Chapter 151 A large number of sisters-in-law came
Today, the eight sisters-in-law from the Eagle Claw group came to Lin Qingqing's house early. In addition to coming to support the event, they also wanted to sign up themselves.
Early in the morning, Lin Qingqing and Xiaomei carried out a desk and placed it upright by the door.
At that time, Lin Qingqing sat behind the table, and those who wanted to sign up would line up at the door and she would record the numbers.
The yard was full of herbs drying in the sun, but there was no room for so many people to stand.
The sister-in-law from the compound came out for a stroll after breakfast and was the first to see the sister-in-law who was advertising at the door. After reading the content, she suddenly ran away.
The other sisters-in-law who saw the report also ran away in the same way.
When the soldiers in the army saw the notice, they reported it to the army and also went home to inform their wives.
The sister-in-law ran away not to sign up, but to inform herself that she was going to be a good military family member and that if something good happened, she had to go together.
So, almost at the same time, these sisters-in-law all ran to Lin Qingqing's house.
Standing at the door, Xiuhong saw a large group of sisters-in-law running towards her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Qingqing didn't know if her hands would become crippled after writing today, but her throat was so sore that it was smoking...
When everyone reached the door, she pointed to something on the wall and said, "Sisters, please read these military regulations first. If you have no problem reading them, then sign up."
Dozens of women crowded at the door, chattering, just like the aunties crowding in front of the counter at the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. The threshold was the counter and Lin Qingqing was the salesperson.
Fortunately, Lin Qingqing had the foresight to write the words in large letters so that her sister-in-law standing behind her could also see them.
When they saw that they had to give 20% to the troops and half to the managers, they had no objection.
In the army, they take care of children and do housework, so they have a lot of free time. If they can earn money without going out in the family compound, no matter how much it is, it will be extra money on top of the men's allowance. They can use it to buy meat, candy for the children, and clothes for themselves. Whatever they do is good.
This is not hard work and does not require much physical strength. It is easier than working in a factory.
A bunch of people get together and chat, and the work is done.
After looking at some of the sisters-in-law on display, I went to the door to sign up without any hesitation.
"I'll sign up."
"I want to sign up too."
"I'll sign up for one too."
Seven or eight people crowded together and shouted loudly to sign up. Lin Qingqing was not at all flustered. Sister Xiuhong was standing by the door and shouting.
"Please line up, we are all civilized people. Comrade Lin Qingqing said that we won't be able to register if we don't line up."
After hearing this, the sisters-in-law immediately lined up in an orderly manner. What a joke. They are military families and have a much higher level of awareness than ordinary people. They are not those uncultured and unreasonable people.
The sisters-in-law held their heads high and chests puffed out, looking completely different from the crazy and shouting people just now.
Lin Qingqing asked for registration information behind the table.
"Name, soldier, family member, age, whether he's been to school, tell me all of this."
"Zheng Xuanli, family member of Wang Shancheng, 34 years old, elementary school education."
Lin Qingqing finished writing it down with a rustling sound, then glanced at the next sister-in-law, who quickly spoke out her information.
"Zhou Fanglong, a relative of Tang Tingchong, 28 years old, junior high school education."
Lin Qingqing took notes slowly, while Xiuhong kept talking outside.
"Register and gather at the gate of the military compound the day after tomorrow.
After signing up, gather at the gate of the military compound the day after tomorrow.
After signing up, gather at the gate of the military compound the day after tomorrow."
she shouted to the crowd.
An older military family member asked, "Can I sign up if I can't read?"
Xiuhong: "As long as you don't have any serious illness, you can sign up. Even if you can't read, you don't need to know how to read to learn this."
Someone else asked, "Do we have to go to a state-owned pharmacy to buy this herbal medicine ourselves?"
Xiuhong pointed to the large characters on the sign and said, "Sister-in-law, please read carefully. We will contact the state-owned pharmacy and sell it in the county. Once you have the herbs ready, just wait for the payment."
This made the sisters-in-law laugh out loud. The meaning was so clear, but they still couldn't understand it.
Gradually, more and more people came, and the line stretched to the gate of the military compound.
Except for receiving relief supplies during the Chinese New Year, the troops had never seen the sisters-in-law in the military compound line up so willingly and in an orderly manner.
A soldier passing by saw the long human-shaped queue and went forward to ask out of curiosity. He found out that it was the sisters-in-law from the compound queuing up to sign up to learn herbal medicine, or it was the wife of Team Leader Song from the Eagle Claw Group who was teaching them.
The soldiers all praised Team Leader Song for marrying a good and knowledgeable wife.
The number of people gathering at Lin Qingqing's door increased instead of decreasing. Those sisters-in-law who had signed up did not leave and gathered at the door to discuss.
They even made an appointment for the first time to go to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy things after selling medicine. Some people were reluctant to buy anything before they planned to use the money to buy new things for their families, so they had a lot of arguments.
Lin Qingqing didn't need her to ask for any more information. She wouldn't pull those who hadn't registered over and ask them what to say. She just had to record it.
The sisters-in-law outside the door seemed to have endless questions to ask. Sister Xiuhong drank two teacups of water in just two hours, but still felt thirsty.
"Can we pick them all on the mountain?"
"The army has divided the area into sections, one for each household. When you learn well and can really make your own herbs, the army will issue you a number."
“How often do you sell it?”
"That depends on how much you get."
“Who is the manager?”
"I."
"Why isn't it Lin Qingqing? Didn't she teach us how to make herbal medicine?"
"Sister-in-law, you said she was a herbalist, how could she have so much time to take care of these things?"
The sister-in-law, who was squeezed at the door, saw that the yard was full of herbs drying in the sun, and Honghua and Xiaomei were busy handling the herbs. She wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by Xiuhong.
"With so many sisters-in-law coming in, the yard can't accommodate them all. People are busy. You will know what's going on if you do it yourself."
The sisters-in-law stopped in disappointment. The sun in the sky gradually grew higher, but the lingering sisters-in-law were reluctant to leave. Some of them even brought small stools from their homes to sit on.
By half past ten, there were still more than forty sisters-in-law waiting in line.
Lin Qingqing shouted to Xiuhong outside, "Xiuhong, it's too hot. Registration ends at 11:00 in the morning and will start again at 2:30 in the afternoon. Please tell the other sisters-in-law not to queue so long."
After hearing this, Sister Xiuhong counted fifteen sisters-in-law from the door to the back, and then asked the people behind to remember the people in front and behind and come back in the afternoon.
