Chapter 204: Almost Explicitly Saying It’s Your Maternal Second Sister-in-Law
Guo Xiuxin did not go with Feng Si and others to visit the old cafeteria but stayed behind to discuss some follow-up matters with Shen Meng. If it were really like going to work, they would indeed need to put a lot of effort into establishing some systems!
When Lu Zhenping saw they wanted to talk, he shoved everything Feng Si brought over into the cabinets and grabbed a box of biscuits. Taking a few kids with him, he headed out.
"Xiao Meng, among the first batch of people, there’s Daya’s mother. Didn’t you recommend her for a job in the county? She wouldn’t have time for this!"
"We should give people like her special consideration. She only needs to handle the daytime tasks. The hospital serves dinner early, so she can catch Uncle Guai’s ox cart to return. She can bring the materials home. It’s enough that you know about this, no need to tell others. Just remind her. Oh, and by the way, not just our villagers, when you have time you should also visit the nearby villages. They are all under the same commune. As long as they are trustworthy and of good character, we can bring them over. At present, it’s only the start, but later there will be more variety, and once the quantity increases, we’ll need more workers, especially those skilled in embroidery. Such people are talents; we need to bring in more."
Guo Xiuxin: "....."
It’s almost like saying you’re talking about your own sister-in-law. Su Xiaomei’s embroidery skills are renowned within several villages, but everyone in the countryside works hard to earn more work points, and nobody has the leisure to bother with embroidery.
"Promote the worthy without avoiding relatives. Aunt, if you have such talents in your family, be sure to send them over. I plan to give away some embroidered headbands and flowers for free to the Cooperative Society in the Provincial City, sending two hundred pieces. Of course, the commune will pay for these."
Guo Xiuxin immediately understood Shen Meng’s intentions. Embroidery takes a long time and would certainly be more expensive, but as long as it’s well-liked, the orders would keep coming in.
