Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 542 Lu Lan
After get off work, Ye Zhijuan went back home first, took two bottles of wine, packed about ten pounds of cornmeal, and wrapped a red envelope before going to the message room.

"Master Gao, Ye Zi, I wish you a long and happy life together. May you stand by each other through thick and thin and make progress hand in hand." After Ye Zhijuan arrived and conveyed the message, she placed the things on the table and threw her blessings to the newlyweds with a smile.

"Oh, thank you Director Ye, your gift is so precious." Gao Dashan looked at the things on the table and felt a little at a loss for a moment.

"Master Gao, except for the red envelope, everything else is a thank you gift. Thank you for saving Jingmin." After Ye Zhijuan said this, she bowed to Gao Dashan.

"Oh, Director Ye, what are you doing? Who wouldn't lend a hand when encountering this kind of thing?" Gao Dashan rubbed his hands, then waved his hand generously, not taking this matter to heart.

"That's Master Gao's noble character. As a mother, I cannot remain indifferent. Master Gao, please don't refuse." Although Ye Zhijuan had a smile on her face, her tone did not allow for rebuttal.

After Tang Zhitong rescued Yan Ningning, her family tried every means to find out Tang Zhitong's whereabouts and sent wine and tea. Ye Zhijuan thought the thank-you gift was a bit too much at the time, but now that it happened to her, she knew what empathy meant, and she was willing to give double the amount.

Afterwards, Ye Zhijuan took Zhang Ye's hand and chatted about family matters, such as how old he was, what his zodiac sign was, which county and commune his hometown was, and how many people were in his family.

After learning that Zhang Ye had no relatives except his sister-in-law, Ye Zhijuan felt even more distressed for the girl in front of her, who was only a few years older than her daughter and looked so skinny.

"Master Gao, Ye Zi doesn't have a household registration in Sijiu City yet, right?" After chatting for a few sentences, Ye Zhijuan asked.

"No." Gao Dashan looked at Zhang Ye. Household registration was the biggest problem facing the two of them.

"How about this, I'll go back and ask around and try to find someone to help get Ye Zi a registered permanent residence." Ye Zhijuan promised.

"Oh~ This... This isn't difficult, right?" Gao Dashan naturally knew that household registration was difficult to handle. He could still refuse the thank-you gift, but he really couldn't refuse the household registration issue.

"It's okay to make an exception this time. Master Gao, give me a copy of your household registration booklet and marriage certificate. I'll take them and ask about them first, and then give them to you later." Ye Zhijuan really wanted to get this done, as a thank you gift to Gao Dashan for saving her son's life.

"Hey! Hey!" Gao Dashan hurriedly found it and gave it to Ye Zhijuan, not daring to hesitate for a moment, for fear of missing the opportunity.

"Okay, you guys clean up and eat. I should go back too." Ye Zhijuan flipped through it, took out the document, smiled and nodded to the two of them, then went home to cook.

Now that there is no Internet, the relevant provisions and regulations of each department will be sent to the counterpart units in the form of documents.

Once there are many counterpart units involved, just stamping the documents becomes a huge task, and it's really a lot of work to stamp one load after another.

Some deliver it by running errands, and some deliver it directly by post.

Due to her work, Ye Zhijuan had some understanding of the household registration management of people moving into the old city from outside the city. After all, her own unit would occasionally have people coming in.

From liberation to February 1953, it was the easiest to obtain a household registration in the old city. No documents were needed, and one could settle down as long as the police station verified it.

After that, the process of settling down became a little stricter. One had to have lived in the city for more than three consecutive months, apply for settlement personally, and provide a migration certificate (from another city) and a reliable source of income before one could settle down. Generally speaking, it was still relatively loose.

In 55, due to the increase in the permanent population, the public security department made additional regulations on household registration management. Not only did they cancel the boarding household registration, but they also gradually cleared out the people who came to Beijing from Jiefangkou according to the time of their entry into Beijing, from recent to far. Those who did not meet the requirements for applying for formal household registration had their formal household registration canceled and were changed to temporary residents, and no grain purchase certificates were issued.

Well, but the impact on life is not that big, because the grain stores are not strictly controlled at that time.

The policy was relatively relaxed for those who were transferred to Beijing for work and their families. In 56, 41.2 people moved into the city from outside. Among them, 16.1 were cadres and employees transferred from other places to Beijing, and 17.1 were family members who moved with their families or those who came to live with them. These two items accounted for about 80% of the total number of people.

In 58, ten major projects were started one after another, the number of industrial and commercial enterprises increased greatly, and there was a shortage of labor. Various departments and units recruited a large number of people from outside Beijing and rural areas. Since grain, oil and non-staple food were already supplied based on formal household registration at that time, these people were converted to permanent residents.

This time, you can settle down without any documents. You only need the employer to provide testimony and no other proof is required to settle down.

Since then, it has become more and more difficult to settle down.

After dinner, Ye Zhijuan took some things and went out again to solve Zhang Ye’s household registration problem.

Ye Zhijuan went out from the west exit of Chunshu Hutong and walked north all the way to Yinzha Hutong, where there was a Public Security Hospital and some dormitories of the Public Security Hospital were also here.

This matter is neither easy nor difficult.

Previously, many people were transferred to Beijing. Since they had no time to take care of their children, they temporarily placed their children in foster care in their hometowns and ate the rations allocated by the commune.

Now that food supply is difficult in some areas, many people have moved their children's household registration to Sijiucheng.

In most cases, it can be done, so that the children can have food to eat in the old city. It is said that some people do not cancel their children’s household registration in their hometown.

When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as the unit issues a certificate, in most cases people will turn a blind eye.

Of course Ye Zhijuan would not do so. If she was going to do it, she would do it thoroughly and not leave any room for excuses. Besides, for someone at her level, it was not difficult to get a household registration.

The relationship is an old one. The man was Ye Zhijuan's classmate when she was studying at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. His name was Lu Lan. After moving to the city, he participated in the establishment of the public security system. They have a very close relationship.

"Hello, Aunt Ye." The person who opened the door was Wu Aijun. When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Ye Zhijuan, he was obviously stunned.

"What? You're not welcome?" Ye Zhijuan asked with a smile. She was actually quite optimistic about Wu Aijun, so she agreed to let Jingwen go on a blind date with him. She didn't expect that her daughter would disagree.

"Welcome, welcome, please come in, Aunt Ye." Ever since he was rejected by Wang Jingwen when he offered candied haws to her at the entrance of Beihai Park, Wu Aijun had been feeling a little uncomfortable and awkward for quite a while.

Wu Aijun let Ye Zhijuan into the house, closed the door, and shouted to the inner room: "Mom, Aunt Ye is here."

"Old Ye, what are you doing?" Lu Lan came out of the bedroom, looked at Ye Zhijuan carrying something, and asked with some confusion.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I came to see you." Ye Zhijuan put down her things. It was indeed a long time since they last saw each other. Ever since her child's blind date failed, she had come to apologize once.

"Come on, it's so late now, you must be here for no reason." Lu Lan took out some tea leaves and made a cup of tea for Ye Zhijuan.

"Is it so obvious?" Ye Zhijuan took the teacup without refutation.

"We've been sleeping in the same bed for so long, and I don't know you? Tell me, what's the matter? I'm all ears." Lu Lan is a bit carefree, and he doesn't shy away from Ye Zhijuan. "Jingmin fell into the water yesterday and was rescued by a comrade from our unit. The comrade's wife is from a rural area in another province..." Ye Zhijuan started to talk, but was interrupted by Lu Lan.

"I understand. Is Jingmin okay? Is that all? Is it worth it for you to make a trip in person? It would be so nice to take care of Jingmin at home." Lu Lan agreed without hesitation.

"With Aunt Lu thinking about him, Jingmin will definitely be fine. I'll make a trip to let you know how much I value this matter." Ye Zhijuan replied cheerfully.

"It's so cold, you wrote a letter and I received it the next day." Lu Lan shook his head, not approving of Ye Zhijuan's approach. He took a notebook from the side, unplugged a pen, and asked, "What's this person's name? Where is his hometown?"

"Zhang Ye, native place..." Ye Zhijuan took out the certificate given by Gao Dashan and placed it in front of Lu Lan.

Lu Lan wrote down Zhang Ye's name and hometown, and then recorded it according to Gao Dashan's household registration book.

"This Gao Dashan is a cadre." Ye Zhijuan pointed to the side.

"Then this Zhang Ye is the family member of a cadre, so it will be more reasonable to handle it. Let's do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, no later than this week. I will definitely help you with it." After Lu Lan finished taking notes, he closed the notebook and returned the document to Ye Zhijuan.

"Well, once it's done, you can get a certificate from your side and I'll find someone to cancel her household registration. She can't eat the same amount on both sides." Ye Zhijuan picked up the certificate and gave instructions.

"Are you afraid that this girl will be mobilized to return home? You're being roundabout. Let me give you one more word of advice, and don't worry." Lu Lan pointed at Ye Zhijuan and said.

"How are you, Aijun, lately? Have you found someone you like?" When Ye Zhijuan walked in, she could see that Wu Aijun was a little surprised.

"Oh, he's so picky and still single." Lu Lan was not in a hurry. After all, his son was only twenty years old.

"If I had known Wenwen was so stubborn, I would not have gotten involved in this matter." As the person involved in the nonsense, Ye Zhijuan felt a little guilty.

"It's not your fault. After all, it depends on the children's personal wishes. This kind of thing can't be forced. It has to be consensual. Aijun is not that lucky." Lu Lan watched Wang Jingwen grow up. He likes Wang Jingwen very much and would like her to be his daughter-in-law. But he didn't expect Wang Jingwen to be unhappy.

As an elder, Lu Lan would naturally not put the blame on Wang Jingwen. She still has some magnanimity.

"What's the matter with luck? There will definitely be better things waiting for Aijun in the future." Ye Zhijuan complimented him gently.

"Oh, don't talk about him. He's a real worry. It would be great if he had a daughter." Lu Lan shook his head as he spoke. He had three sons but no daughter, so he envied Ye Zhijuan. He then asked, "How is Wenwen? Is your life going well?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" When Ye Zhijuan mentioned this, her eyes narrowed and she smiled.

"Okay, stop talking. I can tell you're very happy just by looking at your expression." Lu Lan covered her chest with her hands, looking irritated. When they were in the Anti-Japanese University, they were still little girls and they played around like this a lot.

Ye Zhijuan stopped provoking Lu Lan. She just covered her mouth and laughed, looking very relaxed.

Lu Lan is one of the few friends that Ye Zhijuan can speak freely with. Not only is she a classmate who sleeps in the same bed with him, but she is also a comrade-in-arms who shares a gun with him. They have a very close relationship.

"You are so satisfied. Has your son-in-law made some achievements?" Seeing Ye Zhijuan laughing happily, Lu Lan couldn't help but asked.

"Yes, there are some achievements." Ye Zhijuan nodded, very frankly, with a little pride on her face.

"Then don't hide it, tell me." Lu Lan knew Ye Zhijuan very well, and she also aroused his curiosity.

"Barefoot doctor, you know?" Ye Zhijuan started. Since the first batch of progressive youth training was completed, the newspapers began to promote it and published the title.

"I know. I've read the news these days. Isn't your son-in-law a courier? Is he working as a barefoot doctor again?" Lu Lan was a little confused. In her opinion, a courier was respectable, but a barefoot doctor...

"No." Ye Zhijuan smiled and shook her head, revealing the answer: "The idea of ​​training barefoot doctors was first proposed by my son-in-law."

Lu Lan's eyes widened after hearing this.

"And he participated in the entire process of compilation and review." Ye Zhijuan continued with a smile.

"He has a medical background?" Lu Lan's eyes widened even more. She saw the inscription in the newspaper. In addition, the newspaper spoke highly of the entire editorial staff. As someone in the system, she understood the importance of this.

“No, I'm just more intentional, I get close to the masses, and I have a better understanding of their needs. Plus, I have more flexible thinking and a little cleverness, so I have more ideas.” Ye Zhijuan used her thumb and index finger to make a hand gesture that could break the stick's defense, leaving a full two millimeters of distance in between!

"There are many people with ideas, and you must have contributed to this." Lu Lan still didn't believe it. How broad can the vision of young people be?

Ye Zhijuan shook her head: "That's right and wrong. I contributed to the barefoot doctors' work, after all, our unit also needs to make achievements. But in other aspects, he worked hard on his own."

"From what you said, there is more than one item?" Lu Lan was surprised after hearing this.

"Yes. He has won second-class merit, received commendations, passed the second-level chef skill certificate, received commissioned training, and is now at the deputy section level. He is currently learning English and Russian. Wenwen said that he is doing well and is making rapid progress." Ye Zhijuan listed them one by one to Lu Lan. She was very proud of her son-in-law, who was much better than her own naughty son.

"No, no, no, we have to compare the goods and throw them away. Let the younger generations have more exchanges when there is a chance." Although it was unbelievable, Lu Lan still chose to believe Ye Zhijuan, and suggested that Wu Aijun and Tang Zhitong get to know each other, so that it would not hurt to have one more friend.

"Can Aijun accept it?" Ye Zhijuan didn't mind. As for the network of relationships, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let her son-in-law get to know more young talents.

"If you don't even have this kind of heart, then you have no future in this life." Lu Lan complained about his son without mercy. At the end, he added: "It's a pity that our relationship ends with the child."

"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to the kids." Ye Zhijuan thought her son-in-law would be able to accept it, but she didn't know if her daughter would feel uncomfortable.

"Well, if you have any news, tell me. Write a letter or call me. Don't make another trip."

"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back first." After finishing her business, Ye Zhijuan said goodbye.

"Aijun, come out and see your Aunt Ye off. Send your Aunt Ye home safely."
