Not long after Jiang Rui's red and white checkered dress was worn, many similar styles appeared in the streets. She made another aqua blue shirt-style dress, and within a few days, many people wore the same clothes as her.
She began to compete, and spent a lot of thought, using crochet and wool to crochet a hollow cardigan with intricate patterns, matching the newly made red dress, which is trendy and elegant. This time, no one is like her.
A few days later, she went out to buy groceries and met a stranger to talk to her.
The person who came here claimed to be the deputy director of the garment factory. A while ago, he saw Jiang Rui wearing a long plaid skirt by chance. He smelled the business opportunity and organized the factory to produce a batch of plaid skirts, which just catered to the trend of young people nowadays. Sold out quickly. The shirts and skirts that followed were also the work of their factory. If Jiang Rui's later cardigans were too complicated, I'm afraid they would be the same style all over the street now.
"You mean, you want me to be a technician in your factory and teach workers to make clothes?" Jiang Rui felt a little novel.
"That's right." Shi Kaiming couldn't help but glance at her, and then said, "But it's not the Red Star Factory, it's another clothing factory."
With the change of national policies, some people with a keen sense of smell are moved by the wind, and Shi Kaiming is one of them.
He is the deputy director of a garment factory. He often travels to various places on business. His vision and courage are different from ordinary people. He has already discovered the great benefits contained in the word trend.
Until recently, several novel clothes produced by the Red Star Factory caused panic buying, and the large amount of payment made him realize the fact that people who have money in their hands are also willing to spend money on trendy things.
Networking, sales, production materials, plant equipment, these are not problems for him, in this case, why not give it a shot
He approached Jiang Rui because of her trendy taste and her outstanding appearance.
The same piece of clothing, when worn by different people, must have different effects. If Jiang Rui is not beautiful enough, no matter how fashionable the clothes are, how can others imitate them
This is the same as the popular Xiaoqing shirts and Sachiko shirts.
Jiang Rui is very interested in what he said. She likes to make beautiful clothes by herself. If she can do what she loves and have money to get it, why not do it
However, she did not agree immediately, and she had to ask Zhao Nan's opinion. The two agreed to meet again in two days.
Halfway through the summer, Jiang Rui received a letter from home that Du Baozhen's college entrance examination was over. She did well in the test and was admitted to a college in the provincial capital.
She is the first college student in the Xishan Brigade, and she can be counted among the entire Chaoyang Commune. For this reason, the commune specially rewarded the Du family 50 yuan, and the team also rewarded 50 yuan.
When Zhao Nan came back, Jiang Rui was writing a reply at the desk.
"A letter from home?" Zhao Nan walked behind her and leaned over her on the table with one hand.
Jiang Rui leaned back and leaned into his arms, "Baozhen has been admitted to university, and her parents are very happy. The letter said that there was a table and a banquet at home to celebrate."
"It's a good thing, are we going to pack a red envelope back?"
This can also be regarded as their local custom. If there are children in the family who are admitted to college, relatives and friends will send red envelopes, no matter how many, they are all heartfelt.
"Well." Jiang Rui nodded, "I'm thinking about how much to pack."
"You call the shots." Zhao Nan said that the economic power of their small family is now in Jiang Rui's hands.
"Wait a minute and ask Brother Zheng and sister-in-law." Jiang Rui couldn't make up her mind. "By the way, I have something to tell you."
She told Zhao Nan about the encounter with Shi Kaiming today and the intention of the other party.
"Meet you on the street?" Zhao Nan frowned.
"Yes, I haven't replied to him yet, what do you think?"
Zhao Nan said, "Be cautious when meeting strangers in the future, and don't talk to them at will. Some people have bad intentions."
"What, it's right at the gate of our military district, with so many guards guarding, which bad guy dares to come? Besides, I look so stupid, so easy to deceive?" Jiang Rui was not convinced.
Zhao Nan didn't speak. He couldn't say in his heart that every strange man who talked to his wife was criticized by him as malicious, right
Jiang Rui asked again, "Then do you agree or not?"
"Do you want to go?" Zhao Nan asked back.
"I think it's pretty good. It's just a few clothes, and I still have money to take."
Zhao Nan said, "I will take a leave of absence and go talk to each other with you."
"Can't you go away?" She has been here for so long, except for the previous leg injury, she has never seen him take a rest.
"It's fine." If he couldn't walk away, he had to make time for it. He didn't feel relieved that he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
So two days later, Zhao Nan and Jiang Rui went to see Shi Kaiming together.
Jiang Rui listened on the side, watching the two men come and go. It was the first time she saw Zhao Nan's sharp words. Originally, Shi Kaiming just wanted Jiang Rui to be a technician. Later, Zhao Nan talked about becoming a technology shareholder. Compared with receiving a fixed salary, there is a fundamental difference.
When they returned, Jiang Rui looked at Zhao Nan with bright eyes.
Zhao Nan kept his eyes fixed all the way, and seemed unmoved. It was not until he returned to his home and closed the door that his ears slowly turned red.
Jiang Rui threw himself on his back with a smile, and praised unceremoniously, "Uncle is really good."
"Be careful of falling." Zhao Nan supported her with both hands.
"How do you know so much?"
Zhao Nan confessed: "I asked the political commissar for advice."
"So that's the case, but just now Uncle's aura of strategizing and controlling the overall situation is still too powerful, and he suppressed the opponent at once."
Zhao Nan just snorted, and the little wife praised without reservation, which always made people blush.
Since then, Jiang Rui has also become a woman with a job and a career.
Every morning, the two of them go to the camp area, go to the camp area, go to work, have lunch each at noon, go home to make dinner together at night, and go downstairs for a walk after dinner.
In the beginning, others saw them as husband and wife as they were going in and out together, so good they were like one person, and often joked. Afterwards, I got used to it, but occasionally I still sigh with emotion. Commander Zhao looked at such a taciturn person, but he didn't expect to be very considerate to his wife.
At the end of the year, Zhao Nan got a TV ticket. The two discussed it together and spent 420 yuan to move a 12-inch TV back from the department store. It was only black and white, and a color TV cost more than 2,000.
These days, the material is too scarce. The salary of an ordinary worker is only 30 to 40 yuan. If you want to buy a TV, you have to save food and drink for nearly a year, and even if you save enough money, if you can't get tickets , still can't buy it.
After the TV was bought, the great unity in Jiang Rui's hands was reduced by half. Before she could feel distressed, the clothing factory received dividends.
Only a few months after setting up the factory, she was allocated five hundred and sixty yuan.
She took a small share, and Shi Kaiming could only earn more. With such an amazing profit, it was no wonder that he was willing to leave the iron rice bowl that he had held for a decade or two.
No matter how much other people earn, Jiang Rui only knows that she has money again. She counted the banknotes in her hand, slapped the table, and said boldly, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant."
Zhao Nan also let her go, he really changed his clothes and went out to the restaurant.
When it was just winter, Zhang Liyun asked Zhao Qianqian to write to them and asked them if they wanted to go home for the New Year this year.
Zhao Nan was planning to go back. In the past, he didn't care if he was alone, but now he is worried about his wife's homesickness. It was only last year's Spring Festival that he took family leave. This year it should be someone else's turn. Therefore, he and Jiang Rui didn't set foot on the return journey until the beginning of the first month, when the previous wave of relatives returned to the team.
Jiang Rui brought gifts to everyone in the family and brought them home in large and small bags.
She left home last year, wearing cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes. Now she is wearing a woolen coat and small leather boots made by their factory. Walking on the yellow mud road of the brigade, she met many acquaintances, and she was hesitant to see her. He didn't dare to speak, thinking that he had made a mistake, until Jiang Rui greeted them with a smile, and they responded one by one.
Needless to say, the surprise of others, the Zhao family was naturally surprised and delighted.
Zhang Liyun was both happy and self-satisfied, she knew that this daughter-in-law was the right choice. In the past, a stinky boy who was single was like a wild horse who had taken off the reins. Now there is a fixed letter every month, and the beautiful handwriting can be seen from the hand of the daughter-in-law, and when I go home to see them, I know that I have bought something at home.
There was not much change in the family, only Li Xiaoe was pregnant again, and her belly was bulging high, which made Jiang Rui look curiously for a long time.
Seeing her performance, Zhang Liyun also remembered something in her heart: It stands to reason that her son and daughter-in-law have been married for more than a year, and their relationship seems to be good. They have been together again this year. There should be good news. No movement at all
Is the body not strong enough? It doesn't look like it, I won't say it, the stinky boy is as strong as a cow, and his daughter-in-law is also up and down the mountain, and can do anything, not like a weak appearance.
That is, the stinky boy is too tired in the army and has no energy
It's possible. I heard other soldiers in the brigade come back and say how hard and tiring the training is, and they sleep like dead pigs every day when they get on the bed. If you are really tired like that, even if you have a daughter-in-law who is like a flower like a jade by your side, I am afraid that you will not be able to move your mind.
Zhang Liyun thought quickly in her heart that if her son had no energy outside, he had to hurry up when he got home. She changed her mind, went out the door, and came back to cook mysteriously.
At the dinner table in the evening, Zhao Nan shared a bowl of soup alone, and no one else had.
