The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 34, Courtyard No. 98
No. [-] Auto Accessories Factory, No. [-] Design Department.

Chen Guohua put the ruler, abacus and other tools on his work station, said hello to Bai Lichun, and then went out.

The latter also knew that Chen Guohua could not get into work immediately.

You must finish your chores before you can start working.

Next, Chen Guohua followed Qin Zhiyuan to take ID photos.

The money given by the latter, totaling two photos and one negative, cost [-] cents.

It's extremely expensive, but there's nothing you can do about it, it's just that expensive.

Generally speaking, a box of film contains thirty negatives and sells for six yuan.

In other words, the cost of a negative is [-] cents, but the photo studio cannot price it at cost, so the photo studio sells it for [-] cents.

It costs [-] cents to develop one photo, and [-] cents for two photos.

Add a piece, and that's forty-one cents.

"After the photos are taken out, you can save the negatives. You only need to develop a new negative in the future."

After coming out of the state-owned photo studio, Qin Zhiyuan shared his own experience.

Chen Guohua naturally smiled and nodded in response.

In fact, there is a high probability that this film will never be re-developed.

After all, the next time he takes the photos he needs, it will probably be many years later.

Besides, generally speaking, very few people change jobs in this era.

Basically, I work at one job until I retire.

Returning to the personnel department again, Fan Xinhe had already prepared the car.

As a result, when Chen Guohua saw the car, he realized that wasn't it the same car Bai Lichun drove in front?

The distance from Chaoyangmen to Nanluoguxiang is about three kilometers.

The drive only takes a while.

However, Fan Xinhe took Chen Guohua to the subdistrict office first to say hello to the subdistrict office.

Entering the office of the sub-district office, Fan Xinhe smiled and greeted the people inside warmly.

"Hey, is Section Chief Fan here? What kind of wind brings you here?"

Xie Xiaofang looked at Fan Xinhe and Chen Guohua with a smile, with surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

"Director Xie, I'm sorry, I'm here to trouble you again today."

Fan Xinhe chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then explained his intention in a few words.

Most of the employees of the First Auto Parts Factory live in the Dongcheng area.

Therefore, Fan Xinhe is very familiar with the street offices in this area.

After all, we often interact with each other, so this is definitely inevitable.

"Oh, this Comrade Guohua looks very young. Where did you find this young talent?"

Xie Xiaofang heard this and inquired tentatively.

This is a professional habit.

Xie Xiaofang has gotten into this bad habit since entering the subdistrict office.

There are many things that I want to know more about.

"Haha, you have to ask Director Bai of our design department about this. He discovered it."

Fan Xinhe laughed and simply dealt with it.

The next step is to handle Chen Guohua’s settlement.

With the guarantee from the No. [-] Auto Accessories Factory, Chen Guohua only needed to provide a letter of introduction from the Mentougou Miaofengshan Second Production Team.

This is the beginning and the end.

Of course, there is no such thing as a household registration book now.

Some are just a thin piece of paper.

This thing is not simple. It carries benefits such as industry, medical care, education, elderly care, and housing.To distinguish people's identities, there are rural and urban distinctions.

Now, Chen Guohua and his four brothers and sisters have transformed from rural status to city dwellers eating commercial grain.

After the steel seal was stamped, Chen Guohua carefully put away the piece of paper, and then followed Fan Xinhe and Xie Xiaofang out of the street office.

The latter personally took Chen Guohua and Fan Xinhe to No. 98 Nanluogu Lane.

"Director Xie is here. Is there a new neighbor in our courtyard? Is it the house in the middle courtyard or the backyard?"

As soon as I entered the front yard gate, I met an aunt face to face.

The aunt greeted them very warmly, but kept looking at Chen Guohua and Fan Xinhe.

"Aunt Fang, are you going out?" Xie Xiaofang also smiled.

However, this smile is a bit hypocritical.

"If you're not in a hurry, come to the Central Court later to get to know this new neighbor, so that I don't have to notify you one by one."

Aunt Fang's face stiffened slightly when she heard this.

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back later."

After saying that, she ran out as if running away.

Xie Xiaofang sneered and said to Chen Guohua:
"Xiao Chen, the aunt who just lived in the west wing of the backyard lives in the west wing of the backyard. There are six people in her family. The eldest son is 23 years old and has not yet been married."

In the 50s, the age of marriage was set at [-] for men and [-] for women.

However, most people get married before the legal age of marriage, and a de facto marriage is sufficient.

That is to say, get on the bus first and then pay for the ticket.

So it’s very strange that Aunt Fang’s eldest son is 23 years old and still hasn’t gotten married.

Why aren't you married yet?
Why did Xie Xiaofang say this inexplicably?
Chen Guohua thought for a moment and immediately understood.

That must mean there is no job and no house.

Generally speaking, as long as there is a formal job, the unit will basically allocate rooms.

Aunt Fang’s eldest son has neither a formal job nor a house. Which girl is willing to marry him?

What's more, Aunt Fang has a family of six, and the west wing only has two rooms.

Even if they relax the requirements and marry a girl from the countryside, their family will not be able to live in them.

Coupled with the expression on Aunt Fang’s face just now, she was probably staring at the vacant rooms in this courtyard, right?

As soon as Chen Guohua arrived, Aunt Fang's plan came to nothing. No wonder her expression was so ugly just now.

No wonder Xie Xiaofang would say such confusing words.

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Chen Guohua said gratefully, but Xie Xiaofang gave up and continued walking inside.

It was mid-afternoon and there was no one in the front yard.

The middle courtyard is quite lively.

Seven or eight aunts were sitting on the verandah, basking in the sun.

More than a dozen little kids were chasing each other in the yard, and there were also slugs playing games.

Seeing so many people, and they were all in the yard, Xie Xiaofang suddenly smiled.

"It just so happens that you guys are all here. Let me tell you directly. You can inform the other neighbors later."

"The young man behind me is named Chen Guohua. He and his three sisters will live in your courtyard No. 98 from now on."

"This is the chief of the personnel department of the First Auto Parts Factory. Comrade Chen Guohua will be the technician of their factory from now on."

"Aunt Wang, doesn't your old man work over there on Nanwei Road? Comrade Chen Guohua works in the new factory outside Chaoyang Gate."

After that, he ignored the aunties who were frying the pot and led Chen Guohua to the east wing.
