She didn't want to leave a bad impression on He Hongyang.
He rushed out and grabbed Jia Zhangshi.
"What are you doing? Why are you making things difficult for Brother He? Although we live in the same courtyard, we are not related. Why should he help us?"
"Besides, such a big matter can't be resolved with just a few words. Instead of going to Director Zhang ourselves, we're making things difficult for Brother He here. I think what you're doing is completely wrong!"
“Brother He is right. Master Yi is Dongxu’s master. You should ask him for help.”
She kept praising He Hongyang.
Jia Zhangshi said angrily, "How dare you talk to me like that? Don't forget that you also have a share in the household registration issue."
“There was a share for me. Didn’t you eat some when our family delivered food?”
Qin Huairu looked at He Hongyang: "Brother He, you don't need to pay attention to her. We just came to ask. Besides, even without a city household registration, we can still go to Pigeon City to buy grain."
Since they're so willing to go to the pigeon market to buy food, then let them go and buy as much as they want.
“You’re right. Instead of worrying about having two household registrations, it’s better to find a job and earn more money. It’s not like everything will be solved.”
Qin Huairu thought He Hongyang was going to introduce her to a job.
She was so happy she wanted to crawl into his arms.
“Brother He, what can I do? What you said makes sense. With money, we won’t have to worry about not being able to buy grain. Having an urban household registration just means having an extra ration, which isn’t much cheaper than buying it at the pigeon market.”
Of course, she didn't know that with the rationing system just implemented, the price of grain in Pigeon City wasn't much higher than in grain stores.
If we wait a few more years, the prices will be so high that they simply won't be able to afford them!
But Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi had no idea about any of this.
Listen to her.
Jia Zhangshi's heart also began to stir.
Having two household registrations is definitely not something you can just do on a whim.
4.2
If she had to choose between urban and rural household registration, she would naturally prefer rural household registration.
If another person in their family could work, they would not only be able to afford food, but the village would also send them supplies in the fall.
That will make their lives easier.
It seems that whether or not to do it now is not so important!
Anyway, they live in Beijing, so it's just a household registration. If they want to change their household registration later, they can just transfer it over.
Having two household registrations is difficult.
But to get a separate household registration and move your rural household registration to the city, it's just a matter of saying a few words!
Perhaps at that point, they won't even need Zhang Dajun; they can handle it themselves.
Thinking this, Madam Jia said.
"Let's go ask your Master Yi again."
Both she and Qin Huairu were women from rural areas.
They've never seen the world.
They have no idea how important urban household registration is!
If we put all our efforts into it now, we might still be able to move here.
If we wait another two years, I'm afraid we'll never be able to move in!
I heard that they went to Yi Zhonghai to discuss it.
He Hongyang knew that Jia Zhangshi already had a plan in mind.
I just wanted to confirm with Yi Zhonghai again.
Based on his understanding of Yi Zhonghai.
He knew that urban household registration was important.
But they didn't care at all whether Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's household registration was in the city or the countryside.
What he cared about most was how to control the Jia family!
They wish their family would be as miserable as possible.
Because their family is not doing well, they will definitely seek help from the Yi family.
Then he can put on airs as a master again and give them advice.
It seems that Jia Zhangshi will have to buy grain from the pigeon market for the rest of her life!
When the price of grain in Pigeon City skyrockets, and they can't transfer their household registration, they'll have nowhere to turn for help.
The Jia family will definitely be thrown into chaos then!
103. A good wife brings prosperity to three generations; a foolish wife ruins three generations.
Yi Zhonghai was at home.
He could already see everything happening outside through the window.
Upon seeing that Jia Zhangshi had actually gone to beg He Hongyang.
He scoffed, "Do you think he's that capable, with dual household registrations? Dream on."
"You might as well come to me. I've eaten more rice than he's eaten salt, so I'll definitely help you come up with the best idea."
When Jia Zhangshi came to knock on his door.
This made Yi Zhonghai happy, as he felt he was successful again.
They can also put on airs and offer advice to them.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in."
Yi Zhonghai crossed his legs and nodded: "Sit down."
Jia Zhangshi also had a big smile on her face.
He's much better, unlike that He Hongyang, who wouldn't even let you in the door.
After all, he and Dongxu from their family had a master-disciple relationship.
It is said that the relationship between master and disciple is like that between father and son, and this bond can never be broken!
Qin Huairu looked at his house with disdain.
The Yi family is no longer what it used to be, and they are struggling to make ends meet.
Yi Zhonghai's salary not only didn't increase, but actually decreased by one yuan.
Although he gritted his teeth and kept silent, there are no secrets that can be kept forever in a place as big as a steel rolling mill.
Everyone already knew that.
"Is there something you need? You haven't come for quite some time now. Do you think I'm not doing as well as before, and that's why you haven't been coming?"
Madam Jia quickly smiled and said ingratiatingly.
“Master Yi, you’re joking. No matter what, you’ll always be a senior master in the factory. There are two people in your family, and they’re both city residents, so you’re living the best life in our courtyard.”
She kept emphasizing that there were only two people in her family.
I don't know if this is a compliment or a joke.
Then Jia Zhangshi told him about the dual household registration issue and asked Yi Zhonghai if he could refuse to help with it.
Yi Zhonghai certainly doesn't have that ability!
But he would never admit it.
He offered a suggestion: "If you ask me, we should just keep our rural household registration. We can easily transfer our urban household registration whenever we want."
“I heard that the current standard for transferring household registration to Beijing is that as long as you have relatives in the city, it’s fine. Isn’t Dongxu’s household registration in Beijing? One of you is his biological mother, and the other is his wife. Moreover, you have a house in the courtyard. Transferring household registration is just a matter of saying a few words.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi suddenly realized what was going on.
"Master Yi, you really got it right. I understand now. In other words, you can change your urban household registration whenever you want, but you can't just get a rural household registration if you want to."
"Of course, having a rural household registration means you'll be allocated land. Land is so scarce these days, do you think anyone can just get it? You guys are lucky to live in Beijing and have access to rural grain. That's something many people envy."
"But now there's no rationing, so we have to buy our own food."
"If there's a ration, there's no need to buy more. The price of grain in Pigeon City isn't much higher than in grain stores. You can just find a job, and everything will be taken care of."
What he said perfectly captured her feelings!
Jia Zhangshi slapped her thigh excitedly.
It seems she made the right decision to come out today.
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, she suddenly understood.
In other words, all their problems would be solved if they could find another job.
In other words, their family can still retain their rural household registration, and they will harvest a bag of sweet potatoes and corn this autumn.
They'll move here when they really need an urban household registration!
There's always enough time, no matter when!
Jia Zhangshi smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits, and said, "Master Yi, you know a lot of people and have a wide range of knowledge. Could you find a job for Huai Ru?"
Qin Huairu sat there, unwilling to accept it.
What good job could Yi Zhonghai find? Even if he did, it would definitely be a dirty, tiring, and hard-earned temporary job.
It was a job involving cleaning and pasting cardboard boxes.
She doesn't want to do it!
If he could really find a good job, this middle-aged woman wouldn't be sitting idle at home.
Work is so stressful these days.
Jia Zhangshi is truly shameless; she actually asked him to find a job.
However, refusing like this doesn't make him seem incompetent.
Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered that he had seen a job posting when he was at work during the day, and it seemed that Jia Dongxu had even gone in to inquire about it.
“Go back and ask Dongxu. Maybe he can help you find jobs.”
he?
When did her son become so capable? (4. Backup)
Jia Zhangshi jumped for joy and happily returned home!
Just then, Jia Dongxu came back.
"Good son, I heard you can help us find jobs?"
It seems the three of them have the same idea.
Jia Dongxu also felt that relying solely on his own work would put too much pressure on his family.
Someone from the Jia family should go out and earn some more money.
"The public bathhouse at the street corner is hiring temporary workers. I've already inquired about it. Although it's temporary work and it's tiring and tough, I can earn 15 yuan a month."
“We can go to work tomorrow if we want. They said that if the previous person hadn’t gone back to his hometown, there wouldn’t have been a vacancy. So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
"I even gave him two cigarettes and asked him to hold onto this spot for me no matter what, so we could register first thing tomorrow morning."
When Jia Zhangshi heard him say that, she was so excited that she almost jumped up!
It's like every wish comes true.
It seems that they will no longer have to worry about quotas in the future.
