Qiao Baozhu came over to take a look, she saw that the site office had even chosen a long desk and moved three stools.
Qiao Baozhu sat down calmly, took out two eggs from her bag and handed one to Ji Hehua.
"I don't want it. I'm full. Give it to Gao Liman. Her mother-in-law came to make a scene at noon. She was so angry that she didn't even eat a bite of rice."
Ji Hehua looked at Gao Liman who was explaining handicraft methods to the educated youth, and couldn't help but whispered to Qiao Baozhu.
