Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Oh, whatever you want." Bei Qing sighed helplessly.

"I have another radio, do you want it?" Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Yes, I want as many as you can get."

Hearing the radio, Bei Qing immediately became alert.

The so-called Zhengbai Banner is just empty talk, silver is king.

Over the years, their family, starting from their grandfather's generation, has spent almost everything that can be spent.

Now the whole family depends on him for work. If he doesn't find a way out, the whole family would have starved to death long ago.

A radio costs 300 yuan, and he can get 30 yuan, which is equivalent to his monthly salary.

"Wait."

Zhao Xiyan went outside for a walk and came back with two bags in his hands.

Bei Qing's heart beat faster when he saw the shape of the cotton bag.

"Two, bro?"

"Yes, that's all for now. If you want more, it may take some time." Zhao Xiyan shook his head, "Besides, those old ladies in the yard are staring at me every day. I'm afraid it won't work if you keep coming to my house..."

There were no telephones these days, so it was really inconvenient to keep in touch.

Bei Qing pondered for a while and whispered, "Brother, I'll open a small door in your backyard... I'll come here every three days. If you have any goods to sell, you can put a door god on the small door."

"also."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll take the stuff out first. It's not safe to leave it here."

Bei Qing ran away carrying two cotton bags.

Zhao Xiyan lay down for a while and was thinking about where to go for a walk when suddenly someone came to the door.

"Does Zhao Xiyan live here?"

"Um, Sister Li, why are you here?"

Zhao Xiyan looked at the street office clerk in front of him in surprise.

Director Zhang just left, what is this clerk doing here?

"Comrade Zhao Xiyan, I am Li Jing, a clerk from the Subdistrict Office. I am here to advise you on behalf of the Subdistrict Office..."

"What the hell is persuasion?"

Zhao Xiyan looked stunned.

"I'm just trying to persuade you to go to work," Li Jing said seriously, "You're a grown man, you can't just stay at home every day... You're not physically disabled, you should make contributions to the country."

"Don't I have someone at work?" Zhao Xiyan said angrily.

"That's different."

Li Jing said seriously, "Now there are too few workers and cadres everywhere... You are educated, you should go to work."

"I'm not going." Zhao Xiyan said seriously.

"If you don't go, we will persuade you every day at work..."

"I have something to do. I need to go out now." Zhao Xiyan said helplessly.

Grassroots cadres these days are really responsible.

Even though there is no job, I still go to people’s homes to give advice.

"OK."

Li Jing nodded and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it first."

"okay, thank you."

Zhao Xiyan ran away in a flash.

He found a state-owned restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and had a bottle of Arctic Ocean beer. He then hung out outside for a few hours and didn't go home until the evening.

But he didn't expect that Li Jing came again less than five minutes after he entered the door.

"Comrade Zhao Xiyan, let's get started."

"No, do you really have to persuade me for two hours?" Zhao Xiyan said helplessly.

"Yes, this is my mission." Li Jing said seriously.

"Okay, go ahead and persuade me." Zhao Xiyan said gritting his teeth.

Li Jing then began to talk to him about the righteousness of the country and family, and the talk lasted for more than half an hour.

When Qin Huairu came back from get off work, she looked at Li Jing in surprise.

"Xiao Zhao, this is..."

"Hello, Comrade Qin Huairu. I'm Li Jing from the Street Office. I was sent by the Street Office to advise Comrade Zhao Xiyan." Li Jing said softly, "He's a grown man, he can't stay at home every day."

"Oh."

Qin Huairu looked at her strangely. After taking two steps, she saw the bicycle in the backyard and couldn't help but screamed, "Hey, Xiao Zhao, where did this bicycle come from?"

"I bought it for you."

Zhao Xiyan stood up and said with a smile, "Clerk Li, I'm going to talk to my wife now...why don't you step aside?"

"Okay, it's time for dinner now, I'll come back after dinner."

Li Jing nodded, turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Xiao Zhao, did you buy this bicycle?"

Qin Huairu stared with her big watery eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.

"if not?"

Zhao Xiyan spread his hands and said, "You have such a long commute to get off work every day, I can't let you walk every day, right?"

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, you are so nice."

Qin Huairu held his head and kissed him fiercely.

"Alright, alright."

Zhao Xiyan cursed with a smile and flipped his right hand.

A small box appeared in his hand.

"Xiao Zhao, what is this?" Qin Huairu said while hugging him.

"look by youself."

Zhao Xiyan stuffed the box into her hands.

After Qin Huairu opened it carefully, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Xiyan asked with a smile.

"Did you really buy a watch?" Qin Huairu asked in a low voice.

"Why are you speaking so quietly?" Zhao Xiyan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"We can't let anyone know about this." Qin Huairu looked around the courtyard. "The bicycle is fine... everyone can see it, but what if the watch is stolen?"

"Who stole your watch?"

Zhao Xiyan opened the watch pocket and put it on her fair wrist.

Qin Huairu stroked the watch and said in a tender voice, "Xiao Zhao, does it look good?"

"Okay."

Zhao Xiyan looked at her and smiled, "With a watch, I don't have to guess the time every day..."

"Xiao Zhao."

Qin Huairu put her arms around him and said softly, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"You earn money to support me."

Zhao Xiyan patted her head and chuckled, "You are the main earner of the family. If I treat you badly, what will you do if you don't support me in the future?"

"Hate."

Qin Huairu said coquettishly, "Director Qin said that you are a very capable person and hopes that you can work in the factory's publicity department."

"Stop it. Isn't it good for me to be free now? Why do I have to go to work?" Zhao Xiyan changed the subject and said, "I say... What time is it? Aren't you going to make dinner?"

"Yes, yes, cook."

Qin Huairu immediately took off her watch, put it in the box, and started cooking.

More than an hour later.

Zhao Xiyan was teaching Qin Huairu how to ride a bike in the backyard, but he didn't expect Li Jing to come again.

This guy actually talked for two full hours before leaving.

Nine o'clock.

The two of them lay on the cool bed.

Qin Huairu hugged him and said, "Xiao Zhao, how about I go talk to Director Zhang and ask Li Jing not to come..."

"Don't go and ask for trouble." Zhao Xiyan shook his head.

These days jobs are assigned.

As long as you have a city hukou, you can basically find a job.

Of course, there is also a small group of people who don't want to work.

Therefore, they were given a sacred name by the general public - blind drifters.

The street office will not allow these vagrants to wander around every day. After all, if they have a lot of free time and no money, they are likely to do bad things.
