Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Master!"

Just as Yi Bufan walked out the door, Jia Zhang came in.

If there was anyone in this courtyard that they disliked, Jia Zhang was one of them.

"Is something wrong?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Zhang and should have opened the door later if he had known.

"Uncle, my dog ​​has returned from the countryside."

"Look, Bang Geng has grown into a big boy now. It's a bit inconvenient for him to live with us."

"Can you let Banggeng live in the house in the backyard first? Don't worry, as long as there is another vacant house in the yard, we will ask the street office to arrange one for us, and then we will return it to you."

Jia Zhang had already thought of an excuse.

Anyway, as long as they move in, the house belongs to them. Who dares to drive them away?

There's no point in chasing him away; he won't leave.

"Ten dollars a month, half a year's rent in one lump sum, and then one month's deposit."

"It's seventy dollars in total. You can move in if you pay the money."

"In the future, I will pay another half year's rent after half a year."

"When you stop renting, we will return your one-month deposit."

After hearing this, Yi Bufan responded directly.

"I'm talking to an old man, what's it got to do with you?"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and still wanted her to pay.

"What Bufan said is exactly what I meant!"

Yi Zhonghai also said this.

"Ah, no, uncle, isn't that what Nan Yi exchanged with you?"

"The house should be yours, how can you listen to him!"

Jia Zhang glanced at Yi Bufan, then at Yi Zhonghai.

"In our family, things have always been decided by Bufan."

"I listen to him, too."

"If you want to live here, just pay the rent."

Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly.

"You guys, you guys are just speculating and profiteering."

"This house belongs to the street office. You have no right to rent it out!"

Jia Zhang pointed at Yi Zhonghai and shouted.

"Then you can go to the street office and ask if they can give you housing."

Yi Bufan smiled, picked up a cake handed to him by the old lady and started eating.

"I, I won't live here, but I can't let you rent out the house of the subdistrict office."

"Just wait for me!"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and turned away.

"Bang Geng has been in the countryside for a few years, and he's back so soon."

Yi Bufan had never paid attention to these things before.

"Not only is Bang Geng back, but also Liu Haizhong's two sons, and Yan Jiefang."

“It seems like they all came back during this period.”

"I guess this alley will be busy from now on."

Yi Zhonghai also picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

"Indeed, it will be lively with more people coming back."

Xu Xiaoran put Yi Xiaoming's schoolbag on his back and went to school with Sanmao from Liang Ladi's family.

"The main reason is that these young men have no jobs when they return."

"Those who came back in the past few years seemed to have been arranged with jobs, but those who came back later did not."

Yi Zhonghai knew a little about these.

“There’s not that much work for them.”

"There are only so many factories in the city right now, and other units also have limited workloads, so there is no need for so many people."

"In the future, there will be more and more people who need jobs. I'm afraid even street sweepers will have to have connections."

Yi Bufan knew that this was the situation in this era.

The reason why so many people were sent to the countryside in the beginning was because the cities could no longer afford it.

I'm afraid it will take a few more years to get out of this situation.

More jobs need to be created.

"It seems that I have to work hard in the future. It would be a big loss if I am replaced by someone else."

After listening to this, Xu Xiaoran also felt that Yi Bufan was right.

I'm a bit lazy at work on weekdays, and I'm always being sloppy with the money I get from other people...

The more Xu Xiaoran thought about it, the more she felt that her job was in danger, so she picked up her bag and hurried to work.

"Extraordinary!"

Just when Xu Xiaoran left, Yan Bugui also came.

"Is something wrong?"

Yi Bufan had just tucked his briefcase under his armpit.

"It's nothing. I just brought you a pot of flowers and the fish I caught yesterday afternoon."

Yan Bugui holds a fish in his left hand and a pot of flowers in his right hand.

"Talk about something!"

Yi Bufan didn't think Yan Bugui was so generous.

"Well, it's actually nothing serious. I just want to ask if your security department is short of people right now?"

Yan Bugui seemed a little embarrassed.

"No, there are too many people now."

"There are many people who just eat and do nothing all day, but few who work hard."

Yi Bufan was just saying it casually. It's much harder to get into the security department than to get into those workers.

In other words, there are some people who want to be lazy by relying on their seniority.

Young people are very energetic.

"Are there any people who are about to retire and need new people to fill the positions?"

Yan Bugui was a little unwilling to give up.

"Why do you ask?"

Yi Bufan wants to go to work.

"That's right. My Yan came back from the countryside a few days before liberation."

"Originally they said they would arrange a job for me, but after I came back, there was no news. They just told me to wait there."

"I looked around and there were at least several thousand people queuing up in front of me looking for jobs."

"Since there will definitely be no work assigned for the time being, I thought about finding him a job."

"So, seeing your security department..."

Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses.

"Then forget it. The security department isn't hiring any more people. If someone does retire, they'll just retire. Who knows, there might be someone to take over."

Yi Bufan naturally didn't want Yan to be liberated.

When the security department recruits people, at least they are trained, those who have served in the military.

How is it possible that just anyone can get in?

"Then we can only wait."

Yan Bugui sighed.

"You can go to the street office and ask if there are any jobs for street sweepers. People may dislike street sweepers now."

"But it won't be long before it becomes a sought-after job."

Yi Bufan felt that if he really got a job as a street sweeper, he would be earning a living from the government in the future.

"Sweeping the streets?"

Yan Bugui was a little uneasy.

I have paid for several of my children's high school education. Do I have to sweep the streets and work as a cleaner now?

Isn't it a bit too embarrassing?

"You heard Bufan right. It may not be long before you won't even be able to do the job of street sweeping."

"You just said that there are thousands of people waiting in line for work. When will it be their turn?"

"Is there a good job waiting for him?"

Yi Zhonghai believed in Yi Bufan's words without a doubt.

There are indeed too few jobs and too many people who need work.

"Even if I asked Yan Jiefang to go, I don't think he would go."

Yan Bugui sighed.
