"You're going to start work in two days, and your work location is still in our Daliu team, while you live in the Dahuai team. It will take some time to go back and forth between the two places. Even if you ride a bicycle, it's not as convenient as living in our team."
Ning Xiyue pointed at the envelope and said, "This letter will come in handy right now. Do you understand?"
"don't know."
Ning Qingyuan shook his head foolishly. His thoughts were not on the same channel as Ning Xiyue's. He did not think in the direction Ning Xiyue was thinking at all. After waiting for a second, he said with a strange train of thought:
"During the interview, they told us that to save costs, no sheds would be provided for those who live nearby, and we couldn't find anyone to stay in."
"Brother, why don't you understand? It's not what you think. Besides living in the barracks, there are better ways for you to live in the Daliu team."
Ning Xiyue sat down next to her second brother, leaned closer and whispered:
"Look at our educated youth compound. Ever since those two men were taken away, a room has been vacant. There haven't been any new educated youth coming in yet, so I thought we should think of a solution. If you could become a member of our team, you could live here. We two siblings would be close together, and we could all look after each other. How convenient, don't you think?"
After Ning Xiyue finished speaking, she sat back in her seat and looked at Ning Qingyuan, waiting for his reaction.
"Will this work?"
After thinking for a moment, Ning Qingyuan was very tempted by his sister's suggestion. If this succeeded, he and his sister would be able to live in the same educated youth dormitory. In the future, if his sister had any problems, he would be able to find out in time and help her at any time. He would not have to worry about his sister being bullied. What a good thing.
"Why not? Now is a great time."
When Ning Xiyue saw that her second brother's attitude was promising, she analyzed to him why now was a good opportunity.
"Look, you're now a warehouse manager in a coal mining team. The warehouse is located in our Daliu team. Transferring here will make your work more convenient. This job will also provide you with food and drink, and you can earn money. Your transfer will not have any impact on either team, and you won't be charged any fees. You can register your household registration in either team."
"That makes sense." Ning Qingyuan suddenly understood and agreed with what his sister said.
"We have an acquaintance in the Youth League Office. Aunt Lin said she is the top leader there. It's just a matter of a word from her. Let's take some things and visit the elders this afternoon to check on the situation.
If all else fails, we can ask Mayor Huang for help. We met so many leaders in the town a while ago, but they're still worried they can't handle a simple household registration issue for educated youth."
Ning Xiyue is very optimistic about this.
This matter was not a big deal. They were two neighboring teams from the same commune, working under the banner of "working hard and contributing to national construction." She thought it should be easy to accomplish even if they had no connections.
After all, mining is currently attracting the attention of the entire Song City, Da'an County, and Yongchuan Commune.
She believed that the leaders in the town were still willing to make special arrangements, and the chance of success was higher than ever before. She personally believed that it could reach 90%. If she didn't cherish this opportunity now, she wouldn't know when she would have such a good opportunity again.
Ning Qingyuan was completely moved by Ning Xiyue's words. He put down his cup, raised his head and said firmly, "Sister, let's do as you say. Let's go visit Aunt Chen, the elder from the Youth League Office."
"Okay, let's pack up now. The day you officially start work is also the day our team starts spring plowing. I have to participate in the spring plowing as well, so I'll be busy then and won't have much time for these things. We have to get this done today and tomorrow."
After Ning Xiyue finished speaking, she took out a backpack and squatted beside the cupboard to take out something. She took out the malted milk that her second brother had brought her and put it in the cupboard. She also packed two bags of dried mushrooms that she and her second brother had collected from the mountains last fall, and took out two pieces of bacon that she had made herself and wrapped them in newspaper.
Malted milk, a portion of dried mushrooms and a piece of bacon were given to the elders who visited the Youth League Office.
The other portion of dried mushrooms and the piece of meat were given to Taotao to eat. They were all homemade and there was nothing wrong with them.
The little gray dog that Ning Xiyue released from the space a few days ago poked its head out from the side of the backpack and looked at her movements curiously.
"Xiao Hui, go play over there. We're going out for a while, so stay home and watch over the house."
After Ning Xiyue finished speaking to Xiao Hui, she handed the backpack filled with things to her second brother. She pushed her bicycle out and closed the door. Ning Qingyuan also went to unlock the bicycle parked at the door, and the two siblings rode their bicycles to the town.
Xiao Hui came out from the small door opened for it at the kitchen door, and sat quietly at the door, watching its owner walking away.
......
In Yongchuan Town, outside the gate of a small courtyard.
Ning Xiyue looked at the small piece of paper, then looked up at the house in front of her and smiled comfortably: "It's here, the address Aunt Lin gave me is this place."
"I'll knock on the door."
Ning Qingyuan parked his bicycle and walked over to knock on the door. Just as he raised his arm to knock, the door was opened from the inside.
A boy of about eleven or twelve years old came out from inside, holding a spinning top in his hand. He walked out excitedly. When he saw Ning Qingyuan and Ning Xiyue at the door, he stopped and looked alert.
"Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Ning Qingyuan put his hand down, nodded and greeted with a smile: "Hello friend, we are looking for Shen Qingxia. We are her juniors and came here specially to visit."
"Mom, looking for you."
The boy saw his friend not far away waving at him again. After hearing Ning Qingyuan's words, he shouted into the yard and ran excitedly towards his friend.
"Who is it?"
A bright voice rang out in the yard.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan tidied each other's clothes and picked up the things prepared for Aunt Chen in the backpack.
Ning Qingyuan brought malted milk and dried mushrooms, and Ning Xiyue brought a piece of bacon. They were waiting for the elders inside to come out with a slightly nervous mood.
