Chapter 344 Thriving
Chapter 344. Thriving
Although it was just a phone call, Lin Qing He was still relieved even when he didn't come back in person.
When she went home after class, she started to make numbing spicy dried fish for her son.
There weren't only numbing spicy dried fish. Because of luck, she encountered someone selling beef. So Lin Qing He made five-spice beef jerky.
In addition, there were shoes and clothes.
Although she knew that he might not be able to wear it and would wear a school uniform, Lin Qing He still prepared two brand new casual clothes.
These things were prepared for a week before they were delivered.
Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife several times.
Lin Qing He asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I haven't seen you do it for me before." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and replied.
Lin Qing He was taken aback for a moment. Then she took in his gaze which conveyed his envy toward his son and chuckled at once. Zhou Qing Bai looked away.
"I suddenly remembered. Look at our own family's. There is still a lot left. Those are all I kept for you. You can go find Uncle Wang, Father, or Da Lin in the evening and snack on it with a drink. "Lin Qing He brought up immediately.
"Those are for me?" Zhou Qing Bai turned to her and asked.
"Of course, it's reserved for you. If not, then for who? I don't care about anyone else." Lin Qing He answered.
Only then was Zhou Qing Bai satisfied. Then he went home with his wife.
The express delivery at this time was very slow.
That was why Lin Qing He made all dry goods. No need to be afraid of storage life and that everything will change taste.
When it arrived at Zhou Kai's school, it was a whole eight days later. Which was pretty fast.
When the things were delivered, Zhou Kai happened to finish dinner with two classmates. He came over to get the package.
He took it back to the dormitory and saw that it was dried fish and beef jerky. It had his dorm mates envious.
"Your mother is too good. She sends you so much food."
"There are also two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes."
"This beef jerky is really delicious. Five-spice flavor."
"This dried fish is more fragrant. Spicy enough!"
Zhou Kai let them eat. He held the clothes to himself and found that the clothes his mother sent him were the perfect size.
But if Lin Qing He saw her eldest son now, she would definitely be surprised.
Not to mention being as black as a piece of charcoal, his whole aura has also changed drastically. Agile as a cheetah now.
Temporarily, the clothes can't be worn. Zhou Kai put them away. The two pairs of shoes also couldn't be worn yet. But this was his mother's thoughts. He put them all in the cabinet.
Then he came over to eat beef jerky and dried fish.
"My mother's dried beef jerky and dried fish are delicious, right?" Zhou Kai collected the dried fish and beef jerky and raised his eyebrows.
"It's delicious!" His dorm mates praised.
Only then, Zhou Kai let them continue to eat and asked, "When will we have a break next time?"
"There is no holiday at this time. But at the end of the year, there should be ten days." answered his dorm mate.
Zhou Kai looked forward to the New Year. He missed his family too.
No matter how smoothly he sailed in the military academy and how he complete the training perfectly, he was still a little homesick.
At Lin Qing He's side, she had recently started producing long-sleeved autumn clothes.
The small workshop was really small. Only got ten sewing machines. But after it opened, Lin Qing He had created a two-shift system.
One shift was old Madam Xu and the others, who responsible for the daytime. Another shift was the night shift.
After old Madam Xu and that group got off work, the night shift started working until midnight. What's more, Lin Qing He requested for was all young people who couldn't find a job for that group.
Old Madam Xu's eldest daughter-in-law, Li Cui Feng was the supervisor for the night shift.
The salary band was the same. But because it was a night shift, when the dumpling shop was about to close at nine o'clock, Zhou Qing Bai will deliver dumpling for supper.
It can be considered as a benefit.
With this two-shift system, even if there were fewer sewing machines, it still made up for a lot.
Because they wholeheartedly worked, it goes without saying that how the work efficiency was.
Even if it was Old Madam Xu, it was very fast since there was no trivial matters that occurred at home happening.
After all, the patterns were ready and there was no problems with the cut outs.
Lin Qing He wasn't stingy. either When it was hot, she would bring a watermelon for everyone to snack on from time to time. Occasionally, she would get Zhou Qing Bai to cook a pot of mung bean soup and send Zhou Gui Lai to bring it over.
It can be said to be busy, but the treatment was absolutely great. Because Lin Qing He can consider many things, it was also very heartwarming.
Occasionally, she would buy a few packs of candies to share.
It wasn't that the workers were greedy for this, but this kind attitude was really made one feel assured.
The working environment was also great.
There were ten sewing machines in a large warehouse. It was very spacious. Other places were piled up with cloth and ready-made clothes.
The ten people were all old acquaintances and all were of good character. Basically, there was nothing terrible at all.
They can talk while making clothes. Once it was time, they'll get off work and have enough time to cook dinner.
As for the monthly salary, it was paid on the last day of the month. Which was very punctual.
Lin Qing He came over this day with a net bag of tomatoes in hand.
She handed a few to each person. It tasted sour and sweet. A perfect combination.
"Work hard this year and next year I will increase your salary." Lin Qing He smilingly declared.
"A raise in salary? Can't really." Old Madam Xu reservedly responded.
Since having a job, Old Madam Xu became like dumpling shop's Aunt Ma. It was like she was rejuventated and felt very energetic every day.
"It's necessary. I'm very satisfied with everyone's work attitude. Salaries must be increased." Lin Qing He stated.
She promised. This year, it'll be like this. Next year, when the time comes, it'll be 40 yuan a month.
This increase was ten yuan. This had everyone overjoyed.
Lin Qing He's current workshop was known to all the neighbors left and right. No one in the apartment building didn't know.
Everyone knew that Teacher Lin opened a small workshop by herself and there were more than 20 workers under her.
Because of this, Mrs. Zhang from the old Zhang family next door thickened her face and talked to Lin Qing He. She wanted to recommend herself to work there.
However, Lin Qing He refused. She simply said Old Madam Xu was responsible for that side. She won't intervene and the positions was already full.
Also, Lin Qing He didn't be polite with the old Zhang Family. She didn't even say polite remarks like she would look for her when there was a shortage of people.
Why would she be polite with those who target her man and son?
Not only Mrs. Zhang, but also Zhang Mei He.
After that person moved out of the house, she started doing fleshy business. This news was spread all over the apartment building. Occasionally, there were couples who quarreled behind closed doors.
The reason was that the husband took money to go to Zhang Mei He for entertainment was found out.
