After lunch, she drew pictures while watching the child. Xie's mother and Li Ruiying knew that she was busy, so they didn't mind her and helped take care of the child.
Pan Yumei is also not working now. Xie Zhenghe doesn't let her go, saying that she is too tired these days and wants her to take a rest to recuperate. After Xia Xiuzhi feeds the pigs, she brings Ping'an, Xiaofang and Xiaoqin to Su Li's side. After a while, Pan Yumei also comes with Xiaodong and Xianglan.
Seeing them coming, Su Li stopped drawing, put away the papers and started playing with the children. Mother Xie took out candy and egg yolk cakes from the closet for the children to eat. Su Li heard that Mother Xie liked them, so she baked a lot.
Mother Xie was very happy, and felt that her daughter-in-law cared about her and paid attention to every little thing.
"Sister-in-law, I have discussed with your brother and we want to raise ten more pigs, so we have to expand the pigpen at home. I am asking my eldest brother and younger brother to help. They can also learn and raise pigs in the future. We have ten acres of land, and we can do it."
"That's right. I've discussed this with your eldest brother. He works at the brown sugar factory, but he also has to take over the hill. He talked to the village chief today. He'll ask the idle people in the village to help build the fence when they have time. They'll pay them. As for the land, our family will take over ten acres. The village chief asked us to take the lead."
The two felt very sweet in their hearts when they talked about this, because from now on, the public grain harvested would all belong to their family.
"Third sister-in-law, do you want to rent some land?"
"No, Xie Zhengchuan and I have never tended crops, and we don't know how to do it."
Li Ruiying hugged Jinghan and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not that bad. She has never worked in the fields since she was a child. Her father treated her like an eyeball. He let her rest after school and went to work after graduation. How could she farm? I'm afraid she doesn't even know what to plant in the fields at what time of year."
"Mom, please don't say it. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Hahaha..."
"Haha... I'm not afraid. Why should we be afraid of one of our own?"
Xia Xiuzhi suppressed her laughter and continued, "So what are you going to do, still write novels?"
"I still have to write novels. I used to write to make money. Later, Xie Zhengchuan actually told me about his case. I think the stories I write can help others. I think it's a job. But it's not just about writing novels. The children at home are gradually growing up. There are so many boys. When they grow up, they have to get married and start a family. I have already told Uncle Waishan that I plan to build a clothing factory."
"What?"
"What are you going to do?"
“What kind of factory?”
For a moment, several people stared at her with wide eyes, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Garment factory. I used to make clothes for my children at home. Everyone thought they looked good and wanted to buy them. I thought we should build a small garment factory and recruit a group of students. I have already contacted someone to buy sewing machines, but I have not decided on recruiting people yet."
Seeing how determined she was, they knew that she had already started doing it. Since the brown sugar factory was so prosperous, the garment factory would surely be able to do the same.
Li Ruiying frowned and said, "Ni, when did you become so many? I didn't even know it."
Su Li panicked for a moment, not looking into Li Ruiying's eyes. "Before I got married, I learned from an old tailor in the county. She also taught me how to draw. At that time, I wanted to wear foreign clothes all the time. After I got married, I had my clothes made by her. She gave all the originals to me. She went to Beijing with her son. I'm afraid she won't come back in the future."
Li Ruiying didn't doubt him, didn't she? Before, her daughter wanted to buy clothes every day, and she made so many and sent two big bags home. She didn't know how to live, or now, Jinghan in her arms hummed twice, and she hurriedly hugged and shook him, and had no time to care about Su Li.
Su Li took a deep breath, and then said to Xia Xiuzhi and Pan Yumei, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I thought you could come and help me if you don't have anything. Sister-in-law, your elder sister and elder sister can also come. When they learn how to use the sewing machine, I will give them wages. I also plan to let my sisters-in-law and nieces from my mother's side come. Feeding pigs and planting fruit trees at home is always physical work, and working in a garment factory is a little easier. If you are willing, I will give you two a 10% bonus each."
"How can we accept this? If you want us to help, just say so."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I definitely don't want it. You asked my elder sister and younger sister to come because you really want to help them. I know what's going on. Don't give me anything. I don't want it."
Xie's mother and Li Ruiying looked at each other, neither of them spoke.
Su Li waved her hand and said, "Listen to me, sisters-in-law. Although I am willing to do it, I am not sure what I can do. Giving you 10% is actually too little. In fact, I don't know how long I can stay here. Zhengchuan's position can be promoted later. When the children graduate from elementary school, I think they will go to the county or provincial capital to go to school. In the future, the garment factory will need you two sisters-in-law to take care of it."
The two hadn't thought about this factor, but when they thought about it, it was true. The third brother was a capable person and would definitely be promoted in the future. As a result, the couple would definitely not stay in Shanghe Village for long.
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law were silent, Mother Xie said, "Promise it, old family, old family, only if you agree will your brother and sister-in-law feel at ease."
"That's right, it's given by me. If you don't want it, just agree to it." Li Ruiying also said.
"Okay then, since my aunt and mother have said so, I will shamelessly take it."
"Sister-in-law, you are really a fool. I got these two things from you. I feel so guilty."
"Sister-in-law, please don't think like that. We are a family, and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. Since you came, our family has become so complete and happy."
Mother Xie coaxed the two children to agree: "Isn't it? Don't think so. You three sisters just need to remember what you said today. No matter how much money you make in the future, you are not allowed to have conflicts.
"Yes, mother."
"Don't worry, mother."
After the agreement was reached, Su Li asked Pan Yumei to send a message to her elder sister and younger sister, asking them to come home and learn how to sew on the sewing machine if they had time.
The blueprints for the garment factory had already been drawn up, and Su Li asked Li Waishan to find Tao Ren. They were acquaintances, and building a house was indeed easy, so he felt relieved to hand over the garment factory to them.
Tao Ren and his group of brothers were so happy, with such a big factory, he and his brothers would make a lot of money, and the most important thing was to take care of his family, and they would get the same treatment as last time, 80 cents a day, with one lunch. Xia Zhi was also called over, he also made 80 or 90 yuan last time, he gave 10 to his mother and saved the rest, he had to let Su Fang live a good life in the future.
With this in mind, they worked extra hard when building the garment factory. Su Fang and Su Lan also came here and helped Pan Yumei cook at noon. In the afternoon, they would go to Su Li's house to learn how to use the sewing machine. Also learning together were Su Li's four sisters-in-law, Pan Laidi and Pan Pandi.
Their families also contracted a lot of land. Originally, their mother-in-law wouldn't let them come home because there was a lot of work to do in the fields. Later, they said that they could work in a garment factory after graduation, and they told their families about Su Li's plan to build a brown sugar factory. Their families were very supportive.
In the hearts of most farmers, the working class is still respectable and desirable.
