Chapter 55 (2/2)

It took Li PA and Li Ma only one morning to complete all the formalities from Xiling coal mine. Before they got home to have a meal, their phones and their parents' mobile phones kept receiving all kinds of calls.

Almost all of them were working friends of their parents. When they heard that the husband and wife had applied for layoff voluntarily, they called to express their concern. After all, this practice was a bit shocking. Moreover, they all thought that they must have a better way so they gave up their work. They also wanted to inquire about the situation when they called.

Li Mu was annoyed by the constant phone calls at home, but he still laughed and teased his parents: ”Mom and Dad, you have applied for the layoff voluntarily, which seems to be a big wave in Xiling coal mine!”

Li Daoping said with a wry smile, ”it's colleagues who can make any waves. Everyone is just curious about why your mother and I took the initiative to lay off and ask if I have a better way out.”

Li Mu asked casually, ”the leaders in the mine should also be curious?”

”They are not curious.” Li Daoping was a little confused: ”it's a coincidence that I went to the guild with your mother to apply for layoff. Before we talked about it, the director of the labor union said vaguely that the leaders decided to add me and your mother to the list of layoffs at the end of the month.”

Then, Li Daoping said something strange about today's experience.

Li Ma said casually, ”let's just let it go. Anyway, we have decided to do it. Why do we care so much?”

”Yes.” Li Daoping smiled and waved: ”it's estimated that when we get off work, our family will be filled with colleagues. Let me see. Anyway, we don't have to go to work. Take Xiaomu to see my parents in the countryside and have a quiet two days in the countryside.”

Li Ma nodded, ”I'm going to have a look. I'm going to pick up some clothes and go shopping in the street in the afternoon.”

Then, the parents began to prepare to go back to their hometown directly after lunch. They didn't think much about the layoff, but Li Mu thought something was wrong.

PS: today's new year's Eve, I wish you all a happy New Year!
