Chapter II: Unemployment
When she received a call from the head of Cube's human resources, Lyle was still sleeping.
At the elementary school reunion the night before, he was dressed brightly and beautifully, and he packed himself like a home.
The past year has indeed been a promotion and salary increase for him, and he has also found a beautiful girlfriend who is rich and white.
Although there are not many old acquaintances in the same city as him, these have been posted in the circle of friends early, and his circle of friends will not set anything "only visible for three days".
It's easy to drink too much wine between the staggered and the staggered.
When he heard the news on the phone, Lyle thought it was a prank, carefully confirmed the identity of the other party, and looked at the landline number, he slowly realized that something was really wrong.
Hanging up the phone, he quickly got up and staggered to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.
My mother, who was preparing lunch, saw it, and while loudly scolding him for not taking care of his body and catching a cold, she told his father, who was watching TV, to get him clothes.
The three-year-old niece got up from the ground and asked him to hug him, and the child liked this little uncle who was always fragrant.
The elder sister, who was sitting at the dinner table to help his mother choose vegetables, asked him to take a photo of his girlfriend and asked him if he could find a future father-in-law to help, contact the local hospital, find a reliable expert, and help his mother-in-law have a minor operation.
All these background sounds seemed far away, going in and out of his left ear and leaving no mark.
When he locked himself in the bedroom again and quickly turned on his phone and computer, his mind really cleared up.
Cube's approach was decisive, or rather decisive, and the department in charge of the urban village project was abolished, and the relevant personnel were either transferred to other departments, most of whom were old employees of Cube, such as the man in the three-piece suit who slipped away during the protests. And newcomers like Lyle were all fired.
Of course, the cube is very generous, the compensation conditions are considerable, and there is no fault from the legal level.
Lyle originally wanted to struggle for a while, and immediately called Xiong Byron, but found that he couldn't get through.
I went to TP's old colleagues to inquire again, but the result was either that I couldn't contact him, or I didn't know what to say, and in general, I was afraid to avoid it.
TP's opinion on this matter cannot be found on the Internet for the time being. In fact, it doesn't matter, it's impossible to return to TP yourself.
Just when he was confused, the phone rang, and it was his girlfriend calling.
Lyle looked at the name on the screen and didn't answer.
He knew that Vice President Zhou was not satisfied with himself, if he was unemployed, or because of this disgraceful thing, once it spread in the industry, it would be difficult to find a good job, and then this relationship would definitely be blown.
Suddenly, Lyle was extremely calm, and he realized that now, the only resource he had in his hands was his girlfriend.
Yes, my girlfriend loves herself very much. She came from a well-to-do family, and her father was quite powerful. If the future father-in-law who doesn't look down on him is willing to help, things will be much easier.
But how can we get him to help?
The phone had quieted down, and Lyle didn't rush back, but chose a depressing and dim picture to send to Moments. Of course, only the girlfriend can be seen.
Soon, the phone rang again.
He still didn't answer.
But the other party was very persistent this time and kept calling.
Even the little niece outside the bedroom door heard it, ran to knock on the door, and shouted in a milky voice: "Uncle, telephone." ”
Half an hour later, Lyle sat down at the dinner table and told her family that she would have to rush back to work overtime tomorrow. The company is in a hurry, and it is too important to do without.
If anyone looks at his mobile phone at this time, he will find a ticket information, flying to the Maldives tomorrow, first class, and the price is expensive.
But Miss Zhou didn't care, because she learned that her boyfriend had been treated unfairly, and she wanted to accompany him to relax.
And Ms. Tan Shuangguo, the "initiator" of all this, is completely unaware of all this at the moment.
She is working as an old mother at her husband's house.
The husband and wife's hometown is not in the same place, the real Tiannan and Haibei, and they agreed to take turns during the Spring Festival, and they should go back to their husband's house this year.
Tan Shuangguo prepared all kinds of gifts for her in-laws' relatives early, and sent the clothes of a family of three, especially the children, to her mother-in-law's house in advance. Beanie boxes
She took into account that the children had little time with their grandparents, and she didn't go to work anyway, so it was a big deal to leave later after the New Year, so that the elderly could cultivate more relationships with their children.
But when he arrived at his mother-in-law's house, as soon as he entered the door, his husband saw the big bags piled up at home and complained that Tan Shuangguo was too complicated.
Send it to the elders, where do you need to prepare so many impractical New Year's goods, you can send money directly.
It was her mother-in-law who helped her out, saying that it was rare for them to come back once, and they still had to have gifts for visiting relatives and friends. Buy it on the New Year's Day, everything is expensive.
Sending money, people like it, but if you don't have it, you can't do it, and if you have more, you feel distressed. It's still something in the hand, and it looks weighty and festive.
The husband didn't talk to her anymore, turned his head and complained to his parents that it was too tiring to take the child out of the house, and he collapsed on the sofa and swiped his mobile phone.
The grandparents were naturally very happy to see Xiaoxiaoguo and took out the prepared toys and snacks.
Tan Shuangguo glanced at it, and hurried up to pick it up, this can't be played with by children, there are too many small parts and too broken, and they are easy to be swallowed by children.
That candy can't be given to children, it's full of additives, and it's not only not nutritious but also easy to feel full, which affects eating at the main meal.
Seeing that the old man was a little lost, Tan Shuangguo hurriedly pointed to the apples on the table and said, Xiaoxiaoguo likes to eat apples, so please trouble grandpa to peel one.
"I said you just managed too much, and you were too worried. My parents have brought me up, and they don't know what the children can play and eat?"
"I didn't mean that, I ......" Tan Shuangguo hurriedly explained.
The mother-in-law hurriedly played a round game: "It's okay, it's okay." With children you have to be careful. Especially in the first few years, the child is small, the sense of self-protection is not enough, and it is more difficult to be a mother. ”
"She's just too bothered. It's all idle and panicked, if I was busy at work like me, I wouldn't be so chattering. ”
These words made Tan Shuangguo angry, and because she didn't want to quarrel during the big holiday, she was still at her mother-in-law's house, so she had to carry her luggage into the bedroom to pack it alone.
For a few days, Tan Shuangguo was busy in and out of her in-law's house, staring at Xiao Xiaoguo and helping with housework.
My father-in-law is hospitable and wants to have a reunion dinner at home. Relatives and friends came, and Tan Shuangguo had to help with the kitchen.
Some things are prepared days in advance, and I get up at five or six o'clock in the morning to work. Tan Shuangguo was so busy that she didn't have time to make breakfast for Xiaoxiaoguo, so she finally had to allow her to eat a few sweet biscuits to cope with it.
After surviving all morning, Tan Shuangguo's waist couldn't stand up.
After giving birth to Xiaoxiaoguo, her waist is prone to pain, bending for a long time, and even lying down for a long time, the whole waist and back are like hardwood boards, and the swelling pain is unbearable. Doing housework on weekdays, it's a little better to control the time by yourself, but today I'm so busy that I get carried away, and it's really a bit unbearable.
Washing dishes after eating at noon is also a big project, but fortunately, a few sisters-in-law and relatives helped to make it together.
When women are together, there is naturally a lot of gossip.
"Child, you really have to bring your own. My eldest son was brought up by his grandmother, and you see that bad habit now, hey. One of her husband's cousins complained.
"Then you should bring it yourself. The cousin who helped clean up the dinner table said.
"I'm not as blessed as my sister-in-law, and my family doesn't earn as much as my cousin. ”
"You dare to have a second child and complain. Tan Shuangguo comforted, "I don't dare to have another life, where can I have money to raise it." ”
"Live, rich and rich, poor and poor. It's good to work hard when you're young, and when your children grow up. ”
"Frost Fruit, don't listen to her. If you look at the older generation of our family, the family that gave birth to one family prospered, and the family who gave birth to two survived until the past few years to get a little better. "My cousin is a single young woman in Kochi, and her views are naturally different from those of ordinary housewives, and Tan Shuangguo is very grateful for her existence.
There are some things that I can't say as a daughter-in-law, and my cousin is a girl in this family, so she can have no taboos.
My cousin knew that she couldn't say anything, so she didn't dare to squeak, and when my cousin left the kitchen, she whispered: "Everyone is like you?"
Tan Shuangguo buried herself in washing the dishes, but she didn't hear it.
The cousin was silent for less than a minute, and then began to chat: "Sister-in-law, you still have to pay attention, you don't clean up this big holiday." ”
"......" Tan Shuangguo was a little confused, thinking that what was wrong with her dress?
"I'm telling you, there's a barber shop in the neighborhood next door, and it's not bad for you to perm your hair. I remember my cousin's girlfriend in high school, it was natural curls, and my cousin said at the time that he liked girls with curly hair. ”
