Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 113 Pass the Exam
Everyone was shocked by this result.Especially Hangzhou weaving Tao Jian, judging from the situation of these women who just came into contact with silk weaving in the morning, he felt that half of them would be qualified in the end.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart relaxed.After all, he was the one who suggested this suggestion, and Lu Xianzhi spent a lot of time arguing with the people from the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau. If the final result is not satisfactory, he will not be able to explain it to anyone.

But fortunately, these women did not disappoint him.

Of course, Gu Yunji also knew that Xu Shuhua's efforts were indispensable.From selecting women to participate in the assessment, to teaching them hand in hand, as well as psychological encouragement and comfort, Xu Shuhua spent a lot of energy in every link, from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji's heart softened, and he cast a grateful look at Xu Shuhua.After receiving his thanks, Xu Shuhua's brows and eyes slightly curved, and he returned a soft smile.

Thinking of the various doubts raised by the other party when discussing with Tao Jian before, Lu Xianzhi couldn't help but feel refreshed, and his tone was a bit smug: "Master Tao, how is it? Am I telling the truth? Sure enough, no matter how much I explain, It is not as convincing as the fine white silk they are weaving at this moment!"

Tao Jian was a little helpless, but still generously admitted: "It is very good to be able to make such a result in just one day. If the women in this group of refugees can have such a level, it will not be difficult to work in the weaving and dyeing factory."

In the beginning, Tao Jian didn't have any expectations for this, but now the resettlement of the refugees is urgent, and he can understand Lu Xianzhi's difficulties.So I thought that even if they failed to meet the qualification line, they could relax the criteria for recruitment as appropriate, and consider it as an errand for Lu Xianzhi.

Unexpectedly, these women's weaving skills are really good. As long as they are given more time to practice, they can make a living by their own ability.This is the best of both worlds, without risking the dissatisfaction of other weavers by lowering their standards.

Therefore, Tao Jian agreed very readily at this moment: "Just as you said before, we will first conduct intensive weaving training for refugee women, and finally those who meet the requirements will be directly recruited by the Weaving Bureau. As for the weaving among them The two who have reached seven feet and eight feet can come to the factory to work tomorrow."

In order to prevent the women from thinking too much and causing abnormal performance, Xu Shuhua didn't tell them what Lu Xianzhi and others planned at first, but only said that the government knew that they had weaving skills and wanted to investigate to see how good they were, that's all.

So when they heard Tao Jian's words at this moment, the women looked at each other in blank dismay.Mrs. Liu, who had woven eight feet of silk, gave Xu Shuhua a secret wink, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xu, what does the official mean? Does it mean that I can come here to work?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. You, and her, you two can come here to work from tomorrow." Tao Jian pointed to another lady Wang who wove seven feet of silk, and looked at it again. To the rest of the women, "Afterwards, the government will teach weaving skills to all women, and when you reach the weaving speed of seven feet an hour, you can also come and work."

Mrs. Liu didn't expect her words to be heard by Tao Jian. He blushed at first, and then showed a troubled expression: "But, but if I come to work, what will my son do? He is only three and a half years old. His father is on the construction site again, so no one will take care of him."

"The official thinks that if you work in a factory, your husband can go back to take care of the children. Because our wages are still very generous."

Tao Jian said unhurriedly: "The wages of the government-run weaving and dyeing workshop are not fixed, but the more you work, the more you get, and the more you earn depends on your own ability. Weaving one foot of plain brocade and six coins, one foot of star pattern brocade Nine Wen coins, one zhang bright brocade and twelve Wen coins. In addition, there are some yarn, silk, and silk, and the price is even higher. It is not uncommon for individual highly skilled weavers to earn a few taels of silver a day. "

Ten feet is one zhang, weaving seven feet in one hour, six hours in a day, four feet and two feet a day, that is about 25 Wen.Isn't this much better than men working hard all day on the construction site and only earning ten cents in the end?

Counting and counting, the women's eyes became brighter and brighter.They don't have a high level of education, but they can still do basic arithmetic. After a little thought, they will know which option is more cost-effective.

In particular, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang, who had already reached the standard, had expressions of ecstasy on their faces, and said excitedly: "So, I can earn more than 20 yuan a day! Then what do I care about so much? Throw my son to Damn it, I'll just come and work!"

As soon as this remark came out, the women all echoed, expressing that they would leave their chores at home and become weavers.

Only Mrs. Wu's brows remained undiminished, with a look of preoccupation.

Xu Shuhua noticed her strange emotion, so he asked: "What's the matter, Mrs. Wu, do you have any worries?"

Miss Wu pulled the corners of her lips and said with a forced smile: "Miss Xu, I am different from them. I am a widow. They can leave their children to their own men, but I can't. I am just such a child. No matter how high the wages are, I can't just ignore him for money, I can't be a weaver."

"It doesn't matter, even so, you can be a weaver."

Hearing what Gu Yunji said, Mrs. Wu's already desperate eyes lit up with hope again, and she asked, "Mr. Gu means..."

Gu Yunji smiled slightly: "We have considered this level. The government-operated weaving and dyeing factories are indeed not suitable for you, but in addition, there are many private weaving and dyeing factories that are also recruiting weavers. These factories Usually the scale is smaller, and the management is more loose, especially some family workshops only have three or five people, even if they bring their children to work, it doesn’t matter. It’s just that the wages are not as high as that of the government-run workshops, but the living is still no problem.”

"In addition, during the time you are learning weaving, the government will find someone to take care of the child, and take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

Tears welled up in Miss Wu's eyes, and her voice trembled with tears: "What you said is true?"

Tao Jian continued, "Of course it is true. The government-run weaving and dyeing factories are strictly managed, requiring weavers to be on duty all day, which is indeed a big obstacle for many women, so most of the workers who come to work live in the city. woman in the house."

"As for the peasant women in the countryside, most of them choose the nearby small private workshops, so that they can work and earn money while taking care of the family. Some wealthy families simply buy a loom to weave silk by themselves, so that time is more free .”

Gu Yunji looked at Miss Wu with a smile and said, "Maybe when you work as a weaver for a while and save enough money, you can also buy a loom of your own, so that you can completely control your life and be with you." My son is doing well."

Lady Wu's eyes became hot when she heard the words, she immediately knelt down towards the crowd, and said in a sobbing voice: "Thank you Mr. Gu, Ms. Xu, and all the officials for your kindness and virtue. You have given our mother and daughter a way out. Repay you like a cow!"
