199 The charm of making money on your own
Xiang Nanfei was so hot that he hid in the shed after practicing driving.
This is the reward he gets because he has practiced well.
The other big brothers were scolded badly, but they still had to stand on the training ground and continue watching other students practice.
Master He is very strict with his rules, so it’s good enough that I didn’t get punished by standing in the corner.
When Gao Qinghe has her period, she is the first one to take the steering wheel every day. She just goes around for two laps and then gets off.
Master He knew that she had another famous teacher, so he asked her more questions.
Gao Qinghe is a know-it-all when it comes to cars, and even Master He wants to be her apprentice.
Fortunately, the driving school has a process, otherwise Gao Qinghe would have taken the test, got his license and left, and he would not have had the chance to learn from them.
Under everyone's envious gaze, Xiangnan flew to the shed.
Gao Qinghe was the only student sitting here, reciting materials.
Xiang Nanfei felt that being the second one was not bad either.
He sat down next to Gao Qinghe with a smile, picked up the hat she placed on the back of the chair in a familiar manner, asked her where she bought the hat, and brought one for him.
"Can I try it?"
Gao Qinghe took it away and looked at his sweaty forehead with disdain, "No."
Xiang Nanfei was embarrassed. "Then can you buy me one of the general ones? Do you have other patterns? Your floral one is too feminine."
Gao Qinghe said casually: "Okay, give me ten dollars."
"Ten dollars?" Xiang Nanfei was shocked. It was really expensive.
But he could still afford it.
He readily took out ten yuan and handed it to Gao Qinghe, "I want it tomorrow, okay?"
Gao Qinghe was stunned. Is there really a grudge?
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
If you don't make money, you are a bastard.
Gao Qinghe accepted the money and finished his driving school in the afternoon. He immediately asked Huang Yanqiu to accompany him to the county market to buy two straw hats and a piece of blue cloth.
A straw hat, two yuan each.
The blue cloth costs 2.5 yuan per meter, and the width is 1.5 meters. There is still some left after making two hats with one meter.
The total cost of one hat is only about three yuan.
Huang Yanqiu said: "Xiang Nanfei is a fool."
Gao Qinghe: "I just like this kind of idiot, making a killing of seven dollars."
Of course, she would still give her mother-in-law two dollars for labor.
Jiang Baohai didn't go home for dinner today. Gao Qinghe received a call in advance and finished his meal with Jiang's mother at 6:30 in the afternoon.
Gao Qinghe placed the fabric for the straw hat and two dollars on the sofa, gave some instructions, and went out for a walk to help digest his food.
As soon as I went out, I met my third aunt Qian Qiaolan and her ten-year-old son who were coming back from the village store after buying things.
When the two sides met, Qian Qiaolan protected her child and moved to the side of the road, and deliberately blocked the snacks bought by the child, as if Gao Qinghe would snatch them away.
Gao Qinghe snorted and strode over.
Jiang Ziqiang squeezed his head out, laughed and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Gao Qinghe recognized him when he heard the shout.
This guy is the cousin of Jiang Baohai who came to find a wife nine years later because he had no house to live in.
Qian Qiaolan was so angry that she twisted her son's ear and walked home.
Gao Qinghe responded with an "ah". Children with sweet words are always liked by others.
I just don't know why he ended up marrying an unreasonable and spiteful wife.
When Gao Qinghe returned home after a stroll, Jiang's mother was already operating the sewing machine in the house.
Hearing the noise, Jiang's mother asked, "What about the two dollars?"
"Here's your hard work fee." Gao Qinghe turned on the TV and said while lying on the sofa.
Jiang's mother curled her lips and asked curiously, "Who did you prepare this hat for?"
It was just a matter of pressing the thread. She only made one in ten minutes, but she felt a little embarrassed to take two dollars for it.
Gao Qinghe: "Friends."
Jiang's mother said "oh" and stopped asking.
It didn't take long before the finished sun hat and remaining fabric were taken out and placed on the coffee table.
"Take these two dollars back. We're a family and we're still talking about money. Ah Fu might say something if he finds out."
Gao Qinghe only took a look at the finished sun hat, which was very good, and waved his hand and said:
“It’s given by others, not by me.”
Only then did Jiang's mother suppress her joy.
She doesn't watch TV much, mainly because she can't understand the people speaking Mandarin, and she can't recognize the words or understand the subtitles.
After sitting in the living room for a while, I was about to go back to my room. Before leaving, I said softly:
"If you have friends who want to make hats, I won't charge you."
Gao Qinghe found it funny. She actually thought that there weren't so many idiots like Xiang Nanfei.
However, what Gao Qinghe did not expect was that she had attracted the attention of many women in the village by wearing a sun hat on her head every day when she went out.
Gao Qinghe is beautiful and has been the gossip hotspot in Zhaozhuang recently. People are watching her every move.
Seeing her wearing a hat that covered herself tightly, someone came to Jiang's house to ask her what she was doing.
Jiang's mother didn't quite understand either, so she mumbled, "They say it blocks the sun and keeps away mosquitoes."
When this person heard this, he thought, “What’s so wonderful about this?”
When I got home, I took apart my old clothes and learned how to sew them onto straw hats, which I then wore to work in the fields.
What's more, my neck won't be exposed to the sun when I bend over. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the fields, and after a busy morning, there is not a single bump on my neck or face.
It just doesn’t feel as comfortable as the one Gao Qinghe wears on his head.
He came to Jiang's mother again and asked how to make her feel comfortable.
Jiang's mother thought it was just a few pieces of cloth put together, no big deal.
Just as he was about to tell me the secret, Gao Qinghe, who was watching TV in the room, came out.
"Mom, is this how you're going to talk about your ancestral tailoring skills?"
She spoke in a joking tone, and the visitor understood.
He handed the hat over and said, "Sister-in-law, can you alter it for me? I'll give you a dollar, okay?"
When Jiang's mother saw the look in her daughter-in-law's eyes, she agreed guiltily.
Let someone watch TV outside and wait while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go back to the house.
Jiang's mother didn't think much about it and finished the modification in a few minutes, and even added half of the remaining blue fabric.
It was only a matter of five minutes, but Gao Qinghe insisted that she wait half an hour before giving it to the villager.
When people think about it, they realize that it only took half an hour to modify it, and the modified version is very comfortable to wear, covers all parts of the face, and no longer squeezes the neck, so they feel that the dollar is well spent.
Zhaozhuang is not big, so any new news can spread out within a meal time.
The next day, Gao Qinghe came back from driving school. Before he even entered the yard, he heard a burst of lively conversation coming from the yard.
When I walked in, I saw that everyone was asking Jiang's mother to make sun hats with their own straw hats and old fabrics.
They originally just saw Gao Qinghe wearing that thing and thought it was novel.
I borrowed the hat from last night this morning and it feels great when I put it on.
It won’t do if others have it and I don’t!
So they all gathered together to find Jiang's mother.
A bunch of people left in the commotion. Jiang's mother looked at the straw hats and old cloths scattered all over the sofa, as well as the money in her hand, and couldn't help but smile.
"Twelve dollars, that'll make twelve dollars, and I can do it all in one night."
Jiang's mother repeatedly showed off her twelve yuan to Gao Qinghe, and was as happy as a college student who had just entered society and received her first salary.
Gao Qinghe nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
See, this is the charm of making money by yourself, no one can resist it.
