For dinner today, Lu Yuan ate some dishes that my mother cooked, either light or salty, which was completely out of her Lu family's first-class level.

During the meal, Lu Yuan secretly observed his mother, with a melancholy expression and a hidden thing in her heart. Her appetite was obviously not good, and she didn't speak much throughout the whole process. Lu Yuan couldn't hold it in several times and wanted to open his mouth to ask, but Lu Qingshan kicked her back with his feet under the table.

After dinner, the family watched TV in the living room for a while. In order to follow Wu Xiuqin's mood, Lu Qingshan didn't even watch the news broadcast that he liked the most and kept changing channels. However, during the news broadcast period, satellite TV stations across the country were broadcasted. No matter how Lao Lu changed it, it was all the news broadcasts. Wu Xiuqin was scolded for a while. After changing it, his eyes were blurred. Are you going to die?

The atmosphere at home was a bit weird and heavy. Lu Yuan borrowed an excuse to go out for a walk after dinner and have a meal. In fact, he escaped from the main battlefield and went to the Internet cafe to play games for a while.

He stayed in the Internet cafe until about ten o'clock before returning home. As usual, his parents had already gone to bed at this point and could be quiet.

But when he entered the house, he found that his mother was not sleeping yet. She was squatting on the side of the coffee table in the living room. There was a large piece of white paper on the coffee table. Wu Xiuqin was holding a pen to draw circles on the paper.

He tiptoed over and looked over. The white paper was covered with various circles and marks. If it weren't for the sketch of the Hangzhou San Cotton Factory's living area directly above the white paper, Lu Yuan would have thought it was a homemade flying chess map.

Wu Xiuqin realized that Lu Yuan was back and quickly put the map on the coffee table, and then sat back on the sofa.

"Mom, why are you not sleeping yet?" Lu Yuan asked.

Wu Xiuqin shook her head and said, "I feel so depressed that I can't sleep."

Lu Yuan sat down next to Wu Xiuqin, stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulder, and said, "Mom, just lay off if you are laid off. Don't worry, I will support you in the future!"

"laugh……"

Wu Xiuqin couldn't help laughing, touched Lu Yuan's head with love, and said, "My son is such a big tone! With your salary, you can't even raise yourself, and you still support your mother? Hey, how do you know that your mother is laid off?"

Lu Yuan had no choice but to betray Comrade Lu Qingshan.

Wu Xiuqin glared at the direction of the bedroom, listened to the snoring from Lu Qingshan in the bedroom, and said angrily: "His mouth just can't hide his things, and he's rude in everything."

"Mom, I am your son. Can you hide anything at home? Comrade Lao Lu is loyal and reliable. If you know the family, you should know everything and say everything!"

Lu Yuan knew that his mother would scold her father tomorrow at most, and asked with a smile: "But did you say that you would like to find Uncle Wang to mediate? Why did you decide to lay off the job so quickly?"

At this time, Wu Xiuqin didn't plan to hide it from Lu Yuan, and told Lu Yuan about going to Wang Danaodang's house that night.

That night, Wu Xiuqin pulled Lu Qingshan to carry cigarettes, alcohol and gifts to Stationmaster Wang. After going to his house, the other party was very enthusiastic, making tea and handing cigarettes to Lu Qingshan. He kept calling Lu Qingshan a senior brother. When he entered the workshop, Lu Qingshan did take him to do work for several months and taught him a lot of things in the workshop. He could be considered a senior brother.

This surprised Lu Qingshan a little. Unexpectedly, the other party was quite nostalgic and was not as successful as he had imagined, and he was arrogant. Later, the couple also explained their purpose and made a request to ask Webmaster Wang to help mediate.

However, Wang Dadaon told them with a serious expression that it is a general trend for the factory to lay off employees of non-technical positions and unconventional staff in batches, and this has become a settlement. One of the restructuring of San Cotton Factory is to streamline bloated institutions and lay off unnecessary positions. This is a response to the call and cannot be stopped. As individuals and departments, both must obey the decisions of superiors and the organizational arrangements. He told Lu Qingshan that those who transferred to Hangzhou San Cotton Factory through the factory-run family relationship were the main people who were laid off this time.

Under Wu Xiuqin's suggestion, Lu Qingshan played the emotional card with Wang Danao. Since you called me Senior Brother, you have to give me this face, right?

However, Wang Dadadao did not reject Lu Qingshan's emotional card. He said that he could go to lobby for another labor protection station to be laid off voluntarily, but he also seriously reminded Lu Qingshan that the above documents currently issue the standards for laid off workers. Even if Wu Xiuqin is not the first batch of laid off workers, he will face the second, third, or even fourth batch of laid off, and laid off in batches. This is the factory's policy for the next year, and the batch interval will only get shorter and shorter. Instead of dragging it out, it is better to actively strive to reduce the burden on the factory and strive to be the first batch of models of laid off voluntarily, so that the cost of getting the buyout of service will be more, and as the first batch of models, you can still get subsidies from the factory. Why not do it?

He was not an exaggeration. He took the Hangzhou Er Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town as an example, saying that the more you are laid off in batches, the less you will get from your seniority. As for the subsidies in the factory, you won’t think about it.

When he was deeply in love, he patted Lu Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "Old brother, I won't hide it from you anymore. My own wife is also the first batch of employees who were laid off from the factory and canteen. Her name has long been reported. Do you know more about the factory's policies and the trends in the factory, right?

When Lu Qingshan and Wu Xiuqin heard this news, they were shocked.

Wang Danao's wife is also of the same nature as Wu Xiuqin. She entered the Hangzhou San Cotton Factory in the name of the factory's family. The problem of state-owned enterprise establishment has been stuck for so many years, so she has been staying in the factory and can work.

Finally, Lu Qingshan and his wife left Wang Da Naodang's house. As for the cigarettes, alcohol and gifts, Wang Da Naodang refused to accept them, saying that they were not rewarded. As for the matter reported on the list, Wu Xiuqin also said that she should consider it and let Wang Da Naodang drag it first, and then give him a clear reply when she went to work on Monday.

After the couple came back from Wang's house in the evening, they went back to the room to discuss for a long time.

The next day, the couple got up early and looked for old acquaintances in the factory who had known for decades to learn about the laid-off situation. Even Lu Qingshan had visited the old director's house in the workshop. The information they received was almost the same. It was basically just a restructuring of the San Cotton Factory, streamlining the institutions, cutting down the staffing, diversion and resettlement of surplus employees, and actively moving towards the market for production and sales. The laid-off decisions made by the factory in batches are imperative. Once the laid-off standards are met, they will be included in the list of laid-off personnel one after another, which is just a matter of morning and evening batches.

In this way, Wang Danao reminded the first batch of employees who were laid off on their own initiative not to look at the dishes, but to take care of old acquaintances.

The couple worked hard yesterday for the whole day before they returned home. It was no wonder that after Lu Yuan got up yesterday, he could not see his parents. The couple went to investigate and investigate.

...

Listening to Wu Xiuqin's remarks, Lu Yuan asked: "Mom, how much does it cost to buy out the first batch of people who have been laid off for their voluntary service?"

Wu Xiuqin said: "Your dad and I asked someone yesterday. A few years ago, the Hangzhou Cotton Factory in Chengxiang Town, like me, as the first batch of employees who took the initiative to lay off, could get about 20,000 yuan. The factory also had an additional subsidy of 5,000 yuan."

"As a result, the more you go, the less compensation you get," Lu Yuan calculated with his fingers, and then said, "If you are laid off, just lay off. You can save this money for retirement. If you have my father and my salary at home, you will give it to you. Our family can still live a good life."

"I don't want to retire so early on your mother."

Wu Xiuqin shook her head and said, "Mom has decided to do something. After she is laid off, she will use the money she bought out of her seniority to do some small business and work as a self-employed person!"

"Oh? OK, mom, you have such courage!"

Lu Yuan immediately looked at his mother with admiration, raised his thumbs up and praised it, and then asked, "What business is going to do?"

Wu Xiuqin said: "That night at your Uncle Wang's house, I heard from him that the factory where his wife was in the canteen was also reforming. Their canteen was the most ruthless. It is said that most of the idle people would be laid off, and all of them would be laid off and reemployed or retired early. After reducing the staff and expenses of the canteen, the factory would cancel the breakfast supply in the canteen and the employees would solve the problem by themselves. The canteen would only make lunch and dinner in the future."

Lu Yuan understood a little and said, "Mom, are you planning to open a breakfast shop by yourself?"

"Yes, once the factory canteen no longer serves breakfast, then will everyone not have breakfast?"

Wu Xiuqin raised her eyebrows, and counted one by one with her fingers: "Xiaolong buns, steamed buns, tea eggs, fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu brain, what kind of thing your mother can't do? Do you think she's a self-employed person in breakfast shop?"

"It's so done!"

Lu Yuan sincerely praised: "Mom, you have seized this business opportunity too accurately and in time. However, there are thousands of living areas in our factory, and there will definitely be more than one breakfast shop in the future, so you must choose the location of this shop."

"You still need to teach this? When you teach, the daylily will be cold!"

Wu Xiuqin said, bent down and took the sketch of the coffee table, spread it on the table, and said, "Look, this is the sketch I drew after I took your dad on a bicycle in the morning and wandered around the factory living area."

When Lu Yuan saw this sketch, wasn’t it the life sketch of San Cotton Factory that my mother was seriously drawing just now? It turned out that they drew it after they went out for a walk in the morning.

Although the drawings are not very good, they are indeed very detailed and marked very clearly and carefully, and even the locations of several public toilets are marked.

Lu Yuan asked, "Where are we going to choose from?"

"Here, here!"

Wu Xiuqin pointed to a position on the sketch with her hand and said, "It's here, every time I go to and from get off work, I have to ride a bicycle by here. There is a large open space at the entrance of the store. You can park your bicycle on the edge of the open space. You can get some cement and sand on the open space. When the entire cement floor comes out, you can set up more than a dozen small tables with small stools. No matter how many people come, you can sit down without delaying your business."

“Good place!”

Lu Yuan praised him and smiled and said, "I know this place, and I often pass by."

Lu Yuan was so familiar with the place he chose. Next door was the Prince's Barber Shop, and next door was Anan Bing Room. On the tree-shaded road next door, it was the only way to get to the Sanmang Factory Living Area from the factory work area.

"I heard that, can you support my mother to lay off and find a job?" Wu Xiuqin was a little depressed just now. Now that she started chatting with her son like this, she felt good.

"Of course, I support it with both hands and feet!"

Lu Yuan said: "But mom, you shouldn't be called laid-off and re-employment, but you should be called laid-off and re-employment. In the future, when our shop grows up, we will hire people, so we will ask laid-off workers in our factory to help the factory reduce the pressure on employees to lay off and re-employment."

"Take all your money! The small breakfast shop also helps the factory to solve the pressure! Let's talk about this later. Now your mother can do it by herself. If you hire someone, you have to pay your salary. How can my little money to buy out the service life, how can I withstand such trouble?"

Wu Xiuqin said, "Son, you are the most educated in our family. Come and give your mother a shop name."

Lu Yuan thought about it and said, "Just call the Lu family breakfast shop."

"Tsk, no! Why is the surname Lu Qingshan in my business?"

Wu Xiuqin curled her lips, snorted, and said slightly angrily: "I want to do self-employed. This old guy had a quarrel with me just now and went to bed in anger."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Wu Xiuqin suggested: "How about calling Lao Wu's breakfast shop?"

OK, this is all infuriating!

Lu Yuan shook his head, it was not very good.

This sign really hangs upwards, and Lu Yuan believes that his father must be so angry that he will be depressed.

Then he thought about it for a while and said, "Mom, why not just call it Xingfu breakfast shop? You are laid off and then hired a job, and you just want to make your life happier?"

"Happy breakfast shop?"

Wu Xiuqin read it softly, nodded heavily, and said, "That's what I decided, it's called Happy Breakfast Shop!"

Lu Yuan looked at the time and it was past eleven o'clock. He yawned and got up to go back to his room to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday again, and he has to get up early to go to work in the unit.

"son!"

Wu Xiuqin suddenly called him and said, "From tomorrow, our family's next day's morning, noon and evening meals will all be changed to buns, steamed buns, soy milk. You are not allowed to be tired of eating! Your mother is going to start practicing the technique of rolling noodles, chopping stuffing and steaming buns in advance."

Three meals a day, eat buns, steamed buns, soy milk every day?

Lu Yuan heard this and asked, "Mom, how long does it take to eat?"

Wu Xiuqin said: "Of course we have eaten until our breakfast shop officially opens. As for the future, let's eat it in the shop!"
Chapter completed!
