"Yinyin, do you like mutton?" Sister-in-law Xu asked her, "There are a lot of sheep here, and the price is cheaper than pork. But your brother thinks that mutton has a strong smell. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat it, so I didn't buy it first. You
If you like it, I'll go to the morning market tomorrow to pick out a better piece of lamb leg and come back to stew potatoes for you."
"I like it." Xu Yin nodded fiercely. She also planned to buy more. Authentic free-range Hu mutton will not be available at high prices in future generations.
"Then let's go to the morning market together tomorrow. If you want to eat anything else, my sister-in-law will cook it for you. The summer vacation is long anyway, so I'll stay here for a few more days."
Xu Yin said with a smile: "I promised my mother before I came here. I have to go back before the robbery. Didn't our family raise rice flower fish? These fish can also be sold when the rice fields are drained. Mom said that the flower girl gets on the sedan chair,
I don't know what she and dad are thinking."
"Then we'll see, your brother will ask for leave and ask him to go back with you. This year, dad also planted three acres of watermelon. I don't know what the harvest will be like."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the melon seedlings are growing very well. Our father is an expert at growing melons. He is more attentive to melons than to my daughter, how can the melons grow poorly?"
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted about each other's current situation.
Only then did Xu Yin know that her sister-in-law had already made a lot of clothes for people within two months of moving into the family home.
"Thanks to you, little sister, for designing this nursing garment for me. On the day I first moved in, my neighbor came to visit and saw that I could feed myself without lifting my clothes. She thought this garment was good. There were also family members upstairs who were doing confinement care.
I was asked to make two pieces, and then people started coming to me to make clothes..."
Xu Yin thinks this is good: "Doudou, Ding Ding is still young, and we can't live without people at home. It's good for my sister-in-law to earn some money by making clothes at home. When you become famous in the future, more people will come to you for work.
.”
Sister-in-law Xu hesitated for a moment and said: "There is something that I am a little undecided about. There is an empty tailor shop in the internal supply and marketing department of the family compound. The original tenant went to join the army elsewhere. Last week, the director of the Women's Federation
Come and ask me if I have any intention of renting the tailor shop. She made some statistics and found that I am the only one in our area who can make clothes. If I don't rent it, I will switch to another shop."
Xu Yin thinks this is an opportunity. Even though it is just a family home, there are a lot of people there. Most existing families start with two children. There are four seasons in a year, so at least two homes should be changed every season, right?
Even if parents are reluctant to make new clothes, what about their children? They always have to make a few clothes every year, but they can’t wear patches even after going to school?
The income of the other half of these family members is not low, so who is willing to let their children wear patched old clothes?
What's more, it is a unique existence with unlimited potential and considerable profits!
Xu Yin encouraged Sister Xu to rent it.
“Are you worried about the high rent?”
Sister-in-law Xu shook her head: "The rent is not bad, but I just don't know what to do. I discussed this matter with your brother, but he didn't understand and asked me to make my own decision. But I don't have any idea."
Xu Yin simply made up her mind: "Rent! You must rent! The God of Wealth has given you an opportunity, and you would be a fool not to rent."
Sister-in-law Xu: "..."
However, Sister-in-law Xu's words made her feel confident.
It's a pity that my sister-in-law has to go to college elsewhere. Otherwise, it would be great for the two of them to open this shop together.
"Okay! I'll rent it tomorrow and open a shop to make clothes."
"Not only can we make clothes, but we can also buy some high-selling fabrics and sell them in the store," Xu Yin said.
After thinking for a while, he suggested:
"It's almost midsummer. I'll draw some new summer clothes for my sister-in-law later. When she has time, I'll make some and hang them in the shop. Firstly, it will enrich the facade, and secondly, it will attract people to come in and take a look. The more people who see it, the more popular it will be. Maybe
I didn’t plan to make clothes at first, but I saw these ready-made clothes and thought they were beautiful, so I came to you to make them. Isn’t this how the business grows little by little?”
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Xu felt completely at ease and wished she could settle the matter of the shop now.
The next day, when she came back from the morning market, she couldn't wait to find the director of the Women's Federation to rent a shop. Knowing that her sister-in-law was going to the city for a stroll, she just handed her fifty yuan before leaving.
Xu Yin didn't want to accept it at first, but then she thought about how her sister-in-law didn't have time to go to the market with two children in tow. If she saw something useful, she could bring it back to her.
She took the bus in front of her family home and went to the city center. She originally wanted to explore the street stall market, but she overheard a few passengers chatting and said that a large textile wholesale market had opened in the north of the city, which made her heart move.
I asked them how to get to the wholesale market, and finally found out the address and the alternate bus.
It was said to be in the north of the city, but in fact it was still in the suburbs. The bumpy gravel roads made her almost doubt her life.
However, when I saw the appearance of the textile wholesale market, I felt that it was not in vain.
This is much larger and more organized than the wholesale market at the entrance of the alley, and is so spacious that a truck can run inside.
She followed the flow of people who also came here to wholesale fabrics and rushed to the stall of defective fabrics in the cloth factory, where she quickly grabbed five pieces.
Each piece of 30 meters is only 20 yuan. Five pieces of cloth are 100 yuan, and we also give you two pieces of labor cloth that can make two pairs of trousers. It's really cheap, isn't it?
The processed goods stalls set up by the garment factory here are also crowded with people. The ready-made garments to be processed are of old styles and many have broken codes, but they are cheaper.
Xu Yin paid a few items to each of her parents as if they were free of charge. They were cheap and she didn't feel bad if they got dirty when working in the fields.
With the remaining money, I bought some Liang, soft yarn and muslin. I picked some of various designs and colors.
Except for the soft yarn, which is slightly more expensive, everything else is very cheap.
I will ask my sister-in-law to remember the address later and I will come here next time I buy cloth.
After the money was almost spent, Xu Yin took the car back to the city with satisfaction.
Seeing her coming back with five pieces of cloth in her hands and a bulging bag on her shoulders, the family home was in a state of excitement.
I heard a few days ago that Battalion Commander Xu's sister was coming to visit relatives. From the sight of Battalion Commander Xu's wife starting to move all kinds of meat and vegetables home after receiving the telegram, we knew that Commander Xu's sister was very favored at home.
Otherwise, the sister-in-law would spend her monthly salary on stocking up on meat and vegetables just for her arrival?
Family members who have good relations with Mrs. Xu can't help but worry about her: With such a sister, life will be difficult for her husband's family, right?
Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Xu didn't mind at all. On the contrary, she was more looking forward to her sister-in-law's arrival than Battalion Commander Xu.
These family members don't say anything, but in private, who doesn't say a few words: Who doesn't know that among the mothers-in-law in the world, the sister-in-law is the most difficult to take care of, could it be that Camp Chief Xu's family is an exception?
Now I see Xu Yin carrying the cloth back to the family courtyard, saying that she bought it for her sister-in-law.
Everyone has heard about Mrs. Xu renting a tailor shop from the director of the Women's Federation. It seems that these cloths are in preparation for the opening of the tailor shop.
In an instant, it became clear why Battalion Commander Xu was so warm and considerate towards his sister-in-law. Who wouldn’t like a sister-in-law who is willing to worry about her career?
