Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: You Call Me Fat, and I’m Even Huffing

The salary and benefits here are not inferior to those of state-owned factories, with a base salary of ten yuan. Although processing a piece of clothing earns only a few cents, in the end, it’s not less than the permanent workers in the large state-owned factories, and it’s closer to home.

After spending a few days together, Chen Manjuan already understood this person’s temperament and wasn’t angry with her: "As long as you work well and produce fewer defective goods, even if we don’t need you temporarily after the New Year, when we’re busy, you’ll definitely be the first person they’ll think of. Asking more questions isn’t as good as working well, don’t you think?"

The woman laughed but didn’t stop working: "Yes, yes, yes, Manager Chen is right. I’m just thinking that the benefits here are good, hoping to stay if possible."

Chen Manjuan said loudly: "You have to work well to have the chance to stay. We keep the best workers."

Saying this, she took Xinyan to the fabric warehouse: "Given the current sales pace, these fabrics will last about a week, but Tianze said that the fabric is already on its way and should arrive within a day or two."

Xinyan took out two design sketches from her bag: "You can make a few sets of these to sell alongside the previous ones. With the New Year coming soon, we might attract some repeat customers. After all, people with money wouldn’t mind buying an extra set or two of new clothes."

Thinking about the heavy production tasks these days: "Isn’t there a sewing machine in the second courtyard? If we’re too busy, we should hire a few temporary sewing workers, but make sure they are skilled."

Chen Manjuan looked at the design sketches with a gleam of excitement in her eyes: "Okay, I’ll handle this in the afternoon and aim to get these two sets of clothes made as early as possible."

At home in the suburb of Beijing

Gu Wanqing was reviewing documents.

Han Jingchen came in with a bag of strawberries: "How long have you been reading? Take a break and see what I’ve brought you."

Gu Wanqing smiled gently: "Why are you home early? What did you bring?"

Han Jingchen opened the bag: "Take a look for yourself."

Gu Wanqing saw the bag was full of bright red strawberries, her face lit up with joy: "Where did these come from?"

She didn’t expect to be able to eat strawberries in the middle of winter.

Han Jingchen handed the bag to Sister Chen who just came out: "Help wash some for us to try."

After saying that, he sat beside Gu Wanqing: "They were picked from Yanyan’s backyard. She called me the day before yesterday, telling me to pick some when I had time. Today, the meeting ended early, so I didn’t go back to the office."

Gu Wanqing teased him: "Oh, Director Han actually left work early?"

Han Jingchen laughed out loud: "It’s the end of the day anyway, might as well come straight home."

Gu Wanqing continued teasing: "Hmm, pretty clever."

Han Jingchen, hearing this, reached to touch Gu Wanqing’s belly: "If I wasn’t clever, would you have liked me? Would our young lady be so outstanding?"

His proud expression made Gu Wanqing laugh: "Think you’re smart, do you?"

Han Jingchen rested his head on Gu Wanqing’s belly: "I’m just speaking the truth. Our little darling is bound to be very smart when born."

Gu Wanqing looked down at her belly, playing along proudly: "Of course, who’s the baby’s parents anyway?"

The couple exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter.

Sister Chen brought out a plate of washed strawberries: "Quick, have a taste."

Since Gu Wanqing got pregnant, she’s had cravings. It’s been fortunate that the father and daughter frequently bring fresh fruit and food home, and she noticed she’s gained a bit of weight lately.
