Women in the past in my life (26-28)

26

The year 2000, an epoch-making millennium, is destined to be the turning point of my destiny. Fairy, the benefit of her hospital is getting worse and worse. Sometimes she won't get paid for months on end. Only 1200 yuan is left in our savings passbook. If this situation continues for a long time, the basic living security will not be maintained. Xiaoxian and I made a big decision, and both husband and wife went to work in the south. At that time, Xiaoxian's second sister taught in Jieyang College, Guangdong Province, and her second sister helped Xiaoxian to get a job and became a nurse in a hospital called Huarong. We gave all the money in the passbook to our father-in-law and entrusted our feelings to our parents-in-law. Xiaoxian and I each carried cowboy backpacks and set foot on the road to work in the south. The night before leaving home, my son wiped his tears while doing his homework. He is in the third grade of primary school. He wrote in his diary: My parents are going to work in Guangzhou. I am reluctant to let them go, but there is nothing I can do, so I have to agree with my parents. Today, every time I think of my son's bald head (we liked to shave it when I was a child), my red eyes are full of helplessness, prayer and disappointment, and I can't help but shed bitter tears.

When Xiaoxian and I arrived at Guangzhou Station, we parted ways. Xiaoxian went to work in Jieyang Huarong Hospital, and I went to Dongguan Houjie to take refuge in Lao Yang. Lao Yang worked as a personnel manager in a hardware factory in houjie town for four or five years, with a monthly salary of 1800 yuan. At that time, it was a high-income group of executives. Lao Yang invited me to the south several times, but I couldn't make it for various reasons. Lao Yang was especially glad to come uninvited this time. He took me to a mobile phone shop first, and spent more than 800 yuan to buy me a Nokia mobile phone, which gave me my own mobile phone for the first time in my life. After living in Lao Yang for a period of time, she couldn't find a suitable job, so she went to Fuyong to find Hu Xinrong, who is the assistant to the general manager of a small paint factory and is responsible for all the affairs of the factory. Because of the sudden arrival, the factory couldn't arrange me for a while, so I stayed for two days and left. Xinrong knows that it is not easy for me to find a job outside. She gave me 300 yuan when she left. It was awkward, but I accepted it. Under the difficult circumstances at that time, it really played a huge role. This kind of warmth in the snow has always warmed my heart. Farewell to Xinrong, I returned to Guangzhou and stayed with Binbin of Guangzhou Ocean University. Go to Guangzhou Southern Talent Market to find a job every day. The southern talent market is located in the bustling area of Tianhe, Guangzhou. There are two recruitment sites, one on the second and third floors of Aipu Building and the other on the sixth and seventh floors of Suning Building. The scale is huge, and more than 500 or 600 companies recruit there every day. There is also a Weber talent market on the seventh floor of Guangzhou Xinhua Bookstore opposite Suning Building. The scale is not small. I have visited these three places for many days, but there is still no result, but I firmly believe that there is always one suitable for me in such a huge market. At my insistence, I was hired by a ceramic machinery factory in Foshan. My position is the administrative director of the human resources department of the company, and my salary is 1300 yuan per month. The main responsibility is to manage the security team, canteen and dormitory. The first time I worked in a modern enterprise, I saw the computer on my desk for the first time. To tell the truth, I still don't know how to turn it on. Sitting in front of me is a girl named Cao Yue. In Xiu Xiu, she is clear-minded and articulate. She's cute. She just graduated from college and works here. She is the assistant to the director of human resources department. She may have seen my embarrassment and taught me some basic computer operations carefully and patiently at the right time. I also bought a book "Introduction to Computer Technology Operation" outside and learned it slowly. If I don't understand, I will ask Cao Yue and practice typing on the computer. I can only choose the five-stroke input method. Because of pinyin typing, my pronunciation is not accurate, and many times I can't type the words I want at all. In order to remember the five-stroke radical table, stick it on the bedside and recite it several times in the morning and evening. After three months, I can basically type simple documents, but the speed is still very slow. Because I have some administrative experience in township work, the company's administrative work is handy, and my work has gradually stabilized.

After Xiaoxian went to Jieyang for her second sister, she waited for half a month to go to work there because Huarong Hospital had not yet opened. Xiaoxian has been engaged in nursing for more than ten years, so she became a head nurse as soon as she entered the hospital. The salary is room and board, and her monthly salary is 800 yuan. At the beginning of work, Xiaoxian's mind was all about our feelings, and he called home once every three days, so that the telephone of the grocery store opposite his father-in-law's house became a hotline, and the grocery store owner was bored to death. I feel suddenly transferred from my parents to my grandparents. There are many unaccustomed things in my life and I often get sick and catch a cold. Mother and son often cry on the phone and cry on the phone.

"Ganzi, mom is not around, you have to listen to your grandparents."

"I don't, I don't, I don't listen."

"Baby, if you have a cold, be sure to let Grandpa take you to the hospital for an injection."

"I won't go for an injection. When you come back, I will go for an injection. "

"Listen to mom, mom really has no choice. Mom has to work outside to make money, buy you delicious food and prepare money for your future study. "

"I don't want to eat, and I don't want to study. I just want my mother back. "

"............." Xiaoxian broke down in tears.

Chen Binlian, a colleague of Xiaoxian in Jieyang Huarong Hospital, jumped to work in a hospital in Guangzhou and wanted to invite Xiaoxian to work in Guangzhou. Xiaoxian called me and asked me to go to this hospital in Guangzhou to see the situation. I think this is a good opportunity. If Xiaoxian can come to Guangzhou, the distance between my husband and wife will be much closer and it will be convenient to meet. I used Sunday to see Chen Binlian. It turns out that this hospital is at the foot of Luoxi Bridge in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. The hospital is medium in scale, with good environment and facilities. Chen Binlian is a native of Hubei, about seven or eight years older than me. She is thin and has a thin mouth. She is kind, enthusiastic and talkative. Since I started to introduce myself, she basically said the rest. She described in detail the situation when she worked with Xiaoxian in Jieyang Huarong Hospital, as well as Xiaoxian's working ability, and then finally told me that the hospital was recruiting nurses, and Xiaoxian must apply these days, otherwise she would miss the opportunity. I reported my investigation to Xiaoxian in time. The next day Xiaoxian came to Guangzhou for an interview. With the guidance and help of Chen Binlian, Xiaoxian successfully passed the interview in the hospital. The salary he talks about is 1200 yuan per month, including room and board, and he is scheduled to officially start work next Monday.

I have worked in Foshan for nearly two years and have a good relationship with my colleagues. My boss also appreciates my ability. In the second year, my salary was increased to 1500 yuan. Xiaoxian went to work after she came to Guangzhou Xie Jia Hospital. Because she has always been diligent and practical, her work has stabilized. In the second year, she was also rated as an excellent nurse in Haizhu District of Guangzhou. At that time, the company assigned me a small single room, and Xiaoxian came to see me in Shishan, Foshan on holiday. We went to Qiandeng Lake and Qiao Shan together, very happy! I also go to Xie Jia Hospital occasionally. There are two people living in Xiaoxian's dormitory. When the other person is not living in the dormitory, just inform me to go to her side. In addition to living expenses and child support to both parents, we still have a little savings, and our lives are getting better and better.

People are always unwilling to satisfy the status quo. The mentality of thinking that your income is considerable has gradually disappeared, and even it is too little. It turns out that the distance from Foshan to Jieyang is too far, and the husband and wife have never met. Nowadays, between Foshan and Guangzhou, I still feel powerless to meet occasionally. I think if I can find a job in Guangzhou, my husband and wife can fly together day and night. With this in mind, I began to take action. Soon I found a job as a magazine editor in Shangchong, two stops away from the foot of Luoxi Bridge, and we are very close. This magazine is an industry magazine under Guangdong Hardware & Electrical Industry Association. The hardware and electrical appliance industry covers a wide range, with 50,000 members. This publication is distributed all over the country and has great influence in the industry. President Zhao is a charming and fashionable middle-aged woman with reddish-brown curly hair, a pair of brown sunglasses and a miniskirt. Bright red Gauguin shoes make her step by step, with the elegance of red-crowned cranes. She is from Jingzhou, Hubei. After reading my resume and works, she was very satisfied. After saying "We still have talents in Hubei Province", she decided to hire me. The monthly salary during the probation period is 2000 yuan, and it will rise to 2300 yuan after the three-month probation period, including meals. I don't think the salary is substantially higher than the previous factory, but I can meet my little salty every day. This salary can't be bought with money. The magazine owner has several self-built buildings in Tuhua. We rush to work during the day and live in Tuhua at night. I was arranged in a suite with three bedrooms and one living room on the fifth floor. There are three people in the suite, each with a room. The living room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony belong to the public domain of three people.

I have a separate room, and Xiaoxian stays with me every night. I bought an electric car, which is convenient for picking up fresh food. Xiaoxian and I are still very frugal, although our economic situation has been greatly improved. Cell phones are pinched. On the issue of picking her up after work, she made an agreement with me, saying that when calling me, don't answer her phone, just listen to the "beep" sound in the mobile phone. If the phone rings and hangs up, let me pick her up at her hospital at once. If the third beep in the phone dies, let me wait for her under the Shangchong overpass. If the phone hangs up at the fifth beep, it means that she has been waiting for me under the Shangchong overpass. This may be ridiculous, but after years of accumulation, this method has really saved us a lot of telephone bills. It's not a shame for ordinary people to live, if they can save. They are quite interesting in life!

I am mainly responsible for writing articles in these columns of magazines, such as Industry Watch, Frontier Trends and People Interview. These things are really easy for me, but although my computer level has been honed for two years, I am still a little at a loss. Typing speed is extremely slow, and I can type an article for half a day. There is a girl named Yuen-Lai Chan at the front desk, from Zhanjiang, Guangdong. She has fine features, a little dark skin, a little sweet smile, and a funny and lovely speech. She often makes fun of me and says, "Editor Liu, you type like a chicken pecking at rice. Watching makes me anxious. " I said, "How can I be like you? My fingers crackled on the keyboard and typed a string of words. Would you please teach me? " Wanli smiled and said, "If you have anything to teach, just practice more. There are idioms solitaire's games in QQ now. When you are free, you will consciously practice typing, and naturally you will get up soon. " I said, "I haven't used QQ or email." Wan Li said, "What's the trouble? I will apply for one for you right away. " Wan Li helped me apply for email and QQ. I have my own QQ and email address for the first time. Every noon, I never take a lunch break. I always play idioms solitaire games with netizens in QQ. This game is very simple. When the other person creates a phrase, you take the last word of the idiom created by the other person as the first word of the idiom you pick up, and so on. Whoever picks up quickly means that the level is high. Such as: the breeze and the bright moon → the full moon crowing → the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven → the happiness of family → the extreme sadness of life → life is worse than death → unwilling to die → all one's wishes come true → the beauty of adults → beauty → freedom of putting and taking → flowers as beautiful as flowers → well proportioned trees → surging ... With my cultural background, this is just a piece of cake, and idioms solitaire is very prestigious among netizens, and I have made some acquaintances. I am interested in practicing typing consciously in this way, and the effect is really obvious. Half a year later, I have passed the computer typing test, and the typing speed has reached 50 words per minute. It's not fast, but it can come in handy. Occasionally go out for magazine interviews, and go to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenyang and other places to participate in the national hardware and electrical exhibition. After all, it's just an industrial magazine. If you go out to participate in the exhibition and take the ordinary train, the room and board expenses shall be controlled within 150 yuan per person per day. I remember that staying in a hotel in Beijing is 80 yuan for a basement room for one night, and staying in a bathhouse for 20 yuan for one night in Chongqing. Sometimes if we can meet our advertisers, attend their new product launches, take photos for them and send out manuscripts, we will be arranged to stay in a five-star hotel.

Every summer after Xiaoxian and I came to Guangzhou, we would take Gan Er to live together for more than a month. Although we gradually get used to living with our grandparents, we are still very happy and excited about coming to Guangzhou to live with our parents. When I feel it, Xiaoxian and I will no longer be frugal. We will buy him all kinds of seasonal fruits and fresh dishes without stint, and we will definitely take him to shopping malls and parks on Sunday. I just didn't have time to accompany him at work and left him alone in the dormitory. Because he has nothing to sleep at home during the day, and when we come back from work at night, his eyes are shining and his spirit is excellent. I drag my mother out shopping every night, and I don't want to come back to sleep late, which makes her exhausted and exhausted before giving up.

Gan er hasn't been to Guangzhou since junior high school. The children of the poor have been in power for a long time. Gan Er seems to be precocious, grown up and sensible, and put his mind on reading and learning.

With the gradual rise of the Internet in China, that is, the emergence and vigorous development of large portals such as Baidu, Tencent of Ma and Alibaba of Ma Yun, the once-beautiful print media has gone from bad to worse. Many large newspapers and magazines closed down almost overnight. At that time, the first central news newspaper, China News, was founded 16 years ago, and its circulation exceeded 65438+ 10,000, which also came to an end. What about Bill? Gates also declared that the print media will disappear from the earth within a few decades.

In this context, of course, our magazine can't escape the bad luck of publishing. At that time, we felt as if all of a sudden, advertisers dropped sharply, and our daily expenses were unsustainable. Many colleagues in the magazine also left their jobs to find another way out. At this time, President Zhao came to me and said, "Now, the situation of the magazine has become like this. The boss said it would close next month. I think it's a pity to give up the magazine completely after more than ten years. I wonder if you can take over the self-financing business in the past? " Because I have had this idea for a long time, I feel that even a small entity should improve its service quality by reducing some human and material expenses and have its living space. So, I replied: "I want to take over, but I don't know if I have the ability to operate." President Zhao said: "I think it's ok." You can write articles without asking an editor or a reporter. You also have part-time contact with advertisers, and most customers get along well with you. You can leave only one or two salesmen you like to help you. " I said, "You are right to consider me, but I still feel uncertain. I don't know if the boss wants me to take over. Are there any conditions? " President Zhao immediately replied: "The boss said that if the publication is closed next month, some advertisers have already paid their advertising fees in advance, and we have not advertised for them. The advertising fee that should be returned like this is more than 30 thousand yuan. Now the magazine can't get its money back. If you take over the magazine, you must pay the boss a deposit of 30 thousand yuan, which is the repayment deposit of the advertiser's advertising fee. You got it? ".After hearing what President Zhao said, my heart was half cold. I think the boss still lacks trust in me. Of course, the boss has his own considerations, and it is not too much to think about it. But when I was asked to take out 30 thousand's deposit, I still didn't want to do it. After a while, I said to President Zhao, "Well, I'll discuss it with my wife." President Zhao also said, "It's all right. Please write back to me after your discussion with your wife. ".

I told Xiaoxian about taking over the magazine. After hearing this, Xiaoxian hesitated and said, "I'm not sure about this either. You'd better make up your mind." When Xiaoxian said this, I knew that she actually expressed her reluctance to let me take over. The next day, I went to the magazine and explained to President Zhao that I didn't want to take over and went through the resignation formalities. In fact, I was three points willing and seven points unwilling. If Xiaoxian strongly supports me, I may take over. Nowadays, the online media is more perfect and developed, but there are still many small print media living well. I really regret missing the opportunity.
