Not long after Shen Mang sat down in the office, she received a call from the factory looking for her. The caller's name was Gu Qinglin.
She was a little puzzled. He had only been away for two or three days and probably hadn't arrived at the unit yet. He should still be on the train. Why did he call her?
For some reason, Shen Man had a bad feeling. She quickly ran over to answer the phone. "Hello?"
The other end of the phone.
Gu Qinglin was silent for a moment when he heard the familiar voice, but finally he said, "Shen Man, Xiao Bei has gone home."
Shen Man's mind went blank for a moment and her ears began to ring.
She held the phone tightly, "What did you say? Xiaobei went back?"
"Well, Xiaobei went back, on the same train yesterday." Gu Qinglin took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty.
"No, it's impossible, Gu Qinglin, you are not lying, are you?"
"How could Xiaobei go back so suddenly? I haven't even seen you for the last time, why did you go back?"
Shen Man's face turned slightly pale, and she shook her head desperately, her eyes red.
The last time they left, she planned to go see Xiaobei, but she didn't.
I thought it was just a simple separation and we would see each other again in a month or two, but I didn't expect him to go back suddenly.
Gu Qinglin's breathing paused, but she still managed to stop herself from continuing her fantasy.
If possible, ๋ also hopes that the child will not leave. Unfortunately, this time the child disappeared while nestling in ๋'s arms.
Everything seemed like a dream. There was no farewell at all. I just watched Xiaobei disappear in my arms.
Perhaps our intuition was right the first few times, and Xiaobei did leave.
Shen Man was feeling depressed, with her emotions fluctuating constantly. After listening to Gu Qinglin's general explanation of what happened, she hung up the phone and returned to her workstation.
On the surface, it seems that nothing has happened, but in fact everything has happened.
On the other side, Gu Qinglin, whose phone was hung up, pursed his lips, and was very worried about Shen Man's condition.
But now I'm already halfway back to the troops, and I have no way of knowing the other party's situation.
So he made a phone call to the supply and marketing cooperative where Yang Fang worked and told her that Xiaobei had returned to his biological parents and would not be with them anymore.
"Aunt Fang, Manman likes Xiaobei very much. I just told her about it. She might be in a bad mood right now. Please keep an eye on her. I'll call you back as soon as I get back to the army."
"Qinglin, you should go back to the army first. Manman is with me. I will take good care of her. Don't worry."
After Yang Fang hung up the phone, she felt extremely confused for a moment.
I donโt know whether I should be happy or sad.
Xiao Bei's child was indeed very well-behaved and lovable, but after all, he was not her daughter's biological child.
In the future, Qinglin and Manman will have children. It will be a big problem whether they can treat their adopted children and their biological children equally.
Perhaps, the best option is for the child to return to his biological parents.
However, Manman's feelings for the child were indeed quite deep, so it was normal that she couldn't accept it for a while. After a few days, she would figure it out.
The other side.
Shen Man thought about it for a whole day, from the morning shift to the afternoon shift, and she did figure out some things.
Although he was still sad and reluctant to leave, for Xiaobei, returning to the familiar place was the best choice.
There, you will have parents who love you, a lovely sister, and parents who like you.
You can even call mom whenever you want, without worrying about being heard by others, let alone in front of others.
It's one thing to be able to figure it out, but it's another thing that Shen Man is still in a depressed mood.
After all, in the past few months, she really treated Xiaobei as her own child born after ten months of pregnancy.
How can this feeling just disappear?
An hour before getting off work, Sister Li personally found Shen Man, called her to a corner without any rules, and then played a direct line to her.
After spending these days together, she finally understood that Shen Man would rather be treated softly than harshly. If you use force against her, she can be tougher than you.
So she slowed down her tone and said, "Xiao Shen, this is what's going on. Aren't you already engaged to your soldier boyfriend? Does that mean you'll be joining the army soon?"
"Before joining the army, how did you handle your work?"
"No, you name a price and see how much is suitable. I'll give you this position. It just so happens that my daughter has never found a suitable job."
Shen Man glanced at her and said nothing for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Sister Li also felt a little uneasy. She continued patiently, "Xiao Shen, it doesn't matter who you sell your job to. You are selling it to me. How about I give you 800 yuan?"
Seeing that Shen Man remained unmoved, she became anxious.
"Sister Li will definitely accept your favor. Before you leave this position, you can do whatever you want in our Propaganda Department. It doesn't matter even if you don't come to work. I will have a way to cover you."
"Just have fun."
Shen Man said calmly, "Team Leader, this job is in an office, with a salary of more than 30 yuan per month, plus various good benefits. Tell me, is this position only worth 800 yuan?"
She had previously earned 700 yuan from selling goods at a textile factory, and for this job, Sister Li wanted to pay her 800 yuan, which was clearly bullying her.
Sister Li smiled and said that the price was indeed a little low, but it was not too small either.
The jobs out there only pay a thousand bucks at most, she can't ask for too much, right?
"How about the 900 yuan? No more. Even if you give me more, I can't get it."
Shen Man pursed her lips and said, "Sister Li, you really want it. Well, since we have been colleagues for more than half a year, I will give you a discount. How about 1,100 yuan? Someone came to see you yesterday and asked for 1,300 yuan."
"You are now two hundred yuan short. That's a big discount, isn't it? Is that good for you?"
"One thousand and one, why don't you go and grab it, Shen Man, are you crazy?"
"It's only nine hundred at most. If you don't want it, just take a look and see who dares to pay so much to buy your position."
Sister Li's face instantly turned ugly.
One thousand yuan at a time, her family could indeed afford it, but although the daughter was rich, she was not as rich as the son. If all the money was used to buy a job for the daughter, the son and daughter-in-law at home would surely be upset.
If it really doesn't work, she will make a harsh statement so that he won't dare to take over the position.
Shen Man said calmly, "Team Leader, do you know who asked me to book a job yesterday?"
"Who is it?" Sister Li asked subconsciously.
