31. Mountain Rural Tour

Xiaohui asked Yao Yuan what solution had he thought of?

Yao Yuan said slowly: "At the beginning, I didn't expect to find such a big shop. I just wanted to find a small shop to open a tailor shop first, and mainly sell those underwear. We can provide it, so at most we can find more OEMs.

However, with such a large shop and a good location, I couldn't help but rent it. The more I cleaned it up, the more I thought about it, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong. I guess once it opened, our clothes would be out of stock soon."

Yao Yuan's idea was indeed the same as Xiaohui. It is obviously not enough to sell those underwear in such a big store. If the fashion is sold well and the goods are not available, what is the point of trading? He is also worried about this.

After hearing Yao Yuan say this, Xiaohui nodded, but said nothing.

Yao Yuan asked her: "In your hometown, there are many women who can make clothes, who are about 20 or 30 years old?"

Xiaohui replied to him: "Rural people generally don't buy clothes, they do them themselves. They are said to be able to do them."

Speaking of this, Xiaohui understood what Yao Yuan meant. He planned to bring all the clothes to her hometown and find those women who know how to make clothes, just like looking for someone to work in the mining machine dormitory.

Thinking of this, she continued: "But there are very few sewing machines in rural homes. They are all sewing by hand, but they are slow and the stitches are different. If you do it yourself, you can't sell it in the city."

Yao Yuan said: "The sewing machine is easy to learn. Did Cuixia and Cuifeng learn it in less than a week?"

Xiaohui said: "Study is easy to learn, but where can I find so many sewing machines? Brother Yao, you have almost spent money, and you still have money to buy so many sewing machines? Besides, you have to invest fabrics, threads, and find places. These are all money!"

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I have no money, and the rest is enough to keep the store running. But I have a way to do this."

Then he asked: "Are you familiar with the village chief in your village?"

Xiaohui said: "Where is a village chief now? We are divided into three squads, and the three squads are under the jurisdiction of the brigade. The brigade is the branch secretary who has the final say."

Yao Yuan nodded, he forgot that the system is still the past and has not changed.

He asked, "Then, do you know the village party secretary?"

At that time, there was no election, and the village branch secretary was all respected.

Xiaohui said: "Then I must know him. He is my uncle and the old man's family."

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "This is even better. After we had dinner today, you will take me back to your village to find your uncle. Maybe we can solve the problem of clothes supply."

Xiaohui looked at Yao Yuan and said with a look of embarrassment: "Brother Yao, you have figured it out. We are poor. Although my uncle is the secretary of the family, the team has no money to buy you sewing machines, and even less money to buy you fabrics. I can't think of it, how can you turn these things out?"

Yao Yuan smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to change it. Now the country advocates making a fortune in the countryside. Remember you told me that the barren mountains and rivers in your village have nothing but the yield of farming, so they become poor.

This time, let’s let the villagers make money by making clothes. Isn’t this a way to get rich?"

Xiaohui didn't understand what Yao Yuan could do to turn into a clothing processing factory in their poor valley. She didn't ask much questions, so she took out the dining table, served millet porridge from the pot, put the oil cakes hot in the pot in the basket, and had dinner with Yao Yuan.

At this time, Sister Cuixia heard the movement upstairs and got up and went downstairs.

After dinner, Yao Yuan gave Cuixia five yuan and asked their sisters to make clothes in the store, cook by themselves, and buy food. Then he took Xiaohui back to the mining machine's home on a bicycle.

At that time, there was no phone number at home, so he had to go home and talk to Aunt Jiang, and then go back to her hometown with Xiaohui.

Aunt Jiang and Kang Kang couldn't understand what Yao Yuan was going to do? Yao Dasha kept his ideas in his heart. He would only do it after he thought about it, and he could do it.

Aunt Jiang and Kang Kang knew that they could not stop him, so they simply did not stop him and let him go.

However, when he and Xiaohui left, they had to let Yuanyuan go and let Aunt Jiang watch it, and go to the shop to watch it.

Xiaohui's hometown is 60 miles away from here. Now, it can be reached in less than two hours by bus. But in that era, the bus only reached the county town, and had to pass the bus backwards and then take a mountain road. At this time, it would be nice to get to the village before dark.

It was really good. When Yao Yuan and Xiaohui took the bus to the county town, they happened to catch a passing bus and arrived in the village at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiaohui has not come back for the New Year. After the New Year, she suddenly brought a young man back. The villagers all came to watch the fun. Don’t Xiaohui brought her partner to her home, right? I heard that she has been doing well in the city in the past two years. When she came back, she was dressed up by the city people, and she was very fashionable!

In the countryside at that time, there were few strangers from other places coming to the countryside in the year. A stranger came to anyone, especially the city people, all men, women, young and old in the village could squeeze into their homes to see the new things.

At the door, there were a dozen or eight-year-old girls. They didn't enter the house and stood at the door to look forward to it. The adults watched from afar outside the yard, almost like waiting to see the Western scenery.

The courtyard wall of Xiaohui's house is built with stones in the mountains, so there is no need to add lime and cement. If the people in the mountains can't afford this, they use stones to dry the stubble. There is a name called Gandazu.

The yard is quite big, and I have fed a lot of chickens. There is also a pigpen on the corner of the house, which raises two pigs.

These animals were only fed in the past two years, but they were cut off their capitalist tails and were not allowed to be raised by individuals in those two years.

The pig can only feed two heads, and if there are too many, it cannot feed it.

There are more than a dozen chickens, and this thing doesn’t consume much food. You can raise some cricket grass on the mountain and mix it with bran. In winter, there is nothing to feed it, so you can sprinkle it out and let the chickens find grass seeds to eat it themselves.

The chickens ran around the yard, and the chicken shit was everywhere. In addition, the smell of the two pigs in the corner of the house was unimaginable. However, rural people could not feel anything when they got used to this smell.

Fortunately, Yao Yuan came by himself. If Kang Kang followed, she wouldn't be able to be stunned by this smell.

But then again, Kang Kang has also joined the team in such a countryside, and maybe he is used to such an environment and taste.

There are two rows of houses in the yard, North House and East House, where Xiaohui's parents and brothers live separately.

Xiaohui has only one younger brother in her family and a younger sister who is quite beautiful like Xiaohui. She married a miner in a coal mine in the mountain, and her life is still good.

Xiaohui's father and brother had met Yao Yuan. When they saw Xiaohui suddenly brought him back, they were frightened and thought something had happened.

After Xiaohui explained the purpose of the trip and why she didn't come back for the Chinese New Year, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yao Yuan to sit in the main hall of the Beiwu, and the father and son accompanied him to drink water. Xiaohui's mother was also in the main hall, lit the fire beside the stove to prepare supper.

When Yao Yuan came here, he knew that his countryside was not rich, so he waited for the bus at the station and bought some gifts, including roast chicken, sausage, and barbecue. He took them out at this time. In this way, Xiaohui's mother didn't have to worry about the arrival of the guests and she had no preparations.

In that era, the houses in the rural areas of the mountains were basically built with such stones. There was a layer of yellow mud mixed with wheat straw, and it was not painted with lime. The house was dark, and suddenly it came in from the bright light, and it felt like it was just a dimness.

To be fair, even if Xiaohui's house is good in this village, at least it is covered with yellow mud walls mixed with wheat straw.

There are many other families who don’t even have this layer of yellow mud wall skin, and stones can be seen inside and outside. In some places, through the gaps of the stones on the wall, you can see the light outside and expose air and leak.

The house was built with small windows, and the windows were made of paper and had no glass.

The windows are smaller, and the wind comes in less in winter, so the room is warmer. But the yellow mud on the wall itself absorbs light. If you make such a small window, the room will be very dark.

Therefore, when guests came, everyone could only sit in the main hall facing the door. This place was only brighter after the door opened.

Therefore, even in this late winter and early spring when it is warm and cold, the door of the main hall must be open.

Of course, the house will not have to grow a stove like a mining machine dormitory. Rural people cannot afford coal.

If you have the conditions, just before going to bed, you put some firewood into the stove for cooking and lit it. The flue passes through the earthen kang in the inner room to warm the kang, and then you will go to bed while the earthen kang is warm.

It’s no wonder that Xiaohui lives in Yao Yuan’s east room. She feels very happy if she doesn’t have a stove in winter.

At the same time, Yao Yuan also understood why Xiaohui is such a good girl who can be so wronged and willing to marry that bastard Zhang Jianjun.

Xiaohui asked her father and brother to sit with Yao Yuan in the main hall, and then she went to find her uncle who was her branch secretary.

After a while, the branch secretary pulled a pair of cracked rubber shoes and followed Xiaohui over. He introduced each other and sat down in the main hall. Yao Yuan took out a cigarette and handed it to the branch secretary.

Although Yao Yuan didn't smoke, he still had to carry cigarettes when he came out to do business. In that era, almost all men smoked. Especially in rural areas, even teenagers kept smoking.

The branch secretary usually smoked the dry tobacco he grew, but rarely smoked the cigarette wrapped in tin foil. He immediately became respectful to Yao Yuan, took the cigarette and lit it himself, and sat and chatted with Yao Yuan.

Among the four brothers of Xiaohui's father, the branch secretary is the youngest, named Wang Sifu. Xiaohui's father is the eldest, so he is called Dafu.

Yao Yuan said to Wang Sifu: "Xiaohui has been following me with me. Now she earns her own salary, and her salary is more than fifty yuan a month, which is more than the city workers. You should know this uncle, right?"

Although Wang Sifu is Xiaohui's uncle, rural people also abide by the rules of not revealing their wealth. Her parents do not allow her to tell the truth about how much money Xiaohui earns outside.

But when everyone looked at Xiaohui who was back in the village, dressed as fashionable as the city people, they knew that Xiaohui made a lot of money.

Now, I heard that the owner who paid Xiaohui was coming, so Wang Sifu of course regarded Yao Yuan as his boss.

When the branch secretary heard that Xiaohui could earn more than fifty yuan a month, he was secretly surprised. Xiaohui earned one month, but he had to earn two months as the branch secretary!

Hey, you said Xiaohui’s father, our boss, is really stingy!

Wang Sifu felt a little angry when he heard Yao Yuan say this.

Xiaohui earns so much money. Last month, he asked Xiaohui's father for 100 yuan to pay for the team to sapling money, but he said no!

Okay, you guys, wait, you and I will never finish it! Let’s settle the accounts when they leave! I borrow money for the team, not for myself, not for not paying back you. Is it necessary to be so stingy for you?
