How's it going, bro?
I have five in my Chinese New Year's Eve today, and the burden of life is on my shoulders, there are old and young, so that people have no time to take care of others. The car, the mortgage, and the children's education are like three mountains, which overwhelm me.
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and life always loved to joke with me.
The personnel of the company said to me: I'm sorry, brother, you were fired, don't step into the door of the company tomorrow!
These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and I was unsure.
Let me ask, brother, how would you feel when you encountered this kind of thing?
Do you dare to tell your wife this unfortunate news without scruples, like a year-end bonus?
I...... Don't dare, I'm afraid that she will get emotional after listening to it, worried that the future days will be sad, and even cause trouble to our married life.
I know she has a lot of questions she wants to ask, but I can't help it, give her a satisfactory answer!
Just like before, every month I bring her the same income as before, which makes her feel very secure!
But now I don't have the courage to poke at my wife, the security I have always brought her so much pride in!
Every day, I was still neatly dressed, carrying my bag, and driving out as usual, as if nothing had happened.
I would find a place with free parking or cheap parking, turn on the computer, order a cup of coffee, and drink it all morning!
Why did you choose here?
I can rub their free wifi, the environment is quiet, and I rarely meet acquaintances.
If I do meet an acquaintance, I will tell them that I have an appointment here with a client and are talking about things!
But, turning my head, I would open the recruitment network and quietly stand desperately to submit resumes.
However, the employer only recruited me under the age of 35 and turned me away.
Next, I would think to myself, if this muddle continues, when it comes time to pay my salary, my wife comes and asks me for money, what should I do?
I don't dare to drink the coffee, in case I finish it, I will be more worried about the money I have to buy a cup of coffee!
I sat at the coffee table, seemingly calm and personable, but in fact I was very anxious!
Is this anxiety after losing your job? Excuse me, brother, what should I do?
Some brothers left me a message saying that he was also unemployed, and the 2.2 million yuan mortgage had only been repaid for 5 years, and the interest had not been paid off.
There is no way, the job is gone, but the income cannot be without, so I secretly registered a ride-hailing driver without my family.
I wake up at four o'clock during the day, start leaving at five o'clock, and go home at ten o'clock and eleven o'clock in the evening.
The daughter-in-law asked him: Why do you get up so early every day and come back so late in the evening?
He said: The company's efficiency is not good, the salary has been cut by half, I still want to run more as soon as possible, run more Didi, make more money, if it is the day to repay the mortgage in the future, you have to take it, after all, people's banks, can't just look at us and stare at them!
His daughter-in-law touched his cheek distressedly, tears rolling in her eyes.
Also, a 35-year-old brother in Zaozhuang, Shandong, who is about the same age as us, also suffered from unemployment.
He was so lost that when he went home to face his wife, he didn't even have the courage to speak up. He bowed his head and did not speak, just blindly buried his head in hard work, silently cleaned up the housework, and lived alone.
In the past, when he had a job, he could get a stable salary every month and could live a worry-free life. At that time, when he returned home, he could enjoy a delicious meal with peace of mind with just one hand and one bowl and chopsticks.
But now, it is not what it used to be, he has to be busy with various household chores such as mopping the floor, cleaning the table, cooking, folding quilts, and sending his son to school every day, without letting his wife interfere and without her deliberate care.
In addition, he did not even dare to shout in front of his wife as before, easily expressing his dissatisfaction and emotions.
His series of low-key actions, perversely manifested, made his wife feel very embarrassed, silently felt sorry for him, and at the same time worried about his future life.
Brother, to be honest, I have been going around in circles for nearly half my life, since the moment of unemployment, I felt my hopelessness and powerlessness for the first time, since submitting the resume, the employer said that it was under 35 years old, I felt a confusion and difficulty in front of me, and suddenly did not know which direction to go next.
People often say forty and confused, but did not expect to come earlier than usual, 35-year-old us, already in the torrent of this era, like a boat floating in the sea, flustered and at a loss, do not know where to float in their next stop!
After returning home, I always intentionally or unintentionally avoided my wife's sharp eyes, for fear that she would suddenly open her mouth and tell me that the child should sign up for a tutoring class, and you will give me that little money to come out.
However, the house leakage is rainy, and the problem of worry still happens, but it is not the child's problem, it is the mother-in-law who is hospitalized with cerebral infarction, and it takes tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses, and the wife is anxious, discuss with me, what should I do?
I said, it is important to see a doctor, you first take out our family's savings for emergencies, and when the salary is paid, I will make up for you.
Unexpectedly, my wife cried out, hugged me tightly, and one hand kept pounding and knocking, smashing my chest!
Crying and saying to me, "Stop lying to me, okay? I know everything, you were fired from the company! Pretending to go to work every day, in fact I know it. ”
I said, "How do you know. ”
My wife said: "I was in the vegetable market, I met your colleague Xiao Wang, he told me that you and his group were all fired by the company, and he is now at home!" ”
I said: I'm worried about you, I'm afraid that I'm unemployed, and you will be anxious and restless, so I've been hiding from you, and today it seems that it's not what I thought!
My wife smiled: "You mess around outside, or spend money indiscriminately, I definitely don't like it, you are unemployed, I still add melancholy to you, am I still your daughter-in-law?" ”
Hearing these words, I suddenly broke my defense, it turned out that our family was not as fragile as I thought, but my fragile atrium needed my wife's great comfort to be able to land steadily.
I hugged her and said: Thank you daughter-in-law, with your words, I have three lives lucky, tomorrow I will go out to find a job, no matter what, let's find a way, continue, income can not be broken.
The wife said: "Don't be too anxious, fight steadily, take your time, think about what you really want to do, we are already over middle age, and there are really not many opportunities to reincarnate!" ”
I said, "The happiest thing in my life is to marry you!" ”
