Chapter 121 The garment factory is recruiting military wives!
The first order was undoubtedly brought in by Li Ming, and it was a straight-leg pants style worn by celebrities in fashion magazines. The order volume was more than the sum of all previous orders, a full 100 pieces.
One hundred pairs of trousers are nothing for a garment factory, but Zhou Ruoyu can only produce five or six pairs now. In addition, Ding Peipei, who is the most nimble, is pregnant. She is almost carried in Captain Gao's arms all the time when walking. Naturally, she can't be counted on.
Fortunately, Zhou Shufen is here. She can train any person she wants, and make them do odd jobs or small tasks, which can save some manpower for the big workers.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Zhou Ruoyu advertised for recruitment at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative with the highest staff turnover. There were many military wives in the compound who were eligible to accompany the army, and many women also spent the whole day around the stove. After sending their husbands and children away, they would gossip about other people's affairs. Telling the truth can both enhance relationships but also tear relationships apart.
The constant fighting and quarreling made the men lose face. They also thought about arranging jobs for their wives in the army. People with jobs are busy and have no energy to fight, swear, or gossip about their wives.
However, among these military wives who come from farming backgrounds, those who have a little education and can work in regular units can be counted on one hand, while the rest do not even know their own names, so how can they get a job?
Zhou Ruoyu shouted loudly: "As long as the sisters-in-law can do needlework and receive simple training, they can start working. I promise that they will not delay cooking for the men and children at home, and they can also easily earn 40 yuan a month!"
Soon a lot of people gathered around. Who can resist money?
"Hey! What does it mean to be able to sew? If the clothes of the young and old at home are torn, they won't be exposed anyway, so I can sew them together. Even if the sewing is ugly, it can still be sewn together. Does that count as being able to sew?"
A military wife in her thirties with a highland red face looked around and was the first to ask out of curiosity.
Obviously, her question was also what many people around her wanted to ask, but they were too embarrassed to be laughed at to say anything.
It was obvious that this military wife had just arrived at the compound, but she was not picky about food or drink. Zhou Ruoyu quite liked this character.
Her smile brought out two dimples on her face. "Alright! I'll say it again. Just knowing how to use a needle and thread will do!"
"Really?"
"Do you want to sign up?"
"...I have to go back and discuss it with his father, just in case he doesn't allow it."
"What about you? Will you report it?"
"I want to report it. What's the big deal? Aren't there already several military wives who have made money? I can use the money to buy meat and bones for my son, and his father will definitely be happy too!"
"Then I'll also sign up..."
……
A group of military wives began to chatter and discuss. Gao Yuanhong's wife puffed out her chest and was the first to stand in front of Zhou Ruoyu: "I'll sign up!"
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Wang Suqin, but I can't write."
Zhou Ruoyu chuckled. "No need to write. She will take you to the garment factory and find someone named Zhou Shufen to give you some basic training, and then you can start working."
She pointed at Ding Peipei who was standing beside her. How could she expect Ding Peipei to stay at home obediently? After begging Gao Weiguo for a long time, he finally agreed to let her come out and walk around, but she was not allowed to work.
With the man's words in front of her, Zhou Ruoyu naturally didn't dare to use Ding Peipei to do the work, so she just asked her to help lead the way.
Ding Peipei said with a smile on her face: "Hello, Sister-in-law Suqin, let's go, I'll take you there."
Seeing Wang Suqin leave happily, the group of military wives who were watching could no longer contain their emotions.
"My name is Li Shumei, I'm signing up!"
"I'm also going to register. My name is Deng Cuilan, and I can use a sewing machine."
Wow, I didn't expect there were hidden masters here! Deng Cuilan can become a skilled worker after simple training, it's great!
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became lively, and soon more than a dozen military wives signed up for the training.
With that, the staff was almost complete. Zhou Ruoyu wasn't worried about the inconvenience caused by too many people, but she didn't want to waste her precious time. After all, the order for 100 pairs of pants had a strict deadline.
Zhou Ruoyu brought the newly recruited employees back to the garment factory and divided them into groups according to their familiarity with sewing work.
Those experienced and skilled workers are given priority for training and are quickly assigned to their posts;
Next, there are some newbies who are in the semi-finished stage;
For people like Wang Shuqin who can only barely insert the needle into clothes, they are unable to work on the machine and can only temporarily do some scrap processing work.
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Ruoyu looked at his watch and signaled everyone to stop what they were doing.
"Sisters-in-law, please stop for a moment. You can go home from get off work now.
We are different from other units. I give everyone enough time to buy groceries and cook. After all, every family has men and children to feed.
We need to earn money, but our family needs to be harmonious and happy."
There was another round of cheers. Of course, this was another reason why they were unwilling to go out to work. The wives of the soldiers who went to work came back later than their husbands and children, and they had to listen to their husbands and children quarreling all day long.
This garment factory is great. We can get off work so early that we still have time to go to the cafeteria to get food or buy some vegetables to cook at home. It doesn't bother the family at all.
"What time do they start work?" someone asked timidly.
"Let's do eight o'clock. The school and all the offices are open at 7:30 now, so we'll delay it by half an hour. But no one is allowed to be late! What do you think?"
Need I say more? They were practically pounding their fists on the wall, laughing. Such a job would be hard to find even with a lantern.
When everyone got off work, Zhou Shufen helped her pack up. She was not happy with it, saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, how can you work like this? The factory has just been established and we're living off the fat of the land. How can this work?"
Zhou Ruoyu gave Gao Feng, who was standing in the dark, a look that said, "Let's go," and locked the door.
"Just look at Li Guihua. After she made money, I never heard of her husband beating her, right?
Once a woman can become independent, men will look up to her. But that's how society is now. Women have to take care of the housework. For the sake of family harmony, it's okay to give up a little.
"Li Guihua deserves a beating. She used to gossip about other people's affairs with that old mouth of hers, which was so annoying. If I were her man, I would cut off her tongue and eat it with wine to vent my anger!"
Zhou Shufen actually agreed with Zhou Ruoyu's opinion, so she joked with Li Guihua with a smile, and the two of them returned to the compound talking and laughing.
Before they reached the gate, they heard Daya's sobbing. They looked at each other, each seeing a hint of panic in the other's eyes.
Zhou Ruoyu was nimble and had long legs. She rushed into Old Zhu's yard in one leap.
"Daya, who bullied you?"
When she saw the people in the yard clearly, she was stunned.
