Chapter 453 Buy and leave
The refugees have been living in the yard for more than half a month, and five of them have found odd jobs on the streets to support their families.

But just like this, it is impossible to stay in Beijing.

Director Wang's original intention was that they could stay if they found a job.

This job refers to long-term work, working in an organization and getting paid, rather than doing odd jobs on the street.

There is no need for them as casual workers. There are plenty of them in the city and no one is missing.

As the January deadline draws closer, they become more anxious and try their best to find jobs.

For more than half a month, everyone was watching what these people did.

Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan worked hard, getting up early and working late every day.

Song Qiunan is dressed up gorgeously and seductively, and is committed to marrying a rich man.

After going through untold hardships, Zhao Ruonan finally received an order from a textile factory.

As for Ma Xu, he was sent to prison early for stealing and lived a life with free food and accommodation.

Thanks to the little guy Bai Chi, Li Kailang observed Bai Xiuwen for a long time and finally decided to help.

So, he went to the street office to find Director Wang early in the morning.

"Director Wang."

"Xiao Li, it's you, what's the matter?"

"Director Wang, I have something to ask. I want to see the file of Bai Xiuwen in our courtyard. Is that okay?"

"Read his file? What do you see him doing?"

You can't just look at the files whenever you want. Although they are refugees, their privacy must still be respected. When we take them out of the city, we will also have to take their files with them.

Seeing Director Wang's serious look, Li Kailang realized that he couldn't look at it without reason, so he told the truth.

"To be honest, Director Wang, I have a job on hand and I plan to introduce it to Bai Xiuwen. I think his character is okay."

"But I know how he came to Sijiu City. I have to investigate him thoroughly before I dare to introduce a job to him."

Hearing this, Director Wang was stunned: "You still have a job?"

Then he thought of something, "I almost forgot, you really do, are you really going to give him the job of the Street Office?"

Li Kailang shook his head: "It's not from the street office, it's from the scrap collection station."

"Scrap collection station? How did you get here?"

Li Kailang smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Director Wang understood and didn't ask any more questions. The world is not black and white, there is always a gray area.

Since Li Kailang dared to say it in front of her, then this job should be able to be taken out openly.

And it's a job at a scrapyard, a dirty place, but it's not bad.

"Okay, since you want to see it, I'll give you a certificate. You can go to the archives room to see it. Remember, you can't take the files out."

Director Wang immediately wrote a certificate and handed it to Li Kailang.

Since Li Kailang is willing to solve Bai Xiuwen's job, why shouldn't she agree?

Bai Xiuwen also has a younger sister. If they can find a job for him, the subdistrict office will have two fewer people to worry about in terms of food.

Li Kailang took the certificate and went to the archives room to retrieve the files.

The files of Bai Xiuwen and Bai Chi were placed together, just a few sheets of paper, and could be read through quickly.

The files show that Bai Xiuwen and Bai Chi are from the countryside. Due to natural disasters, they couldn't grow many crops on the land and their family couldn't afford to raise five children.

The parents planned to kick out their three youngest children, two girls and one boy. The eldest child naturally couldn't bear it. After all, the two younger sisters were too young and had no ability to survive. They would definitely die if they got out.

As the eldest brother, Bai Xiuwen resolutely left with his two younger sisters.

Although Bai Xiuwen's parents were reluctant to let him go, they couldn't persuade him. After all, Bai Xiuwen's two younger brothers were not young either, they were 17 or 18 years old, and were also adult laborers.

One less Bai Xiuwen is not a problem.

On the way to escape famine, Bai Chi's sister caught a cold and died on the way due to lack of timely treatment.

Bai Xiuwen and Bai Chi supported each other all the way and finally arrived at Sijiucheng, No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

After reading Bai Xiuwen's background, Li Kailang thoroughly understood his character and decided to help him.

"Finally, the work at the scrapyard can be put to use. Finally, I can add a ward."

The work certificate that had been put aside for more than a year finally came in handy.

After putting the file back and saying hello to Director Wang, Li Kailang hurried back to the courtyard to talk to Bai Xiuwen.

Back cover room.

Bai Xiuwen rarely went to work, but played with Bai Chi.

"Brother, come and catch me, come and catch me!"

"I'm here to catch you."

Bai Chi's laughter was like a silver bell, and Song Qiunan and others who were watching couldn't help but smile.

It's a rare opportunity for everyone to take a break from their busy schedule and watch the two of them playing and frolicking, temporarily forgetting the burden on their shoulders.

Seeing Li Kailang coming in, everyone stopped immediately.

They also knew Li Kailang, the only college student in the yard and also a driver.

How can one not be envious of someone who is rich, educated, has two rooms, and is an orphan?

Song Qiunan especially has feelings for him. If they hook up with him, wouldn't their lives be better in the future?

There are no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, and I can still have enough food to eat and get paid. Just thinking about this life makes me happy.

"Brother Li, why are you here?" Song Qiunan immediately stepped forward to greet him.

As for Song Qiunan, Li Kailang guessed her little thoughts. Isn't this a copy of Qin Huairu?
Song Qiunan is pretty, but her looks are not to his taste.

"Sister Song, I have something to discuss with Bai Xiuwen."

Song Qiunan enthusiastically conveyed: "Xiu Wen, looking for you."

Bai Xiuwen looked at Li Kailang. The two were just nodding acquaintances and were not very familiar with each other. "Master Li, what can I do for you?"

"It's something. Let's talk inside."

"Row."

The three of them entered the house. Although the others were curious, they did not follow them and went back to their homes.

On the contrary, Song Qiunan was quick-witted and wanted to eavesdrop, but Li Kailang suddenly opened the door, which scared her so much that she immediately took her brother home.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Li Kailang looked at Bai Xiuwen.

"Let me be frank. I have a job. Do you want it?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiuwen's eyes narrowed instantly. How could he not want to work?

Whether he and his sister can stay in the old city depends on whether he has a job or not, and he is now in a state of panic.

Although he could earn money by doing odd jobs every day, he couldn't stay in the city. But why did Li Kailang help him? There must be some purpose.

"Yes! Of course! But we are not familiar with each other, why can you help me?"

Li Kailang waved his hand: "Don't think I'm so evil. Tell me, you have nothing now, what can you give me?"

"I just went to the neighborhood office and looked at your file. You're a good person, so I wanted to help you. Of course, the most important thing is your sister."

"As for my purpose, it depends on whether you are willing to accept this job. If you are not willing, then what is my purpose?"

Bai Xiuwen thought quickly: Yes, he has nothing and can't give anything, so he might as well accept this job and settle down first.

As for his sister, perhaps it was because she helped him catch Ma Xu a few days ago that she noticed him. He never expected that he would be helped by his sister one day.

Thinking that I have nothing, there is nothing to be afraid of: "I am willing to do any job, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I am willing to do it."

Li Kailang smiled slightly: "Don't say it so early, wait until I tell you what kind of job it is before making a decision."

"No, I'll do any job as long as I can stay here."

"Okay, you have guts. My job is at a scrap recycling station. You can imagine the environment there. How about it? Do you still want to do it?"

Bai Xiuwen said without hesitation: "Do it!"

Li Kailang patted Bai Xiuwen on the shoulder and said, "You will be very grateful for your decision today."

Bai Xiuwen didn't understand what Li Kailang meant. If it were in the past, he would never have done the job at the scrap yard, but now he had no choice.

"Okay, since you've decided to do it, let's talk about it first. I spent money on this job."

Li Kailang is not short of money, but basic rules must still be followed, which can also motivate Bai Xiuwen to work hard.

"You said."

"I paid 500 yuan for the job at the scrap yard. I won't add more. Just give me back 500 yuan."

Bai Xiuwen said ashamedly: "I don't have that much money."

"I know that, so you can just pay in installments. The scrapyard is 22 yuan a month, and you just need to pay me 10 yuan a month. That's 50 months, which means you will pay it off in two months, more than four years."

"Maybe it won't take 4 years, what do you think? Is it too much? If it is too much, we can reduce it."

Taking out half of the money to pay the outstanding balance may seem like a lot, but once you know the ins and outs of the scrap yard, it is not much at all.

But Bai Xiuwen didn't know the ins and outs of this. He calculated in his mind: "10 yuan? There are still 12 yuan left, which is not much."

Bai Xiuwen nodded: "Okay, just 10 yuan, what about the interest? How much is the interest?" "No need for interest." Li Kailang waved his hand and said he didn't mind that little bit of money.

"No, it's what it should be." Bai Xiuwen insisted. If he didn't pay the interest, Li Kailang would suffer a great loss.

After much evasion, Li Kailang still couldn't get away with it, so he agreed to charge interest, but it was only one dollar a month.

That means 11 yuan per month.

The two of them wrote out the IOU in duplicate, signed their names and put their fingerprints on it.

"Okay, now that the money is settled, I'll tell you my purpose. You know I'm a driver, and I like antiques and cultural relics."

"You are at the scrapyard, so keep an eye on it for me. If there are any antiques or cultural relics, you can keep them for me. I will give them one by one."

Bai Xiuwen waved his hands repeatedly: "I'll keep the things for you, forget about the money. You've done me such a big favor, I can't ask for your money for nothing."

"One thing for another, they are different."

Bai Xiuwen refused firmly, and Li Kailang gave in.

After talking about money and purpose, the next thing to do is to make clear the precautions.

Li Kailang took out his work certificate and a letter of replacement and handed them to him.

"Take a look at this letter. You are Uncle Liu's nephew. You are here to take over the job. Your uncle has retired and is giving you the job."

Li Kailang blah blah talked about a bunch of things to pay attention to and asked Bai Xiuwen to remember them clearly so as not to be exposed.

Even though it was exposed, it’s okay. After all, this is the case in many business jobs, and the leaders all know what’s going on.

"Remember?"

"remember."

"Okay, then get ready. I'll go to the scrap yard and see if the manager is there and take care of your business first."

"Brother Li, I'm going too!"

"I'm not sure if the stationmaster is here. If you come with me, it might be a wasted trip."

"fine."

"Okay, you come with me."

"Brother, I'm going too." Bai Chi suddenly said.

Bai Xiuwen looked at Li Kailang and shook his head. It was not convenient to take Bai Chi there because it was dirty and smelly, which was not good for children's noses.

"Be obedient, brother will be back soon, you stay at home." Bai Xiuwen spoke softly and persuaded Bai Chi kindly, and only then did Bai Chi decide not to go with him.

Li Kailang took Bai Xiuwen there on a bicycle. On the way, Li Kailang did not forget to remind him of the precautions again.

Soon, they arrived outside the scrapyard, where people were still busy working.

"You stay outside first, I'll go inside and take a look."

"sorry to bother you."

Li Kailang greeted the person outside the door, took out his work certificate and was let in.

I heard from the security guard that the stationmaster Wang Chengcai was inside, so I don't have to make another trip tomorrow.

"Just in case, you should prepare something to avoid a fallout."

Although this matter had been agreed upon long ago, in order to allow Bai Xiuwen to work at the scrap yard, it would be better to give some gifts. After all, the more gifts, the less blame.

Take out 5 jin of food coupons. Food coupons are now hard currency, and money cannot compare to them.

"Dong Dong~"

"Enter!"

"Stationmaster Wang, sorry to bother you. How have you been lately?"

"Master Li, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Kailang coming, Wang Chengcai stood up quickly. He was deeply impressed by Li Kailang. He was a big shot who gave out 15 kilograms of food coupons at one time.

"I'm free, so I came to see you. How are you? Have you been doing well recently?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain. There are too many children in the family. How much food do they need to eat every day? Now, there is not enough food."

Wang Chengcai complained bitterly and took the opportunity to get some food coupons from Li Kailang.

Li Kailang was delighted, thinking that it seemed that this matter could be accomplished today.

"Yeah, things are not good right now."

"By the way, Master Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Ah, there is indeed something. Uncle Liu and I came to find you at the beginning." Li Kailang briefly recounted what happened in the past.

Finally, he said, "I have someone who wants to work for you. Is that okay?"

As he spoke, Li Kailang placed 5 jin of food coupons on the table.

Wang Chengcai raised his eyebrows, and Li Kailang understood and slowly took it.

"Master Li, look at what you're saying. Didn't we agree on this at the beginning? Just bring someone over, and I'll get him hired right away."

It's done.

Li Kailang took the opportunity to say, "People are waiting outside now. Why not wait for a better day? I think we can start the job today?"

"Okay, then what's the problem? Here he comes, call him over, I'll do it now."

"Oh, please help me. I'll ask someone to come in now."

After a while, Li Kailang brought Bai Xiuwen in, "Xiuwen, this is Station Master Wang Chengcai. You will work under him from now on."

"Stationmaster Wang, this is Bai Xiuwen."

Bai Xiuwen immediately shouted, "Stationmaster Wang."

"Xiaobai, do you mind if I say this?"

Bai Xiuwen quickly shook his head: "I don't mind, you can call me whatever you want, Leader."

"Okay, I'll call you that from now on. You'll be one of our own in the scrap yard, so don't be so reserved."

"Let me briefly tell you about the rules of our scrap yard. Actually, there are no rules. Just do your job well."

Wang Chengcai briefly talked about the precautions and then talked about work.

"We have four days off a month at the scrapyard. You can decide when to take a day off. Just let me know when it's time. The missed days off will be converted into money."

"That's all. Do you have any questions?"

"No."

"Okay, I'll get you started right away. You just need to come here on time at 8: tomorrow morning. Then you can pick up your clothes and wear them to work tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuwen bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Stationmaster Wang, and thank you, Brother Li."

Wang Chengcai: "Why are you being polite? We are one family now. Don't mind that the scrapyard is dirty, messy and smells bad. There are many tricks here. You can explore them yourself in the future."

Li Kailang nodded in agreement: "Indeed, don't think this job is bad. Laymen watch the excitement while experts watch the doorway. This job makes a lot of money. You may not feel it now, but you will know after working for a few days."

"If I wasn't a driver, I would want to switch to this job. I can get married after working for two years."

Wang Chengcai laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's right, Master Li, how about you come and work for me?"

"I want to, but there's nothing I can do. My master is watching me. Even if I want to come, he will definitely not let me go."

"That's a pity." Wang Chengcai just said it.

Bai Xiuwen listened to the two people talking and couldn't help but reconsider this job in his mind.

It was originally an emergency job. I wanted to stay in the old city and pay back the money, but now it seems that there are many tricks involved.

It seems that I am still thinking too superficially. I need to take a closer look.

Soon, Wang Chengcai arranged for Bai Xiuwen to join the company.

"Okay, the onboarding process is done. I'll take you to pick up your stuff. You came at the right time. Everyone is here today."

Wang Chengcai took Bai Xiuwen to receive work clothes, tools, etc., and introduced him to everyone so that everyone could have an impression of him.

"Okay, now you can go back after you get your stuff. Just come to work on time tomorrow."

"Let's go." Li Kailang took Bai Xiuwen away.

On the way back, Li Kailang saw Bai Xiuwen lowering his head in thought, so he gave him some advice.

"Don't underestimate the 22 yuan salary at the scrapyard. There are still ways to make money. You will find out tomorrow when you go to the streets to collect scrap."

"If you have the skill to repair things, you can get more money. Do you know the bicycle of Uncle San?"

Bai Xiuwen nodded. Yan Bugui washed the car every day and was very curious about it. Sometimes, he would be chased away just by getting a little closer.

"The third uncle's bicycle was made by piecing together scrapped bicycles. It only cost him a dozen yuan. You should know that a new bicycle costs 150 yuan."

"Now you need a bicycle ticket. If you can repair things, the scrap yard is a good place to find treasures. When you have repaired them, you can sell them and make a small profit of three or five yuan."

Bai Xiuwen nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so? It seems I have to study hard."

Since Li Kailang said so, he would study hard and pay back the money as soon as possible.

"Okay, don't think too much about it for now, just take care of the things in front of you first."

The matter was settled, and Li Kailang successfully got Bai Xiuwen to work at the scrap station, and also successfully established an eye in the scrap station.
