I heard that He Hongyang can earn more than 30 yuan.
Moreover, he was inconsistent in his work schedule, sometimes working three days and sometimes not going to work, and he missed almost half a week of work each week.
Why does her son work himself to the bone every day, yet only earn so little money?
This amount of money is simply not enough to cover the household expenses!
She and Qin Huairu are registered residents of a rural area.
They have neither urban household registration nor a work unit, so they can't get the rationed food at all.
They can only buy feed from the pigeon market. 3
What angered her even more was... 7
Everything from cooking oil and salt to soy sauce and vinegar, and even firewood, rice, and vegetables, required coupons.
Without a household registration, there are naturally no food coupons. 7
Even buying a bag of salt requires careful budgeting.
She counted Jia Dongxu's meager wages and food coupons every day. 9
The fingers twitched, calculating how much to spend. 1
I'm afraid it will all be gone before the end of the month.
They're living paycheck to paycheck now. 9
I really don't know how I'm going to live like this!
That Qin Huairu is the same; she sits at home all day doing nothing, yet she eats more than anyone else. (She said...)
I wish I could eat sunflower seeds all day long, in addition to my three meals a day.
They can't even get a proper meal, yet they still have to eat sunflower seeds.
She wanted to keep the money tightly under her wing and not give her a single penny!
But he couldn't stand his son's lack of ambition. Whenever Qin Huairu wanted to eat something, he would go out and buy it for her even in the middle of the night.
Should we transfer our household registration here or not?
She was incredibly hesitant right now.
If she doesn't transfer her household registration here, she won't have a fixed quota or food coupons, and she'll have to go to the pigeon market to buy food.
If we move our household registration here, then every autumn thereafter there will be no more corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage, or radishes.
"Qin Huairu, come here."
Qin Huairu, cracking sunflower seeds, asked, "What is it?"
“You’re always wandering around outside, do you even know anything about household registration?”
nonsense!
Of course she knows.
If it weren't for Jia Zhangshi stopping her beforehand, she would have had a fixed allowance, and the family wouldn't be struggling to afford meals now.
"Didn't you say that we should always keep our rural household registration?"
Jia Zhangshi blinked and said, "I just wanted to discuss this with you. How about we transfer our household registration here?"
Qin Huairu also wanted to.
But she was unwilling to give up!
I don't want to give up those corn and sweet potatoes.
Because her family owned land, her brother would bring her some mountain produce every year in addition to these.
Those walnuts and jujubes are rare finds!
She almost got into a fight with Jia Zhangshi over these things.
However, Qin Huairu always won.
She placed them on the bedside table, forbidding anyone to touch them, leaving them for her to eat alone.
"The autumn harvest is just around the corner. We've waited a whole year for this good time. If we give up our rural household registration, won't we end up with nothing this year?"
"I mean, we can have both urban and rural household registrations, so we can not only get rationed food, but also eat corn and sweet potatoes."
What else can we do?
Should we retain dual household registration?
Qin Huairu was excited: "I heard that a lot of people have come to Beijing now. Urban household registration is already in short supply. Can we get two household registrations?"
Of course, Madam Jia knew this matter would be difficult to handle.
But He Hongyang did not know Zhang Dajun from the street office.
If we can get him to talk, there's definitely hope.
"Let's go find He Hongyang and ask him to help us."
Qin Huairu frowned.
The Jia family has always relied on Yi Zhonghai.
The He family and the Yi family do not have a good relationship.
If I just go like this, do you think they'll process it for me?
Besides, with something this important, do you think they'd go empty-handed?
Over the past year, she has tried to go to He Hongyang's house several times.
But he refused to let himself go.
Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. She wanted to pat her chest and assure He Hongyang: I never consummated my marriage with Jia Dongxu. I'll always be yours!
But this trick didn't work at all.
He Hongyang still ignored her.
Is it because I'm getting old that he doesn't care about me anymore?
Or is it because she hasn't been eating well these past few years, causing her skin to lose its luster and her charm?
"I'm not going. You go if you want to go."
“I’ll go, I’ll go. I don’t believe that just because we live in the same courtyard, he won’t help us.”
Jia Zhangshi relied on her old face.
"Boom boom boom!"
Knock on the He family's door.
He peered in tentatively and asked, "Is Hongyang home?"
When she sees other people eating at home, she wishes she could stick her head in and smell the food.
Every time someone cooks in the He family's small kitchen, a delicious aroma wafts out.
She always wanted to go over and see what they were eating that day.
But Wang Liying wouldn't let her move forward at all.
When bringing dishes home, they always cover them with a plate.
It made it impossible for her to see what was inside.
When it was time to eat, the five members of the He family chatted and laughed.
She was so anxious, she was practically ready to throw her own head in!
I finally managed to run into his family for dinner today.
If she goes in now.
Will they stay home and eat alone?
Maybe there will be something delicious waiting for her.
He Jia Shazhu works in the canteen, and Wang Liying works in the grocery store.
Both of them are good at getting their hands on good stuff.
Needless to say, He Hongyang is not only well-liked in the steel rolling mill, but I also heard that he has treated many high-ranking leaders, so they must give him a lot of good things.
Just as Jia Zhangshi's head was about to enter.
He Hongyang blocked it with his hand!
He has a lot of strength in his hands.
He pushed his head directly out the door.
"boom!"
After He Hongyang came out, he closed the door.
"What's your business?"
What does this mean? We all live in the same courtyard, yet he won't let me into his house?
However, since she was asking him for a favor today, she still needed to be respectful.
He shamelessly asked, "Do you know Director Zhang from the neighborhood committee?"
He Hongyang had already guessed that she had come for the household registration issue.
Now I know I'm in a hurry.
It would be better if you could eat expensive food for the rest of your life!
"Everyone knows Director Zhang from the neighborhood office, everyone in our courtyard knows him."
"Isn't it because you two are close?"
"Say what's wrong quickly, I need to go back for dinner."
“Huai Ru and I also want to have urban household registration. Everyone else has a quota, but we don’t. Auntie is very anxious.”
"Then you can just go and get it done by him yourself."
"I want to retain my rural household registration while also being able to register my household registration in the city."
Unexpectedly, this Jia Zhangshi was planning to pull this stunt.
No wonder they came to him for help.
She's so greedy!
They were envious of others who had dual household registrations.
There are quotas in the city, and land in the village.
She wanted to take advantage of the situation too!
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
You don't want to give up your rural household registration, but you also want an urban household registration.
Let alone Zhang Dajun, no one else would do it for you!
"I never would have guessed you had this in mind."
Madam Jia thought He Hongyang was praising her, and said with a smile, "Many people do it this way. I know that there are several families like this in our courtyard."
"When did they get theirs? When did you get yours? If someone can get it done now, can you help me get a rural household registration? I want to have two household registrations, so I can have a ration of food and land in the village!"
He Hongyang's words left Jia Zhangshi speechless.
We all live in the same courtyard, how could he talk to me like that?
"I came here to ask for your help, why are you acting like this?"
"I can't handle your family's affairs. Yi Zhonghai isn't Jia Dongxu's mentor. Why don't you go to him instead of coming to me?"
Qin Huairu leaned against the window, watching what was happening outside.
They were afraid that Jia Zhangshi and He Hongyang would start arguing.
