The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao went to Yongcheng the next day. Zhang Chen's parents were shocked when they saw them. Why did these two people go to Hangcheng and come back a few days later without making a phone call in advance? What happened?

Xiao Zhao quickly said, "Without mom, we are all fine, nothing will happen."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, something happened, something big happened!"

Zhang Chen's mother's face turned pale with fright, and she asked anxiously: "Speak quickly, tell me quickly, what happened, does it matter?"

"It's very important." Zhang Chen said with a serious face. Xiao Zhao quickly hit him and scolded: "Oh, stop joking, you're scaring your parents."

Only then did Zhang Chen tell them that Xiao Zhao was pregnant. The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately beamed with joy.

Zhang Chen's mother spanked him hard on the buttocks and scolded him: "Debt collector, you almost took away my life!"

Zhang Chen's mother said that she was about to go out. She must go to the market to buy an old hen and bring it back to feed Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao wanted to go with her. She stopped Xiao Zhao and said, go and lie down on the bed and sit down. Don't be tired after driving for so many hours.

She watched Xiao Zhao sit on Zhang Chen's bed. Zhang Chen asked, should I take a nap too?

Zhang Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him, took the pillow, put it on the other end of the bed, and told him to help Xiao Zhaohan's feet honestly.

Zhang Chen looked at his mother in astonishment, and Xiao Zhao looked at him, laughing.

Zhang Chen sat on the bed, and Xiao Zhao put his feet into Zhang Chen's arms. Zhang Chen said to Xiao Zhao with a bitter face, is there any justice? In Hangzhou, Sister Guihua is your mother's family, and Sister Tianlin is also your mother's family. Man, when we get to Yongcheng, you still take advantage. When we get to the county, it's okay. I still have no time to stand out.

Xiao Zhao thought seriously for a moment, looked at Zhang Chen and shook her head. She said no, when we get to Da County, Huo Huo, the natal family there are very talented. If you dare to bully me, they will bury you.

Xiao Zhao tickled Zhang Chen with his toes and said, "Baby, accept your fate. There is no way out if you resist stubbornly."

When Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao woke up, got up and walked outside, they smelled the sultry aroma. The old hen was already stewing on the briquette stove in the corridor outside. Zhang Chen's father was still sitting in front of the TV, with the brazier Already evacuated.

Zhang Chen's mother was busy in the kitchen, and Xiao Zhao hurried over to help.

Not long after Zhang Chen walked over and sat down on the sofa, Xiao Zhao came over with his mouth pouted. Zhang Chen asked her what was wrong?

Xiao Zhao pointed to the kitchen and said to Zhang Chen, "Mom didn't let me do anything and kicked me out."

"Leave it to him to watch TV."

Zhang Chen's father said, and handed the TV remote control to Xiao Zhao. Zhang Chen shouted, "Why don't you give me the remote control when I come here, so that I can show you how to grow potatoes?"

Zhang Chen's father snorted: "You don't have hands yourself?"

During the meal, Zhang Chen's mother really brought it up. She said that when you come back from Sichuan, you should go directly back to Yongcheng and don't stay in Hangzhou until the baby is born.

"That's not possible, we still have to work." Zhang Chen said.

"What's more important, work or children?" Zhang Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him.

"Then you quit your job when you were pregnant with me?" Zhang Chen asked, Zhang Chen's mother was stunned.

Zhang Chen's father said: "She, Sanba, is still active."

Xiao Zhao chuckled: "Dad, you are swearing."

"Ask her herself." Zhang Chen's father said.

Zhang Chen’s mother also laughed: “This is not a curse, I am really a March 8th, March 8th red flag bearer, Xiao Zhao, let me tell you, when I was pregnant with Chenchen, with such a big belly, I still participated in the county In the technical competition, I still won the first place."

"Mom is so awesome. Is there any bonus?"

"I was awarded a towel and an enamel teapot."

"Look, is it true that while your work is important, our work is not important?" Zhang Chen said dissatisfied.

"Can that be compared? When were we then and what time are we now?" Zhang Chen's mother shouted.

"Is there anything that can't be compared? Do you know that the competition is more intense now than it was at that time? If we stay at home for half a year, we will become old antiques. If we go out again, our jobs will have been snatched away, and we still need Do you know how difficult it is to adapt and become familiar with this society again?" Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Zhao also said: "Mom, don't worry, we will take care of ourselves. I will follow my master. My master is very kind to me. Just like my own sister, she will also take care of me. Don't worry." And our landlord is my master’s cousin, so we live there just like we live in our own home.”

"But Xiao Zhao..."

"Don't worry about children's affairs. They have their own ideas. Besides, I don't think Xiao Zhao is that delicate." Zhang Chen's father said.

"That's right." Zhang Chen agreed.

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay." Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen's mother said.

Zhang Chen’s mother was reluctant, but in the end she stopped ringing.

When it was time to go to bed at night, this time Zhang Chen’s mother did not ask Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao to sleep separately. Instead, she carried a quilt to their bed, took a hot water bottle, stuffed it into Xiao Zhao’s quilt, and told Zhang Chen to help Xiao Zhao heated up the quilt and went back to sleep in his own quilt. Do you hear that?

Xiao Zhao blushed and looked at Zhang Chen chuckling. Zhang Chen shouted at his mother impatiently, "I know, I know, let's go quickly."

In the middle of the night, Zhang Chen got up to go to the bathroom. He was wearing autumn clothes and long trousers. When he went outside to the living room, he was startled. He saw a person sitting on the sofa with his back to this side. It was his mother. She seemed to be crying. She was using a handkerchief. He kept wiping his eyes.

Zhang Chen returned to the room, saw that Xiao Zhao was sleeping soundly, tucked her in the quilt, then put on his down jacket and went out, closing the door behind him.

Zhang Chen tiptoed over and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Chen's mother was startled. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Zhang Chen, "It's nothing. I can't sleep. Let's sit outside."

"Did you quarrel with the old man?"

"No no."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chen said and sat down on a sofa nearby.

Zhang Chen’s mother looked back at the door of Zhang Chen’s room, lowered her voice and said to Zhang Chen:

"Son, I think Xiao Zhao is good, but have you ever thought about it? She has an agricultural registered permanent residence, and she is about to give birth to a child again. When a child is born, the registered permanent residence must follow that of the woman. There is a " The word 'farmer' means doing evil, and you don't know how much suffering you will suffer."

Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh: "What did I think you were doing because of this?"

"Is this still a small matter? This is a lifetime event."

"Tell me, how long has it been since our family got food stamps? How many years has it been since you used your food shopping book?"

"This household registration is not just about food stamps."

"What else? Work? Is there anyone who wants to take up the job in your job now? You can hardly live in that broken factory, and the capable people are fleeing, right? There is no need to work here, and Those who don’t want food stamps, tell me, what’s the difference between agricultural households and residential households?”

Zhang Chen's mother was left speechless by Zhang Chen's question. She thought about it, but she really couldn't think of any other differences besides these two items. Although she couldn't think of it, there was a knot in her heart. Just think about how many people there are. , in order to get a resident household registration, life or death, then the first thing that comes to mind when rural people go to college or join the army is to get a household registration, isn't it?

Old Li in their factory came from a rural family. When Old Li retired, his three sons almost died in the fight over who could take over the job.

"I just feel uneasy." Zhang Chen's mother said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, let me put your mind at ease. Have you seen that there is a queue at the door of the county committee to sell household registrations? If your son has this money, when your grandson is born, if it doesn't work, I will buy it for them and their mother." Isn’t it enough to have two household registrations?”

The so-called selling of household registrations was a way that many local governments at that time thought of because they had no money to develop the local economy, which was to sell urban household registration quotas to the majority of people with rural household registrations.

Depending on the degree of economic development in various places, the price of an indicator ranges from 8,000 to tens of thousands. It is very popular with those who went to the city to do business and made some money, and even those who got rich first in the countryside. Although they were repeatedly banned, later, It became a completely public behavior. When the state banned it and stopped it everywhere, the urban household registration was no longer valuable.

At that time, there was also the sale of household registration in Yongcheng. When Zhang Chen and the others got off the bus at noon, they saw a long queue at the door of the county government.

Hearing what Zhang Chen said, Zhang Chen's mother was completely relieved and scolded: "Fool, why do you need to buy two? Just buy one for Xiao Zhao. Both parents are residents, so the child is naturally a resident. "

"Okay, then buy one."

"Then I'll ask tomorrow?"

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Ouch!" Zhang Chen's mother patted her thigh.

"what happened again?"

"The pole sent you the money, did he ask you to give it to his family?"

Zhang Chen's mother stood up as she spoke, walked back to the room, and came out with a remittance slip. When she saw the remittance slip, Zhang Chen understood what the money was.
