The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 6, Street Office

In the morning, Li Weiguo finished washing quickly.

He packed himself up neatly, then found his discharge certificate and medals wrapped in cloth from his luggage, and put them in his satchel. These were taken to the street office for work arrangements.

He put on the army green satchel he brought back from the army, closed the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Nanluogu Lane, where Li Weiguo is located, is under the management of Jiaodaokou Street Office. It is located in Yuer Hutong of Fuxiang Neighborhood Committee. You can go there directly.

But before you go, you need to prepare something.

After leaving the hospital gate, he walked directly towards Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative manages the supply and marketing of materials for more than 20,000 residents in Jiaodaokou Street. Of course, there are also smaller non-staple food stores in each neighborhood committee below.

However, these non-staple food stores were about the same size as the canteens of later generations. In-demand materials were often out of stock. Li Weiguo did not want to try his luck, so he went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a small three-story building with a store on the first floor, offices on the second and third floors, and a building behind it, which is used as a warehouse.

Walking in, the business area on the first floor is about more than 100 square meters. Inside the store, there is a long row of counters more than two meters away from the wall. Behind the counters are shelves and goods.

Due to the shortage of materials in this era, supply and marketing cooperatives separated people and goods. They used counters to separate customers and goods. You could buy whatever was available. Unlike later generations of shopping malls and stores, you could choose whatever you wanted. touch.

He walked to the counter and said, "Comrade, please help me get 1 pound of fruit candy and a can of milk powder."

"Fruit candy costs two yuan and seventy pounds, and you need a ticket; milk powder costs five yuan a can, and you need a ticket." The salesperson said lazily.

These days, the salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives are generally big-name, and they don't care about their service attitude. They take out the money and tickets from their pockets and hand them over: "Excuse me, here are the money and tickets."

The salesperson took the money note and immediately issued him a note. Then he put the money note into the drawer and turned around to prepare the goods for him.

After waiting for a few minutes, the things were brought over and packed in mesh bags.

After picking up his things, Li Weiguo looked at the direction and walked towards Fuxiang Community.

It took half an hour to walk. Without a bicycle, it was like returning to primitive society. It was inconvenient to go out and do anything, and it took a long time to walk.

When we arrived at Fuxiang Community, we made many twists and turns and asked a few passers-by before we found the office building of the subdistrict office.

It is a three-story building and covers a quite large area.

When I entered, I handed a cigarette to the doorman. The doorman was very serious and responsible. He took Li Weiguo's ID and confirmed it carefully before taking his cigarette.

"Uncle, I am from No. 95 Nanluogu Lane. I am reporting back from the army. Who do you think I should go to in which house?"

The uncle took the cigarette, took out a match and lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "On the first floor, see Section Chief Wang from the Social Affairs Management Section."

"Okay, thank you, uncle." After thanking the uncle, Li Weiguo walked inside.

Walking into the first service hall, looking around, I saw the office on the right with the name of Social Affairs Management Section, and next to it was the section chief's small office.

I walked to the small office and knocked on the door. I heard a man's voice answer before I opened the door and walked into the office.

The office is not big, just over ten square meters, with a table and a few chairs. Sitting there was a middle-aged man in his forties with gentle eyes, looking up at him.

"you are?"

"Hello, Chief Wang, I am Li Weiguo from No. 95 Nanluogu Lane. I have completed my three-year military service and have been demobilized. According to the resettlement plan when I left the army, please let me report to you at the sub-district office first."

Section Chief Wang nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I understand. Where are your IDs? Bring them all."

Li Weiguo immediately took out his ID, discharge certificate, acceptance certificate and medal from his bag and handed them to Section Chief Wang.

Section Chief Wang took the certificate and looked at it, oh, corporal squad leader, and asked doubtfully: "You are already a squad leader and have medals, why did you choose to retire?"

Li Weiguo explained: "Some time ago, my father passed away, and I hurried back to take care of the funeral arrangements. Since my military service expired, I simply retired from the army. Now that there is peace, there are no opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so I returned to the place to contribute to the construction of the country." Licking bricks and adding tiles."

"Okay, I feel good. Sit down, don't stand." Section Chief Wang said with a smile.

"Thank you, section chief."

Li Weiguo thanked him, walked to the desk and sat down. He took out the prepared candies and milk powder from his bag and put them on the chair next to him.

Section Chief Wang glanced at it, and based on his long-term experience, he could tell that it was milk powder cans and candies, um, very scarce supplies.

"Well, all the documents and documents are complete. Then, you can follow me to the police station to register your household registration. Let them handle the grain and non-staple food books here first. After I take you to complete the work, we can collect them when we come back."

"Okay, thank you very much, Section Chief Wang, for your hard work."

"Okay, come with me."

With that said, he took Li Weiguo to take the certificate to the big office next to him to make a copy, and then wrote another document and put it in the file, and then he took Li Weiguo to the police station.

Not far away, a few minutes' walk, we entered the courtyard of the police station near the street. Section Chief Wang took Li Weiguo into the household registration office. The household registration police took the personal information, checked it a few times, confirmed it was correct, and asked him to wait.

Because he was the only one left in Li Wei's country, he could just move back to his original household, so the procedure was simple. Section Chief Wang smiled and walked into the director's office next to him. After a few minutes, when he came out, the director took them to find the household registration. police.

With his strong leadership, he was quick to do things. All the procedures were completed in three clicks and two in two clicks, and he got his household registration book in no time.

After finishing the work here, I followed Section Chief Wang back to the street office.

When I returned to the street office, the food and non-staple food books had been prepared.

Take the grain book and non-staple food book and carefully put them in your bag. This is the lifeblood of any family. The urban household registration book provides rations and non-staple food. If it is lost or broken, it will be very troublesome to replace it.

Back at Section Chief Wang's office, Section Chief Wang took out some documents from the drawer and looked at them. Then he said to Li Weiguo: "As for your job issue, in accordance with the relevant resettlement regulations, the sub-district office will give you several job options for you to choose. We will issue a job introduction letter to you, and you will bring your ID and introduction letter." Go directly to the relevant unit to join.”

"Currently there are several jobs here on the street: the first one is the security guard of the Red Star Mechanical Repair Branch. Although the Mechanical Repair Branch is not high-level, it is also a formal unit, and the security guards are also regular workers when they join the job."

"The second one is a pastry worker in a food factory. Jobs in food factories are in very short supply. Whenever there is a vacancy, everyone is rushing to get it. The third one is a security guard at the Red Star Rolling Mill."

"There are only these few jobs available at the moment. You should think about it first."

Li Weiguo thought for a while, without hesitation, and said immediately: "Chief Wang, I will choose the security guard of the steel rolling mill. Our college is the steel rolling mill workers' college, and the uncles in the college are all in the steel rolling mill. We can have mutual understanding after entering the factory." Help."

Section Chief Wang nodded and expressed understanding: "Well, that's fine." As he said that, he took out a form from the drawer and began to write a job introduction letter to Li Weiguo.

After a while, Section Chief Wang skillfully took out a seal, stamped it on the letter of introduction, blew on the wet watermark on it, and handed it directly to Li Weiguo.

He also warned: "Go and report tomorrow. You have to hurry up. There are a lot of unemployed young people at home now, all waiting for work. Other companies will not always wait for our letters of introduction, so hurry up and register and complete the work." Let’s talk later.”

Li Weiguo thanked him: "Okay, thank you, Section Chief Wang."

After finishing the work, Li Weiguo thanked Section Chief Wang for a few words and stood up to leave. As for the things he brought, he left them on the chair next to his desk.
