Happy peasant girl

Chapter 223 Cloth Shoes Factory (5)
"By the way, Miss Xi, the official recruitment of female workers will start tomorrow. Are you going with your grandma?" asked Mu.

The past few days are when the women of Linjia Village are at their natal home proudest. Although they secretly and mysteriously told their natal family about the establishment of a cloth shoe factory in Linjia Village, when it comes to wages, the sisters and sister-in-laws of their natal family The sister-in-law and sister-in-law all started to curry favor with them, wanting them to also come into the factory.

"Go, I will take the test in this yard tomorrow. Grandma, Grandma Zhang, Grandma Li, Grandma Wang and Grandma Wu are all the examiners. I am the junior examiner, ha ha!" Lin Qingxi said with a smile .

The grandmothers in her mouth are the best at needlework in Linjia Village, and they have a good relationship with Mrs. Ye. They are also a group of her old sisters. faster than a young woman.

"Your granny is taking their needlework exam, what are you taking the exam for?" Looking at her increasingly eccentric daughter, Mrs. Mu couldn't help the smile on her face.

"I'll test their character!" Lin Qingxi doesn't want to hear quarrels instead of laughter from this yard in the future, and this yard is not open to just anyone.

That night, Mrs. Ye went to bed early after dinner. She had never been an examiner before, and this was the most official event in her life.

In the early morning of the next day, it was rare for Mrs. Ye to put on some formal new clothes. Even the grandmothers from Linjia Village, who were also the examiners, were also neatly dressed.

By the time Mrs. Ye and the others arrived at Nayuan, there were women from the village leading their natal families to line up outside the garden. These people had arrived in Linjia Village two days ago, and some of them had already secretly practiced with needlework. It caught the eyes of Ye Shi and the other examiners.

The soles of the semi-finished thousand-ply soles were made by Mrs. Ye with Xiangxu, Huai's, Xia Rong, Haitong and Hailan from the rags at home.

"Sister, I'm a little nervous!" He Zaohua's younger sister He Huaihua said timidly while grabbing her sister's hand.

"Why are you nervous? I won't eat you. Aunt Ye is a good person. As long as she does her needlework well, she won't make things difficult for you. Parents are sick, so you can't do anything bad to me at this time!" He Zaohua He scolded his sister in a low voice.

"Hua Hua, don't be nervous. Your needlework is better than mine. My aunt said that as long as I perform well today, I will be selected. Let's get shoe soles together in the yard. Think about it, only one pair of shoe soles." There is only thirty Wen, my aunt can pay five pairs a day, and I can do it in the future!" A girl standing behind He Zaohua and He Huaihua said with great ambition.

"That's right, don't be afraid, I'm actually nervous too, but my cousin said that such a good thing may not come across once in a lifetime, you have to perform well, even if you don't get selected this time, go home and practice hard Needlework, there is another chance next time!" Another girl also said.

Soon there were many voices comforting He Huaihua in the crowd, all of whom were cheering her up and telling her not to be nervous.

He Huaihua took a few deep breaths and kept cheering herself up. Although her father is a butcher, she is different from her elder sister. She has been fond of sewing since she was a child, but she is a bit timid and usually doesn't like to talk.

A few days ago, her father and mother were both sick, and the money that my sister and brother-in-law brought back home were all spent on medicines. Later, my sister went back to tell her parents and she said that Linjia Village was going to open a cloth shoe factory, and only paid for it. A pair of soles cost thirty Wen, and she was tempted at the time, but she was afraid that she would not be able to choose.

Lin Qingxi was standing outside the queue with Xiaoyu and the others, and heard He Huaihua and the others. She knew that women in ancient times rarely experienced things like today, and there were also many people who were obviously good at needlework but lacked self-confidence. .However, if these girls can break the prejudice of the world and come out bravely, it is already the first step of success and self-confidence.

"Fifteen people come in at a time, and the rest who don't participate in the assessment are waiting outside!" Lin Qingxi stood by the door and said loudly, today she is a little door god.

He Huaihua and her sister He Zaohua were waiting in front of Nayuan before dawn, so she was in the front row and was the first batch of people to take part in the assessment.

He Zaohua was a little anxious waiting outside, although she only had two quarters of an hour, she felt that it was longer than two years.

"Zaohua, don't keep dangling around in front of everyone, I'm going to be dizzy by you." Lin Wenqing's wife Chun Lian sent her natal sister and younger siblings to the assessment today. Nervous, but He Zaohua has been walking back and forth anxiously in front of everyone, making everyone nervous.

"Sister Wenqing, am I in a hurry!" He Zaohua stopped and said.

"People walked in, it's useless for you to be anxious, besides, it's not something to be anxious about, just wait patiently, don't shake it, it makes my heart tremble!" Chun Lian patted herself said the chest.

Lin Qingxi looked at them by the door, just like seeing the parents who sent their children to the examination room when they passed by the gate of the campus, the expressions of anxious waiting on their faces were so similar.

"Sister Xi, they finished the exam!" Lin Xiaoyu stood inside the door, she and Lin Qingxi looked outside and the other looked inside.

"Understood, open the door and let them come out!" Lin Qingxi moved to the side, Lin Xiaoyu opened the courtyard door from the inside, and He Huaihua and the others walked out.

"Sophora japonica, Sophora japonica, how is it, how is it?" As soon as He Huaihua and the others walked out, the people in line became a little noisy, and everyone watched them nervously.

He Zaohua even grabbed her younger sister's hands. Only then did she dare to reveal her true inner feelings. In fact, she was more nervous than her younger sister.

"Sister, you should...be able to pass!" He Huaihua said in a low voice, but Lin Qingxi found that there was an unconcealable smile on her face.

"The granny inside just praised the older sisters, saying that their needlework is very good, Aunt Zaohua, you don't have to worry!" Lin Xiaoyu said loudly.

"Sophora pagoda, did you praise you too?" He Zaohua hurriedly asked.

"Yeah!" He Huaihua nodded with a smile. As long as she can be selected, she must work hard.

In less than an hour of the assessment, the line outside the door became even longer. If it continues like this, it is unknown how long the fifteen people will be assessed at a time.

So, Mrs. Ye and the others discussed it, changing from injecting [-] needles at a time to [-] injections at a time, and each of them only received [-] needles for them to look at.

Regardless of the fact that there are only twenty needles, Mrs. Ye and her old sisters have poisonous eyes. Whose needlework is good or not can be judged at a glance.
