Chapter 50: Mother Yang's Search for Work (1)

After the Spring Festival, when her mother Li Huan saw that things in the factory improved, she felt relieved. Her husband and son were all out, and she felt that she had nothing to do.

Now her eldest son is her pride. Even if he doesn't get into college in the future, his ability is enough for him to gain a foothold in society.

Relatives all advised Li Huan to continue to keep the child in her father's house, and she also went to Ludao to help.

But she thought that the eggs could not be kept in the same basket, and that she, as an adult, could not always stay at home. This was not a big deal.

I am only in my thirties now, and I am very young and strong. It is also good to be able to share some pressure at home.

So Li Huan decided to go out and re-engage in his old business. Yang Xingguo persuaded him several times, but he was very hard-working, but it was still useless. She also went out to be a nanny in her previous life, and the owner she was looking for seemed pretty good, so he didn't persuade him too much, and gave up after saying it a few times without success.

Li Huan left home and walked up to the town where there would be a hand tractor to drive to the county. She had to get there before leaving, otherwise she would have to wait for tomorrow if she missed today, and she might earn less money for a day. The family was barely covered with cold wind. As a woman, Li Huan was very scared, but unfortunately she couldn't change too much for this, so she could only earn a little more.

The winter in southern Fujian is cold, unlike the dry and cold in the north, but the wet and coldness mixed with sea water. No matter how much clothes are worn, the bone-broken coldness still goes straight into the collar with the northwest wind and pours it into the legs of the trousers. The frozen people are shaking.

"Sister-in-law of the Yang family, are you going to the market?"

"There is no thing to go to the market? I plan to go to the city to see if there are any job opportunities." Li Huan replied in response to the greeting of his acquaintance.

These days, people in rural areas are still very simple and will basically say wherever they go, but there will not be too many twists and turns.

"You have to hurry up. I think it's almost eight o'clock. If you go late, the tractor will drive away."

"That's right? If I don't talk to you anymore, I have to run away quickly." After saying that, Li Huan ran to the dilapidated station in the town.

When Li Huan came to the meeting point panting, she saw that the car was full of people, and she was so anxious that she stamped her feet. What should I do?

The driver saw it and called out, "Everyone can squeeze in and see if they can make another place."

When everyone heard this, although they were reluctant, they moved, and then squeezed out a place to stand behind the car. Li Huan was happy to see this and quickly looked like a monkey.

Usually, I climbed up with my hands and feet.

The driver pulled the half-meter-high back door up, then took out the hand-cranking handle, pressed the starter with his left hand, and swung the shaking handle with his right hand. The hand was like a hot wheel, but unfortunately he didn't start after three rounds.

The driver spitted, turned around and brought a basin of hot water, and poured it directly on the fuel tank. Suddenly, the fuel tank was like a steamer in a sauna, and the white mist visible to the naked eye rose into the air. The driver swung the handle again, swung it for two or three times, and finally heard the tractor's gasp like a cow. The body of the car was shaking, like a dancing jazz. The air was mixed with the smell of diesel from the chimney, which made Li Huan want to vomit. She quickly held back. The journey had just begun, and she vomited now, and she might be bombarded to "rest".

The tractor started, and the speed was either fast, or walking on the bumpy soil, making it uncomfortable to jump.

Li Huan finally couldn't help it. He vomited in the dark halfway through the way, and almost vomited out the courage, his mouth full of bitterness.

Because of this, the tractor was forced to stop for fifteen minutes, and the driver and other passengers were a little unhappy. Li Huan could only look at her with apologetic eyes. She was so angry that she didn't dare to speak, for fear that she wouldn't help but vomit on others when she opened her mouth.

After finally reaching the county town, Li Huan didn't dare to go to have a meal, so he rushed to the city's tractor. Because he vomited fifteen minutes on the road, he almost missed the bus.

Li Huan sat on the tractor again, his head scattered in a mess, his face covered with a layer of yellow dust, and his whole body seemed to have changed a color.

This time she didn't vomit. Maybe she was already empty and had no food to vomit. She just arrived in Shitong City hungry. At this time, the sun was almost about to go down the mountain (sun, the name of southern Fujian, the sun means time).

Li Huan made up his clothes, so he asked for a bowl of water to drink, then took a few handfuls of domestic water and wiped his face so that it would not be unkempt and dirty.

This is not the first time she has come to the city to find a job, but when it comes to finding a job, she is actually still panicked.

The jobs in the city are not that easy to find. All she can find is hard work. First, the competition is big, and second, she has no advantage in doing short-term work. In many cases, the employer sees her young and is ready to use her, but when she hears that she has only been working for one or two months, she just doesn't want it.

Li Huan came to the vicinity of the municipal government. She knew that there were many civil servants living nearby, which attracted many wealthy people to live nearby, so there would be more families who could afford to hire people and were willing to hire people, and the success rate would be relatively high.

These days, there are no mobile phones or Internet, and you can either rely on introductions or Mobai to find a job. Mobai is a visit to strangers. In the eyes of people in the 21st century, it is the most primitive method to conduct business, but in this era, it is the most basic method.

Li Huan walked into a community and knocked on the door of a family. In this era, there were many dormitories and there was no concept of a community, so many were still made into open-ended areas, and outsiders could directly enter the door of the suite. Later, for safety, the concept of a closed community emerged.

The person who opened the door was an old man in his fifties and looked at Li Huan in confusion.

"Hello, sir! Do you need a cleaner or nanny in your house?" Li Huan asked quickly.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Girl, I don't need it here. I have nothing to do when I retire at home, so I just move my hands and feet. Go and see if anyone else needs it."

Li Huan had no choice but to say sorry, then turned around and continued to knock on the door of another family. In order to prevent their children from scrambling around at home, it is very common for them to retire early and let their children take the post.

"Hello, do you need a cleaner or nanny in your house?" Li Huan asked weakly.

"No, thank you!" With a "touch", a sound of closing the door was heard, which scared Li Huan.
