The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 473 I want to open a carpentry shop

Liang Xinyue thought seriously about who she could ask for help.

"Dad, how about we renovate the store and hire a few carpenters? You don't have to do it yourself, you just need to watch them do it."

Father Liang waved his hand and said:

"How can I not work? I still have a lot of strength. If I don't work every day, I will get moldy."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Dad, I'm not asking you to just sit there and do nothing. I'm saying that you should teach others how to do it and watch them do it. Otherwise, I'll open a store in the provincial capital, and when you're done, I'll take truckloads of it to sell."

Dad Liang said in surprise:

"Oh, to open a store, we need a lot of baby carriages. Look, we only have these now."

"So, I said, hire a few people to help you, and try to make two or three every day."

Father Liang thought for a moment and said:

"But you also said last time that it won't take long for people to learn this line of work and start doing it."

"Dad, can we make more than just a stroller?"

Liang Xinyue suddenly thought of all the new-style furniture from her previous life.

“We can also make new styles of furniture.”

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"Or, I'll look for Liu Qianjin. He has good skills and I'd like to work with him."

Liang's father didn't know whether he should hire someone:

"Talk to your brother about this. I don't understand this either."

Liang Xinyue talked about this with Liang Jun after dinner:

"But who will you let look after your store in the provincial capital?"

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Sister Liao. Sister Liao said a few days ago that her daughter will also work in the provincial capital next year. Her family has a house in the provincial capital, and she can't let her daughter live in her brother's house."

Therefore, Sister Liao told her that she could let Long Xiaomei be the manager of the vegetable store at this time. Long Xiaomei is a well-educated girl, and the planting in the valley is now taken over by the group.

Although the military wives still have some income from selling vegetables, it is not as much as before when they followed Liang Xinyue.

Liang Xinyue said:

"Sister Liao is still saying that she doesn't know what to do in the provincial capital. She'll probably just buy groceries and cook every day. If I ask her to help run our store and I pay her a salary, she will definitely agree."

Liang Xinyue calculated the time and found that a new era would be born soon. There would be more and more people doing business in the future, and it would be great if she could establish a foothold in the provincial capital in advance.

If it's suitable, I'll buy a house and send my children to the provincial capital to study, which will always be better than here.

Liang Xinyue calculated that in three to five years at most, when he could bring some success to the agriculture in Xihuai County, she would definitely want to move to the provincial capital.

It would be nice if I could become a teacher at the Agricultural University.

So, when she knew that the Agricultural University had given her a lecturer's work permit, she was actually very happy as she had one more option for her future.

Liang Xinyue really took this matter to heart. When she went to the countryside again the next day, she happened to see Liu Qianjin at the construction site of the battle.

"Captain Liu, I have something I want to talk to you about. It's a private matter."

Liu Qianjin's carpentry skills are very good. It was passed down from his ancestors, but he couldn't bring them into full play in this era.

Liang Xinyue called Liu Qianjin aside and briefly said:

"This is a business that my family wants to start, but it's my father who's in charge. You know, my brother is the only one in my family who knows a little about carpentry. I have some ideas. I want to open a shop in the provincial capital that specializes in carpentry and can accept custom furniture."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the other things like food, lodging and furniture. You just need to focus on your craftsmanship. Your family's ancestral craftsmanship really can't be wasted. Also, we'll split the profits in half."

"We need to buy some wood first, and I'll pay for it. You just need to bring your son to help with the carpentry work. Is that okay?"

Then, Liang Xinyue said:

"I will hire someone to sell our furniture. So, our only expense is to pay a few salaries. Do you think it's okay? Go back and discuss it with my sister-in-law. Don't tell anyone else about it in advance. If you think it's feasible, I will start buying a house and renting a shop in the provincial capital."

Liu Qianjin was very surprised at first. He hadn’t reacted yet. How could this be such a good thing?

Liang Xinyue continued:

"When the time comes, you can bring your son with you. Maybe your son can find you a daughter-in-law in the provincial capital. It's better than letting the young people stay in the countryside forever, right?"

Liang Xinyue knew that the income in Xinshui Village was high now, so she said:

"I can't guarantee that my income will be higher than that of Xinshui Village, but it will definitely not be worse. At least, my father and brother make some baby chairs and strollers every morning and evening. They sell well in the provincial capital and we still earn about 1,000 yuan a month."

"One thousand dollars?"

Liu Qianjin was a little surprised. One thousand a month is more than ten thousand a year.

Although the money distributed by Xinshui Village each time is not small, it does not reach one thousand per family per month.

And now they are just making some small things, but if they really start making furniture in the future, it will be really good.

Liu Qianjin looked at Liang Xinyue. If there was a woman he really admired, it would be Liang Xinyue.

This girl looks thin and weak, but she always does great things. I am not well educated, but since I met Comrade Liang, I can see that this girl has a good vision and way of doing things, and she always does great things.

Think about how many people in this county have thought about having water, but it was only this girl who actually made it happen. Now that the canal has been built, there is no need to worry about lack of water when growing crops in the future.

Think about my own family. I and my son go out to work, but my wife, daughter and younger son are still at home. The three of them are now considered labor force and can earn a good income.

But Liu Qianjin still knew that this was a big deal and he had to go back and talk to his wife.

Today Liang Xinyue only went to see the canals built along the way as a result of the great battle. They were really good and the quality was well controlled.

Then Xiaoxue drove to Daoliang Village.

When they went there, all the land in front of Daoliang Village that had been remeasured was also turned over.

It is said that Lao Liu saw that it was not going to work, and he could not let the team down. If he made a mistake, it would affect the progress. So they also started a small battle in the village.

They actually lit torches and plowed the fields all night long. Those who had worked on the construction site all day came back and worked in the fields again all night long, and only went home to sleep in the middle of the night.

Thanks to their efforts, when Liang Xinyue arrived, all the land except the last 300 acres had been plowed.

Liang Xinyue said to Lao Liu:

"Yes, but there are still some ditches that need to be dug. Drainage ditches are very important. By the way, have you asked people to dig the two pits I drew? If they are dug, I will mobilize the young and old in the village to cut grass and make fertilizer."
