In the afternoon, after Huang Xin got out of school, Huang Han pulled Zhang Fangfen and asked Huang Xin to carry the "backpack" for her mother to take a good look at.

Seeing that mother and daughter were both confused, Huang Han smiled and said: "Sister, you have been carrying this bag for three days, how do you feel?"

This time it tickled Huang Xin's skin, and she said: "The first day I went to school with my backpack on my back, I was surrounded by my classmates, and they all rushed to give it a try.

The classmates who tried it all asked me where they could buy it. I told them that my brother made it, but no one believed it except Li Mei.

Later, I told Li Mei the benefits of carrying a ‘backpack’, and she wanted her mother to buy cloth to make one for her.”

Huang Han said: "Mom, we have a sewing machine at home. If you have a cloth head to make a 'backpack', it will definitely look better and be stronger, right?"

"Yeah! I'll find a cloth head to start making it tomorrow. It will definitely look better than yours. You will have a 'backpack' to carry to school the day after tomorrow."

"I'm not asking you to help me make a 'backpack', but I'm going to turn the 'backpack' into a business. I've already ordered ten bundles of 'labour cloth' material, so I should be able to make quite a few.

"

"'Labor cloth'? That kind of cloth requires a stamp, so it's hard to buy!"

"The mother of Zhang Chunmei, our class monitor, works as a cadre at the Dongfanghong Cloth Factory. The day before yesterday, I asked her to help my family buy some 'labor cloth' rags.

Zhang Chunmei has informed me today that she can bring ten yuan to her mother to buy ten bundles of cloth tomorrow morning."

Obviously, Zhang Fangfen knew that "Dongfanghong Cloth Factory" sold cloth heads. She was surprised:

"It's so hard to buy cloth from the cloth factory. Can you really buy ten bundles at once? I know that child Zhang Chunmei. She is a warm-hearted person. How high an official in the cloth factory should her mother be?"

"The official doesn't need to be very old, as long as he can speak well. Does the 'labour cloth' have to be shrunk before it can be used?"

"You don't need to worry about this. You haven't told me yet, why did Zhang Chunmei's mother agree to help you, a little kid, buy cloth?"

"Because I have good academic performance, good ideological and moral character, and my sports scores are improving, I will definitely be a three-good student with all-round development of moral, intellectual, and physical skills this semester."

"Pfft!" Huang Xin couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

Zhang Fangfen suppressed her laughter and said: "We are talking about serious things! No nonsense allowed."

"Mother Zhang is an intellectual. She must have the intention to help my family. I will not let others help in vain. The first 'backpack' made by my family was given to my sister, the second one was given to Zhang Chunmei, and the third one was given to my sister."

Give it to Chengwen Pavilion."

"Yeah! Yeah! You're very considerate of that."

Huang Xin said: "Huang Han, there is no need to give me the first 'backpack' made at home, I can be the last one in line."

Huang Handao: "You are the most important in my heart, and I don't care if I return the favor sooner or later. I like to see you lively and cheerful the most, and I don't like to see you worried the most."

This is really what Huang Han is saying. When he was a child, his sister was too sensible and silently suffered a lot of unnecessary harm from a poor family. In Huang Han's eyes when he was a child, his sister rarely even laughed.

Huang Xin's impoverished childhood actually left a shadow on her, affecting her personality, making her unsociable and disdainful of flattery, which directly resulted in her not being able to get an official position even after working all her life.

Huang Xin was moved, looked at her brother with big eyes and said sincerely: "I am very happy during this time. Many classmates are extremely envious that I have a good brother. By the way, can you also give Li Mei a 'backpack'?"

?”

"What's wrong with this?"

"Great, I will go to her house later and tell her not to buy cloth, and I will give her a beautiful 'backpack'. Hehe, she didn't know how happy she would be when she heard the good news.

"

Zhang Fangfen said: "We should return the favor to the Li family. During this period, Li Mei gave our family a lot of food stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps and tofu stamps."

This is true. Almost every family is short of meat tickets. Among the dozens of neighbors, only Li Mei's family and Liu Xiaoming's family may have a surplus.

The reason is very simple. If the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, the director of the county government guesthouse and the director of the county food company office will not be able to buy meat?

Huang Han said seriously at this time: "Mom, I have a request."

"What's the request?"

"My family may make dozens or hundreds of 'backpacks'."

Zhang Fangfen said: "Are you making so many? Are you going to sell them on the street?"

Huang Xin praised: "Huang Han, you are so smart. The 'backpack' will definitely be easy to sell. It will definitely make a lot of money!"

"I plan to sell 'backpacks', but in order to make more money, I don't plan to sell them in Sanshui County."

Zhang Fangfen was very smart and understood immediately, and said, "Are you planning to save too much and take it to Shanghai to sell?"

"Yes! The economic level of Shanghai City is a hundred times a thousand times stronger than that of Sanshui County. No matter how much is transported, it can be sold, and the price will not be low.

With our small-scale model of making ‘backpacks’, just a few hundred would be too much to make. I estimate that if I ask Cheng Wenge’s father to take them to Shanghai, I will be able to sell them all in a few days.”

"Well! Although I have never been to Shanghai, I have heard people say that there is a 'Ten Mile Foreign Market' and a 'Big World' there.

If I really take the 'backpack' to sell in Shanghai, I will definitely be able to sell it at a good price. But I can't make a few every day, and I won't have so much material."

"You don't have to worry about materials. My family has become a related household of the Dongfanghong Cloth Factory. Buying some cloth should be able to last for a while.

For such a large factory, there will be a lot of defective products and waste materials, and the small quantity we need should be able to meet our needs."

"I can really keep up with the materials. I can make them with two or three hands and I will be familiar with them. From now on, I promise to be able to make at least two a day."

"No, no, mom, my request is very simple. I just want to do the 'backpack' business, and I also want you not to be too tired.

This is just like how dad can make money without having to catch crayfish himself."

Zhang Fangfen was somewhat used to her son's witty wit, so she didn't scold him at all and asked, "What other great ideas did you come up with?"

“Everyone makes money when there is money, and the wealth does not go to outsiders.”

"Haha, that's true. Tell me what are your plans?"

"From now on, your main responsibility is to check the quality of the 'backpack'. If you find any areas where the sewing is not secure, reinforce it.

My family can pay the fifth aunt and the aunt to do the sewing. If there is enough fabric, we can also ask the uncle's eldest daughter Xiaoxue, the second daughter Xiaoyu, and the uncle's Xiu'er and Yu'er.

I guess they will be very happy to earn one dollar working seven or eight hours a day, and their family's economic conditions will immediately improve a lot."

Zhang Fangfen's eyes widened and she stared at Huang Han without blinking.

"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"My mind is a bit hard to turn around. Are you the one who figured this out?"

"yes?"

"Why do you think so much?"

"Just think about it, it's all obvious."

"I have long wanted to help your aunt. Although she has a job, her salary is even less than your father's. Your uncle spends all his time writing novels. Not only does he not earn a penny, he also wastes paper money and money.

Postage.

Auntie, it’s hard! I found a ‘half bottle of vinegar’. Although the family of five has a ration, their life is not much better than ours, and they only have white rice to eat.”

Strange to say, most of the elders in the Huang Han family, including most of their relatives, consider themselves scholars. They are all poor and want to save face and suffer.
