The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 297: Land is the life of the old family

On this day, Xiao Baoer was looking at two design drawings she had just drawn with Shen Xiuxiu, trying to choose one to put into production next week.

"Third sister-in-law, I think this skirt can be produced first. Look at this set. The short-sleeved shirt and cropped shorts you designed are not wearable in this weather. After the popularity of this skirt has passed, this set can be produced again."

Xiao Baoer looked at the two drawings carefully again. She had originally thought that the recent designs were all skirts and wanted to change the style, but then she thought that what Xiuxiu said made sense.

"Then let's produce a portion of this skirt first and see if your third brother is willing to sell it abroad. After your third brother sells it abroad once and listens to the response, we can start mass production."

"I think it's OK. It will definitely sell well. Your dress is very beautifully designed. It would be even more beautiful if it were bright yellow or sky blue."

Xiao Baoer didn't expect Shen Xiuxiu to have such an idea. When she designed it, she did plan to use light yellow, sky blue and cyan fabrics to make this skirt.

"Xiu Xiu, you like looking at design drawings, right?"

Shin Soo Soo admitted a little embarrassedly, "Yes, but I don't have the talent and ability like you, Sister-in-law. I just like to draw beautiful clothes."

"Little girl, as long as you like these, you can do well. If you want to learn, I'll ask your third brother to bring you some books to read."

"Okay, thank you, Third Sister-in-law," Shin Soo-so thanked happily.

Since Shen Xiuxiu has this idea, it couldn't be better. In the future, the clothing factory will definitely not be limited to the village. With the development of the times, Xiao Baoer will also recruit some fashion designers. If Shen Xiuxiu can be responsible for this, it will save Xiao Baoer a lot of trouble.

"Zhensheng's wife, you are at home," Shen Yongfu walked in with his hands behind his back.

Shen Xiuxiu handed him a stool and said, "Uncle, please sit down and have a cup of tea. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Yongfu drank a glass of water and said, "Uncle, let me be frank. Our village has started to rush to harvest and plant. I see that the weather is not good, and I am afraid that we will not be able to harvest all the grain. I was thinking whether we can ask the women comrades in the factory to work in the fields for a few days? Let's rush to harvest the grain first."

"Uncle, there is no rush for the goods now. The factory has some stock. I will go back to the factory and tell them to go to the fields tomorrow and bring the grain home first. Grain is the lifeblood of our villagers."

Shen Yongfu said as if relieved, "Okay, okay, then tomorrow everyone can just get the tasks and farm tools and go to work as before."

After Shen Yongfu left, Shen Xiuxiu asked Xiao Baoer, "Third sister-in-law, if we let the workers go to work in the fields, we won't be able to launch new styles next week."

"It's okay. Food is important. Although workers can earn money with their skills now, food is also important to them. Land is the life of the people."

In the afternoon, when the workers were working, Xiao Baoer and Shen Xiuxiu pushed their children to the factory. Aunt Song Yun and Liu Ying were counting the goods, and Jiang Yuqing was checking the amount of work everyone had done. Tomorrow was the day to pay wages.

"Aunt, please gather everyone together. I have something to say."

Aunt Song Yun immediately went to each room and called everyone out. Now there were nearly forty workers. It didn't seem like there were many people at ordinary times, but now there were really a lot of people gathered together.

"As we all know, it is the time for harvesting and planting recently. The captain just talked to me and hoped that we can all participate in the rush to harvest and plant. After all, the weather has changed rapidly recently. If a heavy rain comes, the crops we have worked so hard to plant will be thrown away in the fields. How distressing it is."

The people below began to talk and ask questions one by one.

"Sister Baoer, should we all go to the fields to work or go in batches? What about the orders from our factory?"

"Yes, of course there is no problem for us to go to work, but aren't you in a dilemma if we can't complete this order?"

……

Xiao Baoer waited until everyone quieted down before continuing, "Listen to me, everyone. We will not divide into groups. We will all go to work and try to harvest and plant as quickly as possible. The number of orders we have rushed out recently is enough to sell during the working period."

After everyone understood Xiao Baoer's arrangement, there was nothing much to say. Although some people wanted to continue working, after all, they could earn more money, they also understood that they could not just throw the food into the fields.

"Yuqing, have you finished calculating the salary?"

"Okay, just checked the quantity and counted it out."

Xiao Baoer asked Jiang Yuqing to pay everyone's wages this afternoon so that everyone could go to work in the fields with peace of mind tomorrow.

"Aunt Zhang, 36 yuan..."

"Sister Su'e, 40 yuan..."

Jiang Yuqing quickly distributed the money and also gave bonuses to the top two winners. After everything was done, everyone went into the house to work, and only Xiao Baoer and Shen Xiuxiu left the factory.

"Third sister-in-law, I have to go to the fields with mother and second sister-in-law tomorrow. Can you take care of Tuantuan and Manman by yourself?"

"Yes, the two children are very obedient, and Dabao and the others can help me look after their younger siblings."

After Shen Xiuxiu helped Xiao Baoer push the two children home, she returned to the old house to help her parents make soap.

"Mom, you're back," Dabao came out of the study. The three children had been reading picture books in there after finishing their homework.

"Yes, son, are you hot? Do you want to eat something to cool down?"

"I want to eat that cool dessert made of mango."

Xiao Baoer brought them into the space and brought them some mango balls. She ate a small piece of cake herself and didn't eat anything cold.

"Mom, will Dad come back today? I miss him so much."

Shen Zhensheng was quite busy this time and seldom went into the space to accompany his son for dinner. When he went into the space at night, the child was already asleep, and the child couldn't help but miss him.

"Dad will be back soon. Let him accompany you well when he comes back."

Just as I was talking about Shen Zhensheng, he came into the space with some pastries in his hand.

"Wife, you are in the space, what is your son eating?"

"Dad, Dad, I miss you so much, hug me," Sanbao threw himself into his father's arms and hugged his father's neck tightly.

Shen Zhensheng put the cakes on the table, picked up Sanbao, and kissed him on the face. "My good son, Dad misses you too. Dad bought you some delicious snacks. Come back and eat them with mom and brother."

"Wife, we can return tomorrow. I bought two courtyard houses and a piece of land in the places you mentioned. The price is still suitable."

"Okay, you can also find a suitable person to keep an eye on the house for us like we did last time, and we'll give him a commission."

"I've already found a good guy, Brother Niu who does business with me, who can help us buy a few houses. I told him that I want as many as we can get, and I want as big a courtyard house as possible. Price is not a problem."

Xiao Baoer brought him a portion of mango balls to cool him down, and jokingly said, "Okay, we have five little darlings, so we have to divide the courtyard fairly. We should be impartial and give the same to all five children."

"Mom, I can earn money by myself, and I'll give it all to my sister," Dabao said while eating.

"You are just like your father, your heart is full of things every day."

"Mom, my sister is our little princess, and mom is our big princess," Erbao was also a smart boy. He hugged his mother's neck and kissed her.

"Oh, my son is so good."
