She always thought that she was good in Chinese and should at least be better than politics, but she never expected that not only did she fail, but her grades were even worse than mathematics.
With such a score, what will she use to take the college entrance exam next year? Seeing that she didn't look very good, Gu Xingping thought of something and quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, this score is not your final score, I can't decide the composition, so
I didn't count your essay score. Your score in basic knowledge was already very high, and I only got 40 points. And I feel that your essay writing is better than mine, and your score in Chinese is definitely higher than mine.
"
Chen Lishu lowered her eyes after hearing her words. Sure enough, she saw that the composition was not scored. She breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at Gu Xingping: "You damn girl, are you deliberately trying to scare me to death?"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Third sister-in-law, please forgive me this time without caring about the villain." Gu Xingping apologized with a smile. Looking at her perverse look, Chen Lishu couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock at night and Gu Xingping had to go to school tomorrow, the two of them quickly packed up, washed up and went to bed.
The next day, after Gu Xingping left, Chen Lishu did the rest of the geography and history, and then checked the answers again. After finding that they were all passed, she immediately felt relaxed.
In the afternoon, she continued to make the unfinished work clothes, then took the finished product and went to the Materials Bureau to find Zhou Bin.
"I got a new batch of labor cloth to make work clothes, so I thought I would come over and ask Brother Zhou if you are interested in purchasing a set of sixteen plus five feet of cloth." Chen Lishu showed him the finished work clothes in her hand, and then
I told him the price again.
Zhou Bin hesitated when he heard the price of sixteen: "The price in the store is similar to this. If I price it too high, I will definitely have no advantage."
"Brother Zhou, you also know that thick fabrics like labor cloth always require actual cloth coupons. How many people can barely save a set of clothes in a year because of cloth coupons, but now I only need half of the coupons."
Chen Lishu paused for a moment and then continued: "Besides, there has been no document coming from the top recently. The workers want to raise their wages. We need less tickets. If they have enough money, they may be willing to spend more money."
When Zhou Bin heard her talk about a salary increase, he couldn't help but joke: "You even know this?"
Previously, the first-level salary was 27.5 yuan, the second-level salary was 32.5 yuan, and so on. After the increase, each person's salary can increase by several yuan, and Zhou Bin is also on the list of people with this salary increase.
Zhou Bin thought for a while and nodded: "Since you said so, sister, that's fine. I don't know if I can sell more. You can give me thirty sets to see how they go. If they sell well, I will
Order more.”
"Okay." Chen Lishu nodded, and the two agreed to deliver the goods in half a month, and then Chen Lishu left the Materials Bureau and went home.
The next day, they estimated that the batch of goods returned from the provincial capital should have arrived. Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye made a special trip to the post office and found out that the goods had indeed arrived.
After receiving an order for thirty sets from Zhou Bin, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye took some of the fabrics and returned to the village.
After the autumn harvest, the crop fields on both sides of the road were in a state of depression. Because the crop stubble can also be used to burn fires, after the crops were harvested, the adults and children on each team would go to the fields to dig stubble, so the fields looked bare at the moment.
The two of them arrived at home all the way. Li Xiulan and Zhang Qin were sitting on the kang to put the soles of their shoes. Li Xiulan was very happy to see Chen Lishu back. She stopped what she was doing and moved a piece toward the kang. Then she patted the place where she had just sat: "This piece
It’s hot, isn’t it cold to walk this way with so little clothing?”
"It's indeed a bit cold." Chen Lishu smiled and sat next to Li Xiulan. The cold wind blew all the way and suddenly touched a warm place, making her shiver.
Li Xiulan grabbed her hand and shook it. She found that it was cold and did not let go. She frowned and said, "I'm still wearing the clothes I wore when I left. It's strange that it's not cold. Xingping doesn't have clothes. Why don't you?"
Wear one when you come back?"
"It's worn, it's inside." Chen Lishu said, opening the collar of her coat to show Li Xiulan, it was a jacket belonging to Gu Xingping.
"Mom, where are my dad and the others?" Gu Xingye put the four nylon bags he had brought back on his bicycle to the corner one after another. When he noticed that Gu Shoufu and Gu Xingguo were not there, he asked.
Li Xiulan: "When the team handed over the public rations, they all went to the commune with them."
Seeing the two people's eyes falling on the bag in the corner, Chen Lishu said with a smile: "Mom, sister-in-law, I came back from the provincial capital this time and bought some labor cloth to make work clothes. I have already received an order for thirty sets. Do you want it?
Do it with me?"
Then Chen Lishu explained the commission price. Cutting and sewing costs one yuan per set, which means the processing fee for making a complete set of clothes is two yuan.
"Two dollars is so much?" Zhang Qin was startled, then nodded: "Three brothers and sisters, I will do it with you."
She can earn two yuan by making a suit of clothes. Now that the weather is cold and there is not much work on the team, she can sell at least three sets of clothes in two days, so she can earn almost a hundred yuan a month.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Sister-in-law, the matter has been settled. I made an appointment with someone to deliver the goods in half a month. I bought another sewing machine in the town. I will give you this one at home. I will come back to pick up the goods after a while.
"
Upon hearing that Chen Lishu wanted to let her use the sewing machine at home, Zhang Qin felt very grateful: "Thank you, Lishu."
"Sister-in-law, we are all a family, so it's too polite to say thank you." Chen Lishu said with a smile, and then sat and talked with Zhang Qin and Li Xiulan for a while before getting up and going to Chen's house.
When Wu Chunmei saw her coming back, she immediately pulled her horse and sat on the kang to talk: "How is Xingdong's injury? I heard your mother-in-law say it before, and I have been worried about it. You came back after everything was healed?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "Well, I didn't come back until he returned to the team."
"That's good."
Wu Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but persuaded: "I think it's too dangerous to be a soldier. Why don't you discuss with Xingdong and change his job and come back? He is an officer and his superiors should be able to arrange a job for you.
It is not a problem for two young people to be separated in two places for a long time. In my opinion, it is better to have a child as soon as possible. It is best to have a son so that you can gain a firm foothold in your husband's family."
Chen Lishu just smiled when she heard what she said, and then told her about the clothes she wanted to make: "It costs one yuan to cut a set. Mom, do you want to do it?"
"You kid is really brave. You said that if someone catches you, what will you do if you don't even know anyone in the provincial capital?" Wu Chunmei couldn't help but sigh.
