When Chu Qianqian saw that Liu Yifa still wanted to test himself, he cursed in his mind and shook his head, "Forget it if you rent the east wing. After I marry a wife and have children, if you suddenly come back to collect the house and take it back, I will be blinded.

Since you won’t sell it, I’ll go to the Street Records Department tomorrow to check if there are any suitable houses in this area before selling them.”

Liu Yifa couldn't hold back anymore. If Chu Xiangqian checked the files, he might be able to find out that his family bought a small yard in Maoer Hutong in the name of his youngest son.

"Wait a minute," Liu Yifa suppressed his uneasiness and asked, pretending to be hesitant, "Comrade Chu, if you really want to buy it, how much can you offer?"

Since Chu Xiangqian has Liu Yifa in his grasp, he will naturally not give a high price, but he cannot lower the price too much.

After thinking about it, I signed up for ‘400’.

Liu Yifa subconsciously wanted to discuss the price again, but there was a difference of one or two hundred from the price he expected.

Liao Wenfang agreed, "Okay, Lao Liu and I originally planned to go to the northwest a year ago so that we could be more proactive and apply for a better house.

And the sooner the work is implemented, the sooner you can feel at ease.”

Liu Yifa was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.

This is not the time to be verbose at all. The house was sold to Chu Xiangqian, so he would not check the files.

I can also find a way to transfer my family's files from the street and take them to the northwest for filing due to job changes.

When I return to the capital in the future, I will take the files placed in the northwest and return to the capital.

Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, "Then let's go through the formalities tomorrow?"

Liu Yifa nodded, "Okay, we will go through the transfer tomorrow morning. However, Comrade Chu, my price is indeed a bit low, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Chu Xiangqian nodded hesitantly, and then heard Liu Yifa say, "I am anxious to go to the northwest to contribute to the country, so I would like to ask you to introduce me to the leaders of your street archives.

If we retrieve our family's files as soon as possible, I can also apply for letters of introduction for my two children, and the files will also be used for the transfer of ownership."

Chu Xiangqian would not say that he was familiar with Xue Hongmei, who was in charge of the files in the street, and said in a pretentious manner, "Then you go to the work unit to issue a certificate early tomorrow morning, and we will go to the street to retrieve the files and transfer the ownership."

Liu Yifa nodded hurriedly.

Before Chu Qianqian left, he saw a pair of mud-covered rubber shoes at the door of the east wing.

With a thought in mind, I pretended to tie my shoelaces and took a rubber shoe into Novice Village.

After letting Da Zhuang and Hong Niu smell the rubber shoes, they immediately put them back to where they were.

After he left, Liao Wenfang asked with a worried look, "Master, are you really sure that Chu Qianqian doesn't know about the courtyard in Mao'er Hutong?"

At this point, Liu Yifa was actually not completely sure.

But think about it carefully, if Chu Qianqian knew that there was a treasure hidden in Maoer Alley, he might as well have secretly taken it out himself.

Even if I know it by then, I won’t dare to tell anyone.

I even discovered that the baby was missing, and I don’t know how many years later it was.

"Wenfang, are we scaring ourselves?"

Liao Wenfang was stunned. This guess was really not impossible.

But then I thought, "Master, don't worry about it, you can't leave the files on the street anymore. We can't let the person named Chu go to the street to check the files because he didn't buy the east wing room.

Maybe this kid has a grudge and will go out of his way to look at our family's files.

When the time comes, there’s no guarantee that he won’t suspect something wrong with us because we secretly used Guodong’s name to buy the yard in Maoer Hutong.”

Liu Yifa sighed after thinking about it, "Forget it, it's better to leave."

Liao Wenfang also nodded. If this continues, the couple might be driven crazy by the treasure.

Chu Qianqian left Liu Yifa's house, thought about it, and went directly to the third uncle's house.

I already have 3 gold bars and 792 yuan in my hand, which is enough to buy the east wing.

But in order to avoid some trouble, it is better to borrow some money.

When Yan Fugui saw that it was Chu Qianqian who came to the door, he felt uneasy at first.

Yan Jiecheng was also worried that Chu Xiangqian would cause trouble for him because the streets were not clean.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what Yan Jiecheng thought, and said to him, "Jiecheng, go and invite the second uncle from the backyard. I'll see him and the third uncle if I have something to do.

By the way, my performance today was pretty good and I will work hard to maintain it in the future."

Yan Fugui's family breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Jiecheng nodded quickly, put on his cotton-padded jacket and ran to the backyard.

Not long after, Liu Haizhong came to the door with a worried look on his face and said, "Xiao Chu, are my Guangtian and Guangfu lazy when sweeping the street today?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and waved his hand, and then said to the third aunt, "Third aunt, you take Xie Cheng and the others into the house. The third uncle, the second uncle, and I have some words that we don't want the children to hear."

The third aunt looked at Yan Fugui and saw that Lao Yan nodded, then drove all four children into the side room.

But I took the opportunity to pour water and sat aside without moving.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and whispered to Liu Haizhong and Yan Laozhao, "Today I asked my section chief and the chief of the administrative office about recruiting someone to patrol with me.

I didn’t expect it because I didn’t say at the beginning whether I wanted to recruit one person or two people.

My section chief and office chief actually took the initiative to give me two quotas for non-staff personnel.

From now on, if you patrol with me every day, you will get no salary, but you will be able to have a meal at the street cafeteria.

It’s 2 taels of meal stamps and 2 taels of vegetable stamps every day. After all, it’s about five or six yuan a month.”

Liu Haizhong was still calculating silently in his mind, but Yan Fugui shook his head after hearing this, "This is wrong, Xiao Chu, 30 days a month, 6 pounds of staple food and 6 pounds of vegetables.

Even if you go to the pigeon market to buy it, it won’t cost more than five yuan.”

"Yes, yes," Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, "The price of stick noodles has increased a lot in the past few days. Even if it costs 3 cents a pound, it is only 18 yuan.

As for 6 pounds of vegetables, they are even worthless."

Chu Qianqian smiled slightly, "But what if you can eat stewed fish or braised wild boar meat with chestnuts every three days?"

"This,,."

Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and the three aunts all opened their mouths in surprise.

Secretly, the food in your street is so good?

But I remembered that Chu Xiangqian got a big wild boar and three hares yesterday.

It’s strange that the canteen on this street doesn’t serve meat.

There are also streets that plan to distribute wild boar meat to the poor, orphans, widows, and military security guards in the area. They will eat something in the workplace canteen, and even the district and the city have no control over this matter.

An idea suddenly came to my mind.

And since Chu Xiangqian said it, of course he would ask Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong for money even for this extra-staff job.

Yan Fugui immediately made a calculation in his mind. Even if he eats it once every five days, as long as he takes it home, it will be 1 catty and 2 taels of chestnut braised pork.

This is a public-private joint venture restaurant, with a minimum of 1.5 yuan, plus 1 pound of meat coupons.

If this happens once every three days, that is 2 pounds of chestnut braised pork, and then my family will be able to eat meat every day from now on.

He hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, you came to me and Lao Liu because you planned to leave this job to our two families?"

Liu Haizhong and the third aunt's eyes lit up.

Chu Qianqian nodded, "Second uncle, third uncle, I have something going on at home and I need money. I would like to borrow 200 from you, how about it?"

Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui and the third aunt couldn't help but cursed when they heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to borrow money.

This is not borrowing at all. It is obviously using borrowing money as an excuse to come and ask for benefits.

However, Yan Fugui is an old man after all.

He is good at calculations. If he thinks about it carefully, it is not impossible to discuss this matter.

"Xiao Chu, how long can you guarantee that me and the boys from the old Liu family will work as non-staff personnel?"

Liu Haizhong also reacted.

These days, if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, let alone chestnut braised pork.

If Chu Xiangqian can guarantee that his child will be a child for two years, he will make a profit.

But if it’s less than one and a half years, it’s a loss.

Chu Xiangqian had already made plans in his mind.

"Five yuan a month for lunch is not too much, right?"

Yan Fugui nodded. When Liu Haizhong saw this, he naturally believed that Yan Fugui was an expert in calculations.

Nod along.

Chu Xiangqian then continued, "I will borrow 100 yuan from each of you, and I will set up an IOU. From now on, I will repay 5 yuan every month for 21 months.

The extra 5 yuan is considered as interest, but I won’t give you money every month. Instead, I will ask your two boys to follow me to the street canteen for a bite.

If something happens during the 21 months. For example, if your two boys are fired after ten months, then I will pay you back 11 months, which is 55 yuan."

Liu Haizhong agreed as soon as he heard it, but Yan Fugui hesitated.
