Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"I didn't follow you. I was going to take this road anyway."

The little girl was also wondering along the way why Yi Bufan was taking the same path as herself.

"Really? Where are you going?"

Yi Bufan naturally didn't believe it.

“Nanluoguxiang, Jiaodaokou Street.”

Maybe the little girl thought that Yi Bufan had just saved her and was a good man, so she said it directly.

"What the hell? Nanluoguxiang in Jiaodaokou Street, the same place I want to go?"

Yi Bufan's eyes widened a little.

"You're going there too?"

The little girl also showed an expression of disbelief.

"It's really on the way. Let's go together. Is your home over there?"

Yi Bufan felt that he was lucky enough to have saved a passerby.

"Not really, but I'm reporting over there, it's just been arranged."

The little girl thought for a moment and said.

"What a coincidence! I'm also here to report. This is your first time in the City of Four Nine, right? I'll protect you from now on!"

Yi Bufan thought, since he was already a rich second-generation, it wouldn't be easy for him to protect a little girl? Eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks were not a big deal.

"haha okay!"

The little girl smiled lightly, wondering who is coming to the city for the first time.

......

Jiaodaokou Street Office.

"Please bring me the letter of introduction!"

After arriving at the street office, Yi Bufan and the little girl were led into an office.

"You are Yi Bufan, right? Um, can you work as a security guard in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"

Liu Neng is a clerk in Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and is specifically responsible for these matters.

"Obey the organization's arrangements!"

Yi Bufan felt that none of these mattered. He was going to find Yi Zhonghai to recognize his relative anyway. By then, he would have money to spend freely and work would be nothing but clouds.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai has saved a lot of money over the years.

"Your name is Xu Xiaoran, right?"

Liu Neng looked at Xu Xiaoran with a smile.

"Ok!"

Xu Xiaoran nodded slightly.

"A salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative, a broadcaster at the Red Star Steel Mill, or a clerk at a neighborhood office. Choose one of these jobs."

Liu Neng stared at Xu Xiaoran intently, as if he wanted to eat her.

"I protest!"

Yi Bufan was unhappy.

"What are you protesting? You thought this was a meeting!"

Liu Neng's expression changed instantly, and the gentle smile he gave Xu Xiaoran disappeared.

"Why don't I have a choice? Aren't men and women equal?"

Yi Bufan wanted to hit Liu Neng because he saw the lustful eyes he had for Xu Xiaoran.

"Don't make trouble. Men and women have different positions."

After Liu Neng finished speaking, he continued to look at Xu Xiaoran and returned to his previous smile.

"Are the announcers at the Red Star Steel Mill and the projectionists in the same department?"

Xu Xiaoran's words made Yi Bufan and Liu Neng a little confused. Why did they ask this?

"Yes, they all belong to the Propaganda Department."

Liu Neng nodded.

"Then I'll just be a clerk in the street office."

Xu Xiaoran made a decision immediately.

Yi Bufan: "Don't!"

Liu Neng: “Okay!”

The two of them shouted in unison right after Xu Xiaoran finished speaking.

"What does it have to do with you? You must respect Comrade Xu Xiaoran's decision!"

Liu Neng glared at Yi Bufan.

"Being a broadcaster is such a good job, why don't you go for it?"

Yi Bufan remembered that Yu Haitang held this position, which was easy and comfortable, and the salary was not bad.

"I do not want to go!"

Xu Xiaoran refused without hesitation.

"That's right. It's not as comfortable as being a clerk in a street office. The workload is small, and you are often with the leaders."

Liu Neng feels that this has more benefits than being a broadcaster.

"Come here!" Yi Bufan pulled Xu Xiaoran's arm aside and said softly, "Don't work here. Don't you see this guy's lecherous look? He will definitely take advantage of you."

"What do you mean by eating tofu? I don't have any tofu?"

Xu Xiaoran's eyes were full of confusion.

"This tofu is not that tofu. He might bully you, just like what happened in the alley before..."

After Yi Bufan finished speaking, Xu Xiaoran was stunned.

"I decided to work as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative."

Xu Xiaoran changed her mind immediately.

In fact, Yi Bufan thought that it would be great to be a broadcaster at the Red Star Steel Mill, so that they could work together.

It would be such a shame if such a beautiful girl was ruined by someone else.

"Ah, aren't you going to be a clerk in the street office? It's easy and free. Being a salesperson is so tiring standing all day."

Liu Neng naturally wanted Xu Xiaoran to stay in the street office.

"Secretary Liu, didn't you just say that we should respect Comrade Xu Xiaoran's decision?"

Yi Bufan smiled and watched Liu Neng's silent protest.

"Okay, do you have a place to stay? Is your home nearby?"

Liu Neng didn't dwell on this matter as there were too many people coming in and out.

Yi Bufan: “No!”

Xu Xiaoran: “No!”

The two said in unison, looked at each other and smiled.

Yi Bufan felt that Yi Zhonghai’s house was too small, like two rooms, and he had no place to live.

"Then you'll be in the dormitory of the Red Star Steel Mill. It's half a mile north of here, in the yard, on the second floor, room 208, a double room. Here's the key! One dollar will be deducted from your salary every month."

Liu Neng took the key and gave it to Yi Bufan.

"Double room? Or dormitory?"

Yi Bufan was a little surprised. This was different from what he thought.

Liu Neng glanced at Yi Bufan and ignored him.

"Xu Xiaoran, you should also live in the dormitory. It's in the compound next to the street office. It's also a double room, room 103. Here's the key. The same goes for you. One dollar will be deducted from your salary every month."

Liu Neng also handed a key to Xu Xiaoran.

"No single dormitories?"

"Isn't there still a vacant room in the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang outside?"

Xu Xiaoran's words attracted Yi Bufan. This girl was so familiar with this place.

"Yes, isn't there a house in the compound at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang?"

Yi Bufan just wanted to live in that yard, at least to live in the same yard with his father so that he could have more money to spend.

"You know a lot!" Liu Neng glanced at the two of them and continued, "There is a house, and there should be another one, but you can't live in it."

"Why!"

Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran asked again in unison.

"Because you are single, all singles live in dormitories. These houses are given priority to couples because they want to have children. Besides, the rent is only one dollar."

Liu Neng smiled and picked up his teacup, on which was written "Serve the People".

"Do you have a partner?"

Yi Bufan suddenly turned around and asked Xu Xiaoran.

"No, what are you going to do?"

Xu Xiaoran looked confused.

"Then how old are you?"

Yi Bufan asked again, mainly because he couldn't guess the age of the pretty girl.

"I just had my birthday last month. I just turned eighteen. What's wrong?"

Xu Xiaoran was confused.

"Come with me!" Yi Bufan pulled Xu Xiaoran out of the office and said, "Look, this is what I think. You don't have a partner, and neither do I. You don't want to live in the dormitory, and neither do I. You want to live in Yard No. 95, and I want to live in Yard No. 95 too. Why don't we just get married?"
