Chapter 5: Going Abroad vs Changing Jobs
One night, Muzi slept in a daze, and vaguely heard the mobile phone ring twice and then quieted down.
Mu Zi was sleeping soundly, busy with the meeting with Zhou, and he was so dazed that he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm to take the phone.
When he got up the next day, Muzi saw that there was indeed a missed call on his mobile phone, and when he saw that it was Liu Hao calling, he had a complicated premonition in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Zi called the phone back: "Hey, Liu Hao, I have a missed call from you on my phone." ”
"Oh, I accidentally dialed the wrong one, did it make you noisy?" Liu Hao's seemingly casual inquiry came from the other end of the phone.
"Fortunately, I fell asleep and didn't catch it in a daze. Muzi said.
"Piglet. Liu Hao's tone seemed to be a little helpless and a little spoiled.
"You are," Muzi retorted a little unconvinced.
"Okay, I'm going through airport security, let's talk. Liu Hao said calmly.
"Airport, are you going on a business trip?" Muzi suddenly remembered that Liu Hao might be sent abroad, and hurriedly asked, "Have you been sent abroad?" Why didn't you tell us?"
"Well, now I said it" Liu Hao seemed to be telling Muzi a trivial matter.
"Does Summer know? She, she's going to be sad......" Muzi felt a strange look in her heart.
"Well, I'll hang up first. Liu Hao didn't seem to want to answer.
Toot toot... Liu Hao's end has been broken.
"Hey, hey?......" Muzi didn't have time to say goodbye yet......
……
Muzi grew so big, it was the first time she was so far away from home, and during the National Day holiday, Muzi's parents came to Shencheng to see her.
I haven't seen my parents for so long, Muzi misses them very much, and when he picked them up at the train station, Muzi's eyes were shining, and he felt that the empty places in his heart were filled in an instant.
The hotel was too expensive, and there were only a few days, so the family discussed dealing with it in the room of the Muzi dormitory.
Fortunately, the weather in Shencheng in October is still quite hot, my mother and Muzi sleep in the bed, and my father lays the floor.
returned to his hometown in the summer, Liu Hao was abroad, Chen Yu wanted to take this opportunity to meet Muzi's parents, but Muzi thought about it and still felt that the time had not come, maybe he felt that he was not ready, or he was worried that his parents would be a little embarrassed if they quarreled in front of Chen Yu.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, but he still said understandingly: "It's okay, buddy, you can let go of playing games this holiday." ”
During the holidays, Muzi took his parents to visit the mangrove forest, play the window of the world, and visit the Shekou wharf...
This time in Shencheng, Muzi's parents were most concerned about Muzi's work, and at their request, Muzi deliberately took them to see the shipyard where she worked for a day.
In the mainland, it is time to wear long sleeves in October, but the sun is still in the sky at this time, and the temperature is more than 30 degrees.
The family of three took a three-stop bus from Muzi's dormitory, and after a 10-minute walk, they arrived at the Jiangyang shipyard where Muzi worked.
There was no one in the company on the weekend, the big iron door was locked, and I said hello to the doorman and opened a small door for the three of them to come in.
Muzi took his parents to walk around in the semi-open workshop, there were several semi-finished yachts inside, and his parents saw the yacht in the construction process for the first time, and felt very novel.
After walking around, Muzi took them to the office again, there was no water in the hot water bottle, and there was no hot water in the canteen during the holiday today, Muzi thought about it and went to the reception room to get two bottles of mineral water and handed them to his parents.
My mother was a little apprehensive and said, "I still don't want it, if I install a camera, will I misunderstand that we are stealing?"
Muzi thought about it and said, "It's okay, drink it." ”
The company is not big, and the family stayed for more than 10 minutes before leaving.
"Muzi, it's still early today, let's go to the nearby supermarket to buy some food, and go back at noon to cook for you, right? Mom suggested.
"Okay, I eat in the cafeteria every day during my time at work, and I miss my mother's cooking. Muzi responded coquettishly.
"Why do you have to go back and cook for yourself? This is not home, and it's still so hot. There are so many people in your supermarket here, and buying things is the same as not asking for money, how much cheaper can it be?"
Dad was not happy anymore, and complained as he spoke.
Muzi thinks about it, it is rare to have a holiday, a family reunion, and I don't want to quarrel over a meal and make me unhappy.
Seeing that his mother was about to open her mouth to push over, Muzi hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's rare for you to come here, and it's only for a few days, let's hurry up and take a look around." When I get home from vacation, I will have a chance to eat the food you cooked. ”
As he spoke, he gave his mother a look.
Mom looked at Muzi, swallowed the words back from her mouth, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
There is a Liwan rice noodle shop not far from the Muzi dormitory, and the business has been quite hot.
Cheong fun is one of the special delicacies of Guangdong, fine and smooth, it is also wrapped in various fillings, a pot of tea, two side dishes, and the family is enough to eat harmoniously and beautifully.
Remembering that when she was going to come to Shencheng after graduation, her grandmother took Muzi's hand and said, "Muzi, after work, you must have a good relationship with your leaders and colleagues, work hard, and do a line of love." ”
Muzi's grandmother is a very kind old man, and she has always been full of love for our younger generations.
The old man was not worried that Muzi was working alone outside, and it was inconvenient for him to go out when he was old, so he had been telling his parents to come to see Muzi and see where she worked before the National Day.
Muzi is from a second-tier small city, and his parents have never traveled far before, so this trip to Shencheng is also a trip for them.
After the family sat down, Muzi was looking at the menu and ordering, and his father instructed on the side: "Order a bottle of Qingdao pure raw and ask for ice." ”
Mom hurriedly said, "You go out to buy a bottle for only 3 yuan, why do you want to buy it here, 10 quick money." ”
Dad was not happy when Mom said this: "What are you tossing, isn't it just a bottle of beer?"
"Okay, okay, it's ordered. Muzi hurried to round the field.
Muzi knows that his mother is saving, he feels sorry for himself, and he also knows that his father has this personality, not to mention a bottle, he may drink it directly when his temperament comes, hey......
No longer entangled in the matter of wine, my mother still looked a little solemn: "Muzi, are you okay with your work?"
"Well, yes, my colleagues and leaders are very good to me. Muzi nodded.
Mom touched Muzi's head, wanting to speak and stopped.
Muzi's parents are municipal units in their hometown, although they are not as good as civil servants, but they are also good units in the city.
But today, I came to see the place where Muzi worked, it was tattered and dusty, and I felt that it was not even as good as their unit in their hometown.
Muzi guessed her mother's thoughts, and felt that her mother must feel sorry for her current working environment, which was not as good as theirs.
In order to comfort his mother, Muzi said the plan that he had just put in his heart:
"Mom, don't worry about me, now the company is a regular unit under Shekou China Merchants Group, and you can learn a lot. ”
"There is a lot of competition in Shenzhen, there are many talents, I came out of a small place, I choose a job first and then get a job, and we are different from you now, not a job has to be done for a lifetime. ”
Muzi and her mother were already intimate, and as she spoke, she put her hand on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, don't worry, I already have a plan, and I plan to change jobs until the end of this year." ”
"Trust your daughter, you can. ”
My mother said distressedly: "You, you have always had the right idea, and you have to run so far alone..."
"Haha, my mother just can't bear me..."
Dad was on the side, not integrated into the conversation between Muzi's mother and daughter at all, and chattered to himself, talking about the things he had heard more than a hundred times about Chen Sesame and rotten grain.
In the end, I heard Muzi say that he was going to change jobs, but his father didn't know why he objected inappropriately: "If you have a job, cherish it, you young people don't want to be too ambitious, we ...... back then."
Muzi felt that his father was not on the same channel with them at all, and he didn't understand his current situation, so he finally said unhappily: "You drink your bar." ”
Dad was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyelids, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and raised his wine glass with some embarrassment......
Since Muzi's third year of high school, her father's unit has suffered a serious financial deficit due to leadership corruption, and the leadership team has changed blood and affected a vote, and her father is one of them.
The people who originally sat in the office of the government had no job in their forties, and they were not able to achieve high or low levels, and they lived by playing mahjong and drinking wine all day long.
Completely forgot about having a daughter to raise and a family responsibility to bear......
In the past few years of Muzi's college studies, it has not been easy for her mother.
Fortunately, my mother enjoyed the light of the national policy, retired at the age of forty, and had a stable pension as a basic guarantee.
However, in addition to helping Muzi pay for tuition, the meager pension every month also has to save living expenses for Muzi, in order to save money, her mother cuts down on food and clothing, and when she has the opportunity, she goes out to find odd jobs to do, and spends one penny as two cents.
In the past few years of college, it was also the most intense years of conflict between Muzi's parents and her parents.
Dad was very depressed for a while, broke the jar and broke it, and finally when Muzi was in his senior year, the state bought out Muzi's father and gave them a lump sum of money.
Dad had this money in his hand, and the whole person held his head high again.
For a long time, Muzi was reluctant to talk to him.
