Although she was busy, Xue Ling would call back to the imperial capital every now and then.
Xue's father told her that everything was going very smoothly with Zheng Sanyuan watching over the sweater factory. He would go there once or twice a day, occasionally inspecting the factory together, and occasionally he would be too lazy to move. The two would drink tea and play chess.
Yesterday Zheng Sanyuan called her and said that at the end of the month, the money for three orders had arrived, totaling 930,000, to purchase a large number of sweater threads, plus workers' wages and canteen expenses, as well as electricity and water bills.
, a total of 710,000 is left.
Ten thousand was left as a joint fund for the factory, and he got the remaining three hundred and fifty thousand, and she also got three hundred and fifty thousand.
Xue Ling had already gone to the bank to check her accounts and found that her account had finally recovered and was no longer so pitiful.
She also ordered a batch of summer clothes to come to the provincial capital a few days ago. Ahu said that the weather is hot, and summer clothes are selling better. It is estimated that if she sells more batches, she can buy autumn clothes.
He said that market conditions change very quickly. When the weather gets cooler, no one would dare to wholesale summer clothes.
Xue Ling felt that he learned quickly and asked him to take some time to go home so that Ahu's mother wouldn't miss him too much.
Ahu said that he really couldn't leave and would come back after a while when the seasons changed and he bought a car.
"I discussed it with my colleagues and asked them to leave me a good license plate. I haven't bought the car yet, but the license plate has already been ordered! Haha!"
After Xue Ling rested at home for two days, he drove to the provincial capital.
She settled her accounts for a while, and seeing that it was still early, she drove to find the Hydropower Technical College in the provincial capital.
Ahu followed her and couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do in this school?"
Xue Ling explained: "My sister-in-law will take the exam at the end of the month. She said she wants to get into this school and want to learn some knowledge about water and electricity."
"Yo! So fast?" Ahu asked: "Didn't she just study for one semester?"
Xue Ling answered with a smile: "She has been studying by herself for a long time, and her academic performance improved quickly. She gets up early every day to study, and does homework seriously at night. The teachers all say that she is a good candidate. If nothing happens, she can get good results in the exam.
Come."
Ahu laughed and said, "That's awesome! But aren't men doing all the water, electricity and other things? She's a girl, so she shouldn't be suitable."
"She likes it herself." Xue Ling replied: "You have to learn things by yourself. It is her choice. We can only support it. Hydropower is actually very good. Some telecommunications and power institutions will have to rely on such talents in the future."
Ahu was also a person who had studied and nodded in agreement.
"This major is good, but it may be a bit hard for girls. Since she likes it, let her choose!"
Xue Ling saw that the school had three buildings. It looked very new, and there were some students walking back and forth, all of them full of energy. However, after looking for a while, he didn't see a single girl.
“The place is quite nice.”
Ahu replied: "Take a bus from here to the clothing market. It will take about half an hour. If the girl comes here to study in the future, if anything happens, I can come and take care of her quickly."
"Okay." Xue Ling replied: "That's why we asked her to choose a school in the provincial capital. There are no technical secondary schools in Rongcheng, so the nearest one is the provincial capital. It's convenient to go back and forth. It takes more than two hours to drive from home.
I can get there. Besides, it’s perfect for you to be here to take care of her occasionally.”
Ahu smiled and nodded.
He has a good relationship with Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling. Their sister is his sister. He will take the initiative to help without even shouting.
Xue Ling got out of the car and asked the security guard guarding the gate. The security guard said that the technical secondary school approved by the Provincial Education Bureau three years ago had been put into use after it was built the year before last. There were already two classes of students studying there and new students would be admitted soon.
Vocational secondary school students in this era are also rare, and the education department attaches great importance to them.
Xue Ling asked again before driving away with Ahu.
"It's pretty good, but her math score is a bit high. I hope she can pass it by then."
…
At the end of the sixth lunar month, Cheng Tianfang took the high school entrance examination.
After finishing the exam, she went to help her brother's new shopping mall. She set off on a bicycle in the morning and didn't return home until around eight o'clock in the evening.
Cheng Tianyuan gave her a salary of five yuan a day, including lunch. However, she had to be the first to arrive at the store and the last to leave. She had to check the doors, windows and warehouse, and lock the door before leaving.
Summer is hot, and some people like to go out to shopping malls at night.
Cheng Tianfang occasionally opened the store until ten o'clock in the evening and then closed it, and rode back to the river with Li Meihua.
Li Meihua's home is in an old alley not far from Wangjiangyuan. The two of them have a caregiver, so they dare to open the store so late.
Seeing that his sister was slowly becoming independent, Cheng Tianyuan ignored her and let her deal with it on her own.
Xue Ling has been staying at home recently with nothing to do.
She had gone to Boss Liao's company before, and Boss Liao said that the land lease would not expire until July, so she would have to wait another month.
Xue Ling was not in a hurry and asked him how the matter of hiring someone to design was going.
Boss Liao is old and can be considered steady in his work. As early as the beginning of the year, he asked people to help with the design and came up with two plans.
"The final draft came half a month ago. I looked at it and thought it was not good enough, so I asked them to go back and revise it. It will probably take half a month before it can be sent back."
With Boss Liao always keeping an eye on him, Xue Ling felt relieved.
When she has free time at home, she takes care of Xiao Ranran by herself every day, teaching him to talk and walk.
The little guy is also very powerful. At only ten months old, he can already squat on his own and then stand up slowly.
However, he was not brave enough to take a step.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled happily and said: "I thought he wouldn't be able to walk so fast due to his big size - I didn't expect he could already stand!"
Liu Ying also found it incredible and said with a smile: "It's too fast! I remember that you and your sister both need about twelve months to leave, and your sister is a month slower than you."
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "What about me? I can walk very early, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan remembered it clearly and explained: "You can leave in about eleven months."
Liu Ying laughed and said: "Then it looks like my mother will walk earlier."
In the evening, Xue Ling occasionally drove the little guy out and drove slowly along the river to the development zone to visit his grandfather.
Cheng Muhai liked Xiao Ranran very much. Every time he saw her, he would smile and come over to hug her without caring about anything.
Chen Lan also likes children very much and would come over to compete with her grandfather every time.
This evening, Xue Ling drove to the development zone again.
Xiao Ranran was immediately taken away by her grandfather.
Chen Lan couldn't make it in time and curled her lips in disappointment, "Sister-in-law, you can stay and eat tonight! My aunt made steamed dumplings for dinner!"
"No." Xue Ling explained with a smile: "I didn't tell my mother-in-law. They will definitely be waiting for us to go back to eat in a while."
Chen Lan looked left and right and smiled mysteriously.
"Sister-in-law, I have a secret to tell you."
Xue Ling suddenly became interested and asked, "What's the secret? Is it mysterious?"
Chen Lan laughed and replied: "My brother has a partner! It's true!"
ah?!
Good news!
Xue Ling hurriedly asked: "When did it happen? Why don't you tell everyone about it so that everyone can be happy?"
Chen Lan made a shushing gesture and whispered: "My brother doesn't want me to talk nonsense. That woman is a worker in the electric fan factory here. She often comes to the store to buy things, and she gets better after chatting with my brother.
"
"As long as your brother likes it." Xue Ling chuckled: "We'll just wait and eat the wedding candies and drink the wedding wine."
