Then Master Li took her indoors. The space was not big, and there were more than ten sewing machines.
There was a female worker in front of each sewing machine, and an apprentice followed her.
"Come here, cut these two pieces of cloth again, and then sew them with this sewing machine."
Ling Chuchu took the cloth and looked at it. These two pieces of cloth were cut cloth, but some places were cut and damaged. After repairing, they could at least make a short shirt and a pair of pants.
Master Li just gave her the cloth and didn't tell her what to do with these two pieces of cloth. He probably let her use her imagination freely.
Ling Chuchu didn't ask any more questions. She cut out the style she wanted according to her own ideas.
Li Jun looked at the fabric she had cut steadily, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
Some people are born to do this job.
Ling Chuchu followed the woman's instructions, came to a sewing machine, and sat on a stool.
In Ling Chuchu's eyes, this sewing machine was already an antique-level old sewing machine.
She first slowly turned the sewing machine with her right hand, and then pushed hard with her feet, and the sewing started. I don't know what went wrong. It took more effort to push with her feet than to turn with her hands.
Ling Chuchu stopped.
Li Junyu had been watching her movements from the time she started cutting to the time she began to use the sewing machine skillfully, but he didn't understand why she suddenly stopped.
"Is there any problem?"
"There is something wrong with this sewing machine."
Li Junyu went forward to check it, and then dripped two drops of oil.
"You try it now."
Ling Chuchu tried it, stepped on the sewing machine pedal, and moved her hands. The sewing machine was much more flexible and easy to use than before.
Two pieces of clothing were sewn in a short while.
Li Junyu picked it up and looked at it repeatedly for a long time. There was no problem with the style and sewing method.
"You sew very good clothes and have a lot of ideas, but you still have to take the exam. Only after you pass it can you be considered a formal female worker in the textile factory."
"I understand!"
The fifty selected female workers participated in the simple training of the trainer.
At noon, the textile factory cafeteria provided meals. After lunch, during the lunch break, some of the female workers were still memorizing the content of the training given by the trainer in the morning.
The exam started at 2:30 in the afternoon.
After the exam, it would take a while to get the results, so they had to go home and wait for the notice. Only twenty of the female workers could wait for the employment notice letter. Among these twenty female workers, some may receive the notice after waiting for one or two days, while others may wait for half a month.
Ling Chuchu has a child, so she dare not delay too long. After the exam, she hurried home.
Passing by the butcher shop, Ling Chuchu suddenly remembered that her family hadn't had meat for a long time.
She took a fish and a chicken from the manor.
"Mom, I brought chicken and fish back."
After seeing what she was holding, Liu Fanghua couldn't help but say:
"You kid, why don't you know how to live? If you keep eating like this, even a mountain of gold and silver won't be enough."
"Isn't this a job for you? Aren't you celebrating?"
Ling Chuchu put down the fish and chicken, and immediately went to see the two babies. They opened their eyes, smiled when they saw her, and stomped their legs.
The two babies would only do this when they wanted to be hugged.
"By the way, mom, are they well behaved when I'm not home?"
"They are very well behaved. They don't cry or make a fuss. They are not like you when you were little. You would cry when I put you down, and I had to carry you on my back when I went to work."
At first, she was worried that she would not be able to take care of two children well when her daughter was not at home. She never thought that the two little guys were very well behaved. They would cry when they were hungry. She fed them malt milk, played with them, and let them sleep when they were tired.
Ling Chuchu pouted and said, "Was it that difficult to take care of me when I was little?"
"Yes, I was." Liu Fanghua looked disgusted.
Ling Chuchu: "..."
She originally thought that the children would cry and make a fuss when she was not around.
How could she know that the two children were also very well behaved without her around.
She fed the two children, played with them for a while, and then the two children fell asleep.
Before the 100th day, the two children's eyebrows and eyes were slowly opening, and they looked more and more like their father.
This made her feel very unbalanced. These two children, who were obviously born with her painstaking efforts, did not look like her at all.
Although she was angry, she had to admit that these two children looked like their father, and they were really good-looking.
For dinner, Ling's father, Ling Jiaojiao, Ling Feifei and Ling Yunfei all had dinner at Ling Chuchu's place.
Since Chuchu gave birth to her child, Ling Jiaojiao often came. Every time she came, the food was very good. She finally understood why Feifei and Yunfei always liked to come to Chuchu. It turned out that Chuchu not only had white flour and rice for every meal, but sometimes they could also eat fish and chicken.
These two were meats that were hard to buy even if you had money.
But at Chuchu's place, meat often appeared on the dining table.
Even the plates in the living room were filled with biscuits, melon seeds and so on.
She originally thought that her sister would live a miserable and miserable life without a husband, but she didn't expect that her sister's life as a widow was more comfortable than those women with husbands.
While she was envious, she was also happy for her sister.
Everything that the younger sister has now was probably left to Chuchu by her deceased brother-in-law. If she wasn't afraid of hurting Chuchu, she would really like to ask what her brother-in-law does.
A week later, Ling Chuchu received a letter from the textile factory.
She could report to the textile factory and start working at any time.
She went to the textile factory, but she was not assigned to the workshop, but was asked to follow Li Junxu.
This meant that Li Junxu accepted her as an apprentice.
Following Li Junxu was more promising than working on the production line in the workshop.
Everyone envied her.
The textile factory not only had workshops for weaving fabrics and dyeing cloth, but also workshops for making clothes.
Ling Chuchu followed Master Li Junxu and went to every workshop.
At this moment, they were in the clothing workshop.
The women workers inside were working very seriously. At that time, there were no large machines, and clothes were made entirely by hand and sewing machines.
Their clothes were also very different from those of the women workers in the dyeing workshop.
The women workers in the clothing workshop wore ordinary clothes, at most wearing sleeves on their arms.
The women workers in the dyeing workshop wore sleeves and white aprons that reached their calves because they were in contact with dyes.
The women workers in the textile workshop wore white cloth towels on their heads and sleeves on their arms.
They were easily distinguished by their different clothes.
"Master Li, it's bad." The woman worker in the apron panted and called out.
Li Junxu frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
At the same time, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The female worker in the apron patted her chest, exhaled deeply, and continued after she recovered:
"The new female worker accidentally knocked over the water tank filled with dye in the dyeing workshop. All the cloth to be dyed next to it has now become the same color, and even the cloth on the drying rack is smeared with dye spots."
This is all ruined. In a week, this batch of cloth will be transferred to Shanghai.
"How could this happen? Didn't I say that the new female worker only needs to follow you to familiarize herself with the factory before she figured out what work she needs to do?"
"This female worker is a relative of Director Chai, so, so..."
Li Junxu got up and rushed to the dyeing workshop.
Ling Chuchu followed closely behind her.
At the scene, all the female workers in the workshop were tidying up the cloth on the ground, and the cloth drying on the racks were also quickly withdrawn under the command of Li Junxu.
Li Junxu squatted down and picked up a piece of black and blue dyed material, "This cloth is all ruined, there is no way to repair it. If we rush to make a new batch of cloth, we may not be able to make ends meet in terms of funds."
If the funds cannot be turned around, the factory may go bankrupt, and all the female workers in the factory will face unemployment.
Director Chai: "What should we do, Master Li? We have promised to transfer the goods to Shanghai in a week. We can't break our promise, right?"
Just when everyone was worried and didn't know what to do.
Ling Chuchu spoke:
"Can I try to re-dye these fabrics?"
Everyone looked at Ling Chuchu at the same time.
I don't understand whether this person is really capable or just wants to show off at this critical moment.
Director Chai replied rudely: "You are a newcomer, what do you know?"
"Okay, I'll give you these fabrics, but I'll only give you two days. If you can't do it..."
Ling Chuchu interrupted Li Junxu before he finished speaking: "If you can't do it, I'll leave."
If she did it, the textile factory would be saved, and she could continue to live here. When the college entrance examination was resumed, she would quit her job and take the college entrance examination. If she couldn't do it, she would just leave.
Director Chai said leisurely, "Just leaving? This punishment is too light!"
Ling Chuchu looked at the fat Director Chai and said, "Could it be that Director Chai wants me to be responsible for the entire batch of fabrics?"
"Shouldn't you be responsible?" Director Chai asked back.
"It's not my fault that the fabric is in this state. After all, it was the female worker you hired who destroyed the fabric. I was trying to fix it. To put it bluntly, I was helping you. Why are you biting me back?"
"You..." Director Chai didn't expect that this new female worker was not only sharp-tongued, but also dared to confront him head-on.
"Enough, stop talking." Li Junxu glared at Director Chai, but his eyes towards Ling Chuchu were much more amiable.
"Whatever you need, you can tell me directly."
"Got it, Master Li."
"I want to ask you how many female workers you need."
Li Junxu said to Ling Chuchu kindly:
"Just a few female workers? No other requirements?"
Ling Chuchu shook her head.
Li Junxu walked in front, and Director Chai followed closely behind.
"Master Li, I think we should not pin our hopes on a newcomer. With this time, we should find other ways out."
Li Junxu did not respond. She was unsure in her heart, but what else could she do now? She could only choose to believe her.
"You are really brave. You dare to confront Director Chai directly." The little female worker with double ponytails blushed and said with some admiration.
Ling Chuchu: "..."
"I didn't think of arguing with anyone."
To be honest, it was Director Chai who argued with her first.
"Anyway, you should be careful in the future. Director Chai is notoriously mean. If you offend him, don't expect to have a good life in the factory."
"Well, thank you for reminding me."
"By the way, are you really sure you can handle these waste materials?"
Ling Chuchu pondered for a moment and replied: "Eighty percent sure."
Her previous life was mainly textile, so this little accident really didn't bother her.
"Please sort the light-colored and dark-dyed fabrics first."
