Idle chaos (1) (novel) Zhang Baotong

Since he retired from the unit, Aiyun has been fluttering in the clouds and fog all day long, and there is always a sense of unsteadiness under his feet. It's no wonder that Aiyun has been working as a freight officer at the railway terminal since she was sixteen years old, and has been doing it for 30 years this year. According to her physical and mental strength, it is nothing to work for at least another ten years, but the unit has reduced staff and increased efficiency, and has "cut across the board" of female workers over the age of 45. She had no choice but to go home and relax.

In the past, Aiyun worked in three shifts at the cargo station for many months, no holidays, no rotations, and when she saw people traveling or taking a break to rest, she was very envious, and she thought that if she could take a month and a half of vacation, even if she could sleep comfortably for a few days, it should be a desirable enjoyment!

But now, the forty-six-year-old Aiyun is really retired. But after retirement, Aiyun did not go out to travel, nor did he enjoy leisure. Before she had been in the house for a week, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she was always thinking about going to work, thinking that the efficiency of the unit was good, and paying money twice in three days. When I think about it, I want to go to work like crazy, and when I think about it, I want to cry loudly.

Her lover thought that she had just retired from her post and was too lonely and uncomfortable, so he took her to find someone to play cards and mahjong. However, as soon as she played a few cards and lost three or five yuan, she was about to quit, and she was nervous to find her lover to vent her anger. The lover knew that she was heartbroken for those few dollars, so he took out a few hundred-dollar bills to coax her to be happy. The son had just graduated from a technical school and had a job, and when he saw that his mother liked the puppy he raised, he had to spend a few hundred yuan to buy one for his mother. However, Aiyun reprimanded his son.

After staying in the house for a long time, she felt that her heart was suffocated and irritable, so she intentionally or unintentionally leaned into the women's pile. But she just chatted with them casually, and didn't plan to dissolve with them, because these women are people who don't have any skills, and they will only eat their old books after retirement, and they will beat the waist drum and twist Yangge all day long, without earning a penny, and they are happy to be like "Lafayette", which is really ridiculous.

Although Aiyun is tied to everyone and goes to the park every morning and evening to play drums and dance, not only is she not happy at all, but she always feels that time is being lost in vain. She just wants to be able to use this time to earn money, which is a lot of income in a month, and her heart will be enriched because of it.

It just so happened that she had just come back from the park that day, and the lame daughter-in-law stopped her at the corner of the street, saying that the lame husband had recently opened two more shops, and he was too busy to take care of it, and wanted to transfer the store in the alley now.

The lame daughter-in-law is not lame, but because the man is lame, everyone calls her a lame daughter-in-law. Aiyun knew about the shop opened by her lame daughter-in-law in the alley, but she didn't know how effective it was. As soon as the lame daughter-in-law heard this, she said to Aiyun in a swear-like tone that if she couldn't earn one or two hundred yuan a day, she could return the money at any time. Hearing the lame daughter-in-law say this, Aiyun's heart began to move.

However, she had to discuss this matter with her lover. The lover didn't want her to take over the shop, but she was afraid that she would feel bored when she was idle, so she had to agree. Subsequently, the two came to the small shop together to see the situation. The alley is the passage between the two markets, and the storefronts are one after the other, and this small shop is in the middle of it.

At first glance, it's not a good place to set up a shop. However, Aiyun thought that although he couldn't earn 35,000 a month, it was better to earn 1,2000 than to be idle. The lover knew that this small shop might not even be able to earn 12,000, but he was not thinking about how much money he was going to make, but wanted to buy a place for his daughter-in-law to relax.

After paying 7,000 yuan, the small store will be owned by Aiyun. Aiyun is just like when she came to the cargo station as a worker, and her heart is full of excitement and joy. She first cleaned the shop cleanly, and then wiped the dust off the items with a rag like a cultural relic. Then start memorizing the unit price. After all, she has been dealing with money all her life, so the prices of various items on the counter were quickly written down by her.

However, from 9 a.m. to noon, the alleys were filled with pedestrians, but no one entered the store. It was only then that she seemed to understand that there were seven or eight shops at the end of the alley, and why did people have to come to her shop to buy things, but at any rate, she had already taken over the shop, and she had to run it well.

It is the season of spring flowers, and the afternoon sun is warm and warm, which can stimulate people's sleepiness. Since her retirement, she has developed the habit of taking a lunch break, feeling sleepy as soon as she eats, and snorting when she sits. When she didn't know something, she heard someone banging on the counter, thinking that someone was coming to buy something, so she hurriedly opened her eyes, and when she saw it, she realized that it was her lover's sports car back. The lover said in a reproachful tone, "If you look at the stall like this, you don't know if people take all the things."

Her lover came into the store and asked her how her business was. The store was opened at her insistence, so she couldn't tease herself, so she said okay. The lover took a pack of "white sand cigarettes" from the counter, yawned while smoking, and asked her to go home and rest for a while. Aiyun thought that her lover would run a long distance, and it would take four or five days to run, which was very hard, and she had to come back to help her guard the store, so she was a little unhappy that she didn't go, so she had to ask her lover to go back to rest. But the cute man said that I was used to it, so you should go back to sleep. She did sleep, and got up and left the shop.

As soon as she collapsed in bed, her son came home from work. She wanted to get out of bed and cook something for her son, but she stayed at the store last night and didn't sleep well all night, so she was too sleepy and tired. I really don't want to work for myself more tiring than working for the government. Fortunately, her son was very considerate of her, walked around the kitchen, and went out again. Only then did she fall asleep peacefully.

By the time she woke up, the sun had set in the west. She hurried all the way to the shop. But I saw my lover looking at the pedestrians walking in front of the small shop with anxious eyes. The pack of white sand cigarettes on the counter had been smoked out, and the cigarette butts and ashes were scattered all over the floor, and the smoke made the store smoky. But the son leaned against the counter and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, she unconsciously felt a little heartache in her heart, so she woke up her son and asked him to go home and sleep. The son said that it was not interesting to go home and be at home alone, so it was better to stay here and take a helper. Then she asked her lover what she had sold. The lover vomited and said that it had been a long time, and she had not even seen a single figure entering the store, what else was she selling? When she saw that there was fire in her lover's tone, she couldn't help but be angry again. However, the more her lover talked about it, the more angry she became, blaming her for retiring and being restless, and insisting on making a broken shop to toss, and not saying that she was suffering, and making the whole family uneasy.

When her lover started to get angry, she wanted to endure it, but soon she couldn't help it, so she quarreled with her lover, blaming her and saying that if it weren't for his support and counsel, she might not have taken this store. said that he was going to drive his lover back, saying that she hadn't invited him here. The son slammed the counter and stopped them, saying, "Don't make any noise, what's the use of making the shop all the same?"
