Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 79 [No.089] House Leakage Meets Evening Rain
Cao Yunfang stood at the gate of No. [-] Middle School with an anxious expression on her face, checking her watch from time to time, wondering why her son hadn't come yet.

Zheng Gang, who was standing aside, comforted, "Aunt Fang, don't worry, Xiaojun is on his way and should be here soon."

Cao Yunfang patted Zheng Gang's head, sighed, and said, "Old Zheng and Lao Lin have far-sightedness, and quit early in the morning to do other things. They are not as stupid as you, Uncle Xie, but they just don't want to be the head of the sales department. It’s all right now, not to mention section chiefs, workers are no longer eligible.”

When the machine tool factory had a profit crisis, Zheng Laosan and Lin Xuecong discussed it together, and finally decided to take the initiative to apply for a buyout with seniority. They did a good job, much better than when they were in the factory. Zheng Laosan and Lin Xuecong also invited Xie Qingqiang to work together. It won't affect the leadership, and it's too unsafe to go out and work hard, so they politely declined the kindness of the two and continued to stay in that dilapidated factory.

Zheng Gang just heard Cao Yunfang say that Xie Qingqiang might lose his job, but he didn't quite understand why Cao Yunfang was so worried. If he didn't have a job, he would be done if he couldn't find a job. But he didn't know how easy it is for a middle-aged man who lost his job to find a job these days. Education without education, technology without technology, age has become the biggest obstacle, and there is a son who is in junior high school under his knees. How can all these be "worries", let alone a double blow, Cao Yunfang has been at home for a long time. It's been more than a month, but Xie Wenjun didn't know about these situations.

"Aunt Fang, Xiaojun is here." Zheng Gang pointed to Xie Wenjun who was talking and laughing with Yuan Jia in the distance.

Cao Yunfang nodded: "Xiaogang, go in, please tell the teacher to help Xiaojun ask for leave."

"Okay, goodbye Aunt Fang." After Zheng Gang finished speaking, he walked into the school, thinking that there is no need to ask for leave. Xiaojun's absence from class is as normal as eating.

"Mom, what are you doing at school?" Xie Wenjun also saw Cao Yunfang, and hurried over a few steps.

"Hello, Auntie." Yuan Jia called out sweetly, her little face flushed slightly, and she kissed his mother like wow, a handsome boy and a beautiful auntie.

"Well, dear, hello little classmate." Cao Yunfang wondered why her son came with this pretty girl in front of her. They talked and laughed as if they were very close. Didn't the son say that he likes Qiaoqiao? Could it be...

In Cao Yunfang's eyes, these things are just children's play, and it's not time to talk about them. Cao Yunfang hurriedly said: "Xiaogang is going to ask for leave for you, hurry up and follow me."

"What's the matter?" Xie Wenjun looked suspicious.

"Talking while walking," Cao Yunfang turned around after walking a few steps and said, "Goodbye, little classmate, I will come to play at my aunt's house sometime later."

Yuan Jia waved: "Well, goodbye, Auntie."

Xie Wenjun handed the winter homework to Yuan Jia: "Help me with my homework, I'm leaving." After Xie Wenjun finished speaking, he chased after his mother.

It looked like something happened at home, Yuan Jia was a little worried.

In the classroom, Yuan Jia asked Zheng just now that Xie Wenjun's father might have lost his job. Xiao Nizi thought that Xie Wenjun was really capable, and her mother asked him to go back to make decisions on major family matters. If this is the case, then Xie Wenjun must Ability to handle well.

How to deal with it?After Xie Wenjun listened to his mother's narration, his head was as big as a fight. Why did the two of them lose their jobs together? His grandma, the state-owned enterprises are really unreliable these days, so hurry up and reform.

Xie Wenjun tentatively said: "Mom, do you believe that I made... some money in business?"

"Believe me, your dad and I can't beat you at this game," Cao Yunfang said perfunctorily, but his steps were fast, "Didn't I tell you not to bring the master intelligence game chess to school to play, it will affect your study, you have to go home and play again .”

Expert chess?Mom is really worthy, Xie Wenjun blocked Cao Yunfang: "Mom, let's not go, it's useless to go."

"What are you talking about, everyone has agreed, how can we not go," Cao Yunfang was in a hurry, "If you don't go to our house, we will drink the northwest wind, and besides, Lao Chen dragged his family to go and make a fuss. Stayed well in the factory, and it wasn't his turn this time."

"Even if Dad and the others continue to work, the benefits in the factory will increase? It's not the same or there is no money. Can a small piece of pork belly squeeze out a big tank of oil? Is it possible to let the workers squat in the factory every day with nothing to do, and when they are done, they will go back to the factory. Sleeping at home, come whenever you want, anyway, you can’t pay wages,” Xie Wenjun patiently explained, “The problem is not with the workers, but with the factory itself, and it’s not the leadership’s responsibility to let Dad and the others go home. Personal opinion, but the objective situation is like this, there is no way out.”

Cao Yunfang sighed, rubbed her temples on both sides, anxious, annoyed, since she heard about Xie Qingqiang in the morning, her head was not in control, and she was messing around. Cause it to do nothing?No, the machine tool factory still lives in the house. Where will the family of three live when Lao Xie comes out? No, no, absolutely.

"Xiaojun, you are right, but you still have to go. If your father comes out, the three of us will not even have a place to sleep." Cao Yunfang was distressed, and smiled bitterly, "Even if you buy a small room with the money for buying out the working years If you live in a bungalow first, then you have to live, and if you spend all your money, you don’t have any income, so how can you live, alas, there is nowhere to go.”

Xie Wenjun secretly blamed himself for not telling his parents about the business, otherwise they would not have to frown. Now that things have reached this point, it is impossible not to be honest, but now when he talks about this kind of mother, he says "skilled chess" , I can’t explain myself, I have to find a helper, Xie Wenjun thought for a while, and said seriously: “Mom, I have something more important to tell you, it’s more important than Dad’s, you go to the factory first Call my father, grandpa and uncle back home, don’t let them make trouble with other workers, and don’t worry, uh... I have a way, a good way, but I’m going to find someone now, and I’ll come back to you later Say, okay?"

Cao Yunfang didn't understand what Xie Wenjun meant: "Xiaojun, you..."

Xie Wenjun grabbed his mother's hand and said sincerely: "Tell Dad and them to go back first, Mom, trust me."

The son seldom speaks so seriously, Cao Yunfang nodded involuntarily, the son is a young adult, since he said so, there must be his reasons.

Xie Wenjun smiled: "Then mom, go and call dad and the others, be happy, I really have a way, hehe, I'm leaving."

"Then...then when will you come back?"

"Before dinner." Xie Wenjun left after finishing speaking, thinking that the word "laid-off" has not yet been used, and the factory is willing to pay a sum of money to buy off the working years. Another honorable layoff would be really desperate.
