His words were full of dissatisfaction with Qiu Jianshe, as if he had wanted to kick him out a long time ago.
"But your third sister-in-law can't stay alone. When there's no one around, I can just go over and say a few words. But whenever there's someone, even if they just come in to look around and don't buy anything, I have to stay here and keep them company. She's alone over there, so she's always busy with her head and not her butt."
Qiu Yuling took the melon seeds handed to her by her mother, cracked a few, and listened to her chatter.
"She has the final say on when to hire people and who to hire in her shop. You don't have to worry about it. I see that Third Sister-in-law is very enthusiastic about this, which is great. People will only be proficient in what they like."
"Yes, your third brother told me privately that back then, asking her to read a book was like pulling her and she wouldn't move, and hitting her would make her move backwards. Now that she's running a small business, she's shouting in her dreams. What's the point of saying personality?"
"Everyone has their own aspirations!"
"Oh, yes, everyone has their own aspirations. I can never remember the fancy things you talk about, but she likes this. I've never heard her complain once.
Now that summer vacation is almost here, she even said that she would send Qingdou and Landou, the brother and sister, to Yingtao's place for extra lessons, so that they wouldn't have to waste the whole vacation playing.
I'm also very busy now, so I think this is suitable. I can take care of all the businesses, and the kids can learn something. Even if they are only half as good as you and your third brother in the future, it will be enough for them to make a living..."
All the women in the family are career-oriented, which is really a hassle, but Qiu Yuling is still happy from the bottom of her heart that they have all found things they enjoy doing.
"Just you guys decide, I can't really help anyway. Oh, and by the way, remember to pack some snacks for me later. Nannan's school is organizing a spring outing tomorrow, and she made a special trip to arrange for me to come see you."
"What's the big deal? We own a store. How can we be short of dolls?" Li Qingmei pulled out a large cloth bag from under the cabinet in front of the stool she was sitting on, and without even looking at it carefully, she threw a pile of things in.
Qiu Yuling kept shouting "Enough, enough", but she didn't listen at all. "What's enough? We have so many children now. Let Nannan eat with her friends openly."
There was a pile of bubble gum, fruit leather, hawthorn slices and so on. Qiu Yuling forced her to put them in her pocket, and Li Qingmei stopped.
"Now I think back to when you were little, you wanted to eat an egg, but we couldn't even get one. One time, your third sister-in-law came to our house with a bean bun to look for you, but in order to keep her from leaving, you couldn't eat the bean bun.
I steamed some saxauls, and there weren't many left. I was worried she wouldn't eat them all, so I made a special trip to chat with her, keeping her busy. I was afraid she'd finish them before you guys came back..."
Qiu Yuling tried hard to recall that incident, but she couldn't remember it clearly. However, Li Qingmei's description was both funny and sad.
"So, now that we're in a good time, and my back and legs aren't sore, I'm happy to make money. When I make money, I'm happy to feed you guys and the kids, too. I don't want them to be like you guys were when you were little, always inferior to others."
Qiu Yuling could hardly remember the hardships that her mother had described. It seemed as if she had become what she is today without knowing what was happening.
Seeing her confused look, Li Qingmei actually smiled and said, "Although you are picky, you have one good point: you are generous and don't remember the hardships. No matter how hard life is, you only look forward and don't think about the future.
How many people suffer and then enjoy happiness? That's so extravagant, wishing to make up for the suffering they endured in the first half of their lives. I am no exception, but you are not like that..."
Qiu Yuling was ashamed. Perhaps because Zhuzhu and the farm had always been there, she had never really suffered any hardship, so her obsession with suffering was not deep. In the eyes of others, this was a manifestation of her open-minded character.
She wanted to escape a little bit, so she picked up her bag and said, "Well, Mom, I have to go back first. I have taught a few students this year, and I will go back to take a look at the papers they submitted..."
"Are you also giving extra lessons to students?" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the surprised Li Qingmei.
"No, I'm supervising graduate students, which is different from Sister Taozi's. I won't go to Third Sister-in-law's place, or else she'll drag me to try on clothes. Some of my clothes are too heavy. Qiaolan gives them to me once, and she gives them to me again, but I don't want them. She thinks I'm refusing..."
She only has this one outfit, and even if she changes it every day, she still can't wear all of them.
While Qiu Yuling was speaking, she had already reached the door. Li Qingmei suddenly remembered something and called her back, "Girl, Nannan is going on a spring outing tomorrow. Do you have to go too?"
"What am I going to do? I'm with my school teacher. Climbing a city wall or something, what's wrong with that?"
"Tomorrow I'm discussing with your third sister-in-law about closing the shop for a day and taking a break. She said many of our customers wear fine jewelry and she wants to have some nice clothes too. If you want to join me, I'll buy you a set too."
In fact, she also wanted to buy herself a silver bracelet, but she was too embarrassed to say it at the moment.
"Comrade Li Qingmei, you are really rich. You even bought me a set!" The last two words were particularly emphasized.
"What time tomorrow? For something as good as this, I have to postpone all other work." Qiu Yuling had just received her man's courtesy the day before yesterday, a very tacky gold chain and flower pendant.
I didn't expect to receive it for the second time so soon, so there is no reason to refuse.
The days passed at a leisurely pace. Qiu Yuling was a good factory director, attending important events and not taking care of small matters. She also appeared in some government-supported projects to provide business guidance.
Qiao Yue's Huanyi is also doing well. Although he has borrowed a lot of debt from the bank, the factory is running smoothly.
In addition, by following Qiu Yuling's advice, priority is given to demobilized military personnel or their families when recruiting for positions, which has invisibly reduced a lot of social burden.
This shows that the strategy of encouraging private enterprises is effective and has triggered a wave of enthusiasm for starting companies.
In response to this trend, Zaohua Factory established a special overseas economic and trade company, not only to facilitate its own business, but also to be able to timely understand international market trends, collect information, establish business contacts, etc., to prepare for further investment and business expansion.
Relying on its own advantages in technology, equipment, talents and other aspects, Zaohua Factory has also actively participated in the construction of some large-scale domestic engineering projects.
In areas such as infrastructure construction and industrial project installation, we have accumulated certain experience and technical strength, and even in some special projects, we have gradually shown signs of participating in international competition.
That mysterious installation factory expanded again and again, built residential buildings again and again, and applied to be admitted as the Beijing Installation Engineering Technology College.
Sang Minli finally embarked on the long-awaited journey back to her hometown, but she was just an old friend who set up a stall.
