The next day, Song Fuyu arrived at the studio at 8:15 and was the last one to arrive.
"You're all so early."
"I wanted to call you, but you didn't come out after I called you twice, so I went to open the door myself, but it turned out that Big Girl was there before me."
Seeing that she was carrying so many things, Liu Aihua quickly took some of them.
"What did you bring the thermos for?"
"I've filled a kettle with hot water and put it in front. If any of you want some water, come and get it."
"I asked the supply and marketing cooperative to bring a new kettle, which will not arrive until Monday. After the new one arrives, is there any problem if everyone takes turns to bring hot water once a day?"
"Of course, no problem. It's a piece of cake."
"You are really thoughtful. Before I came here, I was thinking about buying a thermos cup. Now I can save money."
"Mrs. Liu, please help me post the rules and regulations. Just post them by the door."
"Sister Big Girl, take these clothes and hang them on the rack. Everyone can choose a simple one first. After you choose, I will distribute the fabrics and other things."
"good."
"Sister Li Hua, the embroidery frame hasn't arrived yet, so you can help make clothes with me these few days."
"no problem."
Everyone was an experienced hand at making clothes, and once the work was assigned, everyone quickly got into work mode.
Some people from the family compound came to watch the fun. Wu Danniu was worried that they would affect everyone's work, so she moved a chair and sat at the door.
No one except those in the studio is allowed to enter or leave.
"Wu, please move aside. I want to go in."
"Go away, this is not the place for you to chat."
"Who said I'm here to chat? I'm here to find a job."
"you?"
Wu Danniu sneered.
"What can you do?"
"I'm here to make clothes, of course I'm here to make clothes!"
Wang Aixiang was originally very disdainful of what Song Fuyu had done, but when she saw so many sewing machines and so much fabric yesterday, her little thoughts gradually spread in her heart.
If she came to work, wouldn't she be able to monopolize the sewing machine? There should be some fabric for the workers, right? How could such a good thing be missed by Wang Aixiang?
She thought about it all night yesterday and decided that she had to come even if her archenemy Wu Danniu was there.
"You make clothes?"
"Ha ha!"
Wu Danniu seemed to have heard something funny and immediately laughed out loud, holding her stomach.
The people who were making clothes inside heard the conversation at the door and smiled at the same time.
"Don't be ridiculous. Look at the clothes you are wearing. The stitches... I can sew better than you with my eyes closed!"
"That's because I don't have a sewing machine. I can't do worse than you if I use one."
"oh?"
"So you came here to steal the sewing machine. I was wondering how a lazy guy like you, who normally can't even paste matchboxes, could suddenly want to find a job."
"I won't chat with you. Let me in. I want to talk to the Yan family."
"Don't even think about going in!"
"Wang Aixiang, your clothing-making skills are so poor, wait until you get better at it, and don't disturb us while we're working!"
"that is!"
"You should go back soon. We are only hiring people with good clothing making skills."
"You all just can't stand seeing me doing well!"
"You have no right to chase me away. I want to tell the Yan family."
Several people took turns to speak to Wang Aixiang, but she remained indifferent, so Song Fuyu had to stand up from the sewing machine.
"They are right. I am only hiring people who are good at making clothes."
"Weren't you also teaching Aunt Wu just now?"
She glanced at Wu Hong secretly and said in a low voice.
"She doesn't want a salary, can you?"
"If I come here every day, how can you not pay me? What's the difference between you and a capitalist?!"
"Wang Aixiang! If you can't speak, don't speak!"
Wu Danniu stood directly in front of Song Fuyu, separating her from Wang Aixiang.
"Big girl, it's okay."
"You can go now. I won't recruit you."
"Why did you recruit them and not me?"
"Because your clothes are not made well! Because I am the head of this studio!"
"I can learn."
"I don't have time to teach you! And I don't have any fabric for you to waste."
"There is also a garment factory in the city. If you want to find a job, go there. I don't lack people here."
"I'm going to report you!"
"what ever!"
She had all the necessary documents and had signed a contract with Commander Li. She acted upright and was not afraid at all.
"Okay, just wait for me!"
After saying that, Wang Aixiang left in a huff.
Song Fuyu almost failed to recover from the harsh words she said before she left.
People who often say things like "wait for me" are mostly paper tigers. They wait and wait... and then there is no follow-up.
"Don't be afraid, Fu Yu. She doesn't dare to really cause trouble."
"If she dares to report you, we can all testify for you, and I will sit in front of her house and scold her for a whole day and night."
"Thank you, I didn't take it seriously."
She would never hire someone like Wang Aixiang who was just looking for trouble, even if she really made good clothes.
It was almost written on her face that I wanted to take advantage of you.
She didn't want to have to keep an eye on her employees all the time in addition to her work, which would be exhausting.
As soon as Wang Aixiang left, Song Fuyu went back to continue thinking about the style of new clothes.
Thinking is much harder than doing.
"It's half past eleven. Let's go back and eat. Come back at 1:30 in the afternoon to continue working."
"It's different when you're busy. This morning went by so fast."
"How many have you made? I have very few, only three."
"I'm a little better than you. I made four."
"I have four too."
"No, I have to work hard at noon! I can't fall behind!"
Wu Danniu looked at their discussion with envy. She hadn't been able to make clothes these past few days. Alas...it was a huge loss just thinking about it.
On the way home, Song Fuyu and Liu Aihua walked together.
"Don't you need to pick up Xiaozheng?"
"No need, Tiantian will go over and bring him back after class."
"When do you and Yan Tuan plan to have a child?"
"Let's wait another year or two. My mother-in-law is a doctor. She said it's best for girls to have children after they turn 20, otherwise it's not good for the mother's body."
"Is there such a saying?"
"Several of my sisters-in-law gave birth to their children after they were 20 years old."
"Yeah, then I'll have to let Tiantian come later."
"Do you and Brother Li want to have children?"
"We both let nature take its course. We already have a son and a daughter. If we get pregnant, we'll give birth to the children. If we don't get pregnant, we won't regret it."
"I now realize that having too many children is not necessarily a good thing. Look at Da Niu and her husband. They have six children and the pressure is huge."
"People say that having more children will give you someone to rely on when you are old, but it is really hard when you are young. Especially when there is no one to help take care of the children, and six children quarreling together is a headache."
Suddenly I thought that it was not easy for Yan's mother either.
I also have to raise six children and work at the same time. Just thinking about it makes me tired.
“Isn’t your mother-in-law retired yet?”
"I will retire at the end of next year."
"If she can come and take care of your children in the future, you will be much more relaxed."
