Siheyuan: What to do if there is no system

Jing Hao handed Xu Damao a Daqianmen cigarette and continued, "Brother Mao, the first National People's Congress is about to be held. After the People's Congress is over, I will go to the Street Office Director Li to see if there is a suitable venue. If there is, I will rent it and set up a formal waste collection company."

Xu Damao was puzzled. What the hell? He asked in confusion: "Haozi, don't you have a business license? Why do you still need to rent a place? Is it really so profitable to collect waste?"

Jing Hao replied: "Brother Mao, this roughly means that I want to rent a site, be my own boss, and then hire a few workers to make some money. The more workers I have, the higher my income will be. Do you understand?"

Xu Damao was shocked and said, "Fuck, Haozi, you want to be a capitalist and learn from Lou Bancheng!"

Jing Hao was speechless and said, "What capitalism? The country attaches great importance to recycling waste, especially our capital city. It has nothing to do with Lou Bancheng. They are the real big businessmen. We just make a little money that others look down upon and think is insignificant and invisible. You know what I mean."

Xu Damao replied: "Haozi, I still don't understand your brother Damao. Apart from collecting waste, is there nothing else you can do? Why do you have to do this?"

Seeing that Xu Damao couldn't figure it out, Jing Hao continued, "Brother Mao, think about it, will I get a good job or business that can make money? I have no money and no backing. If I make a lot of money these days, I will be jealous and reported. If I collect waste, I will make money, and those officials and intellectuals will look down on me, but they won't cause trouble for me. The most important thing is that the cost is low and the country supports it. You understand."

Xu Damao replied, "Oh, I see. Brother Haozi, you are really smart. It has low cost and is supported by the country. You are right. If my job is not good, I would want to work with you. Hahahahaha, when the time comes and I need your help, just let me know. I am optimistic about you."

He Yuzhu, who came back from get off work, saw the two of them in cahoots and shouted, "Hey, you two, why are you laughing so lasciviously? You don't even know how to share your good news."

When Xu Damao saw that it was He Yuzhu, he started to scold him, "Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? My brothers helped you today, but you didn't treat us at noon. It was me, Dayi, who treated Brother Haozi for you. What do you think we should do about dinner?"

Jing Hao also echoed, "That's right, Brother Zhuzi, you are too disloyal. It was Brother Damao who treated me to lunch, so you can take care of dinner."

He Yuzhu smiled foolishly and said, "Okay, I figured it out. You two are wearing the same pants. How about I roll some noodles by hand and make tomato noodles tonight?"

Xu Damao gave a thumbs up and said, "Honest, let's go, hurry up, I've been walking around all day and I'm really hungry."

The three of them returned to the compound together, but they didn't see the third uncle guarding the gate. It was strange, but they didn't care. He Yushui had already eaten at the second aunt's house, and was now doing homework with Xu Yanling at Xu Damao's house. He Yuzhu was cooking in the house. Xu Damao was shamelessly chatting with Qin Huairu who was washing clothes. Jing Hao handed Jia Dongxu a big front door and also chatted with him. I learned from Jia Dongxu that after Qin Huairu became pregnant, Jia Zhangshi actually cooked dinner for the first time. The charm of this thief saint was so strong before he was born, and it would be even stronger after he was born.

He Yuzhu finished cooking, and Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu also went back. Not long after they started eating, the eldest son of the third uncle, Yan Jiecheng, came over. After chatting for a while, they found out that Yan Jiecheng did not pass the college entrance examination this time, but Yan Jiecheng's mortal enemy Liu Guangqi passed, which shattered the third uncle's expectations. No wonder the third uncle did not guard the door today. Yan Jiecheng looked at the egg noodles in the three people's bowls and swallowed his saliva. He ate porridge, pickles, and steamed bread today. The steamed bread was made of corn flour. He didn't know why these people lived so well, and he began to blame Yan Fugui in his heart.

Yan Jiecheng didn't pass the exam. He is the same age as Jinghao and Guangqi, and can only do odd jobs to make a living. Do you think Yan Fugui can be happy? The second uncle's child can pass the exam, but his own child can't. Isn't this a slap in the face? Everyone in the compound knows that the second uncle is not well educated, but you, Yan Fugui, are an educated person and a teacher. How will people look at you in the future?

After a while, Yan Fugui also came to He Yuzhu's house with some things in his hands. He greeted a few people and led Yan Jiecheng to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Fugui coming over, took the things, and invited the two to sit down first, then asked a lady to pour tea for them. Knowing that Yan Fugui would not come to see him for no reason, he took the initiative to ask, "Old Yan, we are all from the same compound. You are being so formal today. Just tell me what you want to say."

Yan Fugui adjusted his glasses and said, "Old Yi, I brought Jie Cheng to see you today because I want you to help me. Jie Cheng didn't pass the exam, so he has to stay at home. It's not a good thing. Jie Cheng is already sixteen years old, and I don't want him to rest at home. I came to you just to ask if you have any solution."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment, and under the gaze of the father and son of the Yan family, he said: "Old Yan, I also watched Xie Cheng grow up, so I won't talk about our relationship. At this time, let alone formal jobs, even temporary jobs are scrambled for. I can only keep an eye out for you. If there is a suitable one, I will introduce you to it. Whether it will be successful depends on fate."

Yan Fugui said, "He is your uncle. You said that you also watched Jie Cheng grow up. I also want Jie Cheng to be your apprentice. If Jie Cheng doesn't obey you and doesn't respect you, I will be the first to disown him. What do you think?"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he winked at Jie Cheng, who understood and was about to kneel down. Yi Zhonghai saw that if Yan Jie Cheng was asked to kneel down, it would be disastrous, so at the critical moment, Yi Zhonghai quickly dragged Yan Jie Cheng's arms and made Yan Jie Cheng sit back in his seat.

Then he said to Yan Fugui, "Old Yan, it's not that I don't want to accept Jie Cheng. You also know that Jia Dongxu is my apprentice. We are all in the same compound. If I accept Jie Cheng as an apprentice, people will think that we are forming cliques, which will make it difficult to manage the compound in the future. Don't you think so? Besides, I am now a level 7 worker, and I plan to take the level 8 exam in the next two years. I don't have the energy to accept apprentices. I had no choice but to accept Dongxu. Forget about accepting me as an apprentice. I can only promise you that I will contact you as soon as there is a suitable job."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had said so, Yan Fugui thought that he would need Yi Zhonghai's help to find a job for Jie Cheng, so he decided not to mention the matter of taking him as a disciple and could only sigh.

Yi Zhonghai really has no connections now. Jia Dongxu can only enter the factory by replacing his father's workstation. There are people who sell workstations, and they have also negotiated privately, but the solution is that he is not old enough, so he can only take this chance.

When Yan Fugui was leaving, Yi Zhonghai suddenly said, "Old Yan, you can ask Liu Jinghao, he collects junk himself, I think he can make a lot of money, you might as well let Jie Cheng learn from him."

Yan Fugui immediately replied, "That can't be possible. If I ask Jie Cheng to pick up the trash, I will lose face. No, no, Lao Yi, let's talk about it later. We are going back first."
