A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 506 Room for Bargaining
Once you investigate many things, you will find that they are full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny.

The reception of units in peaceful areas is carried out in a relatively peaceful manner.

In order to avoid unrest among the people, in many units, except for the key positions that have to be replaced by their own people, most of the rest are continued according to the original structure.

It’s not unclear from the above, but there are still many thoughtful people fishing in troubled waters.

But for the sake of overall stability, some innocuous thorns can only be left behind, waiting for time to be digested slowly.

The remaining problems of the Gu family can be solved or not.

A family that claims to have lived in the city for generations has a brother and sister-in-law who were born in the countryside.

This chance is not impossible, but in an era when the eldest son is important to inherit the family and provide for the elderly, it seems strange no matter how you look at it.

Uncle Gu was able to rise to the cadre level with nothing, and his job was based on a deferral of appointment.

This already explains part of the problem.

The clerical job itself requires the ability to write and calculate to be competent. Later, he was further promoted to management

Although the level of education was generally low in the 1950s and 1960s, being literate was quite a feat.

But this does not mean that the four pockets will be open to people who can only read, except for one special case, that is, military-to-civilian personnel.

There are only a few possibilities for becoming a four-pocket player.

One is military transfer, which can also be understood as the special admission of meritorious people.

The next step is to graduate from higher education schools run by the state, such as technical secondary schools, colleges, and universities.

The last step is to recognize the academic qualifications of those who have received education in the past, such as the private school education of the third uncle of the courtyard.

Judging from Uncle Gu's working life and the education of his children, it is obvious that his education level is much higher than that of the third uncle.

Not a college student, but at least a high school student.

Before liberation, this academic degree was already beyond the reach of many people. As long as you didn't be too ambitious, you could make a living anywhere, and even support your family.

And don't be unlucky enough to encounter a natural or man-made disaster or something like that. Ordinary families can still live a pretty good life.

Such a higher education degree is not cheap.

Before liberation, in old-style ordinary families, if they wanted their children to be successful, the first choice was Western education, followed by private schools.

There are two main reasons for this choice. One is due to tuition fees. The tuition fees for Western education are far higher than the tuition fees for private schools. Even if the middle class wants to send their children to complete a course, the whole family will have to grit their teeth to pay for it.

And this cost is getting higher and higher with primary school, middle school, high school, and university.

Especially when it comes to university, not only is there an interview threshold, but the tuition fees can force a large number of students who are yearning for it to drop out. Calculating the tuition fees for one academic year plus living expenses, even if the students save money and live frugally, no one will. Even two to three hundred yuan cannot support it.

At that time, the annual income of an ordinary household in Beijing was less than 200 yuan.

One family spends hundreds of yuan on living expenses. A family saves only a few dozen yuan a year if they live frugally.

The money is tight, which means that it can at most cover the education of one child in the family to middle school or high school.

Therefore, at the dividing line of university, those below the middle class have been excluded.

There is another main reason why ordinary families in the old style choose private schools, that is, Western-style schools are not common. It is almost impossible to find them in places within towns and villages. Generally, the places where schools are set up are at least at the county level, and usually there are only elementary and junior high schools at the county level. In this case, students from towns and villages who meet the conditions will come to the county to study, and after graduation, they will see whether their family finances can support them to continue their studies in the city.

If the conditions are not enough, but the family has enough money to support their children in getting some education, then private schools become the best choice for such families.

"Let's open up the sky and make a bold statement. If we can provide you with this level of education, I believe your family must have been at least middle-class at that time. Even if Gu Da Niu's father is incompetent and gives you the opportunity to go to school, the family's financial situation will be compromised. There, he is the boss, so he will not be reduced to the countryside. "

Li Xiang analyzed it word for word for Uncle Gu.

There's no point in pretending to be stupid and standing there in a daze. It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer. He will help the old man of the Gu family peel off his cocoon.

But if they wait until he tells the truth, there will be no room for bargaining between them.

"What good will it do you to tell the truth?" Uncle Gu's eyes were red and he stared at Li Xiang.

"It's not bad for us, is it? As long as I can hit you seven inches, it will be fine." Li Xiang leaned back and said nonchalantly.

"Then you don't care about the big girl."

This old man is so evil that he still wants to use Gu Da Niu as a cover.

Li Xiang snorted and replied: "Don't challenge my patience. I am not Sun Guoqing. If I hear nonsense like this again, your family should leave your words to the prisoners in the prison."

"Don't you already know what you want me to say? If you want to drive us away, let's go." Uncle Gu's uncle slapped the table hard and responded loudly.

"Hiss~ If you react like this, I'm really curious as to why you would rather agree to move the whole family than expose the secrets from back then." Li Xiang looked at the person opposite him playfully.

Uncle Gu looked at Li Xiang coldly and did not respond to his words.

He was just betting that Li wanted to take over for his friend and come to negotiate with their family. The main purpose was to clear their family out of BJ City.

As for other details, they are just a means of negotiation.

If he agrees with the result, then Li Xiang and Sun Guoqing will not pursue it too closely.

As long as a secret is not announced for a day, it is still a secret.

It was impossible for him to take the initiative to speak out and give another clue to this group of people.

And it turned out that he was right.

Li Xiang had gotten the result he wanted. He really had no interest in the Gu family's past, even though that wasn't what he said.

He understood the principle of pulling out carrots and bringing out mud.

Li Xiang spread his hands and said to the other side: "I'll give you a week. After that time, I will see your family in BJ City again. Don't blame us for being rude."

"I agree, but you must fulfill the conditions Sun Guoqing promised before." Uncle Gu's uncle replied in a deep voice.

"The work is smooth. You can live in whatever unit is there over the house. Don't think about anything else." Li Xiang dusted off the invisible dust on his shoulders and said calmly.

You hit someone and still want to get the previous conditions, you are so beautiful.

Yep, I really think they are soft persimmons.
