They were moving goods again, and they were so busy that Shen Changlin and Shen Aizhi were sweating profusely. When they arrived in the county town, it was already the beginning of the lights.
Shen Aizhi said that she would not spend the night at her sister's house. Shen Changlin was too tired to watch the cloth being moved around on the ground and had to call a manpower tricycle, so he might as well spend the night at the guest house next to the station.
Rushing back to Song Town the next morning, Shen Changlin asked Shen Aizhi and the others to wait where they were while he went back to help her.
When he took his hand away, everyone helped to carry the cloth into the car. By the time they got home, they all felt exhausted.
"Buying a piece of cloth is more tiring than Tang Monk studying for scriptures. I won't go there again next time." Shen Chi said as soon as he came back and fell on the bed.
Sun Tao took out the five yuan his father gave him and said angrily: "I didn't even spend the money my father gave me."
Following everyone while eating and drinking along the way, Sun Tao had no chance to be alone.
"Save it, you will have a place to spend money later." Shen Chi rolled his eyes at him and said.
The two tile-roofed houses built by Shen Changlin have been finished, and the cloth bought was moved to the room used by Shen Aizhi as a "workshop".
They found a wooden board and propped it up, and put the cloth on the wooden board to prevent it from getting wet. After resting for a while, everyone got busy cooking, washing vegetables and lighting a fire.
After dinner, Shen Changlin went to the garden to pick some vegetables to send to his mother and others, while Shen Aizhi cut the stitches of the cloth and planned to start making headdresses.
When Shen Chi saw this, he quickly stopped him. He took out a drawing of a butterfly-collar evening dress-style skirt he had drawn and said to Shen Aizhi: "Auntie, make this skirt."
"What size should I make?" Shen Aizhi picked up the drawing and asked.
"Just make it according to your aunt's body size. Use a rubber band or elastic around the waist so that someone else can wear it if it's bigger or smaller." Shen Chi replied.
"You want me to make clothes to sell?" Shen Aizhi immediately understood what Shen Chi meant.
"The fabrics used to make headdresses are wasted. Use the leftover fabrics from clothes." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Shen Chi's goal was finally achieved, and with his step-by-step guidance, he finally led his aunt to the clothing business.
"What kind of fabric should I choose for this dress?" Shen Aizhi took the drawing and started to choose the fabric.
"Choose the orange floral one," Shen Chi prompted.
Shen Aizhi imagined the effect of ready-made clothes, and then said with a smile: "Well, this is the one."
Immediately start measuring according to your body shape.
It only took Shen Aizhi an afternoon to make the skirt, and all that was left was sewing the details.
"Xiao Chi, come and see, Auntie has made the skirt." Shen Aizhi compared the skirt and was very satisfied, and then called to Shen Chi in the room.
After hearing this, Shen Chi, who was reading, hurriedly ran to Shen Aizhi's studio and looked at the skirt hanging on the shelf. Shen Chi was very satisfied.
Shen Aizhi looked at the fluffed skirt and frowned: "If we want to make clothes professionally, we have to buy a hemming machine."
Shen Chi waved his hand: "Buy it. The salvia in my backyard will be sold soon. I estimate that I can make a profit of 1,000 to 800 yuan. This money will be regarded as my investment in my aunt's clothing factory."
"You are very brave, can your father agree?" Shen Aizhi said with a smile.
"Why don't you agree with the money I earn?" Shen Chi replied.
While the aunt and nephew were chatting and laughing, Shen Changlin also came back from Gui Shuzhen.
"How is my mother?" Shen Chi asked his father.
"Everything is fine." Shen Changlin replied.
However, Shen Chi saw that there was no smile on his father's face. He was a little worried and planned to go see it with his father next time.
Every summer vacation means the beginning of the double rush in rural areas. This year Gui Shuzhen is pregnant and cannot work. Shen Aizhi can only keep her son with her mother. Hu will take care of Gui Shuzhen while helping to take care of the child, while she will help Shen Aizhi. Chang Lin was busy working in the fields.
Suddenly there were two helpers missing, Shen Fang had to stay at home to light the fire and cook, while Sun Tao was left at home by Shen Chi to complete the homework assigned by him.
He wanted to go to the fields with Shen Chi, but he was afraid of leech. Shen Chi had grown a lot in one year, and he couldn't fit into last year's anti-leech outfit, so he had to beg Shen Aizhi to lengthen it for him. A cut.
This year, Shen Chi's attributes have increased, and he can plant rice seedlings faster than last year. He can already catch up with an adult's rice planting in one day.
The hardest part was for Shen Aizhi, who was busy working in the fields during the day and designing clothes designed by Shen Chi in the studio at night. Shen Chi told her that after the summer vacation, peers like her sister Shen Fang would have to enter junior high school. Let’s make more clothes and skirts for boys and girls, which will definitely sell well.
Perhaps because Shen Chi saved her life, Shen Aizhi was very obedient to Shen Chi, and she did whatever Shen Chi said.
After finishing the clothes, she still had to be busy making headdresses. Shen Chi saw that her eldest aunt couldn't bear to work so hard, so she divided the headdresses into several processes, and then subcontracted these processes to find young wives in the village who were free, and one person was responsible for them. After one process and finally assembly, it becomes a complete headdress.
Shen Aizhi felt sorry for money: "Isn't this an invisible half-increased cost?"
Shen Chi enlightened: "But aunt saved time. Aunt, if you free up this time to go to the market to find customers, wouldn't you make more money?"
Seeing that her aunt still didn't understand, Shen Chi had to continue: "Aunt, look, there are so many canteens outside now. These are our potential customers. We sell the finished headwear to them, or give it to them at wholesale prices. They, let's just measure it, won't we get back all the money we spent on hiring people?"
"It's Wangji Bakery in town. They send their own bread to the canteen for sale." Shen Aizhi clicked the button.
"That's the truth. Also, aunt, we shouldn't be afraid of other people making money. When everyone makes money and achieves a win-win situation, that's the secret to successful business." Shen Chi took the opportunity to teach her aunt a lesson.
Shen Aizhi looked suspicious: "Where did you learn these principles?"
Shen Chi felt guilty and said: "Reading a book, do you think I read so many books in vain?"
Keeping Shen Chi's words in mind, when I was returning home after planting the rice seedlings the next day, I passed by the door of Chun Sheng's house in the village and saw Chun Sheng's wife Guixiang taking care of her child at home.
When she first married into Yuanjia Village, Shen Aizhi was not yet married, and the relationship between the two was originally very good. Now that he saw that she was living in a difficult situation with her three children, she wanted to help her.
Thinking of what Shen Chi said to him yesterday, he invited Guixiang: "Guixiang, I'm selling headwear, are you interested in participating?"
Guixiang was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly said she would come to Shen Chi's house after dinner.
After dinner, Shen Aizhi started working in her exclusive workroom. There were no partitions inside, and the fifty-plus square meters were all open to traffic. She only had a big light bulb, which could attract mosquitoes in summer. Shen Chi gave some to her aunt. mosquito repellent.
Not long after, Chun's daughter-in-law Guixiang came to Shen Chi's house and was surprised to see Shen Aizhi come back with so many pieces of cloth.
Shen Aizhi asked her to sit down and let her handle the simple processes first, and then did the difficult ones after she got started.
"You take these rags back and piece them into strips of cloth, like this." Shen Aizhi taught seriously: "After the pieces are put together, wrap the rubber bands inside to make a head flower." This chapter has been completed!
