The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

After clarifying the situation, Director Wang immediately began processing the relevant procedures.

Soon all the housing procedures were completed, and then Director Wang began to process Li Qin's household registration.

Soon, a brand new household registration booklet was in Li Qin's hands;

From this moment on, Li Qin is a true resident of Beijing.

Moreover, they are workers with stable jobs.

With his household registration settled in Beijing, Li Qin's grain ration book was quickly processed as well.

"Xiao Li, this is your ration book. Starting next month, you can take your ration book to the neighborhood office at the beginning of each month to collect the corresponding ration coupons, etc."

You're all alone now, and although your allowance isn't much, supporting yourself should be a breeze.

Director Wang solemnly handed Li Qin the grain ration book that belonged to Li Qin.

"Thank you, Director Wang!"

Looking at the grain ration book and household registration book in his hand, Li Qin couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although the planting space yields a large amount of grains and vegetables every day, Li Qin can live a very comfortable life even without grain rations.

But that's something that can't be brought to light.

Unlike the rations recorded in the grain book, this was something that could be openly and legitimately used.

From then on, he no longer needed to disguise his meals with cornmeal porridge.

"These two things are relatively simple to process, but the property ownership certificate is a bit slower, so you'll need to wait a little longer."

Director Wang spoke again.

Although she disapproved of the abuse of power for personal gain, she was still genuinely happy for Li Qin to see him living a better life.

After saying that, Director Wang told Li Qin and Xiao Zhao to rest in her office, while she herself left in a hurry with the housing documents.

They went to process the property ownership certificate for Li Qin's private property.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, I remember there's a photo booth not far from the neighborhood office. While Director Wang is handling the paperwork, I'll go take a picture first."

We'll need to send it to the personnel department later.

Li Qin suddenly remembered that he had seen a place for taking photos nearby on the holographic map.

We can take care of this matter while we're at it.

Clerk Zhao naturally knew that a photo was indeed required for employment at the steel rolling mill, so he did not object when he heard Li Qin's words.

Instead, he nodded and said;

"Hurry up and take the photos. Based on my past experience, it takes about twenty minutes to process the property certificate. You'll be back in time."

Xiao Zhao is far more familiar with the subdistrict office than Li Qin is.

He didn't feel like he was the one who had been abandoned here.

Anyway, after Li Qin leaves, he can go and chat with some familiar people.

Upon hearing that he only had twenty minutes, Li Qin didn't delay any longer, nodded, and immediately got up and left.

With the holographic map in place, Li Qin had no need to worry about taking the wrong path.

In addition, the photo studio was not far from the neighborhood office, so he arrived in just a few minutes.

Taking photos in this period was not as convenient as it is today, where you can pick up the photos immediately after taking them; instead, you had to wait several days.

"Young man, under normal circumstances, the photos will be developed in about seven days. You can come and pick them up with this receipt then."

After having his ID photo taken, Li Qin paid the fee according to the procedure.

The staff then gave him a receipt.

Also tell him when to pick up the photos.

"I've got it."

Li Qin was pressed for time, so he didn't waste any time and immediately returned to the subdistrict office after receiving the receipt.

Because he had told the gatekeeper where he was going when he left the subdistrict office, he was able to return to the subdistrict office;

The old man at the gate nodded to Li Qin and let him in.

When Li Qin returned to Director Wang's office, Xiao Zhao had already returned to his room, almost immediately after Li Qin.

"Is it all done?"

Xiao Zhao asked proactively.

Li Qin smiled and nodded;

"It's all taken care of. You can pick up the photos in a week."

Xiao Zhao nodded without saying anything.

Just then, Director Wang walked into the office;

"Xiao Li, this is your property ownership certificate."

Upon entering the room, Director Wang handed Li Qin a rather rustic-looking notebook.

Li Qin was taken aback at first, then smiled and accepted it;

"Thank you, Director Wang."

Li Qin naturally wanted to thank the other party for running around handling these procedures for him.

Director Wang is a true Party member and cadre who is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people.

Therefore, he waved his hand dismissively when he heard Li Qin thank him.

Li Qin did not insist on saying anything.

In his heart, gratitude is not something to be spoken, but something to be kept in one's heart.

Li Qin took a deep breath and then opened the newly issued property certificate in his hand.

The information of the homeowner, namely Li Qin, was clearly recorded on it.

It also clearly records the specific location, size, number of rooms, and other information of the house.

Li Qin focused his attention on the section describing the house's area;

The next second, he couldn't help but exhale;

This clearly records that he owned two side rooms on the west side of the main house in the backyard, as well as a small house connected to the west wing.

"What a spineless guy. He already has a hundred acres of land for planting, but now he's worried about a few houses."

Li Qin couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The main reason was that the terrifying housing prices in his previous life had left him with some lingering trauma.

Now, it's so easy to own several houses in Beijing.

The difference is too great.

While Li Qin was looking at the property certificate, Xiao Zhao also walked up to him and started looking at it at the same time.

However, Xiao Zhao wasn't curious about Li Qin's house. After all, he had handled all the paperwork for the steel mill, and he already knew about Li Qin's house situation.

He's looking at it now only to make sure there are no errors or omissions in the information on the property certificate.

"Li Qin, I've checked the property certificate, and there are no problems with the information. My work here is finished, and I should go back to the steel rolling mill."

The neighborhood committee will arrange for someone to go with you to inspect the house, so I won't go with them.

Xiao Zhao looked up and said to Li Qin.

Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately turned his gaze over;

"Brother Zhao, I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time. I have a lot of things to do today. Let's get together sometime when I have some free time."

Li Qin's idea was to befriend as many people as possible outside the courtyard house.

After all, people like those oddballs in the courtyard are a minority.

There's no harm in being on good terms with others.

Xiao Zhao did not refuse Li Qin's overtures, but nodded in agreement;

"It's settled then. We'll make another appointment when you have time."

If he were just an ordinary employee, Xiao Zhao, as a close confidant of the head of the housing management department, would naturally not need to be too close to him.

However, Li Qin's identity was different.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he has an uncle named Li Huaide is enough to make him take him seriously.

After making the appointment, Xiao Zhao bid farewell to Director Wang.

Director Wang didn't keep Xiao Zhao, since they both had jobs and other things to do.

After Xiao Zhao left, Director Wang originally planned to immediately send someone to take Li Qin to the courtyard house at No. 95 to collect the house.

But before she could speak, Li Qin spoke first;

"Director Wang, I still have some questions about the house."
