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

Alright, confirmed. One's a tigress, the other's henpecked. Beautiful women are tigers, it's true what they say.

Yang Dalin was startled by the sound.

Gong Xuemei scolded Qi Desheng for a while, and before leaving, she took the cigarettes he had just snatched from Yang Dalin.

He left happily with a pocket full of White Rabbit milk candies given to him by Yang Dalin, who also invited him to visit.

Looking at the pitiful Qi Desheng, Yang Dalin offered him a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his bag.

"Don't worry, Sheng-ge, here, I've saved this pack for you."

After Gong Xuemei, the "tiger mom," left, Qi Desheng pretended to be serious and talked to Yang Dalin about work again.

Tell him that the wages are set according to those of locomotive maintenance workers because the locomotive maintenance section is one of the highest-paid jobs in the railway department.

Because maintenance workers are all heavy laborers, even though their rations have been reduced, Yang Dalin can still receive 45 jin of grain a month.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin realized that this was a great help and quickly grasped Brother Desheng's hand: "Thank you so much, Brother Sheng, you've really helped my family a lot. I'll get you some pig's head meat later so you can take it home tonight to have with your drinks."

Qi Desheng took Yang Dalin to the truck drivers' rest room first and introduced him to a good mentor.

These were also soldiers who served under Qi Desheng.

His name is Tian Xueyi, and his nickname is Tian Yishou, which means that he can easily turn the steering wheel of a truck without power steering system with one hand.

This shows that this person is also very strong.

Yang Dalin then took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his bag, opened it, and handed one to Master Tian.

Then he gave Qi Desheng another one and then stuffed the whole pack into Tian Xueyi's hands.

Qi Desheng looked at Yang Dalin's small satchel and asked him, "You have a few packs of cigarettes in your bag. What are you going to do with them? He doesn't lack cigarettes. With me here, he wouldn't dare not teach you properly and waste them."

Tian Xueyi looked at his new apprentice and his old superior with a grin.

He said without any politeness, "Whether I need cigarettes or not is my business. My apprentice gave them to me as a gift. What, you want to take them away?"

Have some shame.

It seems they are another pair of brothers who have gone through thick and thin together, and they have a good relationship in private.

Yang Dalin still needed to go to the neighborhood committee and the police station to handle household registration matters, so he said goodbye and left. He would come directly to find Tian Xueyi tomorrow morning.

Aunt Qi had to go home to wait for a letter at noon.

So Yang Dalin pretended to go out for a while, but actually just wandered around somewhere. When he came back, he brought the two of them two catties of pig's head meat. He didn't buy any wine, saying that he didn't have any tickets yet. He said he had the snacks to go with the wine, and the two of them could figure out how to drink it themselves.

The two men wanted to pay after receiving the pig's head meat, but Yang Dalin said they would talk about it later and ran away.

When Yang Dalin was out of sight, Qi Desheng asked Tian Xueyi, "How's this apprentice?"

Tian Xueyi said very seriously, "Not bad, magnanimous, quick-witted, and able to quickly build rapport with outsiders."

Qi Desheng nodded and added, "Also, they're bold."

Tian Xueyi asked him, "How did you figure that out?"

Qi Desheng waved the paper-wrapped pork in his hand: "This, and he personally arrested a human trafficker who was carrying a gun."

Tian Xueyi asked him to elaborate, and after Qi Desheng finished recounting what he knew about Yang Dalin, Tian Xueyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "He was a good soldier."

Qi Desheng nodded and said, "Of course he's a good soldier. Otherwise, if my father-in-law asked me to arrange someone, I would have arranged someone. I would have to find out the details first. But my father-in-law rarely arranges people. I guess he saw that the other person was of good character and a good prospect."

So I've given you this promising talent. See how good I am to you? Take good care of him. I'm going back to my office now.

Tian Xueyi didn't react at first, but when he heard Qi Desheng say that, he agreed, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have let you arrange it personally. Sigh, sigh, no, you son of a bitch, you left me half of the pig's head meat, and you wanted to take it all, didn't you? You wanted to eat it all by yourself, stop right there..."

Tian Xueyi went to chase after Qi Desheng.

Yang Dalin rode Grandpa Qi's cart slowly, and only then did he feel a sense of belonging.

I visited Beijing in my past life, but I've always had the mindset of a "Beijing drifter".

I never imagined that I couldn't buy a house in a big city in my past life, but in this life I saved a few children and got a household registration and a job.

It was truly a matter of timing and fate.

Yang Dalin first took his employment certificate to the neighborhood committee.

Naturally, the street office director doesn't need to come out in person to handle the procedures. Even if he does, it's usually a high-ranking official who has been transferred over.

Yang Dalin is nothing, just an ordinary worker.

However, Yang Dalin is missing a document, namely, proof of transferring his household registration.

Qi Yulan was helping Yang Dalin with the paperwork at the street office, but because one step was missing, they eventually had to find Wang Hongxia.

Wang Hongxia was working when she saw Qi Yulan leading Yang Dalin in. She quickly stood up and said, "Dalinzi and Comrade Yulan are here. Please sit down, please sit down."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Dalin affectionately addressed Director Wang as Aunt Wang, and Wang Hongxia thanked them for donating so many gifts.

Finally, when she learned that Yang Dalin had gotten a job and could transfer his household registration to Beijing, she was genuinely happy for him.

Director Wang Hongxia also said, "Yulan, Dalinzi, I had been paying attention to this matter since Dalinzi arrested three petty thugs last time. I was thinking that whenever there was news about a job in the neighborhood, I would recommend Dalinzi as soon as possible."

Surprisingly, the child managed to handle it all by himself.

Aunt Wang is happy for you. Keep up the good work!

Yang Dalin didn't know if she was telling the truth, but since she had the intention and the attitude, and there was no conflict at the moment, he should express his gratitude. Saying thank you didn't cost any money.

"Thank you for thinking of me, Aunt Wang. I'm so grateful for your concern."

Director Wang Hongxia waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me. You're a young man of good character. If there's a job available in our neighborhood, we'll naturally give you priority. Is there anything you need? If so, just say so."

Wang Hongxia noticed that Qi Yulan seemed restless and hesitant to speak.

Yang Dalin patted Qi Yulan's hand and nodded, saying, "I have a small matter to trouble Aunt Wang with. You know my situation. I came to Beijing as a refugee and didn't have a letter of introduction from the brigade to transfer my household registration."

So I'm still missing one piece of proof to register my residency.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongxia knew that if the matter were to proceed through the normal procedures, this letter of introduction would definitely be required.

However, Yang Dalin was a refugee who had fled to the area. This situation was common in various neighborhoods. At the time, they issued them temporary residence certificates. Whether or not they had a letter of introduction from their hometown was important or not was entirely up to Wang Hongxia.

A sixteen-year-old boy is not a spy. His grandmother and fellow villagers also fled with him, which can prove Yang Dalin's identity.

Some of the refugees were lucky enough to find jobs.

None of them had letters of introduction, as not every local official dared to issue letters of introduction for those fleeing.

There was a high-ranking official in the south who dared to issue certificates to those fleeing to Hong Kong; he had extraordinary courage. Unfortunately, he was later persecuted.

However, having served as a grassroots cadre for so many years, Wang Hongxia is naturally very flexible in handling matters.

She was prepared to give Qi Yulan face, so she said, "According to the normal policy procedures, it is definitely necessary to go back to the original household registration to get this letter of introduction."

However, your situation is not uncommon across the country. You have your original household registration certificate and a temporary residence certificate issued by our street office, which is sufficient for now.

I'll explain the situation to the colleague handling the paperwork. Next spring, once Dalinzi has made some money, you can take leave and go back to your hometown to complete this paperwork. Just fill in the date of the household registration transfer a few days before today, and then get the letter of introduction ready."

(I don't know if this method is correct, but it's to close a loophole. Normally, transferring household registration requires going back to the hometown to get a transfer introduction letter. I was afraid some people would criticize me, so I closed this part.)
