February 20, 1981, Gregorian calendar.
The children have gone to school, and Tian Wenjun comes to work in the restaurant.
When she arrived, the restaurant was open, and there were only Zhang Guilan and Wang Daqing in the restaurant.
Zhang Guilan saw Tian Wenjun's face light up with joy, and then turned sad the next second.
Tian Wenjun said: "Sister Zhang, you look like you are worried, is there something wrong?"
Tian Wenjun thought, could it be that the restaurant contract has already been confirmed?
Thinking of this, she asked tentatively: "Is it because of the restaurant contract?"
Zhang Guilan nodded and said, "That's it. I also received a notice yesterday. The annual contract fee is 1,000 yuan. The boss asked me to take inventory of the items in the store. He said the contractor will arrive on the 20th of the first lunar month.
We’re all going to be out of work.”
Tian Wenjun's heart skipped a beat. She never expected the news to come out so quickly.
Before the New Year, she went to Guangzhou, hoping to earn more money and then wait for news after the New Year to contract a restaurant.
I didn't expect that someone had already taken the lead.
However, Tian Wenjun could also understand.
She doesn't have any reliable people above her. To put it bluntly, she has no power, no money, and no friends.
If you have someone above you, anything can be done easily as long as you have money.
At least, this kind of money-making news will reach the ears of those who are interested first.
What chances do ordinary people like them have?
But it doesn’t matter.
If there is no opportunity next year, she will continue to set up a street stall.
Even if I don't earn much, I can still support several children.
Tian Wenjun prepared for the worst.
Tian Wenjun said: "Sister Zhang, we will always find a way."
Zhang Guilan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, we will always find a way.
If I really don't have any money, I will just follow your example and set up a stall, selling some red oil wontons and so on, and I can also earn some income.
Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "I think your idea is good."
Wang Daqing came out from the kitchen at the back and handed the inventory list to Zhang Guilan, and echoed: "You all want to do it, but I haven't thought about it yet. What should I do?
When the time comes, I will find a shoulder pole, carry needles and thread and go to other villages to exchange hair."
Several people seemed to be joking, but they were actually in a state of confusion.
In the morning, Tian Wenjun helped to count the items in the restaurant, and everyone dispersed at noon.
When Tian Wenjun returned home, Chen Jianguo and his family had just finished lunch. She saw that her wife looked a little tired. She came back in the middle of the day. Could it be that the restaurant was not open yet?
Chen Jianguo said: "Wife, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Well, not yet. I'll just eat some biscuits."
She walked to the table, saw the three children doing their homework, and smiled with relief.
Tian Wenjun went to the kitchen to prepare food, and Chen Jianguo followed her in.
"What's wrong? Is the restaurant not open yet, or has the outsourcing been finalized?"
As expected of the team leader, he could see it all at a glance.
"It has been contracted out. Our stay or departure will be determined in a few days. The current situation is unclear."
Chen Jianguo said: "If you can't go to work at that time, then you can rest at home for a while.
You've been pretty tired these past few years."
Tian Wenjun took another deep breath and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
She wanted to have a quick bite, so Chen Jianguo cooked some noodles for her with a poached egg on top.
A few days later she went to the restaurant and received news again.
The person who contracted the restaurant was from another place and he brought his own cook. Zhang Guilan was the accountant. Maybe the boss thought that Zhang Guilan was familiar with the people and the place, so he kept her.
Wang Daqing also stayed. Tian Wenjun was a woman, and the boss said that women had poor physical strength and the kitchen didn't want a female cook.
The implication is to let her go.
Zhang Guilan and Wang Daqing both pleaded for her, but Tian Wenjun ultimately did not stay.
Tian Wenjun could actually understand it, and she didn't intend to force it.
After leaving the restaurant that day, she went to find He Damei.
Chen Baoguo was planning to go to the south in two or three days, and Tian Wenjun told him about the restaurant.
Chen Baoguo thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, if there is no work, then forget it. Let's take a rest and take it slowly."
Tian Wenjun nodded.
Chen Baoguo suddenly remembered a man he had saved before. That man traveled around all year round, collecting Chinese herbal medicines everywhere.
Artemisia capillaris, dandelion, wild pinellia and so on.
It's just that this job is a bit hard.
But my sister-in-law is careful and careful, so she can still do this job.
Chen Baoguo said: "Sister-in-law, I know a man who usually collects Chinese herbal medicines. If you want to do it, you can collect Chinese herbal medicines. I will help you connect when the time comes."
He Damei said: "Why do I feel that this is unreliable? It's not easy for my sister-in-law to make money. You must not let her take too many risks."
Tian Wenjun said, "I'll rest for a few days. If I can't wait, I'll go to Guangshi to wholesale some goods and sell them back when it gets a little warmer."
Since 1980, clothing has dominated the world.
She knew very well that getting rich quickly was not possible on her own.
Chen Baoguo didn't say anything else, and Tian Wenjun went back and rested for a few days.
Jiang Wan has already gone to work at the county hospital.
The medical equipment here is limited, so she is not too tired sitting in the outpatient clinic every day.
Nowadays, most women give birth at home because they are afraid of spending money in the hospital.
Their superiors gave them tasks and asked them to do more publicity.
The current policy of the family planning station is that women can only have one child, and the obstetrics and gynecology department of the county hospital is actually not that busy.
In mid-February, Tian Wenjun went to Guangzhou.
She dressed very simply when she went out and looked like an ordinary person.
She was sitting in the car, and from time to time a woman dressed very fashionably would walk by her, causing the men in the box to look at her.
There were also some good-looking men passing by.
When the two men passed each other, they winked at each other. Tian Wenjun knew they were in the same group at a glance.
The train station is a mess these days.
She tried to pretend to sleep as soon as she got in the car.
When the train arrived at the next stop, the two men and the woman still did not get off.
However, a man came up to stand opposite Tian Wenjun.
The man was wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket, and had a leather bag under his arm. He looked very elegant.
Tian Wenjun opened her eyes slightly and looked at him, not knowing that the man was also looking at her through his sunglasses.
Soon, the fashionably dressed woman came back.
She looked at the man and sat next to him in a seductive posture.
The man tilted his head to glance at the woman, saw that she had a good figure, and then glanced at her chest.
After seeing this, Tian Wenjun just closed her eyes gently, leaned her head on the train car, and continued to pretend to sleep.
Soon, the woman started chatting up the man.
"Brother, you look very nice. Where are you going? Maybe we can go the same way."
The woman's sweet words reached Tian Wenjun's ears, and Tian Wenjun translated what the woman said in his mind.
Brother, you look very rich. Where are you going to do business?
If you have money, let's go together and I'll find a way to kill you in the end. All the money will be mine.
