Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

Everyone talked for a while, but when they saw that Zhao Xiyan didn't say anything, they immediately quieted down.

"I do introduce jobs to people, but the number of places is limited, so we use a point system."

Zhao Xiyan pointed at the notebook in Li Jing's hand and said, "You help the street office to deliver coal to the residents' homes. One mile counts as one point... The top three on the points list will be recommended for jobs by our street office."

"As for the rest, each person will receive 1 cent... This is the only chance, so I hope everyone will cherish it."

"Pulling coal?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then hesitated.

Hauling coal is hard work, and it’s based on a points system. With so many people competing for three spots, it doesn’t seem very cost-effective.

While everyone was hesitating, a few girls had already rolled up their sleeves and started shoveling coal from the coal pile.

"Write down the names of these girls and you'll get one more point..." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Fuck."

Everyone was shocked and rushed forward.

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Xiyan stopped them and said, "Good coal and ordinary coal... shovel half and half. You are not allowed to take all good coal or all bad coal. If you find out, your points will be reset to zero. You can start now."

"Which courtyard are you going to? Tell me quickly..."

Li Jing immediately took people forward to count.

"I'll go to number thirty-two."

"I'll go to number ninety-five."

"I'll go to number 62."

……

Everyone started to call out the yard numbers.

It’s just a day’s work anyway. If you really can’t grab a spot, you still get a dime, right?

Zhao Xiyan looked at the young people who were working hard and couldn't help but waved to Li Jing.

"director……"

"Prepare tea for them, and also provide them with a full lunch." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Yes."

Li Jing responded and started preparing immediately.

Zhao Xiyan moved a stool and watched everyone digging coal with a smile.

not far away.

The window of a black GAZ-50 slowly rolled down, and a handsome middle-aged man sat in the back seat.

"This kid has a way..."

"Who made us live in Nanluoguxiang with so many poor households?" Director Zhang said helplessly, "When we have more people, those lonely elderly people will have to live with coal."

"Things will get better slowly."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Go ahead. I have a meeting to attend... Come back for dinner in the evening."

"Ah."

Director Zhang nodded, got out of the car, and walked towards the street office.

"Hey, the director is here..."

Zhao Xiyan said happily, "Please sit down. I'm going back."

"Screw you."

Director Zhang laughed and scolded, "You promised me that you would be in charge of the distribution of coal..."

"Hasn't this been arranged?" Zhao Xiyan said in surprise.

"Then you have to finish the work." Director Zhang curled his lips and said, "I don't understand the rules you set... If I make a mistake, these people will eat me up."

"have to."

Zhao Xiyan sat back down helplessly.

Director Zhang sighed and sat down next to him.

"What happened again?"

"What else could this be?"

Director Zhang said helplessly, "Winter is coming soon. Those poor households and the elderly may not be able to survive..."

"If you don't have money, just ask your superiors for it. What's the big deal?" Zhao Xiyan said with a pout.

"Go to hell, do you think the higher-ups are the God of Wealth? They'll give you whatever you want." Director Zhang rolled his eyes. "Do you know how many poor families there are in Beijing? If they rely on the money from above... they'll go bankrupt."

"Then just be self-reliant."

Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "Why don't we just set up a self-operated factory in our street office?"

"what?"

Director Zhang was shocked and asked, "What self-operated factory did you say? Tell me in detail..."

"You can apply for the qualifications for a workshop, and let the women in our street run it, such as raising chickens, ducks, and pigs... As long as you have a place, those women can do nothing anyway." Zhao Xiyan lit a cigarette, "We sell these things directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives..."

"What if the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't want it?" Director Zhang asked anxiously.

"No? If you don't want it, I'll go find some factories nearby to sell it to, okay? If the factories nearby don't want it, I'll just pay it as wages, okay?" Zhao Xiyan scolded with a smile, "We don't have money... We can use eggs as wages, according to the market price. If you give a few more, those old ladies will erect a monument to you."

"Screw you."

Director Zhang cursed with a smile, then said with a bitter face, "Raising chickens and ducks these days is not as simple as you say... If we don't take good care of those chickens and ducks, we will lose money."

"Hey."

Zhao Xiyan sighed, "Doesn't our city have an agricultural university? Let them come and help guide the breeding... and by the way, allocate a piece of land for them to do experiments, and make the breeding farm a 'cooperative unit', isn't that enough?"

"good idea."

Director Zhang slapped Zhao Xiyan's shoulder hard, causing him to grimace in pain.

"If you were a little more rude, you could actually save the money."

"How to say?"

Director Zhang widened his eyes.

"It's very simple."

Zhao Xiyan said slowly, "First, find a place and hang up a sign saying 'poverty alleviation unit'... Then go to the Agricultural University to beg for alms. Piglets are not good, but getting some chickens and ducks should not be a problem."

"First, recruit the poorest people. Don't mention wages or anything like that. Just provide them with food. Let the students from the Agricultural College teach them how to feed the chickens and ducks. The chickens lay eggs, the eggs lay chickens... That's it."

"hiss."

Director Zhang took a breath of cold air.

"As for the feed, you can go to the winery... they have the lees, and then you can coax the students to help you turn the lees into the perfect feed. To say coax is not appropriate, it should be said that you can do it as a research project."

Zhao Xiyan chuckled and said, "Wait until they start working on it, then write them a letter of praise, praising their research results. They will probably work hard for you..."

……

Director Zhang was stunned.

If this guy were in the old society, he would most likely be a capitalist.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhao Xiyan scolded with a smile.

"Xiao Zhao, let's go...my girl is taking office today, let's go see her."

Director Zhang reached out and pulled him up, then walked towards his car.

"Stop it, I'll get the certificate tomorrow..." Zhao Xiyan said helplessly.

"what?"

Director Zhang raised his voice by eight degrees, "Who are you with? Qin Huairu? You don't know, her family..."

"Zhang Youyi."

When Director Zhang heard the name Zhao Xiyan, he was stunned at first, and then he became furious.

"What do you mean, Zhao Xiyan? Do you think my girl is not good enough for you? I told you that and you are still trying to do this?"

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and reached out to pinch Zhao Xiyan's ears.

"Don't worry, it hurts..."

"It's so painful, my girl is pretty and has a good job, you..."

Director Zhang was halfway through his words when he heard a shout from behind him.

"mom."

"mom?"

Zhao Xiyan turned his head and met the eyes of a girl in an old military uniform.

"It's you……"

The two of them spoke at the same time, which made Director Zhang confused.
