Chapter 145 Childhood Good Sisters
Chapter 145 Childhood Good Sisters
Ruan Qingge thought carefully about who Xilaige's wife was, "Sister-in-law, are you talking about Sister Xiuzhen?"
Zhan Hongxia nodded: "Yes, but she only has an elementary school education, but she is very flexible and deft."
If the cultural requirements are not high, she really thinks Zhang Xiuzhen is a good choice.
Ruan Qingge was not obsessed with education level. Not many people could write their own names these days. "Okay, I'll take a look. I'll talk to Sister Xiuzhen later."
Zhan Hongxia thought for a moment and said, "Well, when I come back, she will definitely come to chat with me. I will bring her here to do some needlework. You can take a look and if it's okay, ask her what she thinks."
Ruan Qingge: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."
"Why else can I thank you, Pigeon? Our whole family should thank you."
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhan Hongxia went home to work. Ruan Qingge had breakfast, and she transplanted a lot of large vegetables from the space, including red cabbage.
The vegetables have started to sprout now, and Ruan Qingge has watered them with space water. They are growing well and have an enticing aroma when fried.
Ruan Qingge likes it very much, both red and white cabbage moss.
After a while of being busy at home, Zhan Hongxia brought Zhang Xiuzhen over.
Zhang Xiuzhen was holding a basket filled with wool and some homemade snacks.
"Sister Xiuzhen, Third Sister-in-law, come in and sit in the living room. It's cold outside."
Ruan Qingge added a lot of charcoal into the brazier, poured water for Zhang Xiuzhen and Zhan Hongxia, and added brown sugar: "Sister-in-law, drink something hot to warm yourself up."
"Pigeon, you're welcome. Hongxia said you know a lot of new sweater patterns and knitting methods, so I wanted to come over and ask for advice. Pigeon, are you free?"
Zhang Xiuzhen was worried that coming here would delay Ruan Qingge's business, but Zhan Hongxia said it was okay.
I'm really curious about the new tricks, and I wonder if Ruan Qingge will mind.
Ruan Qingge sat down and took out the wool and needles. "I'm free. I just finished offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God. I don't have anything to do today."
Huo Beiting will not come here until the evening, so she plans to stay at home today.
"That's good."
The three of them talked about knitting sweaters and scarves. Ruan Qingge did know a lot of different knitting techniques and taught Zhang Xiuzhen several of them.
Zhang Xiuzhen learned very seriously and her hands were indeed deft. She could weave it after Ruan Qingge demonstrated it once.
After learning new tricks and chatting about a lot of things in the village, Zhang Xiuzhen relaxed a lot.
Ruan Qingge opened the topic and said that the factory planned to start trial operation on the sixth day of the New Year, but several sisters-in-law and aunts had already agreed to go to the factory to try it out.
Zhang Xiuzhen: "Pigeon, does your factory have any cultural requirements?"
In everyone’s impression, only educated people can work in general factories.
For example, the cigarette factory in their village only requires junior high school education and prefers male workers. Women like them have no chance even if they want to go in.
Ruan Qingge: "My factory doesn't have so many requirements. We just need to be skillful, able to endure hardships, and be attentive."
"Really?"
Zhang Xiuzhen was very surprised: "Pigeon, can I sign up for a try? If you think I can't do it after the try, just tell me directly."
She knows how to operate a sewing machine, but she has never been to a factory and doesn’t know what the factory’s requirements are.
Ruan Qingge, who was waiting for her to say this, nodded and agreed: "Okay, sister-in-law, then I will let my third sister-in-law remember your name, and you can go directly to the factory on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
It would be even better if we could cultivate advanced factories.
Zhang Xiuzhen didn't expect that she would find a job in a factory after this trip. After leaving Ruan Qingge's house, Zhang Xiuzhen asked Zhan Hongxia nervously: "Hongxia, are the factory's requirements very strict? Is it difficult to do?"
Zhan Hongxia: "Some are difficult, some are not. It depends on what job you do. As long as you put your heart into it, you can always do it well. Practice more and learn more. I don't believe you can't do it well."
With this tenacity, Zhan Hongxia believes in Zhang Xiuzhen.
The two of them married into Tongxi Village at about the same time, were of similar age, and had been good friends before.
The main thing is that Zhang Xiuzhen is not the kind of person who likes to gossip or spread rumors.
Zhan Hongxia has a calm personality, doesn't like to do things behind people's backs, is enthusiastic, and has the same hobbies as Zhang Xiuzhen, so the two get along very well.
Zhang Xiuzhen: "You are right. As long as I work hard and diligently, I will seize the opportunity."
In Zhang Xiuzhen's eyes, Ruan Qingge was a very capable and powerful person. She knew that Zhan Hongxia went to work in the south at Ruan Qingge's suggestion and earned more than a thousand yuan in half a year. She heard that she was given a red envelope by the factory when she returned.
She was very envious of the comfortable New Year she had spent, and she also wanted to improve her family's life with her own hands.
Since Ruan Qingge gave her this opportunity, she would definitely seize it.
Zhan Hongxia: "Xiuzhen, as long as you work hard and do your best for the pigeons when you enter the factory, and don't have your own little ideas, the pigeons will definitely lead us to achieve results."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After Zhang Xiuzhen mobilized everyone, Ruan Qingge went to Ruan Linzhi and Ruan Xuanxiang's homes with gifts.
One of them is older than her, and the other is the same age as her.
They used to play together during holidays, but after Ruan Qingge entered high school, he became busy with studies and became more distant.
But whenever Ruan Qingge came back and met them, she would greet them and chat with them occasionally.
The childhood affection should still be there.
Seeing Ruan Qingge coming over, Ruan Linzhi was a little surprised, "Pigeon, why are you here?"
Ruan Qingge put down the gift after entering the house, and said straight to the point without hiding anything: "Sister Linzhi, I heard that you want to go to the south to work. Well, I opened a garment factory, so I wanted to ask if you are interested in going to my place to try it first?"
Ruan Linzhi heard about the garment factory last year and thought that Ruan Qingge was just making a lot of noise but little action. She didn't expect that the factory was actually built.
Ruan Qingge did not come back for the Chinese New Year last year, and she thought she would not come back this year either. But she did come back and even mobilized her sisters-in-law and aunts in the village to work in her factory.
But Ruan Qingge didn't come to call her for a long time. To be honest, she was angry.
Ruan Qingge's tone sounded very sincere. Ruan Linzhi raised the corner of her lip and said, "What can I do? I don't know how to operate a sewing machine."
Knowing that Ruan Linzhi might feel resentful because she didn't think of her at the first time, Ruan Qingge explained: "I want to mobilize the idle women in the village first, because the factory not only needs people who can operate sewing machines, but also many other businesses."
Ruan Linzhi was puzzled: "No, having workers should be enough."
Ruan Qingge: "Sister Linzhi, it's not enough to have workers. The goods in the factory need to be shipped out. How and when to ship them? How to talk to the boss? How to connect? All these things need people to do. There's also warehouse management and statistics, etc."
It seemed a bit complicated, and Ruan Linzhi's brows relaxed: "But I have never been in a factory, and I don't understand these things. What can I do?"
Ruan Qingge: "It's okay, you can learn it."
