The Xie family immediately expressed their gratitude to Qian Duoduo, who simply smiled and said it was nothing. Without lingering, he drove Qian Sheng and Li Dafa back to Beian Village. After dropping Li Dafa off at his home, Qian Duoduo drove to his own house.
On the way, Qian Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Duo Duo, does your company pay its employees this much?"
Qian Duoduo replied with a smile, "Dad, this is just based on the average wage level in Shangzhi County. The wages I pay in factories in Pengcheng and Yangzhou are even higher. In particular, in Yangzhou and Tuocheng, they implement a piece-rate wage system. Some workers who work well and fast can earn several thousand yuan a month!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sheng swallowed hard and asked curiously, "Then can you still make money?"
Qian Duoduo smiled, gripping the steering wheel, and said, "Dad, I pay them several hundred yuan a month, but the benefits they bring me are much more than just a few hundred yuan!"
After listening, Qian Sheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "As long as we don't lose money, that's fine."
Qian Duoduo laughed and continued, "I rented four production lines from two factories in Guangzhou, and four production lines from three factories in Tuocheng. Each production line needs about sixty or seventy employees. That means I have to spend tens of thousands of yuan every day I wake up. If I don't make money, how can I pay these people's salaries?"
Qian Sheng listened to his son's story with surprise and pride. He carefully stroked his clothes, as if trying to touch the success and pride through the fabric.
"So, the clothes you make are quite impressive!" Qian Sheng exclaimed.
Qian Duoduo smiled, her eyes sparkling with confidence: "Of course, this is our family's signature style. All the clothes in our family are custom-made, absolutely unique. As for those produced on factory production lines, they're just catering to the masses."
Qian Sheng asked curiously, "So where do you sell your clothes?"
Qian Duoduo skillfully parked the car and answered calmly, "Now my goods are sold in Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Changsha, and other places. Especially in Beijing, I have two stores, one of which specializes in wholesale, and the turnover speed is very fast. Dad, think about it, I can build a house in the county, investing hundreds of thousands of yuan in it, do you still worry about me not having money?"
Qian Sheng's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. Looking at his spirited daughter, he was filled with pride and emotion.
Qian Duoduo continued, "My business will get better and better in the future. I will not only sell clothes, but also have other businesses. I also want to contract all the fields in our village to develop agriculture. After all, I am a PhD in agronomy, and I can't let the results of my many years of study go to waste. Dad, believe me, our family's life will only get better and better in the future."
Qian Sheng nodded excitedly. He knew the old maid's hard work and talent, and was full of expectations for the future.
Back home, Qian Duoduo went inside to sit and rest. A short while later, she heard the clear sound of a bicycle bell outside, followed by her brother Qian Rao's voice.
"Little sister, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand!" Qian Rao complained to his sister as soon as he entered the door.
"Hmph, who knows when you'll be free?" Qian Duoduo rolled her eyes at him.
Qian Rao chuckled, revealing two white canine teeth, and said with a grin, "Oh, my dear sister, don't wrong me! I've just been busy! But speaking of which, I've been wanting to go home and see our parents for a long time."
Jin Jinxiu, standing to the side, chuckled inwardly at her glib-tongued youngest son. She knew perfectly well that this kid wasn't homesick at all; he clearly missed his wife. Sure enough, Qian Rao's shifty eyes never left Wen Yugui, which made Jin Jinxiu glare at him fiercely.
Then, Jin Jinxiu stood up and walked towards the kitchen. She went to the large iron pot in the kitchen and scooped out a few more ladles of water. Perhaps this water would come in handy tonight, she thought.
Wen Yugui naturally understood the enthusiasm in Qian Rao's eyes. She lowered her head somewhat shyly, picked up her daughter, and went back to her room to coax her to sleep. As for Qian Yibo, who had already grown up, he already had his own room and no longer needed his parents to worry about him.
After his wife left, Qian Rao could only sigh helplessly.
Last night was a passionate one for Qian Rao and Wen Yugui. Their intimate interactions filled the room with an air of ambiguity. They reveled in each other's warmth, seemingly forgetting the passage of time. However, after the passion subsided, they both fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until dawn.
The next morning, Qian Yibo got up and found his parents' room still quiet and still. He sighed softly, knowing they must have been exhausted the night before. So, he quietly went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Qian Yibo saw that his parents hadn't gotten up yet, so he picked up his schoolbag and went to school. As he passed his parents' room, he glanced at the closed door again, shook his head, and left home helplessly.
He first took his younger sister to his grandmother's room, handed her over to his grandmother to take care of, and said, "I'm going to school now, little sister, you have to listen to Grandma at home." After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the school.
Qian Duoduo smiled as she watched Qian Yibo's departing figure, gently reminding him, "Be careful!"
Upon hearing his aunt's words, Qian Yibo stopped and turned to stand in front of Qian Duoduo. With a confident smile on his face, he proudly said, "Auntie, look, I'm as tall as you now!"
Qian Duoduo looked at her nephew, who was still in elementary school, with eyes full of affection. She gently patted Qian Yibo's head and said with a smile, "Yes, my little nephew is growing so fast! Everyone in our family is tall, all thanks to our strong family genes. Look at your grandfather, even though he's already an old man, he's still 1.8 meters tall! So, you need to eat more and grow well, you'll definitely be taller than your grandfather in the future!"
Qian Yibo nodded happily after hearing his aunt's words, indicating that he understood. He waved goodbye to his aunt, but just before he was about to leave, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Auntie. Wait for me to come back. I have something I want to tell you. I have to go to school now, or I'll be late."
Although she didn't know what the little girl wanted to tell her, Qian Duoduo still enjoyed the family affection. When she was growing up, Qian Yixuan, that brat, looked mature and steady, and he was indeed worthy of being the eldest brother. He also took great care of Xiao Le Ran. It seemed that the Qian family's gene of doting on their younger sister was engraved in their bones.
