Chapter 993: Retirement and Unemployment
Lu Miao planned to make some time during the weekend and then go to the Children's Palace with the children.
Find out what interests and hobbies your children have and cultivate them.
While we were chatting, someone else came into the yard.
"Little Sister Lu."
Lin Xian started shouting from a distance.
Lu Miao nodded, and while asking her to sit down, he took out the enamel pot again, put some tea leaves in it and poured water to entertain her:
"What's wrong? Didn't you finish the things you did at home last time?"
"no."
Lin Xian smiled and smoothed the pigtails on her shoulders, saying:
"It's something else."
Lin Xian actually hesitated for several days.
She just saw Chen Xiangdong coming back from here, and she knew Lu Miao was at home, so she came anyway.
Lu Miao saw that she looked reserved and a little embarrassed.
Knowing that what she wanted to say might not be appropriate in front of others, he stood up and took her to the room to sit down and talk.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"That's the one..."
Lin Xian put the teacup on the small kang table embarrassedly. The little daughter hesitated for a moment before telling the story.
After briefly recounting what happened on the blind date, Lin Xian paused and continued:
"Sister Lu, you've been to college and have seen the world in government departments. You're forward-thinking and consider things comprehensively. I don't think you'll laugh at me for bringing this up, so I won't hide it from you."
Lu Miao nodded and waited for her next words.
Lin Xian blushed and continued:
"I, I just want to ask, does Comrade Ling, whom I met here last time, have any intention of remarrying?"
Lu Miao was startled and looked at Lin Xian with slightly wide eyes.
Lin Xian lowered her head, feeling her face burning, but she raised it again after just a moment.
"I've quietly asked Mei Zi about his situation these past few days. I know a little bit about him. I don't care about the past, nor do I care that he has a child..."
Lin Xian wanted to continue speaking, but she was a girl after all.
Having said this, her voice suddenly dropped.
It took Lu Miao a long time to come back to his senses.
Could it be that she was right about this?
Are there really some fate between these two people?
"I haven't heard anything about whether Ling Yuan intends to remarry, but have you ever thought about it seriously?"
Although he was surprised, Lu Miao patted Lin Xian's hand, thinking clearly and objectively:
"He has a nice personality and good looks, and he has a degree, but he's divorced once and has a child... You're getting married for the first time, and does your family know about this?"
Lin Xian shook her head: "My mother is the only one in my family, she doesn't know yet... But this is not a problem, as long as people are hardworking and down-to-earth."
The present is not the same as the future.
Although some people care about second marriage, character is more important.
Lu Miao frowned slightly and couldn't help but think deeply about this matter.
Ling Yuan is a good person, and Lin Xian is also a down-to-earth and good girl.
If two people really form a family, life should be easy.
But Lu Miao couldn't make any promises or commitments rashly about this matter.
After careful consideration, Lu Miao patted Lin Xian's hand and suggested:
"I can't ask about this right now. If you really like him, I suggest you first ask your family about it and see what they think. I'll then ask them for you based on the specific situation. What do you think?"
Lin Xian lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly nodded.
"Okay, little sister Lu, I'll go back and tell my mom today, and I'll give you a final answer in the next two days... Then I'll go back and get busy."
Lu Miao nodded and said "hmm", then stood up with her and walked her out the door.
"Why……"
After seeing Lin Xian off, Lu Miao stood at the door and sighed.
Tang Mei saw him and asked, "What's the matter? You look so sad."
Lu Miao shook his head and didn't mention what Lin Xian said, but he couldn't help but ask:
"Aunt, what do you think the possibility is that Ling Yuan will remarry?"
This question stumped Tang Mei.
Tang Mei thought for a moment and said:
"I'm afraid Ling Yuan has lost the desire to get married, but he's the only one in the Ling family. Your Uncle Ling and Aunt Ling must want him to find another one."
Even if it's not for the purpose of continuing the family line, it's always good to have someone to keep you company as you get older.
Parents can only accompany their children for a part of the journey and cannot take care of them for a lifetime.
Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.
The courtyard is very lively today. Chen Xiangdong just left and Lin Xian came.
Then he sent Lin Xian away, and then thought of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao came to Ling Yuan.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
A bicycle bell rang at the door.
Lu Miao and Tang Mei looked over together and saw Ling Yuan park his bicycle, take the basket off the bike and stride into the yard.
"Auntie, Xiaobao!"
Lingyuan greeted warmly.
Tang Mei glanced at Lu Miao, then hurried into the house with a smile to pour some water:
"Ling Yuan is here? Come on, come in and have a glass of water!"
"Why!"
Lu Miao nodded at Ling Yuan, and the two of them walked into the main room together.
While Tang Mei was making tea, Ling Yuan placed the basket on the long table, removed the floral cloth covering it, and took something out:
"These are elm seeds and some Chinese toon seedlings, and there are duck eggs at the bottom. My mom asked me to bring them here for everyone to taste."
Tang Mei scolded him angrily:
"You always bring so many things every time you come here. Next time, I will lock the gate in advance and not let you in."
Ling Yuan touched the back of his head and said with a smile:
"There are elm seeds and Chinese toon everywhere in the village. They are nothing special. We just eat them seasonally."
Tang Mei was tidying up the things on the table while chatting with him:
"Your parents are thoughtful. No one else in our family can match their thoughtfulness. They always think of us when something happens!"
Ling Yuan laughed, but didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Lu Miao, raised his eyebrows, and asked:
"Brother Xiaofu isn't here?"
Lu Miao hummed, then said, "My dad got a house, and he went over to oversee the renovations."
Ling Yuan nodded, sat down and drank water from the teacup, and patted the table and called Lu Miao to sit down with him:
"I actually came here for something else this time."
Lu Miao's eyes flickered and he looked straight at Ling Yuan.
Just now, Lin Xian came over and mentioned what happened a few days ago. Lu Miao thought to himself, would Ling Yuan also talk about his encounter with Lin Xian?
Then Ling Yuan said:
"Xiaobao, do you still remember what you said on Sui Sui's first birthday?"
"ah?"
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.
Ling Yuan rubbed his forehead, summarized his words, and then continued:
"The greenhouses in the south have started to move out again. They don't need so many people there."
Ling Yuan said, frowning and lowering his head:
"I was arranged to retire and be unemployed a few days ago."
It’s not that he lacks the ability, but Ling Yuan’s ability and diploma level are there.
It’s not justifiable to cut people’s salaries, but there’s no way to continue paying them such high salaries.
I can only arrange for him to retire temporarily, and then be transferred back to Lingyuan after the situation has eased or there is another suitable position.
