A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 249 State-owned Hotel

Let’s not express the Wang family’s troubles for now.

Li Xiang couldn't resist in the end and was dragged out of the house by Qiu Fanghua.

The two of them didn't have a clear destination, so they just went wherever they went.

Today's initial goal is achieved, Qiu Fanghua is as happy as a lark.

With a crisp and sweet voice, he chirped and shared his daily life with Li Xiang.

Maybe it's because it sounds so nice, even when it comes to trouble at school, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"So, the class graduating from your school this year still doesn't have a clue about their jobs?" Li Xiang was a little surprised after hearing this.

It seems that his alma mater is more reliable, at least it has preserved their job allocation for this term.

"Yes, many senior brothers and sisters who have graduated are still stranded in school."

"Then there's no explanation?"

If Li Xiangjue lasts for a long time, everyone will inevitably be unable to hold on, because students come from all over the world, and without school subsidies after graduation, how can they rely on food and drink?

"Alumni who have graduated from the school before are helping to mediate, so that their units and schools can take the initiative to contact each other, which may solve some employment problems." Qiu Fanghua said.

Li Xiangjue thought this was also a solution.

Everyone has things to do and responsibilities to take on, so their minds will not be so idle.

The two of them walked and chatted together. During this period, they occasionally met foreigners with local accents from other places.

Although Li Xiang’s classmates also come from all over the country, when they come to study here, they rarely speak their hometown dialect.

I'm used to hearing BJ jokes, but it's also very interesting to hear these distinctive local accents.

In order to avoid unnecessary collisions, Li Xiang deliberately blocked Qiu Fanghua's perimeter and let her walk inside.

For these people, the two of them didn't find it strange.

Recently, there have been many outsiders coming to BJ. They come from all over the country, and most of them are young people.

In an era when it was difficult to move without a letter of introduction and a ticket, it was impossible for so many outsiders to appear in the city without the consent of the higher-ups.

In fact, in order to welcome their arrival, the higher authorities not only waived the cost of taking the train, but also subsidized their living expenses.

In order to accommodate so many people in the city, the sub-district offices in each district were also called upon to do so.

Start going to every house that still has room and start arranging people to stay.

Tasks were also received in the courtyard, and arrangements were made at the homes of the old lady, the first man, He Yuzhu, and Xu Damao.

Why do they have a small family and a large place?

The old man was used to being upright and upright, so he accepted the offer generously.

So now there are five strangers living in the courtyard. Except for the two from the old lady’s family, the other families share one stranger.

Li Xiang told Qiu Fanghua that it would be better to go out less recently.

After all, the same rice can support hundreds of people, and no one can guarantee that there will be so many extra people, and whether there will be people who want to fish in troubled waters.

Especially the courtyard area, which is already crowded with people, usually has a lot of small fights.

Anyway, he looked at the recent newspapers and saw that there were a lot of reports about group fights, so it was better to be careful.

Although Qiu Fanghua was sweet in her heart, she also wanted to be obedient.

But she knew that if she didn't come to Li Xiang, Li Xiang wouldn't take the initiative to find her.

Qiu Fanghua, who never let her sweetheart's words fall to the ground, was rarely silent.

Li Xiang was a little helpless. What time had it been? He shouldn't put his own safety as the first consideration.

Observing Li Xiang's expression, Qiu Fanghua explained cautiously: "I'm careful. I never go out after dark."

"Bad guys don't only appear when it's dark, so don't make me worry, okay."

Therefore, Qiu Fanghua's extravagance is not without purpose.

In fact, the words Li Xiang occasionally said were a little too far and made people daydream.

Regardless of whether Qiu Fanghua decided to do it or not, at this moment she was already coaxed by Li Xiang's caring words and couldn't help but nod her head. When she nodded, Li Xiang just took it as her agreement.

I felt a little more relaxed, and it was almost time for dinner.

Although the two of them were walking, they were still quite far away from home.

Li Xiang did not plan to take anyone home, but planned to find a nearby state-owned restaurant for lunch.

He always has money and tickets in his pocket.

Although it is a state-owned restaurant, most of the meals available are home-cooked.

Dishes with big fish and meat are not fixed in the daily menu, but are randomly dropped.

It all depends on whether the hotel’s buyer can get good products that day.

If you really want to eat hard food, it is recommended that you go to a private restaurant. Whether it is ingredients or craftsmanship, most private chefs are no better than those in state-owned enterprises.

But the current relationship between Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua obviously hasn't reached the point where they have to spend dozens of yuan on a private meal.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s that it’s not suitable.

It was just time for dinner, and the seats in the restaurant were almost full.

There was also a long queue at the ordering window.

However, not all of them were dine-in people. Some people saw the menu board outside.

If you have a mouthful, you would also be willing to play a game and take it home as a tooth-beating ceremony for the family and the children.

Of course, a large part of the reason why there are so many people is because of outsiders.

Although the above helped solve the accommodation problem, it was really hard to force food.

It's summer now, so sleeping is easy. Just find a place, spread out a mat, lie down and sleep, and that's it.

But eating is not that simple. Nowadays, except for restaurants in the city, people's homes are rationed.

Obviously, these people from outside would not bring a large amount of dry food on the road. Even if they were lucky enough to bring some, they would be dealt with on the road.

When they got to BJ, they could only buy it with money and food stamps.

The common people definitely can't sell it. If they do, they will have to eat whatever they want.

Those who are so enthusiastic can only stay at their house for the first two days at most and help with a few meals.

But after so many meals, I couldn’t stand it no matter how hospitable it was.

Therefore, these young people who come to Beijing can only come to restaurants to buy and eat.

Most of the orders ordered by those in line were vegan.

A bowl of plain noodles costs 10 cents, plus 30 taels of food stamps.

In terms of price alone, for people with income, it is not too luxurious to spend money in a state-owned hotel.

It's not the money that's expensive, but the food stamps.

How much grain you eat will be returned to others, and the money collected is considered a processing fee.

Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua lined up. When it was their turn, there were not many options to choose from.

He asked the girl for her opinion, then ordered two bowls of dumplings and two plates of side dishes, one with soy sauce beef and one with cucumbers.

Meat dumplings cost six cents a bowl, soy sauce beef costs one dollar and two, and cucumbers cost two cents.

The total is less than three yuan, plus two kilograms of food stamps.

Just eating this little bit, the people around me looked at me with envy.
