Chapter 54: Hurry up and prepare the banquet

Chen Jianye returned home, tidied up briefly, and sat at the door with a chair to pick vegetables.

"Jianye, I heard that the list of transfers to the steel mill has been released. Have you passed it?"

Liu Haizhong passed by the Central Courtyard and asked specifically.

"pass."

Chen Jianye sat at the door and spoke calmly.

"Okay, boy, you're awesome."

Liu Haizhong just asked casually, but he didn't expect Chen Jianye to actually pass.

“It’s all thanks to the leadership’s training.”

Chen Jianye smiled, his tone calm.

In the hospital, he didn't want to talk much about work.

"Work hard, and when you transfer again in the second half of the year, you can find a partner."

"A second-level fitter can find a good girl in the city. You still have room to choose."

Liu Haizhong gave some encouragement and left with some shock.

What he said is true.

The trainee fitter had gotten a ticket to a blind date, but the girls in the city were very picky and didn't like the trainee fitter at all.

Because of the special household registration system in the old city, children follow their mother's household registration, which gives city girls a very high starting point.

Simply put, if a city man marries a city girl, the children they have will all have city household registration and enjoy "rationed" food supply.

If a city man marries a country girl, the children born will all have country household registration and will not have "rationed" food.

It's not easy to raise a child.

So city girls are very picky, and they do have the confidence to be picky.

A first-level fitter can attract a few more glances from city girls, but that’s all. They have to look at other people more.

If you are a second-level fitter, the monthly salary is 37.5, which is enough to make city girls excited.

In the blind date market, there is a certain degree of initiative.

If he is a second-level fitter in his early twenties, he will definitely be a hot commodity in the blind date market.

However, Chen Jianye didn't really want to find a woman to make do with.

I don’t have any idea of ​​finding a partner for now.

Liu Haizhong learned that Chen Jianye had passed the first-level fitter qualification.

Soon, the news spread throughout the compound.

This is the bad thing about living in a courtyard house. Any little thing will spread quickly.

Chen Jianye, the protagonist of the discussion, has already returned home to cook.

"If nothing happened to my son, he would have been a second-level fitter by now."

"What's so great about being a first-class fitter?"

Jia Zhang sat at the door, muttering to herself.

After thinking about it, she ran to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"What are you doing, sister-in-law of the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

He felt annoyed when he saw Jia Zhang, what a shameless person.

"Let me tell you, the factory leaders asked our family to send someone to work in the steel mill, and promised to give us permanent positions within six months."

"I remember Dongxu is a second-level worker, right? Do you think the factory leaders should transfer us to a second-level worker?"

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled around.

I feel like I've lost out.

A second-level worker earns five yuan more per month than a first-level worker.

That’s sixty dollars a year.

"When did Dongxu become a Level 2 worker? Are you dreaming?"

Jia Zhang looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Why isn't he a second-level worker? He and Chen Jianye took the fitter exam together, and Chen Jianye passed it. How could my Dongxu fail?"

Jia Zhang shouted anxiously.

"Dongxu really didn't pass. He has been stuck at the second-level worker level for several years and has never been able to pass."

"Okay, go back now and stop thinking about it."

"There is no end to the bargains in the world."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand.

"You have to arrange the funeral for our Dongxu. Call the second and third uncles over quickly and get it done tomorrow."

Jia Zhang was somewhat unwilling and changed the subject.

"Let's talk about it later. I haven't eaten yet."

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

"You have to take this matter to heart and do it quickly, or I will leave Dongxu at your doorstep."

Jia Zhang also said with an unhappy look on her face.

"Okay, okay, go to the front and back yards and call the second and third uncles over."

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.

Jia Zhang ran around the front and back yards, shouting for help.

The three uncles gathered together.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your face?"

Yan Fugui frowned in surprise and looked at Liu Haizhong again: "Hey, Lao Liu, there's some on your face too. What's going on? What did you two do?"

"I was caught by an unreasonable old woman."

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

"Me too."

Liu Haizhong glared at Jia Zhang.

Yan Fugui seemed to realize something, glanced at Jia Zhang, and wisely stopped teasing her.

"Let's get down to business."

Jia Zhang, the person involved, urged.

"Tomorrow the Jia family will hold a banquet in the courtyard to bury Jia Dongxu. We need to arrange some personnel."

Yi Zhonghai got down to business.

Giving someone a funeral is a big deal, if you really want to do it, you have to have a set of rules.

"I can come back at noon to fill in the gift book."

Yan Fugui took the initiative to take the job.

The job of the etiquette book master is relatively leisurely and lucrative in the banquet planning field.

Just keep accounts and collect money and that’s it.

Generally speaking, the employer would give Mr. Li Bu two packs of cigarettes.

And you can also pack up some leftovers.

"The Yan family needs someone to help Sha Zhu run the kitchen."

"The Liu family also needs someone to help."

Yi Zhonghai said.

"I'm OK."

Liu Haizhong agreed.

"Well, that's fine too."

Yan Fugui hesitated slightly and agreed.

Giving someone a ride is considered as accumulating good karma for the Yan family.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, please go door to door to inform them. Your family will hold a banquet to send Dongxu off for the last time, so you need someone from your family to go and tell them."

Yi Zhonghai ordered.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Jia Zhang is ready to go.

"By the way, if you want to hold a banquet, you have to tell Shazhu clearly what you need to buy and what you will use. You have to make everything clear."

"If you need anything, ask everyone else to help you out."

Yi Zhonghai explained again.

"Don't worry, I still need you to teach me."

Jia Zhang said unhappily.

Yi Zhonghai was choked and was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhang, so he turned around and left.

Jia Zhang immediately started from the front yard and went door to door to receive guests.

The residents of the compound naturally agreed.

Jia Zhang had a very smooth journey.

When she arrived at the Chen family's door, Jia Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still knocked on the door.

Although the Chen family and the Jia family have a feud, if the Chen family comes to the banquet, they will have to give a one-dollar gift.

There is only Chen Jianye in the Chen family. Unlike other families who have children to support, they cannot make back their money no matter how much they eat.

Who can't get along with money?

"Who?"

Chen Jianye asked in the room.

"I am your aunt from the Jia family."

Jia Zhang responded loudly.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Jianye sat at the dining table eating and was too lazy to get up and open the door.

"Chen Jianye, my family will see Dongxu off tomorrow, please come and have lunch at noon."

Jia Zhang shouted.

"Don't go."

Chen Jianye replied directly.

"Okay, okay, then you can lend me your eight-immortals table to do the work, okay?"

Jia Zhang was so angry.

I invited you here, but you didn't even give me any face.

That's really not right!

"No borrowing!"

Chen Jianye replied.

"Chen Jianye, when your father passed away, my Jia family ran around for your family and put in so much effort."

"You! You are so ungrateful, heartless, and... you are such a damned thing!"

Jia Zhang stamped her feet in anger.

Not giving her any advantage at all, what a jerk!

click!

The Chen family’s door opened.

Chen Jianye stood in front of Jia Zhang with a sullen face.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. If you dare to hit me, I'll report you to the street office or to the steel mill!"

"I'm very familiar with several senior leaders of the Security Department!"

Jia Zhang took a few steps back, put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.

Even though he was timid, his momentum was not weak at all.
