Su Tong felt that this matter should be settled as soon as possible, so he took his daughter to settle the job the next day. The original owner was a textile worker in the factory, with a monthly salary of 27 yuan, plus subsidies, she could earn more than 5 yuan.

Su Tong went to see the director and prepared to go through the procedures for taking over. She did not intend to let her daughter work in the factory as it was too noisy and too tiring. She also wanted to find her daughter an easier job.

"Well... there is one person who looks at the files, but the salary is too low. A temporary worker only makes 18 yuan a month, and after becoming a regular employee, it's only 5 yuan."

Su Tong smiled and handed something to the other person, "Sister, we have been friends for so many years, please stop kidding me.

I heard that the Finance Department is short of one person. My daughter has been very smart since she was young. If it weren’t for this trip to the countryside, she would have been admitted to university a long time ago. Please be kind to her.”

The elder sister was stunned for a moment when she felt the foreign object in her hand, then she glanced down and said, "Oh my god, this is so generous, it's just a watch."

Nowadays, people pay attention to three turns and one ring when getting married. The three turns are sewing machines, bicycles and watches, and the one ring is the radio.

Only wealthy families could afford all these things, and in addition to money, they even needed industrial coupons to buy them.

It was already a big deal for an ordinary family to be able to get one watch, but Su Tong gave away a watch, which shocked his elder sister. She thought that her son was going to get married soon, and with this watch he would probably gain a lot of face.

The eldest sister agreed with a smile and directly assigned Su Xiaohong to the Finance Department to learn accounting from her elder sister-in-law.

After Su Tong solved the problem, he felt relieved and pulled his daughter to a corner.

"Although the work has been arranged for you, you should not sit idle. When the time comes, sign up for the finance night shift and learn more knowledge."

Su Xiaohong also understood that her mother had put a lot of effort into finding this job for her, and her eyes became red.

"Mom, I will work hard and be filial to you in the future."

Su Tong patted his daughter's hand. Fortunately, his younger daughter was still young and was studying, so she didn't have to go to the countryside. After a few years, he would find a way to find a stable job for his younger daughter.

But the work nowadays is really too expensive, and there’s even a lot of controversy surrounding going to the countryside, so this matter can only be put aside for now.

Su Tong was not idle either. He went directly to the neighborhood committee to take on some odd jobs, usually pasting paper boxes. He needed to sit there all day long, and he could earn less than one dollar for a whole day's work. It was too tiring.

The mother and her two daughters were all from the city, and they all had rations. The three girls had small appetites, so although there was enough food, they could only eat until they were 70% to 80% full.

The two children were in the growing period, so Su Tong sneaked to the night market at night, took out a few watches, and exchanged them for more than 300 yuan.

As soon as she walked out of the black market, Su Tong realized that someone was following her. She sneered, turned into a few alleys casually, and sprinkled a handful of powder over. The two men fell to the ground immediately.

Su Tong walked forward and reaped the harvest. It turned out that no matter which world it was, robbing thieves was the fastest way to make money.

As the night fell, Su Tong returned home with his spoils and counted them carefully. He almost whistled. My goodness, these two were so rich. They had more than 100 yuan in cash alone, plus some bills and other things, which was enough for him and his daughter to live a good life.

Su Tong put the bills and money in the box, and took advantage of the good weather tomorrow to exchange the meat slices at home for meat, and then made dumplings for his daughters.

As for the two men who were robbed by other gangsters, the black market is shameful to begin with. If they dared to call the police, they would probably be in trouble and the matter would end up in nothing.

Su Tong looked at the empty house and prepared to buy some new things. In addition to the sewing machine, he also had to buy a bicycle for his daughter so that it would be more convenient for her to travel.

Su Tong actually knows a lot of things. He can make clothes, treat illnesses, and even pick locks. He can also draw and write materials... But I can do these things, but the original owner can't.

Su Tong had a headache, but she didn't expect that the opportunity to make money would come immediately. The reason was that she felt that her second daughter's hair was a little long, so she casually cut her hair into air bangs and then trimmed the ends of her hair.

Cutting hair is a very normal thing. Ordinary people will not go to the barber shop when their hair is long, but will find something to cut it casually by themselves, which can save a lot of money.

Girls rarely cut their hair. They usually grow their hair long and then sell it to save up for their dowry.

But the bangs I cut were so beautiful, and the head shape was also good. When my second daughter’s classmate saw it, he immediately wanted me to cut their hair as well.

Su Tong did not refuse, but he had a request. He also wanted to make sure that he worked in vain. For every haircut, he would be given one pound of food. Just coarse grains would be fine, such as corn, sweet potato flour, or even dark flour.

If it is sweet potatoes and potatoes, then you have to give two kilograms, because they contain a lot of water and take up a lot of space.

If you don't want to give food, then you can just give two eggs. Most families will raise two chickens, so two eggs will be enough.

The price he asked for was not high. In addition to his daughter's classmates who came to get their hair cut, even the neighbors brought their daughters to get their hair cut. In less than a week, he had saved a lot of food. Since he did not ask for money, it was not considered a transaction, and no one pursued the matter.

After this period of recuperation, the daughters became fair and tender. The book boy was going to buy a sewing machine and asked the price. He gasped, it was worthy of the name "three turns and one ring".

It is really too expensive. Not to mention the industrial tickets, just the price alone is not something that ordinary people can afford. At least an ordinary person has to save up one or two years' salary to be able to afford this thing.

Since Su Tong couldn't afford new items, he set his sights on second-hand items and went directly to a junk shop. However, such items were not often seen, so he could only ask around. However, he did not buy it from the junk shop, but instead heard about a family that wanted to sell a sewing machine. Although it was quite old, it was well preserved and ran well.

Su Tong spent 120 yuan to buy a sewing machine that was % new, and then went to a scrap recycling center to buy a bicycle that was so broken that it could not be repaired. However, he still managed to fix it with his own skillful hands, and even though it made some strange noises when riding, it was generally not a big deal.

The house was filled with so many things at once, but no one was jealous, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that these things were second-hand and not worth much money; it just depended on luck.

With a sewing machine, Su Tong could take on the job of sewing clothes for others. Although the price of this thing was a bit high, it was at least enough to earn some snack money for his children and some money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
