"Sorry, we have already recruited people for this position..."
Hearing this familiar dialogue, Lin Shuyi knew that he had failed again this time. Since he began to look for a job at the beginning of this month, this is the fifth time that he has failed to apply for a job. Lin Shuyi can't help feeling frustrated. When she was young, she did not get excellent grades. She devoted herself to the general specialty of a local school that was not very good, and comforted herself that she was "at least an undergraduate". When it came time to find a job, she found that there were a large number of graduates from famous schools competing for any position. Her school really had no advantage. However, when he was in school, he didn't like to join any clubs, and his social contacts were basically zero. Otherwise, his family had to live and eat at home locally. Lin Shuyi really didn't know how to face the graduation period.
Forget it, go out for a walk and change your mood.
Lin Shuyi casually put on a suit and walked out with slippers. This community is where she grew up. All her neighbors have lived for more than ten years. Seeing her grow up, Lin Shuyi never thought of "girls should pay attention to their image when they go out". Just after wandering around the community for a while, I saw Zhang Dayong coming back from the outside with big bags and small bags. There were various kinds of vegetables in the plastic bag in his left hand, and several bags of paper diapers in his right hand. The paper diaper bag took up space. His arm was obviously not enough. Seeing that the outermost bag of paper diapers was about to fall to the ground, Zhang Dayong seemed to know nothing about it, and his face was sad. Lin Shuyi hurriedly went up to grab the handle, took the two outermost bags and held them in his hand. Now Brother Zhang noticed her.
"Xiao Yi, thanks to your quick action, I didn't notice that they were going to fall."
"Brother Zhang, why are you so distracted? Why do you buy so many at once?"
"Alas, I'm very upset. It's not just that there is a big sale in the supermarket nearby. Isn't your sister-in-law about to give birth? I want to simply buy more. The child always needs to use it."
"My sister-in-law is about to give birth. I saw her walking in the community a while ago. Why haven't I seen her recently?"
"Yes, there is another month to come. I have a headache when it comes to this." The tone was obviously upset.
During the conversation, they had already reached Zhang Dayong's house, on the third floor, opposite Lin Shuyi's house. Lin Shuyi, a neighbor who has been visiting for many years, followed him into the house without hesitation. When I entered the house, I found that there was really no hostess to take care of the house. Several takeaway boxes were not thrown on the table, and there was no ash on the floor. But it can be seen that the floor has not been mopped for some days. Lin Shuyi was carrying two large bags of paper diapers, and didn't know where to put them: "Brother Zhang, where can I put this paper diaper?" Zhang Dayong went into the kitchen as soon as he entered the door. Lin Shuyi shouted several times before replying: "You can see where the hall is free."
Lin Shuyi looked around and was ready to put his things on the chair in the living room. As soon as he put them down and was ready to leave, Zhang Dayong's head popped out of the kitchen: "Xiao Yi, don't leave now. Brother Zhang has something to trouble you with."
"Spare ribs soup is stewed on the stove. Your sister-in-law is worried about this in hospital. I'll bring it to her after stewing it."
Lin Shuyi sat in the living room for a long time before he heard Zhang Dayong's voice coming from the kitchen. Then he came out of the kitchen.
"My sister-in-law is in the hospital. Is she going to go to the hospital to give birth soon?"
"Xiao Yi, Brother Zhang is not hiding from you. Your sister-in-law is in trouble. You also know that we are not young and have no children. We finally got pregnant this time, which is also considered a middle-aged child, so we both attach great importance to it... Everything was fine until a week ago, when your sister-in-law had an antenatal examination, she found that her blood pressure was on the high side. Hypertension during pregnancy can be large or small. Your sister-in-law is not young. The hospital said that elderly mothers must be hospitalized in order to be safe. We think it will be more than a month before the expected date of delivery anyway. Stay in hospital for the sake of children. After being hospitalized, I found that your sister-in-law can't live without people. Unfortunately, the old man can't count on her. Your sister-in-law's parents are old. My mother left two years ago when she was ill. My father still needs someone to take care of her. Other brothers and sisters are also old and young. Nobody can come at all. " The more Zhang Dayong said, the lower his tone became. He was helpless.
"I'm free now. I took time to visit my sister-in-law. But I didn't take care of the pregnant woman, so I'm afraid I can't take care of my sister-in-law." Lin Shuyi thought very directly. Brother Zhang usually takes care of himself and his family. Now is the time when he needs help. He can help him as much as he can.
"Xiao Yi, I know you are kind-hearted, but you really can't cope with taking care of your sister-in-law. With the weight of more than 100 jin in her belly, you can't help her. In addition to all kinds of blood tests, you may be in a hurry. I can take care of her. I'm looking for you. The main reason is that I can't take a long leave from my current job. I want you to do it for me for a while. "
"Ah? Your boss is so unkind. You are not allowed to ask for leave?"
"No, our boss is very good. He knows my family's situation and gives me a two month long vacation. He said that as long as I can find someone who is willing to take the shift, I will go back to work as usual after two months."
"Well, your boss is very nice. He has such a long vacation. But what job can he do temporarily? I just graduated from school and have no work experience. I'm afraid I will humiliate you if I can't do it."
"It's OK. You must be able to do my job well." Zhang Dayong looked at Lin Shuyi with an affirmative smile.
"Brother Zhang, what on earth do you want me to do?!"
"Driver, drive for the general manager of the company."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyi finally understood why Zhang Dayong said that she must be able to do this job well. Although I didn't succeed in writing, I got my driver's license in the summer after my college entrance exam. I drove around my old car when I was busy in college. I have been driving for more than four years since I graduated from my senior year. I haven't had any accidents. I am proud of the safe driving skills recognized by many old drivers. As a driver, I'm really capable of this job.
"Xiaoyi, I've seen you drive several times. It's steady and safe. I'm relieved. The main reason is that I don't have anyone else to ask now. All my friends have regular jobs, and it's impossible for them to come to take my temporary shift for two months. Besides, those drivers I know drive too hard, and they are not suitable for our boss. And I'm afraid I'll find someone I don't understand and steal the job from me. Of course, if you have already found a job, Brother Zhang will not force you. If you haven't found a job yet, you should consider it. These two months' wages are all yours Brother Zhang stretched out his hand to figure out a number. Lin Shuyi understood it, and compared with the jobs he had applied for before, it seemed pretty good.
"Well... so far, I haven't found a job... It's not about money. The salary level is much higher than most of the jobs I can find. I'm mainly afraid that your boss is not satisfied, but it will make you hard to continue working. You know, many people don't like girls' driving." Lin Shuyi expressed his concern.
"Don't worry about that. The boss said that as long as the car drives well, nothing else is a problem."
Lin Shuyi was still hesitant, and Zhang Dayong said again: "Xiao Yi, your sister-in-law will be born in a month. After giving birth, I will wait on her for two months, and then I will take over immediately. When you look for a job, it won't take much time. Brother Zhang knows that finding a job after graduation is a big thing. If you really can't decide, you should go home and discuss it with your parents, and then ask the little scientist upstairs. "
"Why do you want to ask him about my business?" Lin Shuyi's tone changed when he heard Zhang Dayong mention "little scientist". Yes, please ask him.
I took out my mobile phone and sent him a WeChat message, briefly described the situation, typed and sent it out. Lin Shuyi's WeChat contact notes are all full names, and he is no exception. The notes are his full name: Li Anfeng.
But he has always been busy doing experiments in the laboratory, and sometimes the news returns very slowly. Lin Shuyi doesn't hope that he can reply to the news immediately.
In the process of reply, Zhang Dayong got up again and went to the kitchen to look at the fire. The ribs soup was afraid of being overcooked and lost its fragrance and dryness. "Your sister-in-law likes to drink soup at ordinary times. When she is pregnant, her appetite becomes better. I have nothing to give her. I can cook more dishes to make her eat more happily. When we first got married, we didn't dare to have children. After a few years of good conditions, we wanted to find a good school district and moved here. Who knows, we couldn't conceive any more. We've dragged on for 37 years now. It was really hard for her to get pregnant. She was also an elderly woman, and everything had to be at a higher risk than ordinary mothers. Now that she was not around me, I couldn't put my heart down for a moment. When the soup is ready, I must hurry over. " Zhang Dayong talked in the kitchen, and Lin Shuyi listened in the living room.
Lin Shuyi moved to this community when she was in primary school, and Zhang Dayong and his wife probably moved here when she graduated from primary school. The two couples are not local people, and they worked hard to buy this house, which can be regarded as taking root in the city. Zhang Dayong has been driving outside all the time. His wife does all kinds of small businesses. She usually meets him in the corridor community and greets him warmly. She often sends small things to the neighbors when she has nothing to do. Sometimes it is wholesale fruits and vegetables, and sometimes it is daily necessities that cannot be sold out. Although it is left over from the business, Lin Shuyi has never received any defective products in her memory. Lin Shuyi also remembered that when she was in junior high school, there was a small supermarket at home. Her parents were busy shopping outside. Sometimes when she came home, there was no food to eat. Sister Zhang always greeted her warmly to eat at home. The taste of three dishes and one soup was delicious in retrospect. My parents came back in the middle of the night. When I went to see my brother Zhang, Lin Shuyi fell asleep on his sofa several times. Sister Zhang carried him home with her favorite cashmere shawl.
In the blink of an eye, I graduated from college. It turns out that I received so much care from Brother Zhang and his wife when I was young. It seems necessary to help them. Lin Shuyi has an idea in his mind, but he still can't make a final decision. At this moment, his mobile phone rings, and the chat record box on the top has a red dot. Click to open it and there is only one sentence: "If you think you can help them, go."
Lin Shuyi called Brother Zhang out of the kitchen: "Brother Zhang, I can help you with this, but I'm inexperienced. You have to tell me in detail what to do."
When Zhang Dayong heard this, he beamed with joy and immediately came out of the kitchen: "Xiaoyi, it's not difficult to be a driver for our boss. You can just follow the instructions of the driving school and put safety first. Besides, you must be punctual. The boss attaches great importance to the concept of time. The car and keys are in the company. You can go to the company with me tomorrow, and I will introduce you to the boss."
"OK, Brother Zhang, you can set a time. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Lin Shuyi turned to leave, suddenly remembered something and shouted at the kitchen; "Brother Zhang, I still don't know what your boss's name is, which company?"
Brother Zhang's voice came from the kitchen: "Yin Xingyin, Mountain Wind Group."
