Wang Xiu ran out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron, "Is it that batch?"
Realizing something, she quickly lowered her voice and asked very carefully, "Is it sold?"
Erhe nodded.
The two heads put together look very funny.
Wang Xiu was also very happy. "Then you can just give the wages to Li Xi. It's not easy for them, brother and sister. They will have a much better life with money. As for me, we are family anyway, so I will just consider it as helping you. There is no need to calculate it so clearly."
"Mom, how can this be? You've put in so much work, I can't let you do it for nothing. Let's go to the Li family."
Wang Xiu never mentioned Erhe. She took off her apron and handed it to He Zheng. "There's still chicken soup in the pot. You light the fire. Erhe and I are going to go out for a while."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out again affectionately.
He Zheng held the big green apron and said, "Okay."
The women in the He family have become successful, and the men have to buy groceries and cook at home.
No status!
Erhe and Wang Xiu went to Li's house together. Li Xi was resting in bed because of his foot surgery, and Li Dong was cooking dinner at home.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Let's have dinner at home."
"No, we're here to find Xiaoxi, you go ahead and do your thing."
After Erhe finished speaking, she went to Li Xi's room with Wang Xiu. The Li family often came here and were already very familiar with the place.
Li Xi leaned on the bed, her hands were not idle, she was making clothes. Although her legs were inconvenient, her hands were good and she could sew clothes stitch by stitch.
What I am sewing are autumn clothes and autumn trousers.
Seeing Erhe, she said, "I still have some fabric left. I figured I'd make one if I could since I have some free time."
This surgery in the provincial capital cost more than two hundred yuan, which drained the family savings. He also needs rehabilitation treatment later, and he doesn't know how much more it will cost. Li Xi thought it would be good to earn some money.
"Don't be busy working for now," Erhe guessed what she was thinking. The little girl was sensitive and kind-hearted. She still felt sorry for the medical expenses. Fortunately, her idea worked this time and she could finally help Li Xi and the others. Of course, without Li Xi, she would not be able to sustain her business.
Pulling a stool and sitting down, Erhe took out a notebook and a pen.
"Here, this is the record book for our autumn clothes and autumn trousers sales. I remember how many sets of clothes you brought in each time. There are a total of 1,000 sets. Li Xi made 433 sets, my mother made 270 sets, and I made 297 sets."
Li Xi does it day and night, so the quantity is the largest.
Wang Xiu had other things to do during the day, so she used her spare time to make clothes. However, she was very efficient, so she made a lot of clothes.
As for herself, just consider herself as someone who makes up the numbers.
"We're all family, so I won't hide it from you. The profit on a suit is 45 cents, which makes a total of 450 yuan. How about we pay by the piece?"
"Is it the same as earning work points by doing farm work? How much money will one work point be converted into when settling accounts at the end of the year?" Wang Xiu thought quickly. Although it was not the same thing, the principle was the same.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Erhe said, "But I can't sell it to you at 45 cents. I'll take a 10 cent profit on each piece of clothing. Do you agree?"
After all, it was she and He Zheng who contacted San Ye as a channel, and she had to run around and take risks, so it was impossible for her to give all the profits to others.
Then she would have worked in vain.
"Of course we should. If it weren't for Sister Erhe, we wouldn't be able to earn this much money," Li Xi added. "Sister Erhe, I have no objection to any of your allocations. Or you could just hire me and give me ten yuan a month, and I'd be very satisfied."
"That won't work. You're the backbone. When we grow bigger, you'll have to manage it. Your salary can't be reduced. That's it. I'll give you 35 cents profit on each piece. Mom, the same goes for you."
"I'll just forget it," Wang Xiu wondered how she could get paid for helping her daughter-in-law with some work.
"Yes, yes."
Erhe quickly calculated on the paper with a pen in hand, "Li Xi's total is 151.55, and my mother's... is 94.5."
“So much money?!!”
When they heard the number, Li Xi and Wang Xiu exclaimed at the same time. Neither of them expected there to be so many.
Erhe counted the money with a smile, "This one is for Li Xi, and this one, Mom, take it."
No one expected that in this simple room, the three women excitedly divided the first sum of money.
Not to mention Li Xi and Wang Xiu's excitement, Erhe was also quite satisfied.
All things are difficult at the beginning. Now that you have taken the first step, you will be able to follow it slowly.
"We must keep this matter secret."
Low-key, low-key, and low-key again.
Now is not the time to show off.
"Also, when the weather gets hotter, there might not be a market for autumn clothes and long johns. Then we can make simple sweatshirts and old men's shirts. Our conditions are limited now, so we won't bother making complicated clothes for now. We'll just make simple and easy-to-make clothes that won't be easy to make mistakes but will sell in large quantities. Even if the profit is a little smaller, we can still make some money by selling a lot."
Erhe told her plan.
Li Xi and Wang Xiu said, "We don't understand these things either. We'll just listen to you."
"OK."
Erhe took it all without hesitation.
After dividing the money and seeing that it was getting late, Erhe and Wang Xiu returned to the He family.
Li Dong was disappointed that he failed to invite them to dinner. But he felt relieved when he thought that if anything happened to the He family, he would be the first to help. Then he brought the food in to Li Xi.
"Brother, this is for you." Li Xi handed the money he had just received to Li Dong.
It was a full one hundred and fifty dollars, and she kept a small change for herself.
Li Dong counted the money and was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?"
"Brother, don't ask so many questions. After all, Sister Erhe treats me well. She always thinks of me when there are good things. Don't ask me. The money came from a good source. I spent a lot of money on my leg this time. Brother, keep this money."
"Are you stupid? I'm your brother, and it's my duty to take care of you!" Li Dong rubbed his sister's head. "I'm saving this money for you, and it will be your dowry when you get married."
"No, I'm saving this money to marry my sister-in-law."
Because of this money, the Li family feels that they have more hope and prospects for the future.
Wang Xiu had almost a hundred yuan in his pocket, and he felt both excited and complicated.
He earned nearly a hundred yuan in less than a month, so he would earn more than a thousand yuan in a year, right?
Well, just over a thousand yuan, that's all she has saved in her life of more than twenty years. This is because there are many people in the He family who earn money, and there is also the allowance from the eldest son.
"Erhe, give me a pinch."
Erhe was stunned for a moment, blinked, "Mom,"
"Come on, squeeze it hard,"
Wang Xiu held out her hand, and Naerhe was about to fulfill her wish, so she pinched the back of her hand.
Wang Xiu cried out, covering her mouth and laughing, "It hurts, I'm not dreaming."
"Yes, I didn't dream." Afraid that she still didn't believe it, Erhe took her arm and said, "Our family's life will get better and better!"
