Get something in the courtyard

Chapter 2
Beijing, railway station
Wang Kun, carrying a big bag and holding a big burden on his back, came out of the BJ train station with Xueer in hand.

The reason why I carry a big baggage is to deceive others.Xue'er is not young anymore, so we can't treat her like a child who doesn't understand anything.

Inside the big baggage was Wang Kun and Xueer's luggage. Although it looked big, it wasn't actually heavy. Wang Kun put all the really heavy things into the space.

"Xue'er, don't run around, follow your brother."

Xueer responded sweetly: "I understand, brother."

I asked people near the train station and found that Nanluoguxiang Street was quite far away from here. Wang Kun would not walk there just to save a dime on the ticket.

Even by car, it took an hour and a half to reach Nanluoguxiang Street.

Arriving at Nanluoguxiang Street, Wang Kun thought it would be easy to find the street office.It can only be said that he was really too young. After making many twists and turns and asking several passers-by, he found the office address of the subdistrict office.

In this regard, Wang Kun can only comment that Old BJ's alley is really difficult to find.

There were quite a few pedestrians at the door of the street office. They must be ordinary people who came to do business. The old guard greeted them warmly.

When Wang Kun arrived, his attitude was not so good: "Little comrade, who are you?"

There was still some defensiveness in his eyes.

Wang Kun put down his bag, handed a cigarette to the doorman, and said, "Uncle, I am a retired soldier and was assigned here. Now I am bringing my sister here to go through the formalities."

The old doorman didn't take the cigarette he handed over.

Wang Kun had no choice but to take back his cigarette and took out his letter of introduction and discharge certificate from his bag.

The old man looked back and forth several times before saying, "You have to go to Director Wang of the Street Office. Go over here, enter the door and turn left. Go straight and you will find her office."

Wang Kun thanked the old man and handed over the cigarette again. This time the old man did not refuse.

Quite responsible.

Following the direction pointed by the old man, Wang Kun took Xueer to the yard over there.

Director Wang's office was not closed, and the conversation inside could be heard from a long distance away.

Of course it's not a secret.

"Director Wang, how is your grandson doing?" an aunt's voice sounded.

"Hey, don't mention it, but I'm worried to death. My son and daughter-in-law are both busy with work and have no time to take care of the children. We have run out of milk powder again, so our grandson doesn't have enough to eat at noon, so we have to wait for her mother to come back. If you want to buy milk powder, you can’t buy it at all.”

This should be Director Wang's voice.

Unexpectedly, the director of the subdistrict office could not get milk powder.

Wang Kun thought to himself, this is a good opportunity. He happened to have milk powder here, and he took it out for Xueer to eat on the train.It's just that this little girl doesn't know what's good and doesn't want to eat.

"Hello, is Director Wang here?" Wang Kun knocked on the door and asked.

Director Wang responded: "I am this comrade. What can I do for you?"

Wang Kun said: "That's it. I am a retired soldier and was assigned to our street. I am here to report."

Director Wang thought for a while and said, "You must be Wang Kun. We have received the notice. Who is this little girl?"

Wang Kun took out the letter of introduction and relevant certificates and handed them to Director Wang: "Xue'er is the daughter of my comrade in arms, and she is the only child left in the family."

Director Wang read the letter of introduction and said: "The first notification we received was that you came here alone. Now there is an additional Xue'er. We need to verify it with our superiors. We need to wait."

"Yes. Xue'er, come here and thank Director Wang." Xue'er shouted obediently: "Thank you, Director Wang."

Thanks to Xue'er's well-behaved behavior, Wang Kun and Director Wang also became familiar with each other.There is another aunt in the house named Liu, who is also a street clerk.

Wang Kun said: "Xue'er and I just heard your conversation outside the door. I happen to have half a can of milk powder here. If Aunt Wang doesn't mind it, please use it."

Director Wang said seriously: "How can this be done? We can't accept your things."

"This is not a collection. If you don't want it, I can only throw away the milk powder. These milk powders are for Xue'er, and this little girl doesn't want to eat them."

Wang Kun took out the milk powder directly from the bag and said it was half a can of milk powder. In fact, Xueer had not eaten it several times at all.He took out another bag of sugar and put it on the table.

"These were given to me by my comrades in the army when I was discharged from the army. Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu will try them."

That Aunt Liu was also a human spirit. If she didn't take the candy, Director Wang wouldn't be able to collect the milk powder, so she smiled and said, "I haven't eaten candy for a long time, so I'll take a piece to try."

After a few more refusals, Director Wang said, "I can't ask for your things for free, so I'll pay for them."

Wang Kun said: "There isn't much left in this can of milk powder, so it only costs five yuan."

In fact, this can of milk powder is imported from RB. It is quite expensive. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. Five yuan is really not much.

Director Wang was obviously a knowledgeable person and said, "Okay, you can help me a lot this time. If anything happens in the future, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, I will definitely help you."

At this time, the reply from the superior came down, so naturally there was no problem.

"Xue'er's pension is five yuan per month. You can just bring Xue'er over to collect it when the time comes."

Director Wang took out a piece of information about grain books and non-staple food books.After Wang Kun finished filling in the information and confirmed that it was correct, he said to Aunt Liu: "After you eat Xiao Kun's candy, go run errands for him and get the food and non-staple food books."

Aunt Liu agreed with a smile and went out with a handful of candies.

"Do you have any requirements regarding housing?" Director Wang asked.

In this era, most people live in courtyard houses.Those single-family yards are either the old BJ people's own houses, or they have been given to others, and there are simply no left.

Wang Kun said: "It would be best if there is a separate courtyard. If not, it is best to choose one close to the school so that Xueer can go to school more conveniently."

Even if he knew the result, Wang Kun still wanted to give it a try, just in case there was a yard of his own.

Director Wang said: "Don't even think about the single-family courtyard. It has been divided up long ago. There are two rooms available in Courtyard No. 45, the larger one is [-] square meters and the smaller one is [-] square meters. Your and Xue'er's conditions are also If it matches, I will make the decision and give it to you, what do you think?"

With no choice, Wang Kun could only accept it and said, "I listen to Aunt Wang."

After choosing a house, you can go to the police station to apply for household registration. Once the household registration is completed, he and Xueer will be considered BJ people.

The police station was not far from the subdistrict office, and Director Wang was with him. After the household registration police verified his information, they went through the procedures for him.

Soon, Wang Kun got his household registration book and the head of the household was Wang Kun.

When applying for the household registration book, Director Wang asked if he wanted to change Xueer's name.Wang Kun thought about it and realized that it was not necessary, so he still asked Xueer to call her by her original name, Li Xue.

After leaving the police station and returning to the subdistrict office, Aunt Liu was already waiting in the office with a food book and a non-staple food book.

He took the food and non-staple food books and put them away carefully.This will be very important in the next ten years.After it is lost or damaged, it can be troublesome to handle it again.

Seeing that Wang Kun had put it away, Director Wang said: "Let's go, I will take you to Courtyard No. 45. I will introduce you to the situation in the hospital on the way."

Wang Kun did not refuse. With Director Wang taking him there, there were still many benefits. At least those who wanted to bully them also had concerns.
