Chapter 111 Xiaoju’s life after divorce
After the divorce, Xiaoju started a new life with Niuniu alone.She rented an apartment with a private bathroom in the village and settled down temporarily.She finally got rid of her nightmare marriage. Although she knew that the days ahead would be difficult, she had already experienced rebirth after death in order to set a good life example for her daughter. Now she is not afraid of any difficulties.
Xiaoju silently looked at the few luggage items piled on the ground, and couldn't help feeling sad, both for herself and for Niu Niu.This is what you get after several years of marriage.Ever since she married into the Xiao family in a humble manner, she has never had much money and belongings. Except for a few pieces of soft clothing that she bought occasionally, there seems to be nothing.But even so, when she went to Xiao's house to pack the luggage of mother and daughter, Xiao Qiang's mother kept watching as if guarding against thieves, for fear that she would take away anything valuable from their home.Thinking of this, Xiaoju couldn't help but laugh. That's it, everything was over, and she had nothing to do with the Xiao family from now on.
After sorting out her thoughts, Xiaoju smiled and called to Niuniu who was playing: "Niuniu, come here! Let mommy hug you."
"Mom!" Niu Niu trotted over and threw herself into Xiao Ju's arms. She asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, where are you?"
Xiaoju hugged Niuniu tightly in her arms and replied softly: "Niuniu, this is our new home. From now on, only mother and you will depend on each other. Don't worry, Niuniu, mother will definitely be a strong and brave mother and protect her well." Niuniu, set a good example for Niuniu."
At this moment, "dong dong dong..." a knock on the door sounded.
Xiaoju let go of Niuniu, stood up and opened the door, "Tsinghua University, how did you know I moved here?" Xiaoju asked in surprise.
"Xiao Ju, have you forgotten what I do?" Jiang Qinghua stretched his head to look into the small room, glanced at the luggage piled messily on the floor, and replied with a smile, "How about I help you? Take Niuniu with you, and you can sort it out slowly."
Xiaoju responded with a smile: "That's good, it saves her from causing trouble in front of me and distracting me."
“Niuniu——” Jiang Qinghua shouted with a smile, “Come to uncle quickly, let’s play a game.”
After Niu Niu heard the shouting, she quickly dropped the plaything in her hand, ran towards Jiang Qinghua with a smile, and shouted sweetly: "Uncle!"
Jiang Qinghua responded with a smile: "Hey, Niuniu is really getting better and better!"
Jiang Qinghua was playing with Niu Niu while chatting with Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, you have moved your household registration to our village now, and you are a member of our village. In response to the superior's one-gang-one policy, in view of your situation, I plan to Let's pair up. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, remember to tell me at any time and I will try my best to help you."
"One gang? Is there such a policy?" Xiao Ju asked with a smile while packing her clothes, "Today's policy is really getting better year by year."
"That's right!" Jiang Qinghua replied with a smile, "Xiaoju, you see you have settled down now, what are your next plans?"
"I want to find a part-time job first. I have to spend money to live!" Xiao Ju replied helplessly while packing her things.She knew that working part-time was not a long-term solution, but she could only take one step at a time. After all, there was no one around to help take care of Niu Niu.
"Working odd jobs? Xiaoju, isn't this appropriate? I suggest you find a stable job. After all, you have a bachelor's degree. If you just work part-time, your income will be unstable, and you and Niuniu need to have stable food expenses. Secondly, doing part-time jobs is really a waste of your academic qualifications." Jiang Qinghua did not agree with Xiao Ju's idea, "I will keep an eye on the work for you later, and I will notify you as soon as I find a suitable one."
"I also want to find a serious job, but what should I do with Niuniu? Send her to a childcare center. Childcare fees are too expensive. Just stay with me. How can I work?" Xiaoju looked at Niuniu helplessly, with a look on her face. Full of helplessness.
"Actually, I have thought about this problem for a long time. If you can trust us, you can send Niuniu to my house during working hours during the day and let my parents take her with you. You can pick her back up at night." Jiang Qinghua smiled. He suggested, while teasing Niu Niu, "Can Niu Niu play with Grandma Zhang?"
Niuniu giggled and replied in a sweet voice: "Niuniu likes Grandma Zhang."
"How can this be done!" After hearing this, Xiao Ju threw down the clothes in her hands and objected immediately, "Your parents still have their own affairs to be busy with. Didn't Niu Niu make trouble for them in the past? Besides, her own grandma is also in the village. I don’t want to embarrass your parents.”
"Xiao Ju, you are wrong to think so. You and Xiao Qiang have already divorced. You still don't care what Niu Niu's grandma thinks. Don't worry, my parents also like Niu Niu very much. There is no problem in helping her take care of her." Jiang Qinghua insisted. road.
"Qinghua, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not appropriate to do this. I'll think of other ways." Xiaoju also insisted on disagreeing. After all, this arrangement is really inappropriate. She and Jiang Qinghua are not related. What's the matter with his parents helping to take care of Niuniu?
Seeing Xiaoju's resolute attitude, Jiang Qinghua thought for a moment and continued to sincerely suggest: "Otherwise, after you find a job and make money, you can send Niuniu to a childcare center. We will help you during the transition period in the first few months." You take it with you, you think that’s okay?”
Seeing Jiang Qinghua's sincere eyes and listening to his sincere words, Xiao Ju was too embarrassed to brush off other people's good intentions, so she nodded and agreed. After all, she had no other better choice except this method at the moment.
"It's just too troublesome for you!" Xiaoju felt that this was too much to bear, and she replied with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"Look, look, it's here again! If you say such things again, you'll be out of sight!" Jiang Qinghua replied with a smile, "I'll be angry if you see out like this again in the future. Besides, this is also one of my jobs, It’s a gang.”
Xiaoju smiled and continued to sort out the items with her head down, while Niu Niu and Jiang Qinghua were having fun on the sidelines.
Now that the important matter of taking care of Niuniu has been properly arranged for the time being, what kind of job to find next must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
While taking care of Niuniu, Xiaoju submitted her resume online to search for job opportunities.But several days passed, and she didn't receive an interview notice from any company.Occasionally, one or two companies called, and once they learned about her situation, nothing happened.
Just when she was extremely depressed, Siyi called: "Xiaoju, I heard that you have been divorced?"
"Yes, Siyi, you are finally free!" Xiaoju replied with relief.
"Xiaoju, what are your plans next?" Siyi continued to ask.
"I'm applying for a job online by submitting my resume." Xiao Ju replied while browsing recruitment information online.
"Xiaoju, if you don't mind it, you can consider coming to work in Chensu." Siyi suggested.
"Go to Chensu? But I don't have relevant work experience?" After hearing Siyi's invitation, Xiaoju was happy but more worried. After all, Chensu is now a star company with high recruitment requirements. Can she be qualified? ?
"You don't have to think so much, just say whether you want to come or not?" Siyi asked with a smile.
"Of course I thought about it, but..." Xiaoju was still a little timid.
"Are you free this weekend? Why don't we sisters get together, and I'll tell you about the nature of Chensu's job? Let's treat it like an interview!" Siyi asked jokingly.
"Okay, I will be there on time, interviewer." Xiao Ju also joked with a smile.
"By the way, who will take care of Niuniu for you now?" Siyi asked.
"I'm still on my own for now. I will make proper arrangements when I find a job. Don't worry about that." Xiao Ju quickly replied. After all, if she went to Chensu, she would have to go all out. She couldn't take her children to the company to enjoy the autumn breeze. .
"That's not what I meant, Xiaoju. Let's talk when we meet that weekend. I haven't seen the cutie for a long time and I miss her a little." Siyi said with a smile.
"Okay, see you on the weekend."
Soon the weekend came, Xiaoju took Niuniu to the meeting place, and saw that Yuqing and Siyi had already sat in the inner room in advance.
"Niuniu, do you still remember these two beautiful aunts?" Xiaoju asked softly as she led Niuniu to her seat.
"Auntie!" Niu Niu shouted sweetly.
"Come! Come to Auntie. Auntie will give you candy." Siyi took out a lollipop from her bag and shook it in front of Niuniu.
"Niuniu, come to Auntie. There are toys in Auntie's bag." Yuqing also quickly took out a small toy dinosaur from the bag.
After Niuniu looked around at the two aunts, she walked up to Siyi and reached out to take the lollipop. "Haha! Lollipops still work!" Siyi said with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.
"Niuniu, although you didn't choose an aunt, the little dinosaur still has to be given to you. Come on! Take it." Yuqing pretended to be sad and handed the little dinosaur to Niu Niu in a funny way.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Niu Niu politely thanked her after taking it.
"Oh, Niuniu is getting more and more sensible!" Yuqing praised with a smile.
"Isn't Lulu here?" Xiaoju asked curiously after sitting down.
"Well, I haven't contacted her for a long time. I called her several times in the past two days. I originally wanted to ask her out to hang out, but the phone never got through. I don't know what she is busy with recently." Siyi sighed and replied.
"I went to her residence several times some time ago, but no one answered the door every time, and no one answered the phone." Yuqing asked worriedly, "Do you think anything will happen to her? ?”
"From what you said, I'm a little worried too. How about I try calling again." Xiao Ju took out her mobile phone and dialed Guan Lu's number, but no one answered.
"Did something happen to Lulu recently?" Xiaoju asked worriedly.
"Ever since Lulu was cheated last time, she seems to have become a different person." Yu Qing replied.
"Lulu was cheated? When did it happen?" Siyi asked hurriedly.
"Oh, how should I put it?" Yuqing sighed, "Some time ago, she suddenly called me out of nowhere and said that her boyfriend was engaged in investment and had a financial product with an annualized return rate of up to 40%. She She also urged me to invest, but I heard it was unreliable and advised her to think about it more, but she was still impatient with me. In the end, after she used all her parents’ savings to buy this product, her boyfriend disappeared. Gone."
"Oh my god! Such a thing happened. Did she call the police?" Siyi asked quickly.
"She said she had already reported it to the police." Yuqing replied, "I don't know whether she has reported it specifically."
"All her parents' savings? Do you think Lulu went to settle the score with that man?" Xiao Ju guessed.
"It's hard to say, I'm very worried about her safety now." Yuqing said worriedly, "I have long advised her to find a job quickly and stop being like this, but she just won't listen."
"How about we go to her house to see her after dinner later?" After Siyi said that, she turned to look at Xiaoju, "Look, we were so busy talking about Lulu that we forgot about this. Xiaoju, welcome to join us. Chensu, do you want to be in administration or sales?"
"Which one do you think is appropriate for me to do? I'll listen to you, as long as it doesn't cause trouble to Chensu." Xiaoju replied considerately.
Siyi thought for a while and suggested: "How about you work in administration first? This is more suitable for you, and the working hours are fixed, which makes it easier for you to take care of Niuniu."
"By the way, Xiaoju, if you go to work, who will take care of Niuniu? Do you plan to put her in a daycare center?" Yuqing asked with concern.
"The child care fee is too expensive. Jiang Qinghua suggested that I leave Niu Niu at their house while I go to work during the day. His parents will help take care of her, and I will pick her up after get off work in the evening." Xiao Ju replied.
"This Jiang Qinghua is so kind to you, Xiaoju, doesn't he like you?" Siyi joked with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiaoju felt embarrassed after hearing what Siyi said, and quickly interrupted her to deny, "He works at the village committee and said that the village has a one-to-one policy, and I am his target of assistance. To put it bluntly, this is actually his job.”
"Actually, from the last time you were hospitalized, I could see that Jiang Qinghua's eyes were full of distress and pity, which you can't pretend. If he is really interested in you, I think he is really a suitable person. Remarriage partner." Yu Qing also dialed with a smile.
"Okay, please stop teasing me. I have just been divorced and I don't want to think about remarriage yet. What's more, I am single at Tsinghua University and I am married for the second time with a child. They are not suitable for each other." Xiao Ju quickly changed the subject. , "Siyi, when can I go to work?"
"It's up to you. The company can do it at any time." Siyi replied.
"Thank you so much. I must say thank you to Mr. An for me!" Xiao Ju replied excitedly.
"Xiaoju, why are you always so polite? We are all sisters, so we should help each other!" Siyi replied with a smile.
At this moment, Xiaoju's cell phone rang. When she saw that the call was from an unknown number, Xiaoju looked at Siyi and Yuqing and whispered, "It can't be about Lulu, right?"
"It's possible!" Yuqing already had a premonition that something was wrong.
"You pick up the phone first and see what the other party says." Siyi suggested anxiously.
