"You can bring so many things back without feeling tired."
"That's why I asked the post office to send them." Li Wei silently moved all these large and small things to his room.
Liu Chunzhi didn't say anything, but Li Minghua had a premonition that something was wrong. He found Li Wei and asked, "Why don't you go back to work?"
Li Wei didn't expect his father to point it out so directly. Now that things have come to this point, there is no way to hide it anymore. Li Wei calmly replied, "I resigned."
Sure enough, this sentence, which was like a bolt from the blue, made the old father completely confused. He confirmed again and again: "I didn't hear what you said clearly."
"Dad, I gave up my job at the TV station." Li Wei said very calmly, as if it was nothing extraordinary.
Li Minghua's face was full of astonishment. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. After a long while, he said: "Give up. What qualifications do you have to talk about giving up?"
"Dad, this is my decision after careful consideration."
Li Minghua gritted his teeth in anger: "Think carefully, I think you are just fooling around. What else can you do if you don't go to the TV station."
Li Wei lowered his head and said, "I want to rest for a while before setting off. Dad, please forgive me."
The muscles on Li Minghua's face twitched. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and slapped Li Wei. The slap was so clear that the mother and son who were talking over there heard it.
This was probably the first time that Li Wei had been slapped in the face for so long, and his cheeks were burning with pain. She covered her face with one hand and stood there without moving. Li Minghua, on the other hand, showed an attitude of resentment and did not want to pay attention to his daughter anymore. He turned around angrily and strode away.
Liu Chunzhi and Li Jianping saw something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "What happened? Why did you hit her?"
Li Minghua's mouth twitched: "Ask yourself what good thing she did."
After being beaten, Li Wei did not shed tears because she had reached the age where she had to take responsibility for her actions. I don’t regret the decision I made.
Li Jianping hurriedly came up to see his sister: "Why did you provoke dad?"
"Brother, I didn't want to give in, so I made my own decision. You will support me, right?"
Li Jianping was still a little confused, so Li Wei could only say: "I quit my job at the TV station."
This time it was Liu Chunzhi and Li Jianping who looked confused. However, Liu Chunzhi was the first to react and pushed Li Wei: "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? I can just resign with such a good job. Then I will What do you think? Do you still want us to support you for the rest of your life?"
Li Wei said: "I will continue to look for it myself, you don't have to worry about me."
"You really want to make people angry to death. Why don't you just talk about it? Who is bullying you?" Liu Chunzhi said angrily.
"The staff of the TV station are already full. Even if I have a fixed position, I am still a temporary employee. The salary is naturally not as good as that of a regular employee, and the future is slim. I don't know when I will become a full-time employee. What's the point of holding such a job."
"Then you're going to resign?" Liu Chunzhi felt her head hurt.
Li Wei nodded. The reason why she didn't want to discuss it with her parents was that she had already expected such a reaction from her parents, so she felt there was no need to discuss it. Make your own decisions about your own life.
Liu Chunzhi was so angry that she couldn't speak. Li Jianping stayed silently beside Li Wei, and later planned to have a good chat with his sister.
"What are you going to do next? Are you going to find another job? Are you going to decide to stay in Huiliang?"
Li Wei glanced at her elder brother who was still calm, and then she said: "The provincial TV station is recruiting candidates. I want to give it a try."
"Then what are you going to do if you fail the exam?"
"It's not like this is the only way, and I don't have to be in a TV station. I can do other things." In this era, it is very easy for women to gain a foothold, and there are not so many constraints.
"Wei, you made this decision too hastily. No wonder your parents are angry. Think about what your efforts have been over the years and whether it was worth it. What if you regret it in the future?"
"Brother... I have suffered a lot at Lincheng TV. I have not completed any of the tasks ordered by my superiors. However, in the end, I am not even a regular employee. What's the point of me staying here?"
Li Jianping patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said to her: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get rid of your parents' anger. You should work harder these days. I may not be able to help you with your matter, but I sincerely mean it." I hope you are doing well and don’t take so many detours.”
Li Wei silently returned to the room and sorted out the things that had been mailed back one by one. Yang Man hadn't left until Li Jianping came over, and she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Weiwei?"
"She resigned, and her parents are angry."
"Ah?" Yang Man looked incredulous.
Li Minghua and his wife were really angry this time, and Li Wei naturally understood it. Now her parents don't even want to see her, so she just thinks she is nothing. Silently helping clean the pool, running errands for the guests, and rushing to do all the dirty work. However, her parents still didn't want to pay attention to her.
On the other hand, Li Wei began to prepare for the exam that will determine her life direction. Every night in the dead of night, Li Wei would lift her aching neck from some review materials. At this time, she would go under the window and look up into the distance. In the dark night, there are singing insects in the distance.
It was probably daytime in the United States at this time. My second brother had been in the United States for so many years and I didn’t know how he was doing and whether he would be hesitant again. If her second brother were around at this time, he would definitely be on her side and encourage her.
Her parents didn't want to talk to her, and Li Jianping's wedding was getting closer and closer amid the cold war with her family. Liu Chunzhi will start busy with her son's marriage.
After dinner that day, Liu Chunzhi and Li Minghua were busy sealing red envelopes. Li Minghua said solemnly: "What should we do about Weiwei's matter?"
"It doesn't matter what she does, let her suffer the consequences of her own sins. Isn't she quite independent? We can't be her master."
Li Minghua sighed: "That's what I say, but she is our daughter after all, no matter what. I think it's better to take advantage of Jian Ping's marriage to invite friends from the county TV station. Relationships that need to be moved have to be moved. Get up. She said she wants to take the provincial TV exam, and we can’t help her. Maybe the people in the county can help her with some preparations. "
Liu Chunzhi threw the red envelope in her hand on the bed and thought for a long time before saying, "Let's do it this way. Go talk to Jianping."
"Sure, let's do it like this."
"But don't tell her yet. She has a stubborn temper and is stubborn. She will definitely not like the arrangements we have made for her. Let's settle the relationship first." Liu Chunzhi naturally knew her daughter.
Li Minghua said nothing.
