Chapter 123 The abandoned baby picked up (13)
Anyway, you don’t have to pay tuition to go to school. You can just ask and it won’t be a hassle.
It wasn't until Ye Chu started school that she discovered that there was a slight deviation in her memory.
It's not that the school doesn't charge tuition, it's that she, Ye Chu, doesn't pay.
She belongs to a poor family, so the school exempted her tuition. Of course, she was not given textbooks. She was asked to just read with the teacher and copy the words on the blackboard.
Under normal circumstances, you need to pay 4 yuan a year.
The primary school in Nanshan Village is an ancient temple with a long history, said to be hundreds of years old.
Now, this ancient temple is in a state of dilapidation, with only the mottled but exquisite murals on the walls vaguely telling of its former glory.
Just when Ye Haibo returned to work and started working hard to raise pigs, and when Ye Chu was dawdling in the sixth grade, some changes were also taking place in Nanshan Village.
A group of passionate young people in the village are eager to cause trouble.In the original world, because there was no one to stop them, they really made quite a fuss.
In this life, as soon as he had some signs of success, he was suppressed by Ye Chu with force.
The villagers in Nanshan Village did not have any special feelings except that they were more cautious in their words and deeds than usual.
Years ago, she received a clothing-making order from Uncle Ye Si. Grandma Cao wanted to arrange a blind date for him during the Chinese New Year and bought fabric to make him a new dress.Originally, Fourth Uncle Ye didn't want it. He still had a military uniform. Wearing that to a blind date would be very respectable. There was no need to make new clothes.
But he suddenly remembered that he had said before that he would ask Xiaoba to make clothes for him so that the child could earn some money for the craftsmanship, so he had to reach out and take the fabric.
Grandma Cao slapped his hand away and said, "Don't move, don't get dirty. Wait until I find someone to do it for you, and you can try again."
"No, I told Xiaoba before to ask her to make new clothes."
"Xiaoba? She can make clothes? No, wait a minute, Xiaoba made their clothes?"
"Yes, she did it. When I helped her work before, I saw the cotton-padded jackets she sewed with my own eyes."
"Oh, then this kid is pretty good. But she doesn't have a sewing machine. The tailor I'm looking for uses a sewing machine to make her work. No matter how good Xiaoba's craftsmanship is, can it be better than a sewing machine?"
Ye Wenming thought that a sewing machine might be better, but he still insisted: "Let her try it. If it doesn't work well, you can go find a tailor to make changes."
Grandma Cao thought for a while and said, "Let Xiaoba make a pair of pants first. If it works, ask her to make a top."
"also."
As a result, the father and daughter of the Ye family received a visit from Ye Wenming.
After hearing his purpose, Ye Chu took the cloth attentively and said, "Thank you, fourth uncle, for taking care of me. I will definitely prepare it for you."
Ye Haibo looked shocked. He stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? Are you asking Xiaoba to make clothes? Am I deaf? Did I hear something wrong?"
Ye Wenming: "..." You shouted so loudly, it seems like I am deaf.
Then he also shouted loudly: "You didn't listen, I came here to find Xiaoba."
Ye Chu: "..."
Ye Haibo looked at Ye Chu in shock.
Ye Chu grabbed his arm and motioned him to stop talking.
She said to Ye Wenming: "Don't worry, it will be done in two days."
"Okay. The measurements are written on the piece of paper, and it's sandwiched in the fabric. If you have any questions, you can go to me. It doesn't matter if you can't do it."
"That's impossible. I can definitely do it. I'll send it to you when it's ready."
Ye Wenming left.
Ye Haibo asked her: "Do you make clothes?"
"Ah! Why can't I make clothes? The cotton-padded jacket you are wearing is the one I took apart and washed."
"When did you take it apart and wash it?"
"In summer, when you are in the vegetable garden."
"You are free. I have already taken apart and washed this cotton-padded jacket before I put it away in the spring. Are you going to do it again?"
Ye Chu: "...I forgot. I thought you didn't wash it."
"Then when did you tell people that they came to you to make clothes?"
"In summer, when you are in the vegetable garden."
Ye Haibo: "..." He stayed in there for a total of 8 days.
Ye Chu said: "At that time, Uncle Wenming saw me sewing cotton-padded jackets and knew that I could make clothes. I told him that if you want to make clothes, come to me and I will charge 5 cents for the craftsmanship fee. What do you think, Dad, I must be good. You can make money by making clothes!"
Ye Haibo: "...me?"
"Yes, you, do you really want me to do it?"
Ye Haibo: "...Forget it, let me do it. Just tell others that you did it."
Ye Chu was happy for a second, jumped over and held his arm, saying: "I can help too. You do half of it and leave a trouser leg for me to do."
Ye Haibo: "Just play for a while, it's really annoying."
To be honest, top-notch craftsmanship is no worse than a sewing machine.Ye Haibo's craftsmanship is just a tiny bit worse than the best, almost on par with a sewing machine.
In addition, Ye Chu provided ideas on tailoring. After the pants were finished, they filled an enamel jar at home with hot water and ironed them, making them look very stylish.
One day later, Ye Chu sent the pants over and gave them to Grandma Cao.
"Let Uncle Fourth try it. If something doesn't fit, I can change it."
"Okay. This looks good. Xiaoba will be able to make clothes when he grows up."
"Hehe, the children of the poor have already become the master."
Grandma Cao was so amused by her that she laughed and took out 5 cents from her pocket and gave it to her.
Ye Chu said: "I told my fourth uncle to give him a discount, just 3 cents."
"Take it. It takes a lot of work to do this. If you charge 5 cents, it's cheap. Others charge only [-] yuan."
"Then I'll accept it."
"Keep it, keep it."
She took the fifty cents and went home happily.
Later that day, Ye Wenming came to her again to make a top.Obviously very satisfied with the new pants.
"Fourth uncle, when I finish this outfit, you can promote it for me when you wear it and go out. Let them all come to me to make clothes."
"Row."
Ye Haibo: "Forget it about publicity. Once this is done, there is no need to do it again. I am raising pigs now. I can sell them for money. We don't make money from this anymore."
Ye Chu patted his arm and said movedly: "Dad, I know you feel sorry for me and are afraid that I will be hurt, but I also have to make some contributions to our family."
Ye Haibo looked shocked: "..." Are you embarrassed to say this?
Ye Chu looked innocent: "..." Or should I say you did it?
Ye Haibo was defeated instantly. Forget it, let's just say what you did.
Ye Wenming looked at the exchange of eyes between the two men, and felt that the atmosphere was a little tense for some reason, as if a war was about to break out.He quickly said goodbye and left.
The Chinese New Year is the busiest time for the production team, and the whole village is very happy, old and young.After working for a year, how much money can I get?How much food is distributed?How much can you sell your pigs for?They are all waiting to calculate the accounts.
After the accounts are settled, the money is distributed, and the food is brought home, the production team will give everyone a few days off, from the beginning of the new year to the fifth day of the new year.This is the most rare leisure time of the year.
Ye Chu's family has a good harvest this year.
Although Ye Chu has not gone out to cut grass since she came here, her income has dropped sharply by half this year, and she has only contributed more than 10 yuan to the family.
Fortunately, her father was more powerful in the second half of the year, and the work points he earned every day actually increased from 6 points to 8 points, which was enough to make up for Ye Chu's lack of earnings.
In addition, he later raised a few more chickens. Although he was unlucky, the six chickens he raised were all roosters. They began to crow collectively in the winter and were very noisy, but they could be slaughtered for meat by the end of the year.
He also caught two piglets and raised them plumply.Ye Haibo felt that he had wasted his time if he had not raised pigs before. He was really a master at raising pigs.Look at his two pigs. Although they have only been raised for less than half a year, they are not much smaller than other pigs that have been raised for a year.His pig weighs more than 200 kilograms, and his pig weighs more than 150 kilograms.
When the slaughterhouse came to collect the pigs, the Ye family's two pigs were sold for more than a hundred yuan.For the two of them, it’s considered getting rich.
