Chapter 53

Xu Xiaoying's condition is not good, and she often stares blankly at a question for a long time without writing. Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing know her current mood and try to find some relaxing topics, but talking for a long time has no effect. The two of them are really not good at making this kind of thing. . . .

The state was not right, and the accuracy and speed of the three of them were not very good. After chatting casually, Wu Qingqing and Xu Xiaoying packed their things and went home.

Ling Xiaoxiao was somewhat impetuous by Xu Xiaoying, and the rhythm of doing the questions these days was also a little tight, so she didn't feel in the mood to continue after reading the questions for a long time.

When Ling's father and Ling's mother came back, they could smell the strong smell of meat as soon as they entered the door. Ling's father happily changed his shoes and went into the kitchen to have a look. It turned out to be his favorite braised pork.

"Da Bao'er, why do you have time to cook for us today?" The gas station has passed the busiest period, the oil tank has been buried, and the rest of the project is not easy to involve safety issues, so Ling's father is not as good as before. Nervous, I can come back from get off work on time every day.

"Yeah, Da Bao'er, haven't you been very busy recently? Why do you suddenly have such thoughts today?" Ling Ma joked after changing her clothes.

Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at them helplessly. Her parents were getting more and more out of tune, and she could even tease her daughter: "You are all back, let's have dinner."

There is no rule in their family not to talk when eating or sleeping, so the dinner table is always a time for the family of three to chat.

"Mom, I heard from Xiaoying that the sugar factory issued a notice yesterday and issued a big list. A large number of people will be laid off and unemployed. Is that true?" It's in Mama Ling's bowl.

"That's what happened. This time it's a big mess. There are too many people who have been laid off. Many people went to the county government today." Ling Ma threw the pork belly into her mouth and said it nonchalantly.

"I also heard people talking at the gas station today. There are too many people who have been laid off. The county is going to be in chaos for a while." Papa Ling said with a sigh.

"Yeah, the factory is probably going to be closed." Ling Ma put down the bowl and looked at the father and daughter: "The factory has not been profitable in the past few years, and the farmers are not even paid for their sugar beets, and the old farmers are not willing to plant them anymore. Beets. Because there were too few beets in the previous production period, the processing period did not last until the Chinese New Year."

The more Ling Ma said, the more she sighed: "Fortunately, I came out first last year. If I were laid off along with them, I would definitely not be able to do anything."

When Ling Ma said this, the atmosphere in the room was a bit gloomy, and Ling Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Xiaoying said that her parents are all on the list, and after receiving this month's basic salary at the end of the month, the factory doesn't care about anything anymore. She Parents are wondering what to do now."

"It's not easy to do anything in our small county," Ling's mother also sighed, "I know about Xiaoying's mother, it's okay to have a job in the factory with her temperament, but it's not easy to do it by herself. .”

"Yes, Xiaoying also knows that she is very worried now, and I want you to help me find out where there is a lack of people, let me introduce you." Ling Xiaoxiao thought of Xu Xiaoying's request and hurriedly told her parents.

"It's probably not easy." Ling's father put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at them: "The profits of several factories in the county have not been good. The sugar factory is only the first to issue a notice. It is estimated that the next few factories will also be affected. Notices will be issued accordingly, and more people will be laid off at that time, and everyone will be looking for work at that time, and there is really a shortage of people, so it is estimated that there will be no rush to recruit people.”

Ling Xiaoxiao also knew what Ling's father said, but she still worried about her good friend, but this kind of thing should not be rushed for a while.

Ling's mother seemed to think of something, and suddenly laughed, with a complicated expression on her face, a little proud, relieved, and gloating: "Do you know? The team leader before me, Zhao Yan, was also laid off, and even our workshop director did not." Can be spared. They have walked sideways in the workshop for so many years, and now they have to come out to find a job with everyone, no matter how I think about it, I feel relieved."

After being told by Ling Ma, Ling Xiaoxiao patted her forehead and forgot about these two characters!They bullied Ling Ma in the workshop before, and those two were the ones who bullied her the most. Sure enough, there is a cause and effect in this world. They probably never thought that this day would come to pass!
When Dad Ling heard that these two people were also laid off, he smiled unkindly: "When they bullied you, they certainly never thought that the factory would close down one day, thinking that they could run rampant in the factory for a lifetime, haha, let's see if they can do it after they are laid off. do something."

"Do what you like, let's live our little life well, don't care what they do, let's live a better life, making them look jealous is the greatest revenge." Ling Ma picked up the soup bowl, beautifully Take a sip.

"That's right, let's ignore these two people. We just need to be happy every day and live a prosperous life." Ling Xiaoxiao also expressed her position. She is very supportive of Ling Ma's ideas. What is resentment and revenge? They are too energy-consuming, they are all optimistic and cheerful people, life is so beautiful, why spend energy on irrelevant people?
Father Ling knew what Ling Ma and Ling Xiaoxiao were thinking, and he also smiled. No one in the family of three mentioned Zhao Yan and the others, but chatted affectionately over soup.

"Girl, your results in the unified examination are very good this time. You surpassed Qingqing and got No. 1." Father Ling finally had time to care about his daughter's studies after being busy for several days.

"You guys don't know yet? Our eldest Bao'er is very good now. Judging from her current strength, she can even be admitted to Bincheng No. [-] Middle School." Ling Ma can be very proud these days, every day in the store. It's a haughty look, which makes my aunt laugh at her all the time.

"Hehe," Father Ling scratched his hair and smiled uncomfortably, "I'm busy these days, but it will be fine in the future. The foundation of the gas station has been laid, and I don't have to leave early and return late."

"It's okay, Dad, you're busy with your work. It's useless even if you ask me every day. You don't have to do it by yourself when you read books and do the questions, and you can't help me." I don't see it at all now.

"Look, our eldest Bao'er is so sensible, she knows I'm busy, so she won't be angry with me." Ling's father looked proudly at Ling's mother with a little provocation.

Ling Ma smiled helplessly: "You're still like a child when you're old."

"Da Bao'er, you are about to take the high school entrance examination, are you busy with your studies? I think you go to bed late every day, will it be too hard?" Ling Ma has been very busy since she opened the shop and has no time to take care of Ling Xiaoxiao. Li still feels very guilty towards his daughter.

"It's not hard, don't worry," Ling Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly at her parents: "Our study rhythm is not so tight now, I just habitually read books and do questions at night, just keep the rhythm, you guys It's as serious as you think."

Ling's father and Ling's mother took a closer look at her complexion, her face was rosy and energetic, she looked really good, and her heart was more than half relieved.

"Girl, you should also pay more attention, don't stretch yourself too tightly." Father Ling still explained with concern.

"I know it in my heart, I still have to study hard, and I'm going to be admitted to Bincheng No. [-] Middle School, so don't worry about it." The body is the capital of the revolution, so she is not so stupid.
