Due to the arrival of Wang Xuege, in addition to Liu Hongxia and Sister-in-law Du, there are more Wang Xuege in the team of Dongmei's good sisters, and everyone is happier together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, just as Dongmei and a few good sisters were eating melon seeds at home and doing homework, Kang Ping actually took the initiative to come over.

It turned out that Kang Ping was new to the city, unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, and had no friends, so she came to play with Dongmei.

For Kang Ping's arrival, Dongmei is still very happy.

She took the initiative to introduce Kang Ping to everyone, and introduced several good sisters around her to Kang Ping one by one.

In that era when there were no TVs, no computers, and no mobile phones, it was the happiest thing for everyone to get together and chat.

Although Kang Ping quickly integrated into the ranks of Dongmei's good sisters, because Kang Ping is the leader's wife, and she wears gold and silver and dresses fashionably, she still has a certain distance from everyone.

Suddenly, one day, Kang Ping disappeared from the team of Dongmei's good sisters and stopped playing with Dongmei and them.

Dongmei cares about Kang Ping very much, thinking if she is not suitable for everyone's old hats, or if she can't come because of something, or if she goes back to her hometown to pick up her two daughters?

Dongmei took the initiative to come to Kang Ping's house.

When he knocked on the door of Kang Ping's house, there was no response.

She came several times in a row, but no one came.

Dongmei felt very puzzled, so she changed the time.

After eating in the afternoon, Dongmei came to Kang Ping's house, fortunately, this time Dongmei knocked on Kang Ping's door.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the past, Kang Ping in front of him was much colder.

Dongmei asked with concern: "Kang Ping, I haven't come to my house for a few days, is there anything wrong, just tell me if you want to help." ”

Kang Ping sat on the sofa and said with a very tired look: "From now on, under normal circumstances, I may not be able to go, so I can only pass on Sunday." ”

Dongmei asked curiously: "I usually come here when I have time, how boring it is to stay at home." ”

Kang Ping said: "I have to go to work from Monday to Friday. ”

Hearing that Kang Ping went to work, Dongmei was very puzzled, she was a family member like herself before, how could she say that she would go to work when she went to work?

She asked curiously, "What kind of work are you doing when you go to work?"

Kang Ping said with some pride: "What about the boiler team." ”

Dongmei knows that the boiler team is a logistics department of the unit, in addition to burning the boiler, it is also responsible for many maintenance and property affairs in the base, and it can be regarded as the official establishment of the unit.

Dongmei asked Kang Ping incredulously: "Boiler team, regular worker?"

Kang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, I just entered a few days ago." ”

Being able to have a job is Dongmei's lifelong dream, and this dream is alive in front of her eyes, and Kang Ping's body is staged.

Dongmei licked her chapped lips and asked for directions: "Kang Ping, I also want to be a worker, can you tell me how I changed from a family member to a worker?"

Kang Ping waved his hands and said simply: "Just go to the boiler team to apply for a job, and then join, it's as simple as that." ”

Dongmei poked her head out of Kang Ping's side, for fear of missing every word Kang Ping said.

"Is it really that simple?" she asked.

Kang Ping thought for a while and said, "That's right, but you must meet the conditions of the city hukou." ”

Hearing the words of the city hukou again, Dongmei's heart instantly turned cold.

This seems to be a hurdle that she can't get over, and she thinks uncomfortably in her heart, what have we rural people done wrong, even if the unit recruits workers, it must be an urban hukou?

Dongmei nodded and said to Kang Ping: "I also want to be a worker, but I am a rural hukou." ”

Kang Ping smiled and said: "That's as simple as one, just buy a city hukou." ”

Dongmei asked with concern, "Where to buy?"

Kang Ping said: "My hukou is to buy two drills, which is the cheapest place in our system for urban hukou." ”

Dongmei said: "I heard people say that it costs 5,000 yuan. ”

Kang Ping said: "Five thousand is five thousand, when you work, you will earn it back in five years, and in the future, you will not be able to calculate this account if you will ensure the harvest in drought and flood, and you will not lose money." ”

Dongmei nodded thoughtfully and said, "You're right." ”

Kang Ping encouraged Dongmei and said: "It's better to take action than to be excited, what are you waiting for, go buy a city hukou and have a formal job, not only others will look up to us, but even my husband will look up to us." ”

In the workplace, there is a very strange discrimination, that is, dual-income families, families that look down on single-income workers, women who have jobs, and women who look down on women who have no jobs and are family members.

In addition, a woman who has a job never interacts with a family member who does not have a job.

Dongmei suddenly understood, she knew the reason why Kang Ping didn't come to everyone's party.

Because everyone is a family member who has no job, and Kang Ping is now an employee with status.

Coming out of Kang Ping's house, Dongmei's heart was very entangled.

Although her dream is to become a worker, the money to buy a hukou is too expensive, whether she wants to buy a hukou, Dongmei fell into a depressed contemplation.

Dongmei, who couldn't sit still at home, wrote a letter to Wei Guo and told Wei Guo her thoughts, hoping that Wei Guo could support her.

Then, she went to Wang Xuege's house and told Wang Xuege the good news.

However, Wang Xue'e did not plan to buy a hukou.

Because Wang Chaoying is a dutiful son, he gave almost all the money he earns every year to his parents, and all the money they have in hand together is less than 1,000 yuan, let alone 5,000 yuan to buy an account.

Dongmei went to find Sister-in-law Du, although Sister-in-law Du also wanted to become a worker, but she couldn't scrape together enough 5,000 yuan.

Dongmei's family, because Wei Guo is a technician, plus he doesn't smoke or drink, and Dongmei also lives a simple life, so he still took out 5,000 yuan.

However, Dongmei is not sure that Wei Guo will come up with such a huge amount of money to buy an account for herself.

Then, Dongmei came to Liu Hongxia's house again.

Liu Hongxia's family conditions are the best among several family members, she immediately decided to buy a hukou, and without telling Li Jianjun, she took out 5,000 yuan from the box.

Although Dongmei and Liu Hongxia both bought hukou, there were still differences between the two.

Liu Hongxia insisted on going to her hometown to buy a hukou, because in that case, she would officially turn from farming to non-farming.

However, Dongmei insisted on buying a household registration in Drill Er because the city hukou of Drill Er was cheap.

Therefore, Liu Hongxia did not wait for Dongmei, so she set off in advance.

Wei Guo, who received the letter, immediately denied Dongmei's decision to buy an account.

Because, he felt that the reason why Kang Ping was able to have a formal job was not because she had a city hukou, but because of his husband who was the big leader, he played a decisive role.

Even if Dongmei buys a city hukou and comes back, she may not be able to become a regular worker in the unit.

Besides, it costs so much money.

And this money, but Wei Guo promised to leave it to his younger brother Baoguo to open a clinic and start a business.

After Dongmei received the letter, she was very unhappy, she was paranoid that the reason why Wei Guo found so many reasons not to buy a household registration for herself was because the money was for her younger brother Baoguo to start a business, so she prevaricated herself.

She sent another letter to Wei Guo, telling him that Liu Hongxia had gone back to her hometown to buy a hukou, and if she didn't hurry up and missed the opportunity to work, she would have to complain for the rest of her life.

Wei Guo saw that he couldn't convince Dongmei by writing a letter alone, so he asked the leader for leave and prepared to go home to do Dongmei's work.

Dongmei saw that Wei Guo came back without taking a vacation, and happily thought that Wei Guo came back to take care of the children at home, so she let herself go to buy a household registration, and happily kissed Wei Guo.

However, Wei Guo immediately poured a basin of cold water on Dongmei's head.

He analyzed Dongmei from the situation and situation of the whole unit, and came to the conclusion that there were enough employees in the unit and it was saturated, and many people were eating idle meals.

On average, every five front-line workers have to feed one person who eats idle food in the back-office, so no matter what, the unit will not recruit any more regular workers.

But Dongmei firmly believes that what Kang Ping told her is the truth, and Weiguo is sacrificing her own interests for the sake of her brother-in-law.

So the quarrel between the two became white-hot.

They had never quarreled so fiercely and aggressively in front of their children, and Wei Guo even almost beat Dongmei in front of their children.

Dongmei is very aggrieved, as a family member, husband and child, she has worked hard and dedicated half of her life, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to have a job.

So, she wiped away her tears, spread her hands, and told Wei Guodao: "Okay, I didn't take a penny from you." ”

After speaking, Dongmei walked out of the door with tears in her eyes and walked in the direction of the river beach.

Tao Tao and Nana saw their mother go out and cried to find their mother, Wei Guo grabbed Tao Tao and Nana and told them not to look for them, let Dongmei go out and think about it and come back.

When you go out, the winter plum is very thin, the temperature difference on the Loess Plateau is very large, once the sky is dark, the temperature will drop rapidly.

Dongmei clasped her hands in front of her chest and walked forward against the cold wind.

Slowly, Dongmei recalled many disputes between herself and Wei Guo, and found that they were all talking about money.

She deeply felt that as a housewife, a woman without any income, a woman who lives on her husband's money, has no status, no right to speak, and naturally does not enjoy respect.

When I was in my hometown, I worked in the fields day and night, and when I was leaving, I didn't have a penny on hand, and I wanted to buy a tomato for myself and my children to eat, but I couldn't get this money.

When he came to the city, every penny he spent, he had to think about whether he should spend it, whether it was worth spending, and whether he dared to spend it.

Because, none of this money was earned by her.

In that era when the private economy and the private economy were very rare, if a person wanted to make money, he had to take the single-plank bridge of unit recruitment.

Dongmei walked by the river for a long time, and the night was very dark, but the moonlight shone on the clear water of the Yanhe River, flooding with layers of waves.

The weather was cold, the wind was getting stronger, and Dongmei suddenly felt the urge to jump into the river.

She felt that her life was too useless and worthless, her parents were sick, and she had to reach out and ask for the money to buy them a box of medicine, and she had to look at Wei Guo's face, let alone give them some pocket money.

On the contrary, Dongmei thought about it again, after she was old, she was on crutches, seriously ill, had no pension, no income, not only could not help the children share the financial pressure, but also dragged the children down, it was really better to die now.

Wei Guo waited at home until almost ten o'clock, and he didn't see Dongmei's return.

After a quarrel in the past, Dongmei went out for a walk, and she would come back when she was angry.

But today, Dongmei has been out for almost five hours and hasn't come back yet.

Wei Guo was faintly uneasy, hurriedly put on leather shoes, put on his coat, and prepared to go out to find Dongmei.

At this time, Taotao and Nana, who had already stripped naked and burrowed into the bed, also got up from the bed and cried and said to their father: "I want my mother, I want my mother." ”

Wei Guo dressed the two children and comforted the two children: "Don't be afraid, mom will come back after going out for a turn, let's go to find mom now." ”

With that, Wei Guo took the two children out of the gate and walked in the direction of the river beach.
