Chapter 10 Finding a Job
After breakfast, my mother cleaned up and left her home to the South Bus Station. She took a long-distance bus to City C to handle Aunt Qi's funeral and pick her up her daughter. After I guess my mother had already gotten in the car and drove away, I called and told my sister about this.
While my sister was shocked by the news of Aunt Qi's death, she really strongly opposed bringing this burden back to her home. She said that my family and Aunt Qi's family were just friends, so why should we take the responsibility of taking care of their daughter? Are all their relatives dead? Even if they die, there is still a government! Our family is already in trouble, so why do we still have to cause trouble and get such a blind man who can only eat and can't work back?
My sister is like this. No matter what she does or thinks, it is very realistic. My mother also knows my sister's temper, so she did it directly without her consent. Moreover, my mother asked me to tell my sister about this, but she actually had a good intention. She knew that at home, my sister-sister relationship with my sister is much better than her mother-daughter relationship with my sister. My sister has a straight temper and a shaky personality. When encountering unhappy things, no matter who it is, even if she is with my mother, she will make a big fuss with me, and she is not polite. But the only exception is that she has the only exception.
It's probably me. Since I was a child, I have a deep relationship with my sister. If there is something delicious or fun, my sister will always let me get it first. Sometimes I have a big disaster, my mother is sad and locked up in the room and crying alone, and my father is so angry that he picks up a stick and wants to hit me. At this time, my sister will step up to protect me and protect me under her body. It is because of this that when I grow up, I will do my best to help her. Even if I save money, I will make my sister's life more abundant.
My mother understood that this matter was more appropriate to me than to say it herself. I also understood what my mother meant. She asked me to persuade my sister to try to let her accept this fact.
So, on the phone, I persuaded my sister to a long time, and repeatedly told her that it was useless to oppose her. Don’t you and I understand our mother’s temper? No one in the world can change her mind when she is determined to do something. Instead of making trouble with her for this matter, it is better to think more about how we can arrange it after the blind girl moves in so as to reduce the pressure of our own life as much as possible.
After my advice, my sister finally accepted this reality. However, she still said that she would have to talk to her seriously when her mother came back. This girl could be brought back to live, but she couldn't just eat and not work. She was blind, but her hands and feet were still flexible, right? In the future, she found a job that blind people could do, and at least she could have an extra income to support her family's expenses.
I sighed. Even though I knew my mother would never agree to this matter, I couldn't persuade my sister to give up this idea now. It was not easy for her to force herself to accept this blind girl. Let's talk about the future.
I put down the phone and the matter came to an end. I took out a cigarette and lit it and started to think about my own work again.
Tomorrow, everything will probably have a result. People like me will probably be swept out by the management of the new company and will give me a severance fee to seek a job. The amount of this severance fee will not be much, at best, my original basic salary of one or two months. This little money can only guarantee my living expenses within one month. Next month, I may not even be able to guarantee my own cigarette money.
Alas! Life is difficult! Without a job, everything will be even more difficult! Although I have asked Sun Dong to help me pay attention to finding a new job, I myself can't just wait at home and not find a way. While there is no one at home, I plan to go out to the talent market to check it out. Or I will be lucky and see a company that is still able to recruit people, so I can try to apply for it.
In fact, I am healthy and have strong hands and feet. It is not difficult to find a job that can support me. But I am helpless. My mother is a person who believes in the fact that she is a white-collar worker in the office, which is a job that will not be humiliating her ancestors. All other jobs that rely on strength and sweat for living expenses are not what her son should do. I really don’t know where she got this idea, and I have no choice.
If I go back to my old job and continue to work as a deliveryman or construction worker I have worked for before, my mother will definitely force me to quit again. Maybe she will take out her little bit of money to save money after finally saving money and spend it on asking for someone to find another decent job. This is definitely something I don't want to see.
So, for my mother, I have to continue to be a white-collar worker and find a job that is at least no less than my current job. In this way, even if my mother finds out about me being swept out of the new company, she won't be too worried.
Pushing the only semi-new bicycle in my house, I left my home and came to the talent exchange center located in the development zone. Although it was Sunday, there were still people coming and going here. Many people were young people like me, and some were even younger than me. They were either full of longing or a little anxious, all of which was one purpose: to find a job here that satisfies themselves or can solve the problem of eating.
Because it was Sunday, there were not many units here to recruit talents. I slowly walked around and only saw three or four companies or factories setting up positions to recruit people here. There were many people looking for jobs, and there were already long queues in front of these three or four units. When I looked over, I basically required a college degree or above. But this point had already excluded me.
So I slowly walked into several job introduction companies. After looking at the companies that were recruiting jobs in the company, most of them were recruiting laborers. Even if there were several recruiting civilian staff, they all had high education requirements. I am a high school graduate, but I don’t even have the qualification to apply for the job.
In this way, until noon, I didn’t see a white-collar job I had the hope of getting. When I was hungry, I found a small noodle restaurant near the talent exchange center and spent four yuan to eat the cheapest ramen.
However, when I was eating ramen, I suddenly felt a look that was constantly staring at me. When I turned around, I saw a woman who looked one or two years older than me, sitting across a table. There was also a bowl of noodle soup on the table in front of her, and it seemed that she was also a customer who came to this noodle restaurant for lunch.
