Chapter 5 Mother's Work
In the evening, the father and son arrived home from work together, and the mother had already prepared dinner.
Lin Qiangsheng washed his hands, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of food first.
"My son took off his clothes, and it was dirty." Xu Hongmei said to Lin Qiangsheng.
"Okay." Lin Qiangsheng walked outside and took off his work clothes, shook them, and then walked to his house and hung up his work clothes.
Dinner was a mixture of rice and broken corn stubble, and cornmeal nests, and my mother added a little sugar, which was sweet.
The dish is stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut and big bones, and there are three large vats at home for pickling sauerkraut. There is also grass carp soup on the table, grass carp that my mother bought by the river.
It is now the middle of May, the river has long been civilized, and anglers have come out to fish again, and there are fish sold by the river.
"Xiang Rong, the city is going to solve my work problem." Xu Hongmei said to her husband.
After Lin Xiangrong heard this, he put down the bowl and asked, "The old man has solved it over there?" ”
My father asked about my grandfather's family in Yangyang. They used to work in the education department, but because of some reasons in the past, they were wrongly classified as right-wing and suffered some blows. A while ago, I heard that their superiors were going to rehabilitate them, so Lin Xiangrong asked.
"Well, the situation of my parents' reaction, the above verified. After the above investigation, their innocence was proved, and they were rehabilitated and restored! My eldest brother also wants to resume work. Alas, the family finally got through it. Xu Hongmei said happily.
"That's good! The city gives you a solution job, what are your plans? Lin Xiangrong asked.
"Didn't I ask you? If I work, I will go to work at the Municipal Health Bureau as before, okay? Xu Hongmei asked for her husband's opinion.
Lin Xiangrong said without much thought at this time: "What are you doing at the Health Bureau?" The Health Bureau can't even pay wages now, so you might as well go to our factory. Our factory has good treatment and high wages, and all the units with cars in the city do not take care of us? ”
Lin Qiangsheng lowered his head to eat, and when he heard this, he glanced at his father with a vague disdain.
In his previous life, there was also such a scene. At that time, my mother also asked my father's opinion, and my father insisted that my mother go to his own unit.
As a result, my mother really went to the auto repair shop and became an ordinary hygienist, and lost her serious job in the city bureau in vain.
That's the way it is, it's the only chance in a person's life! It is another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the 77-year-old Municipal Health Bureau is the time when there is a shortage of cadres. My mother is educated and a serious college student, so it is easy to make a difference.
As a result, in his previous life, he listened to his father, and his mother became an ordinary hygienist.
Hygienists and cadres are very different in identity! One will be ordinary people in the future, and the other will be government officials, and the distance between the two will be like heaven and earth.
Wait until the nineties, when the private auto repair industry rose. At that time, the Jiang'an auto repair factory was not as good as before, and it could only be on the verge of bankruptcy.
My mother asked someone to ask for a relationship, so I got the health bureau and worked as an ordinary handyman until I finally retired.
Now that he has come to the crossroads of his chosen life, Lin Qiangsheng can't let his visionless father bury his mother's future anymore.
I don't want to fight for the ready-made cadre work, and I will work as a hygienist in an auto repair factory!
"Mom, don't go to the auto repair shop, there is no future as an ordinary hygienist. You should go to the Municipal Health Bureau, how good is the identity of the cadre! Lin Qiangsheng looked up and said.
"Huh? Go to the health bureau? Xu Hongmei asked her son in surprise. I don't know why my son expressed his opinion at this time, I've never seen him say anything before!
"You know the! If you can't even get paid to the health bureau, it's good to go to the auto repair shop! Lin Xiangrong glared at his son and insisted that his wife go to his unit.
Lin Qiangsheng ignored his father and continued to say to his mother: "Mom, go to the Health Bureau!" With your qualifications, you'll be promoted in less than two years. When the time comes, our family can change houses, maybe Mom you can divide the building! ”
Xu Hongmei was surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, there was really the possibility that her son said.
Seeing his wife nodding, Lin Xiangrong hurriedly said, "What are you doing at the Health Bureau?" How good it is to be in an auto repair shop, commute to work together all day long, and eat in time! ”
"After a long time, you just think about eating? Let me cook for you in time all day, won't you? When Xu Hongmei heard this, she immediately asked aggressively.
Lin Qiangsheng glanced at his father, ignored his gaze at him, and said: "The surface scenery of the auto repair shop may not be possible in the future." In the future, there will be more factories to repair cars, who will come to Jiang'an Auto Repair Factory. ”
Lin Xiangrong slapped the table and said angrily: "Why are you talking like that, where can the auto repair shop be like what you said!" Besides, who can beat our auto repair shop?! ”
Lin Qiangsheng pursed his lips, continued to pick up chopsticks to eat, and said while eating: "I heard that the Transportation Bureau is going to make their repair shop bigger." Isn't this just stealing business from us? ”
"Just them? Can a passenger car repair Jeep and Volga? Lin Xiangrong said with a smile.
Xu Hongmei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you." Maybe Johnson & Johnson is right, I go to the health bureau and maybe in a few years our house will be able to go upstairs! ”
"What kind of building to go to, how nice is this place in the auto repair shop!" Lin Xiangrong said unconvinced.
"Fart garage, eat yours!" Xu Hongmei said fiercely.
After dinner, Lin Qiangsheng put the dishes and chopsticks into the pot in the kitchen and went back to the house.
When Xu Hongmei saw it, she whispered to her husband: "My son is sensible, you see that he now knows how to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." I used to do it, and after eating, I threw it down and ran. Don't keep talking about him in the future, my son has grown up! ”
Lin Xiangrong glanced in the direction of Westinghouse and said, "I know, now I have to listen to him in the factory." This kid has a very good idea, and it takes so much work to get a model. I don't know what's wrong, I was beaten up, this kid suddenly became sexual?! ”
Xu Hongmei just wanted to ask her son about painting a car, but when she heard that she forgot the front, she immediately hated: "I don't know which Wang Ba calf beat my son, let me know that I have to go to his house!" ”
Lin Xiangrong shook his hand and said, "Forget it, what to find, my son is fine." It's just such a home, just don't have an accident! ”
Xu Hongmei sighed and nodded.
The eldest Lin Qiangdong went to the south to be a soldier, and he left very early, and he went to be a soldier at the age of 17. It's been three years now. I heard that I was good in the army, and I just got promoted to deputy platoon commander.
The second Lin Xiang, went to the countryside of Binshi to learn about the youth, that place is not bad, there is no shortage of food. From time to time, you can also help your family, send some non-staple food or something back, but it is far away, it is inconvenient to take the car, and you can only come back to see it during the New Year's holiday.
When Lin Qiangsheng returned to the house, he took out a small red book from his small box.
He sat on the kang, set up the small table, slowly recalled the memories of his previous life, and wrote down some events and what he felt was necessary to remember in his notebook.
This process of recalling and recording past lives is quite time-consuming, and an hour has passed before you know it.
Lin Qiangsheng put the small book back in the box, and then counted his two months' salary, a total of 36 yuan, and a small pile of odds. The food and meat stamps were handed over to his mother, and he only kept the money in his hand.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and he didn't know what the money could do now, he could probably go to the restaurant 20 times, two dishes each time, one meat and one vegetable.
He put the money away, put the little book at the bottom of the box, and then locked the small wooden box and put it in the cabinet.
This box was originally prepared by his parents for his eldest brother, and then his sister used it, and after they left the house one after another, now it was his turn to use it again.
Lin Qiangsheng looked in the mirror, brushed his hair and looked at the scar on his head, which took 3 stitches at that time, and now it is basically impossible to see.
"Who called me? I can't remember it a little. Lin Qiangsheng thought about it, but he didn't remember who hit him, so he simply didn't want to.
He went up to the kitchen and fetched a basin of water. After washing his feet, he went back to the house and went to the kang.
Lin Qiangsheng picked up an English-Chinese dictionary and memorized English words.
Now it's just more than eight o'clock in the evening, and I can't sleep, I found such an English dictionary from the factory, and Lin Qiangsheng memorized it every night like a treasure.
"Dangdangdang" The door was knocked a few times, and the mother pushed the door open and entered.
Xu Hongmei saw her son reading a book with a small candle, and asked with a smile, "Son, what are you reading?" Don't light up with so many candles, tired eyes! ”
Lin Qiangsheng put down the dictionary in his hand and said with a smile: "Got it, Mom." When I have time, I'll try getting an oil lamp. ”
Xu Hongmei nodded with a smile, thought for a while and said, "Do you really think it's good for your mother to work in the Health Bureau?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng asked his mother to sit on the edge of the kang and said, "Of course, what level is the Health Bureau, what level is the auto repair factory, and the Health Bureau will definitely be better in the future!" ”
Xu Hongmei sighed and said, "I really didn't think about it, but the Health Bureau heard that it can't pay salaries, and it can't even issue salary and food stamps, what do we eat?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "The difficulties are only temporary. Besides, Mom, you don't have any salary stamps now, so our family can't live the same. ”
Xu Hongmei said funny: "You kid, you won't say good things to your mother at all." ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Mom, you can go to the Health Bureau." Maybe in two years, you will be a big cadre, and you will definitely be able to issue salary and food stamps at that time. You don't have to worry about your family, why do I have a salary now. ”
Xu Hongmei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, let's take a look." Tomorrow I will talk to my superiors and go to the health bureau. Listening to you, I feel that working as a hygienist in an auto repair shop is really boring. ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded happily, and his mother told him to go to bed early and go back to the house.
Blow out the candle and set the dictionary aside. Lin Qiangsheng lay down in the quilt and tried to think about something to make money, but he didn't have a clue after all.
After that, Lin Qiangsheng closed his eyes, counted the banknotes in his mind and fell asleep.
