return to the third grade

Chapter 58 Talk
Xu Xiaoying originally hated these people who appeared suddenly, but now that Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to distribute the mushrooms they had finally picked to outsiders, she definitely didn't want to. Qingqing grabbed her.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side looked at the three of them and still smiled gently: "No need, little girl, it's not easy for you to pick mushrooms. How can we adults snatch them from you?"

Xu Xiaoying snorted softly behind Ling Xiaoxiao, but the voice was not loud, and the other party probably didn't hear it.

Seeing a few people, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't force it, she didn't come just to be polite.

"Little girl, are you just out of the exam to relax?"

The young man behind the middle-aged man with two bags in his hands came over and said a few words to him softly, and seeing the indifferent middle-aged man wave his hand, the speaker retreated behind him again.

"Yeah, we just finished the exam." Ling Xiaoxiao asked and answered politely.

"How is it? How did you do in the exam? Judging from your age, you should still be in middle school."

"Well, we are all students in the third grade of junior high school. We should pass the exam well, and we can almost do business with our parents."

"Oh? It's not bad if you can do business. By the way, what do your parents do?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ling Xiaoxiao's heart moved. She glanced at Xu Xiaoying from the corner of her eye, then gave Wu Qingqing another wink, and then said: "My parents are both employees of the sugar factory. I don't know what to do."

"They're all employees of the sugar factory, so what do you think about your parents being laid off this time?" The middle-aged man leaned forward slightly.

Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said in a low voice: "There must be some ideas. Our family is not in a good mood recently. After all, they have worked in the factory for half their lives. If they say they are laid off, they will be laid off. The iron rice bowl will be gone all at once. , Now that I am too old, I don't know what to do.

Besides, for a working family like ours, life has not been good these years. The factory has not been able to pay wages, and life has always been tight. Now there is no income suddenly, and the family has no savings. I don't know what to do with tuition fees. "

The middle-aged man was slightly startled when he heard Ling Xiaoxiao's words, as if he didn't expect Ling Xiaoxiao to say so much, and besides, he was so rude.

Ling Xiaoxiao seemed to have not seen the middle-aged man's expression, and continued: "My parents are in their 40s. They don't want to go out to find work these days, because they think they are old. My parents worry about it every day. It’s not working, and I don’t know what to do.”

After Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she kept looking at the middle-aged man and the people behind him. After hearing these words, the middle-aged man was in deep thought, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes lowered, in a standard thinking manner.

Some of the people behind him were embarrassed, while others were ashamed. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at them, and the guesses in her heart were almost confirmed.

"Little girl, I know your parents' difficulties, but there are also difficulties in the factory. Our county's finances can no longer support it." The middle-aged man finally sighed, as if he was confessing and explaining.

"Layoffs are a foregone conclusion. What's the use of saying right or wrong now? We just hope that the county can give these employees an explanation, or give them a follow-up arrangement. So many people are unemployed all at once, relying on scattered recruitment It simply cannot solve the employment problem of so many people.”

In the previous life, these workers could still receive a sum of compensation after being laid off. Regardless of the amount, it at least shows that the county leaders are sympathetic to these employees. It is much better for people to get a job again than to spend a little bit of compensation money that will be gone.

"Little girl, the number of jobs in the county is really limited. We can't arrange so many laid-off workers all at once. We can only find a way to do this." The middle-aged man sighed, with a sense of helplessness in his tone.

It's not easy to arrange, this Ling Xiaoxiao also knows, but she has something to say when she has the opportunity: "We can re-establish some enterprises in our county, such as some specialty products in the county and other distinctive things , can be packaged and sold.”

"Oh? Little girl, do you think there are any good things in our county that can be sold outside?" The middle-aged man couldn't help becoming interested when he heard Ling Xiaoxiao's words.

"There are quite a lot of mushrooms here, for example, the forest is so big, usually when everyone comes to pick it, they just light up the outside, and few people come in inside. Every time it rains, the mushrooms in the pine forest There are a lot, and these can be sold. These are green and pollution-free foods, which are very popular among city people;

Also, our potatoes and soybeans are very good. The county collects the grain uniformly, and then packages it under a brand name and sells it in the city. It’s fine. "

Ling Xiaoxiao thought back to her previous life that organic vegetables in big supermarkets were very expensive, but the sales were always good. In the future, no matter where people are, they will pay attention to food safety, and they have a great interest in green and pollution-free food. demand.If the crops in the county can be packaged and sold, no matter if they are farmers or those workers who have just been laid off, they can get a proper resettlement.

The middle-aged man waved his hands and smiled: "What's so rare about these things in our county? Not to mention the surrounding counties, even the surrounding provinces are not unusual. Who would be willing to spend more money to buy them? .”

When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew that her idea had been rejected, and yes, things in the county were treasures in her eyes, but in this day and age, these things are not so rare. Only after it is publicized will people have this awareness.

It's just that at that time, people with vision and vision have already started related businesses one step ahead of others, and it will be too late to do it by then.

After chatting for a while, the middle-aged man lost interest in continuing with them, waved his hand, turned around and left with the others.

"Xiaoxiao, who are these people? Why are you telling them so much? Besides, when did your parents become employees of the sugar factory?" Xu Xiaoying asked as soon as she saw people leave.

Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing looked at each other and smiled tacitly, looking at Xu Xiaoying who looked like a silly big sister, she could only say helplessly: "You can guess from the behavior and clothes of a few people that they must be from the agency. They care so much about the laid-off employees this time, so I guess these people should all be from the county, maybe they are all leaders."

"What? Leader? Why didn't you say it earlier? If I knew, I would have to ask them how they could let my parents be laid off like that. It's so irresponsible." When Xu Xiaoying heard this, she immediately exploded and shouted anxiously. I want to catch up and make an argument.

"What's the use of asking, it's a foregone conclusion. You, you really need to change your temper." Ling Xiaoxiao pulled her arm with great effort, not letting her run out.
