I am 73 years old, 51 years old this year, I have been retired for almost a year, and I dare not lie flat with a pension of 2,000 yuan per month.
Some people say that raising a son is the original sin, and the son is the construction bank, which is true, but there is no way
A few years ago, I spent 1.2 million yuan to buy a wedding house for my son, including a down payment of 450,000 yuan and a loan of 780,000 yuan, and now I have to repay a mortgage of 4,000 yuan per month.
It can be said that buying a house for my son has hollowed out my family, not to mention that there are a series of expenses such as decoration, bride price, wedding banquet, etc., and the preliminary estimate is 500,000 yuan.
Last August, I was honorably retired.
After retirement, I also wanted to lie flat, but looking at the 2,000 yuan pension in my hand, as well as the pressure of this life, it was like a mountain, and I couldn't breathe.
I had no choice but to continue working.
When a woman reaches the age of 50, to be honest, it is a very embarrassing age, saying that old is not old, and saying that young is not young.
For a 50-year-old retired woman, it is really difficult to find a job, and the choice is very small, that is, those well-known jobs, such as: cleaner, supermarket waiter, restaurant dishwasher, school dormitory manager, etc.
Just when I was worried and didn't know what job I wanted to find, the leader of my original unit told me that he could continue to hire me, but the salary was not high, only 3,500 yuan.
The words of the leader are a relief for me, and I am already very content.
Thinking about how fast time flies, I have been working in this position for a year since I retired.
It's Monday, and it's the start of a new week, but for me, it's just an ordinary working day.
Because I work in an agency cafeteria, all of our employees are divided into two shifts, morning shift and evening shift, which change once a week.
It's my time to work the night shift this week.
The evening shift is 8:30-11:30 in the morning and then 17:00-18:30 in the evening.
Because I didn't have to work the morning shift, I wanted to sleep in the morning, but it was too hot last night, although the air conditioner was on, but I still didn't sleep well, and at 5 o'clock this morning, it started to blow strong winds and rain again, which swept away my sleepiness.
After getting up at seven o'clock in the morning, I washed up, ate an egg, drank a glass of milk, cleaned up the house briefly, and drove to work.
When I arrived at the unit at about half past eight, I saw that breakfast time was over and the waiters were cleaning the restaurant, so I went straight to my office.
My office is at the bottom of the hallway, and there are two of me in the office.
When I got to the office, the female colleague was already in the house, and because she was on the morning shift today, she arrived at the unit at 7 a.m.
I do financial work in the unit, mainly responsible for bookkeeping and tax declaration, staff salaries and social security.
After entering the house, I first went to the water room to get a glass of boiling water, and then turned on the computer and started today's work.
While keeping accounts, I chatted with another female colleague.
You and I said one sentence, and the east and west family were short, and they started the gossip mode.
After a while, another female colleague also came to our office, so the three of us were comparable to a TV series, it was really three women in one play
After chatting and working all morning, I felt that time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon.
At half past eleven o'clock at noon, lunch began, after opening the restaurant door, the staff queuing up at the door also swiped the card to eat in order, because I didn't eat at noon, so after the restaurant door was opened, I also went home from work.
After arriving home at noon, my husband had already made lunch, and my son also called, saying that he would not go home for dinner at noon.
Rice made by my husband, stewed beans with potatoes, and bitter gourd salad. Although my husband's dishes are not very delicious, I still praised him, saying that he made delicious food, and I will make persistent efforts next time.
After lunch, I squinted for a while. Around three o'clock, I chatted with my classmates for a while.
Then I swiped my phone for a while, and went to the unit again at five o'clock in the afternoon.
I ate dinner at work, I wasn't too hungry, so I drank a sip of porridge and ate some side dishes, and then I got off work at half past six.
At dinner, both husband and son lost weight and did not eat.
So when I got home, I took another shower and started playing on my phone.
The dull day has passed.
Epilogue:
I cherish the job opportunities I have now, which makes me feel that I am still valuable, and I will not get bored with my colleagues every day, let alone be derailed from society.
While you're not old, it's not bad to work part-time, which can earn money and prevent Alzheimer's disease, which is very good!
