Chapter 693
Many people probably don¡¯t know that shirt collars were a special product that was popular for several years in the 1980s. It still has a market many years later. In the era of short videos, it was even used to make some funny videos.
If Yu Jiaojiao hadn¡¯t been in this field and remembered it after the teacher mentioned it in class, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to remember it.
She remembered that the teacher told a story, saying that the place was very poor. There were only one shirt collar in several villages around. Many men borrowed this shirt collar to show their appearance when they got married. One shirt collar did not realize the success. How many marriages have been made.
When they first heard this story, Yu Jiaojiao and her classmates thought it was incredible. Is it really that poor? Obviously, the clothes worn by people in period dramas in TV dramas are old-fashioned but not even patched.
However, in this era, it is very common to borrow things to get married.
Before Yu Jiaojiao and the others moved to the county seat and Zhao Pengcheng had no accidents, someone from Zhaojia Village went to borrow Yu Jiaojiao's military uniform that Zhao Pengcheng brought back after he retired from the army to wear for the wedding.
There is a family with relatively difficult family conditions. It took a lot of effort for my son to find a partner who is willing to get married. On the wedding day, both the man and the woman dressed decently. The things in the house are also dazzling, including boxes, cabinets, washbasin stands, washbasins, towels, and thermos bottles. Pillows, towels, soap boxes, tea jars, etc., were nothing compared to other families. At that time, Yu Jiaojiao thought that her family was just a bit picky in daily life and would take out good things when big things happened.
It wasn't until the new daughter-in-law came back three days later that Yu Jiaojiao and some younger daughters-in-law and older girls went to his house to visit and found that everything on the wedding day was missing. Out of curiosity, they asked other people and found out that all the things on the wedding day were missing. Borrowed.
And it¡¯s not just his family. Unless the family is rich, all families have to borrow some things when they get married, and then return the things at night under the cover of darkness.
Because everyone does this, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s embarrassing or not. On the contrary, the more things you borrow, the more face you gain.
This incident gave Yu Jiaojiao a great shock.
So when Yu Jiaojiao thought about accumulating funds, she immediately thought of shirt collars.
For an idealistic person, shirt collar is definitely not advisable as a long-term business, but as an initial capital accumulation, it is a good way.
Think of taking action immediately.
Yu Jiaojiao returned home and immediately produced several drawings of shirt collars. Standard collars are a must, square collars are also available, plus Windsor collars and round collars, and the four common shirt collars are available.
These things are not difficult, and the materials and tools are all available. Yu Jiaojiao quickly made a sample. In order to facilitate people to match it with other clothes, a large blank space was left on the chest, back and shoulders to prevent some clothes from being worn. The neckline is too wide and only the collar doesn't look good when put on.
I found a point-collar sweater and tried it on. Except that the wool was too thick and the sweater was too thick, it didn¡¯t match well, but it actually felt pretty good.
While she was trying on the collar, Guo Xiuxiu came back pushing the triplets for a walk.
Yes, push it.
There are already those kinds of strollers, but they are made of bamboo and they are not cheap.
The Zhao family¡¯s model, which can accommodate three children at the same time, was specially customized by someone.
The bottom is a pulley made of eight bearings covered with leather covers, and the top is three baby strollers connected together.
Because it does not have a steering wheel, it is inconvenient to turn this kind of stroller, especially when the three seats are connected together, the steering is more difficult than when it is single, and it needs to be lifted later to turn.
In order to prevent the car from accidentally overturning when turning, a ten centimeter wide triangular bracket with a height of three centimeters above the ground is placed on the left and right sides of the handle and the front. This way, even if the center of gravity is unstable and the car tilts, it can be avoided to the greatest extent. Roll over.
The triplets really like this car. As soon as they wake up, they look for the car, and when they get in, they clap their hands and ask to be pushed around the street.
Yu Jiaojiao is so busy during this period. Thanks to this car, Guo Xiuxiu can barely take care of the child by herself. However, Yu Jiaojiao is also considering whether to hire more people to help take care of the child.
She can still help Guo Xiuxiu at home now. When she gets really busy and runs around, Guo Xiuxiu has to look after the triplets and take care of the five older children. Although the five older children no longer need much care, they only need to take care of them. Just cooking for them is enough, but it is still a heavy burden for a man in his fifties.
It is imperative to find someone to help, the question is who to ask for.
Yu Jiaojiao is of course most at ease with her own mother.
But Sister-in-law Yu and Sister-in-law Yu of the Yu family also have little toddlers who can't live without people. It was better when Sister-in-law Yu was still at home. Now Sister-in-law Yu is busy with her own career. Sister-in-law Yu also has to go to work, and Sister-in-law Yu's mother is also impossible. She has been taking care of a grandson for many years, and she also has a biological grandson. It is not realistic at all to ask Yu's mother to come over.
But instead of looking for Yu¡¯s mother, Yu Jiaojiao went through it in her mind, and there was no reliable acquaintance she could turn to for help.
At night, Yu Jiaojiao mentioned the matter of finding someone again.
Zhao Pengcheng hesitated and said, "Would you mind finding someone older?"
Yu Jiaojiao: "How old? Too big is not enough. I am looking for someone to help take care of the child. I don't want to have multiple parents to take care of me."
Zhao Pengcheng: "She's not very old, she's in her forties, she's the mother of one of my classmates."
"Local? Don't they have to take care of their grandchildren?"
"No, I'm from out of town"
That classmate¡¯s life experience is quite ugly. He is the kind of person who is born with slow reactions. His IQ is not a problem, but no matter what he does, he is slower than others. In the eyes of normal people, he is stupid.
Because 'Silly' is a girl, her mother has not been welcomed by her family since she was a child. She works the most and eats the least, so she barely grows up. The eldest brother wants to get married, but the family is too poor to afford a wife, so she goes with another A family that was also poor and could not afford a daughter-in-law changed marriages.
That family is also a brother and sister, but the elder brother is in poor health and often gets sick, so the family is poorer than his grandma's family.
Although both families are poor, they are both good people. Although the classmate's mother is slow in doing things and slow in thinking, she is actually quite capable. In addition, although the man is always sick, he is actually quite good at carpentry. The two of them are He takes good care of his little family and even has enough money to send his only child to school.
?????????? It may be that things must be reversed at the extremes, or it may be that the father is smart enough. Their only child has been very smart since he was a child, and he has never been second in academic performance, but has always been first.
When he was in high school, his father got seriously ill again, and this time he couldn't survive the illness and died.
The result was good. Just after his father died, a shameless bystander was jealous of his house. He persuaded his clueless grandma with sweet words. She felt that her grandson would become a fool sooner or later if he had a mother like that. Don't say anything then. To support her in old age, she might have to drag her old arms and legs to take care of her stupid grandson. In this case, it is better to directly adopt a smart grandson, and wait a hundred years later for someone to throw a basin and hold a flag for her.
Yu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded when she heard this: "No, this grandma is a fool, right? Doesn't she know that her own grandson ranks first in the exam every year? If she leaves her own grandson alone and doesn't ask for someone else's grandson, is she out of her mind? Besides, , IQ is innate. Unless there is an accident, a smart person cannot become a fool. At most, he will not be as smart as he was when he was a child, but he is also a normal person. Why do you think that when you grow up, you will be like your mother? Become stupid?"
