I recruited workers into the city woolen mill in 82 years, 98 years of factory restructuring, I was laid off, and then worked as a salesman in an insurance company, retired in 2004, when the pension was only more than 1,000, and now it has risen to 3,000 yuan, although the pension is not high, but I am very content.
I am Aunt Li, the son of a railway worker, my father is a cadre of the railway branch, my mother is a housewife, and there are four brothers and sisters.
I went from elementary school to middle school after I went to the Railway Workers' Children's School, which is a five-year school for junior high school and high school, and when I entered junior high school, the school began to pay attention to the academic performance of students.
My academic performance was average, and when the school was divided into fast and slow classes, I was admitted to the fast second class of science, which means that my grades were about 90th among the science students in the year group.
At that time, there were very few colleges and universities, and the college entrance examination rate was very low, and when I took the college entrance examination in 82, only half of the students in the first class of the year group were admitted to colleges and universities, and our class was completely wiped out.
When I was about to repeat my studies, the city's woolen mill recruited high school students with urban hukou, so I signed up and was accepted as a textile worker.
At that time, many of our female classmates took the recruitment exam just like me, and we became colleagues in a factory.
Who would have thought that the next year, that is, in 83, the railway also began to recruit workers, and those of us missed the opportunity to enter the railway.
In fact, at that time, there was no difference between the railway and the woolen mill, both of them worked as workers in enterprises, and their incomes were similar.
In the mid-90s, at this time, the efficiency of our woolen mill had seriously declined, and it was very difficult to fund employees.
Here is a paragraph inserted, our classmates in the woolen mill are married to their husbands who work in the railway, these men were born in the countryside, through the college entrance examination to enter the college and secondary school, graduation assigned to the railway, at that time the railway college graduates are very scarce, this batch of college and secondary school students are all cadres, in each unit are the backbone of the technical business, later, these people are either into the organ or in the grassroots units as cadres above the middle level.
Let's go back and talk about our classmates who worked in the woolen mill, all of whom were laid off when the enterprise was restructured.
After staying at home for about a year, I was introduced by others and became a salesman for an insurance company, commonly known as an insurance seller.
To sell insurance, you have to find acquaintances, so I targeted my classmates and went to their units one by one to sell them.
One day in '99, I came to the unit of one of my classmates who was in the first class of high school, and I had heard that she had been assigned to the railroad after graduating from finance school and worked as an accountant in a certain section.
When I came to her office, I was surprised, she was already the director of the financial office of the unit, and she had a big office for one person.
We exchanged a few words and got to the point, I took out a few insurance products and introduced them to her.
I finished introducing it intermittently, I looked at her with expectant eyes, she looked at me and said, you recommend three models, suitable for me, my husband, and my son, one person will do one.
I was so happy that I sincerely recommended three different types of insurance, which were suitable for her, her husband and her son, and then, signed the contract, and finished, we chatted a few more words, and I saw that from time to time someone came in to ask her to sign, and I quickly said goodbye.
Over the years of doing insurance, I have searched all my relatives, classmates, and friends, and most of them can give me face, more or less buy one, and there are those who don't give face.
Over the years, I have searched all the acquaintances, and I have bought all the things that should be bought, and the customers are not easy to find, and I have done it as an insurance salesman.
In the future, I won't do anything, anyway, I have a husband at home to earn money, and at this time, my husband has been promoted to a small leader.
In this way, I stayed until I retired at the age of 50, and the pension was only more than 1,000 when I first retired, which was so pitiful.
I am 60 years old this year, and it has been ten years since I retired in the blink of an eye, and through the increase in my pension in the past ten years, I can now drive more than 3,000 points.
Think about most of my life, although I caught up with the good era of the college entrance examination, but because I didn't work hard, I missed the opportunity to go to colleges and universities and became a textile worker.
Then, just in time for the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, I became a laid-off female worker again.
In order to find a job, I became an insurance salesman, became an insurance salesman, and used up my face with relatives, classmates, and friends.
In the end, she became a housewife with a husband and children, and survived until retirement, with a pension of only a pitiful more than 1,000.
I summed up the first half of my life in a few sentences, and the workplace was lonely and not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, I have a good husband, a good family, and although my pension is small, I have plenty of food and clothing, and I am already very content.
