Because of the notice of layoff from the sugar factory, the originally peaceful small county town suddenly exploded, and then several factories such as the distillery and the flax factory also issued layoff notices one after another, and the panic atmosphere in the county reached its peak for a while.

Because a large number of employees have been laid off and unemployed, the business in Ling Ma's store has also been affected to a certain extent, and there are obviously a lot fewer people shopping these days.

"Da Bao'er, I discussed with your aunt and wanted to recruit a clerk, otherwise she couldn't be busy alone in the few days when I went to buy goods, and when I was busy a few times ago, the store also lost things, and it was not a way to go on like this. Recruit someone to keep an eye on, usually the two of us can take a break, what do you think? "In the store, Ling's mother always likes to ask Ling Xiaoxiao when she eats dinner, regardless of whether her daughter is actually only a teenager.

Ling Xiaoxiao bit her chopsticks and nodded, the last time she went to the store, she felt that there was a shortage of manpower, and she wanted to remind them to come, but she was forgotten by Ye Ling's classmates as soon as she stirred it up.

"You should have hired someone a long time ago, otherwise it would be too hard for the two of you to toss like this every day, please ask someone to help you and you can rest more, my grandma is old after all, and there is still someone to take care of her at home." Ling Xiaoxiao thought of the last time she went to see her grandmother, the old lady had lost weight again, and it was really not good to have no one to take care of her when she was old.

Seeing her daughter say this, Ling's mother also felt that they were so busy that they ignored their old lady, the old lady was old, and she was always alone at home, and it was not convenient to take care of Ye Ling.

Mother Ling frowned: "Then what kind of person do you say we recruit?" What your aunt means is that you should find someone who has just been laid off, and it can be regarded as a favor to save someone. ”

Freshly laid off...... Ling Xiaoxiao disagreed a little, and said on a case-by-case basis: "Mom, there are few customers in the store these days, you don't have to rush to recruit people, I think, you'd better find someone who has experienced, and those who have sold goods will look at people and have eyes, you don't need to teach, you can get started directly; People who have just been laid off are still in a stage of emotional instability, and they are not necessarily willing to work as clerks to sell goods, which may not be very stable. ”

As soon as Ling Xiaoxiao's words were finished, Ling's mother slapped her thigh: "I know that my eldest treasure will say this, and I mean the same thing, you said that if you don't want to recruit anything, isn't it equal to no recruitment?" Moreover, it is difficult to say that you just don't want to use it when the time comes. ”

"Then you just tell my aunt, she probably remembered that she had a difficult time before, and she was also kind." Ling Xiaoxiao can more or less guess some of her aunt's careful thoughts, no matter how strong and hearty a person is, there is always a soft place in his heart.

Ling's mother also understood when she heard Ling Xiaoxiao say this, and knew where the problem was: "My big treasure is great, every time I tell you something, I can always help me analyze the head of the way, okay, my mother knows what to do." ”

When Dad Ling came back, it was almost ten o'clock, and when he entered the house, his face was obviously tired, and Dad Ling hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Is there anything going on at the gas station today?" ”

Ling's father handed over his coat to Ling's mother and quickly poured himself a glass of water, poured it down, and then took a breath and said: "Don't mention it, today, those workers who have just been laid off in the county have gathered and run to the county government compound to make trouble.

The person who took the lead wrote a letter asking for equal treatment, either unemployed together, or all of them were assigned jobs, and they all made a fuss all day. The leaders of the county did not come forward, and it is estimated that there will be trouble tomorrow, no, the leaders of our unit hurriedly held a meeting for us, so that we should be careful when we go out these days. ”

"How did this happen? Yes, this is all of a sudden, it will go out of business, there is no warning at all, you said that so many people have lost their jobs all at once, but what can you do. Ling's mother frowned when she heard Ling's father say this, she didn't expect it to make such a big fuss.

Ling Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the small room and heard the conversation between her parents, she vaguely remembered that the collapse and layoff incident was quite big, before and after two months, the county's factories had already failed to benefit in the early years, and the wages were paid intermittently, often not paid, all relying on the county's finances to support, and the closure was sooner or later, but the workers couldn't accept it.

After two months of trouble, it was finally over, but the county leaders applied for a sum of money from the above, and issued a subsidy to each laid-off employee, but there were too many monks and too little porridge, and it could not play a practical role.

The original institutions in the county were very simple, except for the first batch of small businesses, most of the rest were employees in the factory, the efficiency of the factory was not good over the years, and the wages were often not paid, not to mention any performance bonuses and the like, the basic salary was low, and every family was tightening their belts to live, and their hands were tight, and there was no savings.

All of a sudden, there is no job, and there is no hope for the last life, how can these people accept it? And most of them are about 40 years old, and it is not so easy for them to re-employ them when they reach middle age.

In the next few days, as Ling Xiaoxiao remembered, the county town was chaotic, and many students in the class were affected by listening to lectures and doing questions.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think it would be useful for my parents to ask for explanations every day?" Xu Xiaoying's eyes were confused.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Xiaoying, she knew that the other party was not necessarily asking for advice, but she just wanted to find a place to vent the doubts in her heart.

"Why do you want to do so much, you see that you have been distracted from even class recently, and you are careful that you really can't get into the first middle school when the time comes."

Xu Xiaoying sat down next to her, holding her chin in her hand, and her eyes didn't know where to go: "I also know that it's useless to think about it here, but as soon as I go home and see my parents' worried faces, I can't help but think about it." ”

"It will always pass," Ling Xiaoxiao patted her on the shoulder: "You have to believe your parents, they are very strong." ”

"Yes, I know." The class bell rang, and Xu Xiaoying got up and went back to her seat.

Because the questions of the unified examination suddenly changed in style, these days, the amount of test papers issued by teachers in various subjects in the school is much less than before, and it is estimated that teachers of various subjects are thinking about the type of test questions.

The teachers began to review the basics again as if they had discussed, memorizing formulas and laws over and over again, although the students were a little impatient, but they didn't dare to say anything, and obediently followed the teacher's rhythm, and the teacher did whatever he wanted......

At first, the laid-off employees made a lot of noise in the county government compound every day, but later found that this did not work, so they changed to gather at the door every morning, and one person brought a small horse or cushion, and then sat quietly in the courtyard or at the door, and sat for a day.

It lasted for a long time, and it had a certain degree of impact on all parts of the county, because Ling's father's new gas station was still under construction, so it had little impact, but the sales of the old gas station were declining all the way, and Ling's mother's store was the same, and the new spring clothes were not sold well, and the clothes came back for half a month for the first time, and half of them were not sold.
