Chapter 165 It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish
After dinner, Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan sat on the kang to discuss matters concerning their children.
Xu Yue'e also sat by the side, holding her child, listening. She repeated over and over again: "What I eat will also be eaten by this child. Whoever wants to send this child away will fight to the death!"
"Second sister-in-law, no one is sending the child away, so you can just raise him with peace of mind." Chen Guilan calmed down after being happy. It is true that raising a child is not a trivial matter, and many things need to be changed.
Since she also supports keeping the child, she has to help give some advice: "Second brother, if you are too busy, please help me rent out my three acres of land. The main reason is that I can't come back often."
More and more people from the village are going out to work.
Some can come back to farm, while others simply rent out their land to others for 200 yuan per mu.
"Don't worry about that little bit of land. I won't go out to work, I can grow it all." Chen Guisheng has been working with the land for most of his life. He feels full of energy as soon as he goes to the fields. He is reluctant to give up every inch of land. "I was thinking of planting some more land that others don't cultivate!"
When it comes to farming, there are no big spaces, but there are plenty of small spaces.
That is, he doesn't feel tired even though he is busy for a while during the autumn harvest.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan were also sitting nearby, listening. Chen Juan interrupted, "Dad, don't work too hard. Just plant the land you have now. Once my sister gets her household registration, she'll have her own land."
"I had forgotten about this." Chen Guisheng looked at his little daughter in her cradle and said to Xu Yue'e, "Since you have decided to raise the child yourself, you should quickly give the child a name and register him/her so that the land can be divided as soon as possible."
"Brother, pick a name!" Chen Guilan suggested. Chen Juan whispered to Su Jiaojiao, "Help the little sister pick a name quickly."
"Let my second uncle take it!" Su Jiaojiao is a junior and cannot take the lead.
"How about calling her Sui Sui?" Chen Guisheng had actually thought of this long ago. "I don't expect her to repay me for raising her when she grows up. I just hope she has food in her life and won't be cold or hungry."
"Sui Sui, Chen Sui, that sounds nice." Chen Guilan was the first to respond, saying to Chen Juan, "Originally, when you were born, your father wanted you to be called Sui Sui. The name Chen Juan was given to you by your uncle."
"My uncle really is involved in everything." This was the first time Su Jiaojiao had heard of this. She still didn't understand what was going on in Chen Guichang's mind. He didn't interact with her on a regular basis, yet he was meddling in all this. She couldn't help but ask Chen Guilan, "Who gave me my name?"
"It was your grandmother and your aunt, or rather your aunt. They said the reduplication of the word was nice and didn't sound too rustic," Chen Guilan replied. "Your aunt gave you this name in the hope that we would have another brother."
Su Jiaojiao stopped talking.
"Actually, your name is quite nice." Chen Juan added, "Unlike me, many people are called Juan. It would be better to call you Sui Sui."
Sui Sui, Chen Sui.
May you live a smooth, peaceful and happy life.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Suisui lay on the kang and slept soundly, smacking her lips from time to time, as if she was savoring the taste of sweet milk powder.
What she didn't know was that her fate had changed and from then on she was the child of this family.
Her fate will be linked to that of this family, whether sweet or painful.
She was unfortunate and abandoned by her biological parents.
She is also lucky to have met such a kind family.
Her adoptive parents, who are no longer young, have a deep and simple love for her, so simple that they only hope that she will have enough food and clothing in the future.
It is easy to keep the small spikelets and it is also easy to register them.
The difficulty is how to raise her.
As Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e grew older year by year, most of the pressure still fell on Chen Juan.
Chen Juan was only nineteen years old. In addition to helping her father with work and taking care of her sick mother, she also had to bear the burden of raising her younger sister.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Su Jiaojiao then told Chen Juan about her idea: "Sister, it's impossible for you to go out to work now. Why not make some money by making clothes at home? You don't have to worry about the machinery and equipment. I'll take care of it. You just need to be willing to do it."
"That's great, how do we do it?" Chen Juan became interested.
"Yes, yes, let's make clothes, and we can help each other." Chen Guilan also thought this was a good idea. She was now half an expert, and she knew the process of making clothes. The clothing factory was very busy and couldn't handle all the orders.
"I'll provide you with machinery and equipment, design clothing styles, and you can make the clothes at home. I'll be responsible for sales. After deducting the costs, that's your profit. I don't want a cent. As for the machinery and equipment, you can give it to me when you have money."
Su Jiaojiao just wanted to help Chen Juan, not cooperate with her. She knew what was easy to sell and what was not.
"How can that be?" Chen Juan knew Su Jiaojiao wanted to help her, but she couldn't accept it. In front of Chen Guilan and Chen Guisheng, she also made her position clear, "I'm willing to make clothes at home, but if Jiaojiao helps me with equipment and sales, it must be at least 40% and 60% of the profits. I get 40% and Jiaojiao gets 60%. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Otherwise, I will feel guilty."
"Juan, you don't have to think too much. You are in trouble now. If we don't help, who will?" Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao had the same idea. They had money in their hands and didn't care about this small profit.
"Guilan, Jiaojiao, I know you mean well, but we can't do this."
Chen Guisheng also understood: "Speaking of which, it's even harder for you out there, and we can't always rely on you for support. Since we're going to do this, we have to be clear from the beginning. We don't know much about clothing, and since you do, you should just put in more effort and help Chen Juan set up the stall."
"But we paid for the machinery and equipment ourselves, and let Chen Juan sell the clothes herself. She will figure out the market price herself."
"Yes!" Chen Juan nodded and said to Su Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I know you don't want me to show my face in public selling clothes, but you can help me temporarily, but you can't help me forever. I can't rely on you for everything. I have to stand on my own. If I really can't do it, it won't be too late for you and aunt to help me."
The mother and daughter still live in a rented house in the snack street, which makes her sad.
How could she bear to let them help her?
Besides, it was Xiao Suisui that her father and mother decided to raise.
Any burden should be borne by them and should not be passed on to Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao. They are having a hard time too.
"Okay, then let's do as you and Second Uncle wish." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to argue with them, so she said simply, "We only need two machines: an electric sewing machine, a five-thread overlock machine, and a cutting machine. We don't need new ones, used ones will do."
"The Jiali Garment Factory has some second-hand electric sewing machines and discarded cutting machines. We can just buy them from them." Chen Guilan knew all this and said to Su Jiaojiao, "I'll ask Director Huang tomorrow and then find a car to bring them back."
The garment factory would add some new electric sewing machines every once in a while, and the old ones would be moved to the warehouse.
So that you can get parts when repairing other sewing machines.
But also open for takeout.
"As for the fabric, we can buy it from the Mocheng Clothing Wholesale Market, which will be cheaper." Speaking of this, Su Jiaojiao missed Ju Peijun very much. If he were here, these would not be a problem at all.
"Guilan, just tell us how much money you need. If we don't have enough money, you can lend us some first." Chen Guisheng supported Chen Juan in making clothes at home and was willing to pay for the equipment.
He is a farmer and he doesn't understand investment, but he knows that if he wants to farm, he must first buy a hoe and fertilizer. It all makes sense.
"That's settled then." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect her second uncle to be so open-minded. She said to Chen Juan, "We'll send the equipment back tomorrow afternoon. You just need to clear out a room at home."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Chen Juan felt excited when she heard that.
For her, being able to take care of the family and earn some money at the same time is the best thing.
She knew that she would definitely make money by following Su Jiaojiao.
