Then Gu Mingyue turned her gaze to Sun Shugao, the only person present who surprised her.
Liu Caixia came to her specifically and said that this young man had very deft hands and that he could easily succeed in some crocheting work that many people in the workshop could not do so delicately.
All the ornaments that passed through his hands were extremely exquisite without exception.
Earlier, Sun Shugao heard that he could make money by doing handicrafts, so he tentatively asked Liu Caixia about it, and the latter readily agreed.
However, the work assigned to him at the beginning was simple splicing, which was to sew several pieces of cloth together. This did not require very high skills, and all he needed was the ability to do needlework.
Seeing that he was efficient and good, Liu Caixia let him try out complex styles, but unexpectedly, this exposed his talent in this area.
Gu Mingyue said to him, "You were doing odd jobs before, with low wages and irregular work. Are you interested in staying at the handicraft workshop permanently? The salary is good. I know that your craftsmanship is very good. If you go there, you will start at least at the technical guidance level. I heard that many people there think highly of you and have been competing with me for a long time to recruit you."
Sun Shugao looked embarrassed and did not agree immediately, nor did he reject the proposal.
Seeing him like this, Gu Mingyue asked in confusion, "Is there a problem? It's okay. If you don't like it, don't force yourself. I'll arrange other work for you."
Sun Shugao blurted out "I like it" in a hurry. Then he hesitated for a while and said frankly, "I'm just afraid of being laughed at by others. Also, my family is very opposed to me getting involved in these women's things. I... I'm afraid of disappointing them."
"What is a woman supposed to do?" Gu Mingyue suddenly asked.
Sun Shu looked up, a little stunned. "Huh?"
Gu Mingyue said seriously, "Except for childbirth, men cannot replace men. At all times, men and women are equal. There is no rule that requires men to do something or women to do something. Just like when I assign tasks to you, I don't look at gender, but focus on ability. In this view, I think your family is too one-sided. To be honest, I don't agree. But if you say that you are considering the feelings of your family, I have nothing to say."
Sun Shugao said frustratedly, "I like to do handicrafts. Whether it's knitting or tailoring, I feel I am good at it. Often, I can quickly find the tricks for parts that are difficult for others to complete. But since I found out that I am good at these things, not only my parents scold me, but some friends also make fun of me. They all say that I am abnormal and that I am a sissy."
"What I said may not be accurate, just listen to it. There is a saying that no one can truly empathize with others, even their loved ones. Everyone only thinks about problems from their own perspective. Your parents care about you because they are afraid that their children will go astray, so they guide them in the right direction they think. But life is like a pair of shoes. Only your feet know whether it fits you. For example, I am also speaking from a personal perspective. Because the handicraft workshop lacks good skills like yours, I will advise you for the sake of efficiency. Putting aside status, vanity, and emotions, if we don't know each other, even if I know you do handicrafts, I will not be surprised or care. It's like walking on the street and seeing someone dressed differently, I will only feel novelty, pass by, and even forget their appearance. Anyway, my attitude towards life is that I can't satisfy everyone, so I can only make myself satisfied first. Life is your own, and you can only experience the ups and downs of life yourself."
Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Sun Shugao was excited and wanted to try to be himself, but the suppression of his family over the years has always made him unable to make up his mind. He begged, "Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"No problem. Once you've made up your mind, you're welcome to come see me anytime."
"Wu Shengli, Gao Shan, He Linfeng..." Gu Mingyue called out the names of the three and asked, "You have two options. One is to join the militia. This position is easier than farming, but it is non-stop all year round. Even if the villagers are in hibernation, they still need to take turns on duty. There are training sessions during normal times, and they have to go into the mountains for winter hunting, which may be dangerous. The other is to do sales. In the past two years, the village has had a bumper soybean harvest, and the soy product workshop has a supply that exceeds demand. The village decided to set up a sales team to try to sell it to the surrounding areas. If it succeeds, it would be the best. If not, we will study other solutions. This is a later story. Due to the shelf life of soy products, its limitation is that it cannot be stored for too long. Your job is to go to nearby towns to get orders. Although it is only in the surrounding areas, the distance between villages is not close, and many of them are rugged mountain roads. In addition, the customs of different places are different. Not only does it require perseverance and patience, but also quick reaction. If you are unwilling to do either of the above, continue to work in the fields and arrange it later when there is another opportunity."
Gao Shan was dejected when he entered the door. Recent events had dealt him a heavy blow. He had become much calmer now, but he still felt a little awkward when facing Gu Mingyue.
He prefers the sales job because it allows him to travel around. He took the initiative to ask, "How are sales work hours determined?"
"You can arrange your own time. I won't ask about the process. I only look at the results. As long as you have orders, you will be given a certain degree of freedom. The village will not interfere with what you do. The only requirements are, first, you can't stay out all night; second, you can't cheat; third, you can't have affairs. The probation period is two months. During this period, the village will provide minimum guarantees. Basic food will be distributed according to the standards for women and children. You won't be hungry, but it's enough to have enough. After two months, those who have no results will be persuaded to quit. For those who have orders, their treatment will be calculated according to the size of the orders and distributed according to work. In a word, everything will be fine if you have orders. If you don't have orders, you should step down and let others do the right thing."
He Linfeng was the first to speak, "I choose the militia."
Before the He family got into trouble, he had been preparing to join the conscription, but due to his status, he was unable to continue. Now that he had this opportunity, he could exercise and take care of his grandfather nearby, so he was very happy.
Moreover, if he joined the militia, he could use patrol as an excuse to go to the foot of the mountain openly, so he made the choice without hesitation.
Wu Shengli subconsciously glanced at Wu Meiqi, who said to him, "Brother, don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
Then he turned to Gu Mingyue and asked, "Can you give me some time? I want to decide after I finish the accounting exam."
Gu Mingyue recognized his tone and agreed, "Okay. During this time, you should continue to do your previous work."
Then she turned her gaze to Gao Shan. "What's your decision?"
"I'll go to the sales team."
"Okay, go directly to the soy product workshop tomorrow morning. I will arrange for someone to take you to familiarize yourself with it first."
"Sorry for the trouble." Gao Shan thanked politely.
