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

When everyone stepped into the house, their attention was instantly attracted by Wu Pandi standing inside.

Everyone's face showed the same expression as Sixth Aunt had when she first saw her, so surprised that they could hardly close their mouths.

They simply couldn't believe that the girl in front of them with a pretty face and a beautiful smile could be the skinny and skeleton-like eldest daughter of the Wu family.

Wu Pandi came forward with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically, "Aunts and sisters, you are finally here! My Sixth Aunt is so discerning that she was able to invite all the sisters who are the best at needlework in our team!"

Hearing this, Sixth Aunt couldn't help but feel elated. She puffed out her chest and responded loudly, "Of course not! Pan Di, don't worry. I'm here to help you check and ensure that everyone we find is a top-notch expert!"

Wu Pandi nodded happily, then turned to Wang Daniu and said, "Brother Daniu, please distribute the remaining materials to everyone! Let's try to get everyone to finish the work today. If we can, we'll pay them right away."

Wang Daniu responded and began to distribute the remaining cloth.

However, in reality, there was not much cloth left on his body.

Before this, Sixth Aunt had already used up a small half of the cloth. Now the remaining cloth was divided equally among everyone present, which was probably only enough for each person to make five or six collars.

However, what was unexpected was that after just half an hour, all the materials were completed!

Seeing this, Wu Pandi paid each person ten cents as wages according to the agreed price without saying a word.

Some people may think that a mere dime is not much, but you have to know that for those hard-working women, this dime is a considerable income!

And they earned a dime just by sitting here for a while.

Such an easy job is not work at all, it's just sitting there and getting paid!

There are huge differences between rural and urban areas, the most obvious of which is that farmers have extremely limited employment opportunities.

They are busy in the fields all day long. Apart from cultivating the land and taking care of crops, they have almost no access to other types of work.

It seems as if they are bound to this land by fate and can only rely on digging in the soil to make a living. Earning extra income is almost harder than climbing to the sky.

At this moment, everyone is holding that dime in their hands, and the meaning it represents goes far beyond the money itself.

For these simple villagers, this dime is not only real money, but also a strong proof that what Wu Pandi said before was not false, and that they can indeed earn money through needlework, which they are good at.

Wu Pandi said with a smile, "I've already paid everyone. Please give me a definite answer about how much goods you can complete tomorrow, because I need to send more fabric tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Six responded impatiently: "I'm not sure about other people, but I can make at least 200 pieces by myself!"

Hearing this, Wu Pandi couldn't help but show a little surprise.

You know, it took Aunt Liu three full hours to finish just thirty pieces of clothing. If she wanted to finish two hundred pieces, wouldn't she have to work continuously for more than twenty hours?

In this way, there is no time for eating or resting, not even for sleeping.

After all, human energy is limited. How can one possibly endure such high-intensity work?

Wu Pandi then hurriedly explained, "I'm so sorry, Sixth Aunt! The number of orders I can get is limited. I can only give you a hundred at most. If I give you more, there won't be any for others to do."

However, Aunt Six didn't seem too satisfied with the number and muttered, "Only a hundred pieces..."

Aunt Liu was worried and felt something was not right. The more she thought about it, the more she regretted calling so many people over at once.

At this time, Wu Pandi hurried forward to comfort them, saying, "Everyone, don't just think about working so hard! Look, there are only about thirty tasks in total, and Aunt Liu has been busy for more than two hours, almost three hours!"

"Based on this calculation, if there are 100 tasks, Aunt Six will have to work hard for nine hours to complete them. Even if she becomes more skilled in the future, it will probably take her about eight hours. But her body can't stand such hard work!"

"Besides, this job isn't something you can do for a day or two. There's still a lot of time to come, so we have to work at it slowly. If we exhaust ourselves now, we won't be able to do any work in the future. That would be a huge loss!"

After hearing what Wu Pandi said, everyone thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

That’s right, one hundred jobs make only two dollars, which means a full sixty dollars a month!

This salary is really quite good.

Seeing everyone agree, Wu Pandi looked at the time and felt that it was almost time, so she turned to Wang Daniu and said, "It's almost time for us to go back to the city. The eleven people I found for the boss can complete at least 1,100 jobs a day! As long as they do a good job, the team will definitely be able to recruit more people to help in the future! In my opinion, with the population of our two teams alone, it should be no problem for us to help Li Jingshen take on all the work."

As she spoke, Wu Pandi couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on her face.

Aunt Six, with a smile on her face, led a dozen women and sent Wu Pandi all the way to the door.

Wu Pandi quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't see me off, aunts and sisters-in-law. I'll come again tomorrow! When the time comes, it's best if you can ask your family members to come and pick up the fabric."

"Okay, you can rest assured about this. What our village lacks the least is people who can do physical work!" Aunt Liu agreed readily, and the other women nodded in agreement.

Wu Pandi and Wang Daniu walked out side by side. Just as they were about to leave the brigade, a sharp cry suddenly pierced the air: "Great! I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Wu Pandi, where the hell have you been all this time?"

When Wu Pandi heard the roar, her body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and she turned her head away reflexively.
