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

"Okay, no problem. I was planning to find a job for Bang Geng."

"I'll go cook a meal for the leader tomorrow and find out."

"If it doesn't work, let him cook with me. Whenever there are people preparing food outside, I will take him with me to learn."

Sha Zhu thought that there should be no problem in arranging a job for him.

Moreover, it seems like it would be a good thing if I could accept Banggeng as my apprentice.

"Okay, thank you then."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, stood up and grabbed Sha Zhu's hand.

Sha Zhu's body trembled, and he said excitedly: "Sister Qin, why are you being so polite to me? Your business is my business!"

"I'm afraid it's only now. It may not be the case after you marry Yu Haitang."

"Tell me if you have any news, I will go back first."

Qin Huairu spoke only to the point.

Just like her relationship with Shazhu, she never admits it, but she doesn't object either.

It was so ambiguous that Sha Zhu always felt as if he had touched it, but he didn't have any substantial feeling.

"Sister Qin..."

Sha Zhu watched Qin Huairu leave, scratching his head and not knowing what to do about this matter.

......

"Uncle, are you planning to build a shed in the yard?"

Yan Bugui helped several people carry things into the yard and was a little surprised.

After all, radiators were installed in this yard before.

In recent years, several companies have invested in the yard.

However, some people are reluctant to burn it because it consumes too much coal.

The ones who are being burned now are Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao.

"Keep it in reserve, you never know when it might be needed."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say much.

Put all the things aside and cover them with plastic sheeting and oil paper.

"Bufan, is this any use?"

Yan Bugui turned and looked at Yi Bufan again.

"Nothing, I just feel the weather has been hot recently, and I'm afraid if there's a heavy rain or an earthquake or something, the house will be uninhabitable."

Yi Bufan looked at the neighbors outside and said.

As for whether these people believe it or not, that is their business.

"Heavy rain is possible, but an earthquake is unlikely."

"However, there are several places where the rain is leaking in my house. I have to go check and see if the tiles are rotten."

Yan Bugui thought of asking Yan Jiecheng to go up to the room and take a look, so he left.

As for what other neighbors think, I don’t know.

"I also bought a few boxes of canned food. I'll put them in the yard later so we can have something to eat and drink."

Yi Zhonghai felt that since Yi Bufan said there would be an earthquake, there was an 80% chance that there would be one.

Get things ready first.

Even if there is no earthquake at that time, it doesn’t matter. My son is the most important.

"Well, it's almost there."

"I'll prepare the rest."

Yi Bufan also stockpiled a lot of things in his personal space.

Don't take it out unless it's absolutely necessary.

"By the way, can we dig a cellar in our yard so that we can store some things?"

This courtyard house has a cellar, which is located in the backyard and is quite large.

Basically, all the neighbors' belongings in the entire yard are stored in it.

"Okay, I had this plan before. It's right over there. I can bring the materials back and dig it up some other day."

Yi Zhonghai pointed to the corner.

"Just find a few workers to dig it, you don't have to do it yourself."

Yi Bufan saw that Yi Zhonghai was eager to try, so he thought there was no need to save this money.

"Okay! I'll find someone to dig it tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai felt comfortable when he heard Yi Bufan caring about him.

......

"Sister Qin, it's done."

"There are indeed a lot of people looking for jobs now, and there are too many intellectuals returning from the countryside to accommodate them all."

"The leader assigned me a job and asked me to do it first. I will change to another position when it becomes vacant."

When Sha Zhu came back at night, he went straight to Jia's house before he had time to enter his own room.

"real."

"Bang terrier, you have a job."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu was naturally very happy and immediately turned around to tell Banggeng the good news.

Bang Geng was naturally happy to hear that.

When I came back from the countryside, I had great ambitions.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been in the village for a few years that I’m longing for the city.

I feel like I can still achieve a lot if I return to the city.

"Zhu Zi, tell me quickly, what is Bang Geng's job?"

"Yesterday, a man in the alley was assigned a job and was happily beating drums and gongs."

"As a result, when everyone asked, they found out that they were assigned to guard the gate of the street office."

“It took more than three months of waiting to get the spot.”

"It's really hilarious that a gatekeeper like me was able to celebrate."

When Jia Zhang heard that she had found a job for Banggeng, she immediately showed off.

"When my brother gets a job, our family will have an extra source of income."

"I can have more dumplings for dinner."

Xiaodang is very down to earth.

“I want to eat roast duck!”

Little Sophora japonica also shouted.

"Don't worry, after I get my first month's salary, I'll take you to eat roast duck and buy some meat to make dumplings."

Banggeng agreed immediately.

These days, he wants a job and a salary more than anyone else.

"The leader said that work is very tight right now and we need to queue up."

"If you want to cut in line, there won't be any good jobs. Let's arrange for Banggeng to sweep the streets in the sub-district office, which are the streets outside ours."

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, the sound in the room suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Huaihua, who was mending socks, was stunned for a moment. She felt it was too strange. She accidentally dropped the needle in her hand to the ground and actually heard a sound.

This made Xiao Huaihua feel like she had done something wrong, and she quickly looked at the few people.

"Cleaner?"

"Then you'd be worse off than guarding the gate!"

Jia Zhang was quick-witted and said directly what Bang Geng didn't want to say.

"Are you really a street sweeper?"

Qin Huairu also turned to look at Sha Zhu.

Shazhu was also a little embarrassed.

"The leader said that this is the only job that can be arranged for Bang Geng."

“Otherwise you’ll have to queue.”

"However, the leader also said that there will definitely be a good job in the future, and we will reassign Bang Geng then."

Shazhu thinks it can be considered a job.

"Great! The cleaner is pretty good. He only works in the mornings and doesn't spend much time sweeping during the day. There should be others like him."

Qin Huairu turned her head and looked at Banggeng.

"I'm not going!"

Bang Geng refused directly.

"There are many people competing for the job of cleaner now."

"If you miss it, you may have to wait in line for three or four months and you may still be doing this job. There are also jobs like emptying manure buckets and cleaning toilets."

Shazhu still wants Banggeng to think it over carefully.
