The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 106 Rules Make the Circle

The post-disaster reconstruction and recovery took several days. Everyone who could work in the village helped with the work. The roads were muddy. When Xiao Baoer heard that there were casualties in her mother's family, she was really worried about the situation there. She went to visit her mother twice with Shen Zhensheng. She felt relieved to see that her parents, brother, sister-in-law and children were all fine.

Although the food, bedding and other things in the house were either washed away or soaked by the water, which made his parents very worried, Xiao Baoer didn't think these were a big deal. As long as no one was hurt, that was better than anything else.

Although my father borrowed food from the brigade, there were many people in our family and we couldn't eat too much of the borrowed food, so we lived a very tight life.

When Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng went there, they specially took some flour, rice, coarse grains, vegetables and meat from the entrance of the village and put them in a backpack, which they covered tightly with cloth.

If my mother's family asks, she will say that because there were many people eating when the house was being built, Shen Zhensheng bought more at once, and it rained heavily before he could give it to the people building the house.

The village distributed quilts, but because there were so many people affected by the disaster and there were so many family members, only a few people could share one quilt.

Xiao Baoer knew that this situation existed in every village. When she came, she specially took out some quilts at the entrance of the village when no one was around. They could be said to be extra at home and were no longer needed.

Considering that there are elderly and children at home, the road is too bad, and he also has children at home and cannot come often, he also took some cold medicine with him, saying that it was the medicine that Shen Zhensheng asked his comrades in the county town to get.

Xiao Baoer said it was really difficult, as she had the treasure but had to rack her brains to find a reason to reveal it.

There was really no food at home. Looking at the sallow faces of his grandchildren, Father Xiao did not refuse this time and let Mother Xiao accept it. He only told the Xiao brothers to work hard to build a house for Xiao Baoer's family and not to be lazy.

Several brothers agreed one after another. There are two pregnant women in the family, and these things are really timely. The younger sister and brother-in-law are really thoughtful. The Xiao family is full of gratitude. Several sisters-in-law are also very grateful to the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is thinking about everyone in the family.

When I returned to Xingfu Village and was walking towards my home, I met Shen Yongfu and Li Changhe. The two were helping to rebuild the house, but Li Changhe was giving orders, and no one listened to them.

Shen Yongfu brought his sons to help, and they got covered in mud and their faces were dirty.

Shen Zhensheng called out to Shen Yongfu, "Uncle, I came here to help after I sent my wife home. I went to my father-in-law's house."

Shen Yongfu knew that Shen Zhensheng had been busy since the day it started raining, and that the affected villagers were able to be resettled thanks to Shen Zhensheng's advice and suggestions. He also asked his comrades to buy a batch of bedding and medicines and sold them to the village at a low price.

Yes, there was a shortage of bedding in the village, many children and elderly people were sick, and half of the people in the village had colds and fevers. Every time Shen Zhensheng went out, Xiao Baoer asked him to wear a mask and disinfect when he came back, after all, there were three children at home.

Xiao Baoer also asked Xiao Putao to check whether the people in the village had a cold, fever or an epidemic. It was not that Xiao Baoer was overthinking it, but the possibility of an epidemic breaking out after heavy rain and floods was still very high.

Fortunately, after much investigation, Little Putao found out that a large number of people in the village had caught colds and fevers, but the temperature was relatively high and it was still somewhat contagious, so people with weak physical fitness could not withstand it.

Xiao Baoer didn't let her three children go out and even disinfected the house. Some people said that Xiao Baoer was worrying too much or was selfish, but for the sake of her children, she always had to consider their health more. After becoming a mother, she always had to plan for her children.

But there were also many children in the village, so Shen Zhensheng discussed with Xiao Baoer about selling a batch of quilts and medicines to the village through Zhou Bao. After all, they were human lives.

Xiao Baoer thought that in her previous life, she often followed her grandfather to donate money for charity. This time Shen Zhensheng brought it up to help the villagers. Moreover, the fact that he brought it up showed that he had made careful arrangements, so she agreed with Shen Zhensheng's words.

Xiao Baoer didn't know what Shen Zhensheng said specifically to Zhou Bao and Shen Yongfu, but the bedding and medicines were delivered to the village in time and sold to the village at a low price, solving the urgent needs of the village.

Time passed day by day. Xiao Baoer spent every day translating books at home and reading books with his three brothers. The clothes that he asked his second sister-in-law to make last time were originally intended for Xie Lan to try to sell, but because of the heavy rain, Xiao Baoer had not been to the town. When Zhou Bao came last time, he gave it to Zhou Bao and asked him to test the waters.

Yesterday Zhou Bao came again specially and brought good news. He ordered 30 pieces of the same clothes as last time. If they sell well, he will increase the quantity.

So Xiao Baoer plans to develop her own family to make clothes to earn money first. Now the men have gone out to help build houses in the village, and the women are at home taking care of the children or picking up firewood at the foot of the mountain to bring home to dry. A lot of firewood is needed to heat the kang in winter, but they are still idle most of the time.

Xiao Baoer thought that if Liu Ying did it alone, it would take too long to make 30 pieces, so she asked her mother from her natal family and four sisters-in-law to do it together. After all, they were the original owner's family, and the original owner had suffered the pain of childbirth by accident, so she felt guilty after all.

I went to find Liu Ying first and gave her 1 yuan for the two long-sleeved skirts I made last time. Liu Ying was so happy to receive the money. I didn't expect that I could make money by sewing and mending at home.

My husband only earns 5 or cents a day as a laborer during the slack season. I didn't expect that I could earn cents by working hard all day to make a skirt.

"Sister-in-law, you are good at sewing. The skirts you made were liked by everyone at first sight. I'm giving you what we agreed on before. The labor cost for two skirts is 1 yuan."

"Third sister-in-law, isn't this too much? How can it be so much? I only need 5 cents, you can take this 5 cents back."

Xiao Baoer didn't answer, but continued, "We'll do what we agreed on before. This 1 yuan is what you deserve. They've placed another order and sent the fabric to my house. You go to my house tonight to get the fabric and continue to make the same thing as before. This time I'll arrange for you to make 10 pieces. Do you think you can do it?"

Liu Ying was surprised. "What? 10 pieces? That's so many?"

How much will it cost to finish these 10 pieces? If I do one piece a day, I can earn 10 yuan for 10 pieces in 5 days. How many days of work will it take to earn so much money?

Xiao Baoer thought Liu Ying was too busy to do so much. "It's okay if you can't do so much. I can find someone else to do it."

Liu Ying quickly denied it and waved her hands, "No, no, Third Sister-in-law, I was just thinking about how much money I can make from 10 pieces, and I'm a little surprised. I can do it, and I promise I won't delay your work."

"That's fine, but second sister-in-law, let's be frank. If the quality of the clothes is not up to standard, not only will the clothes have to be reworked, but the labor fee will also be deducted.

We want to guarantee the quality of the clothes we provide, and we must provide the best quality."

Xiao Baoer feels that no matter what the relationship is or how it is, some things need to be said in advance. We can't wait until something goes wrong to figure out how to deal with it. At that time, everyone will lose face and it will affect the relationship.

Since we have decided to do it, the quality must be guaranteed. Only when quality is put first can there be the possibility of continued cooperation and everyone can make money.

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I will make sure it's done well, with the same quality assurance as the first two items."

Xiao Baoer nodded. Anyway, she had already said it. If the job was done well, it would be good. If the job was not done well, the money would still be deducted. It was not that Xiao Baoer was heartless, but rules were required to make things right.
