Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Time soon came to the weekend, and the whole family went to the countryside together.

After arriving in the countryside, several families gathered together, had a good meal quietly, and then talked about work.

Although the countryside is in great need of strong laborers, it depends on what you are comparing it with. Faced with the temptation of job opportunities, no one can stay out of it.

After all, if there is a chance to go to the city and get a stable job, who would want to farm that piece of crappy land?

The final result is self-evident. Each of the three families sent one person, and Sun Zhengguo also left a letter of introduction, agreeing to report on time 10 days later.

After settling matters at home, the family boarded the bus back to the city.

After returning to the city, Sun Zhengguo took his wife and children back to the courtyard, preparing to visit the He family and discuss something with He Daqing.

When He Daqing saw Sun Zhengguo coming to visit, he thought he was asking him to cook again, so he quickly and politely welcomed him into the house.

After entering the room, Sun Zhengguo did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"Uncle He, let me tell you something. I have a job opening for a chef. Does your family want it?"

He Daqing was completely stunned by Sun Zhengguo's words, but Sha Zhu next to him was smart and spoke quickly.

"Yes, of course, but I don't know...?"

He Daqing also realized at this time, who wouldn't want a job? But they certainly wouldn't give it away for free, and his family wasn't well off right now, so he didn't know if he could get it.

"Zhengguo, the relationship between our two families is not bad. Just tell me the number?" He Daqing said while gritting his teeth.

"Uncle He, Brother Zhuzi, I won't cheat you. As long as you pay 600 yuan, you can take the spot."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, the room fell silent. Is 600 yuan a lot? Not really.

In the past, one large yellow croaker would have been more than enough.

But when He Daqing ran away, the yellow croaker had been confiscated and some money had been taken away by the White Widow. Now the family really can't come up with 600 yuan.

In order to get this job and reduce the pressure of life, He Daqing had to say it shamelessly.

"Zhengguo, how about this? We only have 300 yuan at home. I'll write you an IOU and promise to pay it back within a year. What do you think?"

Sun Zhengguo had already anticipated the situation of the He family.

"Uncle He, since your family doesn't have enough money, I'll give you a plan. You can repay the 600 yuan in three years, only 200 yuan a year, and there is no interest. What do you think?"

There was such a good thing. He Daqing's old face was wrinkled with smile. He immediately gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Zhengguo, you are worthy of being a man of our city. You are very fair in doing things. Don't worry, you know my skills. I will do my best and will not embarrass you."

"No, Mr. He, you misunderstood. I'm not looking for you to go. I'm planning to let Sister Yushui go."

"Why?" After hearing Sun Zhengguo's words, several people from the He family asked in unison.

"Uncle He, it's not that I don't want you, but given your situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the political review. Although Miss Yushui's background is not good, if someone takes care of her, it shouldn't be a problem."

After Sun Zhengguo's explanation, the He family understood. It should be because He Daqing had been in jail, and the family didn't want him because of a stain on his reputation.

But now, when asking He Yushui to go, He Daqing felt a little hesitant.

After all, He Yushui is a girl and she might get married at any time, so wouldn’t this deal be a loss?

"Dad, let me go! I don't need you to pay back the 600 yuan. At worst, I can work for three years for nothing and use all the money to pay off the debt."

Seeing He Daqing hesitating, He Yushui became anxious and quickly expressed his opinion.

"Hey! I think you don't need to hesitate. I'll tell you another good news. The chefs this time are specially recruited. You don't need to start as apprentices. You can directly take the assessment and enter the job. The specific level you can pass depends on your own ability."

Damn, after hearing this, He Daqing gained confidence. His daughter might not get level 7, but it would definitely be no problem for her to get level 8 chef status.

In that case, repaying 200 yuan a year would be no pressure at all, and there might even be some surplus to subsidize household expenses.

Even Sha Zhu was tempted by such conditions. You know, because of his background, every time he wanted to take the assessment, his superiors would not approve it.

"Okay! Zhengguo, I agree with your proposal." He Daqing finally made the decision.

Since it had been decided, Sun Zhengguo did not hesitate and directly handed the letter of introduction to He Yushui, asking her to report in 10 days.

"Brother Zhengguo, thank you! I'll write you an IOU." He Yushui took the letter of introduction and said gratefully.

"No, take it! Remember to report on time, otherwise if you miss the assessment that day, you will have to wait until the next one."

"Also, just pretend I wasn't here today. You guys are busy, I'll go back first."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he left the room on his own, leaving the three members of the He family in the room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Dad, what did he mean by what he said just now?" After Sun Zhengguo left, Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask.

"How could I give birth to a stupid son like you? I was keeping it a low profile and didn't want too many people to know about it, lest someone in the hospital come to ask for help. Remember, keep everything about today to yourself."

Although He Daqing thought his son was stupid, he still explained it to prevent his son from being out of touch and talking nonsense outside.

"Dad, I have another question. Why is Sun Zhengguo so confident that he doesn't even need to write an IOU? Isn't he afraid that we will default on the debt?"

Is this Shazhu a person? If you say he is smart, it's just some petty cleverness that can't be put on the table. For example, he can't see through this problem.

He Daqing was already crying because of his stupid son, but who can blame him for being his own son? If he doesn't teach him, who will?

So, he said with a straight face: "You are the only one who can do it. Unless you don't want to do it, there are plenty of ways for others to make you leave in a minute. Do you believe it?"

"Oh! Got it. It's too stuffy in this room. I'll go out for a walk."

After being scolded twice in a row, Sha Zhu didn't want to get into trouble again, so he found an excuse and walked out of the house.

Let’s talk about Sun Zhengguo. After he returned home, he gave the last letter of introduction to Lin Wencui.

"Mom, there is one last letter of introduction left. Go to the backyard and ask Aunt Chen if she wants it. If she does, take 500 yuan from her! If you don't have enough money, you can pay it back slowly."

"Okay! I'll go there in a minute, but what about the other one?" Lin Wencui asked after taking the letter of introduction.

"That one has already been sold to He Yushui for 600 yuan in total, but the money has to be repaid in three years."

Lin Wencui didn't take her son's words seriously. She put the letter of introduction in her pocket and walked towards the backyard.

After Lin Wencui left, Ning Xiaowei came over and asked in a casual manner.

"Jungguk, does your unit need a chef?"

"Yes! Otherwise, why would I ask He Yushui to do this? This job requires technical skills. If I just ask someone to do it, what if the food he cooks is not good?"

Sun Zhengguo didn't think much about it and explained immediately.

"Then why don't you look for He Daqing, but He Yushui? Aren't his skills better?" Ning Xiaowei continued to ask.
