When Chu Qianqian saw that Liu Yifa still wanted to test himself, he cursed in his mind and shook his head, "Forget it if you rent the east wing. After I marry a wife and have children, if you suddenly come back to collect the house and take it back, I will be blinded.
Since you won’t sell it, I’ll go to the Street Records Department tomorrow to check if there are any suitable houses in this area before selling them.”
Liu Yifa couldn't hold back anymore. If Chu Xiangqian checked the files, he might be able to find out that his family bought a small yard in Maoer Hutong in the name of his youngest son.
"Wait a minute," Liu Yifa suppressed his uneasiness and asked, pretending to be hesitant, "Comrade Chu, if you really want to buy it, how much can you offer?"
Since Chu Xiangqian has Liu Yifa in his grasp, he will naturally not give a high price, but he cannot lower the price too much.
After thinking about it, I signed up for ‘400’.
Liu Yifa subconsciously wanted to discuss the price again, but there was a difference of one or two hundred from the price he expected.
Liao Wenfang agreed, "Okay, Lao Liu and I originally planned to go to the northwest a year ago so that we could be more proactive and apply for a better house.
And the sooner the work is implemented, the sooner you can feel at ease.”
Liu Yifa was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
This is not the time to be verbose at all. The house was sold to Chu Xiangqian, so he would not check the files.
I can also find a way to transfer my family's files from the street and take them to the northwest for filing due to job changes.
When I return to the capital in the future, I will take the files placed in the northwest and return to the capital.
Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, "Then let's go through the formalities tomorrow?"
Liu Yifa nodded, "Okay, we will go through the transfer tomorrow morning. However, Comrade Chu, my price is indeed a bit low, so I want to ask you for a favor."
Chu Xiangqian nodded hesitantly, and then heard Liu Yifa say, "I am anxious to go to the northwest to contribute to the country, so I would like to ask you to introduce me to the leaders of your street archives.
If we retrieve our family's files as soon as possible, I can also apply for letters of introduction for my two children, and the files will also be used for the transfer of ownership."
Chu Xiangqian would not say that he was familiar with Xue Hongmei, who was in charge of the files in the street, and said in a pretentious manner, "Then you go to the work unit to issue a certificate early tomorrow morning, and we will go to the street to retrieve the files and transfer the ownership."
Liu Yifa nodded hurriedly.
Before Chu Qianqian left, he saw a pair of mud-covered rubber shoes at the door of the east wing.
With a thought in mind, I pretended to tie my shoelaces and took a rubber shoe into Novice Village.
After letting Da Zhuang and Hong Niu smell the rubber shoes, they immediately put them back to where they were.
After he left, Liao Wenfang asked with a worried look, "Master, are you really sure that Chu Qianqian doesn't know about the courtyard in Mao'er Hutong?"
At this point, Liu Yifa was actually not completely sure.
But think about it carefully, if Chu Qianqian knew that there was a treasure hidden in Maoer Alley, he might as well have secretly taken it out himself.
Even if I know it by then, I won’t dare to tell anyone.
I even discovered that the baby was missing, and I don’t know how many years later it was.
"Wenfang, are we scaring ourselves?"
Liao Wenfang was stunned. This guess was really not impossible.
But then I thought, "Master, don't worry about it, you can't leave the files on the street anymore. We can't let the person named Chu go to the street to check the files because he didn't buy the east wing room.
Maybe this kid has a grudge and will go out of his way to look at our family's files.
When the time comes, there’s no guarantee that he won’t suspect something wrong with us because we secretly used Guodong’s name to buy the yard in Maoer Hutong.”
Liu Yifa sighed after thinking about it, "Forget it, it's better to leave."
Liao Wenfang also nodded. If this continues, the couple might be driven crazy by the treasure.
Chu Qianqian left Liu Yifa's house, thought about it, and went directly to the third uncle's house.
I already have 3 gold bars and 792 yuan in my hand, which is enough to buy the east wing.
But in order to avoid some trouble, it is better to borrow some money.
When Yan Fugui saw that it was Chu Qianqian who came to the door, he felt uneasy at first.
Yan Jiecheng was also worried that Chu Xiangqian would cause trouble for him because the streets were not clean.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care what Yan Jiecheng thought, and said to him, "Jiecheng, go and invite the second uncle from the backyard. I'll see him and the third uncle if I have something to do.
By the way, my performance today was pretty good and I will work hard to maintain it in the future."
Yan Fugui's family breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Jiecheng nodded quickly, put on his cotton-padded jacket and ran to the backyard.
Not long after, Liu Haizhong came to the door with a worried look on his face and said, "Xiao Chu, are my Guangtian and Guangfu lazy when sweeping the street today?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and waved his hand, and then said to the third aunt, "Third aunt, you take Xie Cheng and the others into the house. The third uncle, the second uncle, and I have some words that we don't want the children to hear."
The third aunt looked at Yan Fugui and saw that Lao Yan nodded, then drove all four children into the side room.
But I took the opportunity to pour water and sat aside without moving.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and whispered to Liu Haizhong and Yan Laozhao, "Today I asked my section chief and the chief of the administrative office about recruiting someone to patrol with me.
I didn’t expect it because I didn’t say at the beginning whether I wanted to recruit one person or two people.
My section chief and office chief actually took the initiative to give me two quotas for non-staff personnel.
From now on, if you patrol with me every day, you will get no salary, but you will be able to have a meal at the street cafeteria.
It’s 2 taels of meal stamps and 2 taels of vegetable stamps every day. After all, it’s about five or six yuan a month.”
Liu Haizhong was still calculating silently in his mind, but Yan Fugui shook his head after hearing this, "This is wrong, Xiao Chu, 30 days a month, 6 pounds of staple food and 6 pounds of vegetables.
Even if you go to the pigeon market to buy it, it won’t cost more than five yuan.”
"Yes, yes," Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, "The price of stick noodles has increased a lot in the past few days. Even if it costs 3 cents a pound, it is only 18 yuan.
As for 6 pounds of vegetables, they are even worthless."
Chu Qianqian smiled slightly, "But what if you can eat stewed fish or braised wild boar meat with chestnuts every three days?"
"This,,."
Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and the three aunts all opened their mouths in surprise.
Secretly, the food in your street is so good?
But I remembered that Chu Xiangqian got a big wild boar and three hares yesterday.
It’s strange that the canteen on this street doesn’t serve meat.
There are also streets that plan to distribute wild boar meat to the poor, orphans, widows, and military security guards in the area. They will eat something in the workplace canteen, and even the district and the city have no control over this matter.
An idea suddenly came to my mind.
And since Chu Xiangqian said it, of course he would ask Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong for money even for this extra-staff job.
Yan Fugui immediately made a calculation in his mind. Even if he eats it once every five days, as long as he takes it home, it will be 1 catty and 2 taels of chestnut braised pork.
This is a public-private joint venture restaurant, with a minimum of 1.5 yuan, plus 1 pound of meat coupons.
If this happens once every three days, that is 2 pounds of chestnut braised pork, and then my family will be able to eat meat every day from now on.
He hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, you came to me and Lao Liu because you planned to leave this job to our two families?"
Liu Haizhong and the third aunt's eyes lit up.
Chu Qianqian nodded, "Second uncle, third uncle, I have something going on at home and I need money. I would like to borrow 200 from you, how about it?"
Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui and the third aunt couldn't help but cursed when they heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to borrow money.
This is not borrowing at all. It is obviously using borrowing money as an excuse to come and ask for benefits.
However, Yan Fugui is an old man after all.
He is good at calculations. If he thinks about it carefully, it is not impossible to discuss this matter.
"Xiao Chu, how long can you guarantee that me and the boys from the old Liu family will work as non-staff personnel?"
Liu Haizhong also reacted.
These days, if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, let alone chestnut braised pork.
If Chu Xiangqian can guarantee that his child will be a child for two years, he will make a profit.
But if it’s less than one and a half years, it’s a loss.
Chu Xiangqian had already made plans in his mind.
"Five yuan a month for lunch is not too much, right?"
Yan Fugui nodded. When Liu Haizhong saw this, he naturally believed that Yan Fugui was an expert in calculations.
Nod along.
Chu Xiangqian then continued, "I will borrow 100 yuan from each of you, and I will set up an IOU. From now on, I will repay 5 yuan every month for 21 months.
The extra 5 yuan is considered as interest, but I won’t give you money every month. Instead, I will ask your two boys to follow me to the street canteen for a bite.
If something happens during the 21 months. For example, if your two boys are fired after ten months, then I will pay you back 11 months, which is 55 yuan."
Liu Haizhong agreed as soon as he heard it, but Yan Fugui hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Chu Xiangqian's credibility, but he is worried that Chu Xiangqian will not be able to maintain his position for 21 months as a temporary worker.
Chu Xiangqian took out his work permit from his pocket without hiding it.
By the way, I would also like to take this opportunity to tell this courtyard house that I am now a full-time employee.
As long as you don't make a principled mistake, the street cannot fire you.
Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong saw that Chu Xiangqian not only became a formal employee, but also a level 9 clerk with a salary of 30 yuan.
I felt sour and envious in my heart.
But this also made them both feel relieved.
When Liu Haizhong went home to get the money, Yan Fugui had already asked the third aunt to give him 100 yuan.
Of course there are banks these days, but don’t expect to change the minds of ordinary people just 10 years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
In the hearts of many people, they have long been frightened by the chaotic currency and credit situation of the Republic of China.
Of course, you can rest assured if you keep the money in your own hands and hide it at home.
If there is a thief in the yard, he will never be punished casually like in the TV series.
Therefore, Chu Xiangqian never believed that Jia Zhang dared to commit petty theft in the courtyard.
If this happens, the custodian Jia Zhang will be driven back to the countryside.
Yan Fugui used Chu Xiangqian to count the money and took the opportunity to ask, "Xiao Chu, why did you borrow 200 yuan?"
Chu Xiangqian chuckled, "Of course it's for big things."
Yan Fugui was immediately taken astray by his words.
And buying a house is naturally considered a big deal.
I secretly thought, is this kid planning to give money to the leader in order to become a cadre?
Chu Xiangqian put the money into his pocket, no matter how much Yan Fugui tried, he just couldn't tell the truth.
As for why we have to borrow money.
One thing is that I don’t want to give the work of the two non-staff members, Yan Jia and Liu Haizhong, to nothing.
Moreover, as for borrowing money, wait until the east wing is transferred.
When someone asked, he said that he asked his second uncle and his third uncle borrowed the money.
In addition to the money left by my biological father and the 200 borrowed from the Yan and Liu families, I bought the east wing.
Not only can it silence the mouths of residents in the courtyard, but no one will gossip on the other side of the street.
Chu Qianqian was impatient at being asked, and asked with a smile, "Third uncle, is your second son Jiefang still studying?"
"Read it," Yan Fugui said with a proud expression on his face.
"Three uncles, although my salary is not high, I still know the importance of studying. Even if I grit my teeth, I will still provide for my four children to study."
Now Chu Xiangqian had to admire Yan Fugui.
But considering that no one in Lao Yan’s family seems to be promising, naturally no one has studied well.
"What about the results of liberation?"
The smile on Yan Fugui's face suddenly disappeared.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
After saying that, Yan Laozhao reacted.
Chu Xiangqian planned to hand over non-staff errands to his second-in-command instead of offending his boss Yan Jiecheng.
"Moving forward, I will turn 18 after the Chinese New Year, so I can't give him this job?"
Chu Xiangqian naturally refused, but he couldn't say it so straightforwardly, lest everyone lose face.
"Third uncle, it is precisely because Jie Cheng will be 18 during the Chinese New Year. Instead of letting him have a meal with me, you might as well find him a temporary job.
But Jiefang is different. Since he is young, following me is like learning a craft.
After two or three years, he himself became familiar with the street. At that time, when the street had quotas for temporary workers, he would definitely be thought of first.
And Jie Cheng should be promoted from temporary worker to apprentice worker.
By then, your family will have three workers. With half of the salary and all the food rations paid by your two sons, your family will be comfortable."
Yan Fugui and the third aunt will settle accounts.
If you think about it carefully, it's exactly what Chu Xiangqian said.
The most important thing is that Yan Jiefang's academic performance is worse than Yan Jiechengdu.
This kid might not even make it to high school.
In this case, it is better to go out to work early.
Don’t eat and drink for nothing at home.
But in this way, Yan Jiecheng's work will be solved by himself.
Moreover, Yan Jiecheng cannot escape from cleaning alleys, public toilets, and garbage dumps.
As for Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong knew that it was Liu Guangtian who got this job without even thinking about it.
After Liu Haizhong came back, he handed Chu Qianqian 100 yuan and asked, "Xiao Chu, if you have a chance, you can help my family Guangtian to establish connections. When he becomes a temporary worker on the street, the second uncle will give you 100 yuan as a thank you." Yan Fugui wished he could slap himself.
I was just thinking wildly and never thought of directly asking for temporary employment.
He said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Xiao Chu, the price offered by temporary workers outside is 100, and the third uncle will also give you this price."
Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to mention Qin Huairu's job of sweeping the streets.
Of course, he will not mention Qin Huairu.
"Today, when I went to the neighborhood committee to verify the list of our Nanluogu Lane, military security, orphaned elderly and poor households, I heard Director Wang say that the neighborhood committee planned to recruit temporary workers to sweep the streets.
I just heard that priority should be given to poor households, and it is best to be a woman who has nothing to do at home. Director Wang said that such housewives are attentive and will cherish this opportunity.
Don’t worry about recruiting a kid into the neighborhood committee. If you don’t clean up the committee, you won’t be able to do it, and if you don’t keep everything safe, you’ll stop working.”
