Chapter 59: Conversation
Xu Xiaoying originally hated these people who suddenly appeared, but now when she heard that Ling Xiaoxiao was actually going to give the mushrooms they had picked with great difficulty to outsiders, she was definitely unwilling, and just wanted to go out and say something, she was grabbed by Wu Qingqing, who was quick-eyed.
The middle-aged man on the other side looked at the three of them and smiled very gently: "No need, little girl, it's not easy for you to pick mushrooms, how can we adults rob you." ”
Xu Xiaoying snorted softly behind Ling Xiaoxiao, but the sound was not loud, and the other party should not have heard it.
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't force a few people when she saw that they didn't want to, and they didn't come just politely.
"Little girl, did you just come out after the exam to relax?"
The young man behind the middle-aged man with two bags in his hand came over and whispered a few words to him, and when he saw the indifferent middle-aged man waving his hand, the person who spoke retreated behind him.
"yes, we just finished the exam." Ling Xiaoxiao asked and answered politely.
"How? How did you do on the exam? You must be still in middle school. ”
"Well, we are all junior high school students, we should be okay in the exam, and our parents can almost make a difference."
"Oh? It's not bad to be able to make a difference, by the way, what do your parents do? ”
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ling Xiaoxiao's heart moved, she glanced at Xu Xiaoying, and gave Wu Qingqing another look, and then said: "My parents are both employees of the sugar factory, and they have just been laid off recently, and I don't know what to do in the future." ”
"They are all employees of the sugar factory, so do your parents have any thoughts on this matter when they are laid off this time?" The middle-aged man leaned forward slightly.
Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said in a low voice: "There must be ideas, our family has not been in a very good mood recently, after all, they have been in the factory for half their lives, and they will be laid off when they say that they will be laid off, and the iron rice bowl will be gone all of a sudden, and now that they are older, they don't know what they can do."
Besides, to a working family like us, life has not been good all these years, the factory has not been able to pay wages, and has been living a tight life, and now there is suddenly no income, and the family has no savings, and I don't know what to do with the tuition fees for high school in the second half of the year. ”
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard Ling Xiaoxiao's words, as if he didn't expect Ling Xiaoxiao to say so much, and moreover, he was so unpolite.
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't seem to see the expression of the middle-aged man, and continued: "My parents are in their forties, and they don't want to go out to find things these days, because they are old. My parents worry every day, and they don't know what they can do. ”
After Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she kept looking at the middle-aged man, and the people behind him, the middle-aged man was in deep thought when he heard this, his head slightly lowered, his eyes drooped, and he looked like he was thinking standardly.
Some of the people behind him had a look of embarrassment, and some of them looked ashamed, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at them, and the guess in her heart was confirmed.
"Little girl, I know your parents' difficulties, but there are also difficulties in the factory, and our county's finances can't support it." The middle-aged man finally sighed, as if explaining and explaining.
"It's a foregone conclusion that laid-off workers are done, what's the use of talking about right and wrong now? We just hope that the county can give these workers an explanation, or give them a follow-up arrangement, so many people are unemployed at once, and those scattered recruitment alone cannot solve the employment problem of so many people. ”
In the previous life, these workers could still receive a compensation after being laid off, no matter how much it was, at least it showed the compassion of the county leaders for these employees, but it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and if they can help these people to re-employ, it is much better than the compensation that is not spent a little.
"Little girl, the employment positions in the county are indeed limited, and you can't place so many laid-off workers at once, so you can only find a way to do it little by little." The middle-aged man sighed, but there was helplessness in his tone.
It's not easy to settle, this Ling Xiaoxiao also knows, but she has something to say when she gets the opportunity: "Our county can re-establish some enterprises, such as some specialties in the county and other distinctive things, you can do a good job of packaging and selling." ”
"Oh? Little girl, what do you think is the good thing in our county that can be sold outside? When the middle-aged man heard Ling Xiaoxiao's words, he couldn't help but be interested.
"There are a lot of them, such as the mushrooms here, this forest is so big, usually everyone comes to pick it, but it only lights up the periphery, and there are very few people coming in inside, every time it rains, there are a lot of mushrooms in the pine forest, these can be sold, this is all green and pollution-free food, people in the city like it very much;
There are also our potatoes and soybeans agricultural products are very good, the county collects grain uniformly, and then packages a brand and sells it to the city, you can do it. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao thought that in her previous life, those organic vegetables in the big supermarkets were very expensive, but they had always sold very well, and in the future, no matter where people were, they would pay attention to food safety, and there was a great demand for green and pollution-free food. If the crops in the county can be packaged and sold, both the peasants and the workers who have just been laid off will be properly resettled.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and smiled: "What are these things so rare in our county, not to mention the surrounding counties, even in the surrounding provinces, who would be willing to spend more money to buy them." ”
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew that her idea had been denied, and also, the things in the county were treasures in her eyes, but in this era, these things are not very rare, and it will be a few years before the broadcast media hypes it up, and people will have this awareness.
It's just that at that time, people with vision and foresight have already started related businesses one step ahead of others, and it will be too late to do it when the time comes.
After chatting for a while, the middle-aged man lost interest in continuing to talk to them, waved his hand and turned around and left with a few others.
"Xiaoxiao, who are these people? Why do you tell them so much? Besides, when did your parents become employees in the sugar factory? Xu Xiaoying saw that the person was leaving, and hurriedly pulled her shirt and asked.
Ling Xiaoxiao and Wu Qingqing looked at each other and smiled tacitly, looking at Xu Xiaoying, who was like a silly eldest sister, she could only say helplessly: "If you look at the behavior and clothing of a few people, you should be able to guess that they must be from government agencies, plus they care so much about the laid-off workers this time, so I guess these people should all be from the county, maybe they are all leaders." ”
"What? Leadership? Why didn't you say it earlier, if I knew I had to ask them how they could let my parents be laid off like that, it's so irresponsible. When Xu Xiaoying heard this, she immediately exploded, and she wanted to catch up with her to make an explanation.
"What's the use of asking, it's a foregone conclusion. You, this personality really needs to be changed. Ling Xiaoxiao pulled her arm with great effort and didn't let her run out.
