"Aunt Wu, Fu Yu, good morning."
"Good morning~"
"Mrs. Liu, Sister Big Girl, have you had breakfast?"
"We've eaten. Please stop worrying. We don't want to drink tea or anything."
Liu Aihua helped her sit on a chair and stopped her from doing any work.
"Hey, don't treat me like a porcelain doll. I took an X-ray when I was discharged from the hospital and I'm almost fully recovered. Otherwise, the doctor wouldn't have let me go back."
"No, you can't work yet."
"Before we came, your family's Yan Tuan specifically told us not to let you do any work. If he knew that you were running around for us, I guess we would be turned away by him like everyone else in the family compound."
"Don't listen to him, he's a little too worried."
Having said that, Song Fuyu still sat obediently on the chair.
It was obvious that the two of them, including Aunt Wu, were on the same front with Yan Ziyuan, with one main goal: to prevent her from working.
"No one is working overtime this week, right?"
"No more overtime. After what you said last week, everyone leaves work on time every day and no one dares to work overtime anymore."
It is indeed as Fu Yu said, after embroidering for more than ten hours from morning to night, my eyes really can't take it.
They do want to make money urgently, but it should not be based on harming their health.
After Liu Aihua and Wu Danniu returned from the hospital, they had a serious talk with other people the next day, and finally everyone agreed to leave work on time.
“Have you finished the worksheet?”
"The statistics are ready."
Liu Aihua handed Song Fuyu the registration book which recorded how many pieces of clothing everyone made every day, what they were and how much money they cost.
Currently, she is the only one who maintains this form. Originally, Song Fuyu intended for her and Wu Danniu to be responsible for the registration together, but unfortunately Danniu could not read a single word and now she can only barely recognize the numbers from one to ten.
"I counted the amount of clothes and money each person made last night. There's a total at the bottom of the paper. You can count it again."
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
She flipped through the pages one by one. Mrs. Liu's registration was very detailed.
"Is the clothing all checked?"
"Don't worry. Before registering every day, Sister Big Girl and I will check carefully. Whether there is a problem with the stitching or the buttons are sewn crookedly, we will return them and ask them to rework them."
"We are afraid there will be problems later, so we are currently placing the clothes made by each person separately and not putting them together. When you are better, you can go and check it carefully again."
"That's not so strict. With your abilities and carefulness, if both of you are fine after the examination, I'm sure I'll get the same result if I check again."
She trusts Mrs. Liu and Sister Da Niu very much. Of course, this trust is definitely not blind, but they are really worthy of it.
As team leaders, they are not only strict with the work of others, but are also extremely strict with themselves. They never use their status as team leaders to take advantage of loopholes and are both very upright people.
"I can't believe Sister Fang is so amazing."
He doesn't talk much, but he is so efficient.
From the beginning of her work, she earned a total of 42.6 yuan in 23 working days, including her overtime work. If she worked for a full month, her income could reach 50 yuan, which is higher than the income of ordinary factory workers.
"She is really amazing and works very hard. She has never had to rework this month."
After looking through everyone's work content and salary, she also calculated the total.
"The total salary for everyone this month is two hundred and forty-seven and thirty cents. I'll give you the money. I won't be going to the studio tomorrow. Please help me pay it."
Ziyuan would definitely not agree to let her go out, and she herself didn't want to go out at the moment, for fear of meeting other people in the family compound.
"Remember that those who receive the money must put their fingerprints behind their names."
She went back to her room, took out the money and gave it to Liu Aihua.
"Don't worry, we will all do as you request."
Liu Aihua's hands were shaking a little as he took so much money.
"Don't be so nervous, this is only the first month, you will all make more money in the future."
"I never thought I would have the opportunity to make so much money like this. Last month, I was even worried that the match factory would not give us the opportunity to outsource the paste of matchboxes one day."
"Me too. Although I only made a little over ten yuan this month, the happiness I felt was completely different from when I went to the match factory to settle my wages."
If we really go by Wu Danniu's ability in making clothes and how hard she works, she would definitely earn more money than Zhou Fang.
But her most important task now is to learn embroidery well and strive to earn more money in the future.
"Sister Big Girl, your current mission is the most difficult of all."
"Every day, you should not only work hard to practice embroidery, but also try to recognize the characters. Otherwise, some tasks that we want to entrust to you cannot be completed because you do not know the characters."
"My fourth child is in first grade. I study with him every night and try to learn to recognize Chinese characters as soon as possible."
"Then come on, I'm counting on you."
When it comes to learning to read, Wu Danniu gets a headache.
Wu Danniu was an expert at making clothes and doing housework. Even when she was doing farm work at home, she thought she was no worse than men. But she failed because of her difficulty in learning to read.
She had never thought that she would need to learn to read in her life. In the literacy classes organized by the village, she just went to fill in the numbers and chat with the students. Apart from numbers, she did not remember any of the Chinese characters taught by the teacher.
But now it’s different. She is the team leader of the studio. As a small leader, it is too embarrassing not to be able to read.
"Do you need to restock any fabrics?"
"Yes, we are running out of white lining cloth, and there is only one bolt left for the blue coat."
"Give me the notebook and pen."
Taking the notebook, she wrote a number of phone numbers on it.
"This is the office phone number of Zhao Da, deputy director of Qin City Garment Factory. You saw him last time he came here."
"Mrs. Liu, give him a call tomorrow and tell him if you need anything."
"By the way, please ask me how the cloth that I asked the textile factory to produce is progressing. If it has already been produced, ask him to arrange for some to be shipped over."
"Okay, I'll call him tomorrow morning."
