After eating, Shang Xia helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks as usual.

"I'll wash it, you must be tired when you just came back, hurry up and take a shower and rest early." Before she could bring the finished dishes into the pool, Shang Xiaohe reached out and took them.

"Then I'll wipe the table." Shang Xia turned around and took the handkerchief out again.

The dining table at home has been used for many years, and no matter how bad it is, the scratches on it are still faintly visible, and it is a little dirty no matter how you look at it.

Shang Xia really couldn't get used to it, so he wet the handkerchief again and wiped it again.

"Smack!" A crisp sound came from the kitchen.

"Mom? What's wrong? ”

Shang Xia heard the sound and went in, only to see Shang Xiaohe squatting on the ground, reaching out to pick up the debris all over the ground.

It seems that it was not just a bowl that was broken.

"It's okay, I slipped my hand and dropped the stack of bowls."

Shang Xia frowned slightly, Shang Xiaohe had been busy at home and abroad for so many years, and she had never seen her so careless, she was even more sure that the other party must have something on her mind.

"Don't pick it up, be careful and scratch your hand again, I'll go to the broom!"

Shang Xia helped her to do it, and went to the balcony to get a broom.

Chen Yougui, who was watching TV, also heard the movement, and began to scold again, scolding Shang Xiaohe for being a loser, scolding Shang Xiaohe for being useless, scolding himself for having a hard life, what kind of wife did he marry, and he couldn't even do the trivial matter of washing dishes.

Shang Xia's face suddenly sank, no matter what Chen Yougui said about her on weekdays, she could take it as the wind in her ears, but now he even scolded Shang Xiaohe with him, this is not good.

"Xia Xia, did you bring the broom?" Shang Xia was about to open his mouth to refute, when he heard the call from the kitchen, so he temporarily swallowed the words in his heart back into his stomach.

Quickly dealing with the mess in the kitchen, Shang Xia set out to clean the remaining few dishes that had not been broken and set them up.

Shang Xiaohe just sat on the edge of the dining table in a daze, a little absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mom, are you really okay?"

Shang Xia asked tentatively.

No response.

"Mom?" She couldn't help but raise her voice.

Only then did the other party react, looked up at her with a somewhat dull gaze, and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

"I just wanted to ask you, is something wrong?" Shang Xia said seriously.

"It's okay, what can it be? Maybe I've walked too far today, and I'm a little tired, okay, you hurry up and go about your own business, and I'm going to go to bed early. ”

Shang Xia didn't hesitate, turned around and went back to his house.

Sitting at his desk, Shang Xia was making calculations in his heart while turning his pen.

Finally, she had a small vacation, and she had to take advantage of this time to do something.

She took the bag and took out a small purse from the compartment of the bag, which contained a card and some change.

Since the last time she deposited the money into her bank card, she hasn't touched any of the money in it.

As for the change, it was the little pocket money she had saved, looking at the few banknotes and some steel jumps, Shang Xia thought that she would have to go to the stock market tomorrow.

After confirming the dates on the calendar, Shang Xia thought of one thing according to the memory of his previous life: during this time, the stock market was erratic, and it was the time for shareholders to feel difficult.

But she clearly remembers that there are a few stocks that will soar in these days, as long as she pinched accurately enough, she can make a fortune by relying on this small increase period, which is the salary of ordinary workers for a year and a half.

Shang Xia divided the change into a small part and used it as the money for tomorrow's car ride, and folded the rest one by one and stuffed it back into his wallet neatly.

At this time, the sound of the TV came clearly from the door, and the report said that the state had promulgated policies to encourage people to start their own businesses, and which factories had begun to take the lead in laying off workers......

Shang Xia didn't listen too carefully, her attention was all on the stock market, she had to reconfirm in her memory that it was those stocks that soared and hunger, otherwise when the time went wrong, she could only watch her money flow into other people's pockets.

When she reacted, she realized something, it is now ninety-six years, it is the time when the country began to cancel the iron rice bowl, and it used to be possible to work at the university, and the work was assigned by the state, but in ninety-six years, all this was overturned.

It's broken.

Shang Xia chuckled in his heart.

This move is a big deal for ordinary people who have relied on this iron rice bowl to support their families all their lives.

When he experienced this incident in his previous life, it didn't have much impact on Shang Xia, who was still a high school student.

After all, Shang Xiaohe had already let Chen Xi take the job at that time, and as for Chen Xide's iron job, it was not something she had to care about.

And Chen Yougui can be regarded as a small leader in the factory, although this incident has affected him, but it will not reach the extent of being laid off, in comparison, those ordinary employees are not so lucky.

For them, that job is the hope of their lives, representing the scenery on the faces of the whole family, and now it is gone, and no one can be relieved at once.

It is not uncommon for that kind of young couple who work in the factory and are suddenly laid off, just like suffering a thunderbolt from the sky and not thinking of jumping off the building for a while.

Aunt Mei is the one who hasn't slowed down.

Shang Xia twisted his eyebrows, walked out of the door, and saw that Shang Xiaohe had found clothes and was about to take a bath, so he quickly grabbed it and asked anxiously.

"Mom? Did Aunt Mei have an accident? ”

She remembered that Aunt Mei jumped off the building, but as for when she committed suicide by jumping off the building, Shang Xia couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

When Shang Xiaohe heard this, his face sank, "Child, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

After receiving a sentence and a half of reprimands, Shang Xia was not annoyed but a little happy, which showed that Aunt Mei was still alive.

"That's good, that's good......"

She muttered involuntarily.

"Xia Xia, why did you suddenly ask like that?"

Shang Xia didn't answer and asked, "Mom, are you worried about Aunt Mei's layoff?" ”

He didn't say a word, but Shang Xia guessed his thoughts, and Shang Xiaohe's face was a little more shocked.

"How do you know? Who told you that? ”

"Eh, in the TV, hasn't it been broadcasting the country's cancellation of the iron rice bowl? I guessed to myself. ”

was afraid that it would affect her, so she didn't speak, but now that she can't hide it, Shang Xiaohe has no choice but to confess.

"Eh, it's not, I was working well before, and I kicked people out of the factory today. I can't go over and think about it with her, I have found everyone I can find, it is useless to stuff money, cigarettes and alcohol, the people above said, this is the arrangement of the state, and they have no choice.

You also know the situation at Aunt Mei's house, there is a mother-in-law who is sick in bed, and she feeds medicine every day and runs to the clinic for three days, which is not a small expense, and it is precisely because of this that Aunt Mei and his wife have never dared to have children.

Originally, Aunt Mei went to work to receive a salary, and her husband drove a motorcycle to carry passengers on weekdays, so this day was just like this, but unfortunately a few days ago, her husband had a car accident and broke a leg, and now there is another lying down at home, and the job is gone, your Aunt Mei is really difficult! ”

After Shang Xiaohe finished speaking, he shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

Shang Xia was also sad, no wonder, in her previous life, Aunt Mei would jump off the building and die, this day, there is really no hope!

"Mom, you have to go to Aunt Mei's house tomorrow to have a look, this blow is too big, I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it for a while, you see if she needs help, we still have a little bit here, it's okay to lend it out first."

Shang Xiaohe couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded in agreement.

Now that there are layoffs everywhere, it is impossible to find a new job, so I can only appease her and let her slow down first.

……

Early the next morning, Shang Xiaohe bought vegetables early and went to the west of the city.

Shang Xia didn't sleep well that night, so he lay on the bed, hastily cleaned up, and went out with him.

Standing on the side of the road, I thought about taking a taxi, but I stopped a motorcycle behind me.

When he arrived at the destination, Shang Xia stuffed a twenty for someone, and left without saying a word, leaving the confused motorcycle master to call behind.

"Shang Xia?" Just as he was about to buy the stocks, a voice came out from behind him.

Looking back, Huang Biao was sitting on a chair on the side, with half a bun stuffed in his mouth, compared to his identity as the boss of the underworld, the current Huang Biao looks extraordinarily honest, and the tattoos on his body look a little out of harmony.

"Where are you?" Shang Xia put away his wallet and stepped forward to say hello.

"It's not nothing, so it's okay to come and see the situation."

Huang Biao doesn't have any serious work, and since he put all his money in the stock market, he doesn't know where to run except for this.

"How did you get here? Aren't you supposed to be in school? ”

If there was no mistake in his memory, he remembered that Shang Xia had said again and again that the college entrance examination was the most important thing.

"School is out for two weeks."

"So, thinking about getting back to your old business?" After getting acquainted with each other, Huang Biao relaxed his words to Shang Xia.

Shang Xia thought for a moment, leaned closer to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Really?" Hearing this top-secret news, Huang Biao lowered his voice and asked.

Shang Xia: "......"

The look in his eyes seems to say: when did I lie to you.

Huang Biao also realized that his question was meaningless, and touched his nose stupidly.

"So I'm here, if you have any money to spare, you can try."

Huang Biao frowned, touched his pocket, and then remembered that he couldn't make up a hundred in his pocket.

"I'll go out."

Before he could stand up, he forced Shang Xia's question to stop.

"Where are you going? Thinking about getting back to your old job? ”

He can't open his mouth to ask his family for money, so the only possibility is that he will have to regain his status as an older brother and extort money from his students.

Huang Biao was recognized, and his eyes were a little wandering.

"Otherwise, I'll lend you some first, and after a few days of throwing it out, you will pay me back, but as a reward, you have to do me a favor in a few days."

In fact, Shang Xia didn't know what to ask Huang Biao to help.

The reason why I say this is just to make him feel more balanced. You lend me money, and I help you with errands, which sounds like they owe each other.
