Seeing his daughter's relieved expression, Lin Yuefeng felt more at ease.
After lunch, Chen Wu quickly cleared the dishes and wiped the table.
Then, she turned around and went to the cabinet, carefully taking out the old-fashioned cream cake she had bought that morning.
The cake was not big, but in those days, cream was a rare commodity and very expensive.
Chen Wu solemnly placed the cake in the middle of the table, then fetched a clean knife from the kitchen and handed it to Lin Jianxue. Her eyes held a sense of ritual, and her tone was particularly serious: "Xiaoxue, you come."
This is not just a piece of cake, but also a way of breaking away from the past and welcoming a new life.
Lin Jianxue felt a little warm in her heart, she knew her mother's intentions.
She nodded, said "hey", took the knife, and cut the cake into four pieces evenly.
The sweet aroma of cream permeates the air.
Lin Yuefeng looked at his daughter's face, which still looked peaceful and beautiful after going through so much hardship, and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxue, after eating this cake, just treat the past as the past. Next, your parents will help you with the divorce procedures with Jiang Yubai and ensure that he won't have the chance to bother you again."
You can just work peacefully at the factory, or...if you feel tired, just rest at home and relax. Your parents are always there, so don't worry."
Lin Jianxue picked up her own piece of cake, took a small bite with her fork, and put it in her mouth. The sweet and creamy taste instantly melted on her taste buds, bringing with it a long-lost aroma that was unique to this era.
She swallowed it slowly, then raised her head and looked at her father and mother in turn.
"Dad, Mom." She called them softly.
Chen Wu was about to pick up a piece of cake when she heard her daughter's slightly solemn voice and looked up. Seeing her daughter's calm expression, yet with an unusual seriousness, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She exchanged a glance with her husband, Lin Yuefeng, and then asked cautiously, "What's wrong, Xiaoxue? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Jianxue put down the fork in her hand and said calmly, "I want to sell my job at the labor union."
As soon as the words fell, the living room fell into silence.
Chen Wu could hardly believe his ears.
Work for the labor union!
How many people are trying their best to get that iron rice bowl!
What's more, my daughter has loved playing the piano since she was young, and she has seen how much effort she has put in to get into the labor union!
How could... why would you suddenly say you want to sell it?
Lin Yuefeng also had a frown on his face. He was calmer than his wife, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
He pondered for a moment, then tried to speak in an understanding tone, "Xiaoxue, is it... is it because of Jiang Yubai's behavior that you feel uncomfortable staying in the labor union? Are you afraid of gossip? If that's the case, don't worry. Dad can apply for a long vacation for you so you can rest at home and adjust your mood.
Or…if you really don’t want to stay in the Workers’ Union, Dad will try to transfer you to our factory and arrange for a less busy job, such as a librarian or a propaganda officer, which would also be quite suitable…”
He thought his daughter was just momentarily shocked and wanted to escape from that familiar environment.
