For dinner today, Lu Yuan ate a few dishes fried by my mother, which were either light or salty, completely missing the level of her Lu family's first master.

During the meal, Lu Yuan secretly observed his mother, his face was melancholy, he was hiding something in his heart, his appetite was obviously not good, and he didn't talk much during the whole process. Lu Yuan couldn't hold back several times and wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he was kicked back by Lu Qingshan with his foot under the table.

After eating, the family watched TV in the living room for a while, in order to follow Wu Xiuqin's mood, Lu Qingshan didn't even watch his favorite news broadcast, and kept changing the channel. However, during the news broadcast period, satellite TV all over the country is broadcast, no matter how Lao Lu changes, it is all news broadcast. Or will you be counted down by Wu Xiuqin for a while, exchanged for it, and your eyes will be spent, you will die?

The atmosphere at home was a little weird and heavy, Lu Yuan borrowed an excuse to go out for a walk after dinner, yo and eat, but actually escaped from the main battlefield and went to the Internet café to play games for a while.

He stayed in the Internet café until about ten o'clock before returning home. As usual, at this point, my parents have already gone to bed and can be quiet.

But when he entered the house, he found that his mother hadn't slept yet, and was squatting on the side of the coffee table in the living room, with a big white paper on the coffee table, and Wu Xiuqin was holding a pen to draw circles on the paper.

He tiptoed over, took a look at the white paper, all kinds of circles and annotations, if it wasn't for the sketch of the living area of Hangsan Cotton Factory with a pen directly above the white paper, Lu Yuan really thought it was a self-made flying chess map.

Wu Xiuqin found that Lu Yuan was back, and quickly put the map under the coffee table, and then sat back on the sofa.

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Lu Yuan asked.

Wu Xiuqin shook her head and said, "I'm so panicked that I can't sleep." ”

Lu Yuan sat down next to Wu Xiuqin, stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and said, "Mom, if you are laid off, you will be laid off, don't worry, I will support you in the future!" ”

"Sneer......"

Wu Xiuqin couldn't help laughing, touched Lu Yuan's head lovingly, and said, "My son is really a big breath!" With your salary, you can't even support yourself, and you still support your mother? Hey, how do you know your mom is laid off? ”

Lu Yuan had no choice but to sell Comrade Lu Qingshan reluctantly.

Wu Xiuqin glared in the direction of the bedroom, listened to the snoring sound coming from Lu Qingshan in the bedroom, and said angrily: "His broken mouth just can't hide things, and everything is bald." ”

"Mom, I'm your son, can you hide something from me if there's something at home? Comrade Lao Lu is still loyal and reliable, and if he knows that a family member should know everything and say everything! ”

Lu Yuan knew that his mother would be counted down by his father tomorrow at most, so he asked with a smile, "But Mom." Didn't you say that Uncle Wang would mediate? Why did you decide to be laid off so quickly? ”

Wu Xiuqin didn't plan to hide it from Lu Yuan at this time, and told Lu Yuan about going to the house of Wang Datou, the head of their labor insurance station, that night.

That night, Wu Xiuqin pulled Lu Qingshan to carry cigarettes and alcohol gifts and went to Stationmaster Wang's house. After going to his house, the other party was also very enthusiastic, making tea, handing cigarettes to Lu Qingshan, and calling Lu Qingshan senior brother when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth. When he entered the workshop back then, it was indeed Lu Qingshan who took him to work for a few months, teaching him a lot of things in the workshop, and he was worthy of being a senior brother.

This made Lu Qingshan a little surprised, but he didn't expect the other party to be quite nostalgic, and he didn't have the villain's ambition and domineering appearance as he imagined. Later, the two of them also explained their intentions and asked Stationmaster Wang to help mediate.

However, Wang Datou told them with a solemn face that the factory laid off non-technical positions and unconventional workers in batches, which is already the trend of the times, and this has become a settlement, one of the three cotton factory restructuring is to streamline bloated institutions and cut unnecessary post groups, which is a response to the call and cannot be stopped, as an individual or a department, we must obey the decision of the superior research and obey the organizational arrangement. He told Lu Qingshan that people like Wu Xiuqin, who were transferred to the Hangsan Cotton Factory through the relationship between the family members of the factory and the factory, were the main people who were laid off this time.

Under Wu Xiuqin's hint, Lu Qingshan played the emotional card with Wang's head, since you call him a senior brother, you have to give this face, don't you?

However, Wang Datou did not refuse Lu Qingshan's emotional card, he said that he could lobby the employees of another labor insurance station to take the initiative to lay off, but he also seriously reminded Lu Qingshan that at present, according to the standards for laid-off workers in the documents issued above, Wu Xiuqin's conditions, even if he is not the first batch of laid-off workers, will face the second, or third, or even fourth batch of laid-off workers, and be laid off in batches, which is the factory's policy for the next year, and the interval between batches will only get shorter and shorter. Instead of dragging it behind, it is better to take the initiative to reduce the burden on the factory and strive to be the first batch of models who take the initiative to lay off, so that the cost of buying out the length of service will be a little more, and as the first batch of models, you can also get subsidies from the factory, why not?

He is not alarmist, he took the Hanger Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town as an example, saying that the more laid-off the later batches, the less the cost of buying out the seniority may be, and as for the subsidies in the factory, let alone thinking about it.

When the words came to the heart, he patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder and said, "Brother, I won't hide it from you, my own daughter-in-law is also the first batch of workers who have been laid off from the factory-run canteen, and her name has already been reported. The policies of the factory, and the trends in the factory, you can know more than me, right?

Hearing the news, Lu Qingshan and Wu Xiuqin were shocked.

Wang's daughter-in-law is also the same as Wu Xiuqin's nature, she entered the Hangsan Cotton Factory in the name of her family members in the factory, and the problem of state-owned enterprise establishment has been stuck for so many years and has not been solved, so she has been staying in the factory-run canteen to work.

In the end, Lu Qingshan and his family left Wang Datou's house, and as for those cigarette and alcohol gifts, Wang Datou also resolutely refused to accept them, saying that they were useless. As for the matter of the list report, Wu Xiuqin also said that she should think about it, let Wang's head delay it first, and then give him a clear reply when he goes to work on Monday.

After the two returned from Wang's house in the evening, they went back to the room and discussed for a long time.

The next day, the two of them got up early in the morning and successively found old acquaintances who had known each other in the factory for decades to learn about the situation of layoffs, and even Lu Qingshan's old director in the workshop, they all visited. The information obtained was almost the same, and it was basically nothing more than the restructuring of the three cotton factories, streamlining their organizations, reducing their establishment, diverting and relocating surplus workers, and actively moving closer to the market in production and sales. Once the laid-off criteria are met, they will be included in the list of laid-off personnel one after another, but it is just a matter of sooner or later batches.

According to this, Wang's big head reminded the first batch of employees who took the initiative to be laid off, not to watch people put down dishes, but to take care of old acquaintances.

The two of them were busy all day yesterday before returning home. It's no wonder that after Lu Yuan got up yesterday, he couldn't see his parents, and the old couple went to investigate.

……

After listening to Wu Xiuqin's narration, Lu Yuan asked: "Mom, the first batch of people who took the initiative to be laid off, how much money did they have to buy out by seniority?" ”

Wu Xiuqin said: "Your father and I asked someone yesterday, a few years ago, at the Hanger Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town, a person of my age, as the first batch of laid-off workers, could get about 20,000 yuan. The factory also provided an additional subsidy of 5,000. ”

"According to this, the later the batch, the less compensation you get," Lu Yuan counted with his fingers, and then said, "If you are laid off, you can be laid off, just this money can be saved for retirement, and my father and my salary will be handed over to you at home, and our family can still live a good life." ”

"Your mom, I don't want to retire so early."

Wu Xiuqin shook her head and said, "Mom has thought about it, after being laid off, I will use the money from the buyout of this seniority, do some small business, and be self-employed!" ”

"Ouch? Okay, Mom, you can be so bold! ”

Lu Yuan was immediately impressed by his mother, gave a thumbs up, and then asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wu Xiuqin said: "That night at your Uncle Wang's house, I heard him say that his daughter-in-law's factory-run canteen is also being reformed, and their canteen is the most ruthless reform this time, and it is said that more than half of the idlers will be laid off, and they will all be laid off and reemployed or retired early. After reducing the staff and expenses of the canteen, the factory next has to cancel the breakfast supply in the canteen, and the employees will solve it by themselves. After that, the cafeteria only serves lunch and dinner. ”

Lu Yuan understood a little and said, "Mom, are you going to open an early shop by yourself?" ”

"Yes, once the factory canteen doesn't serve breakfast, then everyone won't eat breakfast?"

Wu Xiuqin raised her eyebrows, folded her fingers, and counted them one by one: "Xiaolong buns, steamed buns, tea eggs, fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu brain, what kind of stuff can't your mother do?" Do you think Mom will do this early shop for self-employment? ”

"It's so done!"

Lu Yuan praised from the bottom of his heart: "Mom, you have grasped this business opportunity too accurately and in a timely manner. However, there are thousands of living areas in our factory, and there will definitely be more than one shop in the future, so the location of this shop must be chosen. ”

"Do you still need to teach this? Wait for you to teach, the daylily is cold! ”

Wu Xiuqin said, leaned down and took the sketch under the coffee table, spread it out on the table, and said: "Look, this is the sketch I drew after I pulled your father on a bicycle in the morning and walked around the living area of the factory. ”

Lu Yuan looked at this sketch, wasn't it the sketch of the life of the three cotton factories that his mother was seriously drawing circles just now? It turned out that they had drawn it after they had gone out for a walk in the morning.

Although the painting is not very good, it is indeed very detailed, and the marks are very clear and careful, even the locations of several public toilets are marked.

Lu Yuan asked: "Let's shop early, where are we going to choose?" ”

"Oh, here!"

Wu Xiuqin pointed to a position on the sketch with her hand and said: "Right here, every time you commute to work, you have to ride a bicycle through here, and the entrance of this store is a large open space, and people can park their bicycles on the edge of the open space, and let your father get some cement and sand on the open space, and when the whole cement floor comes out, you can set up a dozen small tables with small horses and small benches, and no matter how many people come, they can sit down without delaying business." ”

"Great place!"

Lu Yuan approvingly and said with a smile: "I know this place, and I often pass by." ”

His mother chose a place, Lu Yuan is too familiar with it, next door is the prince's barber shop, and next door is Anan Ice Room, and on the boulevard on the side, it is the only way to go from the living area of the three cotton factories to the working area of the factory.

"Hearing you say that, do you also support your mother's laid-off reemployment?" Wu Xiuqin was a little panicked just now, but now that she is chatting with her son, she feels good.

"Of course yes, I raise my hands and feet to support!"

Lu Yuan said: "But Mom, you shouldn't be called laid-off re-employment, you should be called laid-off and re-employed, in the future, when our shop is bigger, we will also invite people, so we will invite the laid-off workers of our factory to help reduce the pressure of laid-off workers and re-employment in the factory." ”

"Bragging! A little early shop also helps the factory solve the pressure! I'll talk about this kind of thing later, now your mother can do it herself, and if she hires someone, she has to spend money to pay her salary, how can I afford such a toss with the money I have to buy out my seniority? ”

Wu Xiuqin said: "Son, you are the most educated in our family, you can come and give your mother a shop name." ”

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Just ask the Lu family to shop early." ”

"Cut, no! I did my own business, why is his surname Lu Qingshan's surname? ”

Wu Xiuqin pursed her lips, snorted, and said slightly angrily: "I'm going to do the business of being self-employed, this old thing had a quarrel with me just now, and went to sleep angrily." ”

Lu Yuan: "......"

Wu Xiuqin proposed: "Tell the old Wu family to shop early, what's the matter?" ”

Well, that's all in the air!

Lu Yuan shook his head, not very good.

This signboard is really hanging up, and Lu Yuan believes that his father must be angry and depressed.

Then he pondered for a moment and said, "Mom, why don't you call happiness shop early?" If you are laid off and re-employed, don't you just want to make our family's life a little happier? ”

"Happiness is laid early?"

Wu Xiuqin read it softly, nodded heavily, and said, "It's so decided, let's call happiness shop early!" ”

Lu Yuan looked at the time, it was past eleven o'clock, yawned, got up and prepared to go back to the room to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to get up early to go to work.

"Son!"

Wu Xiuqin suddenly stopped him and said: "Starting tomorrow, our family's three meals in the morning, lunch and evening will all be changed to steamed buns and soy milk, you must not get tired of eating!" Your mother is going to start practicing this craft of rolling noodles and stuffing and steaming steamed buns in advance. ”

Three meals a day, eat steamed buns and soy milk every day?

Lu Yuan was a little depressed when he heard this, and asked, "Mom, how long do you have to eat this?" ”

Wu Xiuqin said: "Of course, we will eat until our shop officially opens, and in the future, let's eat in the shop!" ”

Lu Yuan: "......"
