The reason why the offices of the brigade and village committee are in Xing'anling is because this place is connected in all directions. Several nearby villages use Xing'anling as the center point. If you want to go to the county, you have to pass through Xing'anling and then Junling. Go to the national highway heading to the county seat.
Gao Mingcheng stopped here in Xing'anling, and the people who took his ride got off the car one after another, thanked him, and went back to the village.
Gao Mingcheng came to Gao Shouwang's clothing workshop again. This time, because a window was open, the smell inside was finally not so stuffy.
Standing outside the door, Gao Mingcheng heard the sound of sewing machines working. All the female workers in the factory lowered their heads to work.
Their wages are not by month, but by piece, so in order to make money, everyone works hard.
Dong Feixia is responsible for pattern making and cutting. She is an experienced tailor who knows how to cut to save more fabric. The cut fabrics are handed over to the female workers who stitch and sew them.
This assembly line-like division of labor greatly improves efficiency.
"Mingcheng is here! How is the business of your clothing store?" Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, Gao Shouwang, who was busy at work, immediately walked over to him. Even Dong Feixia, who was cutting cloth, put down the scissors in her hands and looked at Gao Mingcheng. Come.
After the establishment of their workshop, they recruited more and more female workers, and some of the related households introduced by the village committee and the brigade also stayed. Fortunately, most girls are indeed clever and handy. After training, they can work from Start with the simplest tasks.
During this period, the clothes made in the workshop were sold one after another, but these were just small things. What Gao Shouwang and his wife valued most was the clothing store opened by Gao Mingcheng.
You know, in order to control the quality, the fabrics they get from the textile factory are all very expensive. The styles of the clothes are also imitations of those from Yangcheng. Not to say they are superior, at least they are not too different. Put the two together, and the eyesight Most people can't tell the difference.
Having paid so much, now is the time to test the market.
Under the gaze of the two people, Gao Mingcheng smiled and explained the sales situation of the clothing store in the past three days, and then took out a sum of cash.
"Uncle Shouwang, I'll give you a payment first, and I'll give you the rest after the clothing store turns over." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile and handed the money to Gao Shouwang.
Gao Shouwang's eyes turned slightly red when he saw the stack of money.
He took the money and was excited.
He looked at his wife Dong Feixia, who was also excited, and they looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, they saw a future and hope.
Next, Gao Mingcheng told them carefully which styles were selling well and which styles were not popular, so that they could adjust production in a timely manner.
Dong Feixia listened carefully and nodded frequently. She controlled the quality of the clothes, while Gao Shouwang was responsible for other chores.
"How many red printed cotton coats and woolen coats are there? I'll take some more to the county, as well as some thin sweaters." Gao Mingcheng said, and Gao Shouwang recorded the goods he wanted first.
The clothing workshops are relatively simple at present, with only twenty or thirty sewing machines and no large-scale sweater knitting machines. Fortunately, girls in the countryside are also very ingenious. Every village has some people who are good at knitting sweaters. Long ago, Gao Shouwang was I found many people with samples and asked them to knit sweaters according to the samples.
Knitting by hand is slower, but it is more comfortable than knitting by machine. There are no splicing gaps inside and it is closer to the body.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. Some complex patterns are difficult to weave.
"Okay, I will go to each village to collect ready-made clothes later." Gao Shouwang nodded in agreement, planning to ride a bicycle to the surrounding villages later.
"Okay, you can arrange this. I'll be here around three in the afternoon."
After the matter was settled, Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor and prepared to return to Gaojiacun.
He hadn't been back for a few days, and although his home hadn't changed much, it seemed deserted. When the two dogs saw him, they became extremely close.
"Black Tiger, Elf, I will take you to the county for a stroll in the future!" Gao Mingcheng promised, stroking the dog's head. There is no rule against raising dogs in the city at this time. There are few dogs in the county center, mainly because of housing problems. When it comes to raising dogs, there are more people raising dogs in villages near the outskirts of the city.
As if they understood, the two dogs barked in unusual excitement.
"Come on, let's go to the old village and play with your brothers!" Gao Mingcheng smiled and started trotting with the two dogs.
He was the only one in the house, and he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he planned to have a meal at Grandma Xi's house.
The tall and strong domestic dogs are no longer young, and they usually come to play with Black Tiger and the others. They are all very well-behaved dogs.
When they arrived at Gao Zhuang's house, Gao Mingcheng felt that he might have arrived by chance because He Xiuman's mother was here.
Standing outside the door, he looked around and found that it was only her mother and did not see He Xiuman's younger brothers and sisters.
He Xiuman's mother's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.
"Gao Zhuang, they say a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. If your father-in-law is beaten, you can't just ignore it!" He's mother begged, but Gao Zhuang's face was full of resistance.
Gao Zhuang didn't like to fight because he was born thinner and less powerful than others. He had been bullied since he was a child and relied on Gao Mingcheng to protect him. Later, when he followed Gao Mingcheng, no one dared to provoke him, but He has never provoked anyone else.
This time He's mother came over and asked him to go to He Xiuman's parents' house to fight. He felt a little panicked for a moment.
Grandma Xie also looked heavy and unhappy.
Knowing that it was difficult for her grandson to refuse, she said: "My mother-in-law, if it was about something else, you could call Gao Zhuang, and I wouldn't have a problem with it. But this matter...it's just that your family is being unreasonable, so it's okay to suffer a little loss." Bar."
As soon as He's mother heard this, she thought it was okay and immediately started to yell: "What are you talking about? His father-in-law was beaten and he didn't come forward, so what kind of man is he? If you are tall and strong, you can't fight, but Don’t you still have that brother who knows how to fight? Go and call Gao Mingcheng. With him here, he can definitely beat Liu’s family half to death!”
Gao Zhuang was silent at first, but now that he heard that it was about Gao Mingcheng, he immediately said: "No way!"
If his father-in-law's matter was reasonable, then it would be okay to call Gao Mingcheng for help, but this matter was unreasonable, and Gao Mingcheng was still busy with the clothing store in the county. How could Gao Zhuang call Gao Mingcheng to come to this mess? water!
"Mom! This is all my father's fault! My younger brother caused trouble outside, so it's okay to be beaten. My father wanted to beat someone else's child. Now it's okay. His father has beaten him back!" He Xiuman was unhappy! said.
Her parents valued boys over girls, so they valued their younger brother very seriously. A few days ago, his younger brother snatched a child's little book, and was beaten by the child. As a result, her father saw this scene and said nothing. He rushed over and beat the child.
This was so serious that it triggered a scuffle between the two families. As a result, her father suffered the loss and failed to win.
Also, her father is the only mature man in her family, while the other party has three mature men!
This time, her mother came to bring in reinforcements and wanted to call Gao Zhuang and Gao Mingcheng to go over and beat each other up.
But Gao Zhuang disagreed with this, and neither did He Xiuman.
She felt shameless.
Gao Mingcheng had half his foot in, but when he heard these words, he was in a dilemma for a while.
"You unfilial daughter, do you want your father to be beaten to death! Ouch, why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter! I don't want to live anymore!" He's mother immediately started chanting and fighting, pretending to hit the wall and commit suicide. .
This scene instantly frightened Nai Nai and Gao Zhuang, who had simple interpersonal relationships and had never experienced strong winds and waves. The two of them hurriedly tried to stop He's mother from hitting the wall.
Just when Gao Mingcheng decided to go in, He Xiuman suddenly screamed.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts. I'm tall and strong. It's terrible. My stomach hurts! I can't stand anymore. Please help me!"
"Xiuman, are you okay? Do you want me to go to the health center and call the doctor?" Gao Zhuang panicked and quickly supported the shaky He Xiuman.
He Xiuman frowned in pain, with a look of weakness on his face. It looked like there was indeed a big problem.
Grandma Xi no longer stopped He's mother. At this time, all she cared about was He Xiuman's safety. As soon as she let go, He's mother was stunned and didn't dare to continue hitting the wall.
Because she knew that if she dared to hit her, no one would stop her!
If you haven’t really lived enough, who is willing to die?
Mother He calmly stopped hitting the wall and looked at He Xiuman suspiciously. Is this daughter just pretending?
But seeing that He Xiuman was indeed in severe pain, and holding her big belly with both hands tightly, most of her body was leaning on the tall and strong body, and she said in a thin voice: "Okay, you go call the doctor, I'm in terrible pain. .”
When Mother He heard this, her suspicion disappeared, but she just felt that it was such a coincidence.
But her daughter had a big belly and now had a stomachache, so she couldn't continue with her next plan.
Alas, bad luck!
