Chapter 63 Section 4

As if sensing her anxiety from a distance, J State sent an e-mail in a very timely manner. It was from Ms. Cooper, saying that she was hired. The title is a biostatistician. What is the annual salary , the earliest time I can start working is mid-January next year, the moving fee is 1,500, etc.If she accepts this job, please reply an email as soon as possible, so that they can mail her the acceptance letter and some materials; if she does not accept this job, please reply as soon as possible, and please send all the expenses reimbursed for the last on-site interview to the following Address, etc.

When she saw it, she was ecstatic, and immediately replied an email, incoherently expressing her willingness to accept the job, and thanked Ms. Cooper and others. Ms. Cooper understood her joy very well, and didn't care about her madness, and returned a smiling face to her. She called her sister: "Sister, I got a job in J State!" "congratulations!" "You're right, they really don't care about gender, age and physical condition." "When do you start working?" "They said that the earliest is mid-January next year. Does that mean that it can only be late, not early?"

"It should be like this, but go to work early and rest assured, and try to get there in mid-January. In a few days, I will help you find a house. How much is your annual salary? I know what kind of house to look for. " She told her annual salary, and couldn't restrain her excitement and said, "Wow, so much money! I've never received so much money!" "This is just the starting salary for your title, and it will be more when you get promoted." "I'm so happy. I just started working, and I'm almost catching up with Xiaoman's salary. He is the leader of the scientific research project."

"The area is different. If he comes, his annual salary should be higher. How about, is he going to come? If he also comes, you can consider buying a house here. But if he doesn't come here for a while, it's not suitable to buy a house now." .” "I asked him some time ago that he didn't want to go to J state with me. I don't know if he will change his mind now." "Will Ding Ding come with you?" "Of course, I will take Tintin with me wherever I go." "Then I'll check the situation of the school first, find a good school, and then look for a house nearby."

"Thank you." She also told her daughter the news: "Ding Ding, Mom has found a job in J State, and she will go to work next year. Would you like to go with Mom?" The daughter seemed shocked: "J state? I don't know anyone." "I've known each other in the past. When you first came to the United States, didn't you know no one? Don't you know a lot of people now? My aunt is also there, only two or three hours away from us. I can go to my aunt's house every weekend to play." Ding Ding thought of being able to play with his cousins ​​every week, and immediately became happy: "I want to go!"

The mother and daughter went to the Internet to search for information about K City, J State. They looked at the school and the apartment, and they were very happy. Tintin kept calling "I like this school!" "I like this house!" I want to go to this school!" "I want to live in this house!" Then eagerly asked: "Mom, when are we going there?" "Hurry up, go as soon as school starts next year." "Is Dad going?" "He may not go for the time being, because his work here cannot leave." Ding Ding didn't seem to care much about whether his father would go or not. After asking, he didn't continue to inquire.

She wanted to ask her husband if he would like to go to J state. After asking clearly, she could tell her sister, but she didn't know when he would come home, so she had to call him. He didn't seem very excited or surprised, and said lightly: "Did you get the written notice?" "Not yet, it's email." "Emails are useless, only written notice counts." "Lu Ping didn't have any written notification at all, not even an email notification. He just made a few phone calls. Did he get a job differently?" "What kind of broken unit is she?"

"They said they would send me a written notice right away." "That will not count until you get it." The cold water he poured on her made her whole body cold, and she immediately became worried, afraid that she would announce the good news everywhere so early, but in the end Jzhou would change her mind, and that would be a big joke.Although she always felt that such a large institution would not engage in such inconsequences, how did she know that this was not the result of Ms. Cooper's insanity? She heard Xiao Wen asking in Chinese from the side: "Boss, did Miss Ding get the job in J State?"

Then came the husband's disdainful voice: "It's just an email notification, the official notification hasn't been received yet." "Let me say a few words to Sister Ding." So Xiao Wen's loud voice came from the microphone: "Sister Ding, you got a job in J State? Congratulations! You are really amazing!" She imitated her husband's tone and said: "It's just an e-mail notification, and the written notification hasn't been received yet." "Even if you get the email notification, the written notification is only a few days late. By the way, I want to ask you, with my background, is it possible to be admitted to your major for a master's degree?"

"Do you want to change majors?" "Well, our major is so boring. I stay in the laboratory all day, and I don't have a chance to wear any good clothes. The working hours are long and the salary is low. It's really not a woman's job." She heard Xiaowen's tone that she really wanted to change her major, so she immediately enthusiastically introduced what courses to make up, how much GRE TOEFL score, which professors to ask for a recommendation letter, and so on. Xiao Wen listened attentively and asked for a few words from time to time. The two talked very harmoniously for a long time, but it was not until she hung up the phone that she remembered that she forgot to ask her husband if he was willing to be transferred, so she had to call again. past.

The husband's tone was a little impatient: "What's the matter?" "I forgot to ask you just now, would you like to go to J State with me?" "Didn't you ask earlier?" "I asked the question a long time ago, and you have answered it long ago, but I didn't get a job at that time, and it's understandable that you don't want to go there. Now I got a job..." He interrupted her: "I've already said, before you get the written notice, you don't get the job." She hung up the phone angrily, and immediately called her sister: "Don't worry about Xiaoman, help me find an apartment over there." "He doesn't want to come?" She recounted the conversation she had with her husband just now, and her sister said comfortingly: "He may still not believe that you can get this job. Wait a few days and ask him after you get the written notice." She also explained the conversation with Xiao Wen, and explained: "It's because I talked to her about changing my major, so I forgot to ask about the real thing." My sister said: "It's good for Xiao Wen to go back to study, and he won't stay in Xiao Man's laboratory." She hadn't thought of it just now, but when her sister mentioned it, she also thought it was good news.As the saying goes, as soon as people leave, the tea cools down. Laboratory love, like office love, is a relationship born in a certain environment. In a closed environment, there are only a few people, tied to a project, and meet every day. Together every day, it is easy to have a sense of intimacy.Once separated, the unhealthy love seedlings will easily wither. I wish Xiao Wen could go to a farther place to study, the farther the better. Within a few days, Ding Yi received the employment notice from J State, as well as a brochure introducing the unit. When she saw the pictures in the brochure, she seemed to have returned to the day of the interview. Everything was so familiar. So kind.The difference is that at that time she went to the interview with trepidation, but now she can proudly say: This is where I work! She was so excited that she wished to announce the good news to the whole world, but in the end she only told those who cared about her and helped her, such as her sister, mentor, parents, Lu Ping, and a few comparisons in China. Hardcore friends and more.Everyone was happy for her and congratulated her. Some people who didn't understand the situation in the United States thought she had gone to a prestigious school to become a professor, and they were so impressed that they kept calling her "Professor Ding" and said that they would send their children to her in the future. Go to her to read.She didn't bother to explain, she just laughed. She called her husband and told him excitedly: "I got the written notice!" "What written notice?" "It's the job in J State!" He is still indifferent: "Oh, that's good." "you are not happy?" "It's not that I got the job." "Not you, but your wife, aren't you happy?" "What's so happy? A wife is a wife, and I am me." "You can also go to J state to find a job. Lu Ping's husband is looking for a job in H state." "I said a long time ago that I would not go to J state." "Back then you didn't know I could get the job, but now I do..." He interrupted her: "Okay, we have already agreed on this matter, I don't want to say more." She was extremely wronged: "Could it be that we live in two places like this?" "What's the difference between the two places?" She really didn't understand what he was talking about. If he meant that they slept in separate rooms and had no sex life, it was only temporary, because she had just had an operation, and the doctor ordered that she should not have intercourse for six to eight weeks, but How can this be related to the separation of the two places? She said puzzledly, "I really don't know what you mean." "It's fine if you don't know." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. She was stunned. What did this man mean?Could it be that he is giving her an ultimatum, asking her to make a decision between her work in J state and him?This is too overbearing, why should the family reunion be predicated on her sacrifice?Why do women have to choose between work and family? Hmph, who are you scaring?If you don’t follow, then don’t follow, I don’t believe that the earth won’t turn without you, maybe it will turn even faster! Before she got angry, she called her sister: "This time, really leave him alone, help me find a house in K City, just find a one-bedroom and one living room." "Xiao Man isn't planning to come over?" She explained the theory of the phone call with her husband just now, and the elder sister said: "I'd better find you a two-bedroom apartment first. One is that two bedrooms and one living room are not much more expensive than one bedroom and one living room. Second, I am afraid that he will sit down suddenly." I wanted to turn around on the mill, and I wanted to follow, but you signed a one-bedroom lease at that time, and it was inconvenient to move out halfway." She thought that her daughter was used to living in one room alone here, and it might not be comfortable to share a room with her mother over there, so she agreed: "Then let's have two rooms and one living room, and you will have a place to live when you come to play. "
