The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 473 People’s hearts have changed
When Qin Huairu asked about the He family's job quota in Fengze Garden, the others didn't care about why He Daqing retired.
Like Qin Huairu, they also asked about the job quotas at the He family.

"Yes, yes, yes, Jianguo,
Please tell us about your job quota in Fengzeyuan. If it is still available, can you discuss and let Guangfu change his job?
Don't worry, I know that jobs are scarce right now, and I will definitely not let your family suffer any loss."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had taken the lead, Qin Huairu did not dare to show weakness and said,
"Uncle Liu, doesn't your Guangfu have a job now? Why are you competing with everyone else for it?

You thought you would give this job to our Jingru because of me. When she gets married to your Guangtian, she will be yours. Why are you fighting with me for this?"

When Liu Haizhong heard Qin Huairu mention Liu Guangtian and Qin Jingru, he was furious.

Since the Chinese New Year, he has not taken care of his troublesome second son for such a long time. The reason why he wants to find a better job for his third son now may be to show off to Liu Guangtian.

As for the fact that Qin Jingru and Liu Guangtian were married and the job quota was still their Liu family's, Liu Haizhong didn't believe it at all.
His son is almost being abducted by him, and he doesn't want to lose his job again.

"Come on, Qin Huairu, we had a meeting during the Chinese New Year. I have no right to interfere with the affairs of Liu Guangtian and Qin Jingru.

As for the job quota, we will all rely on our own abilities, and whoever has the most ability will get it."

After saying this, he looked at He Jianguo again.

"Jianguo, please tell us about the job quota."

"There is no such thing as a job quota. Didn't you just say that my father is only 54 years old, not yet retirement age?

Now that I can retire from Fengze Garden, it was naturally exchanged for a job quota, so our family’s job quota in Fengze Garden was taken back by the higher-ups and allocated to others.

As for Uncle Liu and Sister Dongxu, you want Brother Guangfu and Sister Jingru to work at Fengze Garden.

You have to go find the manager.”

When Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu heard that He Daqing had given up his job quota in exchange for retirement, they were immediately unhappy.

"It's not Jianguo, why didn't you inform us before you did these things?
If we had known this earlier, we would definitely not have let your father give up the spot."

"Of course, Bu Jianguo, that's a job quota at Fengze Garden. Not to mention that I can learn cooking skills, just after becoming a regular employee, I can get at least 40 yuan a month. Others can't even think about it."

He Jianguo did not comment after hearing what the two said.

The reason why He Daqing wanted to hide it from the people in Siheyuan was because he was afraid of trouble.
Everyone knows how popular the job position at Fengze Garden is. If it was given to Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu, it would be strange for He Daqing to retire quietly.

"Haha, Uncle Liu, Sister Dongxu, things have already come to this, no matter how much you say, it's useless."

Seeing He Jianguo say this, Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu could do nothing about him.
He walked towards the courtyard angrily.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Liu Haizhong shouted at He Daqing who was playing with his grandchildren in the front yard,
"Old He, you are so mean. You didn't even tell us about such a big thing in advance. You gave such a good job in Fengze Garden to someone else."

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, He Daqing looked up and glanced at him, then ignored him. Instead, Yan Bugui on the opposite side said with a smile,

"Lao Liu, this is where you're wrong. The job quota at Fengze Garden belongs to Lao He. He can do whatever he wants with it. What does it have to do with you?
Besides, your Guangfu and Guangtian have jobs, so why are they coveting the job quota of the He family? "

Liu Haizhong was already in a bad mood when he saw He Daqing ignoring him. Now when he saw Yan Bugui jumping out with sarcasm, he directly retorted.

"Old Yan, don't try to play tricks on me. With your stingy personality, I don't believe you would be indifferent to Old He's job offer.
You must have been turned down by Lao He, so you are here to laugh at me."

Liu Haizhong really hit the point.

Yan Bugui did approach He Daqing after hearing the news, but was rejected.

"Haha, I'm not as capable as you, Liu Haizhong, a level 7 fitter in a steel mill who can easily help your three sons get their jobs done.

I, Yan Bugui, am just an ordinary teacher, not as capable as you.

Not to mention that our Yan Jiecheng's job was assigned by the higher authorities more than 10 years ago when industrialization just started. I didn't put in much effort.
Just talking about our family's liberation,
I'm already 17 this year, and I still haven't found a job.

Since Lao He's family has a job vacancy, of course I have to ask about it. At most I will just have to spend a little more money.

But even though we have been neighbors for more than 30 years, I am not as righteous as you, accusing He Daqing of being dishonest and not telling us the news in advance as soon as I came back.
Lao He doesn't owe me anything, why should he tell us in advance?"

Yan Bugui's words made sense, but Liu Haizhong didn't care. He snorted coldly and continued to scold,
"Old Yan, stop being so righteous. You are helping He Daqing, but you are just holding on to illusions. I tell you, it's impossible. The He family's job quota has been taken back by Fengze Garden."

Looking at the angry Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui was originally ready to fight back.

But when he heard him say that Fengzeyuan had taken back the job quota, his face changed and he looked at He Daqing inquiringly and asked,
"Lao He, what Liu Haizhong said is not true,
Your job quota was really taken back by Fengzeyuan. Why didn't you tell me when I asked you just now?"

Seeing them talking here, He Daqing raised his head and said calmly,
"It doesn't matter whether I tell you or not. Anyway, the job quota has been taken back by Fengzeyuan. Telling you won't change anything.
Lao Liu, the reason why I didn't tell you is because I was afraid of trouble.
Look, you've come to my door."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong asked first,
"What's the problem? Everyone in your family has a job and doesn't need this quota. Why don't you sell it to us and we can go to Fengze Garden to work?
How much trouble can it be.”

"Old Liu, you think too simply. I am now the mainstay of Fengze Garden. Do you think I can just replace him with someone else?

No benefit, no relationship,
Why should others let me retire, and why should others let you go to work?

What would you think? I can only say that the steel mill protected you, a level 7 fitter, too well. You have lived a miserable life at your age.
The situation now is not like 10 years ago, or even 3 or 4 years ago.
People's hearts have changed a long time ago."
