Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 109
When Chu Xiangqian saw that Liu Yifa still wanted to test himself, he cursed inwardly and shook his head, "It's fine to rent a room in the east wing. After I marry a wife and have children, if you suddenly come back to take the house back, then I will be caught blind.

Since you don't want to sell it, I will go to the Street Archives Department tomorrow to check if there is any suitable house in this area. "

Liu Yifa couldn't hold back anymore, if Chu Xiangqian went to check the files, he might be able to find out the name of his youngest son, who bought a small yard in Mao'er Hutong.

"Wait," Liu Yifa suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked pretending to hesitate, "Comrade Chu, if you really want to buy it, how much can you offer?"

Since Chu Xiangqian had Liu Yifa under control, he naturally wouldn't give a high price, but he couldn't lower the price too much.

After thinking about it, I reported a '400'.

Liu Yifa subconsciously wanted to talk about the price again, which was a hundred or two hundred different from what he had in mind.

Liao Wenfang agreed straight away, "Okay, Lao Liu and I planned to go to the Northwest a few years ago, so we can be more active and apply for a better house.

And the sooner the work is done, the sooner you feel at ease. "

Liu Yifa was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses.

This was not the time to be wordy at all, since the house was sold to Chu Xiangqian, he would not check the files.

He can also find a way to transfer his family's files from the street because of job transfers, and take them to the northwest to file.

When I return to the capital in the future, I will return to the capital with the files placed in the northwest.

Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy, "Then shall we go through the formalities tomorrow?"

Liu Yifa nodded, "Okay, we will go to transfer the property tomorrow morning. However, Comrade Chu, my price is indeed a bit low, so I would like to ask you for a favor."

Chu Xiangqian nodded hesitantly, and then heard Liu Yifa say, "I am in a hurry to go to the northwest to contribute to the country, so I would like to ask you to introduce and introduce the leaders of your street archives for help.

Call out the files of our family earlier, so that I can get letters of introduction for my two children, and the files are also needed for the transfer. "

Chu Xiangqian would not say that he was very familiar with Xue Hongmei, who was in charge of the archives in the street, and he pretended to say, "Then you go to the unit to issue a certificate tomorrow morning, and we will go to the street to retrieve the files together, and then go to the transfer."

Liu Yifa nodded hurriedly.

Before Chu Xiangqian left, he saw a pair of muddy rubber shoes at the door of the East Wing.

With a heartbeat, he pretended to tie his shoelaces and took a rubber shoe into Xinshou Village.

After Da Zhuang and Hong Niu smelled the rubber shoes, they immediately put the rubber shoes back in place.

After he left, Liao Wenfang asked worriedly, "Master, are you sure that Chu Xiangqian doesn't know about the courtyard in Mao'er Hutong?"

At this moment, Liu Yifa couldn't be completely sure in his heart.

But thinking about it carefully, if Chu Xiangqian knew that there was a treasure hidden in Mao'er Alley, he might as well take it out secretly by himself.

At that time, even if I knew it, I didn't dare to say it.

I even found that the baby was missing, and I don't know how many years later.

"Wen Fang, do you think we are scaring ourselves?"

Liao Wenfang was taken aback, this guess is really not impossible.

But then I thought about it, "The head of the family, don't care if it's true or not, in short, we can no longer leave the files on the street. And we can't let the surname Chu go to the street to check the files because he didn't buy the East Wing.

Maybe this kid is holding a grudge, but he will take a look at our family's files on purpose instead.

At that time, there is no guarantee that he will not suspect that there is something wrong with us because we secretly used Guodong's name to buy the yard in Mao'er Hutong. "

Liu Yifa sighed after thinking about it, "Forget it, it's fine to leave."

Liao Wenfang also nodded, if this continues, the couple might be driven crazy by the treasure.

Chu Xiangqian left Liu Yifa's house, thought about it, and went directly to the third grandpa's house.

I already have 3 gold bars and 792 yuan in my hand, which is enough to buy the East Wing.

But in order to avoid some troubles, it is better to borrow some money.

Seeing that it was Chu Xiangqian who came to the door, Yan Fugui felt uneasy at first.

Yan Jiecheng was also worried that Chu Xiangqian came to trouble him because the street was not cleaned up.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what Yan Xiecheng was thinking, and said to him, "Xiecheng, go and invite the second uncle from the backyard, I have something to ask him and the third uncle.

By the way, today's performance is not bad, and I will work hard to maintain it in the future. "

Yan Fugui's family breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Xiecheng nodded hurriedly, put on his padded jacket and ran to the backyard.

Not long after, Liu Haizhong came to the door with a worried expression on his face and said, "Xiao Chu, is it because my Guangtian and Guangfu were lazy when sweeping the street today?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled and waved his hands, and then said to the third mother, "Third mother, you bring Xie Cheng and the others into the house. The third and second uncles and I have some words that are not good for the children to hear."

The three mothers looked at Yan Fugui, saw Lao Yan nodded, and then drove all four children into the side room.

But he took the opportunity of pouring water and sat on the sidelines.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and whispered to Liu Haizhong and Yan Laogou, "Today I asked my section chief and the section chief of the administrative office about recruiting someone to patrol with me.

I didn't expect it because I didn't say at the beginning whether I wanted to recruit one person or two people.

My section chief and the section chief of the office actually took the initiative to give me two quotas for non-staff personnel.

From now on, I will patrol with me every day. I don’t get paid, but I can eat a meal in a small cafeteria on the street.

There are 2 taels of meal tickets and 2 taels of food tickets every day.Calculated, there are five or six yuan a month. "

Liu Haizhong was still calculating silently in his heart, but Yan Fugui shook his head after listening, "This is wrong, Xiao Chu, 30 days a month, 6 catties of staple food and 6 catties of vegetables.

Even if you go to the pigeon market to buy it, it costs less than five yuan. "

"That's right, that's right," Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, "The price of stick noodles has increased a lot these days, even if it's 3 cents a catty, it's only 1 yuan.

As for 6 catties of vegetables, it is even less valuable. "

Chu Xiangqian smiled slightly, "But what if you can eat stewed fish or braised wild pork with chestnuts twice in three days?"

"This,,."

Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and the third mother all opened their mouths in surprise.

I secretly wonder if the food in your street is so good?

But I remembered that Chu Xiangqian brought a wild boar as big as yesterday, and three hares.

The canteens in this street don't have meat, that's a strange thing.

There is also a street plan to distribute wild boar meat to the poor, widows, and military insurers in the area. Even the district and the city have no control over what they eat in the cafeteria of their work unit.

I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

And since Chu Xiangqian said it, of course he had to ask Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong for money even for this extra-staff job.

Yan Fugui immediately made a calculation in his mind, even if he ate it once every five days, as long as he took it home, it would be 1 catty and 2 taels of chestnut braised pork.

This is a public-private partnership restaurant, at least 1 yuan and 5 yuan, plus a 1 catty meat ticket.

If this happens once every three days, it will be 2 catties of chestnut braised pork, and my family will be able to eat meat every day from now on.

He hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, you are looking for Lao Liu and me, are you planning to entrust this errand to our two families?"

Liu Haizhong and the third mother's eyes lit up.

Chu Xiangqian nodded, "Second uncle, third uncle, I have something to do at home and need money. I want to borrow 200 from you, how about it?"

When Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui and the third mother heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to borrow money, they couldn't help scolding in their hearts.

This is not borrowing, it is obvious that borrowing money is used as an excuse to come to the door to ask for benefits.

However, Yan Fugui is an old pick after all.

He is good at calculating, and after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible to discuss this matter.

"Xiao Chu, how long can you guarantee me and the boy from the old Liu family will work as non-staff personnel?"

Liu Haizhong also reacted.

These days money may not be able to buy food, let alone braised pork with chestnuts.

If Chu Xiangqian can guarantee that his children will do it for two years, then he will earn money.

But if it's less than a year and a half, it's a loss.

Chu Xiangqian already had a plan in mind.

"This meal at noon costs 5 yuan a month, isn't it too much?"

Yan Fugui nodded, seeing this, Liu Haizhong naturally believed that Yan Fugui was an expert in calculations.

Nod along.

Chu Xiangqian then continued, "I will borrow 100 yuan from each of your families, and I will set up an IOU. From now on, I will pay 5 yuan a month for 21 consecutive months.

The extra 5 yuan is regarded as interest, but I will not give you money every month, but let your two boys follow me to the street cafeteria for a bite.

If there is a change in the middle of 21 months.For example, if the two boys in your family are fired after ten months, then I will pay you back for 11 months, which is 55 yuan. "

Liu Haizhong agreed as soon as he heard it, but Yan Fugui hesitated.

It wasn't that he didn't believe in Chu Xiangqian's reputation, but he was worried that Chu Xiangqian, a temporary worker, couldn't last as long as 21 months.

Without hiding, Chu Xiangqian took out his work ID from his pocket.

By the way, I also took the opportunity to tell this courtyard house that Lao Tzu is now an official worker.

As long as no principled mistakes are made, the street cannot dismiss itself.

Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong saw that Chu Xiangqian had not only become a regular worker, but also became a level 9 clerk as soon as he entered the job, with a salary of 30 yuan.

It was sour and envious in my heart.

But it also put them both at ease.

When Liu Haizhong went home to get the money, Yan Fugui had asked the third mother to give him 100 yuan.

Of course there are banks these days, but don't expect to change the minds of ordinary people just 10 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the hearts of many people, they have long been frightened by the chaotic currency and credit of the Republic of China.

Of course, it is safe to keep the money in your own hands and hide it at home.

If there is a thief in the yard, he will never be punished casually like in the TV series.

So Chu Xiangqian never believed that Jia Zhang dared to steal in the courtyard.

Whenever this happens, the custodian Jia Zhang will be driven back to the countryside.

Yan Fugui took advantage of Chu Xiangqian to count the money and asked, "Xiao Chu, what are you borrowing 200 yuan for?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled, "Of course it's a big deal."

Yan Fugui was immediately misled by his words.

And buying a house is naturally a big deal.

Secretly thought, is this kid planning to send money to the leader and want to get a cadre to do it?
Chu Xiangqian put the money in his pocket, no matter how Yan Fugui tried, he just didn't tell the truth.

As for why you have to borrow money.

One is that I don’t want to give the jobs of Yan’s family and Liu Haizhong to two non-staff personnel for nothing.

Moreover, with the matter of borrowing money, after the East Wing is transferred.

When someone asked, he said that he borrowed money from his second and third uncles.

In addition to the money left by my own father, and the 200 borrowed from the Yan family and the Liu family, I bought the East Wing.

Not only can the mouths of the residents in the courtyard be blocked, but there will be no gossip on the street.

Chu Xiangqian was impatient with being asked, and asked with a smile, "Third Master, is your second boy Jiefang still studying?"

"Read," Yan Fugui said, with a proud expression on his face.

"Third Master, although my salary is not high, I still know the importance of studying. Even if I bite the bullet, I will support four children to study."

Now Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to admire Yan Fugui.

But thinking about it, it seems that no one in the old Yan family is promising, so naturally no one has read the book well.

"How about the results of liberation?"

The smile on Yan Fugui's face disappeared immediately.

He smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay."

After finishing speaking, Yan Laogui came to his senses.

Chu Xiangqian intends to hand over the non-staff errands to his second child, instead of offending his boss Yan Xiecheng.

"Moving forward, Xiecheng will be 18 years old after the Chinese New Year, so can't you give him this job?"

Chu Xiangqian naturally refused, but he couldn't speak so bluntly, lest everyone lose face.

"Third Master, it is precisely because Xie Cheng will be 18 during Chinese New Year, rather than letting him have a meal with me, you might as well find him a job as a temporary worker.

But Liberation is different. When I was young, following me was like learning a craft.

After two or three years, he himself became acquainted in the streets.At that time, there was a temporary worker index on the street, and he would definitely be thought of first.

And Xie Cheng should also be promoted from a temporary worker to an apprentice.

At that time, your family will be three workers.Just half of the salary and all the rations handed in by the two sons, your family's life is comfortable. "

Yan Fugui and the three mothers will settle accounts.

Thinking about it carefully, it was really the same as what Chu Xiangqian said.

The most important thing is that Yan Jiefang's academic performance is not as good as that of Yan Jiecheng.

The kid might not even make it through high school.

In this case, it is better to come out to work earlier.

So as not to eat and drink for nothing at home.

But in this way, Yan Xiecheng's work is left to Mr. Yan to solve by himself.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng can't escape from sweeping alleys, public toilets, and garbage dumps.

As for Liu Haizhong's side, Liu Haizhong didn't even need to think about it, he knew that Liu Guangtian must have gotten this job.

After Liu Haizhong came back, he handed Chu Xiangqian 100 yuan and asked, "Xiao Chu, if there is a chance, you can help Guangtian make connections with my family. When he becomes a temporary worker in the street, the second uncle will give you 100 yuan as a thank you."

Yan Fugui wished he could slap himself.

Just now, I was so busy thinking about it that I never thought about directly asking for a temporary worker.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Chu, now the temporary workers outside are asking for 100, and the third master will also give you this price."

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to mention Qinhuai's job of sweeping the streets.

Of course, he wouldn't mention Qin Huairu.

"Today, when I went to the neighborhood committee to check the list of our Nanluoguxiang, military insurance, widowed elderly, and poor households, I heard from Director Wang that the neighborhood committee planned to recruit temporary workers to sweep the streets.

I just heard that poor households are given priority, and it is best to be a woman who has nothing to do at home.Director Wang said that this kind of housewives are careful and will cherish this opportunity.

In order not to recruit a boy into the neighborhood committee, let’s not say if the cleaning is not clean, and he will stop doing it when he can’t keep it clean. "
