The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yanhua was in her first year of high school last year. After the Lunar New Year, she will be in the second semester of her first year. She will be in her second year of high school in the fall. She will be in her second year of high school now and will graduate next year.

Yanhua's academic performance is average; she probably won't get into university.

Yang Dalin was thinking of getting her a job quota in advance.

This shouldn't be a big problem.

But then he remembered that there were still the Ma brothers and his sister Qi Xiaoning, so Yang Dalin blurted out, "Brother Sheng, the unit knows about my merits, right?"

Don't know how to reward me?

Qi Desheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Yang Dalin smiled obsequiously: "Brother, how about I ask for three job openings?"

Qi Desheng suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and his eyes widened: "How many?"

Yang Dalin smiled sheepishly and gave an OK sign: "Just three."

Qi Desheng probably realized that he had spoken too loudly just now, so he lowered his voice and said urgently, "There are only three. Do you know how hard it is to get a quota these days? And there are only three."

I didn't know they were laying off people outside the city.

Yang Dalin had one bottom line, but that didn't stop him from making exorbitant demands.

Moreover, if you open your mouth to ask for three things, you might be able to get two things done, or at the very least, you'll be able to get one done.

Besides, I don't need it right now; I still have time to work on it.

Yang Dalin opened his backpack, took out a captured Tokarev pistol, and handed it to Qi Desheng.

Qi Desheng's eyes lit up as he took it, then he asked, puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Yang Dalin said, "This is for you, brother. It's one of the few we captured. It's yours."

Yang Dalin could lie without even blushing.

Zids quickly disassembled the gun and then reassembled it.

Without loading the magazine, he lightly pulled the trigger and said, "Didn't our May Fourth Movement copy it?"

"That's good, but I can't accept your offer of a good gun. I can apply for one quota for you, but you've given me three at once, that's too much."

Yang Dalin picked up another cigarette from the table, lit it for Qi Desheng, and said, "Brother, don't rush, listen to me."

I don't need three right now.

You know my aunt's older sister? She won't graduate until next summer. She's the first one, but she won't be needed until at least next year.

And then there's my brother Ma San, he'll only be sixteen next year, so there's no rush this year.

Finally, there's my aunt's younger sister, who's only starting junior high this fall; she's still a long way from starting junior high.

You have plenty of time to operate.

I'm not saying I need three jobs that I can start working on right away.

"Later is fine too."

Qi Desheng nodded, pulled open the drawer, slid the gun into it with a flick of his wrist, and then pushed his chest forward to close the drawer.

He said, "I see. Well, that's something we could consider."

Yang Dalin looked at his movements and realized that they were exactly the same as those of many corrupt officials who later accepted bribes.

It's a long-standing tradition.

Perhaps many corrupt officials figured it out on their own.

Why do my actions with Qi Desheng look so much like a shady deal?

When Yang Dalin saw that Qi Desheng had put away his gun, it meant he had accepted his gift, and things would be much easier to handle.

He quickly replied, "Of course I can do it, brother."

Brother, next time you go to a meeting, tell your superior that another department poached me, and they offered me a very good deal. I only stayed because of you and because my superiors have been so kind to me.

"By the way, bro, besides doing something big for that department, I also helped the Heilongjiang railway department catch a theft gang. Did you know about that?"

Qi Desheng's eyes widened as he asked, "They called to confirm your identity last time, and you even helped them catch a group of thieves?"

"Yeah, brother, you don't know about this, do you? This happened after they confirmed my identity."

Eight people were arrested at once. They had stolen from dozens of people. It was a big deal at the time. I helped with the arrests. None of the gang members escaped.

Is this also an achievement?

Doesn't this also bring glory to our station?

The freight police failed to do it, but our truck drivers did it for you. Wouldn't you feel more confident going to the meeting?

"You can't mention other things, but you can bring this up properly during the big meeting, right?"

Qi Desheng thought about it and realized, "That makes sense."

Yang Dalin's other achievements were known only to a small number of people within the department and were kept strictly confidential.

Even holding a grand commendation meeting for Yang Dalin is not allowed.

But this matter can be brought up, and it can even be brought up on a larger scale.

The more merits Yang Dalin made, the more proud Qi Desheng became.

The more radiant he is, the more pleasing his superiors will be to him; the more pleasing they are to him, the faster he will be promoted.

A brother who can help you get promoted should be rewarded properly.

Thinking of this, Qi Desheng patted Yang Dalin on the shoulder and said happily, "Good brother, I must help you."

However, just to be on the safe side, you should contribute a few more wolf-skin rugs later.

"I'll see your boss off for you."

Yang Dalin still has dozens of wolf corpses in his space this time.

There's no problem with the several wolf-skin rugs.

He readily agreed: "No problem, Brother Sheng, I'll give you five sets, and we can talk about it if you need more."

However, we have to wait for it to be tanned, which takes time.

Although it will take time, everything is brand new, not secondhand goods bought from someone else.

Qi Desheng nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you're getting better and better at handling people."

Yang Dalin agreed, saying, "Of course, since I'm the soldier led by Brother Sheng."

With Brother Sheng's brilliant and skillful command, how could I not improve?

Seeing that he had finished his business and started talking nonsense again, Qi Desheng quickly slapped him hard: "Are you sure you can do this? Stop saying such flattering things, it's so fake."

As long as you're not in a rush, these three job openings shouldn't be a problem.

I'll ask around for you later and keep an eye out for you.

What are you thinking about your sister?

Do you want to transfer it to the ministry or our station?

Or perhaps another department?

Yang Dalin asked in surprise, "Can I still go to the ministry?"

Qi Desheng nodded: "It should be about right. After all, you made such a big contribution this time. Your sister will graduate from high school next year, so she'll be educated enough to get a job in the ministry."

Yang Dalin thought for a moment. The department's work location seemed to be quite far from his home in Nanluoguxiang, more than ten kilometers away.

The freight station is only a little over five kilometers from Nanluoguxiang, but this place is almost twice as far.

Moreover, he was unsure of the impact that period would have on the ministry.

However, the impact on passenger transport capacity was quite severe in the first three years.

Because on one day, more than 170,000 students took the train to Beijing to "connect" with the outside world.

More than two million people came in August of the first year.

Good heavens, this is serious.

Forget it, it's better to go to the freight station.

With Brother Sheng and I protecting him, and Sister-in-law Xuemei protecting him when we arrive, that's the only way to ensure safety.

Although passenger trains took up a lot of freight train space at that time, it was much better for dealing with goods than with people.

Thinking of all this, Yang Dalin shook his head: "Brother Sheng, let's forget about getting into the ministry. Let my sister come to our station instead."

From now on, I'll assign him to work under my sister-in-law, and I'll let her mentor him. I don't mind.

Qi Desheng didn't understand why Yang Dalin wouldn't let him go to nice places. He thought Yang Dalin just wanted to be with his god-sister every day, going to and from get off work together.
