Return to 90 and start a career - Chapter 435 The wave of layoffs is coming fiercely

“What did mom give you?”

Zhao Yong asked curiously when he saw his wife coming back.

Li Manjun threw two sets of warm clothes on the bed, “Mom bought the warm clothes. We each have one set.”

Zhao Yong was deeply moved. He didn’t expect his mother-in-law to still miss him so much.

But, why does Li Manjun have such a strange expression?

“Did mom tell you something?” Zhao Yong asked funnyly while taking off his warm clothes.

Li Manjun looked at his curious face, suddenly showed a bad smile, and beckoned him to come over and tell him what Wang Xiaojuan said to him.

After Zhao Yong heard this, he looked down at the thermal clothes in his hand in disbelief. So his mother-in-law thought he was not good enough?

“Hahahaha, why are you looking so funny?” Li Manjun couldn’t control his laughter.

Every year a little head emerges from the bed, “Mom, what are you laughing at?”

“Sleep in your bed, kid, don’t ask questions.” Zhao Yong deliberately kept a straight face. As expected, the little girl was so scared that she slipped into the quilt and muttered: “Daddy is a bad guy!”

“Hahaha, no, you’re going to make me laugh to death.” Li Manjun laughed so hard that he couldn’t stand up straight.

Zhao Yong glanced at him with resentful eyes, and Li Manjun restrained himself and asked him to try out the warm clothes to see if they fit him.

Zhao Yong put his warm clothes on the bench next to him: “I won’t try it.”

Seeing that Li Manjun wanted to laugh again, he was afraid that she would think too much, so he explained: “There is no door. It’s inconvenient. Let’s go home and try again.”

The smile in Li Manjun’s eyes still couldn’t go away. The result was that he was held tightly by someone from behind and slept all night. When he woke up in the morning, half of his body was numb.

Nian Nian looked blankly at the concrete ceiling above his head, not knowing when he came from the wooden bed to the concrete floor.

However, with straw under her body, Wang Xiaojuan had thought of her child rolling on the bed early in the morning and made preparations in advance.

I’m still wrapped in a quilt every year, and it’s not cold. But when I open my eyes, my parents are not around, and I feel a little confused.

She obviously sleeps between her parents!

I turned around and saw, oh, it turned out that my parents were on the other side.

Dad said she rolled over on her own.

My mother also said that she got out of bed by herself.

She has a small head and a big confusion every year, and she doesn’t remember it at all.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Langui and Li Lanfang both came back to their parents’ homes. There were many people and many children, and the noise in the house was so loud that everyone’s head was buzzing.

Li Langui said excitedly: “I set up a stall at the highway intersection. I sell some local eggs, local chickens and ducks, and home-grown vegetables. I sell whatever is available in season. Some people actually get out of the car to buy it.”

Moreover, there are more and more people, and it is easy to sell from the beginning, because several villages near Heather Town will pass through there.

She only brought a basketful of things with her at first. Unexpectedly, three waves of people came soon, and everything was sold out in no time.

Of course, it was not all luck that she was able to sell it. If someone came to sell it, the business would not be as good as hers.

She knew that people in the city loved to be clean. The dishes were always washed and muddy, and the chicken coops were cleaned when selling chickens and ducks, so there was no mess.

I also wipe off the chicken poop on the eggs and put them in a homemade bamboo dustpan, so that they look nice and are easy for others to choose from.

When others discovered her little idea, they also wanted to imitate it, which made her worry for a long time.

There was no other way, so she could only make small profits but quick turnover, and always give more tips than others, including an extra handful of green onions and two extra vegetable seedlings.

After a long time, I have a few regular repeat customers who come to buy from her every time.

Later, other people learned that they could make money selling things at this intersection, so many people came in droves and set up seven or eight stalls.

“But I came early. I have a good position and they can’t compete with me.” Li Langui said proudly.

She patted Li Manjun and said, “Manjun, didn’t you tell me about that farmhouse last time? I plan to try it out this spring after planting the rice seedlings. Anyway, my yard is big. If no one comes, I will just renovate the house.”

Li Manjun said in surprise: “This is great. Let me know when it opens and I will bring people to support you!”

“Really?” Li Langui’s eyes lit up.

Li Manjun nodded, “Really, I have many friends. When the time comes, I will bring them over and help you promote it among your friends.”

Li Langui clapped his hands excitedly, “Then I have to do it well, and I have to practice my cooking skills. I hope you will come when the time comes!”

Her husband was sitting silently at the door of the hall. Hearing the movement, he looked up and smiled.

After doing business for more than half a year, people’s ideas have changed a bit. They feel that it is good to make money at home, and they also support Li Langui, otherwise the couple would not have thought of setting up a farmhouse this year.

Li Manjun and Li Lanfang looked at each other silently, feeling happy for Li Langui.

“What about you?” Li Langui got over her excitement and turned the topic to Li Lanfang, patting her belly, “Aren’t you planning to take it?”

Then he went to talk to Zheng Xiaoyou, “You two are almost done. You always say that we are busy in the factory, but we can’t delay this important event in life.”

Li Lanfang looked to Li Manjun for help, help me, I don’t want to be induced!

Li Manjun gave her a helpless look and ran out to play with the children. She was afraid that the trouble would be diverted to herself.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Manjun slipped out of the door, Wang Xiaojuan’s eyes glanced over, but seeing no one, she opened her mouth and suppressed her words.

On the third day of the new year, Li Langui and her sisters had to stay at their parents’ house for one more day, but Li Manjun and his family had to leave.

Wang Xiaojuan also wants to go back to her parents’ home. Li Manjun hasn’t visited her grandparents’ house for two years. She wants to see her this year and pay New Year’s greetings to her.

The uncle’s house was also lively, and both aunts were back.

However, the atmosphere over my aunt Wang Xiaochan’s side was a little weird.

Li Manjun went up to ask and found out that state-owned enterprises were going to lay off workers. The wave of layoffs was coming fiercely, and this time there was no way to avoid it.

However, compared with the north, their situation is relatively good. They can keep one of them, but the leader allows the couple to decide who to keep.

Five years have passed since the real estate crisis in 1992. The couple has no children. In the past five years, they have not had any major expenses, and they have also made some money and saved some money.

Wang Xiaochan thought that it would be a way out for anyone who was laid off to use the money to start a small business.

But it’s really hard to decide who will be laid off.

In terms of positions, the two are almost the same. Their salary is neither higher nor lower. You can’t choose based on salary.

In terms of ability, the two of them are even the same. They have been in state-owned enterprises for a long time, and they are not in technical positions. They have no other means of survival.

After struggling for a long time, Wang Xiaochan decided to let her husband continue to work in the company because Zhang Fuhai had paid five years more pension than her, so it was more cost-effective to stay.

The problem of who stays has been solved, but what small businesses can the laid-off people do? The couple was in trouble again.

My uncle Wang Hanwen said, “How about you open a shop and make hardware with us?”

There are people to guide you, and there are channels. As for sales, just take your time. Working in a hardware store has been quite profitable in the past few years.

Wang Xiaochan’s disgusted expression was directly on her face. She had been refined for half her life and couldn’t stand the dirt and mess of the hardware store.

Wang Hanwen’s face dropped, “Then do whatever you want!”

He’s too lazy to care!
