Chapter 250 Rejection of Director Pei
"Director Pei, please come in." Lin Xia welcomed Director Pei in, still wondering why she came.
Director Pei entered the house and found that there were great changes. It was still as warm as before, but the house had become a little more crowded with many more children's things.
"What is this?" Director Pei looked at what looked like a fence. There were two little guys sitting inside, looking at her with their big eyes wide open and full of curiosity.
"Surround them so they can move around and crawl freely." Lin Xia explained while pouring water.
Director Pei looked around and found that it was indeed much cleaner this way, but it was also a real setting. If she was not mistaken, the blanket on the floor was not cheap, but she was willing to take it out to make it for the child and was not afraid that the child would urinate on it.
"Your method is good." Children love to crawl on the floor. If they are left on the bed without supervision, they will fall, but if they are left on the floor, they will become dirty.
"Director, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Xia put down her water cup and sat opposite her.
Director Pei looked Lin Xia up and down. Seeing that she was just asking questions, he was neither nervous nor surprised. He made sure that she had not heard the news in advance.
"I'm here today to invite you to work in the Women's Federation." Director Pei took a sip of the water and looked at Lin Xia's expression to see how she would react.
Lin Xia frowned slightly when she heard this. If the two little ones could walk and run, she would definitely be willing.
But if she goes to work, what will happen to the two little ones? And An An has just started elementary school, and she doesn't need to pick him up to go to school, but there is lunch and study after returning home. If she really goes to work, she will definitely neglect a lot of things.
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Pei, but as you can see, this may not be very convenient for me." Lin Xia refused with a smile. The timing was still a bit wrong. She should wait until the child is older and at least can speak.
"You really won't consider it again?" Director Pei frowned slightly. Working in the Women's Federation was a job that many military wives wanted to apply for. This was the first time she saw someone refuse without hesitation.
"I've really thought about it. It's impossible for me to say that I don't want to do it, but the two children are still young, and An An has just started elementary school. Sometimes Lu Yuxiu is not at home, and if I go to work, the house will be a mess." Lin Xia could hear the unhappy tone in Director Pei's voice. It was really a great honor for her as a director to take the initiative to ask for his help.
Director Pei felt less uncomfortable after hearing this. She thought Lin Xia had no intention of working at all.
"The child can be sent to the red education class, and the elementary school also provides lunch. I don't think these are a problem." Director Pei still wanted to fight for it.
The main reason is that there are not many military wives who can read and write. Most of them come from rural areas, and there are not many literate girls in the city who are willing to follow the army to this place.
Lin Xiazheng felt that it was unnecessary. Lu Yuxiu's salary was more than enough for them. It would be used up after the tickets were issued, and they could still save a lot from their monthly salary. She didn't want to neglect her family for the little money she earned from work.
If there was not enough money at home, she might go.
"Director Pei, the main task of us military wives to come and join the army is to take care of the family, so that they can feel at ease on the front line. If the child was older, I would definitely agree, but now I still want to raise the child myself." Lin Xia could only say what was in her heart, and half of what she said was true and the other half was an excuse.
Director Pei really didn't expect her to say that, but he couldn't say she was wrong. After all, this was the original reason the army gave him the right to accompany the troops.
But she thought Lin Xia was an educated girl from the city, and her thoughts must be different from those of an uneducated girl.
"Okay, you take a few more days to think about it. If you change your mind, come and find me." Director Pei didn't want to keep him any longer, but thinking that he had been recruiting for so long and hadn't found anyone, he still wanted to keep him.
"Thank you, Director. I will consider it carefully." Lin Xia responded politely when she heard her say that.
No matter what, Lin Xia was still very grateful that she remembered this.
There are still several years left, and if she could find a job to kill time, she would be willing to do so. It can only be said that not everything can be planned so well, but she has no regrets in her heart.
Perhaps the most important thing is that she is not short of money.
During dinner in the evening, Lin Xia mentioned this matter to Lu Yuxiu.
Lu Yuxiu paused his eating chopsticks and looked at Lin Xia picking up food for the child. He remembered that she had also studied for so many years and now she finally had a chance to work. She should be feeling regretful, right?
"Do you want to go?" If she really wants to go, then find someone to take care of the child so that she doesn't have to worry about home.
Noticing that Lu Yuxiu seemed to have something to say, Lin Xia looked over and asked, "Do you want me to go?"
To be honest, he didn't want to. His salary was enough to support his family. Since he was promoted to deputy regiment commander, his allowance had increased a bit, and sometimes he received subsidies when he went on missions. His family was not short of money.
But he felt that Lin Xia might want to go to work.
"I want to hear the truth!" Lin Xia was also afraid that he would always think about his own thoughts, so she looked into his eyes to see every thought.
"I don't want my mother to go to work!" An An suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Lin Xia looked at the little girl, very curious about her thoughts.
"If mommy goes to work, there will be no one to play with me! No one can tell me stories! No one can be with my younger brothers and sisters." The little guy argued confidently, and he had many reasons.
"Then mom can earn money at work, so I can buy you meat and toys. Isn't that good?"
The little guy's eyes lit up when he heard that he could eat meat, but he wanted to eat meat and didn't want Lin Xia to go to work. He turned his eyes to Lu Yuxiu and said, "Let Dad go!"
"......" Although he didn't want Lin Xia to go to work, why did he feel so hurt when he heard An An's words?
"It's too hard for Dad to make money alone. If Mom also makes money, we will have a lot of money." Lin Xia was happy to hear this and then asked tentatively.
"I don't need a lot of money!" An An shook her head and looked at Lin Xia eagerly, "I can eat less meat, Mom, you don't have to go to work!"
There was a classmate in their class whose family conditions were quite good. Her father was a worker, but her mother was a ticket seller on a ship. She went out early and came back late every day, so the child had to find someone to help take care of her. When she returned home, she had to eat dinner at someone else's house.
Although I gave money, other people's homes are not as comfortable as my own. I have to eat whatever is available. If I come across something I don't like, I can't be picky. After all, if I don't eat it, I will just starve. I went hungry many times for this reason.
"Yeah, I won't go." Lin Xia agreed softly.
Lu Yuxiu lowered his head to eat, a thoughtful look flashing across his deep eyes.
