Han Sishu sat in the crowd and listened for the whole night, watching the fellow villagers who came to listen to the "lecture" being fooled by Grandma He one by one.

Some of them were reluctant to leave even after the show ended and chased after Grandma He to ask if there were other places where they could find jobs for their daughters if neither the rice dumpling factory nor the restaurant wanted them.

After all, teenage girls are at their most embarrassing age.

Go out and work. Many places won’t accept you if you are under 18.

Let's go on a blind date and get married. As parents, we really can't bear it...

Finally, there was a kind-hearted Grandma He who was willing to give everyone some advice. The parents felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw and couldn't wait to cling to Grandma He's thighs and not let go.

Although Grandma He usually looks aloof, she actually has a soft heart.

Seeing that some of the people were really in financial difficulty at home, they actually kept four little girls at home to help.

This is why Jiang Tian called her two aunts and told them not to worry about the two old ladies working so hard.

With these four helpers, the He family's two elders can now live a very comfortable life.

Now Grandma He is responsible for sitting by the roadside every day, waiting for the morning market to end and collecting vegetables. Occasionally, there are people from the countryside selling vegetables, and if she sees the price is right, she will buy them too.

The collected fruits and vegetables were placed in the "small vegetable market" next door and the two girls were asked to help sell them. She gave each of the two girls one dollar a day and provided them with food and accommodation.

The parents of the two girls calculated the cost, and found that thirty yuan a month was almost four hundred yuan a year.

Plus, Grandma He often gives overtime pay, so this odd job, which looks insignificant, can actually earn back the money for the betrothal gift in less than two years...

However, compared with these two girls, the other two girls who took the "technical talent" route earned even more enviable money.

It turned out that after discovering that the "family vegetable market" run by the He family's second elder was doing good business, Jiang Tian thought about it and found another way for the two elders to make money.

She set up the fried skewers and barbecue stalls.

Anyway, my family runs a small market, and we may not be able to sell all the vegetables and meat every day. In the past, Grandma He used to make the unsold melons and vegetables into dried vegetables and the meat into bacon, so that they could be dried and sold again.

Now, the vegetables and meat that are not sold during the day can be processed into various fried and grilled skewers at night.

The TV was playing, and the yard was full of townspeople who came to watch TV and exchange gossip.

Over there, the fried skewers and barbecue stalls with overbearing aromas were booming. The cumin and chili peppers were sprinkled on them, and the fragrance was so sweet that it made people dizzy.

As for barbecue and fried skewers, if one person buys them, others around will definitely buy them.

Don’t ask why, the reason is that I’m greedy.

Making fried and grilled skewers requires a craft, and it also requires working night shifts, which is quite hard work. Therefore, after the training and taking up the job, the two girls' monthly salary was only 50 yuan in the first month. In the second month, looking at the profits of the barbecue stall, Grandma He directly raised it to 100 yuan, not including overtime pay after 10 o'clock in the evening.

However, we cannot favor the other two girls over others.

Grandma He asked the two people if they would like to help out at the barbecue stall in the evening, threading skewers, washing vegetables, etc., working four hours from six to ten in the evening, and she would pay them an extra dollar a day.

The two girls agreed without thinking.

Anyway, they live in the store now, and have nothing to do at night, so they just squeeze in with the crowd to watch TV. They might as well use this time to make some money.

Although you have to stay up late, in fact, it is not that hard to sleep after 10 o'clock.

Fortunately, they agreed to Grandma He’s request.

Because, in the second half of 1986, many units in society began to increase wages, and prices followed suit. After Grandma He raised the prices of her own products, she also raised the wages of the four girls who helped in the store.

Now, these four girls have become the family's breadwinners.

They usually eat and live in Grandma He's store. Since they are very busy with work, they don't spend much money. With a salary of two to three hundred yuan a month, they can at least bring two hundred yuan home!

Now, they don’t even need to beg, their families are reluctant to marry them off early…

Are you kidding me? Whose married daughter can send 200 yuan to her parents' home every month?

Besides, no matter how much the bride price is in the countryside, it is only a few thousand yuan at most.

In the past, this was indeed not a small amount of money and could solve many problems for the family.

But now? Haha~ they really don't care about this little money.

When the girl went home for the holiday, she said that her salary would increase in the future. If she gave her family 200 yuan a month this year, maybe she could give her family 300 yuan next year?

Three hundred yuan a month, that’s nearly four thousand yuan a year!

How can this be a girl waiting to get married?

This is clearly a hen that lays eggs!

They are just poor, not stupid.

Who the hell would sell their own hen that lays golden eggs just for a few thousand dollars in dowry?

At this moment, the parents of the four girls suddenly thought of what Grandma He had said to them.

Who says women are inferior to men?

The girl has been well-educated and has a promising future. How could she be unfilial to her parents?

Without talking about the distant past, let’s just talk about the He family elders themselves. Although they lost their son, their two daughters were promising. The men they married were not those rural rascals who waited for their family to pay a dowry to marry them. Their two sons-in-law, one was a military leader and the other was the director of a textile factory.

Just because of the reputation of their two sons-in-law, no one dared to provoke the two elders of the He family when they were doing business along the provincial road.

I heard that the big house that the He family elders live in now, the big color TV, and the freezer in the store were all purchased by their two sons-in-law.

Look! This is the benefit of raising a daughter well~

My daughter is excellent, so how bad can the son-in-law be?

The son-in-law is promising. Even if he doesn't have time to take care of his father-in-law, he can get a little bit of benefit from it. These ordinary people dare not even think about it...

Anyway, from that day on, the families of these four girls never forced their daughters to go on blind dates again.

Not only did they not force them to go on blind dates and get married, but every time the girls went home on vacation, they would be served with delicious food and drinks, and they would earnestly advise them to first learn some skills to make money.

She's just a teenage girl, it's not like she can't get married, so why are you in such a hurry?

This is really rare!

In the past, their families urged them to drop out of school and get married.

Now, their families are afraid that they will have a love affair and get themselves married off early.

The girl is so good at making money, let alone a thousand yuan dowry, even if the boy's family brings ten thousand yuan, they still won't be happy!
