Only children in Siheyuan make choices. I want them all.

"Never mind, let nature take its course. With the golden pupils and the body-refining technique, I am already very satisfied. I don't expect to reach the level of transcendence."

This is Zhang Jianjun’s greatest strength. He never gets hard on himself and never demands things that he cannot get.

Jay Chou sang a great song: If you can't pursue your dream, just change it. Fame and success are not the goal. Making yourself happy is the meaning. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

After the meal, Zhang Jianjun called Director Wang of the neighborhood committee and Chief Niu of the police station. In the presence of the two, he took the confession letter and the voluntary compensation document and asked the six people to sign it.

It’s not that Zhang Jianjun is too petty, it’s because he knows the character of the people living in the courtyard and they will not leave even the slightest handle for them to catch.

As soon as Zhang Jianjun explained his purpose, the other five people, although reluctant, signed and put their fingerprints reluctantly.

When it was Jia Zhang's turn, she not only refused to sign, but also sat on the ground and rolled around. It was obvious that after this incident, she wanted to use this incident to cheat Zhang Jianjun.

"What are you signing? I'm an old woman and I can't read. I've already compensated you for the money, so why would you ask me to sign?"

"Old Jia! Come and take a look! Zhang Jianjun, that little beast, is bullying us, an orphan and a widow! He is so inhumane."

The other five people saw Jia Zhang making a fuss, and they felt that they had an opportunity, so they also planned to follow suit and start making a fuss. After all, more than a thousand yuan at that time was an astronomical figure, and once signed, it would be impossible to get it back.

Zhang Jianjun saw what they were planning and asked coldly, "Director Niu, Jia Zhang not only promoted feudal superstition, but also cursed me in public. How should he be punished according to the law?"

Niu Xun said without hesitation: "Two crimes, one month's detention and a fifty-yuan fine."

Upon hearing that she would not only be detained but also fined, Jia Zhang jumped up from the ground, pointed at Director Niu and was about to curse him, but when she saw the gleaming handcuffs, she backed down.

"Isn't it just signing and stamping? What do you want to discuss? Can I put my fingerprints on it even though I can't read?"

"Okay! Just press it here." Zhang Jianjun took out the confession letter and compensation agreement and pointed to the blank space.

Jia Zhang pressed her fingerprints reluctantly. She knew that the more than one thousand yuan would never be returned, so she left Zhang Jianjun's house after saying something harsh.

"Just wait for me, kid. This matter can't be let go like this. One day I will make sure you can't stay in Siheyuan anymore."

Zhang Jianjun didn't say anything, but he already hated Jia Zhang in his heart and planned to find an opportunity to kill her.

The three uncles, plus Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, saw that the matter was irreversible and there was no room for maneuver, so they could only shake their heads and leave Zhang Jianjun's house.

The five of them walked to the middle courtyard, and the eldest uncle whispered, "I didn't expect that this beast Zhang Jianjun was so smart. He cut off our possibility of settling accounts later. Can you swallow this?"

The third uncle sighed helplessly: "Hey! What can you do if you can't swallow this breath? Do you have a way to deal with him?"

Sha Zhu immediately stated: "Even if I can't find an opportunity for the time being, what about in the future? Anyway, he and I are sworn enemies. He is not afraid of not being able to sleep at night after cheating me of so much money."

Xu Damao nodded: "It's settled then! We'll think of a solution when we get back and get together to discuss it tomorrow."

Several people nodded in agreement with what Xu Damao said, and went back home one after another.

In an era when communication basically relied on shouting and transportation basically relied on walking, people had no nightlife at all. They would go back to their rooms to sleep as soon as it got dark. It was nothing like today when there are mobile phones, computers, KTVs, Internet cafes and night markets.

Otherwise, how could people in the past have so many children? Every family had at least five or six children, and the most a couple could have was more than a dozen, simply because they were bored at night.

"Thank you Director Niu and Director Wang. I made these two portions of braised pork myself. I hope you don't mind."

Zhang Jianjun took out two lunch boxes filled with braised pork, weighing more than two kilograms.

"This is too expensive! We can't accept it." Director Niu and Director Wang waved their hands and declined hastily.

Zhang Jianjun knew that the two were just being polite, and he would not be so foolish as to take it seriously. After all, Director Wang and Director Niu had been staring at the braised pork from beginning to end.

"Hey, take it! This is just a small gift from me."

The three of them practiced Tai Chi for several rounds before Director Wang and Director Niu accepted the meat. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who eats the food, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving the food, Director Wang said seriously.

"Jianjun! You are eighteen this year, right? You still don't have a job? Do you want me to write a letter of introduction so that you can work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"

Director Niu also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Jianjun, if you don't want to go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, you can come to our police station to be a public security officer. With your identity and background, there will be no problem."

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has high wages and good benefits, and the public security status is high. Just when Zhang Jianjun was in a dilemma, the system's voice rang again.

[The host is facing a major decision. He chooses to go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to be rewarded with level 8 fitter skills, plus 30 years of fitter experience.]

[If you choose to be a police officer, you will be rewarded with a Phoenix brand bicycle, 30 kilograms of pork belly and 30 kilograms of mutton.]

"Fuck! How can a broken bicycle and a few pounds of meat compare with the eighth-level benchwork skills? Even a fool would know the choice." Zhang Jianjun cursed in his heart and decisively chose to go to the steel rolling mill.

"I'm sorry, Director Niu, I still want to go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Director Wang, please write me a letter of recommendation!"

"Because my father was a technician in the army, I was trained by him since I was a child and determined to become a great worker. And now my level of fitter is not low either."

Zhang Jianjun is also a smart man. By saying this he did not offend Director Niu and achieved his own goal.

The reward for making the option system arrived, and Zhang Jianjun had a lot of new knowledge about locksmithing in his mind, which was like cramming, and immediately made him dizzy.

Director Niu smiled and said to him comfortingly: "Jianjun, you don't need to apologize. The working people are the most glorious! I respect your decision."

Director Wang nodded in satisfaction at Zhang Jianjun's answer: "Come to the neighborhood committee tomorrow to get the letter of introduction! It's getting late so we'll go back first."

Director Niu and Director Wang soon said goodbye and left.

Zhang Jianjun recovered quickly. He washed up quickly and lay down on the bed to rest. He was exhausted after the day. He had not slept all night and had been running around all day today.

It was the middle of the night and Zhang Jianjun was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body. Suddenly he realized something and opened his eyes hurriedly.

Sure enough! Qin Huairu had arrived at some point. When she saw Zhang Jianjun looking at her, she immediately smiled and said.

"How did I accidentally wake you up? I'm so sorry! But do you like me doing this?"

Zhang Jianjun looked at Qin Huairu who was massaging his legs and spoke with a smile.

"I like it! Of course I like it! Sister Qin's massage technique is amazing. I feel very relaxed all over my body."

Qin Huairu said shyly: "As long as you like it, I will take time to give you a massage every day, but don't forget me, Sister Qin, when you have something delicious."

Zhang Jianjun nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, Sister Qin, it's just some food. I just received more than 6,000 yuan in compensation. What kind of food can't I buy?"

"Don't just pound your legs, come and massage my shoulders. I don't know what happened these past few days, but my shoulders have been sore."

Qin Huairu did not dare to delay upon hearing this and hurriedly began to massage Zhang Jianjun's shoulders. After half an hour, Qin Huairu spoke.

"Jianjun, you are really amazing. I guess you have more than 10,000 in savings now? It's getting late. I have to go. I will come back to give you a massage tomorrow night."

Zhang Jianjun muttered in dissatisfaction: "What? Are you leaving now?"

"Women are really unreliable. I have to get up early tomorrow and report to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill first, and then buy some Chinese medicine to prepare the liquid medicine."

After all, practicing ancient martial arts requires the use of medicine, otherwise it will only be counterproductive. Zhang Jianjun plans to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine early tomorrow morning, and then officially start training.

Everything was planned well, but Zhang Jianjun slept until 10:30 in the morning. He didn't even have time to buy medicine. He had to go to the neighborhood committee to get a letter of introduction, and then report to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After locking his three rooms with big locks, Zhang Jianjun went to the street office. Director Wang had already prepared a letter of introduction and kept praising his cooking skills and the delicious braised pork.

After saying goodbye to Director Wang, Zhang Jianjun hurried to the Red Star Steel Mill. Before he entered the factory gate, he was stopped by two people from the Security Department.

In the past, the people in the factory's security department had enormous power, far more than the current security guards can compare to, so Zhang Jianjun had no choice but to politely take out the letter of introduction.

"Brothers, I was introduced by Director Wang from the Street Office. Here is my letter of introduction."

After checking the letter, the security staff nodded and took Zhang Jianjun to Director Yang's office. After explaining the situation, the security staff left.

Zhang Jianjun hurriedly handed over the letter of introduction: "Hello, Director Yang. My name is Zhang Jianjun. Here is my letter of introduction. Please have a look."

Director Yang picked up the letter of introduction and began to read it. Then he smiled and asked.

"Great! You're the orphan of a martyr and you know a little bit about machinist work. The organization will definitely take care of you. By the way, have you passed the exam? What level of machinist work are you at now?"

Zhang Jianjun pretended to be ignorant and explained: "I don't know what level of fitter I am. My parents taught me all my skills since I was a child, and I have never taken any exams."

Director Yang nodded, indicating that he already knew it.

"How about this! You prepare today and come to work officially at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The factory will have a technician grade test tomorrow. After your fitter grade is determined, we will determine your salary. What do you think?"

Zhang Jianjun nodded hurriedly, smiled and said: "I will follow Director Yang's arrangements. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I will be there on time at nine o'clock tomorrow."

After solving his work problems, Zhang Jianjun left the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He wanted to buy everything he needed today.
