The winter break of '94 was over quickly, and the day of the return to school came, and I got on the direct express train.

Zhao Hong recalled this pleasant holiday, and the harvest was still good.

First of all, change the health issues that have been worrying about you all along. Physical fitness has been greatly improved, the most direct change is that the weight has been maintained at about 125, for 178 is still very thin, but there has been a great improvement. Arthritis has basically not been recurred, and other inexplicable diseases have not been recurred.

Secondly, my brother and sister-in-law are having a good time. The changes in the housing and economic environment have made the elder brother feel good, and the parents have already held the hope of their grandson, and it is estimated that he will be born in more than 10 days. My sister's marriage was also quite satisfied, and Zhao Hong also gave his cottage to his sister. The transfer to my sister's name, a bungalow of about 30 square meters is enough for them to live in. I'll talk about that later. After all, my brother-in-law is really good to my sister.

At present, his economic foundation is still good, and he has basically established himself in the sea market. According to the later generations, there is also a house and a stable income (rent), if you can have a good career, life is really good, and you still have your favorite girlfriend, so you are not greedy.

Since it was a night train, I basically slept and arrived early the next morning, so I didn't feel very tired. It's a sleeper car again, and it's easy to buy instead of a student ticket.

On a sunny day in late February, it's still warm outside, and the slightly damp wind blows through it, which is a wonderful feeling. The streets are also able to see green plants from time to time, instead of the gray patch everywhere in the north, the sky of Haishi is always blue with a few clouds floating, and it is indeed at least more suitable for people's life than the north in terms of scenery.

When I returned to the dormitory, everyone had already returned, all of them were very happy, and they were all fatter.

Everyone talked about their feelings about going home, only Sun Lin was not very happy, and seemed to have some worries.

After a while, Sun Lin pulled Zhao Hong out of the door of the dormitory, handed a cigarette to Zhao Hong, and said with a little difficulty, "When I went home this year, I found that the situation at home was not very good, my parents and my brother were laid off, and my mother handled early retirement, which is better, my father's age difference is almost enough, but my brother has just graduated from secondary school for more than a year, and he can't adapt to it. How about letting him come to Haishi? Is it easy to find a job here?"

"What did your brother study, do you have any specialties?" Zhao Hong asked after thinking for a while.

"I studied mechanics, I can't do design, and I can't do work. Nothing special. But I'm just as tall as I am, and 170 isn't enough. Alas!" Sun Lin said with some eagerness.

"Here, what are you going to do? At present, some cultures in Haishi are still quite easy to find a job, but the major may not be suitable, why not change to sales?" Zhao Hong cautiously suggested.

"He has only been working for more than a year, professional but it doesn't matter, he just doesn't have much experience, is he doing sales?" asked Sun Lin with some hesitation.

"That's up to him, if he does well, he can earn a very high income, a few thousand yuan, and if he doesn't do well, he can just live for a few hundred yuan. "Zhao Hong didn't dare to say too much, it stands to reason that there are few students who are willing to do sales in recent years, if you can learn faster, it should be very profitable. Now the competitors in sales are all state-owned enterprises, and the management is still very dead, and the opportunities far outweigh the risks.

Sun Lin thought for a while, looked up at Zhao Hong, and said hesitantly, "Can you introduce him to a job first, so that he can come and have a place to stay." The third child is embarrassed for you. ”

Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "How is your brother's eloquence, is his Mandarin good?" When the time comes, you can go to the real estate information company to try it first, if not, you can at least familiarize yourself with the local environment and dialect first, and it will also be the foundation in the future. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, anyway, I don't have much chance in my hometown, so when I come out, it's a tour. I'll get in touch with my family first. There's something I still need your help with. I rarely even go out of school, and I really don't understand the outside world. ”

Sun Lin summed up with some sadness.

Zhao Hong knew that this was just the beginning, and the large-scale layoffs across the country had begun, and the layoffs of nearly 10 million people had a very great impact on many families. The older can retire early, the younger can fend for themselves, and those in the middle are miserable, there are old people who need to be taken care of, and there are children who are waiting to be fed. The number of people picking up leaves in the market began to increase. Occasionally, there will be some extremely vicious news.

Life is impermanent. We must hold our own destiny in our own hands, and we cannot rely on anyone or unit. When your dependency begins, that's when the causes of your tragedy begin to form.

Sun Lin and Zhao Hong were a little sad when they stood in front of the dormitory building, Sun Lin was worried about his brother's future money, but Zhao Hong was sad about the laid-off experience in his previous life.

After a while, the two of them came back to their senses and began to walk back again.

Zhao Hong asked with some curiosity,

"How's it going with your girlfriend?"

Sun Lin's face immediately improved,

"It's not a girlfriend for a long time, that's my daughter-in-law, and I can call it sister-in-law in the future. Don't look at who I am, I would have done it properly. I also went to her house to see during the last holiday, and she also went to my house for the New Year, and everyone was very satisfied. How are you there, third child, that girl is really good, can you handle it?"

Zhao Hong was also very happy and said, "We are also very happy." Although I didn't meet my parents, I agreed. My daughter-in-law is beautiful, it's a flower in the outer courtyard, and my brother I also went through five levels and six generals to snatch it back. Among them, there is also a rich second-generation overseas Chinese elite. It's rewarding to defeat him!"

"My daughter-in-law will cook hometown food for me, chatting with me, don't know what chatter is. When you say it, it's full of home. ”

Sun Lin said a little triumphantly.

Happiness seems to be contagious, and Zhao Hong's mood is also much better.

"Do you know what the four major cuisines are? My daughter-in-law also makes good Sichuan cuisine, what is spicy and fragrant. It's beautiful. It's much better than the school cafeteria. If I can eat my daughter-in-law's food every day, it's beautiful to think about!"

…………

Chatting all the way, when they returned to the dormitory, Zhao Hong and Sun Lin were already very happy.

There must always be a few friends who accompany people throughout their lives, and when there are good things, tell them that happiness will increase. When something sad happens, when you need comfort or help, someone can lend a hand.
