Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

He pulled Li Jingshen to a deserted spot nearby and said in a low voice, "Jingshen, is it okay for you to do this? Don't cause any more trouble later. You know too well that too many things happened in the past few years. It was a big commotion. If something goes wrong again this time, neither of us will benefit."

Li Jingshen certainly understood Zhang Zhenming's inner concerns and worries. After all, the ups and downs and tragedies of the past few years were not just casual talk.

As the brigade secretary, Zhang Zhenming shoulders the responsibility. If something really happens, he will definitely be held responsible.

Li Jingshen patted Zhang Zhenming on the shoulder and said soothingly, "Uncle, just relax! The whole country is strongly supporting the development of self-employed individuals. We are actively responding to the national call!"

"But if you're truly uneasy, then go to the commune and ask for more information. If there's any sign of trouble, we'll immediately stop and make sure you don't get into any trouble."

Seeing that Li Jingshen had said so much, Zhang Zhenming was still worried, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything more. So he sighed helplessly, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. Just remember to be careful and don't cause any big trouble, otherwise I will not be able to report to you!"

Li Jingshen waved his hand casually and replied perfunctorily: "I know, I know, just relax!"

He thought to himself that it wasn't that he completely ignored his uncle's advice, but there were some things that were hard to say.

Do I have to tell Zhang Zhenming the truth that I am a reincarnated person?

How could he be told that in the days ahead the whole country would be obsessed with economic gain?

As long as you can make money, there is no need to worry too much about other aspects.

As night fell, Li Jingshen began to get busy. He carefully distributed various fabrics to each household according to the predetermined plan.

We also communicated with them in detail about the specific size of each piece of clothing, delivery date, corresponding processing price and other details.

Among them, the processing fee for the sleeves and collar is two cents each, while the main part takes longer to make, so the cost is relatively higher, set at four cents.

This pricing arrangement is reasonable and no one objects to it.

After everything was arranged, just one day later, people began to deliver the finished clothing accessories to the Fang family. The quantity of these goods was mostly small, usually only a few hundred pieces.

Li Jingshen's mind was as clear as a mirror. In fact, it was not that everyone was unable to process this batch of goods, but because everyone was worried that they would not get the deserved compensation after completing the processing work with great effort.

Because of this, on the first day of work, almost no one was willing to work hard. Everyone was nervous and wanted to observe the situation first to see if they could get their wages the next day.

Li Jingshen had already agreed with the people in charge of processing that he would settle their wages on a daily basis.

As long as everyone hands over the processed items to him and he checks and confirms that there are no quality issues, he will settle the bill on the spot. There will absolutely be no cheating or wage arrears.

When Li Jingshen checked the products made by each person one by one, he found that the quality of most of them was acceptable, but there was only one sleeve that was sewn crookedly that was particularly conspicuous.

He picked up the flawed sleeve and set it aside. Then, facing the busy Aunt Wan, he said sternly, "Aunt Wan, you can't work like this! Logically, I shouldn't pay you for this crooked sleeve."

"However, considering that you've just started this job and may not be very experienced yet, I'll make an exception today and still calculate your wages as agreed."

"But if you're still as careless and perfunctory tomorrow as you were today, I won't tolerate it anymore. I won't give you a penny then!"

Hearing Li Jingshen's merciless criticism, Aunt Wan couldn't help but feel her face getting hot and her heart filled with shame.

She nodded quickly and responded: "Oh, I'm so sorry! Depth of Field, don't worry, starting from tomorrow, I promise to work carefully and conscientiously, and I won't make such a stupid mistake again!"

Seeing that Aunt Wan was sincere and able to correct her mistakes, Li Jingshen's expression eased a little.

He counted again the number of sleeves Aunt Wan had completed, and there were exactly one hundred in total.

According to the price agreed upon in advance, each sleeve is worth two cents, so Aunt Wan should be paid a full two dollars this time.

Then, Li Jingshen took out two one-yuan bills from his pocket, handed them to Aunt Wan, and reminded her again: "Remember what I said!"

Aunt Wan's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide enough for an egg to fit in, her face full of surprise.

With trembling hands, she carefully took the money handed to her by Li Jingshen, as if she was holding some rare treasure.

After a long while, she came back to her senses. Still with a bit of suspicion and disbelief, she looked up at Li Jingshen and said, "I just sewed such a small thing, and this...you're giving me two dollars?"

Li Jingshen smiled slightly, revealing a row of white, neat teeth, and responded gently, "Aunt Wan, if you are willing to help out on a voluntary basis without asking for any compensation, I would of course warmly welcome you."

Hearing this, Aunt Wan quickly waved her hands and explained anxiously, "Oh, that's not what I meant! What I meant was, back then, I worked so hard in the commune for a whole year and in the end I only got a few yuan. But now, after just one day's work, I can actually get two yuan! It's unbelievable!"

As she spoke, she turned the banknotes in her hand over and over again, as if to confirm whether it was real money.

Li Jingshen patiently explained, "Aunt Wan, times have changed! As long as you work hard, you will definitely reap rewards. Look, if you can bring me two hundred finished items tomorrow, I'll give you four yuan."

"Are you serious?" Aunt Wan's heart beat faster with excitement and her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

After receiving Li Jingshen's affirmative answer, she tightly grasped the two dollars in her hand, turned around and left with a smile on her face.
