Bai Narcissus stood up after listening for a while, stuffed all the newspapers back into the bag, and continued walking into the park.
Not long after, she stood at the door of the nursing home that the two women were talking about. She just casually looked at the sign and didn't stay at the door longer. She continued walking around the park and went back.
When she came to the photo studio, Gong Linglong happened to get the photos and was exchanging photos with the master.
Seeing her coming, Gong Linglong smiled and said, "Mom, all the photos have been developed. They are very good. Come and take a look."
Bai Narcissus looked through them one by one, looked carefully, selected all the photos with her, and put the rest in her daughter's hands, arranging: "The photos are indeed very good, pick some of these in your hand and mail them to mother-in-law."
When she first made the selection, Gong Linglong looked carefully and picked out her mother's photos. Was this because she didn't want people in Kyoto to see her photos?
Gong Linglong vaguely guessed that it must be related to the Gong family's affairs, and nodded seriously: "Okay, I will mail it now."
After leaving the photo studio, the mother and daughter went to the post office, posted the letter and then took the car home.
In the car, Bai Narcissus suddenly said: "Linglong, my wound is completely healed now. I want to come to the city to find a job and earn some money to reduce my family's daily expenses."
"Mom, you have worked hard for nearly twenty years, and now you have finally got rid of your old life. You can take a good rest at home and recuperate. I have graduated from high school. I will find a job to make money. If we have children in the future, we will Please help us take care of the children."
Gong Linglong had already planned to come to the city to find a job in a few days. He never thought about letting his mother go out to work to make money.
"Linglong, I have been very busy in the past 20 years, and I feel very uncomfortable when I am free. I will try to find a job first. If I am lucky enough to find one, I will work first and wait until you are pregnant and have children. , it won’t be too late for me to rearrange it.”
Bai Narcissus had a special plan in mind, but he didn't tell his daughter the truth because he didn't want her to worry.
Gong Linglong thought for a while and respected her arrangement, "Okay, I will look for it after a while. If there is a suitable one, I will go to work."
The mother and daughter discussed this matter, and they both made a tacit agreement not to tell Lu Jingchuan, and planned to tell him after finding a job.
In the next few days, Bai Shuixian went to the city early every day. When asked by neighbors in the family area, Gong Linglong lied to the outside world, claiming that her mother had a head operation some time ago and that she was going to the hospital for medication review these days.
It happened that during this time, the family often boiled traditional Chinese medicine, and the smell of the medicine was very strong, so the neighbors and sisters-in-law didn't think much about it.
Gong Linglong has been busy at home these days. She planted all the vegetables and went to the back mountain to chop firewood for two days. The firewood in the small yard in front was piled higher than hers.
She also takes some time to build fish traps and fish every day. There are small fish and shrimps to eat at home every day, and all the leftovers are smoked into dried fish larvae. There are more and more fish in the space pond, and the fish and piglets are The children are all eating the vegetables grown in the space, and they are growing gratifyingly day by day.
"Linglong, I'm back."
Gong Linglong was cooking in the kitchen. Hearing her mother's voice, she immediately put down the spatula and came out with a smile on her face: "Mom, I thought you wouldn't come back until the afternoon."
Bai Narcissus smiled and told her: "Linglong, I found a job."
"So fast?"
Gong Linglong was slightly surprised and asked quickly: "Are you teaching in school?"
"No, it's hard to find a job in school. The job I looked for today was in a nursing home, and I found it by chance."
Bai Narcissus has actually been wandering outside the nursing home these days and has not gone to look for work elsewhere. She studied Chinese medicine and is proficient in Chinese medicine treatment and massage. The veteran cadres living in the nursing home are not very good at physical health, so she can put these skills to use. Useful.
Today when she went to the park for a walk again, she happened to meet an old cadre who was out for a walk and suddenly fell ill. She rescued him and stabilized his condition easily. Later, she gave him a massage and showed off her hands. In just two days, she He gained the other party's approval within hours.
The veteran cadre learned that she was looking for a job and asked about her family situation. He learned that her son-in-law was the deputy commander of the Seoul Military Region and had no problem with the political review. She had taught in a rural school for seventeen years and recommended her without saying a word. Go work in a nursing home.
Recommended by this veteran cadre, the person in charge of the nursing home met with her and conducted an on-site assessment in person. They found that she was indeed very good at caring for the elderly. She was very kind and gentle in her conversation. The veteran cadres who had received massages from her all praised her skills. Well, doesn't this give her a chance to work?
After she finished talking about today's job search process, Gong Linglong smiled and asked, "Then when will you go to work?"
"I will officially go to work tomorrow. I will come back to pack my luggage and go there tomorrow morning. From now on, I will live in a nursing home. I will have one day off a week and come back on Sunday."
She was very excited to see her mother. The salary in the nursing home was not bad. The people living there were all veteran cadres with status. The work intensity should not be very high. Gong Linglong also felt that the job was not bad and said with a smile: "Okay , then I will send you there tomorrow morning."
Not long after, Lu Jingchuan came back from get off work. During dinner, he heard his mother-in-law talk about work.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me before?"
"You just had the surgery not long ago. The most important thing now is to take care of your body. Don't rush to make money."
"You don't have to think about making money to support your family. My salary allowance is not low, and I have saved a lot of money over the years. It will not be a problem to support you and Linglong. In the future, if the family raises one or two children, they will be able to survive. "
When Lu Jingchuan took her to live in Seoul, he never thought about letting her go out to work and make money. He felt that his mother-in-law had suffered too much over the years and it was time for her to live a more comfortable and stable life.
"Jingchuan, it's one thing to make money to support the family. I've been busy these years and my life is quite fulfilling. But when I'm free, I feel uncomfortable."
"My body has recovered now. You and Linglong don't have children yet. There aren't many housework chores. I don't like chatting with others about home affairs. I'm really not used to being idle at home every day."
"This job in a nursing home is a temporary job. My daily job is to stretch the muscles of the veteran cadres, talk to them, and do some tasks at hand. It's not hard."
"I want to work for a while first. When Linglong becomes pregnant and has a child in the future, I will come back to take care of them after the child is born."
Lu Jingchuan saw that his wife was silent. It was obvious that the mother and daughter had already discussed this matter. She also supported her mother-in-law, so he could only nod: "Okay, mom, go to work first. If the work is not going well or is too hard, you can I can resign and come back at any time.”
"OK."
The son-in-law was filial, and Bai Narcissus accepted his wishes.
