Chen Lishu was a little surprised: "How old is she? Why did she quit?"
Zhang Li: "Her eldest daughter happened to graduate this year, and Sister Sun got medical treatment and retired."
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the state had policies to replace them, which not only provided jobs for the educated youth who returned to the city, but also recruited workers for the vacancies in enterprises and institutions.
Many working parents will retire or retire early in order to provide their children with employment opportunities.
"That's just right. Sister Sun has been working for such a long time and has very rich work experience. If you come with me later, why not let her be the team leader."
Sun Min is now home from illness and can concentrate more on making clothes. When Chen Lishu and Zhang Li passed by, she was immersed in making clothes.
"When did you come back?" Sun Min said, getting up and moving stools for the two of them: "Sit down quickly."
Chen Lishu: "I heard from Zhang Li that Sister Sun, you have stepped back, so I came over to take a look."
"Well, the performance of general enterprises is not very good now, especially in our county where there are not many factories. The performance of the garment factory is not bad, and the boss happens to be old enough to recruit workers, so I thought about getting rid of this matter quickly."
After a few more pleasantries, Chen Lishu expressed her thoughts.
"...Sister Sun, I very much recognize your ability, and I want you to be the leader of this team. The scale is not large. Although it is expected to only recruit four or five people, there are a lot of things to worry about. I don't know what you mean?
"
Sun Min smiled heartily and said: "Lishu, you have trusted me, but there is no reason for me to extrapolate. Don't worry, I will definitely treat it as my own family matter and take care of it for you."
Seeing that she agreed, Chen Lishu asked again: "Is there anyone in your factory who is in a similar situation to yours? We are all acquaintances, and it is easier to carry out work."
Sun Min nodded: "I know there are two in our workshop. I will ask them what they mean in a moment. When we retire at our age, we must find ways to make some money to supplement our family. How many of them are as good as me?"
I'm so lucky, the part-time salary before was higher than in the factory, and my husband even said that when the second son reaches age, he will come down and work with me."
After the matter was settled, they came out of Wang's house and asked Zhang Li to go back first. Chen Lishu went to the fruit shop at the corner of the street to buy some fruits, and then transferred to Ding's house.
Ding Yongfeng was away, and only Sun Shuzhen was at home. She was very happy to see Chen Lishu coming.
Not seeing Ding Chen's figure, Chen Lishu asked curiously: "Isn't Ding Chen back yet?"
Ding Chen studied with her for one year, and after graduation, he was assigned to work as a technician in the Water Conservancy Bureau.
Sun Shuzhen sighed: "No, I called yesterday and said that I was doing some research with the team outside. I don't think I can come back until 29."
This is the only child in the family, and she usually goes to school during the winter and summer vacations. Once she gets busy with work, there are fewer days to go home, and they are alone. Now I really regret not having two more children. At least I can usually
Lively and lively.
"I heard from Ding Chen that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It's a pity that it was so cold that you couldn't hold them out for me to cherish. Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday that you were taking the college entrance examination. In a flash, you are now a mother.
"
Sun Shuzhen stood up and went to the cabinet to take out a pair of small silver bracelets wrapped in handkerchiefs: "I prepared them early in the morning. I originally wanted Ding Chen to bring them to you after the Chinese New Year. I'll give them to you directly when you come over."
Chen Lishu took it in her hand and found that the bracelet was very exquisitely made. In addition to the auspicious cloud patterns carved on it, it also had the words "safe and sound every year" written on it.
He put the bracelet into his bag, raised his head and said sincerely: "Thank you, Aunt Sun."
"I like that child Xingping very much, but it's a pity that she hasn't graduated yet. Otherwise, I really want to marry her as soon as possible, and the family will be more lively."
The two of them chatted for a while. Chen Lishu looked at the time and saw that it was almost two o'clock before standing up to leave.
The next day, she went to the department store again and told Nan Haitao about her desire to buy a sewing machine.
"How many do you want?"
Listening to his words, Chen Lishu couldn't help laughing and joking: "It sounds like you can provide me with whatever I ask for."
Looking at her smile, Nan Haitao's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "I'm getting married."
Chen Lishu was stunned for a moment: "Didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Nan Haitao: "Anyway, I'm getting older, and my family is busy."
Chen Lishu: "Have you booked the date? You must treat me to a wedding banquet then."
Nan Haitao nodded: "If we make a decision, I will inform you in advance."
Nan Haitao was very efficient at work. Within two days, he notified Chen Lishu that the sewing machine had arrived. He even sent someone to deliver the sewing machine to the small courtyard where they rented. Chen Lishu directly handed the matter over to Zhang Li.
Time flies to the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming in two days. The last big gathering is held in the village.
"It's the last market before the year. It's not interesting to be at home anyway. Why don't we go together and join in the fun?" Liu Yuemin suggested while having breakfast.
Zhang Qin: "There are still rice cakes to be spread today, so I won't go."
Basically, the family’s New Year’s goods were bought with the money of the third wife and her husband. She knew that the two of them were now better off and didn’t care about the gains and losses, but after all, they had already separated. As the elder sister-in-law, she could do as much as she could.
.
Zhang Xiaoju: "Panpan has been a bit feverish for the past two days. I'm taking care of her at home and I won't go."
She made a suggestion that neither of them would go. Liu Yuemin's face became a little unhappy. She turned to look at Chen Lishu: "Forget it if they don't go. Let's go together. Let me tell you that a new hairdressing shop has opened in the village.
The permed hair looks just like those of the celebrities on TV, and it looks great. Your hair is so long, it will definitely look better with a perm."
Chen Lishu is not interested in perming her hair. She will regret it eleven times out of ten times, and perming can easily damage her hair.
Besides, she had other things to do today, so she refused with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, Liyuan is coming back today, Xingdong and I have to go over there later."
After being rejected again, Liu Yuemin's face became even more ugly.
"It's not the same if you go tomorrow. I think you just don't want to go with me. If you don't want to go, just say so. Or you have to go back to your parents' house, and you don't know what to do?"
Hearing her words, Zhang Qin's face felt a little hot. She opened her mouth but felt that the explanation seemed a bit redundant, so she could only stare at the rice bowl in front of her.
Zhang Xiaoju felt a little uncomfortable, so she replied: "Second sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know that Panpan has been taking medicine for the past two days. I can't leave my child and go shopping with you, right? That would be too heartbreaking.
Big."
Chen Lishu didn't even bother to reply to Liu Yuemin, she just ate how she wanted to eat.
"Why do you have the nerve to tell others that you have to rush to get a perm today? If you don't perm your hair, you won't be able to get through this year, right? Everyone has something to do, so why don't you go by yourself." Li Xiulan lectured rudely.
The whole family is clearly having a good meal, but she insists on making some trouble.
