Chapter 104 Frustrated Man [-]

Dongqing returned home with her children and took off her coat. He hesitated for a long time holding the two masks. They were the only masks they had. He was reluctant to throw away the two masks before buying new ones.

Besides, the Internet said that masks should not be worn for more than four to six hours, but he and his daughter went out for a walk for an hour at most, and did not have close contact with anyone, so it should be reusable.With this in mind, he hung up both masks for ventilation.

After coaxing her daughter back to bed, Dongqing glanced at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Jia Lie hadn't heard from Jia Lie since he went out at eight o'clock in the morning.He took out his phone and called Sun Yan.

At this time, the three women in the restaurant were all drunk. The music in the restaurant was turned up loudly. The mobile phone kept ringing in Sun Yan's bag, but she didn't hear it at all.

After making four or five calls in a row, Sun Yan didn't answer. Dongqing could only call Han Guyu. Unexpectedly, Han Guyu's phone was always busy.

Han Guyu drank a lot, and several sisters gathered together to complain about their lives. After drinking too much, they cried. When they were tired of crying, they continued to drink. I don’t know how long they drank. Han Guyu, who was already big-tongued, picked up the phone and dialed directly. Traveled around.

"Honestly, who is better, your wife in the game, or... am I?" Han Guyu couldn't even speak clearly.

After eating takeout, I was browsing rental information on my computer. I couldn't find any good housing all morning. It was close to my work and too expensive for my liking; I couldn't look at cheaper housing.Just when I was having a headache, Han Guyu's call came in.

When Zhou You heard her voice, he knew that she had drunk a lot. He also heard the voices of Jia Lie and Sun Yan on the other end of the phone. He did not expect that these three women would go out to drink as soon as the quarantine was lifted.Sure enough, middle-aged women are not to be offended, because they are not afraid of death.

"Come back as soon as you finish drinking." Zhou You wanted to hang up the phone because he didn't want to talk to a drunkard.

"I ask you a question, you answer me! Do you love her or me?" Han Guyu yelled into the phone.

Zhou You said, "I love you, I love you, please come back quickly."

Han Guyu laughed twice: "You lied to me. If you really loved me, you wouldn't find another wife. You just want to find someone else to give birth to you because I can't give birth to you, right?" .”

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou You didn't want to hear her continue talking nonsense, so he changed the subject and asked, "Sun Yan has also been drinking. How can I drive you back later?"

"Yanzi, haha... she... she crashed the car. Haha, Lie Lie...'s car was also hit by her." Han Guyu spoke intermittently, and the more Zhou You listened, the more he felt suspenseful.

"Where are you, I'll pick you up." Zhou You said as he put on his clothes, took his mask and car keys and went out.

At this time, Dongqing's call to Han Guyu couldn't get through. He became more and more worried and walked around the room.Just when he was frowning, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.

Dongqing thought it was Sun Yan or Han Guyu who came back, so she picked it up immediately.Unexpectedly, my father's voice came from inside.

"Dad." Dongqing just had a phone call with the old man yesterday. The old man had always wanted to quit the nanny and go to a nursing home by himself, but there were no places in good public nursing homes and private ones were too expensive. Dongqing advised the old man to let the nanny take care of him first and wait. He'll talk about it when he gets back.

Dongqing didn't tell the old man about his isolation. He only said that he would go back after the Lantern Festival. He thought that the old man called this time to ask him about booking tickets.If there hadn't been news this morning that Jia Lie might be laid off, he would have probably booked a ticket by now.But right now, he really didn't feel comfortable leaving the two of them alone, but facing his father, he couldn't say he wouldn't go back for the time being.

I was in a dilemma, but I didn't expect the old man to speak first: "I just want to tell you, don't come back yet. I heard that riding in the car is easy to contract that... virus. In the past ten days, my feet have recovered. It's almost time. I can get out of bed and walk slowly. You can ask Jia Lie to quit the nanny and stop spending money. I can take care of myself. "

The old man asked him not to go back. Dongqing was relieved, but he disagreed with resigning the nanny: "I can't go back to take care of you. Of course, there must be someone to take care of you, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

"Son, dad feels uncomfortable asking Jia Lie to spend money. You have to pay off the mortgage now. Jia Lie is under too much pressure alone. Dad can't be so ignorant. Don't worry about me, I found one myself. My old man who used to play chess with me came over to help me. His wife was gone, he was laid off before and he didn’t have much pension, and his children were not around, so I asked him to come over and be with me. He would cook and eat with me. We can sleep here at night, my pension is enough for us two old men."

Dongqing wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, making her unable to make a sound.

When her father hung up the phone, Dongqing leaned on the sofa, feeling a sense of exhaustion all over her body.

He can't help with his own little family, and he can't help with his hometown, so what else can he do?Is he just so useless in this life?

The strong uneasiness and anxiety in his heart made it impossible for him to continue sitting down. He stood up, and like every time he had been anxious in these years, he began to do housework hard, using exhausting physical strength such as vacuuming the floor, mopping the floor, washing dishes, cleaning the toilet, etc. Live to make yourself no longer tired.

But this time, he could no longer think of being able to calm down after finishing the housework like he had done before.Because if even Jia Lie loses his job, for him, he will not even have the last safe haven.

He just couldn't calm down anymore.

Yesterday, he read the news and said that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has clearly stipulated that during the epidemic prevention and control period, open recruitment in various regional units will be organized online or postponed, and offline registration, interviews and written examinations will be suspended.This means that this year's job search will be more difficult than he imagined.

All of his previous resumes were in "Desheng", a high-tech manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and technical services. In other words, all of his previous experience was in the manufacturing industry.

Although the impact on the manufacturing industry is not as severe as the tertiary industries such as catering and tourism, a series of problems such as sharp decline in orders, cut-off of raw materials, and shortage of funds are still severe. Otherwise, Desheng would not have laid off so many people. .

Dongqing tidied up the whole house, and lay on the sofa exhausted. She was about to call Sun Yan again, but she didn't expect Zhou You's call to come in first.

"Dongqing, are you at home now? Jia Lie and the others are drunk. I'll send them back. You pick up Jia Lie at the gate of the community in 5 minutes. The car can't enter the community."

Jia Lie could still hear Jia Lie moaning and saying "I'm not drunk" on the phone, Dongqing immediately agreed, and just about to hang up the phone, suddenly remembered that Jia Lie was driving there, where's the car?

Zhou You seemed to know that he would ask, and then said: "Jia Lie's car was taken for repair, and Sun Yan's car was also pulled away, saying that it was hit. These three people were too drunk, so I just listened. For a rough idea, you can ask her in detail when she sobers up."

"Crashed? Are they okay?" Dongqing broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'm fine, don't say anything anymore. I'm almost there. Come out quickly." Zhou You held the steering wheel with one hand and hurriedly stopped Han Guyu from the passenger seat who was about to pounce with the other hand.

Dongqing hung up the phone, put on her clothes and mask, closed the door and ran out quickly.
