Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

"I'm just a temporary worker. If I don't go to work for a while, I will definitely lose my job."

After saying this, Yu Li was in a very depressed mood.

"Well, that's definitely a problem."

Qin Zheng felt even more apologetic. There was no doubt that this would be the result.

Naturally, he would not put himself on the same level as ordinary people. What he could solve with just one word might be something that others could not accomplish even if they gave their all.

If Yu Li lost her job because of him, he would feel very guilty.

Nowadays, it is not easy to find a job. For example, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li's husband in the play, both graduated from high school. When they got married, neither of them had a formal job. Yan Jiecheng worked as a porter for a while, and his monthly income was less than 18 yuan.

Some people may say that at that time, the government assigned jobs to all high school graduates.

Indeed, at that time, once you graduated from high school, you could register with the street office and wait to be recommended for a job by the street office.

However, there are a lot of people queuing up for jobs, but there are very few job openings, which provides a lot of room for maneuver.

Money can make anything happen at any time.

Many people have waited for a long time and can only get a temporary job.

At that time, Yan Jiecheng and his wife had a really hard life!

Vegetables are eaten by the roots;

During the Chinese New Year, peanuts are sold individually;

Borrowing a bicycle from the uncle is basically not allowed;

Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang wanted to stay in the courtyard house, but she had to pay for the accommodation.

It is not difficult to see from these plots that Yan Jiecheng's status in the family is very ordinary. The key is that he is the eldest son in the family. With this status, he is like a horse's tail trying to lift tofu.

However, if Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had cadre status and normal work, would the third uncle still treat them like this?

Will Yan Jiecheng's status at home still be so humble?

Can Yu Li really endure the Third Uncle’s schemes until the time of reform?

It can be said with certainty that neither will happen.

Therefore, work at this time, even if it is temporary work, is very important to a family.

Thinking that she might even lose her temporary job, Yu Li felt so upset that she wanted to cry. Then she heard Qin Zheng say:

"Yu Li, don't worry. If you lose your job, it's fine. I'll arrange a job for you at the steel mill as compensation."

As senior executives at the steel mill, everyone has work targets in their hands.

As a deputy, Qin Zheng has three indicators in hand, which is a hidden benefit of the leader. Since he started working, he has never used the indicators in his hand.

Moreover, the steel mill will be expanded for the third time, and the indicators in the hands of each leader will increase. In this way, the income of the leadership can be reasonably increased.

Yes, this is the more reasonable approach now.

"really?"

Yu Li perked up and asked in disbelief.

It costs two hundred yuan to get a temporary worker quota at the steel mill. The textile mill cannot compare with the steel mill.

She thought that Qin Zheng had agreed to a temporary job and had no idea that it was a formal job.

"Can this still lie to you?"

"Then I'm relieved. You don't know, even my father spent money to get me as a temporary worker. If I don't go to work for a while, someone else will definitely take my place. By then, my mother will eat me up."

Yu Li explained again.

"I understand. In that case, just give up your temporary job at the textile mill. I will arrange a permanent job for you at the Red Star Steel Mill."

"That's great."

Yu Li was overjoyed. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"I can arrange a job for you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"what?"

Yu Li was very surprised, and then her face turned red.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng was driving in front and didn’t see her expression, otherwise he would definitely ask her what she was thinking about?

Yu Li calmed down and said, "What are the conditions? You tell me."

"You should know what happened to me today."

Yu Li said: "Did you encounter enemy agents? They want to attack you."

Qin Zheng said, "Yes. You must keep what I am going to say confidential and do not tell anyone else. This secret is limited to those who know it now."

Hearing Qin Zheng say this, Yu Li felt very comfortable and quickly said, "Okay, I promise you, I will keep it a secret."

Qin Zheng continued to explain: "Recently we received news that an enemy spy wanted to assassinate me."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Yu Li's body still trembled, as if she was frightened again.

Eliminating enemy spies has always been the focus of public security work in the capital, and the neighborhood committee often goes to various courtyards to carry out propaganda, so Yu Li is not unfamiliar with it.

However, today was the first time she felt the enemy spies were so close to her, so it was normal for her to be frightened.

Qin Zheng continued, "So, after consideration, we decided to use a trick to lure the enemy spies out of their hole and lead them to a suitable location to catch them all in one fell swoop. Today is the day of the operation, and the location is outside Dongzhimen. When the operation is carried out, it happens that you are working overtime and going home, so you are implicated."

"Oh. So that's how it is."

Yu Li listened to the whole story as if she was listening to a story, and only then did she feel relieved.

"I'm really sorry for involving you in this matter and causing you to get hurt."

"It's okay. You're also a victim. Besides, I have an obligation to help capture the enemy spies."

Yu Li's words were very nice and her tone was very sincere.

"Wait a minute, when you get home and your family asks you about it, you can say that you were on your way home from overtime work and you sprained your ankle when you tried to dodge my speeding car."

"understood."

This reason is reasonable, and Yu Li doesn't want her family to worry.

Qin Zheng added: "I will inform you when the work is arranged. You can go back to work when you recover."

"it is good."

The car stopped at the gate of a courtyard house in Maoer Hutong, and we saw a middle-aged couple looking anxiously towards the east.

Qin Zheng got out of the driver's seat, walked to the right, opened the door and helped Yu Li out. The middle-aged couple immediately came up and asked in surprise, "Xiao Li, what happened to you? You came back so late, your family is so worried."

The middle-aged couple were Yu Li's parents. When they saw their daughter getting out of the car and being supported by a young man, they were surprised and worried.

Qin Zheng quickly said: "Uncle and aunt, let's go inside and talk."

"okay."

Yu's father and mother quickly agreed. Although they didn't know what had happened, as long as he could drive their daughter back home at night, they naturally wouldn't suspect that Qin Zheng was a bad person.

Yu's mother went forward to support her daughter, went into the house, and asked Yu Li to sit down. Before Qin Zheng could speak, Yu's mother suddenly said, "You, you are Qin Zheng from the Red Star Courtyard, how come you are the one who sent my Xiao Li back? What happened to her?"

Father Yu was calmer than Mother Yu and quickly interrupted, "Let Qin Zheng sit down first."
