Break out of the courtyard

"Don't brag with me!" Director Wang waved his hand to drive people away, "After the matter is done, come back and tell me!"

"Okay!" Zhang Heping put the documents and marriage certificate into his backpack and said goodbye: "Aunt Wang, thank you! When I get them back, I will give you some wedding candies!"

Director Wang had just put his hands on his forehead, then moved his right hand away and waved it. He had a big head and didn't want to speak.

When Ma Xiuzhen saw her son coming out, she hurriedly chased him and asked him why he was back today.

Zhang Heping briefly told his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, the situation outside the subdistrict office, then rode his bicycle home, picked up some mountain goods from Banna and four strips of bacon, and went to find his father-in-law, Tang Ming, who had been reinstated.

After giving the wild products and bacon to Tang Ming's friend, Zhang Heping pulled the father-in-law outside the door, first returned him the household registration book, letter of introduction and other information, then took out the marriage certificate and said:

"Dad, the director of the sub-district office issued a marriage certificate to me first, but has not registered it for me and Axin for the time being to avoid affecting my future application to study in Japan."

When Tang Ming heard that it was not included in the file, he knew that their relationship would have to be kept secret for a while. He couldn't help frowning and taking a look at the marriage certificate, "Why did the director help you hide the marriage? Is it reliable?"

"We have been friends for more than ten years and can be trusted."

"When do you plan to send back this marriage certificate?"

When else can I send it?

Naturally, the sooner the better, lest the stinky bitch Tang Xin become suspicious, and Chen Shuting is the most sensitive during pregnancy. If there is a quarrel between them, the family will be uneasy.

For example, fireworks, firecrackers...

As for their older brother, with a score below 200... I don’t know if there is a chance for the second batch of recruitment.

After Zhang Heping returned home, he was questioned again by his mother Ma Xiuzhen. After reading the two red marriage certificates, the matter came to an end for the time being.

When the two families learned that Zhang Heping was back, they came here to express their gratitude, lest Zhang Heping disappeared again.

"I asked about Courtyard No. 8 next door, but I never thought about Courtyard No. 11!" Ma Xiuzhen frowned and said, "It is definitely possible to change it. It's the condition that Director Qi will open. Are you sure?"

Therefore, it is better to let Tang Ming, the father-in-law, stay at his friend's house. Anyway, he will return to Hong Kong Island after the meeting.

However, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so there is no rush for this day.

The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. It is not good to live with the in-laws!

After returning home, Zhang Heping asked his parents to watch the nephews set off firecrackers while he prepared dinner.

Not long after, the eldest sister's parents-in-law also came over with Chang Wumei. This girl scored 289 points and received an admission notice from the Capital Institute of Geology.

If Tang Xin and the others come back, there will be no place to live...

That night, the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi was worried about the tenants in the east and west wings of Courtyard No. 6 next door. She didn't know how long they would stay there.

Currently, mother Ma Xiuzhen and her granddaughters Chang Wen and Zhang Ting live in the east wing; father Zhang Bing and his grandchildren Zhang Yi, Chang Le, Chang Xing and Chang Qing live in the main house; Zhang Heping lives in the east gate room next to the toilet. .

The next day on New Year's Eve, the eldest sister and the second sister were working overtime. Zhang Heping accompanied his mother to buy a mess of new year's goods, because during the New Year, some products were free of charge and there were a lot of people rushing to buy them.

Zhang Heping thought about the current policy, then turned to his mother and said: "Mom, the two-in-one courtyard next to the Houhai Subdistrict Office was collapsed by the earthquake and has not been repaired for more than a year. When you have time, ask Director Qi if you can fix it. Get a house instead.”

Because their third daughter, Zhou Chengchen, received the admission notice from Shancheng Normal College the day before yesterday, with a total score of 216.

In particular, there is a big identity gap between the two parties, and there is no buffer between Zhang Heping, his wife, and their children. Living together can easily lead to discord, which can lead to discord between the couple.

As for lunch, it’s just simple frozen dumplings.

Although the purchase quantity of those products that do not require tickets is limited, you can still buy enough if you queue a few times.

Zhang Heping explained briefly, and then asked his father-in-law Tang Ming if he wanted to go to his house to celebrate the Spring Festival. When he saw that he shook his head and refused, saying that there was a reception at the Great Hall, Zhang Heping went back.

In the afternoon, Aunt Chen, who has retired from the Zhou family, and Uncle Zhou, who came back from Western Xinjiang for vacation, brought Sister Zhou and her grandchildren over to thank Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping said dissatisfied: "He asks for 100 recruitment quotas. Where can I get them for him?"

"It's my fault for being too talkative. I shouldn't have told those red-sleeved aunts about your request for orders in exchange for factory quotas." Ma Xiuzhen felt a little embarrassed.

"It's been so long, Director Qi should have asked clearly about the cause and effect. Ask him again and see what he says."

February 1978, 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the morning.

The second sister Zhang Pandi, the second brother-in-law Zhang Yong, and the eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng are all on vacation. Only the hard-working eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi has to be on duty with the finance department.

Zhang Heping carried his luggage bag and went to the train station with his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi to catch the early morning express train 15 heading south.

Because there were fewer people traveling in the first and second grades of junior high school, it only took 48 hours to reach Huadu this time.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Kowloon Tong.

When Zhang Heping showed the two marriage certificates to Tang Xin, the stinky bitch, he told her the reason why the marriage information had not been filed for the time being.

"Have father-in-law and mother-in-law seen our marriage certificate?" Tang Xin's focus was obviously not on the same channel as Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping smiled and said: "I've seen it! They are worrying about your accommodation when you return."

"What a big problem!" Tang Xin frowned and said depressedly: "My dad wrote a letter saying that we couldn't get back the three-bedroom courtyard house we had in the capital."

"Let's not talk about this first. Let's go upstairs first and fulfill the promise you made before that anything is possible. Hehe..."

When the little wife Chen Shuting heard this, she held her 7-month-old belly and followed her upstairs with a smirk on her face...

After Zhang Heping took a shower, he helped Chen Shuting back to the first floor, sat on the sofa, and began to read recent newspapers.

As for the eldest wife Tang Xin, she was sleeping in bed.

"The price of gold has been slowly falling from 11 magnesium yuan per ounce in November last year, and is currently 168 magnesium yuan." Chen Shuting, sitting to the left of Zhang Heping as always, reported the information she knew in a soft voice.

Zhang Heping quickly scanned the contents of the newspaper, looking for news of interest, and asked: "Have you discovered the reason for this wave of gold decline?"

Chen Shuting smiled and said: "It should be related to the recent interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Their short-term interest rate has increased from 5% last year to 9%, and some magnesium dollars have withdrawn from the gold market."

"Well!" Zhang Heping changed a newspaper, "How much further do you think the price of gold will drop?"

Chen Shuting thought for a while and said: "Currently, 1 magnesium dollar is worth 4.7 Hong Kong dollars. Although the magnesium dollar has depreciated, the expectations have not been met; the high inflation and economic stagnation in the Stars and Stripes Alliance and the Eagle Alliance have not eased, but the Magnesium Federal Reserve has repeatedly Interest rate hike…”

When Zhang Heping saw that Chen Shuting had no words to say, he smiled and said, "Does it look like you are holding back your fist, preparing to charge up a blow?"

"father!"

The eldest son Zhang Bei, who ran to play in Villa No. 7 down the slope, ran back with a few game cassettes, followed by the two grandsons of his second uncle Tang Yi's family.

"Happy New Year to my aunt! Happy New Year to my aunt!"

"Everything is fine!" Zhang Heping said, taking out two red envelopes and handing them over.

The brat Zhang Bei turned on the color TV, skillfully plugged in the game console line, and started playing games with his two nephews.

Zhang Heping thought they were noisy, so he only read the newspaper and ignored his wife Chen Shuting.

As dinner time approached, Zhang Heping went upstairs to pull up his eldest wife Tang Xin, who was lying in bed, and then went to Villa No. 8 for dinner.

Because the mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng was there, the eldest uncle Tang Ren and the second uncle Tang Yi rushed back. As for the third sister Tang Si who had never met in Taiwan, she didn't know why she couldn't come over.

During the dinner, after Xu Jiefeng asked Zhang Heping about the food and accommodation situation of his wife Tang Ming, a junior couldn't help but interrupt.

"Uncle, I remember you applied for a patent for the Famicom, right?"
