Chapter 12 Selling the job and successfully registering
“You want to sell your house and your job together?”
Guo Huifang suddenly raised her voice, and Lin Siqiao was unsure what she meant for a moment, so he simply stopped.
"Yes, Aunt Guo."
"The main reason is that once I sell my job, I will most likely not return to Ancheng in the future."
"It's not a good idea to leave the house empty all the time, don't you think?"
"That's right."
Guo Huifang nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Qiao, let me ask you something, can you make the decision about the house and the job?"
They all work in the same unit, and as the union chairman, she knows something about the employees' family situations.
I was so happy just now that I didn't think too deeply about it. Now that I think about it, I feel like something is not right.
This child has to take the college entrance examination and sell his job and house.
Do her family members know about such a big thing?
Don’t make this decision on impulse because you are angry with your family!
Seeing the concern and worry on her face, Lin Siqiao simply said it out loud.
Anyway, it’s been published in the newspaper, and everyone will know it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
"Aunt Guo, I have severed my relationship with the Lin family, and the agreement has been signed."
"I have full control over work and the house, don't worry about that."
Hearing this, Guo Huifang opened her mouth in shock.
What happened? Why did the relationship end for no reason?
She remembered that the Lin family had no problems with their background.
But thinking about it, this was someone else's family affair, and as an outsider, she couldn't say much.
"Xiao Qiao, I understand what you said. Do you think this will work?"
"The market price of your job is about 700 to 800 yuan."
"But it's hard to find a job now. As a favor to you, we'll raise the price to eight hundred."
“As for houses, you know that public houses have no property rights.
"The general price is around 500-600 yuan. The highest we can offer is 550 yuan. We can't give more than that."
Lin Siqiao nodded. The price was about what she expected.
She had originally been thinking that if the other party really wanted it, she could be a little more polite about the price.
I didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Seeing that she agreed, Guo Huifang was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Xiao Qiao, thank you so much."
"See if you have any bills you need. I still have quite a few."
"I'll bring it to you later."
These days, bills are equivalent to the second currency.
Especially the national food coupons, industrial coupons, and special coupons for the three major items are very popular.
Unless you have a very good relationship with them, they won’t lend you money at all.
Lin Siqiao thought about it and decided that she didn’t need any other things, but she could use a watch.
Otherwise it would be quite troublesome if you don’t know what time to go out.
The styles on the platform are too avant-garde, wearing them outside is simply courting death!
"Auntie Guo, if you have a watch ticket, please bring one for me. No need for the others."
"Okay, I understand. By the way, Xiao Qiao, do you have time this afternoon?"
"Yes, but it will be after two o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll come to your house after two o'clock."
The two agreed on a time, and the bus arrived just in time.
Lin Siqiao waved her hand and said, "Aunt Guo, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Go ahead, go ahead, do your thing."
Not only did Guo Huifang personally send the person to the car, she also rushed to pay for the ticket. Her enthusiasm was so great that Lin Siqiao was a little overwhelmed.
Lin Siqiao had no idea that Guo Huifang had already been looking for houses everywhere half a month ago.
Don’t you think this incident just proves the old saying, when Qiao’er’s mother opens the door for Qiao’er – Qiao is home!
There's no way around it because there are so many people in my family and the house is only 50 square meters at most.
The parents-in-law lived in one room, the couple lived in one room, and the remaining largest room was given to their three sons.
In the past, when the children were young, they could just squeeze together and get by.
Now that they are all at the age to start a family, where would these young couples live if they got married?
My son’s workplace does have welfare housing, but the numbers are based on seniority.
For young people like them who have just entered the country, they can forget about it without spending five to eight years.
Thinking back to the scene just now, Guo Huifang felt really lucky.
She really didn't expect Xiao Qiao to give her such a big surprise!
Now the problems with the house and the job have been solved.
Do you think she could not be happy?
No, she had to go back quickly and prepare the money and bills. Nothing could go wrong at this critical moment.
Here, after the bus swayed for more than twenty minutes, Lin Siqiao got off at the stop closest to the Education Bureau according to his memory.
All the materials were prepared early in the morning and the entire registration process went very smoothly.
After a while, the staff handed her cultural examination certificate.
It looks not much different from the admission ticket of later generations, except that it has an additional recommending unit.
The exam will be held in the middle of next month, which is less than a month away.
However, Lin Siqiao was not panicked at all. Instead, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
This is the first time in her life to take the college entrance examination!
Why do I say it is the first time? The reason is very simple. In her later life, she was a recommended student and went straight to a doctorate, so she did not need to take the college entrance examination at all.
This is also why she dared to deal with the housing and job issues before the college entrance examination results came out.
Because she is confident enough and has the confidence!
What Lin Siqiao didn’t know was that in that special era, no matter how strong one’s personal abilities were, one was destined to face a fate that he could not resist. Of course, this is a story for later.
For lunch, Lin Siqiao randomly found a state-owned restaurant. In this era, one must experience the joy of eating out, just like checking in at an internet celebrity restaurant.
The waiter's attitude was not very good, but it was definitely not enthusiastic.
The food tasted just average, but if I had to give a positive point, it would be that the portions were quite large.
Fortunately, Lin Siqiao didn't order any staple food, otherwise he would have been too full.
When I returned to the family compound, I saw two or three people standing in front of my house from a distance.
It was noon in June and the temperature was still very high. Several people had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"Auntie Guo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"No, no, it's not even two o'clock yet, and we have nothing to do at home, so we came here early."
Guo Huifang introduced them to her, "This is my lover, and this is my good-for-nothing son."
Lin Siqiao greeted them, opened the door, and let them all come in to talk.
As soon as Guo Huifang sat down, she took out the things in her bag.
"Xiao Qiao, the total here is 1,350 yuan, please count first."
"This is a watch ticket. I also brought you some cloth coupons and industrial coupons."
"The weather is going to get hotter soon. You can make some skirts to wear to keep cool."
The other party was honest and kind, so Lin Siqiao didn't act pretentiously and accepted it generously.
The money was counted twice in front of them.
This was a habit she developed in later life, everything was said and done in person.
This will avoid any mistakes later on, which would make both parties unhappy.
"Yes, that's the number."
"Aunt Guo, I'll write you the house agreement and receipt now."
Guo Huifang was too embarrassed to speak at first, but after hearing what Lin Siqiao said, the last bit of worry in her heart disappeared.
This child is impeccable in the way he behaves and does things.
"Auntie Guo, please take a look. If there is no problem, please sign here."
"Okay." Guo Huifang took a quick look and signed it.
The agreement was made in duplicate, and both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it, and the matter was settled.
Lin Siqiao went back to his room and put these things away, actually putting them into the space.
"Auntie Guo, let's go to the Labor and Personnel Department later to hand over the work procedures first."
"I will also vacate the things in the house as soon as possible."
"There's no rush about the house, you can live here first." Guo Huifang said sincerely.
