Chapter 14 Entry Procedures

After nightfall, the group finally returned and found that there were still many people gathered in the middle courtyard, waiting for the results.

Lao Liang just felt exhausted both physically and mentally today. He didn't say a word and went back to his house to sleep.

Upon seeing this, Teacher Liao said: "It's okay, everyone should go back and have a rest early!"

After everyone heard this, they all dispersed and almost all the melons were eaten, and the farce ended.

...

The next day.

The matchmaker Mrs. Wang walked through the door with a man.

"Mrs. Xue, I brought my blind date here."

As Sister Wang shouted, she opened the door curtain and led the people in.

"Oh, Xiaoling, your blind date is here."

Mrs. Xue quickly put down the soles in her hands and said to her daughter.

"Coming!"

Xue Ling jumped up and as soon as he walked out of the back room, he saw his blind date at a glance.

I saw this man, tall and tall, wearing a straight suit, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, hands like jade, and an arrogance hidden in his expression. He stood quietly in front of the door, quite a bit of chic, with his hands behind his back, and his eyebrows hidden

Arrogant.

Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile on her face: "I brought it to you. His name is Wei Tiange. He is an apprentice worker in a textile factory. His parents are both workers in the textile factory, so they work both ways."

Mrs. Xue couldn't help but said: "It's good to have two jobs, but is this man a little fat?"

"It's good to be fatter. It's okay for a man to be fatter. It means the family conditions are good."

Sister-in-law Wang led the man to sit down and shouted again: "Xiao Ling, you are right, come here and let's talk together."

After a pause, she added: "Tiange, this is Xue Ling. She and your father work in the same workshop."

Mrs. Xue asked in surprise: "Who is his father?"

"His father is Master Wei in your workshop. His mother is in Workshop No. 7 and has a city registered permanent residence. You can't find this condition even with a lantern. Their parents also agree that the child will marry into your family. There are two brothers in his family, and he is the eldest son in the family.

My younger brother got married last year."

Xue Ling was a little cautious and said softly: "Hello."

...

It was a holiday today, and Zhang Qian had nothing to do, so she said: Let's go and see if the shop is rented out."

The two of them rode their bicycles and went directly to the shop, because East Liulichang is right next to Dashilan and Qianmen Street is near Zhengyangmen, which is a prime location.

After a while, I saw the shop door open from a distance, and workers were busy inside.

"This is rented out."

Zhou Jianguo looked delighted, as this meant that his family had another income.

"Well, let's go and ask on the street."

Zhang Qian was also very happy. When the two arrived at the street, she was recognized before even asking about the situation.

"Hey, Master Zhang, I was planning to go find you tomorrow. That shop is rented on the street and sells candies.

The rent is one hundred and thirty-five per month, payable once a month, and you come and get the money on the third day of every month when the door is closed."

This is a commissioned rental, and the price given is the market price, so it has been completed.

"Okay, then I'll come over in the morning on the 3rd, and I'll collect my wages at the factory in the afternoon."

The current rule here in Beijing is that wages are paid on the third, and during the New Year's Eve, wages can be paid in advance.

Unlike later generations, many of them were delayed until the 20th, which was a disguised deposit of one month's salary, which was a scam.

"Okay, you can take this month's money first. Counting from the 7th, there will be twenty-four days, and I will give you one hundred and eight."

The staff quickly went through the formalities and took the money. It was rented from the street, so I could handle it myself.

"Okay, that's the number."

Zhang Qian immediately put the money in her pocket. From now on, she can live a good life just by collecting rent every month.

Out of the street, Zhou Jianguo seemed quite excited. Although he didn't get a penny, the rent belonged to the family.

"Oh, one hundred and thirty-five per month, that's too much. It won't last a year. Just wait and I'll do the math."

"No, you can't even count your elementary school education? Isn't it just one year..."

Zhang Qian was also stuck. After all, before time travel, she was also a college student who had studied advanced mathematics. Even calculus was a piece of cake, but she couldn't figure it out quickly.

"It's one thousand, six hundred and twenty a year, and this money can buy two big houses.

If you use it to buy white flour for 17 cents, you can buy more than 9,000 jins, and even if you buy Fuqiang flour for 25 cents, you can buy more than 6,000 jins."

"Wow, you are so awesome, you are so good at arithmetic."

Zhou Jianguo had a look of admiration on his face. He was able to have a primary school education because he was the eldest in the family, but he basically didn't go there until he was in the third grade.

"No, I'm a senior...forget it, I'm telling you about things to pay attention to in the factory, and I'll take you to work early tomorrow morning."

Zhang Qian tragically remembered that she had only been educated in primary school in this life and had never been to junior high school, which was disappointing.

"Morning!"

On Monday morning, Zhang Qian was rinsing her mouth by the pool in the courtyard. She went to apply for resignation today and could still collect one day's salary.

“Poverty is exquisite!”

Liang Jinxiu also came out to wash up. He took an old washcloth and wiped it on his face randomly.

"Come, wash your face."

Zhou Jianguo came out with a basin. He got up early and had already prepared breakfast.

"Um!"

Zhang Qian responded, took the twisted handkerchief, and wiped her face well.

Then he soaked the handkerchief in a basin and used it to wash his face.

This operation is so normal. Let alone a couple, some families share a washcloth and a water cup for the whole family.

Liang Jinxiu couldn't stand it anymore and was heartbroken. It was unfair that a promising young man like her was miserable and single!

Thinking about it made her heartache. She hurriedly had breakfast and got ready to go to work in the factory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the house, she saw Zhang Qian pushing a bicycle in the courtyard, and Zhou Jianguo was putting a scarf on her next to her. The scene shocked her again.

As a result, Liang Jinxiu was stunned on the spot and didn't react until Zhang Qianhe walked past.

"No, Zhang Qian, why don't you go out together and not go to work?"

"Come on!"

Zhang Qian waved her hand and got up early to report to the factory on the last day, which was also memorable.

"this……"

Liang Jinxiu could only follow quickly, looking at the backs of the two of them, heartbroken, she secretly swore that she must be single this year.



But she said that Zhang Qian got up early today, arrived at the factory, parked her bicycle and asked her to wait for a while.

She went to the workshop to make a fortune. She earned about one dollar and thirty cents a day. As long as her name was recorded, even if she resigned today, she would get one more day's wages.

After entering the factory, Zhang Qian and Zhou Jianguo parted ways.

Liang Jinxiu just entered the workshop,

Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I saw Zhou Jianguo standing under the office building. What was going on?

"Jianguo, why did you get into the factory?"

"Jinxiu, hello. I'm here to work in the factory."

"What? Zhang Qian still has the ability to arrange a position for you.

That’s not right, you and Zhang Qian just got married, how can the street arrange work."

Liang Jinxiu was confused. This was not in line with common sense.
