Chapter 178: What’s there to look down on self-employed individuals?
“I hope so!”
Chen Jintao sighed. They and her husband seldom separated for such a long time. In the past, Huo Beichuan would be away on missions for several days or more than ten days, and at most one or two months. It was almost half a year, and she had not been able to attend her children's birthdays in person. She didn't know when she would be able to come back.
Of course, deep down she didn't want to think badly.
In fact, Huo Beichuan’s current situation is really not very good. Although he successfully killed those soldiers from the Beautiful Country, he was still shot because the weapons in the other party’s hands were much more advanced than his.
It wasn't fatal, but the gunshot wound to the arm affected his movements.
He had been rushing home frantically during this period, but because he was alone and had not yet reached a safe place, he certainly could not let his guard down. Fortunately, he did not encounter any danger along the way.
After Gao Wu reported the situation to his leader, he went straight to find Chen Jintao.
I still have to tell my sister-in-law about the situation with Old Huo.
After hearing from Gao Wu that Huo Beichuan wanted them to take away first while he was going to attract the enemy's attention, Shen Jintao's heart was in her throat.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. The leader has arranged people to go down and pick up Old Huo." Gao Wu could only comfort Shen Jintao in this way.
Shen Jintao nodded. Although she didn't say anything, she was indeed very worried, so much so that she was not in a very good state for the next few days. When it was time to rest, she wanted to do other things to divert her attention.
In 1978, things were really very different from before.
When Chen Jintao was on holiday, she asked Xiao Hongying and others to go to the city to buy things, and they found that there were more and more small vendors, some of them were even blatant, and no one cared.
It goes without saying that Xu Xuemei and her colleagues’ business in her hometown will definitely not be affected by the policy.
This is indeed the case. Not long ago, Xu Xuemei wrote a letter to the army, explaining the situation in her hometown, which has been making a lot of money recently.
Moreover, Xu Xuemei has already discovered that there are some small shops in the town, selling small gadgets, so she asked her daughter whether she should open a shop directly.
Because the house they are currently using has a small storefront. If they can sell directly in the store, their business will definitely be improved.
Chen Jintao thought there was nothing wrong with this, and even explained the concept of chain stores in the future to her mother in detail.
When Xu Xuemei received the reply letter, she was also greatly inspired and started preparing for the battle.
"It's great that we can all do business on our own now. We don't have to go to department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things." Xiao Hongying couldn't help feeling happy when she saw the bustling scene in the city.
"Really? Don't underestimate this small business owner. Last time I heard from a relative of ours that he is now selling things on his own. He sells small gadgets that he buys from Yangcheng, but he makes several hundred yuan a month, which is faster than what we make at work."
The person who was speaking was another female colleague in the school, who had a good relationship with Xiao Hongying, so she also came along this time.
"Is it true?" Xiao Hongying expressed great shock.
Everyone looks down on self-employed people, but they can earn so much money while they need to work for several months to earn that much.
"Well, although they can make money, being a self-employed person is not a respectable thing after all. We still have the stability of our iron rice bowl. Who knows if the policy will suddenly change? What if they are suddenly banned from doing business again? Wouldn't that harm my whole family?"
The female colleague said.
Xiao Hongying didn't think so. "What do you mean by looking down on self-employed people? Why should we look down on them? They also make a living with their own abilities. Besides, they can make money and improve the lives of their families. This is very impressive, isn't it?"
"If I could do business, I would love to do it. I don't want to go to work."
When Xiao Hongying said the last sentence, her tone was filled with resentment.
Although their current jobs are also very good, it's like this at work, they hate what they do and become frustrated with every job they do.
Xiao Hongying is still teaching children in grades one and two this semester. Children in grades one and two are the most naughty and don't listen to the teacher that much, which gives her a headache every time.
If possible, she really doesn't want to be a teacher. Others envy her job, but only she knows how tiring it is to be a teacher.
That’s true, the body is tired and the heart is even more tired.
Everyone has their own ideas, and the female colleague did not argue with Xiao Hongying.
Anyway, she is more satisfied with her current job. She definitely can't go out and set up a stall because she can't bring herself to do it.
Everyone envies this job now, what's wrong with it?
Xiao Hongying looked at Chen Jintao again, "Jintao, what do you think of them doing this kind of small business?"
"I have the same idea as you." Shen Jintao smiled.
Xiao Hongying finally felt relieved when she heard that someone shared the same opinion as her.
She just couldn't understand why people looked down on self-employed individuals and thought it was not shameful to be self-employed. Life was already difficult in this day and age, so wasn't it a good thing to be able to make money? It's true that face is more important than one's own stomach. I don't know what he is thinking.
"Jintao, if I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to do something on my own. I don't want to be a teacher at all. It's too tiring. The two classes I teach are more naughty than the other. Now I feel very tired when I go home after school. I even feel a buzzing sound in my ears. I feel that if I continue to do this job, I will become a psychopath sooner or later."
It can be seen that Xiao Hongying's resentment is enough to feed ten evil sword immortals. This is what will happen if you work for a long time. Chen Jintao thinks it's okay. She has a good mentality and is teaching senior grades. Those children will be more obedient. The situation is much better than Xiao Hongying's.
