Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

When Jia Dongxu walked out of the east wing, he had already figured out that his master would not contribute much to keeping Banggeng in the city.

"Dongxu, what did the uncle say?"

"Master said he would find a way to find someone. Actually, I think it's okay to let Banggeng cut in line. Listen to me first..."

Jia Dongxu signaled Qin Huairu not to move. Under Qin Huairu's gaze, he thought for a moment and said, "I plan to find a place for Banggeng that is closer to Yanjing, Hebei Province will do, such as Changshan and Baoding, which are also close to home and can be reached by train in a few hours."

Qin Huairu was dissatisfied when she heard this: "It can't be Changping or Miyun..."

Jia Dongxu said helplessly: "What good things are you thinking? Our family is just a small one. It's good enough that we can arrange for Banggeng to live in Hebei Province. Go and get my two bottles of Fenjiu. I'll go find Xu Damao when it gets dark."

Qin Huairu pondered for a moment, agreed with the grassroots team's approach, and then worriedly said: "What about my mother..."

"Don't tell her yet. When the notice to jump the queue comes, she will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to."

"Well, if Bang Geng really cuts in line, can he come back?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, an ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.

He whispered to Qin Huairu, "Why are you in such a hurry? In a few years, when my master can no longer do the job, I will let Bang Geng come back to take his place."

"Didn't you just..."

Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide and looked at her man in surprise. He just shook his head and said, "Just know it in your heart. I will do my job as a master when the time comes. Anyway, Banggeng is only eighteen years old now. It's just right for him to hone his skills in the countryside for three to five years."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed and said, "Yes, we will find him a wife when the time comes, and we as parents will have completed our mission."

Jia Dongxu said in a deep voice: "Alright, remember to keep this a secret. Don't tell my mom or Bang Geng about it."

"Well, I see!"

Qin Huairu turned around and went into the house and took out two bottles of Fenjiu from the cabinet.

The lights were on and the moon was above the willows. Everyone in the household had gone back to their rooms to wash up and prepare for rest. Jia Dongxu, carrying two bottles of Fenjiu, walked into the backyard without making a sound.

The backyard was very quiet, with only the deaf old lady and the Xu family. The Liu family's house in the west wing was bought by He Yuzhu after the second aunt died, and it is still empty and pitch black inside.

Jia Dongxu looked at the west wing with envy, and then thought that his master would leave the house to Banggeng a hundred years later, and he suddenly felt balanced again.

dong dong!

"Da Mao, are you asleep?"

"No, is there anything wrong, Brother Dongxu?"

Xu Damao glanced at the Fenjiu in Jia Dongxu's hand, his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of what happened in the Jia family during dinner, and understood why Jia Dongxu came.

Hey, this is alive!

Xu Damao, who was already a senior reporter for the Yanjing Daily, immediately smiled and welcomed Jia Dongxu into the house.

"Hey, Brother Dongxu, you just came, and you brought something with you, that's too polite."

Jia Dongxu placed the Fenjiu on the table, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Da Mao, you can guess why I came here. To be honest, Banggeng is about to graduate..."

"I know about the quota for staying in the city, but Brother Dongxu, you also know that nowadays, let alone a regular employee, even a temporary employee is fought hard by so many people..."

Xu Damao chuckled and said, the meaning is self-evident. How much are you, the grassroots group, prepared to pay?

Jia Dongxu obviously understood what Xu Damao meant. He smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Da Mao, you misunderstood. I just want to find a place for Banggeng to join the queue closer to home."

"This matter..."

Xu Damao showed a disappointed look, regretting that a big order was lost. However, although he couldn't make a lot of money, it would be fine to earn some living expenses!

So he cheered up again and asked, "Then where does Brother Dongxu want to place Banggeng?"

"Ji Province, it's just around Yanjing, Damao, can you arrange it?"

"It's a small matter, but you have to be prepared for this amount!"

Xu Damao stretched out two fingers towards Jia Dongxu and waved them in front of him.

Jia Dongxu looked embarrassed and said, "This is too much, can you give me less?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said, "Dude, this is not much. You want to arrange Banggeng near Yanjing, don't other people want to arrange their own children? There are only so many places. If you are late, the price will not be the same. After the expiration date, you can't buy a place even if you pay. You can just wait for Banggeng to be arranged to the border area!"

The grassroots group was silent. They agreed with what Xu Damao said, but the problem was that their psychological price was only one hundred yuan!

"Really can't miss it?"

“Not a cent less!”

Xu Damao came over and whispered, "This is because we have been neighbors for so many years. I pay the same amount to others. Besides, if you pay first to others, aren't you afraid that they will swallow your money and not do anything?"

Xu Damao stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow!"

"Okay, it's hard for Brother Dongxu to leave!"

Jia Dongxu left the backyard and was about to go home when he suddenly saw that the light in the east wing was still on. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Master, are you asleep?"

"Dongxu, what's the matter?"

"Master, it's like this..."

Jia Dongxu pondered for a moment, and under the gaze of Yi Zhonghai and Auntie, he roughly recounted to Yi Zhonghai the conversation he had just had at Xu Damao's house.

I'm here to borrow money. Well, it's not much. Two hundred can solve the problem of Banggeng cutting in line, and I don't have to use any favors.

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt exchanged a glance, then said to Jia Dongxu, "I am going to go see Director Li tomorrow. I will arrange a job for Banggeng even at the cost of my reputation..."

Jia Dongxu was touched and said, "Master, thank you for your trouble."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Hey, I watched Banggeng grow up, so of course I have to help him, but you, as his father, already have a plan, so I won't interfere..."

Jia Dongxu quickly smiled and said, "It's my fault. I made you worry, Master. Besides, I think it's good to let Banggeng go to the countryside to exercise."

"That's right, young people, if you don't endure some hardships while you're young, you'll suffer when you're old. Do you have enough money? I'll give you some..."

An old lady standing by stood up silently and went into the house. When she came out, she had a stack of big unity bills in her hand.

"Dongxu, take these. If it's not enough, your master and I will think of a solution."

"How can I accept this..."

Facing the middle-aged lady, Jia Dongxu seemed particularly helpless at this moment, and the other party forced the big unity into his pocket.

"Thank you, Master. You have taken such great care of our family."

"Okay, go back to bed early, you still have to go to work tomorrow!"
