Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Shanhe, I won't be working in the Youth Office next year."

"Where?"

"you guess"

"Then I can guess, with so many departments, it won't be a government department, right?"

"Organization Department"

"Fuck, you're so awesome."

"No way. I have my uncle in the Youth Office, so I have some power. There are so many bigwigs in the Organization Department, even my father is nothing. I am just a small shrimp."

"Fuck, if you hadn't said it before, I would have believed it. Today's meal is mine, and next time you have to treat me."

"Shanhe, if you count it this way, then you owe me several meals. You're the chief engineer, and you haven't even treated me once."

"Isn't this an invitation today?"

"That counts. I'll eat a lot of it."

After the two finished their meal, Zhao Shanhe stuffed four hundred yuan into his classmate's briefcase. After all, he had helped twice, so he decided to split the money equally.

"Shanhe, do you look down on me? Do we need this for our relationship? Aren't you slapping me in the face?"

"Listen to me, it's a waste if you don't take it. It's originally prepared for you. It's not my money. Besides, if you don't accept it, I will never dare to come to you again in the future."

"I finally understand. This person is not your relative. Even if he is, I'm afraid the relationship is not good. But you have to come, right?"

"Damn, if you were fortune-telling in ancient times, even the emperor would be fooled by you. You are really accurate."

"Get lost, I'm not a fool. If you can't even see this, then I'd better not be an official. Sooner or later, I'll be played to death."

After the two parted, Zhao Shanhe felt that he had to go find Lao Li. The number of places was limited, and he prayed that Lao Li had not sold that place. Zhao Shanhe went to buy gifts for his brother and sister-in-law.

"Shanhe, why are you here today?"

"Isn't this just to wish you a happy new year? By the way, I want to ask you about my quota."

"What's wrong? Are you short of money? Just ask me if you need money. I can help you. Are you still worried about me doing things for you? I've already sold you the quota. I'll go get the money for you."

“Sold it?”

"Yes, you want to sell it, right? I'll sell it to you for a good price of twelve hundred. How about it? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, Lao Li." Zhao Shanhe didn't hesitate any more. He planned to give Banggeng twelve hundred yuan anyway.

Lao Li handed him the money, and he took out two hundred and gave it to Lao Li, "Lao Li, take this handling fee."

"Get out of here. I would definitely take it if someone else gave it to me. Why are you trying to do the same to me? What's our relationship? Aren't you just slapping me in the face?" Zhao Shanhe felt that these words were very familiar.

The two hundred yuan was still not given away, and she accompanied Lao Li for a drink. It was dark when she returned. As soon as she arrived at the Intermediate Courtyard, Qin Huairu ran out of the house.

Qin Huairu was about to speak when Zhao Shanhe said, "Let's go in and talk. There are so many people around."

After entering the Jia family, all five pairs of eyes of Qin Huairu's family were staring at him. Zhao Shanhe took out an envelope from his bag and said, "Okay, the household registration issue has been resolved. Banggeng can go out openly in the future. But he has to find a job quickly, otherwise he will have to go back home."

Qin Huairu took the envelope, and after reading the certificate inside, she was excited. Then she passed it to Banggeng, who read it and gave it to his sister. Jia Zhangshi was so anxious, but the problem was that she couldn't read.

"Okay, you guys take a rest, I'll be back first."

"Brother-in-law, I'll leave the work to you. I'll give you the money later."

"You know I went out early in the morning. I ran around all day for your matter. My legs were almost broken. Not only did I spend 800 yuan, but I also had to find someone to connect with me and treat me to a meal before I got the job done. I also told you last night that I can't guarantee the job. You should go around and ask around. Don't put all your hopes on me."

After Zhao Shanhe left, Qin Huairu asked, "Mom, what does Shanhe mean? Are you not going to help?"

"What do you mean? You just didn't get any benefit. Didn't you hear him say he spent 800 yuan? He also paid for the dinner."

"That's impossible. I thought 800 was more than enough. I only spent or yuan, and the rest would be his kickback."

"I think what he said is true. It is a national policy to send educated youth to the countryside. It should be a bit difficult to handle. If it was easy, he would have returned by noon. It's already dark and he still smells of alcohol. It seems that he drank a lot. His face doesn't look good either. I guess I didn't treat him well."

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that Jia Zhang had such a strong ability to associate ideas. He said that just to express that things were a bit difficult, but he still tried his best. He had spent 800 yuan and had no money to refund.

"What should I do? I finally got it done. If I don't have a job, Banggeng will go down again."

"We can't give up on Zhao Shanhe. Why don't we ask Lao Yi for help? He's a level 8 worker, so he should be able to find a way."

"Mom, you think that if Zhao Shanhe can't do it, how can Yidaye do it? Not to mention Yidaye, even Guo Dapiaozi doesn't have a quota. Even if he can do it, why would Yidaye help us? What can we give him? He's not short of money."

"Alas, why is our Jia family so difficult? Lao Jia and Dong Xu, you must bless Bang Geng."

"Mom, please go and beg my uncle-in-law again. I really don't want to go to the countryside anymore. It's too hard. If I go down again, I really won't live anymore. It's better to die than to suffer down there."

"Okay, okay, Mom will go and ask your uncle-in-law for help. Don't be so upset. Mom will find you a job." Qin Huairu thought that if Zhao Shanhe really couldn't do it, she would go to Li Huaide. Li Huaide had been greedy for her body in the past. For the sake of her son, the worst that could happen was that she would become Li Huaide's mistress in the future.

While a few people were still discussing work here, Zhao Shanhe had already returned to the house.

"Brother, do you drink?"

"Well, I had a few drinks with my old classmates at noon, and then with Lao Li in the afternoon."

"Brother, I'll make you some soup and wash your feet later, so you won't feel so uncomfortable."

"Forget it, it's so late, Aunt Chen is probably asleep, you're disturbing the child by making soup, I'll wash my feet myself, you're pregnant."

"Brother, it's okay, I'll go get some water to wash my feet."

Qin Jingru soon brought the foot washing water, "Okay, sit down, I'll do it myself. You have a big belly and it's uncomfortable to stick it out. There's money in your bag, go count it and put it away after you count it."

When Qin Jingru heard that there was money in the bag, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over and opened the briefcase. There were two envelopes inside. Then she rolled up her sleeves and started counting the money.

Zhao Shanhe went to bed after washing his feet, but Qin Jingru was still counting, her mouth wide open with a smile.

"That's enough. It's just 1,600 yuan and you're still counting it endlessly. Put the money away and go to sleep."

"Brother, where did you get so much money?"

"Four hundred is my reward for your sister asking me to do something for you, and the twelve hundred is for Lao Li to sell the quota."

"Brother, you are awesome. Can I sleep with the money in my arms?"

"I think you are obsessed with money. It's up to you. Just don't lose it. I'm going to sleep after drinking."
