After dinner, Lin Minjun was absolutely not allowed to clean up the dishes. Mother Zhao hurried the two dusty girls to take a bath, lit the coal stove for them, and made the room hot. She left a gap for them to lie down and go to sleep.
But how could she sleep? Lin Minjun tossed and turned in bed, thinking only of what Zhao's mother had just said.
When he turned over again, Zhao Ning opened his eyes.
"Is it because I toss and turn that keeps you awake? I'm sorry, I won't move anymore, you go to sleep." After sitting on the train for several days and nights, everyone would be tired. Lin Minjun was physically exhausted, but she couldn't relax mentally.
She didn't want to sleep as Zhao Ning wanted and immediately lay down.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "It's not your fault. To be honest, I'm used to sleeping on a hard board with a broken mattress on the farm, and I'm still a little uncomfortable when I return home to a soft bed. What about you? Why can't you sleep? Have you thought about what my mother said? Get married or find a job?"
"I won't get married." Lin Minjun said subconsciously.
She had walked this path in her previous life. It was indeed the easiest way to stay in Beicheng, but the twenty-year journey to have a child was too hard! It was so hard that whenever she thought about it, Lin Minjun would get cold all over, and she felt like the steel needle used to extract eggs during the in vitro fertilization process was about to hit her.
In addition, she had a quarrel with Lu Deping this time. She had agreed to get off the train and go there, but she didn't go. The Lu family must be suspicious. If she goes to reconcile with Lu Deping, this road will only be more difficult.
She couldn't have children, and she didn't want to suffer this kind of pain again. She had to live like a decent person in her next life.
Therefore, Lin Minjun ruled out the option of getting married from the beginning. All that was left was to find a job and an accommodation for herself.
Zhao Ning was silent for a while, "My mother said she would help me find a job later, or I can help you keep an eye out and see if you can find a temporary job temporarily. Then you can have an income and maybe even live in the factory dormitory."
If only things were as easy as they say, Lin Minjun curled the corners of her mouth.
At this time, the number of educated youth returning to the city was the largest, and people from all over the country suddenly poured into the capital, all of whom were in urgent need of jobs.
The Youth Educated Office in charge of this matter always had a long queue every day. When there were vacancies, they would definitely give priority to local residents, so how could she, an outsider, get a turn? So she hoped to find a formal job to stay in the capital, but this road was full of difficulties.
Zhao Ning had good intentions, so Lin Minjun didn't want to throw cold water on her. Instead, she asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly helping me like this?"
She bit her lip embarrassedly, "I remember we weren't very familiar with each other before."
"You forgot everything?" Zhao Ning chuckled. "When we first arrived, we didn't know how to work and didn't have enough food, so we had to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. We couldn't tell the difference and almost ate poisonous mushrooms. If you hadn't come over and kicked over the pot, we would have all been in a riot. Later, you took us up the mountain to find food, so we were able to fill our stomachs."
She turned around and looked at Lin Minjun face to face, smiling and saying, "Don't feel burdened. It's not just me. All of us who returned from school miss you. When I got off the train, several people told me to take good care of you. Everyone treats you like their own little sister. Who hasn't eaten the food you cooked and the mushrooms you picked? You are a good person, so we treat you well too. Don't feel bad."
"Am I fine?" Lin Minjun repeated and slowly smiled.
This was the first time she was praised after her rebirth, and it felt very different.
In her previous life, those who surrounded her either said that this woman could not have children, or that this woman was lucky and her family would still want her even if she did not have children.
In short, she is just a hen waiting to give birth to a baby. Everyone praises the Lu family for their benevolence and tolerance.
Now after hearing what Zhao Ning said, Lin Minjun suddenly realized, oh, it turns out that I am so likable at this moment.
Zhao Ning said with certainty, "Yes, you are very good."
Lin Minjun's eyes immediately curved with laughter, and suddenly she remembered something, "Speaking of this, do you think I can set up a stall?"
Zhao Ning: "Set up a stall?"
"Yes, aren't people allowed to start their own businesses now? When I passed by Dazhalan today, I saw many people selling food there. I thought, I don't have to find a job in a factory. After all, there are only so many positions. Why would they hire me instead of local people?" Lin Minjun analyzed slowly, "If I can set up a stall and make money myself, would that also be considered a job, and I wouldn't be a migrant worker?"
"I don't know yet. I'll ask my mom later." Zhao Ning asked again, "What are you going to sell at the stall?"
Lin Minjun didn't have any ideas at first, but when the idea of setting up a stall came up, it was like a flood gate was opened, and her mind became particularly flexible.
"I don't have any other skills, but I'm pretty good at cooking. How about setting up a stall to sell our Yunnan-style snacks or meals?" Lin Minjun added.
Zhao Ning nodded immediately, "That's fine! We were thinking about this before. We won't be able to eat the delicious food you cook when we return to the capital, and we miss the food we had in Yunnan. We feel embarrassed to go to your place for meals every day. If you set up a stall, I'll go there every day."
As she spoke, her tone gradually slowed down. "But doing business requires capital. I still have some salary from Yunnan. How about I lend it to you?"
If you want to set up a stall to sell food, you have to at least buy a kitchen knife, pots and pans, and a coal stove, all of which cost money.
But money is something that you never have enough of. Lin Minjun knew that Zhao Ning was not well-off either. "No, I've already troubled you enough!"
"How about I call everyone over and we can work together to get some money for you. If everyone contributes a little, it won't affect anything. Everyone mentioned this when I got off the train."
"No need. I still have some money in the Lu family. I can just go and get it back." Lin Minjun thought of her way out, and her mind suddenly relaxed. She turned over and lay on the bed, feeling sleepy, waiting to fall asleep in a daze.
Lin Minjun lay on her side on the bed with her eyes half closed. She was still thinking in a daze, she didn't expect that Zhao Ning looked cold on the surface, but was actually so enthusiastic. He took her home and wanted to lend a hand to help her build her business. This friend is worth making!
The enthusiastic Zhao Ning was still not sleepy. He turned over again, patted Lin Minjun's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Although I don't know what happened between you and Deping, and why you broke up, I have to tell you that if you marry Deping, your life will be difficult. We know each other. The Lu family is a high-class family, and it is not easy to get married. Deping's mother is not easy to get along with. Hmm? Little Jun, did you hear that? Are you asleep?"
Lin Minjun was snoring and fell into a dream without any interest when she heard Lu Deping's name.
Have a good sleep and go to Lu’s house to ask for money early tomorrow morning!
Eat my food and spit it out.
