Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and decided to lend a hand. It was indeed wrong to kill someone with a stick, and it was indeed wrong to look at the things of this era with the eyes of future generations. Moreover, many things had not happened yet. In the play, Bang Zhu was supposed to have resented Sha Zhu because he was betrayed. Now the compound has changed completely because of him.

"Can you arrange a job for Banggeng so he doesn't have to go to the countryside?"

"I can only say that you think too simply. The key issue now is not whether An will be assigned a job, but whether you came back without permission. You should know that if you come back without permission, your account will be cancelled, and in serious cases, you will be sent to labor camp.

If his household registration is cancelled, Banggeng will not even have an identity. He will be an illegal resident. It will be a problem for him to find a job, let alone survive. "

"Brother-in-law, what do you say? I'll do whatever you say."

"Prepare the money. I'll go to the Youth League Office to find some connections and get Banggeng's hukou transferred back. Then we can talk about jobs. If we can't get Banggen's hukou, everything will be in vain."

"How much is it?"

"I don't know either. I'll ask around in the next two days. You should prepare more."

"Brother-in-law, please help Bang Geng find a job. Otherwise, even if he gets his hukou back, he will have to go back to work again. Bang Geng's body can't handle it."

"You're right, but to tell you the truth, I don't have any quota left. You know how valuable quotas are now. You may not be able to buy one even if you pay more money."

"Shanhe, you are not the chief engineer of the factory, how come you don't have a quota?"

"Then why is my Third Uncle here? I can't give my Third Uncle's place to your Bang Geng, right?"

"Shanhe, please, I only have this one son."

"Okay, I'll ask someone else and buy you one, but don't hold your hopes too high, because someone else's might have already been used."

"Brother-in-law, thank you"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, but go and prepare the money. The household registration and work matters are not small amounts of money. Without money, everything will be in vain."

"Brother-in-law, then you tell me the amount and I'll collect the money."

"It should be at least two thousand."

"Two, two thousand." Qin Huairu was shocked by the huge number.

"At least 1800 yuan is needed. The current factory work cannot be done without 1200 yuan. Don't we need to bribe the Youth League Office? 1800 yuan is the most conservative estimate. If you don't have the money, I advise you to hand over the stick."

"Okay, I'll go back and collect it. Brother-in-law, you must help."

"Okay, I said I would help you, but I can't help you with the money."

"Brother-in-law, just help me, I'll figure out the rest."

"Hurry up during this period. Prepare one thousand first. I will ask the Youth Office tomorrow. They haven't had their holiday yet. The factory must at least start working after the New Year to get the money together. Also, hide the stick during this period. If someone reports you, I won't be able to help you."

"Got it, brother-in-law. I'll be leaving first then?"

"Well, go ahead"

After Qin Huairu left, Qin Jingru asked, "Brother, do you really want to help her?"

"I'll investigate first. If it's true, I'll help. After all, we're your relatives. Banggeng's health probably won't allow him to survive in the countryside. After all, it's a life. If it's false, I'll have someone report it, and she can't blame me."

"Brother, does it really cost that much money?"

"What's wrong? Are you craving for money again? If you're sure you don't need that much, then my errands are not worth much."

Qin Huairu also returned home, feeling both happy and worried. She was happy that Zhao Shanhe was willing to help, but she was worried about where to get so much money.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong? Speak quickly."

Qin Huairu repeated what Zhao Shanhe said, "Mom, how are we going to get so much money?"

"It's good that Zhao Shanhe is willing to help. I'm afraid that if he doesn't want to help, there will be no hope at all. How much money do you have? Take it out all at once, don't hide it."

"I have 1200 yuan. I borrowed it from Shazhu after Dongxu passed away. I also got 20 yuan every month from Banggeng after he recognized Yi Zhonghai as his grandfather. I lived frugally in those years, and I gave all my savings to the old man in recent years. Mom, what about yours?"

"I spent all my savings on Banggeng's medical treatment a few days ago. All I have left is the coffin money that Lao Jia and Dongxu left for me, which is over 500 yuan."

"Then sell the sewing machine. That will be enough."

"Huai Ru, why do I feel like Zhao Shanhe has calculated exactly how much money our family has."

"That's impossible. Even if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know how much money our family has."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took out all their money, counted it and found that there was no need to sell the sewing machine. Eighteen hundred was enough, and they still had 34.52 left.

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that he would empty the Jia family's assets in one go.

The next day, Zhao Shanhe went to the Jia family first. Qin Huairu was quite careful. Zhao Shanhe gave his name before going in. Sure enough, Banggeng's leg was broken and in a splint. He looked pale and in poor health. It turned out that he was seriously injured. It was estimated that there would be no one to take care of the Jia Zhang family in their old age.

"Sister-in-law, Aunt Jia, please take 800 first. I will go to the Youth Office to find some connections and get my household registration settled as soon as possible. If it's too late, they will be on holiday."

Qin Huairu quickly counted out eight hundred and gave it to Zhao Shanhe, who took the money and went to the Youth League Office.

"Shanhe, I guessed that you would come to see me in the next few days. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone home." Classmate Zhao Shanhe said.

"Oh, when did you learn this skill? Tell me in detail."

"Tsk, why bother calculating? Didn't you say last time that the child was from your relative's family? Recently, there was news from Shaanxi that all the educated youth there had fled. I guess you have to come. How about it? Has the child suffered enough?"

"Not only have I suffered enough, but my life is almost gone."

"What's going on? Tell me in detail. I just got the news that there was a severe drought over there and they fled. I don't know what exactly happened yet."

Only Zhao Shanhe's memory had improved, so he repeated what Qin Huairu had said.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult. It seems like there are still people putting pressure on us. The situation I know is not that difficult at all."

"Okay, I've prepared everything for you. I've also stamped the seal. Let's go and have a meal. Isn't it worthwhile to have a meal of mutton at Donglaishun?"

"Are you serious? You really were waiting for me. I thought you were joking."

"Damn it, you didn't believe it. It was really a mistake. Fortunately, I got it done for you as soon as I got the news."

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I'll drink three cups of wine as punishment. Can you tell me how to deal with those educated youth?"

"I guess the higher-ups don't know yet. The documents haven't come down yet. I just heard all this from my uncle. Even if they deal with it, I guess they will just re-count it and then redistribute it. Your nephew is in that state, and I don't know how many of them can come back alive."
