Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongxu coming out of the east wing through the window. As soon as he came back, she asked softly, "How is the matter going?"

"It went smoothly. Xu Damao said there was no problem. As for the money issue, my master has already solved it for me."

Jia Dongxu took out the big unity from his pocket, and Qin Huairu took it with shining eyes and counted it.

Qin Huairu said indignantly: "Two hundred, so much? Isn't Xu Damao too mean?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Let Xu Damao do this. His family is here, so at least Monk Sande can't run away. Besides, among the people we know, who else can do this except Xu Damao?"

Qin Huairu returned the Great Unity to Jia Dongxu reluctantly.

"Yes, Xu Damao has many crooked ways. Apart from him, we can't count on anyone else for this matter."

For example, Qin Huairu also wanted to have a good relationship with Yu Li, but unfortunately, apart from being polite on the surface, the other party never gave in, as if they were afraid that the Jia family would take advantage of the He family.

As for the Chang family in the 93rd courtyard next door, they could not afford to marry into the family. Unless it was a life-threatening situation, they would never waste the friendship of being neighbors for many years.

After the couple was careful and affectionate with each other for a while, they turned off the lights and went to bed.

Time passed quickly and it was the end of June 1973. The senior students of Red Star Middle School graduated, but they were not happy about not having to study anymore after graduation, because in the next month, if they did not take the initiative, the staff of the Youth League Office would come to their homes to mobilize them to go to the countryside to join the production team.

Banggeng was walking listlessly in the alley, carrying a military green satchel.

"Hey, Bang Bang, are you skipping class?"

Banggeng turned his head and saw Chang Wanzhu coming from behind on a bicycle.

He looked at the green military uniform on the other person, his face darkened and he said, "Chang Wanzhu, are you stupid? I graduated today."

After he finished speaking, he took out his high school diploma and a big award certificate from his trouser pocket, and sneered at Chang Wanzhu: "Do you have a high school diploma? You didn't even finish high school..."

"Hey, are you crazy? You dare to show your teeth to me? Is your skin tight again? Do you want me to help you loosen it up?"

Chang Wanzhu threw her bicycle aside with excitement, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Banggeng.

"Chang Laowu, I won't argue with you today. Just wait for me..."

Banggeng's face changed. Thinking of the tragic memories from the past, he suddenly felt pain all over his body. He quickly took two steps back, turned around and ran.

"Bah, you useless thing, I'm too lazy to cut you!"

Chang Wanzhu spat on the ground, picked up the bicycle, and left at lightning speed. When passing by the fleeing Banggeng, she made a face at him, scaring him so much that he was stunned.

"Bah, isn't it just that you have a good brother? Why are you so proud?"

Banggeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Anzhu had gone far away. But then he remembered that Chang Wanzhu was the same age as him and was already a cadre in the army. His face suddenly twisted with jealousy.

Thinking about himself, he didn't know whether his father had arranged a job for him. If not, he would have gone from being a city dweller to a country bumpkin digging for food in the soil...

When Banggeng thought about the appearance of the farmers who came to the city that he saw every day, he couldn't accept going to the countryside to join the production team.

The boy who was once carefree in school suddenly realized the gap at this moment after graduation.

Some people are born in heaven, while others have to struggle in the mud all their lives.

At this moment, Banggeng seemed to deeply understand the cruelty of society, and an extreme desire for status surged in his heart.

"I want to stay in the city and become a high-ranking official..."

Bang Geng clenched his fists, and a raging fire appeared in his eyes.

"Mom, when does my dad get off work?"

"Great! Have you graduated from school?"

"Here, this is your diploma. When will my dad be back?"

Banggeng handed the high school diploma to Qin Huairu, who looked at it happily, but it was snatched away by Jia Zhangshi who was standing nearby.

"My grandson is really amazing. He has graduated from high school. Old Jia, our Jia family finally has an educated person. Huairu, what job did Dongxu arrange for Banggeng?"

Qin Huairu's smile froze, and she said unnaturally, "Mom, I'm just a woman. Banggeng's job is something that the eldest uncle and Dongxu and other men should consider."

"is it?"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and questioned, "You two have been so secretive lately, are you hiding something from me?"

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "How could that be possible? It's just a small matter at home..."

Seeing them chattering non-stop, Bang Geng raised his voice and asked, "Mom, when will my dad be back?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Your dad knows you're graduating today and will be back early at noon. Look, mom bought you your favorite chicken and pork."

Banggeng went to the kitchen to take a look and his saliva was almost flowing. He immediately urged Qin Huairu to cook quickly.

"I think there will be chaos at home today."

Jia Dongxu rode his bicycle through the alleys. He did not go to work this morning and took half a day off to go to the Youth League Office. He found the person arranged by Xu Damao. When the other party saw him, he took out an application form and asked him to fill it out without saying a word, allowing him to choose any area around Yanjing.

Now the notice of queue jumping with the official seal is in the briefcase. I think Banggeng should be able to accept it after seeing it, right?

When Jia Dongxu appeared from the entrance of the alley, Bang Geng, who was squatting under the tree at the gate of the compound, jumped up and rushed to him.

When Jia Dongxu saw this situation, his heart skipped a beat. Why was this kid acting so anxious today?

It was obviously not like this yesterday. After all, over the past month, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu have hinted to each other more than once that it is difficult to find jobs and that they should be prepared to go to the countryside to work at any time.

Bang Geng grabbed the handlebars of the bicycle and asked anxiously, "Dad, do I have a job?"

"That's a good joke. You know we are a small family..."

Bang Geng glared at him and said, "You mean, I have to cut in line?"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Jia Dongxu no longer tried to hide it and admitted generously: "That's right, but don't worry, I don't have the ability to arrange a job for you, but I have arranged a good place for you close to home."

He lowered his voice when saying the last sentence, thinking that Banggeng would accept it, and even took out the queue-jumping notice and handed it to the other party.

Bang Geng took the notice with trembling hands. He looked at his name on it and the official seal at the bottom, and suddenly shouted, "Why do you decide for me? Did I say I wanted to join the queue?"

Snapped!

Jia Dongxu cursed in a low voice: "Asshole, how can you say such nonsense?"

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he looked into the alley. Fortunately, it was a hot day and there was no one in the alley at noon.

Banggeng covered his mouth, looked at Jia Dongxu hatefully, then turned around and ran away with the notice of queue jumping.
