Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

What else did Jia Dongxu want to say? There was another knock on the door. Aunt Bai Xiuying was a little surprised, but she still walked over and opened the door. She found that it was Xu Erni, smiled and said, "It's Erni, come in quickly. It's very cold outside, don't let yourself get frozen."

Xu Erni nodded and walked into Yi Zhonghai's house. Jia Dongxu looked at his wife and said in a reproachful tone, "Why are you going to the master's house when you don't take care of your mother at home?" Xu Erni pretended to be very aggrieved and said, "My mother said that she asked me to come out to borrow eggs. She wanted to eat boiled eggs. You also know that the eggs at home have been gone for a long time, so I wanted to come to the master's house to ask."

Listening to what his wife said, Jia Dongxu felt that he was about to lose face. His greedy mother, can't he be more careful? Jia Dongxu looked at his master with a red face, and Yi Zhonghai was happy again. With a big wave of his hand, he asked Bai Xiuying to go to the kitchen to get three eggs, and said with a smile, "When you two go home later, you two can each have one of these three eggs to supplement your diet."

Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed, but as the son of Jia Zhang, he was naturally thick-skinned. His blush was only for a moment, and was diluted by the joy of eating eggs later. Today is Sunday, and everyone is resting. But since it is quite cold outside in winter, except for some naughty monkeys who are not afraid of the cold, everyone is staying indoors for the winter.

Jia Dongxu and his wife stayed in Yi Zhonghai's house until the afternoon, enjoying the warmth of Yi Zhonghai's house. At this time, Wang Chunhua came in with a few street office officials and happened to meet Jia Zhang who was going out to Yi Zhonghai's house. When Jia Zhang saw Wang Chunhua, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she wanted to run away.

Wang Chunhua snorted coldly and said, "Jia Zhang, why are you looking at me running?" Jia Zhang was stunned and said, "Ah, I'm not running." She just did it subconsciously. She was picked up by Director Wang a lot because of Liu Chunhua and Xu Erni's affairs some time ago. Last time, because she promoted feudal superstition, she was forced to clean the toilet for half a month.

Jia Zhang originally wanted her daughter-in-law to help her, but she and her son refused. Her daughter-in-law threatened her that if she dared to force her to do that kind of thing, she would definitely tell Director Wang about it. This frightened Jia Zhang, and she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere for half a month.

Director Wang snorted coldly and said, "Call everyone in your yard. Today is Saturday. At least one person from each household must come out. I have something important to announce." After two cups of tea, the middle courtyard of the yard was full of people. They were a little unhappy at first. What did they want to do by calling them out in the middle of winter?

Wang Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "My neighbors in the courtyard, I have come to your courtyard today to announce something important. I will only delay you for a moment. I know that the weather is very cold today, so please bear with me. What I am talking about is that from now on, you need a ticket to buy anything. And starting from January 1, which is three days later, every household will be allocated food according to the number of people in each household. I am referring to people with urban household registration. There is no quota for rural household registration. Do you understand?"

The people in the courtyard were stunned at first, and then they immediately exploded. Zhou Tie said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, you mean that people like us who married rural wives don't have a quota. What about our children? Do our children have a quota?"

Director Wang pressed his hand down and said to the people in the courtyard, "As long as they have a city hukou, they are all people with a quota. As long as their hukou is not in the city, they are not quota. I remember that your sons, Zhou Tie, seem to have their hukou in the city, so your children have a hukou, but your wife does not."

After hearing this explanation, Zhou Tie finally felt relieved. Although his wife did not have a fixed salary, his monthly salary was enough to support her. However, this shocking news almost made the other people in the courtyard collapse on the ground.

Especially Jia Zhang, who said with a sad face, "Director Sun Sun, you dare not do this. My son is the only one in our family who has a quota, what should I do with my daughter-in-law?" Another aunt cried and said, "Yes, there are six people in our family. If only my son has a quota, we might as well hang ourselves with a rope?"

Wang Chunhua glared at the old lady and said, "Mrs. Ma, how dare you say such things? Our people in the street office tried to persuade you, begging you to transfer your household registration as soon as possible. Did you and your son listen? You just wanted to covet the land of your wife's family, and you even registered your grandsons' household registration in the countryside. Who do you blame for this? Are you blaming me?"

Director Wang snorted coldly, looked at these people again and said, "From now on, the child's household registration must follow the mother's household registration. What does it mean? Do you know? If your wife's household registration is in the city, then your son's household registration will also be established. Conversely, if your wife's household registration is in the countryside, then your child's household registration will also be in the countryside. There is still no quota."

This sentence almost made the people in the yard cry. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rural land reform was to divide the land according to the number of people. Not to mention that you are a child, even if you are a baby, the village still has to allocate land to you. Because of this, many families who married rural wives did not change their wives' household registration to urban ones, and some even greedily registered their children's household registration in the countryside. This is really a mess.

Some are happy while others are worried. Qin Huairu patted her chest with lingering fear. Her household registration had been moved to the street office three months ago. She was a real city dweller. She didn't have to worry about her child being with her mother from the countryside. If that happened, he would definitely feel guilty.
