Chapter 18: Finding a job

In the reform of the enterprise system, Fang Ming was the first person to make sacrifices, in the reduction of enterprise personnel, Fang Ming was the first person to be laid off, and in the battle for power between the two factions, Fang Ming was the first person to be shot while lying down.

As the saying goes: a gun shoots a bird. Fang Ming does not fight for fame or profit, he shrinks his head everywhere, and is determined to be just a common man. However, his talent is outstanding. Although he himself has not come out, his influence is far more than that of the "emerging bird". So, he had to be shot. The first one was laid off and retired. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to use, and this sentence has been verified by Fang Ming.

The onlookers all saw that in the unit, Fang Ming was treated unfairly, and they all wanted to complain for him. But he himself was submissive, and did not say a word of complaint. Because he understands very well that in front of the enterprise, everyone is weak. Since the decision-makers can cut you in, there is no reason to stop. You don't have a chance to get back.

At home, for laid-off, the mother-in-law is sarcastic and sarcastic all the time. This made Fang Ming very faceless, and it also seriously hurt Bai Ling's self-esteem.

Hitler believed that "a rumor becomes truth when it is repeated a thousand times." And this creed unconsciously worked on his wife Bai Ling.

Bai Ling, the wife of the known as White Peony, was also a little dizzy under the influence of her mother finding fault with everything and getting over with Fang Ming everywhere. She also began to complain about her husband's incompetence, her language was harsh, and every sentence was like a dagger, piercing Fang Ming's heart.

Fang Ming never argued. He was reluctant to bring this silent pain to his wife again. The pain in the heart can sometimes only be understood but cannot be spoken, and words often cannot fully express the actual pain in a person's heart, which is called life.

Two people who really know how to live are united, considerate and understanding, and are their bond. They do not envy the affluent life of others, but only satisfy themselves to be able to enjoy every share of happiness and hardship together.

In order to get a new job. Fang Ming began to run the talent market, visit labor agencies, and go deep into the employing units to conduct investigations. They often leave early in the morning and come home late. I often forget to eat lunch.

Fang Ming has delivered newspapers, milk, and bookstalls......

It is difficult for young people to find employment, which is a common problem in society. A little older, it will be more difficult to find employment. Like Fang Ming, a person in his fifties, the difficulty of finding a job can be imagined.

The trinity of ideal jobs, generous treatment, and a happy family is the goal pursued by young people. People of Fang Ming's age are content with just a job with an income.

Remote, backward and inconvenient areas are also areas with a relative shortage of talents. If you have a skill, you can make a difference.

Fang Ming finally contacted a private company. It is more than 200 miles away from home. Middle-aged couples are about to start a new Cowherd and Weaver Girl life.

Fang Ming pushed open the door with trepidation. Seeing that dinner was not ready, I immediately went straight to the kitchen.

While serving the meal, Fang Ming said to his wife Bai Ling: "Ling, I have found a job......

"Wow." When Bai Ling heard this, her face was full of excitement.

"It's far away, it's more than 200 miles away from home, and it's inconvenient to go home."

"Two hundred miles, not far." Bai Ling immediately interjected. Later, Fang Ming said something, but Bai Ling didn't hear it.

"Then I'll go to work early tomorrow morning and leave."

"Good, good! Work a day in the morning and earn a day's money early. Bai Ling was completely immersed in the excitement of Fang Ming finding a job.

Fang Ming, who was used to gobbling up food. The meal was eaten slowly, slowly. Bai Ling didn't pay attention to Fang Ming's change at all, and still pushed her rice bowl as in the past and said, "I'll go downstairs for activities......

Bai Ling has always been like this since she retired, every morning and evening, she has to go downstairs for a walk, take a walk, and then jump into the ranks of square dancers. In order to dance well in the square, she also has to participate in many learning and performance activities, and Bai Ling is sometimes more nervous than going to work. These many housework fell on Fang Ming.

Bai Ling came back from the square dance outside, and it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and she saw Fang Ming sorting out his outfits. She didn't lean in on her, nor did she ask what she needed to bring. I just washed my face and said, "I'm too tired, let's go to bed first." As she spoke, she walked into the room where she lived with her mother.

This night, Bai Ling slept soundly. As soon as I opened my eyes, the sky was bright. She heard Fang Ming cooking breakfast in the kitchen. When she and her mother got up, Fang Ming had already put breakfast on the table. She glanced at her husband, Fang Ming seemed to be as tired as he had been on a night shift, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.

Bai Ling's brain seemed to have lost power, and she was extremely numb. She didn't say a word of concern or ask the reason for the problem. They turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.

After eating breakfast and washing the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Mingcai carried his simple bag and said, "I'm leaving." ”

Bai Ling, who was mopping the floor, said, "Let's go." ”

She didn't stop her hand, and her reply was very flat, just raising her eyelids. There were no words of advice, and there was no sense of unease, Fang Ming had something in her hand, she didn't pay attention to it at all, as if Fang Ming was just going downstairs to pick up an email. And Bai Ling's mother didn't say a word, she sat on the sofa and only watched her TV.

Fang Ming gently closed the security door. The sound of slow footsteps faded down the stairs.
