When asked about setting up a garment factory, Zhang Caifeng sighed:
"In the final analysis, it's still a matter of money. The brigade doesn't have much money, and the cooperative won't support us in setting up a factory. They say the country has suffered a great disaster recently and food is in short supply. We should focus on agriculture, not setting up a factory. So the cooperative won't support us at all.
The reason for setting up this factory is that you got some money from Shanghai last time. After paying the wages and other things, there was still 2,000 yuan left. I bought shares as assets of our production team. There is nothing else left.
"So, what should I do with the factory in this situation? A sewing machine costs at least 200 yuan. How can I buy several sewing machines for 2,000 yuan? What about the cloth? What about the employees' salaries? I don't have the money to solve all these problems. That's why I'm worried!"
Yu Sui: "Aunt, you need to change your mindset. You only have so little money, why invest it all in equipment? Instead of buying a sewing machine, you can hire someone who has one at home. They can use their sewing machine as a share, and that way you can save money on the equipment!"
Zhang Caifeng slapped her thigh:
"Oh, why didn't I think of this idea! Oh, little Yu Sui, you are so capable and smart. What would I do without you? Oh, great, I will tell the secretary about this right away. In this way, we can set up a factory right away! Hey, Yu Sui, please tell me what kind of clothes we should make?"
Yu Sui shrugged. "You're still asking me this? I'm making clothes for you. What piece of clothing can't be sold?"
Zhang Caifeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged Yu Sui: "Hey, little Yu Sui, tell me the truth, when you do tailoring at home, you are actually helping me, right?"
Yu Sui nodded: "I guess so. Last time I instigated you to start a factory, you were detained for several months. Now that you are starting a factory again, I will definitely help you."
"You...you're so nice! Yu Sui!"
"I'm not that good either. In fact, I just hope that you can lead our production team to prosperity. Otherwise, if I become rich one day, they will be dissatisfied."
Zhang Caifeng laughed heartily. "Xiao Yusui, I love it when you talk like this. Listening to you speak like this, it's as if I can see that you will definitely be rich in the future. Come on, don't worry, I will work hard to run this factory well."
Yu Sui: "Don't worry, I will work hard to become rich."
"Hahaha!"
The two women's laughter echoed over the mountain village.
The days passed one by one in this way, finding joy in suffering.
Yu Sui made clothes every day and wrote letters to Xia Linsheng, feeling peaceful and relaxed.
Zhang Caifeng worked hard every day and actually managed to keep the brigade's garment factory going.
In order to repay Yu Sui for her help many times, Zhang Caifeng has always wanted to do something for Yu Sui's family.
One day in October, Zhang Caifeng went out of her way to find someone to mow the grass and pick the remaining seedlings:
"He Miao, the brigade's garment factory is hiring, and one of our requirements is that you must own a sewing machine. It just so happens that you're the only one in our three teams who has one, so I'm recommending you. That way, others won't have to say anything. Are you willing to come?"
Yu Hemiao was overjoyed and nodded immediately, "I'm willing! If the factory wants me, I'll start working tomorrow!"
Seeing her so happy, Zhang Caifeng felt that she had helped Yu Sui's family, so she was also very happy: "Then you must ask your family to help you deliver the sewing machine to the brigade headquarters tomorrow."
Yu He didn't even bother to cut the weeds anymore, so he picked up the bamboo basket and ran home.
Seeing Yu Sui sitting in the yard leisurely reading a book, she jumped over and said happily, "Second sister, do you know who I just met? Zhang Caifeng! She said I can work in the garment factory tomorrow. That's great! I can go to the factory again. Second sister, can you lend me your sewing machine? I'll give you half of the wages I earn!"
Yu Sui raised her head from the book and gave Yu Hemiao a faint smile: "No."
Yu Hemiao couldn't figure out the answer at all. He just stood there in a daze, speechless.
She couldn't believe that Yu Sui would say such a thing.
Although Yu Sui was very good at making clothes, the village was poor after all. At the beginning, everyone came to Yu Sui to make clothes, but after a few months, everyone had no cloth coupons and no money, so fewer people came to Yu Sui to make clothes. Most of the time, Yu Sui only made clothes for his family. Why couldn't they lend money?
Second sister is not a stingy person!
Yu Hemiao thought Yu Sui was joking and pushed her with a smile:
"Second sister, stop being naughty. Seriously, the family needs someone to earn money. Even though Xia Linsheng sends you wages, you can't just leave that money in our house. If I get a job, I'll buy rice and meat for the family in the future, okay?"
But Yu Sui raised her head and asked seriously, "Sister, if I don't lend you the sewing machine, will you hate me from now on?"
Yu Hemiao stopped pushing Yu Sui's hand.
She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Yu Sui in surprise, trying to confirm whether Yu Sui was joking.
After confirming that Yu Sui was not joking, Yu Hemiao bit her lip, and simply moved a chair over and sat down next to Yu Sui:
"Second sister, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind? If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't. After all, the sewing machine is yours. But why are you talking about whether you hate it or not? Did Xia Linsheng write something about you in the letter? If there's anything that makes you unhappy, tell me."
Yu Sui was also observing Yu Hemiao.
When she was sure that Yu Hemiao was not angry, she couldn't help but take Yu Hemiao's arm:
"Sister, I really don't want to lend it to you. If this happens, you won't be able to work in the factory. Aren't you really angry?"
Yu Hemiao reached out and smoothed down the loose hair on Yu Sui's cheek:
"If someone else did this, I'd probably be angry, but what right do I have to do that to you? You saved my sister's life, and it was you who snatched Guoguo from the old witch of the Jiang family. It was you who spoke up for me so that I could return to my parents' home and live a life without having to worry about other people's faces.
Let's not talk about these distant things. Let's just talk about this morning. Didn't you secretly hide an egg for me to eat? Not to mention not going to work, even if I had a gold bar now and you took it, I wouldn't be angry with you. I am worried about you. You can even ask for my wages in Shanghai, but you won't lend me a sewing machine. It's definitely not stingy, so what happened?"
Yu Sui smiled sincerely.
Yu Hemiao is such a nice sister.
God let her travel through time and space to the original owner, definitely not to torture her, but to let her feel the warmth of family.
Yu Sui stuffed the book in her hand into Yu Hemiao's hand and said, "Sister, look, what book am I reading?"
"'Bonsai: A Guide to Making'? What is a bonsai?"
"Bonsai is a work of art that uses rocks and plants placed in a small environment to express oneself."
"Artwork? Second sister, do you like these?"
"Yeah, I like anything that's valuable."
