Jiang Tingxia wrote a letter to Manager Zhang of the garment factory. She remembered that the decorations on this batch of new clothes needed to be done manually by workers. The work was very detailed and most of the work in the garment factory was done by machines. Once manual labor was needed to do the delicate work, it was easy to be short of manpower.

Jiang Tingxia asked Manager Zhang if he needed any help, and she recommended He Sufen.

With Jiang Tingxia's recommendation, Manager Zhang naturally agreed without hesitation. After all, any technical problems in the factory had to be solved by Jiang Tingxia. Now that someone she recommended was responsible for sewing dresses, it saved the factory a lot of trouble.

A few days later, the garment factory sent a batch of clothes that needed to be sewn. Jiang Tingxia and her friends counted them and found that there were 300 pieces of clothes. The garment factory agreed on the price, which was 1 cent for sewing ten pieces of clothes. In this way, He Sufen could earn three yuan for this batch of clothes.

Jiang Tingxia gave He Sufen some simple instructions. He Sufen often did needlework at home, so this was not a difficult task for her and she quickly got the hang of it.

Now, He Sufen only needs to stay at home and does not need to go out. She can take care of her daughter and earn money at the same time. Moreover, this is a job that Jiang Tingxia found by contacting the garment factory. Qu Datong and others have no control over it, so Chen Dagang cannot find someone to fire her at will.

Jiang Tingxia lent all the sewing machines in her home to He Sufen. Jin Xiaowen had already become Jiang Tingxia's apprentice and using a sewing machine was a piece of cake for him, so she was responsible for teaching He Sufen.

He Sufen is very studious. She would sit in front of the sewing machine all day long. Even when she sleeps at night, her feet would unconsciously step on the sewing machine.

She tried desperately to learn this craft to make a living.

When she first started this job, it took He Sufen more than half a month to complete a batch of clothes. Later, as she became more skilled, she could deliver the goods within a week, and her income increased accordingly.

When He Sufen delivered the goods and received the first profit from the garment factory, she took out two dollars from it to give to Jiang Tingxia. She said that the money was not much because she used the sewing machine from Jiang Tingxia's home, and this job was introduced by others, so it was her gift of love.

Jiang Tingxia was not short of money, and she didn't help He Sufen for money in the beginning, so she refused to accept the money. He Sufen insisted on giving it. After much push and push, Jiang Tingxia asked He Sufen to give the money to Jin Xiaowen as a reward for her hard work in teaching He Sufen how to use the sewing machine.

He Sufen's hard work finally paid off. Not only does her new job earn her more than her previous job in the cafeteria, but she can also work from home. She can work and take care of her daughter at the same time. He Sufen is very satisfied.

Gradually, the news that He Sufen could make some money by doing handicrafts at home spread, and some people came to He Sufen, hoping that they could also sew clothes with her and make money.

He Sufen went to discuss with Jiang Tingxia. Jiang Tingxia did not agree at first, but later more and more people came to him.

There are not many jobs, and not all military dependents can be assigned jobs. Moreover, women have to do housework and need to be busy at home most of the time. As a result, most of the families in the family compound are single-income families, and the food, clothing and other expenses of the whole family depend on the men's salary, and many people live a tight life.

Seeing that He Sufen made money just by sitting at home, more and more people came to her door and asked her to help take care of their children.

The old man of the Jiang family is the top businessman. Jiang Tingxia has been influenced by him since she was a child. Even though she has never thought of going into business since she was a child, she still can't sit still. Where there is demand, there is a market, and then there must be profit.

Jiang Tingxia chatted with the women who wanted to work with He Sufen. Some of them wanted to supplement their family income, and some wanted to save some pocket money. After all, they felt more confident spending their own money. In short, they all wanted to do this job sincerely.

Jiang Tingxia went to the garment factory and discussed more cooperation with Manager Zhang.

The women in the compound suddenly became busy. More and more women used their free time to make money. Jiang Tingxia got a commission of two cents for every ten pieces of clothing. At the end of the month, the commission was equivalent to two or three months' salary of an ordinary worker.

However, there is still a threshold for doing this job. Only women who have sewing machines at home can take the job. Other women who don’t have sewing machines can only watch others make money, and there is nothing they can do even if they are anxious.

Jiang Tingxia makes money by taking commissions, which means that the more people there are and the more goods they deliver, the more she earns. If dozens of sisters-in-law who don't have sewing machines can join in, her income will increase several times.

Jiang Tingxia came up with other ideas.

……

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu who was flipping through a book on the bed, lifted the quilt and crawled in, his eyes moving and shining.

Li Changpu was still wondering why Jiang Tingxia suddenly took the initiative to be so close to him. He closed the book in his hand, smiled and hugged Jiang Tingxia, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tingxia leaned against his shoulder and said, "I remember when you were looking for a job for my elder sister, you said that there was a shortage of jobs in the army. If there is a way now, it can solve the employment problems of many elder sisters-in-law and increase their family income. Would it be considered a good deed?"

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia, with a smile on his face, but his brows furrowed. "What have you figured out in your head?"

Jiang Tingxia laughed at him, and Li Changpu felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Some time ago, I worked with a garment factory and arranged some odd jobs for a dozen sisters-in-law. Everyone responded very well. Later, many people in the compound came to me. They didn't have sewing machines, but they also wanted to do this job. There were quite a few people. I estimated that there were dozens of people. I was thinking," Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu's face and said tentatively: "Can you help me connect with the people in the logistics department? I want to report this problem to them."

Li Changpu sat up, his expression becoming more serious. "Why are you looking for someone from the logistics department?"

Jiang Tingxia looked confident, "If they can allocate a few rooms, I can negotiate cooperation with the garment factory, rent a batch of old sewing machines from their factory, open a few production lines, and divide the recruited sisters-in-law into groups, with each group responsible for a part of the finished product. This way, we can get started quickly and be more efficient."

"It can provide a lot of jobs and relieve the pressure on logistics. I think logistics will consider it."

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu with a pleading expression, "Now it depends on whether you are willing to help me make the connection."

Li Changpu pressed Jiang Tingxia's head with his big hand, and his voice was not as casual as when he usually talked to Jiang Tingxia at home. His voice was lower and more serious.

"let me see."
