Siheyuan: What to do if there is no system

Time flies. On the afternoon of September 1954, 9, the great Chairman Mao announced that the First National People's Congress had concluded successfully.

One month after the National People's Congress, Liu Jinghao and his uncle went to the subdistrict office and told Director Li that they wanted to rent a site and set up a formal waste collection company to facilitate the recycling of old waste. Jinghao was unsure, so he asked his uncle to help. Who knew that the government still attached great importance to the recycling of waste resources?

Each subdistrict office has the corresponding task of recycling and treating garbage, and Director Li and the staff of the subdistrict office are very supportive. That afternoon, under the arrangement of Director Li, Xiao Zhang, a staff member of the subdistrict office, accompanied Jinghao and the second uncle to visit seven or eight sites in the surrounding area.

There was a good site, a large yard, half of which was a warehouse, and the other half had three houses at one end, opposite the gate, and two more rooms next to the gate. There was an open space in the middle, and it didn't need much tidying up, it was very good. Jinghao discussed it with the second uncle and decided on this one. He returned to the street office and bargained with the person in charge for a long time.

Finally, we rented the site at a price of ten yuan per month. If the street office did not have the task of recycling resources, the rent for the complete warehouse alone would have been more than ten yuan.

Liu Haizhong asked: "Haozi, the work is done, can you really do it? I always feel that your uncle is unreliable."

Jing Hao replied: "Hey, don't worry, uncle, I'm not stupid. Find someone to help me fix the roof in the next two days and stop it from leaking. You can worry about other things."

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "Okay, if you need your uncle's help, just tell him in advance. You are smart, and I still trust your uncle."

As soon as he returned to the compound, Xu Damao ran over and asked, "Haozi, how is the matter going?"

The second uncle spoke first: "I say, Damao, even with your second uncle taking action, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Xu Damao said: "Really, that's a good feeling."

Jinghao continued, "Brother Damao, if you have nothing to do during this period, please help me. We have a venue and it needs cleaning."

The second uncle said, "Jinghao, ask your aunt, Guangtian, Guangfu and others to help you clean up. Forget about Guangqi, as he has to study hard right now."

Xu Damao said, "That won't work. We have to call Shazhu. He was showing off the day before yesterday and hasn't had a rest recently. It's just right for him to take two days off so we can clean together."

At this time, Uncle Li also came over and asked, "Haozi, do you need help?"

Jing Hao replied: "Thank you Uncle Li, I don't need it for now, these are just small jobs."

Uncle Li replied, "That's good. Let me know if you need help."

The third uncle Yan Fugui also came over and asked, "How can I help you? My Jie Cheng has nothing to do, so call him and give him some money for the work."

Jing Hao replied, "Uncle, help pick up the trash. See if Jie Cheng is free. I'll pay you."

The third uncle rolled his eyes, grunted twice, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I'm cooking at home. I'll go back and see if it's ready. You guys chat first."

With the help of several people, Liu Jinghao's waste recycling station (also known as the packing station), the roof repair of the five houses, and the sanitation took almost a month to sort out. Jinghao had no choice but to borrow another 400 yuan from Liu Haizhong. There were too many places to spend money. The two houses at the gate had the stove and the kang ready, and some supporting facilities had to be purchased. He also raised two puppies to watch over the yard in the future.

For this reason, Liu Haizhong secretly exchanged the two small yellow croakers for money. Of course, Jinghao took the initiative to write an IOU to Liu Haizhong just to reassure his aunt. During this period, in addition to studying at the waste recycling station, he also had to attend meetings at government departments from time to time. These were all basic procedures.

As expected, you need to learn in every industry. This is the first time Jinghao has heard of a waste recycling station, also known as a waste packing station. It mainly packs the scraps collected by other individuals, sorts them, and then sells them to some factories. This is called resource recycling.

The government manager in charge of Jinghao's area is called Huang Chuang. He mainly helps the packing station connect with the recycling factory, and is also the most important link in the packing station. Huang Chuang is in his forties and likes to smoke. He is known as Huang Daxian. He is a very nice person, not at all official. He likes to joke and comes to Jinghao to smoke when he has nothing to do. After a few times, the two have a good relationship. Huang Chuang calls Jinghao "Xiao Liu" and Jinghao calls Huang Chuang "Lao Huang".

The two of them got along well, and Huang Chuang really helped Jinghao a lot. When Jinghao first started, other scrap collectors didn't know the location, and those who knew were reluctant to come, mainly because they were not familiar with Jinghao's scrap packing station. With Huang Chuang's help, two scrap collectors nearby began to work at Jinghao's packing station for a long time, processing the scrap they collected and selling it to Jinghao. There were also four people who lived not too far away, who also began to sell the scrap they received to Jinghao frequently. For Jinghao, this was a good start.

On this day, the second uncle and Xu Damao came over. The second uncle felt a little sad when he saw Jinghao's expression, and said, "Jinghao, you have lost a lot of weight recently. You must be tired, kid. It's all your fault. The New Year is coming soon. Go back with your uncle, have a good rest for a few days, and have a good New Year."

Xu Damao also said, "Haozi, the New Year is coming soon, why are you still waiting here? Let's listen to Second Uncle and talk about it after the New Year."

Jing Hao shouted, handed two big front doors to the two of them, and replied: "What's the connection? We have already agreed that it will end today. Aren't we waiting for you to have your New Year holiday so that we can celebrate the New Year together?"

The second uncle thought for a moment and said, "Jinghao, you can't do this. You've exhausted yourself before you've made any money. There's no rush to pay back my money. You can use it first."

Xu Damao also said: "Second uncle is right, health is capital, if you really need money, I will go to my father and Sha Zhu to lend you some, we are brothers."

When Liu Jinghao heard what the two said, his eyes suddenly turned red unconsciously. These are relatives and brothers. They don't ask you to do anything. They will support and help you at the first time when you are in trouble.

When the packing station first started, Jing Hao was really anxious. If he didn't go out to collect scraps, he would have no income, and the rent of 10 yuan a month was very stressful. Later, with the help of Huang Chuang and the government, the packing station made more than 30 yuan a month after deducting rent, food and drink, and Jing Hao believed that things would definitely get better in the future.

Jing Hao replied, "Well, it's almost Chinese New Year, and we've almost dealt with everything in the station. There's nothing valuable left. Brother Mao, help me lead these two puppies. I'll lock the door now, and we'll go back."

The second uncle helped Jinghao to pack up and locked the door. Xu Damao led the two puppies and the three of them returned to the compound. Along the way, under the questioning of the second uncle, Jinghao did not hide anything and directly handed over the bottom line. He told the second uncle and Xu Damao that his packing station was on the right track and had a guaranteed income of 30 yuan a month. The second uncle was happy to hear this, and Xu Damao was envious.

After this period of time, Jinghao also realized his shortcomings, the most important of which was the lack of people. This was related to the settlement of accounts, and outsiders would definitely not work, it had to be his own people. Guangtian and Guangfu could not be relied on, they were still young, and after thinking about it, he could only go back to his hometown to ask for help.
