Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Not long after Liu Haizhong returned home, he saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng go to Zhang Renkang's house. He was wondering what Yan Bugui was doing at Zhang Renkang's house. Normally, Yan Bugui would not come to the backyard.

Half an hour ago, Yan Jiamin

Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng and the second aunt were sitting on the bed, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang were standing at the door, and the fourth child was still playing in the yard. Yan Bugui said

"Boss, this family will give you money to find Zhang Renkang to smooth things over. After you start working, you will give them 15 yuan a month until you pay off the money you paid for the job."

Yan Jiecheng nodded. He had no objection to this. Besides, it was good enough that Yan Bugui was willing to give him money to buy a job. After paying off Yan Bugui, it would be his free money. Yan Jiecheng understood this clearly.

Yan Bugui continued

"Also, since you're working, you'll have to pay for food and accommodation when you eat at home. If it's seven dollars a month, five dollars for food and two dollars for accommodation, that's a good deal, right?"

Yan Jiecheng was unwilling to do this and said

"Dad, I'll go to work and I'll give you half of the money to pay off my debts for the job. I have no problem with that. You can also charge me for food and accommodation. I'll pay 22 yuan a month and I'll only keep yuan?"

"That's too much. What do we eat at home? I only have five dollars."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and said

"Don't be unconvinced. It's not a favor for me to ask Zhang Renkang to find you a job. Besides, I raised you to this age, and I have to pay for your job. You eat, live, and use things at home, so shouldn't you pay for it?"

"If you don't want to, let Jiefang go. I think Jiefang will agree."

Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up as he stood at the door. He was so willing. He was only eighteen and he could pay off his debts for a few years. Then it would be his time to enjoy his life. Yan Jiecheng also understood the temperament of his family. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he quickly got in the way.

"Okay, okay, I accept it. Twenty-two dollars is twenty-two dollars."

Yan Bugui began to ponder and said

"You said, it costs 500 yuan to buy a job now. We are neighbors with Zhang Renkang, so it is reasonable for him to give us a lower price. Besides, this is just a temporary position, and whether it can be converted to a regular position is still to be determined later. I think 240 or 250 yuan is fine, right?"

Before Yan Jiecheng could say anything, Yan Jiefang on the side laughed and said

"Dad, do you think this is a market to buy vegetables? You're picking and choosing, bargaining. If you think this way, you'd better not go. Otherwise, you'll offend others again. Then our whole family will have to suffer with you."

Yan Jiecheng also smiled bitterly

"Dad, can you please stop calculating everything? Do you think Zhang Renkang is so easy to talk to?"

"Don't make it so that I can't go there anymore. Besides, a job now pays 700-800 yuan. You're only paying 500 yuan to Zhang Renkang because you're a member of the same hospital. And you still want to take advantage of him?"

Yan Bugui said indignantly

"I just want to save as much as possible. How can you know how hard it is to save money at home? Is it easy for me to support the four of you with just one salary?"

"If I hadn't thought about this, several of you four siblings would have starved to death long ago."

After the Yan family had a democratic meeting, Yan Bugui drove out Yan Jiecheng and the others, asked the second aunt to guard the door, drew the curtains, carefully moved the rice jar, lifted a floor tile and took out a tin box. The Yan family did not deposit money in the bank. In Yan Bugui's words,

"If the bank runs away someday, who will you ask for money from?"

All his family's money was hidden in his house. He carefully counted out 500 yuan from it, put away the saved 300 yuan, put the floor tiles on it, carefully moved the rice jar, and put it back to its original place. Even the outline of the ground was carefully pressed by Yan Bugui, so that there was no trace of the rice jar being moved. The cunning thing was that Yan Bugui deliberately messed up the quilt on the bed to make it look like he was looking for something on the bed.

He took the money and went out, calling Yan Jiecheng to go to the backyard.

Zhang Renkang had just put away the two bottles of Huamao sent by Liu Haizhong when Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng came over. They poured tea for the two of them on the sofa. Zhang Renkang smiled and said,

"Has Second Master come to his senses?"

Yan Bugui smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum and said softly

"Renkang, can you please see if you can get your brother Jie Cheng a permanent position?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"This patrol team is mainly composed of workers from our factory and we do not plan to recruit people from the society."

"Plus, this job basically doesn't involve any physical labor. I think the factory can provide all of these."

Seeing Zhang Renkang say this, Yan Jiecheng immediately became anxious and said

"Brother Renkang, oh no, Director Zhang, when do you think I can start work?"

As he said this, he winked at Yan Bugui. His father was calculating to the core. He didn't consider the situation at all and subconsciously wanted to take advantage. He didn't hear that Zhang Renkang meant that he didn't intend to care. How could Yan Bugui not understand what Zhang Renkang meant? He just wanted to fight for it out of habit, which almost annoyed Zhang Renkang. Seeing Yan Jiecheng desperately winking at him, Yan Bugui had to take out a good wad of money and said,

"Renkang, here's 500 yuan. Please decide when to let Jie Cheng report for duty."

Zhang Renkang smiled lightly. If Yan Bugui didn't give him some strength, he really wouldn't know how many bowls of rice he had eaten. He smiled and said

"I happen to have a few vacancies that I have personally appointed. Alas, you can't tell anyone about this. It will have a bad impact. If they come to me, how can I continue to work?"

Yan Bugui quickly smiled and nodded and said

"Don't worry, Renkang, you don't know your uncle's secret. He is very tight-lipped and will never tell anyone."

(Xu Damao’s lost egg is not convinced, you are the most strict, how did Shazhu know I was at home)

Zhang Renkang looked at Yan Bugui's confident expression and sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and he continued:

"That's good, Jie Cheng. This job of yours is not easy to come by. You should cherish it. Starting tomorrow, you should report to the Ideological and Political Affairs Committee of the factory. Someone will assign specific tasks for you."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he was relieved and nodded his head repeatedly to express his gratitude. Yan Bugui also smiled and complimented Zhang Renkang repeatedly. Zhang Renkang waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be polite, and then said:

"However, I have to remind you that the work of the patrol team is not that simple. You have to be mentally prepared."

Yan Jiecheng felt a little nervous when he heard this, but he felt extremely satisfied when he thought that he would soon have a formal job. No matter what, he would be a employed person now, so it would not be impossible for him to find a partner, right?

Yan Jiecheng just wants to get his job done so he can find a partner. As for other things, he doesn't have any ideas in his mind yet.

The two chatted with Zhang Renkang for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. On the way home, Yan Bugui kept telling Yan Jiecheng to cherish this opportunity, work hard, and strive to get a regular job as soon as possible, so as not to waste his family's money. As long as Yan Jiecheng can get a regular job, at worst he can think of a way to ask Zhang Renkang for a promotion, and then Yan Jiecheng can get a raise.

Yan Bugui had been teaching Yan Jiecheng how to learn to please Zhang Renkang all the way, so as to get him a permanent job as soon as possible. But unfortunately, Yan Jiecheng's mind was full of finding a partner and he didn't care about whether he could please Zhang Renkang or not. Besides, Yan Jiecheng was the kind of person who was overambitious and wanted to save face. He was only a few years older than Zhang Renkang, so it would be fine if he wasn't as successful as Zhang Renkang, but he was also asked to please Zhang Renkang. Yan Jiecheng felt that he couldn't do it.

(It’s actually the same in today’s society. Resources are limited. Whoever can lower himself to be the son or grandson of someone who is better than you can climb up. So brothers, face is nothing. Seize the opportunity and make progress so that you will be qualified to provide a better life for your family.)
