The time when a person stays at home and concentrates on work always flies by.

When "Exchanging Life" reached 2 million words, the story began to come to an end.

And the holiday time has also arrived on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

As the New Year is approaching, Ding Wei has to pack her luggage and prepare to go home.

Before going home, she once again visited Xie Yan's home, had a delicious meal, and then asked her boyfriend, who had not officially started her vacation, to take her to the train station.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Xie Yan carried the 24-inch large box in his hand with a puzzled expression.

This box is not heavy, and it is even a little light, as if there is nothing stuffed in it.

Ding Wei smiled and nodded.

She had already sent back the clothes she should take back as gifts. But except for her own change of underwear and some sundries, there was nothing else in the suitcase.

For such a big box, most of it is empty.

"Some of my things have been sent before, and if I carry too much luggage by myself, it will be inconvenient to get in and out of the car."

She held her boyfriend's hand nostalgically and sighed: "My boyfriend is here in the imperial capital to see me off, so I don't have to worry about it, but what will I do when I get home? So it's better to just drive and keep things simple."

Xie Yan sighed.

"Weiwei, I don't know the extent of the conflict between you and your family, but if you need it, just call me and I can come over at any time."

Ding Wei nodded.

She has already seen a lot about this young man, Rao Chicheng, and now she naturally trusts him very much. At this moment, she smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I can handle it. When I really need you, I will definitely not forget him."

In fact, if possible, she would like to get rid of the trivial matters at home during this holiday, so that she won't have to bother with them in the future. If necessary, Xie Yan might even have to come and put on a big show in person.

But this is just an idea. Let’s go back and take a look at the specific situation.

Xie Yan sighed.

His girlfriend's ideas have always been unique and firm, and he doesn't have any position here, but he is just a little melancholy - are he so defensive about his family? Weiwei's parents are really incompetent.

Even now during the holidays, she doesn't dare to wear any new clothes, she must be aware of it.

That's right, what Ding Wei is wearing now is a long black down jacket with flaws that she found in Chen Siyu's warehouse.

Including the sweaters and pants, they are all defective products. They are the kind of defects that cannot be seen at a glance, but can be seen clearly if you look carefully.

The warm clothes and the like are from a good brand, but the style outside is completely incompatible with Ding Wei's previous image.

Seeing the distressed look in her boyfriend's eyes, Ding Wei also sighed: Prepare for a rainy day!

…

She had grabbed this rare train ticket, and now that the train was pulling into the station, it was time for her to prepare.

The two separated in front of the station. Ding Wei followed the flow of people to find her carriage and sat down safely.

At this moment, she felt a trace of separation melancholy.

If possible, she would not want to return to Jiangzhou at all.

Her hometown, now in her memory, brought her more pain.

Most of this pain comes from her own stupidity, but part of it also comes from the love and happiness that she can't let go of.

…

As the New Year is approaching, the trains are packed with people. There is not a single extra ticket.

Ding Wei relied on her skillful movement to squeeze out of the crowd of sardines, and it took a lot of effort to find her seat.

At this moment, she was exhausted from struggling. After a while, she pulled down the front seat panel and reopened the notebook.

…

Today's cars are naturally not as comfortable as the high-speed trains of later generations, but they are already very good tickets that can be bought today. A ticket costs several hundred yuan, and Ding Wei would have been reluctant to part with it in her previous life.

Her resentment towards her parents slowly accumulated from these small details.

Jiangzhou is a remote city.

Taking the train back from the imperial capital takes nearly 18 hours. Ding Wei was reluctant to spend money when she was in school, so she always bought tickets by sitting or standing.

It doesn't matter how hard it is to survive 18 hours, but it is certainly not easy.

Despite this, Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang were never willing to pay her an extra 200 yuan to change her to a sleeper berth ticket.

Even now the combined salary of the two people is already 6,000.

What Ding Wei can get is 400 yuan for monthly living expenses and 100 yuan for holiday tickets.

The ticket price is 187, but Bai Xiujuan never paid more than 100.

…

When she was in college in her previous life, Ding Wei was always afraid of holidays.

Because her way back was so crowded, no matter if she had a standing ticket or a seated ticket, she didn't even have room to move. When she sat down for 18 hours, her whole body became stiff.

Later she finally graduated.

Bai Xiujuan's unit is recruiting workers, with a salary of 800 during the internship period and a regular salary of 1,500 after one year.

As a younger employee, you can get in, but that's how it is in public institutions. No matter where you graduated, if you come as a younger employee, you still have to start from the bottom step by step.

At that time, Ding Wei had already passed several certificates and could earn close to 5,000 yuan a month just by being affiliated.

In addition, she had considerable experience in accounting and had obtained her qualification certificate, so she applied for a job at Guanshan Group, with a salary of 2,500 during the internship period and 4,500 as a full-time employee after three months.

After all, even if she has a degree from Mingzheng University, so many certificates and a salary of 4,500 are given to her, and both of them are very satisfied.

…

Girl, who doesn’t have a dream of working in a big city?

800 yuan after one year of internship and 1500 yuan after three months of internship, compared with 2500 yuan after three months of internship and 4500 yuan. Of course, the latter is more attractive.

Even if the company does not cover food and accommodation, she can still apply for a rental subsidy and catering subsidy, which is 600 yuan per month.

The good treatment of Guanshan Group is evident from this.

But at that time, Ding Wei didn't know how to hide anything. Even if she got perfect attendance every month and received a bonus, she still had to report everything to her parents in detail, so that they would be proud of her.

Including several thousand yuan for the affiliation certificate.

But then, after working for a month, Ding Wei found that her family's expenses suddenly increased.

It was popular at that time, and Bai Xiujuan did not lag behind others. The company provided benefits for rice, flour, grain and oil, but she did not have clothes, shoes, socks, pots and pans, including the fact that the solar panel at home was broken, and she wanted a gold bracelet for her birthday, etc.

Ding Wei paid it all out one by one.

At that time, she was worried about her work at work and cried bitterly late at night several times. At the same time, she was still studying hard in an attempt to improve her certificate to a higher level.

These wages, mixed with the young girl's tears and grievances, eventually turned into gifts sent home.

…

It was also in this year that Bai Xiujuan decided to retire.

And whoever instigated her, she went to her work unit to have a hard time, and was finally approved for internal dismissal. However, the retirement salary was adjusted somehow, and it was nearly 600 yuan less than those who retired during the same period, and the job level was completely lowered by one level.

She didn't care about this, but instead developed a new interest, which was to go square dancing.

Whenever I'm with those aunts and grandmothers, either you look at my gold ring, or I look at her gold necklace. The clothes from this store are from a specialty store, and that store is from a brand in a big shopping mall.

As for Ding Haiyang, it is better to retire than to retire. As he has worked longer, he has become more and more leisurely in the work unit, and he thinks about fishing every day.

Long pole, short pole, hand-held pole, umbrella bench, fish basket.

There is snow in winter and sun in summer, and sunglasses and cold-proof clothes are indispensable.

Ding Wei has more and more certificates in her hands, her salary has increased year by year, and her overtime pay has increased, but her savings have not increased.

…

Ding Wei, who came back to her senses, looked at the empty documents and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

How strange!

There was a gap of more than ten years between the memories of the two lives. Now she couldn't remember how she survived when she was in school, but she was still so impressed by the injustice she had suffered.

In the finance office, she always earns the most overtime pay, goes to bed very late every night, and it takes time to study for various certificates.

She rarely even goes shopping because she knows it is not easy to make money, so she is afraid to spend money.

In the first few years, she rarely socialized, had no savings, and didn't even have close friends. She only knew how to study and work.

If we continue like this, life will remain the same.

But during this year's holiday, Bai Xiujuan decided to introduce someone to her daughter.

What's wrong with a young girl who has only one child at home and is always wandering around outside? She needs to start a family and be tethered by the men and children at home, so that she can calm down.

He is the son of a colleague of the same company. His family owns two houses. He has an average appearance and is 1.7 meters tall. Both his parents are from the same company, and the boy is also from the equipment department of the company.
