When Zhou Shichu returned home, Jiang Zhuyin was in the room worrying about which company to submit her resume to. She had only studied in college for three years and had not graduated at all. Where could she find a good job? You can only look for positions one by one and apply to whichever company is suitable.
"Mom, are you back? Mom... Mom?" Jiang Zhuyin went out to the living room and saw Zhou Shichu, who seemed to be a different person. He was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly, "You, how did you become like this?"
Zhou Shichu said: "Isn't it bad to be like this? I used to be too slovenly and listless. When I went to resign, my employer told me that a person's mental outlook can also affect mental and physical health. He asked me to try Maintain a good attitude. Only when you are in a good mood will you live well, so I decided to change myself. What do you think?"
Zhou Shichu said this, how could Jiang Zhuyin have any objections? If he had any objections, wouldn't it mean that he didn't want his mother to live well? So she said happily: "That's great, Mom. I'm so happy for you to see such a change in you. You should have been kinder to yourself a long time ago."
"You're right, I should really be kind to myself. In the past, it was because you were not yet an adult, so I had to work harder, but now that you are already an adult and are about to have your own child, I can finally take it off my shoulders. You have to bear the burden and treat yourself well... Zhuyin, I am so happy that you have grown up now." Zhou Shichu's words were very beautiful, and Jiang Zhuyin was deeply moved after hearing this. He felt that it was because of him that his mother could only live in the past. It was so difficult, and for a moment, she was moved and ashamed.
She has not yet realized the implicit meaning of Zhou Shichu's words. Only when Zhou Shichu no longer takes care of her and puts her needs first will she realize belatedly that "growing up" and "necessary" What exactly does it mean to “take responsibility for yourself”.
Zhou Shichu later bought some medicinal materials, mixed them with other medicinal materials in his own space, prescribed medicine for himself to condition his body, and prepared some skin care products to start taking care of his appearance.
So when Jiang Zhuyin was at home, he could see Zhou Shichu either drinking medicine or applying facial mask and skin care products, becoming lazy and leisurely.
Jiang Zhuyin felt very unaccustomed and uncomfortable at first, because in her impression, her mother had never been so leisurely. She used to be so busy every day, either going out to work or doing housework at home, as busy as a spinning top. All the same, there is no idle moment.
But Jiang Zhuyin soon became ashamed. She felt that her mother had worked hard for decades and now she finally had some free time. She should feel happy instead of not getting used to it.
Zhou Shichu can safely enjoy his free time to recuperate, but as an unmarried mother who is about to have a child, Jiang Zhuyin cannot be as leisurely as she is. She has to be busy looking for a job, but it is not so easy to find a job now, not to mention that she still has She had no academic qualifications, no background, and no special skills, so even though she submitted many resumes, she was only interviewed by a few companies.
Even so, she couldn't give up any opportunity, so she went for interviews, but the result was obvious that all the interviews failed.
The money in his hand was getting less and less, but he still couldn't find a job. Even a gentle and considerate person like Jiang Zhuyin began to become irritable and anxious. The solemnity and worry on his face became more and more obvious, and he even lost some weight.
Zhou Shichu did not interfere with her work. Since she decided to withdraw her children from school, she should face society alone and accept the beatings given by society.
Jiang Zhuyin obviously never thought that finding a job would be such a difficult thing. It was not difficult for her to find a part-time job in school before, because there were a lot of part-time job information on the school forum. But after she dropped out of school and left school, she wanted to find a job. It is difficult to get a job close to home with less money. Of course, there is information about part-time jobs in the society, but she needs a full-time job now. The hourly wages of part-time jobs are too low and there is no way to support herself and her family. child.
"Mom, it's so hard to find a job." When Jiang Zhuyin came back from the interview again with heavy steps, he said sadly to Zhou Shichu, who was happily mixing facial mask mud.
While Zhou Shichu was doing the work at hand, he nodded absently and said, "Yes, it is difficult to find a job, but I thought you were mentally prepared. After all, you dropped out of school so resolutely and decided to have children out of wedlock without hesitation. "
Jiang Zhuyin suddenly choked. She lowered her eyes. She couldn't tell her mother that she was really not mentally prepared for the current situation. She didn't know that she would face so many difficulties raising a child alone.
She really wanted her mother to help her, but she couldn't speak because her mother had long advised her to abort the child and not drop out of school, but she refused, and her mother was not in good health. She couldn't help her mother, so what? How can it be a drag on my mother?
Jiang Zhuyin, who had been severely beaten by society during this period, was silent for a while. When he saw the facial mask mud that Zhou Shichu was stirring, he asked doubtfully: "Mom, why didn't I know that you can prepare these things?"
Zhou Shichu paused and quickly replied: "I used to work as a nanny in a biochemistry researcher's home. She knew how to do this by herself, and she naturally learned it while I was helping."
Jiang Zhuyin had no doubts: "So that's it. No wonder Mom, your skin has gotten much better recently. It seems that the skin care products you mixed yourself are quite effective."
"Of course, this has been verified by professionals." Zhou Shichu said without blushing, and that professional was herself.
Jiang Zhuyin looked at the rhythmic movements of her hands, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She immediately said to Zhou Shichu excitedly: "Mom, since the skin care products you make are so effective, why don't we make some ourselves?" Come and sell it? Or start your own company..."
Jiang Zhuyin became more and more excited as she talked, her face turned red with excitement, as if she saw countless money flying towards her.
"No, the formulas of these skin care products are patented by others. We can only make them ourselves and use them. They cannot be used commercially for profit. Otherwise, it will be illegal and will be prosecuted." Zhou Shichu said calmly, and directly smashed Jiang Zhuyin's reply. An unfulfilled dream of getting rich.
Jiang Zhuyin suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and her boiling blood was immediately cooled down. In the end, she just said: "So that's how it is..."
She went back to her room dejectedly and said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to continue submitting my resume."
"Okay, go ahead, come on, keep working hard." Zhou Shichu said to her with a smile, just like any good mother who always supports and encourages her children.
