Suddenly, Da Long had a flash of inspiration and said, "My sister's name is Chen Cuihua, and her daughter is Yan Xiaonan, who is a college student who was admitted to a university in Beijing."
This statement contains a lot of information. Police stations are divided into districts. There is also a police station near Beijing University. It would be more convenient for you to ask there.
So the two of them were taken to the police station in the Beijing area, which was near Yan Xiaonan's courtyard house with one courtyard and eight courtyards.
Upon hearing the name Yan Xiaonan, the staff there immediately became wary, scrutinizing the two individuals from head to toe for a long time before subtly inquiring:
"What are your names? Where are you from? And what is your relationship with Yan Xiaonan? What do you want with her?"
Erlong laughed upon hearing this, realizing they had come to the right place and the right people: "Comrade, we are not bad people, we are Yan Xiaonan's uncles."
After taking the letter of introduction from Erlong, the comrade told them to wait and ran inside to make a phone call to the Yan family.
Now that Yan Xiaonan is married, there are two phone numbers in the eight-courtyard house: one for Ye Ren's side in the front courtyard and the other for Yan Xiaonan's side in the back courtyard.
Since it was Yan Xiaonan's uncle, I decided to call the phone in the backyard, but no one answered after the phone rang for a long time, so I had to call the front yard.
Ye Ren received the call. He frowned slightly. Yan Xiaonan's uncle was Old Man Chen's son.
Oh dear, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.
He promised to send Old Man Chen's two grandsons to the base to suffer and correct their bad habits of stealing chickens and dogs.
I'll make a call later to see if the border guards need any new recruits. It's better to suffer than to face legal trouble.
"Thank you. I'll have Yan Xiaonan come to the police station right away. Please have them wait a moment."
Nan Nan was looking at reports at the garment factory when Ye Ren made a phone call. Upon learning this, Yan Xiaonan prepared to go to the police station.
After hanging up the phone and going to the police station, the officer became excited as soon as he heard Yan Xiaonan's voice.
Yan Xiaonan is a really good person who donated ten bicycles to his local police station.
Half an hour later, Yan Xiaonan appeared at the police station, looking at the two unsophisticated men, searching for memories deep in her mind.
"You must be Yan Xiaonan. You've grown up so much, and you're still so beautiful." Erlong had a guess in his mind as soon as he saw the girl at the door.
"You are... ...?" Yan Xiaonan really couldn't remember whether this was her eldest uncle or her second uncle.
"I am Erlong, your second uncle, and this is Dalong, your eldest uncle," Erlong quickly introduced.
Yan Xiaonan looked at the quick-witted Erlong and smiled slightly: "Uncle, you must be tired from the train journey. Come with me."
Da Long and Er Long hurriedly followed Yan Xiaonan out of the police station. When they saw Yan Xiaonan pointing to a car and telling them to get in, both of them felt their legs go weak.
What kind of car is this? They've never seen one before. Looking at the closed doors, they didn't know how to get in.
Yan Xiaonan opened the car door, invited the two of them to get in, then started the car and drove towards the guesthouse.
"Uncle, are you here to look for work, or are you going back after visiting Grandma and Grandpa?" Yan Xiaonan asked directly.
"Nan Nan, we want to earn some money in Beijing to take back home. You know how it is back in our hometown; it's all contracted farmland now, and we're both a bit lazy, so..."
Erlong couldn't continue talking later on. The area of the contracted farmland was not large, and it was enough to support his wife and children.
"Uncle, let me make this clear from the start: if you want to make money, I can introduce you to jobs. One of them includes room and board, plus a salary."
When Da Long and Er Long heard this, their eyes lit up. Food was included, and they would also get paid. But how much would the pay be?
"What kind of job is this Nan Nan? It's so good, with room and board included! Do you know how much she makes each month?"
"The construction workers are paid forty yuan a month, with five yuan deducted for rent and utilities each month, and one lunch provided per day," Yan Xiaonan explained simply.
Forty yuan a month, minus five yuan, that's thirty-five. Damn it, that's over four hundred a year!
Erlong, who only earned two or three hundred yuan after two years of work back home, was stunned. No wonder Cuihua was able to support her parents in their old age. If he had money, he could do the same.
And Nan Nan said something like, "Construction company, isn't it just about building houses and being a bricklayer? He knows how to do that."
“Nan Nan, my good niece, you’re amazing. You found such a good job for your uncle as soon as you arrived. I’ll take it. I’ll definitely do my best.”
Da Long, who was listening from the side, hesitated. He was a carpenter and didn't know how to be a bricklayer. What should he do?
"Nan Nan, I don't know how to be a bricklayer, can I learn?"
"Uncle, do you know how to be a carpenter? Your monthly salary is a little lower, but it's still forty. Five yuan is deducted for accommodation, but there's no lunch."
"Okay, okay, Nan Nan, your uncle is a carpenter. If there's no lunch, there's no lunch. We can save money by cutting back on our own."
Yan Xiaonan took the two to the guesthouse, and after checking them in, he took them to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
My uncle is also an elder, so it's only right to treat him to a meal; we can't be rude.
"Uncle, you'll stay at the guesthouse tonight. The money has already been paid. Someone will come to take you to your workplace tomorrow."
Grandma and Grandpa will be coming tomorrow too. I don't care whether they want to associate with you or not, but my mom doesn't want to associate with you, so... ..."
Yan Xiaonan didn't finish her sentence, but Dalong and Erlong looked embarrassed. Cuihua had a good temper, but she would immediately turn into a madwoman when it came to Yan Xiaonan's personal safety.
The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Chen arrived at the guesthouse and sighed when they saw that the two of them hadn't recovered after a night's sleep.
"Here are twenty jin of grain coupons. Ten jin each. Since Nan Nan has given you jobs, do them well, or you'll regret it if you get kicked out."
Da Long and Er Long were taken aback; they were going to be driven away!
Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Old Man Chen was furious. He could tell at a glance that they wanted to take advantage of Nan Nan to cheat and swindle.
He snorted coldly and left with his wife. The city wasn't his hometown; there was no way he could fool everyone there. Every position was filled.
A short while later, two people arrived: a foreman from Yan Aidang Construction Company and a workshop foreman from a furniture factory.
They listened to their boss: those who were useful would stay, and those who weren't would leave. Their probationary period was the same as all other workers; they had no special privileges.
Erlong followed the foreman to the construction company, but was so intimidated by the company's grandeur that he shrank back and walked with his head down.
First, their names, ages, places of origin, and work abilities were registered. Then, work clothes, hats, shoes, and dormitory keys were distributed.
Chen Erlong was surprised to find work clothes provided. He touched the fabric and thought it was thick and warm. He thought to himself, "It's so nice in the city; even working here comes with clothes, hats, and shoes."
