The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

Yan Bugui looked at Shen Zhiyu in surprise, unable to understand how Shen Zhiyu could say such cold words.

He stared blankly at Shen Zhiyu, then slowly said, "Officer Shen, how could you say that?"

"Teacher Yan, it's like the sky wanting to rain, or a mother wanting to remarry—these are things that can't be changed!"

"Let's just live our own lives and mind our own business!"

After Shen Zhiyu finished speaking, she waved her hand and walked past him straight towards the central courtyard.

Yan Bugui stood there, watching Shen Zhiyu's retreating figure, his feelings a complex mix of emotions. He wanted to refute Shen Zhiyu, saying that people shouldn't be so cold-blooded and heartless, but Shen Zhiyu's words weren't without merit.

"Hey, well, it's really hard to say, eh!"

Yan Bugui sighed, closed the courtyard gate, and went home.

Shen Zhiyu entered the central courtyard and found everything quiet. She went straight back to her side room.

He had just turned on the stove and put coal briquettes in the stove hole when there was a knock on the door.

"Officer Shen, it's me, Sha Zhu!"

Outside the door, Sha Zhu's voice rang out.

Shen Zhiyu opened the door, looked at Sha Zhu standing there, smiled slightly, and said, "Master He, is there something you need?"

"Officer Shen, Sister Qin and Jia Dongxu really are divorced. Can you really help Sister Qin find a job?"

"I'll look for it tomorrow!"

Shen Zhiyu just wants to get some sleep right now.

Although he hadn't drunk much, he was a little tipsy and wasn't in the mood to chat slowly with Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing Shen Zhiyu's words, Sha Zhu simply gave her a thumbs up and said, "Officer Shen, you're so righteous! You can rest now, I won't bother you anymore!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Sha Zhu withdrew.

Shen Zhiyu closed the door, boiled some water, quickly soaked her feet, and then crawled into bed to sleep.

I slept soundly until dawn.

Shen Zhiyu looked at her grain jar, sighed, and decided to go out for breakfast.

The grain bin is almost empty; he needs to find some time to go to the grain store and buy some more grain.

However, he really couldn't get used to eating coarse grains.

Eating this occasionally, even just a couple of meals, is good for increasing dietary fiber intake. But eating it every day would be too much for him.

But that's how the rationing works: there's coarse grains and refined grains, with coarse grains making up the majority and refined grains only accounting for 40%, the rest being coarse grains. In a few days, this ratio will be adjusted, with refined grains making up only 30%, or even less.

Of course, the quantitative amount will also be reduced.

As Shen Zhiyu walked out of the courtyard house, she sighed. How was she going to get through this?

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Three years!

wrong!

It's not just three years, but the next twenty years or so will likely be similar.

During the era of rationing, there was always a certain ratio between coarse and refined grains.

Perhaps, I can do good deeds.

Old Yan's family is large and eats a lot, so he'll just have to suffer a little. He can exchange his coarse grains for their refined grains later. I'm sure some actuarial master will agree.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyu felt much better.

After breakfast, we headed straight to the steel rolling mill.

Fan Zhijun went to the North Suburb Machinery Factory after the Spring Festival and is still working at the steel rolling mill. He always wants to stand firm at his post until the very end.

When Shen Zhiyu arrived at the factory, she prepared to ask Fan Zhijun for leave.

"Why are you asking for leave?"

"I'm going to the clothing factory to ask for a job!"

Shen Zhiyu didn't hide anything.

Some things, the more you hide them, the more people will gossip about them; conversely, if you speak openly and frankly, people will generally not think too much about them.

"Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, those two bastards, they really have guts!"

After hearing Shen Zhiyu's explanation, Fan Zhijun became very angry.

They didn't visit the mentally impaired Shen Zhiyu often because each visit would only worsen her condition. Who would have thought that Yi Zhonghai was actually a hypocrite!

"Section Chief, don't get involved in this. I'll deal with them slowly!"

Shen Zhiyu had no intention of involving anyone else.

After all, they had no grudges against Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. If they did anything, they might be accused of something.

"Is it appropriate for you to go directly to the clothing factory?"

"Is it inappropriate?"

Shen Zhiyu chuckled, "I helped the clothing factory recover its stolen wages, and they didn't even offer a token of appreciation. That's really inappropriate!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhijun felt that it seemed to be true.

"I'll have Chen Guofu go with you!"

Fan Zhijun directly called Chen Guofu and asked him to drive Shen Zhiyu to the clothing factory.

As it turns out, one shouldn't be too concerned about saving face.

When Shen Zhiyu went to the clothing factory, she met the factory manager and got straight to the point, stating her purpose.

The factory manager of the clothing factory had never seen anyone named Shen Zhiyu before.

This is blatant extortion!

But can one refuse?

No!

If he refuses or gives a bureaucratic answer, the news will spread quickly throughout Beijing. At that point, will he still have any shame?

Of course, most importantly, Shen Zhiyu's request was not excessive.

"Xiao Shen, is that all?"

When Chen Guofu and Shen Zhiyu left the clothing factory, they were shocked. These days, finding a permanent job is not an easy thing, but Shen Zhiyu actually solved it in one go!

"It's done!"

Shen Zhiyu was not surprised at all.

Just like he said, people shouldn't be too concerned about saving face.

The factory manager of the clothing factory was concerned about his reputation, so he had to solve this job problem.

Shen Zhiyu was shameless, so he got the job.

"Xiao Shen, it has to be you again!"

"I didn't know you were not only good at solving cases!"

Hearing Chen Guofu's praise, Shen Zhiyu just chuckled and thought to herself, "It's not that I'm great, it's just that I'm shameless!"

I've secured a spot.

Shen Zhiyu decided to go all the way and had Chen Guofu drive back to the courtyard to find Qin Huairu, who was talking to an older woman in the middle courtyard.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, this is a job introduction letter for the garment factory's production workshop. Take your documents with you, and we'll go to the subdistrict office now to complete the formalities!"

What procedures?

That's for things like changing household registration and receiving food ration certificates.

Of course, there's also the housing issue that needs to be addressed.

This requires the clothing factory to step up its efforts.

But overall, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The clothing factory will definitely handle things perfectly; they have a lot to lose!

Everything was done in one morning.

Qin Huairu was very excited throughout the whole process. Although she didn't express it verbally, she shed tears several times.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, from now on, work hard! Women hold up half the sky!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Qin Huairu's gaze towards Shen Zhiyu was incredibly intense.

Shen Zhiyu waved her hand and left without a trace.

Chen Guofu and Shen Zhiyu walked back to the steel rolling mill. Chen Guofu sighed softly and said, "Little Shen, if I ever do anything wrong in the future, please don't hold back. Tell me what you need to say, and if you need to hit me, hit me!"

"Brother Chen, why are you saying this?"

What do you think?

Chen Guofu rolled his eyes.

For the first time, he realized that Shen Zhiyu was actually quite petty!

Jia Dongxu deserved his bad luck!
