Chapter 87 Song Jinfeng sells his job
After the child was one month old, it was time for Song Jinfeng to return to work in the street office.
But neither Song Jinfeng nor He Yuzhu had parents to help take care of their children. Only the mistress comes to He Yuzhu's house every day to help the two new parents take care of the children.
That night, after dinner, Song Jinfeng put Xiaoping to sleep. Watching Xiao Ping An's little mouth licking while he was sleeping soundly. Song Jinfeng looked at the child with eyes full of reluctance.
After He Yuzhu washed up, he walked into the bedroom and saw Song Jinfeng looking at the child in a daze.
"What's wrong? Why are you so dazed?"
"I'm not thinking, what will happen to my children when I go to work in a few days? I can't take my children to work, right?"
"This is a problem. The street office is so busy now. Even if you take your children to work, you can't take care of them."
"Yes, it's okay to take your children to work for a day or two, but it will be annoying if it takes a long time."
"How about you stop working now and wait until the children are older? I can support you."
"This is the only way. I won't be able to go to work in the next two years. Let's talk to Aunt Zhou in the next few days and see what we can do."
"Okay, wait for me to rest, and I'll go find Aunt Zhou with you."
A few days later, He Yuzhu was resting and, as agreed with Song Jinfeng before, he and Song Jinfeng were going to go to the street office to find Aunt Zhou.
He Yuzhu said hello to the teacher's wife who was taking care of the children: "Master's wife, Jinfeng and I will go to Jinfeng's workplace later."
Wife: "Okay, you go, I'm at home."
He Yuzhu: "Then let's go."
Wife: "Go."
Arriving at the subdistrict office, Song Jinfeng greeted his colleagues one by one.
Colleague: "Jinfeng, you are back. We have been very busy recently. Are you going back to work?"
Song Jinfeng: "We are here to see Director Zhou today."
Colleague: "Director Zhou just came back from outside and is in the office."
Song Jinfeng: "Okay, let's go find Director Zhou first, and then we'll talk when we get out."
Song Jinfeng took He Yuzhu into Director Zhou's office.
Director Zhou: "Zhuzi, Jinfeng is your young couple. Where is Ping An?"
Song Jinfeng: "Ping'an is at home, Zhuzi's wife is watching over him."
Director Zhou: "Why did you come here today?"
Song Jinfeng: "Aunt Zhou, I came here today for work."
Director Zhou: "What are you doing at work? You can just rest for two more days and then come back to work."
Song Jinfeng: "Aunt Zhou, I'm here to tell you that I can't do this job anymore."
Director Zhou: "Why can't I do it anymore? Did something happen?"
Song Jinfeng: "No, I gave birth to a child and there is no one to take care of me. I have to take care of the child at home."
Director Zhou: "It's true. You and Zhu Zhu don't have parents to help take care of your children."
Song Jinfeng: "So, Aunt Zhou. I can't go to work now. I want to ask Aunt Zhou to help transfer the job."
Clerks at the subdistrict office are also in high demand. Not only do they cost money, but they also need to have connections. By selling jobs for Song Jinfeng, Director Zhou won't offend anyone and can earn favors.
Director Zhou: "Okay, let me contact you. Our street office is very popular."
Song Jinfeng: "That's troublesome, Aunt Zhou. Zhu Zhu and I will leave first."
Director Zhou: "You kid, don't worry about it. I'm still polite to your Aunt Zhou. I'll go check on you in a few days."
Song Jinfeng: "Then I'll wait for Aunt Zhou at home."
Song Jinfeng took He Yuzhu and said hello to his colleagues again before leaving the neighborhood office.
When I got home, my wife was changing little Ping An's diaper.
Song Jinfeng: "Master Wife, let me do it."
Wife: "Now it's changed. Give the diaper to Zhu Zhu and let him wash it."
He Yuzhu walked in, took over the diaper, and went to wash the diaper.
Wife: "What are you doing? You're back so soon."
Song Jinfeng: "I didn't do anything. I just sold my job and stopped working."
Wife: "You have such a good job, why did you sell it?"
Song Jinfeng: "Isn't it necessary to take care of the child? When I go to work, no one will take care of him."
Wife: "Why is there no one around? Can't I babysit your child?"
Song Jinfeng: "Master's wife, you are too tired by yourself. Let's take it easy with the two of us."
Wife: "You just sold your job without consulting us. Why don't you just take a long vacation and wait until the children grow up before going back to work?"
Song Jinfeng: "Oh, Master, I've sold everything, so don't talk about us."
Wife: "You guys, forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything."
After waiting for a few more days, Director Zhou came to the door.
Song Jinfeng and his wife were taking care of Xiaoping at home that day. I heard someone knocking on the door.
Song Jinfeng: "Master's wife, there's a knock on the door. I'll go take a look."
Wife: "You go ahead. I'll just make sure it's safe."
Song Jinfeng opened the courtyard door and saw Director Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, you are here, come in quickly."
Song Jinfeng led Director Zhou into the living room.
Director Zhou: "Where is the child? Take me to see him."
Song Jinfeng: "The child is in the house. Come with me."
Song Jinfeng took Director Zhou to see the child.
The mistress saw Song Jinfeng leading Director Zhou in: "Ah, it's Director Zhou."
Director Zhou: "I'm here to see the child."
Director Zhou saw Xiao Pingan on the bed, kicking his legs vigorously: "Oh, the little guy is so energetic."
After teasing the children, Director Zhou followed Song Jinfeng back to the living room.
Song Jinfeng poured a glass of water for Director Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, drink water."
Director Zhou: "Jinfeng, I sold the job for you. It cost 500 yuan. Do you think you will be free to go to the street to go through the formalities someday?"
Song Jinfeng: "Sold so many?"
Director Zhou: "Not much. Don't even look at the price of food on the black market now."
Song Jinfeng: "Thank you Aunt Zhou. I'll go tomorrow. If it's done early, I can take care of the child with peace of mind."
Director Zhou: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the office tomorrow."
When He Yuzhu came back in the evening, Song Jinfeng told He Yuzhu that the job had been sold.
He Yuzhu: "Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?"
Song Jinfeng: "No, Aunt Zhou is here. Besides, I just go and sign a few words. I won't meet the other party."
He Yuzhu: "Okay then."
The next day, Song Jinfeng came to the street office.
Colleague: "Jinfeng, why did you sell your job so quietly?"
Song Jinfeng: "I have no choice. I just gave birth to a child and there is no one to take care of me. I have no choice but to quit and go home to take care of the child."
Colleague: "Then you can come and play with us when you have time."
Song Jinfeng: "Okay. I'll go find the director first and complete the procedures."
Came to Director Zhou's office.
Director Zhou: "Here is the money, you count it. Then you just sign here."
Song Jinfeng took the money and counted it exactly: "The money is counted correctly."
Director Zhou: "Then sign it."
Song Jinfeng signed in a swish voice: "That's it."
Director Zhou: "Okay, you don't need to worry about the rest."
Director Zhou took out two more cans of milk powder from the drawer: "Take this milk powder back."
Song Jinfeng: "This won't work. Aunt Zhou."
Director Zhou: "This is for Ping An. If you want to treat me as your aunt, just take it and be obedient."
Song Jinfeng couldn't take it off, so she had to take it.
