Chapter 269 I like you!!

Sijiu City Committee, Deputy Mayor Luo's Office,
Secretary Cheng conveyed Zhang Shenfei's thoughts in detail to Deputy Mayor Luo without reservation.

After hearing this, the latter felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened.

"What a good idea! What's wrong with Zhang Shenfei's brain? How could he come up with such a good idea? Why didn't I think of it? "

Immediately, he stood up and found Leader Cui and Secretary Ai to tell them the idea and usage of the "temporary residence permit".

What he didn't expect was that although Secretary Ai thought this was a good idea, Leader Cui thought it was a terrible idea:

"Isn't this just hiring people forward and not backward? If we really approve this 'temporary residence permit', I'm afraid the farmers will talk about us behind our backs!"

"No, this idea is absolutely not acceptable. I don't agree with it!!!" Secretary Cui slammed the table as he spoke.

It is said that everyone is equal in XZG, but doesn't this "temporary residence permit" divide people into different classes? ? ?

This is like driving the LS in reverse!!!

"But Lao Cui, if you disagree with this, do you have a better way to solve this problem?" Deputy Mayor Luo frowned and retorted, then emphasized, "I'm not referring to the problems the steel mill is facing now, but similar problems that occur in the city every year."

After these words were spoken, Secretary Cui fell silent.

In fact, when the country was just liberated a few years ago, not many farmers flocked to the cities.

It was not until the first W-year plan in 1953 that my country began to accelerate its industrialization process, and many factories began to recruit a large number of workers...

During those years, millions of people across the country moved from farmers to workers in cities.

But the state later discovered that many of these people were farmers seeking off-farm employment with ulterior motives.

Therefore, starting from 1955, the government began to consciously control the influx of rural population into cities.

They even issued an "Instruction on Establishing a Regular Household Registration System", which requires that when an entire household or an individual moves into or out of a county-level administrative area, they must report to the county-level government and obtain a migration certificate.

Although no further documents were issued afterwards, it has been increasingly difficult for farmers to move to cities.

Even so,

But as the saying goes, every policy from above has its countermeasures from below.

In recent years, many farmers have been seeking ways to move to the city, openly or secretly.

The reason why these people can stay in the city under the policy is that the employers cannot do without migrant workers and provide them with conveniences in both overt and covert ways.

If we look at it from this perspective, the emergence of the "temporary residence permit" provides these employers with a new option.

If the employer only needs to help the farmers apply for a "temporary residence permit" and let them work for themselves, who would go to the trouble of forcing them to stay in the city? ? ?

Of course, this cannot completely prevent farmers from moving to cities and switching to non-agricultural employment, but it can certainly greatly reduce a considerable portion of them.

Secretary Ai obviously thought of this point, so he broke down the logic and explained it to Leader Cui.

"Lao Cui, as the saying goes, it is better to ease than to block. If we completely ban farmers from entering the city without any flexibility, I'm afraid we won't know what kind of trouble it will cause. It would be better to use the 'temporary residence permit' as a buffer zone between the city and the countryside..."

“And I think the ‘temporary residence permit’ only provides farmers with a channel to move to the city, giving them an additional option during their slack season, but it does not force them to move to the city.

Whether to enter the city or not, and how long to stay in the city, is the choice they have. There is no need to talk about exploitation or any hierarchy.

Those farmers are not fools. They will definitely not do anything that is not profitable.

And as long as they do it, it proves that they think this matter is also of some benefit to themselves. "

He also gave an example to Leader Cui, saying that this was similar to dating.

If a man likes a woman, the woman must agree before the relationship can continue. This is not a blind marriage like in the old society.

"I said today that I need 100 farmers to come to the city, so I immediately grabbed the men and brought them here, and gave them temporary residence permits!! It's not like that, right!!!"

Leader Cui continued to remain silent.

Seeing this, Deputy Mayor Luo wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Secretary Ai: "Let Lao Cui think about it himself. I think he can figure it out."

"But the Household Registration Regulations...we don't have much time left." Deputy Mayor Luo was a little nervous.

Then report the proposal for the "temporary residence permit" together. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late.

"Time is running out?" Secretary Ai suddenly blinked, "How many days are left?"

"Three days."

Secretary Ai blinked a few more times and glanced at Secretary Cui: "Three days, that time is indeed very tight, but there is nothing we can do.

You know our Lao Cui's personality, he is very stubborn. If he can't figure it out, it's useless for you to talk to him!! "

At this point, he patted Deputy Mayor Luo on the shoulder and said, "You, we can only hope that our old Cui, an old-fashioned man who can't adapt, can figure it out sooner!!!"

Deputy Mayor Luo received his message and also sighed: "That's right, Leader Cui will be sixty soon. He is a bit old-fashioned in his thinking. He is old and his brain is not working well. We can't expect him to be like us..."

The two of them sang the same tune and poked at Leader Cui's heart.

Isn’t it said that the people who know you best and can hurt you the most are always the ones around you? ?
Before the two men finished speaking, Leader Cui couldn't stand it anymore.

He knocked on the table and said unhappily:

"Who are you calling old-fashioned? I'm telling you, just because I agree with this 'temporary residence permit' doesn't mean I think it's a good idea. In essence, I'm most against classifying people into different classes.

I agree to do it, just because under the current circumstances, the "temporary residence permit" can indeed solve some of the current difficulties in the city. "

finished,

He stood up and went to the cloakroom to get his coat, then turned his head and glanced at Deputy Mayor Luo and Secretary Ai: "What are you standing there for? Didn't you say there were only three days left? Let's go!!!"

Ouch! This is agreed!!!
Deputy Mayor Luo was ecstatic, but he didn't show it on his face. He just walked over and punched Leader Cui in the back: "I take back what I said just now. Your brain is far from rusty!!"

"Hmph! Put away your little tricks. I am a staunch proletarian fighter. I cannot be bought off with just a few words from you."

"I know, I know, I know your position is the most firm!!!"

……

After finally getting the chance to go out for a walk during working hours, Zhang Shenfei rode his bike around the city for a long time, and finally returned to the Daqianmen Tavern when it was time for lunch.

The tavern does business from after dinner until the early morning, similar to the bars of later generations.

It's noon now, the store is still closed and the door is locked.

Zhang Shenfei locked his car at the entrance of the pub, and then went around the alley behind to the front door of Xu Huizhen's house and knocked on the door knocker.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps coming from inside, accompanied by Xu Huizhen's crisp voice asking who it was.

"I." Zhang Shenfei's answer was simple and clear.

"Oh, Brother Zhang is here?" Xu Huizhen opened the door with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Zhang Shenfei walked in and saw her carrying Xu Jingli on her back in a blanket. He asked curiously, "Why don't you buy a cradle???"

How tiring it is to carry a child like this, won’t your back and waist ache after a day? ? ?
Xu Huizhen took the ticket in her hand and patted it while answering, "You need a ticket to buy a cradle. I was trying to find one but couldn't get one."

Ah, this...

How could I forget this???
Looking at Xu Jingli, whose face was rosy in Xu Huizhen's arms, and the little girl's dark eyes looking at him, Zhang Shenfei waved his hand without saying anything: "Isn't it just a cradle? Leave it to me!!!"

With me, Zhang Shenfei, here, why would I worry that the little girl doesn’t have a cradle to sit in? ? ?

If I can't get it, I'll go to the North Mountain of the Space to chop down a tree and make one for her myself! ! ! I guarantee the little girl will be comfortable with it! !

Zhang Shenfei was full of pride, and Xu Huizhen was immediately happy. She stretched out a finger and poked Xu Jingli's little face: "Oh, that's great! Our Li'er will also have a cradle? Are you happy? Are you excited? Don't you feel grateful to Uncle Zhang?"

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, you're calling me old." Zhang Shenfei was extremely shameless. "Just call me brother!"

“Ah??? I call you Brother Zhang, and my daughter calls you Uncle Zhang?” Xu Huizhen’s face was full of black lines.

"I'm just kidding." Zhang Shenfei touched his nose, "Well, I'm hungry. Go make us some food and I'll take care of the affairs."

After saying that, he took the child from Xu Huizhen.

Seeing that it was indeed time to make lunch, Xu Huizhen rolled up her sleeves and went to the eaves to pick up a cabbage: "Brother Zhang, what do you want to eat today???"

"There's no need to bother with just the two of us. Let's just make hand-rolled cabbage noodles." Zhang Shenfei answered casually while holding Xu Jingli in his arms to tease her.

"Okay, then let's roll the noodles by hand." Xu Huizhen walked into the kitchen carrying cabbage.

Xu Jingli's giggles could be heard from time to time in the air of the courtyard.

Rolling noodles was considered a basic skill for northern women in that era. Even a capitalist lady and a strong woman like Chen Xueru could do it quite well.

Xu Huizhen, who has been doing farm work since she was young, is very good at it.

For soft dumplings and hard noodles, Xu Huizhen kneaded the relatively hard dough, and while it was rising, she cut the cabbage into thin strips and crushed the onions, ginger and garlic.

Heat the pan with cold oil, add the onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the cabbage stalks and stir-fry, then pick up the thermos and add hot water.

While the water was boiling, he started rolling out the noodles: "Brother Zhang, how wide do you want your noodles to be?"

Zhang Shenfei teased Xu Jingli and replied, "It's all fine. You decide. I won't be picky."

The noodles were served.
Xu Huizhen let Zhang Shenfei eat first, while she held Xu Jingli in her arms and coaxed her to sleep.

She patted the child's back gently, muttering: "When people are born, they are good by nature, and their natures are similar..."

Zhang Shenfei swallowed a big mouthful of noodles and chuckled, "Other people sing lullabies to put their children to sleep, but you just sing the Three Character Classic."

"Well, I just want to be different from others. I hope our Li'er will be different from most women of this generation. She won't always stay at home, but will be able to make a name for herself..." Xu Huizhen said with her eyes full of expectation.

Zhang Shenfei followed his thought and realized that in the original drama of "The Woman Under Zhengyang Gate", Xu Jingli was beautiful and had a good temperament.

She was admitted to BJ University and became the general manager of a hotel after graduation. She is indeed different from most women.

I have achieved the goal of making a name for myself.

Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled confidently: "Yes, our Li Er will be able to do great things when he grows up!!!
If you have any difficulty taking care of Li'er in the future, just come to me."

"Brother Zhang, thank you for being so kind to our family." Xu Huizhen looked at Zhang Shenfei.

"Well, I have a connection with this child. Every time she sees me, she is always happy. I want to be nice to her."

It had been a while since Zhang Shenfei had eaten hand-rolled noodles, so he had a good appetite today. After finishing two bowls of noodles, Xu Jingli was still asleep, so he held the little girl and let Xu Huizhen eat.

Xu Jingli was originally half-closed in Xu Huizhen's hands, but after he took over, she suddenly became energetic and started dancing.

"This girl is really crazy." Zhang Shenfei stretched out his finger, scratched Xu Jingli's nose and said.

"It's not that I'm a crowd pleaser. Our Li'er really likes you." Xu Huizhen said, "I've adopted Li'er for quite some time. Many neighbors in Qianmen have seen her and played with her.

But our Li Er is the most lively and happy only when he sees you. "

Zhang Shenfei was very proud when he heard this: "It seems that I am quite charming."

After they chatted and laughed for a while, Zhang Shenfei asked Xu Huizhen if she knew that Siyaner and Wen Ruanruan were about to get married.

Xu Huizhen slurped a mouthful of noodles and replied, "I know. Ruanruan has already informed me and told me to definitely go to the wedding banquet when the time comes."

Thinking that Wen Ruanruan was able to force Siyan'er to have sex with her, and it was all her idea, Xu Huizhen said with some emotion:
"They have been together for several years now, and now it has finally come to fruition. Ruanruan can finally get what she wanted,"

"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhang Shenfei also sighed, "It's all because of that hypocritical Siyan. They were childhood sweethearts, why did they go into such a sadistic relationship???"

"By the way, Siyan'er's parents died early, and Wenruan's family doesn't have many people left. You should arrive early on the day of their wedding and help support them."

"Yes, I will." Xu Huizhen answered obediently.

"When the time comes, I will ask my grandma to go there earlier as well." Zhang Shenfei said again.

Xu Huizhen suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at him steadily: "Brother Zhang, will your partner also go?"

Zhang Shenfei nodded: "Me, my girlfriend, Siyan'er, and Wen Ruanruan are all childhood friends. We grew up together. When Wen Ruanruan and Siyan'er get married, she will definitely go."

After hearing this, Xu Huizhen didn't say anything else, but picked up the chopsticks and started eating again.

Zhang Shenfei didn't suspect anything and started teasing Xu Jingli again.

Seeing Xu Huizhen finish a bowl of noodles, Xu Jingli began to nod frequently. When he was about to fall asleep, Zhang Shenfei suddenly heard Xu Huizhen say again: "Brother Zhang, do you still remember Chen Xueru???"

Chen Xueru??? Ask her why???
Zhang Shenfei's eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down: "Remember, isn't she the owner of the silk shop not far from your tavern??? What happened? "

Xu Huizhen began to collect the dishes. While she was busy, she said something lightly, which made Zhang Shenfei gasp immediately.

"What did you say? Say it again??!!!"
