It was a depressing morning.

The pouring rain was accompanied by a rumbling thunder, and the wind kept blowing the umbrellas of pedestrians, and the water accumulated several centimeters high. The disgusting weather seemed to signal something unfortunate.

Although he brought an umbrella, when he came to the company, Chen Zhao's body was already wet.

Fortunately, Chen Zhao didn't mind this, today was the first day of his regularization, he thought that he would have to wait to find Manager Xu to get the required production order, and later Yu Yazhi seemed to have to send newcomers over to arrange work...

"It's been a busy day!" He laughed.

As soon as I walked to the door of the workshop, there was a sudden jingling sound from my mobile phone.

"Hey, Manager Xu." Chen Zhao picked up the phone.

"Chen Zhao..."Manager Xu said in a deep voice, "I just got a notice that you made the wrong goods in the workshop yesterday, and something happened to you!" Now the other party wants to break the contract, and the company will lose money. ”

The sudden call made Chen Zhao stunned, his smile faded instantly, his face turned pale, and he said in a panic, "Manager Xu, isn't it?" I didn't come to the company yesterday, I took a leave of absence, I don't know..."

However, the explanation pales.

The call meant that Manager Xu could not let himself take on this responsibility, and the employees could not bear it, only Chen Zhao, who was in the internship period, was innocently pushed out.

Yes.

Misfortune has arrived.

At 8:20 a.m. on April 17, Chen Zhao, who had just completed his internship, was fired.

...

The umbrella was almost unable to stop the devastating wind and rainstorm, and the sound of crackling like a stone on the umbrella was continuous...

Chen Zhao walked numbly on the street, feeling that it was unfair, he wanted to cry, but fortunately, the hazy fog covered everything, and there were passers-by, but he couldn't see his red eyes.

Chen Zhao is fragile, he is not strong at all.

But at the heart of an 18-year-old, he has worked hard enough.

It's just that when he thought that he was fired now, and the remaining money was only enough for this month's expenses, and there was no follow-up stable income, his barely controllable emotions finally collapsed, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

What about my daughter?

What should Xia Qing do?

What about household expenses?

After asking himself these three questions, Chen Zhao was instantly enveloped in a wave of despair. He didn't dare to go home, he was afraid that Xia Qing who got the news would be disappointed and uncomfortable, he didn't want his wife to borrow money from other men...

"What should I do?" Holding the umbrella, Chen Zhao cried.

...

Or went home.

The rainy day was already cold, and the confused Chen Zhao had nowhere to go, he stood at the door of the house and waited for dozens of minutes in anxiety, and finally Chen Zhao, who couldn't resist the warm temptation of home, wiped away the tears in his eyes and walked in.

Because it was a weekend, her daughter didn't go to class, and Xia Qingzheng was helping Chen Zhao do that part-time job while taking her daughter to read and write.

When Chen Zhao opened the door covered in rain and walked in, Xia Qing was startled, "What's the matter with you?" Is the umbrella broken? Saying that, she couldn't stand up, so she could only pat her daughter hurriedly, "Go get a towel for Dad." ”

Chen Zhao felt guilty and aggrieved in his heart, and he was afraid that he would cry again soon.

"It was raining too hard outside, and the umbrella didn't block it." Facing the warmth of his wife and daughter, Chen Zhao could only smile reluctantly, deliberately stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and also tried to hide his eyes that began to be astringent again.

"It's going to catch a cold." Xia Qing saw that her daughter handed the towel to Chen Zhao, she said worriedly, and asked curiously, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Ahh Because of the heavy rain, the work could not be carried out, and the amount was not much, so I took a holiday. Chen Zhao said, for fear that Xia Qing would not believe it, so he added, "Well, you know, it's the off-season of the shoe factory..."

"That's right." Xia Qing didn't doubt it, she nodded, "Then you quickly wipe it dry and go take a bath." ”

...

Soon, Chen Zhao, who had changed his clothes and warmed his body, calmed down, and his collapse that was oppressed by the cold also eased.

He had been to several nearby companies last month, but none of them had been levied on him, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to find a job on his own. took his mobile phone and sent Yu Yazhi a text message asking if he had any other work, sat down and took the notebook, and waited while working.

In fact, Yu Yazhi was very clear about Chen Zhao's affairs, but she couldn't do anything, she didn't know how to comfort Chen Zhao, and she couldn't help, so she was really embarrassed to call.

After receiving Chen Zhao's text message, she became a little irritable. Except for the typist Chen Zhao, who did not register carefully, he could continue to do it secretly, and it was impossible to recruit him again.

In the end, all she could do was send a text message, "I'll ask my friends from other companies, and I'll call you again if I have any." After that, he turned off his phone.

Yu Yazhi, who had already understood Chen Zhao's family background, leaned back on the sofa, raised her head to look at the ceiling, frowned, and the irritability in her eyes was even worse.

...

The all-night wait didn't wait for anything except to keep intensifying Chen Zhao's panic. It wasn't until the next morning that he received a call from Yu Yazhi.

"Chen Zhao, I'm sorry... My friends, they said there were no jobs and there was a shortage of people. Yu Yazhi's guilty voice made Chen Zhao's heart sink.

Chen Zhao bit his lip, "Is there a worker?" Workers can also do it, 2000 or 3000 a month. ”

"There's not much shortage right now, but I can help you ask." Hearing Chen Zhao's words, Yu Yazhi was a little sad, thought about it, and said, "If you are really short of money and don't have enough money, you can find me, I still have some savings." ”

The call is over.

Chen Zhao leaned against the wall weakly.

He didn't want to borrow any more, he didn't want to add any more pressure to himself, to his family...

What to do?

Didn't work... What to do?

...

Sending his daughter to school early in the morning, Chen Zhao pretended that he was still working and didn't come home.

The company couldn't go, so he decided to look around to see if there was a place to collect workers. There is really no way, he has to make money, he has to come up with money, no matter how hard the work is, he has to do it!

With a bottle of mineral water, Chen Zhao walked from South Street to North Street, which was more than half an hour away from his home, but still did not find a job. A bottle of mineral water had long since been drunk, it was already noon, and the dry throat made him almost unable to walk.

Grabbing his mobile phone, seeing that Yu Yazhi still didn't call, his heart was cold, so he had to continue walking forward.

"This friend, is there any factory or company here that accepts people?" When Chen Zhao walked to a place where he didn't know the way at all, he could only ask someone.

"There seems to be a company over there."

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Ten minutes to the north, there seems to be a factory there, you can go and see it."

The pedestrian tips and directions on the road made Chen Zhao, who was scurrying around, almost forget where he was.

And now it's half past two in the afternoon, and he can't find a job anymore, and he doesn't know how to cover it...

"You go straight for a hundred meters ahead, it seems that there is a construction site, you can go and see it." A man showed Chen Zhao the way.

"Construction site?"

Chen Zhao was stunned, silent in place for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, walked forward for a while, and soon arrived.

This is a construction site, and it looks like a community is going to be built, and this piece of paper is pasted at the gate.

"Recruiting site workers."

"Eat it."

"200 a day."

A few simple scribbled words made Chen Zhao's eyes widen in ecstasy, 200? God, it's only 4000 for a month to work, right? Isn't 30 days 6,000?

"I'm here to apply for a worker, is the management there?" Walking in, Chen Zhao asked a few dark and thin men in front of him who were carrying steel bars and cement around with their shirtless bodies.

"Foreman, someone's coming."

One person shouted, and soon, a fat man wearing a hard hat and sweating walked out of a small building, he walked in front of Chen Zhao, glanced at Chen Zhao, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Zhao on the shoulder, hitting him staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"No, no, no, you're not qualified. What are you kidding, you can move things with your bones? The foreman's face darkened, and he immediately shook his hand.

After looking for a whole day of work, there are almost no companies and factories recruiting people in this season, Chen Zhao is really desperate, he hurriedly grabbed the foreman's hand, and pleaded, "I can do it, I really can, foreman, give me a chance, I still have a wife and children to raise at home, please." ”
