Tian Hengyuan nodded, and immediately went to the garment factory with Tian Chengcheng, taking the clothes.
Upon learning of this, Liu Bin said, "For this type of damage to a single piece, you'll only be responsible for the price of that piece. It was my negligence in not explaining this clearly to you. However, if the damage is too severe and affects normal sales, you'll have to compensate for the price of the entire piece."
"I know, I know, Director Liu, thank you so much." Tian Hengyuan said excitedly.
"Are you being polite to me?" Liu Bin smiled and handed a suitcase to Tian Hengyuan. "Hengyuan, these are the old clothes your sister Wan sorted out. She said you can pick them out. Wear them if they fit, and it's up to you if they don't. Don't be disgusted. Your sister Wan didn't mean any harm. She just felt that the people in your village were having a hard time, and it just so happened that—"
Liu Bin blushed as he spoke.
After all, they were old clothes, and he was afraid that others would be suspicious and look down on him.
"Uncle Liu, thank you. We don't mind and we're very happy. The more the better."
Tian Chengcheng interrupted him, of course she understood his good intentions.
Moreover, the clothes they gave were all made of pure cotton. With a little modification, they would definitely be much better than the clothes worn by the villagers.
"Fubao, your idioms are getting more and more fluent. If you don't know me, you might be a college student."
Tian Chengcheng suddenly felt guilty.
"I've been reading a lot of idioms lately, so I want to put them into practice. Uncle Liu, please don't laugh at me if I say anything wrong."
"How could that be? You said it very well." Liu Bin smiled.
Tian Hengyuan said, "Director Liu, our village's batch of goods is almost finished. We can send a truck to replace it with a new batch now."
"Thread trimming is just basic work, and you don't earn much money. Skill is the key to making money," Liu Bin said, picking up a booklet from the table. "Take a look. These are some embroidery samples I just received, and they need to be done by hand. We don't have any suitable workers right now, and because the orders are urgent, the production line workers have to keep going, so I wanted to ask if you're interested."
Tian Chengcheng took a look and found that they were all very simple patterns, basically letters.
But she also knew that embroidery required skills that most people couldn't do.
"Uncle Liu, if a novice is learning, how long will it take to learn?" Tian Chengcheng asked.
Liu Bin is right, life will be much better if you have a skill.
"It's hard to say. Some people learn quickly and can master it in a day or two. However, this kind of craft still requires a lot of practice. Most people need to learn for a year or two before they can make a truly good product."
A year or two?
It takes too long.
Tian Chengcheng didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, everyone couldn't eat now, so they just wanted to fill their stomachs first.
"Uncle Liu, can I take this back? Talk to the village chief and ask if there's anyone in the village who knows how to embroider. If not, can you find an embroidery master to teach them in the village?"
"Take it home and have a look first. The master has no problem with it, but this kind of craft requires practice, so you might not get much money in the early stages."
"Okay." Tian Chengcheng agreed readily, put the booklet away and handed it to Tian Hengyuan.
After loading a truck with new goods, Tian Chengcheng followed the truck back to Wangshan Village.
There was a special person in charge of the handover. Tian Chengcheng and Tian Hengyuan took the booklet to the village chief and told him about the embroidery.
The village chief was also in a difficult situation. He wanted to make a lot of money, but the situation was like this.
"How about this? I'll go ask on the loudspeaker first to see if there's anyone who can embroider. There are a few elderly people in our village who might be able to. In the past, families were poor, and many relied on this kind of handicraft to earn a living. Many girls can do it."
After the village chief finished speaking, he turned on the village loudspeaker and asked if anyone knew how to embroider. Those who knew could come to the village committee to register.
After Guo Hongchang and Tian Fuhua finished the handover, they came over and asked what happened?
The village chief explained the situation to them.
Guo Hongchang took the booklet and looked at it, then said, "My mother can embroider, but she hasn't done it for many years. I don't know if she still knows how to do it."
"Great!" The village chief was very excited. "Hongchang, go ask my sister-in-law. If you really know how to do it, you can practice it."
Having a foundation is always better than being a novice.
Guo Hongchang was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong? Just tell us what difficulties you have and we will find a way to solve it."
"Village chief, you know that my father and mother are not from a good background. They have suffered a lot over the years. Now they just want to live in peace. They may not be willing to do something like this."
Tian Chengcheng tried hard to recall. The book didn't say much about Guo Hongchang's parents, only that they were intellectuals from a big city.
There is no introduction to the details, but later Guo Hongchang married Li Qiuju's cousin, and his mother was directly angered to death by that woman.
"Uncle Guo, can you take me to meet your parents?"
Tian Chengcheng blinked her big eyes, her face full of sincerity.
Guo Hongchang hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, I'll take you there. They often hear me talk about you and are quite curious about you."
The village chief originally wanted to go, but was stopped by Tian Chengcheng.
"Grandpa Village Chief, you take charge of the situation here. I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'm at ease letting Fubao do the work." The village chief looked at Tian Chengcheng with eyes full of anticipation.
As the village chief, he knows the Guo family's affairs better than anyone else.
The couple has been living a peaceful life since they came to the village, and they never complain even when living in a cowshed.
Later, the cowshed was gone, so they provided a place for the three of them to stay in a small hut next to it. Apart from working, the couple almost never went out.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Tian Chengcheng followed Guo Hongchang to Guo's house and was shocked by the scene before her.
Is this a place where people can live?
The two huts were made of wood, and although they had been re-boarded in many places, they were still rickety. The windows and other parts were covered with plastic sheeting. Next to them was a shed made of ten pieces of wood. Inside was a mud stove and a broken water tank.
The huge yard was quiet and there were no livestock or poultry.
When the wind blows, the plastics rustle.
So desolate!
After such a comparison, Tian Chengcheng suddenly felt that the conditions of the Tian family's old house were much better, at least it looked like a home.
"Uncle Guo, are you sure this is your home?"
Guo Hongchang's face flushed slightly. "After our family came here, we first lived in a cowshed, and then we moved here. This is much better than the cowshed."
"Uncle Guo, we've already had reform and opening up, and the old ways are long gone. The whole country supports filing a petition to appeal your status, so why aren't you doing it?"
"My parents are very stubborn, especially my dad. He has suffered a lot over the years and he is already disheartened."
