Zhang Yuemei frowned more and more as she read the recruitment information.

In small counties, job opportunities are very limited.

"It costs 3500 a month to hire a waiter, 2000 a month to sell clothes, and there are also agents and truck drivers..."

Zhang Yuemei was having a headache when she heard her cell phone ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was her mother.

The ringing kept ringing, and when she was about to hang up, Zhang Yuemei adjusted her mentality and answered the phone.

"Girl, what are you doing, taking so long to answer the phone?"

Zhang Yuemei took a deep breath.

"It's okay, Mom, I just got home, I didn't hear you just now."

"You just got off work. Your dad and I made a lot of your favorite dumplings stuffed with three kinds of fresh food tonight."

Zhang Yuemei is still in the mood to eat dumplings now.

The words of rejection were just about to come out.

"Mom, I..."

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Mother Zhang.

"Come back quickly. I'm going to cook it right now. Your dad and I have been making a lot of it all afternoon. You can take some back and freeze it, and you can cook it when you want to eat it."

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zhang Yuemei smiled and sighed.

"Mom, what a bad temper!"

I took my bag and went home.

Zhang family.

Mother Zhang brought the dumplings to the table.

Gu Xiao, who is Zhang Yuemei's daughter, glanced at the time on the third day of the lunar new year.

"Grandpa, I was right, it's seven o'clock and my mother is not home yet."

Father Zhang also glanced at the time and curled his lips helplessly.

"Your mother's slow temperament doesn't know who she followed?"

After saying that, the old man started to dig into his pocket, took out fifty yuan and handed it to his granddaughter.

Gu Xiao said with a smile:

"Grandpa, my mother is the child of you and my grandma. She doesn't look like you, but she looks like my grandma!"

It happened that Zhang Yuemei came in at this time.

Father Zhang said somewhat unhappily:

"Come back early next time!"

Zhang Yuemei was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man's displeased expression, and then at her daughter's proud look, still holding fifty yuan in her hand.

He suddenly said helplessly:

"Dad, did you bet on me again?"

Mother Zhang smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."

"By the way, girl, is it cold outside now?"

Zhang Yuemei took off her coat.

"It's okay, it's not that cold."

Although she was divorced, Zhang Yuemei never moved back home. She was used to not being around her parents. Living together would cause quarrels for three or two days.

Unable to take care of the children due to work reasons, Gu Xiao has lived at her grandma's house since she was a child, and Zhang Yuemei would come over every other day for a meal.

At the dinner table, Mother Zhang looked at everyone and said nothing.

Looking at Zhang Yuemei, she suddenly gossiped:

"Girl, how are you getting along with Dr. Du, the doctor who came to our house to see you last time?"

Gu Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Mom, I think Uncle Du is good. If you like it, I don't mind having more than one stepfather!"

Although the two divorced, Gu Xiao did not lack fatherly love. Perhaps thanks to Liu Ling's childlessness for so many years, Gu Mingyuan liked Gu Xiao even more than before the two divorced.

Gu Xiao often teases his father about this matter.

"If you hadn't divorced my mother, dad, I wouldn't have known you could be so good to me?"

Seeing everyone at the table paying attention to her, Zhang Yuemei didn't say anything, but her expression changed and her hand holding the chopsticks relaxed.

After stabilizing his emotions, he forced a smile and said:

"pretty good."

How could Mother Zhang not understand her daughter?

Seeing Zhang Yuemei's smile that was uglier than crying, she knew something must have happened.

"Okay, that's fine. Last time you said that your relationship hasn't been finalized yet. I thought she didn't like you. Okay, let's eat quickly."

"Mom, I'm full, you can eat."

Zhang Yuemei left the table and went to the bathroom.

Looking at the plate full of dumplings, Gu Xiao whispered:

"Grandma, grandpa, I feel something is wrong with my mother!"

Mother Zhang glanced at the bathroom and whispered:

"You see it too?"

Gu Xiao nodded quickly.

The Zhang family's parents are retired workers from a power plant and do not have much education, but they have given Gu Xiao a good education. No matter what happens at home, they will not deliberately hide it from their children, whether it is family matters or Gu Xiao's. They will listen to Gu Xiao's advice on everything.

Zhang Yuemei came out of the bathroom and saw two pairs of eyes, an old man and a young man, looking at her.

"Mom, what are you doing? Have you finished eating?"

"Mom, your abnormality has attracted the attention of all of us. Next, will you confess on your own initiative, or will we torture you to extract a confession?"

Zhang Yumei looked at her daughter and laughed.

"You girl, stop watching TV series, you are about to take the high school entrance exam."

Gu Xiao stuck out his tongue towards his grandma.

"Grandma, I'm not intimidating enough, so you should ask."

Seeing something was wrong, Zhang Yumei took her bag and wanted to leave. However, Zhang's mother grabbed the bag first and sat on the sofa.

"What's going on, girl? Can't you and that guy get married? Oh, why are you so slow-tempered? You're really worried to death!"

"No matter what, you tell mom, otherwise your dad, me, and Xiaoxiao won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Zhang Yuemei glanced at the strong gossip in her mother's eyes and had no choice but to sit down.

He took a deep breath and said:

"I quit. There is a new director in the hospital, which has made the whole hospital a mess. I really can't work anymore. That Doctor Du also quit after me..."

As for the rest, Zhang Yuemei didn't say anything.

After the words fell, the room was quiet for a moment.

Mother Zhang took a sip of water from her tea cup and calmed down for a while. She did not reprimand her daughter. She was so old, had children, and had such a good job. If something went wrong, she would just be patient and let it go. Something like that, but he said with a relaxed face:

"It's good to quit. There's nothing good about that job. Every day in the hospital, there is the smell of disinfectant. I don't have time to take care of the children. I just quit this time. Take a good rest at home for two days. You can do it these days. Stay at home and do nothing but eat, drink and have fun!”

Seeing her mother's pretended relaxed tone, Zhang Yuemei choked up and burst out laughing.

"Mom, if I don't do this anymore, you can support me!"

Zhang’s mother immediately replied:

"Why don't you raise her? Your father and I only have a daughter like you. All the property in our family belongs to you. Besides, your father and I's monthly pension is enough for you two."

Gu Xiao also said quickly:

"Mom, don't worry, I can support you now. Don't I still have your biological father, your ex-husband? I'll ask him for more alimony."

Zhang Yuemei was moved. When she got divorced, her parents were just like they are now. They didn't say anything to blame and kept comforting themselves.

"Oh, I'm just kidding you. I'm not a kid anymore. I've already found a new job. Although I'm not in the hospital, the conditions are pretty good!"
