Chapter 162 Chapter 162 After Retirement
Ning Shixia also became serious: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Can you help me ask your brother if there is any way to go abroad with less cost?" Ning Danjie hesitated and considered for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask Ning Shixia this question.
Ning Shiqiu is her cousin, but there is a big age gap between them. Ning Shiqiu is five years older than her. Except for when they were young, before the two families broke up, Ning Shiqiu would take her along when he took Ning Shixia out to play. After that, they didn't have much interaction.
And even before the two families broke up, she didn't go back to her hometown often. If they weren't relatives, they wouldn't have much of a relationship, and the amount of contact she had with him might be less than that of the neighbor's kids on the street.
So Ning Danjie could only ask Ning Shixia, who had a better relationship with her, to help her ask.
She could indeed look up a lot of information on the Internet herself, but the information on the Internet is complicated and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. She has too few opportunities to try and error, and is afraid of being cheated. She might as well put aside her pride and ask her cousin who has actually lived abroad for a few years.
In fact, Ning Shixia knew what she asked about. After all, Ning Shiqiu had been away for several years and they were in contact frequently.
During the chat, Ning Shiqiu mentioned some of his classmates who came from poor families but were very hardworking.
All of his classmates left through various channels.
But now is obviously not a good time and place to say those things.
Ning Shixia asked: "Are you anxious? If not, wait until grandma's funeral is over, and I'll ask my brother for you. Then we can find a time to hang out and talk about it."
Ning Danjie nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I still have three years of college to study. I have to at least get a degree before I go out. Thank you, Xiaoxia."
Huang Xiuhua's funeral was more grand than Ning Shaoxian's, and more people came.
Because she was a party member, the organization sent people to send wreaths to express condolences.
After Huang Xiuhua's funeral, Ning Shaoming originally wanted to ask Ning Da to move to his home so that he could take care of him nearby. Ning Meiting was worried that her father would live alone and if he fell at night or encountered something, no one would know, so she also helped to persuade him.
Ning Da still wanted to live by himself: "I'm used to living alone. If I move to your place, it will be different from your living habits. We will both feel uncomfortable. I'm in good health now. It's better for me to continue living alone in the house I'm used to. I'll live comfortably and maybe I can live a few more years."
Ningda knows himself well. Some of his living habits are unacceptable to his son, not to mention his daughter-in-law. He doesn't want to go to his child's home to cause trouble.
He felt that the saying "far away is fragrant, near is smelly" made a lot of sense. Why did they have to live together and erode the children's filial piety towards him?
He insisted on living on his own, and his children couldn't persuade him, so they had to follow his wishes.
However, Ning Shixia was worried, so he bought a mobile phone for Ning Da and asked him to stay in his hometown during the holidays instead of going anywhere.
Rongxi Town is now a somewhat famous scenic spot. Living in the scenic spot, eating, drinking, sleeping and playing every day is very comfortable. By the way, I can also teach my grandfather how to use a mobile phone.
The old man has a bad memory. Sometimes Ning Shixia has just finished teaching Ning Da, and he forgets it the moment he turns around.
He had to go back and forth to teach so many times but still forgot. If it were a more impatient child, he would probably get angry.
But Ning Shixia remembered how her grandfather took care of her when she was a child. She had acted like a spoiled brat so many times, but her grandfather had never been impatient. For example, once her grandfather took her to the street to play, and on the way home she didn't want to walk halfway, so she pretended to have a stomachache. This happened almost every time.
Does grandpa really not know that she is pretending?
He must have known it, but he still indulged her. He looked helpless every time, but he would carry her home on his back every time.
Now that her grandfather is old and she has grown up, when it is her turn to contribute, Ning Shixia is very patient. If she doesn't understand the first time, she will teach her twice, three times, four times, over and over again.
If teaching directly doesn't work, just let him use the phone repeatedly and make it a habit. He will naturally be able to do it once he gets used to it.
She also hasn't forgotten what Ning Danjie asked Ning Shixia to do.
When Ning Shiqiu had time to go back to his hometown to visit his grandfather, he asked him. Then, based on the information he had found and Ning Danjie's personal situation, he chose a method that best suited her.
She didn't invite Ning Danjie to come to the town. After all, Ning Shixia knew what her second uncle and his wife were like.
Ning Shixia didn't want to help her cousin and cause trouble for her parents.
She went back to the county town and invited Ning Danjie to Tian Qing's Internet cafe and asked for a private room with better soundproofing.
There happened to be a computer in the private room. When Ning Shixia spoke, the computer would allow Ning Danjie to see more intuitively how to operate it.
"My brother suggested that if you can change your major after you enroll in junior college, try to change to a major related to nursing."
Ning Danjie also found out about this herself: "I know that, so when I filled out my application, I listened to my parents at first, so that they would lower their guard and think that I was obedient. But at the last minute, I secretly changed my first choice. In fact, I received an admission letter for the nursing major. The Chinese and Western pastry craftsmanship admission letter was forged by me to deceive my parents."
At this time, Ning Danjie changed from being obedient and timid in front of her parents, and revealed her rebellious spirit and rebound after being suppressed for many years.
Ning Shixia was not too surprised by this. She and Ning Danjie were not much different in age, so they had more contact after she went to study in the county town. After high school, their schools were not in the same city, and they were too far away to meet less often.
Many times, children behave completely differently in front of their peers and in front of their parents and elders.
There are some things that children prefer to talk about with their peers, so Ning Shixia has long known about Ning Danjie's rebellious side hidden under the label of "good girl".
Some parents think they know their children very well, but in fact they don't.
Especially those parents who are keen on suppressing their children, they may be particularly surprised one day when they find that their children are out of their control, and think that their children have suddenly changed, so they ask their children, "Why are you not as obedient and sensible as when you were a child?"
Ning Danjie continued, "It's just that I don't know the next specific steps and how to proceed."
"Have you decided where your destination is? Apart from other things, the language is the first problem that must be solved. Germany and Japan are relatively cheap, but the language may be difficult. After all, the public school we attended before did not have relevant courses, which is not as convenient as English. If you have not learned it before, you may have to relearn it, which requires more time and energy."
Ning Danjie: "I still want to go to Europe and America. I have been working hard to learn English in high school." The main reason is that English is also a foreign language that is relatively easy to learn in school. If she works hard, her teachers and parents will be very pleased. Not only will there be no obstacles, but she will also get a lot of support. "In terms of language, I think as long as I continue to learn professional vocabulary and work hard to practice speaking, I should have no problem. My scores in other subjects in the college entrance examination were average, only English was the best, with more than 100 points."
"I have eliminated all the non-English speaking countries for you. These are the ones you can consider."
Ning Shixia said as she found the relevant project website: "This is Canada's 'Home Caregiver Pilot' project. After working for two years, you can transfer to permanent residence. The minimum educational requirement is a college degree in nursing. The language requirements and certification requirements are all clearly written here.
There is also the Australia project, but it requires employer sponsorship. If you are sure you want to go, my brother can ask friends for help. The same is true for the UK, which requires employer sponsorship.
The only other country left is New Zealand. The profession of nurse is included in its "Express Immigration Occupation List", and one also has to work for two years before applying for residence. ”
She paused and said the ugly thing first: "In fact, even if it is not stated on the website, you should need an employer's sponsorship to go to these countries. Think carefully about where to go and tell me so that my brother can find someone to help. But once you have chosen, you can't change it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for my brother to handle it. Then you can only find an agent yourself."
It's hard to repay a favor, and it's good enough that someone is willing to help you once. Ning Danjie knew that she said this for her own good, so she nodded and said, "I understand. I will think about it carefully before making a decision when I get back."
Ning Shixia said, "That's right. There are still three years left. We would rather you think about it for a while than make a hasty decision and then regret it. Save these web pages and compare them yourself when you go back. It's also best to learn more about the local customs and living habits of different places and choose a place where you can live comfortably. When you get out, if you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you first. My brother should be able to help arrange a place for you to live in the beginning. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on."
With Ning Shixia's words, Ning Danjie had more courage to choose this path. At least there was someone to help her and she didn't have to worry about being homeless on the streets without food.
After she said goodbye to Ning Shixia, she walked home while calculating how much money she would need. During the three years of studying, if there were opportunities to make money, she would try to earn as much as possible. She couldn't just borrow money from others just because they were willing to lend it to her.
After returning home, Ye Jing asked her what she had been doing for so long. Ning Danjie did not say that she went out to find Ning Shixia. She decided to stay away from Ning Shixia's house in public in the future, so that her family would think that she was estranged from Ning Shixia, or even no longer in contact with him.
Otherwise, if she runs away and her parents go crazy and think that Ning Shixia helped her run away, and then they go and cause trouble for them and pester them, then she would be repaying kindness with enmity.
Ning Danjie lied calmly: "I went out to meet up with my high school classmates. We will all go our separate ways in the future, so it will be difficult for us to meet again. We have to say goodbye properly."
Hearing her say this, Ye Jing had no doubt that quite a few of these prospective college students in the county had been gathering in groups of three or five recently.
But she couldn't help nagging again: "You are just graduating, it's not like you won't see each other again for the rest of your life. Didn't some of your former classmates do well in the exams? There are so many ways to stay in touch with them now. You should keep in touch with them more often. These will be your connections in the future."
Ning Danjie curled her lips quietly. They each got admitted to a different school, and their social circles would be different in the future. They might not have a common language. Unless they were extremely good friends, what was the point of keeping in touch?
Connections? Only those who can contribute things of equal value can become each other's connections.
I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't show it on my face. I just looked like I was learning from them: "I know. I didn't forget to save their contact information."
"That's right. I brought back a lot of handicrafts from the industrial park. You happen to be on holiday and have nothing to do, so help me with some work. I've been feeling nauseous lately. If you don't finish it quickly, you'll be deducted money for the delay."
Ning Danjie responded, walked to a small table filled with messy tools and materials, sat down, and began to do manual work silently and skillfully.
She has been doing similar manual work since elementary school and has become very skilled at it now, but she has never received a penny for it.
Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, after deducting the money she earned from doing handicrafts for the family over the years from the money her parents spent on her, how much would be left?
Could it be that they are making some profit?
After saying goodbye to Ning Danjie, Ning Shixia returned to his home in the county town, but didn't see anyone there. He called his mother and found out that they had gone to the provincial capital.
Zhao Ruyue is currently living in the dormitory that Su Shengnan arranged for her near the company.
The dormitory building where she lives was built not long ago on the land purchased by the company.
The first to sixth floors are the company's offices, the seventh to ninth floors are the company's training and practical bases, and the dormitories are located above the ninth floor.
In addition to the company's management, those who usually live here are new employees who have just joined the company and come to the provincial capital for training. New employees can live here until the end of the training period.
This room was allocated to Zhao Ruyue to live in permanently. Originally, after handing over all the family property to Ning Shiqiu, Zhao Ruyue planned to return to the town with Ning Shaoming to live out her retirement years.
She had thought it through. She planned to transfer the town's chefs to the county town, and the town's restaurants would be managed by her and Ning Shaoming again.
The shop opens at 9:30 every day and closes when all the things are sold. You can stroll around the town, chat with old friends, make plans to go out for a trip, or just stay at home with your husband and wife and watch TV, movies, read books, play with your phone, use the computer, or play games together.
Unfortunately, it seems that they retired a little too early. Most of their peers who were having a good time are still working hard to buy RVs for their children and have no time to relax.
Zhao Ruyue had no choice but to find something else to do.
It just so happened that Su Shengnan was still expanding his business to other cities, and the demand for employees was still great.
Su Shengnan knew that after Ning Shiqiu returned to China, Zhao Ruyue finally had time to work, so she hurriedly asked her to go to the company to help.
So Zhao Ruyue went back to one of her familiar jobs: employee training.
Over the years, she has been busy with factory affairs, but she has not neglected the maintenance that she likes and is good at. Occasionally, she will come back to provide some targeted training for the employees of Su Shengnan's company.
Or he could go back to his former electronics store, which has now been upgraded to a business office and mobile phone store, to help solve some tricky repair problems.
Now that she has returned to the training job, she is still doing it with ease.
Ning Shaoming didn't want to be too far away from Zhao Ruyue, so he also bought a small shop in the provincial capital.
He opens the shop for a few hours every day, closes it after selling everything, goes home to cook, grow vegetables, and clean, and then goes to deliver meals to Zhao Ruyue every day without fail. His life can be considered comfortable and fulfilling.
