Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Ding ding ding..."

A rapid car bell sounded from far away, and the people playing at the door looked up.

When Yan Bugui saw the person riding a bicycle, he immediately put on a smiling face and went to greet him.

"Secretary Liu, you haven't come to our courtyard for a long time. Do you have any new instructions today?"

"Old Yan, I have something to do today. Let's go to your room and talk."

Fearing that the person involved would feel embarrassed, Secretary Liu chose to go inside to talk.

"Okay, wife, go get a glass of water first. I'll talk to Officer Liu about something."

Yan Bugui immediately made arrangements.

After saying this, he took Secretary Liu home.

After returning home, the three aunts brought cups of water. Secretary Liu thanked them and the two began to talk about business.

"Old Yan, I've also heard about your son's situation. I wonder what your plans are for the future? Does he still want to find a wife?"

Secretary Liu came straight to the point, leaving Yan Bugui confused.

The street offices have such wide responsibilities now?

My son is infertile, who is he interfering with? He even sent someone to investigate.

"No, Secretary Liu, my son is sick, but he has never been fooling around. Where did you hear this rumor from?"

The three aunts standing nearby hurriedly explained.

She thought someone had spread rumors that her son was infertile, just like Yi Zhonghai, because of the disease he contracted from prostitution, so the street office came to her house to question her.

When Secretary Liu heard this, he realized it was a misunderstanding and hurriedly explained.

"You misunderstood. What I meant was, if it's hard for your son to find a wife, we, the street office, can help him find one. What do you think?"

Is there such a good thing?

The couple looked at each other in disbelief.

"Secretary Liu, can you tell us why?"

Secretary Liu then explained the whole story and told Yan Bugui that these people would not mind his son's infertility as long as he was given food to eat.

Yan Bugui thought about it carefully. Although it was important for his son to get married, this year was really not suitable. Didn’t his family have enough food?

Just when he was at a loss and ready to give up, Officer Liu saw his concerns and used his trump card.

"Old Yan, if your family helps the street office solve the problem, you will receive a subsidy of 30 kilograms of food coupons. Next time we have a job, we will give your son priority."

This sentence immediately broke through Yan Bugui's psychological defenses.

Not to mention 30 kilograms of food coupons, even if it was 3 kilograms of food coupons, Yan Bugui would not be able to resist.

What's more, there are job opportunities and they can be given priority. If his son gets a job, wouldn't it be easy to support an extra daughter-in-law?

"Secretary Liu, when are we going to go see him?"

Yan Bugui finally decided to agree to the matter first and then make plans after seeing what happened.

"You can go tomorrow morning. The earlier you go, the greater your chances of being selected."

In fact, what Secretary Liu said is not entirely correct. Even if you choose someone, both parties have to be satisfied.

However, Secretary Liu will definitely not talk about these things.

Now that the Yan family had finished their discussion, Secretary Liu didn't plan to stay any longer. He said hello and walked towards the central courtyard.

There were two families in the Intermediate Court that needed to be visited, and seeing that the He family's door was open, Officer Liu went to the He family first.

"Is Lao He at home?"

Hearing someone shouting, He Daqing hurried out. When he saw the person coming, he was confused. The two of them had no interactions in normal times. So what could the street office come to his door for?

"It's Secretary Liu! Please come in."

After the two entered the house, He Daqing was about to pour some water but was stopped by Officer Liu because he had drunk too much water today.

Secretary Liu didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose, then waited for He Daqing's reply.

"Okay, then I'll ask my son to take a day off tomorrow so we can go and have a look together."

Secretary Liu did not expect that He Daqing agreed so readily and without any hesitation.

In fact, He Daqing was also anxious! Sha Zhu was already 23 years old and had never found a wife. Now that the opportunity had come, how could he refuse?

"Okay, then you go ahead, I still have to go to the next place."

After going out, seeing that the Yi family’s door was still locked, Secretary Liu walked to the backyard again to see what Chen Xiaosan would say.

After arriving at Chen's house, seeing that the family was penniless and didn't even have a decent piece of clothing, Director Liu had already backed out and no longer held out any hope.

However, since he was already there, Secretary Liu still explained his purpose.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Xiaosan was actually willing to go and have a look, and he solemnly promised that if it really worked out, as long as he had something to eat, his wife would have something to eat as well.

Secretary Liu thought the child was quite honest and decided in his heart that if it really worked out, he would try his best to help the child in the future!

After leaving Chen's house, when passing by the central courtyard, there was still no one at the Yi's house, so Secretary Liu could only come again next time.

When Secretary Liu arrived at the gate and was about to leave, he suddenly discovered Yi Zhonghai's wife. It turned out that she was sitting at the door!

"Mrs. Yi, I was looking for you for something, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Aunt Yi didn't understand why Secretary Liu wanted to see her.

"Then come sit at my house!"

"No, let's find a secluded place nearby. I'll leave after a brief conversation."

Secretary Liu knew Yi Zhonghai's family very well. A few years ago, he commissioned the street office to find a child to adopt.

But at that time, Yi Zhonghai's reputation was so bad that no one dared to find a child for him. But now it is different. The street office is begging him to adopt one.

It is indeed a different situation at this time, but Secretary Liu believes that Yi Zhonghai's family will definitely agree.

Sure enough, the two of them came to a secluded place, and Secretary Liu stated his purpose. Aunt Yi agreed without even thinking about it.

"Mrs. Yi, if the adoption is successful this time, come back and live a good life, and tell your wife to stop messing around."

Before leaving, Secretary Liu gave instructions.

"Hey, hey! Don't worry! Secretary Liu, our old Yi has changed a lot since he stopped being a grandfather. I believe that if he has a child, he won't make a fuss."

"Okay then! You guys go check it out tomorrow morning. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Then slow down."

Aunt Yi did not return to the courtyard until Secretary Liu walked away.

"Aunt Yi is back. What does Officer Liu want to talk to you about?"

As soon as I got back to the gate of the courtyard, a curious middle-aged woman came to ask me about something.

The group of people nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears, ready to listen to what was going on.
