Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

After watching the people walk away, Zhao Shanhe went back to Pigeon City, said goodbye to his sixth brother and went home. When he got home, he minimized what happened today and told Chen Xueru about it. The other party also said that he handled the matter in a magnanimous way.

However, Chen Xueru also has the potential to worry about the ancients, commonly known as a Madonna heart.

"Shanhe, the countryside was dry last year and it's still dry this year. Do you think it will continue to be dry next year? If it continues like this, people will probably starve to death.

Look at how tall, big, and thin he is. If his face hadn’t changed, I wouldn’t have recognized him.”

Zhao Shanhe had looked into three years of natural disasters in the 21st century. Although the Internet described them in a general way, the more vague things were, the more terrifying they were. However, he really could not do anything about it.

"Xue Ru, we just need to live our own lives. The country will not ignore such things."

Having said that, I didn't want to continue talking about this topic anymore, so I forced myself to change the direction of the conversation.

"Is there anyone who wants your shop? It's been over a month and you haven't sold it yet?"

Chen Xueru replied, imitating Zhao Shanhe's way of spreading his hands.

"Do you think I don't want to sell it? There are a few people who have asked, but the price they offered is too low. Although my shop is not on the main street of Qianmen, the location is not bad.

If I sell less, I will suffer a huge loss.”

"Your good sister has no interest in this? She is very obsessed with real estate and other things."

Zhao Shanhe was talking about Xu Huizhen. Ever since she failed to buy Pian Ye's house, the proprietress of the tavern has started a revenge buying mode. In addition, the tavern has made a lot of money, and now she has become the owner of several shops in Qianmen.

Although the houses we buy have to be rented out, the monthly rent is still quite high.

Moreover, transactions on the streets are prohibited in residential and private residences, but free transactions are allowed in shops like this, so she is not breaking the rules.

However, Zhao Shanhe was not optimistic about her behavior. There is a saying that goes, "If you have fun now, you will be on the list in the future." In the TV series, she bought the house of Pian Ye secretly, so when the wind blew, she didn't lose much. But now she has bought so many houses, she can't hide it. After the wind blows, she may be labeled as a landlord or a capitalist, which would be unlucky for her.

"Yes, she came today and asked me how much I wanted to sell it for. But I don't plan to sell it to her. She has enough houses, and I'm afraid that if she buys more, she will be coveted by others."

Well, Zhao Shanhe had nothing to say now. Chen Xueru was still somewhat rational and knew that buying too many houses was not a good thing.

"Then it's up to you. Lou Xiao'e from the backyard has gone to work at the steel mill. What does this mean? The Lou family also knows that he has class problems and must integrate with the masses to survive.

I have arranged your work, you will go to the Propaganda Department when you enter the factory, whether you are a broadcaster or a copywriter, if you don't like it, you can draw blackboard newspapers, it's easy work anyway."

This time, Zhao Shanhe did not ask Li Huaide to find a job for Chen Xueru. This friend of women is too lustful, so he has to be careful.

The person he went to see was Liu Hongmei, the head of the Personnel Department. It just so happened that her cousin was in the Public Security Department. He promised to give her cousin a position when she was promoted next time, and Chen Xueru got the job in this way.

Even though the propaganda department was the hardest hit after the storm, it depends on the location. For example, the propaganda department under the factory is mainly responsible for promoting the red color. Even if it is a bit radical sometimes, it is within the acceptable range and cannot be confused with those young generals.

In late November, the day after a workshop was rebuilt, a heavy snow fell in the city. Yang Liming held a cup of tea in his hand and kept thanking his luck in the office that he had finished the work in time, otherwise, a lot of work would have been delayed for who knows how many days because of the heavy snow.

It was also on this day that Chen Xueru went to work at the steel rolling mill. The silk shop was ultimately not sold as the price could not be agreed upon. However, seeing that the price could not be negotiated, the buyer simply changed the purchase to leasing.

In fact, Zhao Shanhe also knew that the shops in the Qianmen area would be in great demand in the future, but that would be decades later. Not to mention that they would be snatched away by the wind, let’s take the early days of reform and opening up as an example. There were many people in the city who wanted to go to the south to do business or go abroad to broaden their horizons. There must have been too many people selling houses at that time. As long as Zhao Shanhe had money, couldn’t he pick any one?

Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e went to work at the steel rolling mill, which made Yan Laokou very envious.

Looking at the entire courtyard from beginning to end, all the prominent people were employees of the steel rolling mill. He was the only lousy teacher, which made him very upset. Fortunately, he saw that his second son Jiefang was in the third grade of junior high school and would graduate in another half a year. He was thinking about whether he could talk to Zhao Shanhe and let Jiefang go to work in the steel rolling mill.

You don't have to have a regular job, you can just be a temporary worker like Guangtian, which earns 18 yuan a month. Not only can you save a meal for your family at noon, but you can also buy dozens of kilograms of corn flour.

After the completion of a workshop in the steel rolling mill, a major technical assessment followed. Yang Liming's old leader also knew what the assessment was for. In order to produce qualified Grade 8 workers, he did not look for examiners in factories within the city, but instead found engineers and old Grade 8 workers from Tianjin and Tongzhou to conduct the assessment.

When Yi Zhonghai saw these examiners, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't ask the old lady to help him smooth over the connections. What's the point of smoothing over the connections when he didn't even know any of them?

Moreover, the assessment was held in the gymnasium of a steel rolling mill. The place was big and could accommodate thousands of people. Even if you wanted to cheat, you wouldn't have the chance. And cheating in front of thousands of eyes, did you really think everyone was blind?

On the day of the assessment, the examiners were indeed very strict. They first tested the first level. Because of Liu Haizhong's intensive tutoring and the fact that the first level only required basic parts processing, Yan Jiecheng passed the assessment without any pressure and became a formal worker in the steel rolling mill. Although this level of worker is inconspicuous, the salary is 33 yuan a month.

From now on, he can get the same benefits from the factory as everyone else, and he no longer has to take only half.

When it came time for the Level 2 fitter assessment, Wang Dawei and Jia Dongxu from the yard came on stage. These two brothers had been discussing technology together a lot recently. Yi Zhonghai didn't teach them well, and the other masters didn't want to offend Yi, so these two had to learn on their own.

Fortunately, as long as you study hard and practice diligently, you can learn the locksmith knowledge below level four. The only difference is the length of time required. These two people were lucky. The parts they encountered during the assessment were all those they had studied recently. In the end, Wang Dawei completed the assessment first, and Jia Dongxu was only 5 minutes slower than him, but he also passed successfully.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting in the audience seats on both sides of the gymnasium, and he was so angry when he saw the two disciples. Ever since Zhao Shanhe became the deputy section chief, Wang Dawei had shown strong signs of moving closer to the other party, and what he said to him was gradually becoming ineffective.

As for Jia Dongxu...the plan has come to this point, so it’s about time to come to an end, right?
