Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Jiang Feng is much more comfortable now, except that sometimes He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan come back late, so he has to wait for dinner every day. However, he still has to buy some vegetables every now and then. He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan have to go to work, so they don't have enough meat tickets to buy vegetables. Now Jiang Feng only goes fishing on weekends, and has classes at other times. He stays at home and eats meat three times a week, otherwise he won't be able to eat.

The food at home has to be taken out and replaced from time to time to avoid eating coarse grains every day. There are plenty of fine grains in the space. Jiang Feng has also been to the pigeon market several times this month, but couldn't find anyone selling seeds, so he had to give up. Now is the stage of unified purchase and sale, and people in rural areas still keep their own seeds, as there are no seeds for sale outside.

However, Jiang Feng took advantage of this period of time when he had nothing to do and did one thing. He secretly wrote a letter. The words in the letter were picked out from waste newspapers. There were not many words in it. It said that Xu Damao had been messing around in the countryside and was now unable to have children. Anyway, the drama said that Xu Damao was unable to have children, so he asked someone to check to see if that was true. The letter had already been sent to the Lou family. It was easy to find out where the Lou family lived. Once they knew the approximate address, they found a child to deliver the letter to them. As for whether the Lou family believed it or not, it was none of Jiang Feng's business.

He also went to the scrap collection station several times and bought waste newspapers from there, on the grounds that he would use them as table pads. He didn't have many radios left, so he repaired one and sold it to the station, which was considered as earning some extra money. He Yushui was urged to study by Jiang Feng every day, so he went out to play less often. He couldn't stand the excitement, so he made a bet with Jiang Feng that he would skip a grade after finishing the first grade of junior high school. Now he is working overtime to study the textbooks for the second half of the first grade of junior high school.

He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan were in love at the time. They spent every day together after get off work. Jiang Feng felt jealous when he saw this, so he would run away after dinner every day and not play with those who were showing off their affection.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Guangqi in the courtyard got married, and Liu Haizhong still hired a chef from outside. Although his skills were not as good as He Yuzhu's, the chef charged a low price of only two yuan. On the wedding day, He Yuzhu also went out to prepare the banquet so as not to reveal Liu Haizhong's words. It was also people from the courtyard who helped, but this time Comrade Liu spent a lot of money. There were twelve dishes at the banquet, but there were still only four meat dishes.

Anyway, I heard that Liu Haizhong paid a huge price for the eldest son's wedding. He didn't spend all his money, but he spent a lot of the money he had on hand. Anyway, the minimum cost of buying things in Pigeon City is three hundred, and he finally married his daughter-in-law.

Yi Zhonghai is happy now. Although he has not passed the eighth-level fitter exam, Jia Dongxu has passed the third level. Without Jia Zhang's soul-calling cry, the two families happily had a meal together to celebrate. They also invited the deaf old lady. Without Jia Zhang, the several families are still happy together.

The Jia family is living a very comfortable life now. Although Jia Zhang lives in the countryside and has to send part of her salary to her uncle's house every month, the remaining money is enough for the Jia family of three to live on, and they can even have a good meal once or twice a month. Qin Huairu's complexion is visibly getting better and better, and she is in a good mood. Her husband is working hard, and her son is obedient. Good days are just around the corner. When she is in a good mood, her skin seems so tender that water can be squeezed out of it. Usually, when the two of them are at home, they try to avoid talking about their mother who is still in the countryside. Even if they have to talk about it, they avoid the obvious and are done with a few short sentences.

Yan Fugui's family is still the same as before, watering the flowers, guarding the door, and occasionally picking onions and garlic from the neighbors. The eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, also goes out to find odd jobs, and can earn seven or eight yuan a month, which is enough to ensure his life. However, he has also made a fuss many times, demanding to find a formal job, otherwise he will have to rely on odd jobs and how can he find a partner in the future. However, with Yan Lao's stubborn personality, he is reluctant to spend money to ask for help from others, so he can only wait for the street office to make unified arrangements.

It was almost the New Year and a big event happened in the yard. I didn't know where it came from. It was said that the deaf old lady in the backyard was going to be rated as a five-guarantee household. It was also said that Director Wang from the Street Office came to visit the deaf old lady in person. However, Jiang Feng had never seen it. He just heard people in the yard spread it. Jiang Feng also remembered the identity of the deaf old lady in the play. She was a five-guarantee household and made shoes for rabbits. However, there was nothing to prove it. It was all based on word of mouth. When watching the play, I was confused. How could the deaf old lady apply for a five-guarantee household if she had a grain book? Jiang Feng, who was puzzled, went to ask Huang Ming about this matter.

Huang Ming was also surprised when he heard about this. This was a policy that was only implemented this year, but it was aimed at rural areas. People with urban household registration were not covered by this policy. So he took Jiang Feng to see Director Wang. After hearing about this, Director Wang clearly told Jiang Feng that since they were not five-guarantee households, there would be no special care. According to China's policy, urban residents who were lonely and elderly, unable to work and over 60 years old could apply for relief. According to the conditions of the deaf old lady in the yard, she was eligible to apply for relief.

Moreover, after investigation by the street office, it was found that the deaf old lady had no children and was unable to work. The street office adopted a regular and fixed-quantity relief method, with a monthly subsidy of 5 yuan and a small amount of corresponding receipts to ensure the basic living of lonely elderly people like her in society. The five-guarantee households are just a better name, but that policy is aimed at some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in rural areas.

After hearing this, Jiang Feng suddenly realized. No wonder the drama always said that she was a five-guarantee household. The key was that she still had the grain book and could let Sha Zhu take her to sell grain coupons. It turned out that all of this came from here. Jiang Feng told Director Wang about the rumors in the yard. The street office had to come out and explain this matter clearly, otherwise everyone in the yard would spread the rumor like this, and in the end it would become true even if it wasn't true.

However, he still reminded him not to say that it was he who said it, just say that he heard the rumor. After listening to what Jiang Feng said, Director Wang remembered the previous issues about Yi Zhonghai plotting against the He family's property and He Yuzhu's marriage. He nodded and asked Huang Ming to take Jiang Feng out.

However, Huang Ming told Jiang Feng a good news, that there should be hope for a move by the end of the year. Huang Ming also said frankly that it was probably because of the last time he saved someone, Jiang Feng just took some gifts, and the higher-ups remembered Huang Ming. This time there was a vacancy for the deputy director of the street, and the organization had already talked to him, so there was great hope. Director Wang was also lucky this time, as he went to the district meeting and was praised many times by his superiors. Even if he could not be promoted, at least he was accumulating experience for the future.

Jiang Feng was also happy for Huang Ming and asked Huang Ming to celebrate properly. Huang Ming also said that when he was confirmed to take office, he would call Lao Liu and ask Zhuzi to prepare a good meal to liven up the occasion.

After finding out everything, Jiang Feng put these things aside and continued to go to school. After taking the electrician certificate exam, he easily got the electrician certificate with a level one status. Jiang Feng told He Yuzhu and the others about it, and no one in the hospital knew about it.

In the cold winter, Jiang Feng, who was huddled in the house by the fire, looked at the tranquility in the yard and felt a sense of accomplishment. It turned out that Jia Zhang was the troublemaker in this yard. Without her trouble, don't you think everyone is living a normal life now?

A few years ago, Director Wang of the Street Office organized condolences to some lonely elderly people and poor families. A full meeting was held for this purpose to convey some newly promulgated policies. He also emphasized that he had heard some rumors, one of which was that the deaf old lady was a five-guarantee household. The Street Office explained in detail the policy of Hua Xia's five-guarantee households and the main target groups. The deaf old lady was only a relief object and did not belong to the five-guarantee household.

Secondly, he corrected the rumor about the old lady making shoes for rabbits in the yard and asked the old lady explicitly whether it was true. The deaf old lady dared not pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of the director of the street office and explicitly said that it was not true. Director Wang immediately got angry at the old men in the yard, asking them to consider themselves as the mediator selected by the street office. As a mediator chosen by the street office, did they really think of themselves as the boss after being the boss for so long? Why did no one clarify such unclear rumors in the yard, especially Yi Zhonghai? It was you who helped the old lady to apply for relief. Didn't you know whether she was a five-guarantee household?

And tell the neighbors in the yard that if there is anything they are not clear about, they can go to the street office for consultation, and never believe the rumors, as believing and spreading them is also illegal. The three uncles in charge only have the right to mediate conflicts among residents. If they are not satisfied with the mediation results, they can report to the street office or the police station. In addition, the three uncles were warned that if such inaction occurs again, the street office will consider removing several of them from their positions as mediators.

After this incident, the reputation and prestige of the three uncles in the courtyard plummeted. At the Spring Festival party in 1957, Xu Damao, who was diagnosed with infertility, was rejected by the Lou family because of a letter from Jiang Feng. Xu Damao was very angry about how much he had to give for the party, so he quarreled with several uncles. He pointed at Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui and said he would report to the street office. Giving things for the party was originally voluntary, and Xu Damao was alone and easy to bully, but it became a task for him.

The reunion party ended in a bad mood. Several old men lost their smiles during the entire New Year period, making the whole courtyard dead silent. Only Jiang Feng and the He family were not affected. There were only a few days off during the New Year period, so He Yuzhu had to visit his master's, uncle's, father-in-law's and senior brother's homes, as well as the factory's senior and junior supervisors. Jiang Feng was in charge of Huang Ming and Liu Jingjun, and also visited Director Wang. The Russian teachers at the school all came to deliver some gifts.

After the beginning of the year, a happy event happened in the courtyard. Li Xiaoyan was pregnant, which made He Yuzhu so happy that he wanted to announce it to everyone in the courtyard. He was stopped by Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyan. However, most people in the courtyard also knew about it, and they reported the news to the master's house and the father-in-law's house. Both families sent gifts. The master's wife was very happy and said that she would live with her to take care of Xiaoyan. However, He Yuzhu stopped her, saying that the baby was still young and she had to go to work, so there was no need to make such a fuss. However, he also promised to come and invite the master's wife when the baby was older. This was the only way to deal with the master's wife.
