Dongmei walked into the kitchen, threw away the half of the mutton fat, and then made a table of good meals for the child. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the two children came back from school, they smelled a fragrance before they walked in the door, and they couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Finally there is a fragrance, finally there is no smell......

At the dinner table, the two children ate very deliciously, and they counted the hard-to-swallow meals made by their father after their mother left.

Dongmei saw the happy expressions of the two children, and the dark clouds in her heart gradually dispersed.

After eating, Dongmei asked the children if it was delicious?

The children said in unison that it was delicious.

Dongmei asked the children if they wanted to eat such a meal in the future, and the children invariably said that they would always want to.

In fact, Dongmei's good rice for the child Zhang Luo is nothing more than a bowl of noodles, and then add a scrambled egg and fried shredded potatoes.

However, this simple meal is already a delicious meal for children.

After eating, Dongmei took her two children and walked towards the river below the base.

Last time, it was Wei Guo who took his two children to the river to find him, and now, it is his turn to take his two children to the river to find Wei Guo.

Dongmei smiled and said in her heart, this adult is sometimes not as good as a child, it is really the same as a family.

At this time, Wei Guo was sitting by the river, holding a water plant in his hand, playing with the water while looking at the direction of the river.

Tao Tao and Nana saw their father sitting by the river from a distance, and they hurriedly called their father's name and rushed towards the river.

After the two children dragged Wei Guo over from the river, Dong Mei glanced at Wei Guo and did not talk to Wei Guo, and Wei Guo also glanced at Dong Mei and did not talk to Dong Mei.

In this way, the two have been in a cold war for two days.

It wasn't until Wei Guo went to work and left that the two said a word to each other, and they said goodbye.

After Wei Guo left, Dongmei began a grand plan to find a job.

She thinks that as long as she is willing to go out and look for it, then there must be a lot of job opportunities, and she will not be as rigid as the unit.

Dongmei first came to the hotel located at the entrance of the base.

She had long heard that the business of the restaurant was very good, and every noon, it was overcrowded, and there was not enough food delivery staff.

So, she came to the restaurant with great confidence, hoping to get a job as a food server.

Before entering the restaurant, Dongmei was full of confidence, and said in her heart that the job of a food server has neither technical content nor ability, and a woman like herself should have no problem to be competent.

However, after Dongmei explained her intention to the restaurant owner, the boss did not hire Dongmei, on the grounds that his wife, children, sister, and brother-in-law were all idle, and there was no shortage of food deliverers.

Dongmei asked again if there was a shortage of cleaners?

The boss told him that the cleaners only hired elderly aunts, and because they were not paid, they did not hire young people at all.

However, there is a shortage of Sichuan chefs in the kitchen, and I asked Dongmei if she is qualified for the position of Sichuan chef?

Dongmei has basically never eaten stir-fried food since she was a child, let alone cooked stir-fried dishes, let alone become a Sichuan chef who focuses on stir-frying.

Dongmei walked out of the restaurant in a gray manner.

Dongmei, who left the restaurant, came to the only private store in the base and asked the boss if he hired a salesman?

The boss shook his head and said, a small business, he is responsible for his own rights, and there is no shortage of goods to sell.

Out of the commissary, Dongmei tried to go to the barber shop again.

But because he didn't have the craft, he didn't get hired.

In this way, Dongmei ran for a whole day and didn't find a job.

In that poor Loess Plateau town with the public economy as the main body and the private economy as little as possible, it is far more difficult to find a job for private workers than Dongmei imagined.

In the evening, when she returned home, Dongmei was a little depressed, and couldn't help sighing, it was difficult to make money and work.

Just when Dongmei's self-confidence was seriously hit, a dream in the night made Dongmei pick up her determination to find a job again.

As the saying goes, there are dreams every day, Dongmei's dream at night, it was clear that she dreamed that her brother-in-law was sitting on the ground crying because she had no money to start a business, and cursed Dongmei and said: "It's all your fault, I took the money I gave to start a business to buy an account, and now I have no money, even Xiaofang has run away, and you have to be responsible for all this." “

This dream scared Dongmei directly to wake up.

After a while, she reacted and kept telling herself that this was not true, just a dream, don't think too much, and don't scare yourself.

At the same time, she also reminded herself that as a college student, her brother-in-law would not be without interest to that point, crying because he had no money to start a business, that was not his style.

The next day, Dongmei went out to look for a job again, but this time, she put her goal of looking for a job at a shoe repair stall on the street, sharpening scissors with keys, repairing house leaks, high-pressure hose popcorn, etc., which seemed to be a relatively low-level job at the time.

The reason why Dongmei is looking for these jobs is because she has recognized her shortcomings.

First of all, I don't have any skills, let alone skills.

And as a woman, she doesn't have the strength of a man, so those high-paying and high-level jobs are not her own cup of tea at all.

So, let's start with those low-level jobs.

Since you have to do these jobs, you have to learn from others first.

So, with the idea of being an apprentice, Dongmei first came to the high-pressure hose popcorn master.

The popcorn was an old man, about fifty years old, with dark skin and frostbite on his hands.

When he heard that Dongmei was going to learn popcorn from him, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He looked at the tall, fair-skinned, thick-eyed woman in front of him, who was going to do such a dangerous and rough job, and felt very incredible, and even thought that Dongmei was deliberately teasing herself, so before Dongmei could apprentice, she was rejected by the old man.

Then, Dongmei came to the master of grinding scissors and keys, and wanted to learn a trick and a half from him, so that she could also pull a rack car and make a living.

The master of grinding scissors is very smart, he knows that in this market, he is the only one who grinds scissors with a key, if he teaches Dongmei, wouldn't it be a competitor for himself, and shoot himself in the foot?

In front of this master who sharpens scissors and matches keys, Dongmei is once again ruthlessly rejected.

Just when Dongmei was about to give up these small jobs on the street, Lao Zhou, the shoemaker who mended her shoes, saw Dongmei.

Because Dongmei often comes to repair and mend shoes here, Lao Zhou is still more impressed by Dongmei.

In order to solicit business, Lao Zhou shouted to Dongmei: "Xiao Yin, do you want to mend your shoes?"

Dongmei heard Lao Zhou's voice, she looked at the pair of women's leather shoes on her feet that were already very broken and had some heels, and said to Lao Zhou: "I don't mend my shoes today, I have nothing to do and go out for a walk." “

Lao Zhou began to observe Dongmei's shoes from afar, and said: "Xiao Yin, I see the heel of your shoes, the iron piece I ordered for you last time is about to fall off, no, I'll nail it firmly for you again." “

Dongmei and Weiguo have a habit, whenever they buy new leather shoes, the first thing is to go to Lao Zhou, first nail a piece of iron to the root of the leather shoes, or leather will be worn, because then the sole will not be broken, and it is not easy to wear.

Sometimes, with good care, a pair of shoes can last for years.

Dongmei saw that the piece of iron on the heel of the shoe was really about to fall, so she came to Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou saw Dongmei coming, looked her up and down, and then enthusiastically took out the slippers, asked Dongmei to change them, and then took Dongmei's women's leather shoes and began to knock.

Dongmei carefully observed Lao Zhou's shoe repair techniques, as well as his shoe repair tools.

I thought suspiciously, if I proposed to learn to repair shoes from him, would Lao Zhou be like the master who sharpened the scissors just now, worried that he had learned it and competed with him, so as to drive himself away directly?

Just when Dongmei hesitated, Lao Zhou was already very skillful in stapling Dongmei's soles to the palm.

Dongmei took the shoes, took out a dime from her pocket and said to Lao Zhou: "Then thank you, I found out in time that the iron piece on my leather shoes had fallen off, otherwise I wouldn't have known." “

Lao Zhou saw that Dongmei wanted to give money, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "You are all old customers, what kind of money do you give, it's not a major repair, forget it." “

Dongmei couldn't do it, so she just stuffed the dime into Lao Zhou's hand and said, "How can you not charge for a piece of iron that cost you?"

Although Lao Zhou shirked on the surface, he took the dime in his hand and said, "Then next time you come to repair shoes, I will give you free."

Saying that, Lao Zhou honestly and honestly looked at Dongmei with a smile on her face.

Dongmei looked at Lao Zhou's honest appearance, and suddenly dispelled the timidity in her heart.

So, she plucked up the courage to ask Lao Zhou, "Master Zhou, let me ask you a question, is it okay?"

Master Zhou looked at the beautiful and temperamental Dongmei and said, "If you have any questions about shoe repair, just ask." “

Dongmei coughed, cleared her throat and said, "Master Zhou, to tell you the truth, I want to learn to repair shoes from you." “

Hearing this, Lao Zhou was shocked, looking at Dongmei, who was dressed cleanly and fair-skinned, and said: "Repairing shoes, mending shoes, these are all dirty work, although they are not tired, but they are dirty and smelly, people like us can do it, how can you do it for the families of workers like you?"

Dongmei felt that she was being held very high by Lao Zhou, but she looked at Lao Zhou, she had been dealing with some smelly shoes all year round, not only her clothes were dirty, her hands were dirty, but even her face was dirty.

But dirty is dirty, where there is something that can be rewarded without labor.

So, Dongmei smiled and said, "Is it all human work, although it is dirty, you can do it, I can do it, you can accept me as an apprentice." “

Lao Zhou still felt that it was inappropriate for Dongmei to do this job, he said: "You are a family member, your man works in the drilling team, and there is no shortage of money according to reason, why do you still come to do this job?"

Dongmei smiled and said: "Although the days have passed, but the children have gone to school, and it is not a matter for one of my family members to stay at home all day, it is better to come out to earn some money and subsidize the family." “

Lao Zhou said: "This shoe repair and shoe repair, in fact, is very simple, as long as you can put down the lower body, not afraid of embarrassment, not afraid of ridicule from the people around you, I Lao Zhou promise, you can learn all my skills within a week." “

Dongmei heard that Lao Zhou promised to teach herself to repair shoes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Zhou, don't worry, after I learn, I won't repair shoes in this drill base, compete with you, I will go directly to the county to repair shoes, in this way, you can rest assured." “

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "As long as you can learn, you can repair shoes anywhere, in this drill base, my family repairs shoes, sometimes it's too busy, with you, just to serve the public, why not?"

Hearing this, Dongmei happily sat next to Lao Zhou and immediately began to study.
