Return to 90 and start a career

After staying at grandma's house for a day, Li Manjun's family returned.

Instead of staying in the heather, the family of three went directly back to Rongcheng. There were only the last three days of the annual vacation left, and Zhao Yong also wanted to rest more.

Domestic holidays are rarely a relaxing time for young people. In Li Manjun's view, they are all about human relationships, which is very tiring.

Only when I return to my home in Rongcheng can I feel relaxed.

The family of three rested for three days. They cooked at home. After eating, they took the children downstairs for a walk. None of the friends went to pay New Year greetings.

Because Li Manjun gave away all the New Year's gifts years ago, just to free up two days during the New Year, so that the family of three could spend time by themselves.

Holidays are always short. Work will resume on the 7th, and Li Manjun and his wife will also go to work.

Li Manjun went to two places a day. In the morning, he went to Lvman as usual to follow up on the hotel's construction progress.

Most of the migrant workers returned after the Lantern Festival. The construction site can't start work yet, and they can't be urged. Long Hao's demolition team finally got their turn to take a vacation, but they didn't come to work.

Li Manjun walked into the office in the morning. It was empty except for a few people on the shift schedule. They were idle and didn't know what to do.

If nothing happens, Li Manjun will go to the R\u0026D institute not far away and work according to the situation.

I usually sit there until about 4:30 in the afternoon and then start thinking about getting off work.

The Chinese New Year has just ended, and everyone is not in good working condition. After two days of adapting, the normal work rhythm returned.

There was news about Li Wei's training class, but she couldn't find a suitable hotel training class.

Li Manjun thought for a while and decided to find You Xiang when he had time.

But now she has no time, and her mother suddenly called.

"Your aunt is officially laid off. You said she has been working at the company for half her life. It is really difficult to suddenly ask her to find something to do. How will she live in the future?" Wang Xiaojuan sighed, with a strong sense of empathy.

Because it was even harder than this when she was laid off.

Wang Xiaochan has no children, but now she seems to have no burden. When she was laid off, she still had two children at home who had to go to school.

And I don’t have any savings. Looking back now, I feel uncomfortable.

She can also endure hardships better than Wang Xiaochan, but Wang Xiaochan went to school, graduated, worked, and got married smoothly.

Of course, after the investment failure five years ago, I have grown a lot.

But in Wang Xiaojuan's opinion, this kind of growth cannot be tolerated. If you ask her to live a careful life, people will probably become perverted.

Li Manjun doesn't understand their pessimism, because she has never worked in a state-owned enterprise, and she doesn't know what it's like to earn a stable salary. She is a worker in a large factory and is just a social animal.

"Isn't my uncle still working in the factory? They have no children and no debts. It's just two people living together. Is it really so stressful?"

Wang Xiaojuan sighed "Alas", "Don't you know, your aunt? A person who treats two yuan as a flower has never suffered hardship since she was a child. Does she know what thrift is?"

"Besides, your uncle's family is not rich. The old people are still in the countryside. As they get older, they have more places to spend money."

Wang Xiaojuan couldn't help but worry for her little sister when she thought of this, "Everyone tries to give her some advice. She doesn't want to do it, but she doesn't want to do it. She's so old, she still treats her like a flower, and she still has high demands for a job." , she must be able to put on makeup and dress freely, as if she didn’t have to wear work clothes in the factory before.”

Li Manjun listened and felt that this was completely different from the aunt he knew.

In my impression, my aunt is not so pretentious, right?

Curious, Li Manjun asked, "My aunt is quite happy to be alone. Mom, is this still my aunt you are talking about?"

"It's her, it's her!" Wang Xiaojuan said angrily: "A person who has been decent for half his life can't accept this gap now, and his mentality has changed a bit."

Working in a workplace, in the 1980s and 1990s, was a very respectable job, requiring status and finances. Whenever you went to any place and people asked you what you did, you would reply that you were in so-and-so. A big factory or a certain unit will be looked down upon.

Although it is the late 1990s, doing business in the sea is no worse than having a latte rice bowl, but in small places, people's perceptions have not changed with the changes of the times.

If you think about it this way, you can understand Wang Xiaochan's current awkwardness and pretentiousness.

Being laid off is already synonymous with misery, and she is a strong-willed person like her, so she can only look for a better job and never settle for anything less.

After hearing her mother's complaints, Li Manjun said, "How about we let my aunt come to the city? There are a lot of acquaintances in the county, and there are a lot of gossips."

"It shouldn't be difficult for auntie to find a clerical job, she's not even forty yet."

Wang Xiaojuan snorted, "I'll be 40 next month."

Li Manjun shook his head helplessly and continued: "Forty is forty. There are many business opportunities in the city, and it is better to open a shop and work than in the county."

Wang Xiaojuan clicked her tongue twice, not optimistic, "When you come to the city, you and your wife will be separated. It's okay for a short time, but who can bear it in the long run?"

She was even more afraid that there would be problems in her younger sister's marriage. The two of them had no children. If they separated and their relationship faded, wouldn't they just divorce?

Li Manjun was speechless and gave another suggestion, "How about opening a hardware store as my uncle said? You can make a lot of money as a self-employed person. Being rich these days means being respectable. Why don't you care about so many things."

Wang Xiaojuan paused and didn't speak for three or four seconds. Just when Li Manjun thought she didn't want to talk anymore and was about to hang up, Wang Xiaojuan finally said what she wanted to say most.

"Manjun, you see, it's not easy for your aunt. You start your own company, right? It shouldn't be difficult to arrange a job as a clerk or something for your aunt, right?"

Li Manjun's mind buzzed. Hey, wait for her. What he just said was all nonsense.

"Mom, next time if you have something to say, can you tell me directly? I'm also very busy. I've wasted twenty minutes by talking to you for so long." Li Manjun said angrily.

Her tone rarely became calmer, and Wang Xiaojuan also felt guilty. She responded hurriedly, and then asked expectantly:

"This is your aunt?"

Li Manjun did not answer directly, but just asked: "Aren't you afraid that there will be problems in your long-distance marriage?"

"If you're working in your own company, then there's nothing to be afraid of. You can still go home on weekends." Wang Xiaojuan said with a smile.

Li Manjun made her laugh, "I'm idle now. I don't know what to do. The salary is not high."

"It's okay, it's okay, that's about right." Wang Xiaojuan hurriedly agreed.

After saying that, he still couldn't help but remind him, "After all, we are all members of our own family, so we can't keep it too low if we don't let the wealth flow to other people's fields."

"Two hundred and twenty a month, rent subsidy of thirty thirty per month, come and be my secretary, what do you think?" Li Manjun raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that this arrangement was not bad.

She happens to be short of a secretary. My aunt has experience in clerical work, so she should be able to get started quickly.
