Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 2 Buying a house with full payment
Zhu Feng came to the north wing. This room was where the brothers used to live. Now the door was smashed and the furniture inside was staggered and looked like nothing.

Taking off his clothes one by one, Zhu Feng carefully inspected his injuries. There were bruises in many places, especially on his back and chest. He pressed lightly. The problem was not big, but it was scary.

GR's Jia Dongxu drank too much. He hit people regardless of the severity and even killed them. He must not be let go.

Just for a small side room, think of the house, who owns the house?Later experiences made Zhu Feng very clear that ownership is very important.

In my memory, the house seems to be still a public house, and the Zhu family did not pay the money to change it to a private house.

The courtyard has basically not changed. We are living in it anyway. Nowadays, who would be willing to spend a few hundred more to go through the formalities and live without paying.

After thinking carefully in the room for a while, there are some things that must be done today and tomorrow. If you don't worry about the long term, you will have to worry about the near future.

Zhu Feng returned to his parents' former wing, opened the drawer, and found the household registration book, grain and oil book, and all the money receipts of the whole family.

The money was not much, 230 yuan and [-] cents. It was originally a small amount of [-] yuan, but it cost a lot to organize the funeral. The factory's funeral expenses and the donations from the workers were packed in two envelopes.

According to the policy at that time, the funeral expenses for a formal worker who died on the job were three times the average salary of the unit, which is 110 yuan. There was also a donation of 110 yuan in the envelope, and a list of donors.
There are more than 400 people in Zhu Zhenggang's workshop, and they donated more than 100 yuan, which is quite a lot. Now the total cash is 450 yuan and [-] cents, which is a huge sum of money in this era.

The pension for death in the line of duty will not be paid for a while. According to the current situation of the three brothers and sisters, one can solve the work arrangement, and there are two minors who need to be supported.

The monthly pension should be 17 yuan and a half. When the second child comes of age, it will be reduced by half until the third child reaches adulthood. The total should be more than 100 yuan. However, this money is paid on a monthly basis, and I can’t get it now. arrive.

Put away the list, this is a favor and must be repaid. In these days and months, even a piece of eight cents is a big favor, and it is not easy for anyone.

It's not easy to save this little money over the years. Lao Zhu has worked hard to support three students. Now that he is here, he has to take responsibility. I will take care of this family. Zhu Feng calmed down.

After thinking about it carefully, without Lao Zhu, this house would be a big trouble sooner or later, and it must be solved first. As for revenge, don't panic. Now that it's here, it will take a long time.

After calming down and thinking for a while, Zhu Feng took out his schoolbag, rummaged through it, took out paper and pen, sat at the dining table, and carefully wrote two letters and put them in envelopes.

He found the car keys from the drawer and locked the doors. It didn't matter whether others locked them or not, but Zhu Feng had to lock them. This yard was far from as simple as outsiders imagined.

Pushing up the [-] big bar left by Lao Zhu, Zhu Feng was about to go out. Opposite the front yard was the third uncle's family in the east wing. They were all going to work and school, and the third aunt was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone who went to work and went to school had left, and no one was seen in the yard. When he left the front yard, he could vaguely see a few women gathered around in the middle yard, busy with something, and Zhu Feng didn't take a closer look.

After pushing the car out of the compound, Zhu Feng went straight to the street office. His body was still weak and the car was too heavy. It was probably made of high-quality steel. It was really solid.

The street address is very clear in my memory, it's not far.

I really couldn’t ride fast, but I arrived within a few minutes. I said hello to the gatekeeper, Uncle Shi, and parked the car.

"Isn't this the eldest son of the Zhu family? Why did he start a fight? Did he get entangled? Did he get into a fight?"

The two Zhu Feng brothers were quite naughty when they were young, and they often squatted on the wall outside the gatehouse.

Seeing Zhu Feng's head wrapped in a bandage, the uncle used Zhu Feng to hit him.

"It's okay, I just fell down. Uncle Shi, I'm here to do something, so I'll go in first."

In my memory, Uncle Shi is not a simple person. Looking at his eyes, he looks like he is old but has no time to spend, risking his life.

Anyway, the hoodlums, street gangsters, Buddhas and so on nearby were all honest when meeting Uncle Shi. As for the reason, Zhu Feng was willing to think more and just pretended that he didn't know.

But when you meet Uncle Shi, it’s definitely right to be polite.

He found Xiao Du, the street clerk, and explained his father's death. Everyone in the street knew about it, and Zhu Feng was here to change his household registration book and grain and oil book.

The matter was not complicated. While the uncles and aunts working on the street were asking for help, Xiao Du had already written the proof of the reason for changing the household registration book, and it would be done when Zhu Feng handed it over to the police station.

There is no need to replace the grain and oil. The street said that after Zhu Feng's father passed away, the grain and oil will be canceled directly from next month. The street has already reported it, and now it is enough to make a record in the grain and oil book.

After all, the street often arranges neighborhood committees to go to various yards to distribute tickets for various grains, non-staple food, etc.

If you don't get it, go to the grain and oil store to get it yourself.Therefore, the street is still very aware of the changes in residents.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic street uncle and aunt, thanking Xiao Du, and leaving the office, Zhu Feng turned back to the director's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Zhu Feng pushed open the door and entered.

The woman in the room has short, neat hair, a black and gray top, and is clean and tidy.Sitting in front of his desk, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Feng, his expression gentle but a bit serious.

"Hello, Director Wang, I am the eldest son of Zhu Zhenggang's family, and I am here to disturb you."

Director Wang raised his head and looked at Zhu Feng. She still had some impression of this young man. Someone in the area died in the line of duty a few days ago, and the street was helping to arrange the funeral. Why was he still bothering his head?He couldn't help but frown.

Zhu Feng briefly explained that it was not a fight in the jurisdiction, so Director Wang didn't ask any more questions.

After comforting Zhu Feng for a while, Director Wang asked:

"Comrade Xiao Zhu, are you having any difficulties?"

Director Wang is very enthusiastic. For comrades who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, their families are obliged to help. Besides, there are no adults in Lao Zhu’s family, so this child is very polite and seems to be quite sensible.

"Director Wang, first of all, I would like to thank the street for their help in allowing my father to be laid to rest. I'm here to consult on a small matter today."

"You tell me", you will only know if it is a trivial matter.

"It's our family's house. Can it be converted into a private house?" There is no problem at all. The policy has been in place for a long time. Just pay the housing purchase price according to the policy, but there are not many people to do it now.

It was given as a task at that time, and Director Wang also had a headache about it. Now that there are people supporting the work, of course there is nothing wrong with it.

Director Wang happily wrote a letter of introduction to Zhu Feng, stated the reason, and asked Zhu Feng to go to the police station to find the staff of the household registration department.

Zhu Feng didn't give gifts to Director Wang either. First of all, giving gifts for the first time would be very philistine. Secondly, he didn't know Director Wang and this era very well, so don't look for trouble.

After thanking him again and again, he said goodbye to Director Wang, walked out of the street, and went straight to the police station.

With all the procedures in place, Zhu Feng paid the purchase price for three rooms, a total of 330 yuan, signed his name, and pressed a few fingerprints.

I only have 110 yuan and [-] cents left in my pocket. I won't be able to survive this for long. I need to find some money, otherwise life will be difficult in the future.

I have no problem but I am sick, and I have no problem but no money. Now that I have no money and I am also sick, it is very difficult to get started.

After waiting at the police station for a short time, I got a new household registration book. The head of the household had become Zhu Xuefeng.However, there is still a process to obtain the land and property ownership certificate, and it will take a few days to get it back.

When I got my household registration book, I realized that I was now Zhu Xuefeng. My body seemed a little strange and I couldn’t figure it out. It was inconvenient now. Zhu Xuefeng wanted to wait until he got home to take a look.

It was noon. I had been in a coma all day and had already finished digesting the breakfast of a few steamed buns. I found a small public-private joint restaurant, thought about it, and bought three meat buns to cushion the meal. I didn’t have much money in my pocket.

It costs one tael of food stamps and five cents each. It's quite big, but not cheap. You can eat it until your mouth is filled with meat fillings. In one word, it's so delicious!
Come back when you have some money in your pocket and buy more. This is better than the leftover buns that cost a few yuan each in later generations. Small shops in this era are really conscientious!

I cycled again and came to the school where I studied. The school was also very close. They were all in this area. It was affiliated with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is so big, it is said that there are tens of thousands of workers, so there are many affiliated units, ranging from kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, technical schools, etc.

It also includes movie theaters, guest houses, bathhouses, hospitals, etc. It is basically a small closed society.

In addition to the crematorium, we can basically arrange everything for you from birth to death.

Say hello to the guard and go directly to the principal's office.

Principal Zhou of the school was very kind. After hearing Zhu Xuefeng's explanation of the situation, he was silent for a while and then asked Zhu Xuefeng to wait.

Principal Zhou called Vice Principal Li and Director Xie, and Zhu Xuefeng once again stated his situation and request.

Principal Zhou discussed it with the vice principal and dean for a long time, and finally agreed to Zhu Xuefeng's request.

Zhu Xuefeng said that there were no elders in the family and someone needed to go to work to earn wages, but he was reluctant to put down his studies and asked to study at home and take the college entrance examination.

Although there is no precedent, after all, this is the current situation of Zhu Xuefeng's family. He must support his younger brothers and sisters.

Zhu Xuefeng's grades were usually pretty good, and he rarely had the perseverance and determination to seek knowledge. In the end, the school gave Zhu Feng a chance.

Zhu Xuefeng was very happy to get the school's permission. After all, this was too unreasonable and he didn't have much hope.

Now that it is done, in terms of time, it is possible to operate. It is really meaningless for Zhu Xuefeng to go to high school now, as all the knowledge in it will be lost.

I'll try to go to the rolling mill again tomorrow, and be sure to leave some time for yourself.

After thanking the school leaders again and again, Zhu Xuefeng said goodbye to the guard, picked up his car, and rode slowly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative's meat has long been sold out, leaving only a pile of bones, pig heads, sewers, etc. that no one wants.

This body is too thin, otherwise the 17-year-old boy would be knocked down in front of Jia Dongxu even after a few interviews.

The three brothers and sisters all have to supplement their nutrition. This is impossible without capital. Great people have said that the body is the capital of revolution.

Look at the pig's head. It's actually pretty good to make a braised pig face, but it's too troublesome. Now that he doesn't have the time, Zhu Feng gave up on the tempting braised pig face.

I bought some coel bones. No one likes this thing. Although there is no ticket, it is not cheap at [-] pounds. But after eating, the dried bones are still [-] cents, so it is just fine.

Five pounds of bone is exactly [-] cents, and I bought two pig tails for [-] cents.

The master took a simple package of straw paper, used a few straws to weave a straw rope, and stuffed it into Zhu Xuefeng's hand. The whole process was dizzying.

Is this okay?Won't they break up?Zhu Xuefeng wanted to ask one more question, but seeing that the master no longer wanted to pay attention to him, he had no choice but to leave in anger.

There are many other things in the supply and marketing cooperative, but Zhu Xuefeng didn't look at them. He still doesn't know what is missing at home, so don't spend money randomly.

I bought some green peppers, cabbage and potatoes at the market. The total cost was less than [-] cents.

It's really cheap, one or two cents a pound, and I bought another pound of eggs, nine of them totaling [-] cents, one cent more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, but no tickets are required.

I bought a small bag from the vegetable seller for [-] cents and packed it away together. I didn’t bring a vegetable basket when I bought the vegetables, so I couldn’t get the vegetables. It was embarrassing. I don’t have this habit.

He also put the bones into the bag, placed the bag flat on the back seat, picked up a few straw ropes, and tied them carefully.

I was really not good at this job. I shook my head, pushed the car out of the market, and rode home.

After today's trip, it was an eye-opener, it was all fresh.
