Saturday came in a blink of an eye. Lin Qiaoqiao finished writing the first manuscript and chose the newspaper to send it to. There were about seven or eight newspapers in the pile of old newspapers, and there were many submission addresses on them for the convenience of authors to send their manuscripts.
She kept a copy of the manuscript, so that if this newspaper did not accept it, she could submit it to another one. In short, she had to prepare for both situations and not put all her eggs in one basket. She just waited for Qin Fang to rest at home and take care of the children tomorrow, and then she rode her bicycle out to mail the manuscript. In order to travel conveniently, she learned to ride a bicycle these days, but the 28-bar bicycle was too big, and it was a bit difficult to get on it every time, but it was no problem to ride it out.
Two sets of clothes were also made, with the collars specially designed to be unique. The buttons were also carefully designed, so that even though the same fabric is everywhere on the street, it looks different when worn by others.
In order to prevent myself from rolling over in my sleep, I took a quilt and placed it between the two of us, which completely solved the problem.
When I woke up in the morning, I basically slept with the quilt in my arms, and nothing embarrassing ever happened.
After breakfast, I sorted out the clothes to be washed and waited for Zhang Caifeng to come and pick up the clothes.
We waited until after 9 o'clock when the person finally arrived.
After seeing the two finished sets of clothes, Zhang Caifeng was extremely satisfied and couldn't wait to try them on. They fit well and were very comfortable to wear.
The collar and cuff buttons were very unique, and it was the first time she saw them.
The same fabric gives a different feeling when worn. I was satisfied but felt that I paid too little. However, I only took 4 yuan before leaving.
"Qiao Qiao! You have such a skillful hand. I am so satisfied with this dress. I think the money I gave you is too little." He took out the money while speaking, "Next time I make clothes for you, I will definitely give you more!"
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't think 4 yuan was too little. You know, an adult can only earn a few yuan after working hard for a month, but she earned 4 yuan by making two sets of clothes. As long as the effort and income are proportional, she doesn't think she is at a disadvantage.
He took the money, counted it according to the rules, and then put it in his pocket.
"Auntie, if someone asks you where your clothes are made, you must tell them that I made them. If the man pays you a high wage, I can give you a share of the profits, but you can't say that out loud, or they will be very unhappy!"
Zhang Caifeng instantly understood that she could get more commission from the money, and immediately patted her chest and said,
"No problem. If someone asks, I will definitely recommend that she ask you to make her clothes. This 4 yuan is the minimum price. You know it, I know it, and heaven and earth know it."
Lin Qiaoqiao exchanged a few more words with her, then sent her away and took the two children to the creek to wash clothes.
When she reached the other side of the stream, she found that no one was washing clothes. This was convenient. She picked the best spot, took out the clothes and started washing them.
Qin Ling took Qin Chuchu to play with a pile of rocks not far away.
Not long after I got up, I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, I saw Li Guolin and seven or eight other children.
"Boss!" Li Guolin ran over and shouted.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Qiaoqiao did not stop her hands and continued washing clothes.
"School starts early and I have to go to school. It's so boring!" Li Guolin just passed by the stream and saw that person's back looked a bit like Lin Qiaoqiao, so he brought his brothers over.
"School is about to start?" Lin Qiaoqiao stopped what she was doing and asked, "Have you set a date?"
Li Guolin sat on a stone slab nearby. "School starts on Monday, but I'm so bored sitting there every day. I can't do anything except sleep! And then I can't fall asleep at night. How can life be so difficult? I'm obviously too old to go to elementary school, but I have to sit with sixth graders. It's enough!"
Lin Qiaoqiao was thinking at this time that Qin Ling should be sent to school for enlightenment. According to his actual age, he was delayed by a year by the original owner. However, this child is smart and can do well in self-study at home. According to his intelligence, he may be able to skip a grade in school! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, so she asked him,
“Who should I tell if I want to enroll my child in school?”
"Just take them there, and the teacher will register them and arrange classes based on the situation. To be honest, I've been in grade six for two years. It's all my fault for not studying well!" Li Guolin laughed. Only he knew the pain he had.
Because he was the oldest child in the class, he always felt particularly embarrassed.
"Then why don't you study hard? Is it your family that doesn't allow you to go to junior high school?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked.
Li Guolin shook his head. "It's not that my family didn't allow me to go to school, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the sixth grade for two consecutive years. I'm really stupid. Plus, I have to learn some things from scratch, and I don't think it's interesting, so I don't learn them."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Then why don't you take the exam and go to junior high school? Wouldn't that give you some motivation?"
Li Guolin, "I was born with no interest in studying. It doesn't matter where I study, so I don't want to work hard. I'll stop studying when my family can't stand it anymore. You're only a few years older than me, and if you don't need to study, why should I?"
"Because I'm married and have someone to support me, but you're a boy and you're not married yet. You'll have to earn money to support your wife and children in the future, so you're different from me, don't you understand?" Lin Qiaoqiao saw that the boy was ignorant about the future, "Li Guolin, do you want to be successful? Do you want to make a lot of money? Do you want to be the pride of the whole village?"
Li Guolin nodded, "I want to do all these things you said, but I don't know how to do them!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "You should study hard at your age now. You should not think that you are too old and out of tune with them. Instead, you should seize opportunities. As the old saying goes, good opportunities are for those who are prepared, not for those who take the initiative to give up opportunities.
You are still young now and think that your life is boring, but in a few years you will find out how important wasted time is! "
Li Guolin was thoughtful. No one had ever told him so much, or he had never thought about it so much.
Thinking that he is just 16 years old and 14 years old in years, he will get married and have children, and then stay in this rural area for the rest of his life. To put it bluntly, he will continue what his father did before him. It seems that his life has been wasted by him.
Li Guolin, "Then I'll go back and tell my family that I'm going to junior high school?"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Are you sure you can pass the exam?"
Li Guolin nodded, "Actually, I understand everything I learn."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Then you should ask your family to stop going to elementary school and go to junior high school!"
"Will it work?" Li Guolin was unsure. He knew that if he persisted for another one or two years, his family would not let him go to school, and then he would be completely free.
Lin Qiaoqiao, "How can you know if you don't try? You can use your actual actions to tell your family that you can get into junior high school!"
Li Guolin threw the stone in his hand into the water. "Okay, I'll confront my dad tonight! This is the only time I can decide whether it's okay or not!"
Lin Qiaoqiao looked at the other children and asked, "Are there any of you who are going to the first grade?"
Two children raised their hands.
"What are your names?"
"My name is Wang Hu!"
"My name is Goudan!"
The two children, one fat and one thin, are not very tall and their looks are very easy to remember.
