Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

After returning from Sha Zhu's house, Zhou Jianjun began to have a headache.

Although there was a stove in the house, there were no coal balls at all, and the whole house was cold.

Zhou Jianjun lay on the simple bed, tossing and turning for a long time without falling asleep.

In desperation, he could only run to Taoyuan to sleep. Although he only laid a mattress on the lawn of Taoyuan, Zhou Jianjun still felt much more comfortable. After all, the climate in Taoyuan was too comfortable.

In the early morning, when Zhou Jianjun slowly woke up, the yard was already a bustling scene. The loud speaker was playing nostalgic music, reminding everyone that it was time to go out to work.

Zhou Jianjun walked out of the house and looked at the people busy in the yard, feeling a little amused.

"Is this the passion that belongs to this era?"

"Most people don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes all day, but they still want to build their own motherland."

"It seems that there are more than just beasts in this courtyard!"

In the busy crowd, Sha Zhu stood out. He stood by the pool, brushing his teeth while occasionally peeking in the direction of Jia's house.

"This Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu hasn't even come yet, but he's already thinking about other people's wives."

"You'll be 25 in a year or two. If you don't find a wife for yourself, thinking about other people's wives all day, no wonder Qin Huairu will suck your blood for the rest of your life."

After a few sighs in his heart, Zhou Jianjun walked out. He had already washed up in Taoyuan, where the climate was pleasant, and he didn't want to run outside in the cold weather to grab the faucet with others.

When he walked to the front yard, Yan Fugui saw Zhou Jianjun walking out, and shouted at him: "Jianjun, go out!"

Early in the morning, the first thing Yan Fugui did was to open the gate, and then he started his job as a gatekeeper.

"Yes, Third Uncle. There is no food at home, so I'm going out to eat something. It's just right for me to go to the street office after eating." Zhou Jianjun answered casually.

"Well, I have to go to the street office early. I have to confirm the job first." Yan Fugui said, and turned to walk home.

Halfway through the walk, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"After Jianjun is demobilized, the street office will definitely assign him a job. In this way, plus his father's job, his family will have an extra job."

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui hurried home and told the matter to Third Aunt and Yan Jiecheng.

After hearing this, the two were also very excited. Yan Jiecheng said excitedly: "Dad, then you go talk to Brother Jianjun and ask him to give me the extra position! I'm staying at home all day doing odd jobs, which is not a big deal!"

Yan Fugui looked at his eldest son calmly and said: "I will definitely tell Jianjun, but let's make it clear in advance. If you get a formal job, you have to pay ten yuan home every month."

"No! At least fifteen yuan!"

Yan Jiecheng was anxious when he heard it, "Why! Even if I get a job, the monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan. Why should I pay 15 yuan? This is too much!"

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng unhappily and said: "Don't worry, I'll do the math for you and you'll understand. If I ask Jianjun for a job, I have to pay you, right? He won't I'll give you a job for free."

"Your mother and I have worked hard to raise you. You should repay us now that you have a job, right?"

"After you get a job, you still live at home, so you have to pay rent!"

"Do the math. All these add up. I'm asking you for 15 yuan a month, which is too little!"

Listening to Yan Fugui's calculations, Yan Jiecheng's head was about to burst. He was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted to Yan Fugui: "Dad, you are too calculating, aren't you?"

"You can eat well and wear well, but you will be poor if you don't calculate." Yan Fugui was muttering, and he saw Yan Jiecheng was already trembling with anger. He hurriedly said: "If you don't want to, go find Jianjun yourself and see if he will agree to give you the job."

After hesitating for a long time, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to agree to Yan Fugui's proposal.

"Dad, let's make a deal. 15 yuan a month, and you can't raise the price in the future." Yan Jiecheng said.

"We'll talk about the future later." Yan Fugui said, and then said to the third aunt: "Mother, keep an eye on me. I have to go to school to work during the day, and I can only tell Jianjun about this when I come back at night."

"If someone comes to talk to Jianjun during the day, you must listen carefully and don't let others take this job."

"I know." The third aunt replied.

At the same time, at the first uncle's house.

"Old Yi, I just saw Jianjun go out." The first aunt said to Yi Zhonghai."Just go out, what's the big deal." Yi Zhonghai answered casually while eating steamed bread.

"This child is so pitiful, he is the only one left at home. He just came back, and there is probably no food at home." Auntie sighed.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he murmured: "Yes, he is the only one at home. When he is demobilized, the street must assign him a job. After all, there are policies for military demobilization."

Auntie echoed: "Yes, with a job, he won't have to worry about food and drink."

"I'm not talking about food and drink." Yi Zhonghai was excited, "His father originally had a job, and the street assigned him another one. In this way, he has two jobs in his hands."

"What's wrong with two jobs? He can find a wife and leave it to his wife! These days, jobs are so valuable." Auntie said.

"So we have to get that job before he gets married." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Why are you coming here? Do you want me to go to work?" Auntie Yi asked curiously.

"Haven't I always planned to let Dongxu take care of us in our old age?" Yi Zhonghai's face became more and more excited, "Take that position and let Qin Huairu go to work there. In this way, the Jia family will have to owe us a huge favor, and they can't not take care of us in the future!"

"That's not good, after all, that's Jianjun's own position..." Auntie Yi hesitated.

"What's wrong with that? When the time comes, let the Jia family pay a little money to subsidize Jianjun." Yi Zhonghai said, and stood up and walked out, "I have to discuss it with Dongxu."

At this time, it was not just Uncle Yi and Uncle San who were eyeing Zhou Jianjun's job.

After a night, many people in the courtyard realized that Zhou Jianjun had two jobs.

Many people began to silently calculate in their hearts how to get the extra position in Zhou Jianjun's hands.
