Su Xiaoxue's family had a good life throughout the previous year, so they naturally had a happy New Year as well.

However, the people in the village were all miserable because they were deceived by Su Lingling, including Su Xiaoxue's uncle's family.

The two daughters-in-law of my uncle went back to their parents' home to celebrate the New Year this year because of this incident.

My uncle and his wife also locked the door and did not dare to go out. They only went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year.

Even my grandparents are not as arrogant and domineering as before and can only live their lives behind closed doors.

Su Xiaoxue once met Aunt Su and thought about what she said to her when she met Su Lingling.

So she told her aunt what Su Lingling had asked her to do.

After hearing this, Aunt Su went home with red eyes crying.

The next time Su Xiaoxue saw him was on the second day of the Chinese New Year, when Aunt Su sent some things to their family.

Su Xiaoxue didn't intend to accept it, but the other party finally left it at the door and left.

Seeing this, Su's mother looked at Su Xiaoxue in embarrassment, "Xiaoxue, this..."

Su Xiaoxue thought about it and replied, "Just accept it. It's my aunt's idea after all."

The fact that my aunt sent gifts did not affect the family.

With laughter and joking, this year quickly passed by.

During this period, Su Xiaoxue followed the Qin family and went to Hai City to meet her grandparents there.

Later, when I returned to Guangdong Province, the store had resumed operation with Xiaofang's help.

After the Chinese New Year, Xiaoni went to the capital again for her first and second semesters of high school, and vowed to make more money this year.

Su's mother "scolded" her with a smile, telling her to study hard and not to think about money.

Erni agreed verbally, but it’s hard to say whether she can do it or not.

After the Chinese New Year, business was slow at first, but then returned to normal as life returned to normal.

Su Xiaoxue also started to make arrangements for setting up a clothing factory after she came back.

She asked Chen Wei to invite two people she knew to come for a job trial. Since both of them performed well, they were both kept.

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxue recruited two more sisters-in-law, and together with Xiaoyang, there were exactly five people operating the sewing machine.

In addition, Su Xiaoxue also selected a sister-in-law for Xiaoni to help look after the store.

She managed the shop and the "clothing factory" in the backyard separately. The shop was under her name, while the clothing factory was under Xiaofang's name.

At first, Su Xiaoxue planned to register the business under her own name, but then she heard from Qin Chi that the country now supports private enterprises, but they cannot be too big and cannot hire more than eight workers.

She already had a shop with two people running it, so if the “garment factory” wanted to expand, it could be separated and could no longer be under her name.

As for the Qin family, they all have their own jobs, so this is also not allowed.

Finally, Su Xiaoxue handed the matter over to Xiaofang, the person she trusted the most.

Xiaofang was very surprised at the time and said, "You can register it under your parents' name, but would it be bad if you register it under my name?"

Su Xiaoxue trusted Xiaofang, so she asked her to relax.

Xiaofang trusted Su Xiaoxue, but she felt a little surprised that she would hand over such a large factory to her.

After the factory had arranged five people to operate sewing machines, Su Xiaoxue recruited three more people, two apprentices and one who was considered a master. Their work was cutting, measuring, etc.

With her addition, the small private factory was able to be opened.

Su Xiaoxue's clothes are all "designed" by herself, with the help of her younger sister Erni.

During the six months she studied in Beijing, she also tried to make money in the clothing industry and told her the news she got.

So Su Xiaoxue also gained a lot of knowledge about clothing.

In addition, since the 1980s, both clothing and footwear have changed from the previous unchanging black, gray, blue and Jiefang shoes to the current promotion of "dressing a little more "out of the ordinary".

Policies are changing, times are changing, and the things people enjoy in life are also moving in all directions from being unchanging.

In this spring, the rain is drizzling, and the snow clothing factory is working in full swing to produce one piece of clothing after another.

Every day, the workers come early and leave late.

Su Xiaoxue pays them based on piecework, but she needs to control the quality.

These clothes will be the new clothes they will launch this summer. They don’t need to be very popular, but they must be able to do well in the market.

The weather is starting to get hotter, and the fields are full of life.

Su's parents came a few times and brought fish and shrimps, saying they were caught in the fish pond.

Su Xiaoxue didn't have time to go back to help with the family's fields, so she advised her parents to do less.

But the two old people are not going to sit idle. They have to be busy and say they will deal with it after finishing this season. After all, paying the public grain is a large sum of money. If they don’t have grain at home, how can they arrange to pay it at the end of the year?

Su Xiaoxue heard this and said with a smile: "Just pay the money directly. It's not like you can't pay."

She also suggested to Su's mother, "Mom, you helped the villagers sell New Year's goods in my store last year and did a good job. Why don't you come to help me this year? The store happens to be short of people."

After the beginning of this year, Su Xiaoxue asked the owner of the land next door about the transaction situation.

At first, the other party didn’t intend to sell it, after all, he bought it from someone else.

However, Su Xiaoxue liked the place because it was connected to her own place and would be much more convenient, so she paid a higher price and bought it.

At the time, some merchants nearby said she was stupid, "This piece of land has no value without a house built on it. You may not be able to earn back the money you spent on it."

Su Xiaoxue just smiled and didn't explain.

Although she didn't live long in her previous life, many things have changed in the following years compared to her childhood. Take the money for example, it has been increasing year by year. In the past, it was a great thing to earn ten yuan a month in a factory. Now, the factory employees' wages have increased to thirty yuan, and I heard that some places have increased even more.

Su Xiaoxue thought, since wages are rising, the value of the house will not become less and less. Spending a little more money will only mean buying it two years earlier.

In the next two years, if she could make a little money from this house, it would be a big profit.

Su Xiaoxue figured out this principle, and others also figured it out later.

But by that time, Su Xiaoxue's house had already been built by the same group of workers.

However, the red bricks and other materials are a bit more expensive compared to when Su Xiaoxue's parents built the house last year.

After hearing this, Su's mother sighed, "The price really changes every year!"

Su Xiaoxue nodded. "Yes, in a few years, it might be even more expensive."

She smiled at Su's mother and said, "Why not ask grandma's family to build a new house as soon as possible, otherwise the price will go up again in two years."

She also said: "Give me some money to show my filial piety to my grandmother. It will be my token of my appreciation."

Su's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your money didn't come from the wind. How can you build houses everywhere with so much money?"

“It’s earned!”

In the end, she gave a hundred yuan to Su's mother and asked her to deliver it to her grandmother's house on her behalf.

Of course, this hundred yuan cannot build a house, but Su Xiaoxue can give a hundred yuan, which is definitely unprecedented and the first time I have seen it.

Su's mother was reluctant to accept it at first.

Later, after Su Xiaoxue's repeated insistence, he nodded and accepted it.

Su's mother rubbed her sore eyes and sighed, "You, you don't treat money as money anymore."

Su Xiaoxue happily hugged her mother's neck and said, "What are you talking about? Money is meant to be spent. Otherwise, if you hide it at home, won't it become waste paper?"

Mother Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You silly kid, you're just talking nonsense."

But I have to say that Su's mother was very happy. She was very pleased that her child not only respected her but also remembered her parents from her mother's family.

When Su Xiaoxue saw that the sadness on her mother's face was gone and only a smile was on her face, she felt that it was all worth it.

In her life, the only ones she cares about are these relatives. Only when they are happy will she be happy too.

And these are the only relatives her mother cares about, so she protects them well.

As for why she didn't give all the money, Su Xiaoxue also knew that this matter should not be taken too far and bypass the elders like her uncle. She only needed to give the money as a token of appreciation for the younger generation.

As for Su Xiaoxue asking her mother to come to the store to help, Su's mother naturally disagreed and said, "You can't leave your father alone at home, right? Besides, Xiaoni will have to go back home on weekends."

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Then let Dad come too. You guys can watch the store for me, and Xiaoni can just come to my place when she gets home."

Su's mother said that she was reckless and did not agree to it.

However, it must be said that after thinking about her proposal, Su's mother was still somewhat tempted.

At night, when she was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she was discovered by the man next to her.

Father Su asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"

Mother Su thought for a moment, sat up, and said, "Xiaoxue asked me to help out in her store, and she also wants you to go. Do you want to go?"

Father Su looked at her and said with a smile, "Do you want to go?"

Mother Su pursed her lips and said, "I asked you, and you asked me again."

Father Su smiled and replied, "I will follow you wherever you go."

When Su's mother heard this, she was shocked.

"You don't want the farmland at home? You don't want the food?"

Father Su smiled and said, "Just wait until the busy farming season to come back and clean up. I can come back to visit during other times."

After the beginning of the year, the family got a new bicycle, this time it was a brand new one. Erni gave them money and insisted that they buy it.

For the sake of convenience, the couple decided to buy a bicycle, which took them nearly a month to get.

Nowadays, it is much more convenient for the couple. When they have some free time, they will deliver things to their daughter's home in the county town.

Mother Su hesitated, "But in this way, our family can't be like others, the food grows well."

"I will just come back to check on you from time to time. It's the growing season and it won't be a big hassle."

Su's mother was still hesitant.

Father Su clapped his hands on the back of her hands and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I saw you helping out that time and you looked very happy. You might be suitable for this. Maybe if you go, you can help your daughter earn more money in the store. There's no need to worry about it."

Su's mother thought what Su's father said made sense.

She looked at Father Su and said, "That... that's fine too. However, her store is not short of people now, and someone lives upstairs. How about we wait until the house next to her is built?"

Some of the recruited workers went home, but a few still lived upstairs.

With all the stuff stored in the house, it now seems very cramped.

Su's mother also thought about this and hesitated.

Father Su also nodded in agreement, "Well, you are right. When the house next to the child is built, you can go and help sweep the floor. It will help the child and reduce his burden."

"Ah."

The couple thought it over, and a few days later, when Su's mother went to the county town again, she told Su Xiaoxue about this.

Su Xiaoxue was naturally happy to hear that.

She smiled and said, "It will probably take another two months for the house to be built, so you guys have to wait."

Su's mother replied, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I'm just worried that you can't handle it. If you really can't handle it, you can ask me to help."
