Two days later, Wang Shou called Xia Jie to the office and announced to her the organization's arrangements, asking Xia Jie to replace Xiao Wang, who was about to give birth, and work in the household registration department.
Xia Jie was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, director."
After the decision was made, Wang Shouyi took Xia Jie directly to the household registration hall.
The household registration policewoman Sister Wang was very enthusiastic. She held her hand and smiled and said: "Xia Jie is here! I need to take maternity leave and I can't take care of it here. The director asked me to choose one of the female police officers in the station. I was the first
I’ll mention you. You are stable and have good brains in doing things. You are the most suitable person to be a household registration policeman."
Xia Jie said: "Thank you, Sister Wang."
Wang Shouyi asked with concern: "Xiao Wang, don't you still have two weeks? Use these two weeks to take care of Xia Jie. Make sure that your work in the household registration department cannot be interrupted during your maternity leave."
Sister Wang said cheerfully: "Director, don't worry. A girl like Xia Jie, who is so smart, doesn't need me to take care of her. Just get started... oh..." As she said this, she suddenly groaned, holding her belly and holding on to the table.
Wang Shouyi was startled: "Xiao Wang, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wang took a breath and said, "Ouch, I feel something is wrong. Xia Jie, hurry up and help me go to the toilet."
Xia Jie quickly helped Xiao Wang to the toilet, and soon ran out in a panic, shouting as she ran: "Hurry up and call 120, Sister Wang is going to give birth!"
Wang Shouyi couldn't laugh or cry: "What a coincidence, quickly find a car to take to the hospital!"
At noon, Li Mu and Xia Jie ate in the cafeteria together.
Li Mu asked: "Go to the household registration department? It's confirmed."
Xia Jie nodded: "Otherwise! Can I still resist the director's order? Besides, Sister Wang has gone to the hospital. There are only two auxiliary police officers there to help. If I don't go, a lot of work will not be carried out."
Li Mu said: "That's good! But there are two auxiliary police officers under me, and the internship period has not ended, so you will be the junior leader."
Xia Jie's face turned slightly red and she rolled her eyes.
"Who is the leader now?"
At this time, Cheng Hao sat down near her with a dinner plate and said, "Xia Jie, I know about your matter. If you are not satisfied, I will go find the director."
Xia Jie said: "I'm quite satisfied with the need for master. Besides, I also understand the arrangements in the institute. There really is no one more suitable than me."
Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "You have grown up, Xia Jie."
Xia Jie blinked: "What? Do you think I will refuse to obey?"
Zhao Jiwei came over and interjected: "What is this called? I told you to say goodbye for three days, and you should look at me with admiration!"
Just as he was talking, Wang Shouyi also walked into the canteen, glanced around a few times, and clapped his hands: "Don't eat yet, listen to what I have to say. What I mentioned last time is that there is no burglary for 100 days.
Action, I will emphasize a few words today.”
"Our district has been performing very well during this period, which shows that everyone has done a good job in publicity, education and prevention work. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and some petty thefts may want to commit another crime so that they can go home for the New Year. Everyone
You must be on guard."
"We must discover and deal with it early, so as to bring our special campaign of no burglary for 100 days to a successful conclusion."
Someone shouted: "Director, what will happen if we draw a successful conclusion? Is there any reward?"
Wang Shou asked: "You still want to negotiate terms with me? What if you don't get a reward? If you don't get a reward, why don't you work hard?"
Everyone burst into laughter: "You can do your best even if you don't get a reward!"
Wang Shouyi then smiled: "Perform well, and I will reward everyone even if I pay for it myself!"
Everyone laughed again: "I'm afraid your pockets are not enough."
The next day in the household registration department, several female auxiliary police officers were receiving people. Xia Jie was sitting behind a computer. As the only official police officer, any questions came to her to summarize. She is now the general person in charge of household registration.
However, although she is the person in charge, she is also a newcomer. Sister Wang said that she would take her for two weeks, but she didn’t take her for a day. She could only look up the various systems of household registration management on the computer. While reading, she wrote down and studied in a small book.
.
After a while, an auxiliary police officer came over and said: "Officer Xia, what do you think we should do about this matter? He asked to settle down. The conditions met our conditions for buying a house and settling down last year, and he also bought a house. But this year the policy was canceled
, it was changed to allow people with a college degree or above to settle down. According to this year’s policy, he doesn’t qualify, but his house was bought last year.”
Xia Jie felt a little guilty and said politely: "Sister Chen, I just came here and I haven't figured out the policy yet. How you dealt with problems like this in the past is up to you."
Sister Chen quickly said: "Hey, we don't dare to make our own decisions. Officer Xia, you are the only police officer here, so you still have to make the decision."
Xia Jie did not hesitate: "Wait a moment, I have no experience. I want to ask Officer Wang for his opinion first."
She calmly left her seat and out of everyone's sight. After making sure that no one else was around, she took out her phone and quickly dialed: "Sister Wang, has the baby been born? I have something to ask you..."
Five minutes later, Xia Jie came back: "Sister Chen, please come here."
Auxiliary police officer Sister Chen came over.
Xia Jie said: "Sister Chen, I'm not familiar with the various policies, but there is one principle that I think applies to all."
"It's an old problem with an old solution, a new problem with a new solution. His house was bought last year and it complies with last year's settlement policy, so let him settle in it."
Sister Chen was a little worried and said: "Luo? It won't violate the policy, right?"
Xia Jie smiled and said: "No, I bear the responsibility for policy violations. In fact, policies have been changed again and again, and conditions have been relaxed again and again. The central meaning is the same. It is to expand the urban population and enhance the city's competitiveness."
"Give a person who can afford to buy a house here a registered permanent residence and let him live and work here peacefully. There will be no problem. Let's settle it."
"Okay." Sister Chen promised to go back and handle it.
When she was about to get off work, Sister Chen stood in front of Xia Jie again: "Officer Xia, how do you think this matter should be handled? This old lady has been here more than a dozen times."
"What's going on?" Xia Jie looked up and saw an old lady in her seventies sitting on a waiting chair with a six or seven-year-old girl in her arms."
Sister Chen said: "This old lady's surname is Zhang. She has no children and relies on subsistence allowances and picking up rags for a living. This girl was an abandoned baby she picked up next to a trash can when she was picking up rags more than six years ago. She took this girl
The girl was raised until she was six and a half years old. Now that the girl will go to school in September, she wants to register her child."
Xia Jie thought for a while and quickly flipped through her notebook. After a while, she said, "According to the regulations, does she not comply with the settlement policy?"
Sister Chen nodded: "It does not meet the requirements. The girl does not have a birth certificate, and the two of them have not gone through formal adoption procedures. Besides, she is seventy-six years old, and there is a seventy-year age difference between them, so she does not meet the requirements for adoption.
.But the child has to go to school and cannot register without a household registration. What do you think we should do?"
Xia Jie said nothing and walked up to Mrs. Zhang. As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw her, she raised her head with hope and said, "Comrade police, I've made more than a dozen trips, can I get my daughter a registered permanent residence?"
Xia Jie looked at the little girl, who was looking at her with wide eyes. She touched the girl's hair: "Grandma, this child calls you..."
Mrs. Zhang said: "I used to call me grandma, but my comrades told me that the adoption relationship cannot be settled, so I asked her to change her name to my mother."
Then he looked at the girl affectionately and said: Bao'er, call me mom."
The girl looked at her and wanted to scream, but she opened her mouth and didn't scream. She chuckled and buried her face in her body.
Mrs. Zhang patted her gently and said, "This child, if you don't scream, you won't be able to register. Let me see what you do." Her face was full of love.
Xia Jie touched her body and took out a ballpoint pen and gave it to the girl: "Is your name Bao'er? Bao'er, my sister gave it to you. When you go to school, study hard."
Mrs. Zhang quickly said: "Bao'er, you see we meet good people everywhere. Take it quickly, thank you police sister."
Baoer happily took the pen and said, "Thank you, sister police."
Xia Jie patiently said: "Grandma, your situation is more complicated. You will definitely not be able to settle down this time. You can take your children back first and there is no need to run here again. I promise you that I will help you find the most appropriate one."
Solution."
Mrs. Zhang said worriedly: "Now I have to register my child for school. Isn't it going to delay the registration?"
Xia Jie affirmed: "I promise not. Grandma, you have a hard life, don't spend all your time running to the police station. You go home, I will help you think of a solution."
After sending them to the door, Xia Jie waved and said, "Goodbye, Bao'er!"
"goodbye!"
…
Xia Jie returned to the office and began to search for relevant information on local settlement on the Internet. Finally, she sighed and realized that the other party did not meet the requirements. Only by sending her children to an orphanage could she successfully settle in the local area.
Xia Jie was a little unwilling and went to find the director.
"Director, there is something I don't know how to solve."
Wang Shou asked: "What is?"
Xia Jie said: "There is an old lady named Zhang who adopted an abandoned baby. The baby will go to school soon, but does not have a household registration."
Ye Wei said from the side: "I know this matter. I also reported it to the director when I got up."
Wang Shou nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this.
Ye Wei said: "The old lady definitely does not meet the conditions for adopting a child, and there is no way for the child to settle down."
Xia Jie said: "But the girl will be seven years old soon. She can't go to school without a household registration."
Wang Shouyi explained: "Xia Jie, this office has begun to pay great attention to it. When the instructor goes to the bureau and the civil affairs office is visited, it is of no use. Let's not mention the difficulty of the policy. The old lady is seventy-six and the child is only six.
If she passes away in a few years, what will happen to the child?"
Xia Jie couldn't answer. The probability of this happening was very high: "Then... what should I do if the child goes to school right now?"
Wang Shouyi said: "The only way at the moment is to hand the child over to a social welfare institution."
Xia Jie was stunned: "Is it only possible to send it to an orphanage?"
Ye Wei said: "In the long run, it will be beneficial to children's healthy growth and education."
Wang Shou checked the time and said, "Xia Jie, I still have a meeting with the instructor, so I won't talk anymore."
Xia Jie felt a little depressed as she watched them leave in a hurry. She told Li Mu about the incident during lunch.
Li Mu said: "Actually, it's not bad to send him to a welfare institution."
Xia Jie glared at him: "Even you said that. That old lady is so old, it's not easy to raise Bao'er. They have a very good relationship. You sent the child to the orphanage, can you have the heart to let the two of them do it?"
separate."
Li Mu said: "Actually, what the director said makes sense. The grandmother is already so old, and the children are still so young. The family's ability to resist risks is too poor. It can't handle anything that happens, let alone apply for a household registration, and even go to school.
I can’t even get on.”
Xia Jie sighed: "What should we do?"
Li Mu said: "Actually, there is a way to allow the child to apply for a household registration without letting the two of them be separated."
Xia Jie said: "What can we do?"
Li Mu said: "Today's orphanages are different from before. There is a surrogate care model. You can send your children to the orphanage and let the grandmother take care of them."
"In this way, not only will the household registration be obtained, but the welfare home will also provide subsidies."
Xia Jie's eyes lit up: "There really is such a way!"
Li Mu said: "There should be. I might as well accompany you to the welfare home later."
Xia Jie nodded: "Okay! But before I go, I want to go to the old grandma's house first to verify the situation of her house and then see Bao'er."
Li Mu smiled: "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Xia Jie smiled sweetly.
There was just time at noon, so Li Mu accompanied Xia Jie, bought a bag of fruit and a gift box, and inquired all the way to Mrs. Zhang's house.
Mrs. Zhang lives in a large courtyard in an urban village. It is a small house squeezed in between big houses, with a small kitchen built by herself at the door.
When the two came over, the grandfather and grandson were cooking dinner, Mrs. Zhang was busy working on the pot, and Bao'er moved a small bench and sat at the door of the small kitchen, picking vegetables.
While picking, she was talking to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was so happy that she kept wiping her tears.
Xia Jie stepped forward and called: "Grandma."
As soon as Baoer saw her, he stood up quickly and said loudly: "Grandma, the police sister is here." In her own home, she was much more generous than in the household registration office.
When Mrs. Zhang saw it, she hurriedly put out the fire on the stove and took Xia Jie's hand enthusiastically: "Daughter, are you here? This is your boyfriend, he is so handsome!"
Li Mu smiled: "Hello grandma!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, okay!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Jie and said, "Have you been able to register for residence? My eyelids were twitching in the morning, and I was wondering if you would be able to come today. Do you think it's okay?"
Xia Jie didn't know how to answer, so she handed over the fruit and gift box she brought up: "Grandma, you didn't bring anything with you. You and Bao'er can eat this fruit. Here is a schoolbag and a set of stationery. Bao'er doesn't have to go to school in the summer."
That’s it.”
Mrs. Zhang said: "Bao'er, look what my sister has given you. You are such a lucky child."
Bao'er hurried to pick her up, and Mrs. Zhang gently patted her little head: "How could your mother educate you without saying thank you?"
Baoer said thank you, took it and looked at it with joy.
Xia Jie smiled and said: "It's for you, open it."
Baoer quickly took it and ran into the house.
Mrs. Zhang said: "Girl, sit in the room."
Baoer suddenly let out a cheer and ran out of the house with his new schoolbag, ecstatically saying: "Grandma, look at it, look at it!"
Mrs. Zhang gently hit her: "I told you to call me mom! If you don't call me mom, they won't let us settle down." Bao'er smiled sheepishly.
Xia Jie said: "Grandma, don't worry, there is no problem with Bao'er's household registration. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to wait, so I came to tell you."
Mrs. Zhang said happily: "Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you."
After leaving Mrs. Zhang's house, Li Mu held her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the welfare home for consultation, so you don't have to worry."
Xia Jie smiled sweetly: "Thank you for staying with me like this."
Li Mu said: "Why are you being polite to me?"
Xia Jie's cheeks were slightly red and she gave Li Mu a blank look, but she was in a beautiful mood.
