Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Xu Huizhen: "Well, I will find you a fifth-grade textbook later. When you are free, study it and ask me if you don't understand. If you want to gain a foothold in the city in the future, you can't be uneducated. Without education, you can only do manual labor, but with education, you can work in an office." Xu Huizhen's explanation was very easy to understand.

Hu Yingzi nodded rapidly: "Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, I will listen to you."

The small vegetable garden was also tidied up, with an area of ​​less than 30 square meters. Cai Quanwu went to the suburbs to pull two trucks of cultivated soil, and Xu Huizhen took out the seedlings that had been grown in advance from the space, including peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, leeks, etc. She planted a few of the most common vegetables, so that she could have whatever vegetables she wanted to eat in the future.

The temperature in the space was high, and the seedlings grew fast. They were already more than half a foot tall. Hu Yingzi was stunned: "Sister, where did you get the seedlings? They have grown so tall already?"

Xu Huizhen lied with her eyes wide open: "These are seedlings grown in a greenhouse."

Hu Yingzi: "These vegetables will probably mature half a month earlier than others." When it comes to growing vegetables, Hu Yingzi is much more knowledgeable than Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen used seeds from the space. She felt that the vegetables in the space had a high yield and produced crops one after another. She didn't know what they would look like after transplanting.

After finishing all this, Xu Huizhen started to find a job for Xu Jianshe. The most powerful person she knew was Director Ma. But she didn't want to use this favor. Such favors would be used less and less each time, so she wanted to use them wisely.

She wanted to buy her job with money. There is a saying in later generations: Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Although work quotas are hard to come by, they are available to those who are powerful, especially the leaders of large companies, who have flexible quotas. In addition, when some old workers retire and their children have jobs, they can sell their work quotas to others. When someone dies of illness and their children are still young and cannot take over the job, they can also sell their jobs.

She thought about letting Xu Jianshe learn cooking from He Yuzhu. In these difficult times, being a chef at least means you won't starve. But when she thought of Xu Jianshe's big, thick fingers and clumsy look, she thought that if she asked him to cut potato shreds, he would probably be able to cut them into chopstick-thick pieces. Forget it, this path is not feasible.

Xu Huizhen thought of the director of the neighborhood committee, who should be more well-informed.

That night, she packed some seafood and went to the director's aunt's house. It wasn't that Xu Hui really wanted to corrupt the revolutionary cadres with sugar-coated bullets, but it was embarrassing to ask someone to do something for her, and it was embarrassing to go to their house empty-handed.

When Director Li saw the seafood in Xu Huizhen's backpack, she knew that Xu Huizhen had something to ask her. She didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xu Huizhen grinned, "Director Auntie, my brother from my mother's family wants to buy a job in the city, and I have to ask you for help with this matter! How can others be as well-informed as you? Don't you think so?"

Director: "How old is your brother? What is his education? What kind of position does he want?"

Xu Huizhen: "I am 17 years old, I have only a junior high school education, and I want to learn a skill. A skill is a lifelong job."

Director: "You can't get a good job without 500 or 600 yuan."

Xu Huizhen: "As long as the work is good, money is not a problem."

Director: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you these few days. This kind of thing can't be rushed. It's something you can only encounter by chance."

Xu Huizhen: "Okay, thank you for your trouble. I will reward you handsomely after the matter is completed."

Director: "By the way, Xu Huizhen, what do you think about the public-private partnership? This is the policy from above, you have to support my work."

Xu Huizhen: "I firmly support your work. I will never hold you back. But you see, my tavern is too small. Usually, it's just Cai Quanwu and I who run it. After the joint venture, if a few more people come, the profit of the tavern won't be enough to pay the salaries."

Director: "The problem you mentioned is also very realistic. I will report it to the street leaders later. In short, you have to be prepared for public-private partnership."

After leaving Director Wang's house, Xu Huizhen secretly regretted that she shouldn't have come to see the director's aunt at this time. Isn't this walking into trouble?

Of course, she couldn't put all her hopes on Director Wang alone. She had to find a few more people to spread the news of the job purchase.

Thinking of the turtle in the space, she also didn't know how to cook, so she just left it there. Tomorrow is Sunday, why not ask He Yuzhu to cook, and invite a few well-informed people in the tavern to have a meal. In this difficult era, nothing can touch people's hearts more than delicious food.

By the way, please ask them to pay attention to this matter. Anyway, she has vegetables, eggs, and seafood in her space, and it doesn't cost too much.

She has put a lot of effort into Xu Jianshe's work.

The next day, she said to Cai Quanwu, "Cai Quanwu, go and run some errands to see if He Yuzhu is free. Ask him to come and cook for lunch. Oh, don't leave Yushui alone at home. Ask Yushui to come and eat too. It won't cost a child a meal."

Xu Hui really wanted to invite Niu Ye, Pian Ye, the tea shop owner Wei, Teacher Xu and others. Although Teacher Xu had a little episode before, it was not exposed. Xu Hui really didn't want to make enemies. One more friend means one more way. Similarly, one less enemy means less trouble.

In the original plot, Mr. Xu dumped Xu Huizhen because she broke her promise and held a grudge against him. Later, he and Fan Jin jointly reported Xu Huizhen for speculation and profiteering.

Xu Huizhen should try to avoid this pit. Intellectuals like Mr. Xu are people who want to maintain their reputation. If you give him the corresponding respect and put him on the moral high ground, he probably won't care about these trivial matters.

He Yuzhu has been renovating his house these days. He has listened to his father's words and realized that he is old enough to get married. Without a phoenix tree, you can't attract a phoenix. In the past few years, he, a rough old man, has ruined his home.

A house that is tidy and presentable is not only comfortable to live in, but also helps to leave a good impression on the girl when you go on a blind date.

So he asked the director of the neighborhood committee to introduce him to Master Lei. Speaking of Master Lei, it is said that eight generations of his ancestors have been working in the construction industry. They are called "Yangshi Lei". They used to be engaged in large projects such as building palaces, imperial tombs, and gardens.

In the past, Lei Shishi would not have served He Yuzhu with such a small job, but in recent years, there have been no major projects for them to do, so how could they be so picky? As long as you pay them, they will do any job.

Master Lei looked at his house and said, "This house is the main house of this courtyard. It should have been the owner's house in the past. The ceiling height is about six meters, and the middle part of the roof is even higher. You can make a partition in the middle to make it two floors, with the upstairs as a bedroom and the downstairs as a living room. This way, when you get married and have children in the future, you will have enough space to live in."
