Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At first Zhou Hengfu wanted no severance pay, but Fang Bingsheng was benevolent enough to pay it, and Zhou Hengfu finally accepted it.

    He bought a small house and settled in Haijing, which was a challenge to traditional culture.

    Because traditional people from the Qing Dynasty did not have the habit of buying houses in other places. Everything was rooted in their hometowns: if they had money, they would buy land and build houses in their hometowns, build ancestral halls, and honor their ancestors. Making money in other places was just for the sake of making money.  Will not take root.

    Who among the Chinese workers wandering in Europe and the United States doesn¡¯t think so?  Workers wandering in big cities such as Haijing also think this way.

    So much so that even urban real estate developers mainly focus on renting.

    It¡¯s not just Haijing, it¡¯s the same in Shanghai, it¡¯s the same for Chinese people all over the world.

    But the Zhou family is different. They have a celebrity son who is studying at Peide, an extremely powerful university, to become an official.

    "And it's 100% for him to be an official, as long as he doesn't care about being fat or thin.

    If you are an official?  Why don't you take root in the capital?

    Who doesn¡¯t want his children to become high officials?

    Therefore, Zhou Hengfu, a rickshaw driver, made up his mind to buy a house for his second son!

    Letting your ancestral home be ruined by the wind and rain, letting your unscrupulous neighbors cut down the big tree you planted for your son¡¯s wedding!

    He gritted his teeth and wanted to buy real estate in the capital.

    This is to cut off the roots, but compared with Guangzong Yaozu, whose descendants are officials, how does cutting off the roots matter?

    "If his son needs to cut his braids when he becomes an official, he will respectfully hand over the braids that he has kept for decades to the Haisong court in a minute.

    Being an official is the core, what is being a local gentry, what is repairing ancestral homes, and what is managing ancestral graveyards.  It¡¯s all false!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you don¡¯t rise to great heights, the devil will respect you!  ¡ª¡ªThis is what Zhou Hengfu, an old-timer with pigtails, thinks.

    If you want to buy land, the place should be close to where Zhou Hengfu goes to work at the new primary school. Fortunately, the place where the new primary school is built is unlikely to be prosperous and developed. The land price is not high. The money is not much, but Zhou Hengfu is still reluctant to buy it. He is the cheapest nearby.  I bought a small yard in my area, and I have to drive the car for two kilometers to my home and work every day. This place happens to be Shuihuo Street in Shiligou.

    Although I left my master¡¯s home and career.  It seems that the Zhou family and Fang Bingsheng have gone far away.  However, Fang Bingsheng and the old servant were very kind. During the holidays, the old Zhou family and the Fang family would definitely visit each other.

    "Moreover, the Zhou family regards Fang Bingsheng as their master.  Fang Bingsheng still supports the Zhou family: Zhou Lizai leaves the Fang family.  There is no master anymore.  It was like Sun Wukong was under a tight spell: within three months, he was fired from the seafood restaurant for fighting and ran a fish stall on Shuihuo Street.  But his side job was as a gangster, hanging around with this or that group of gangsters on Water and Fire Street, until my father went to beg Fang Bingsheng.

    Fang Bingsheng used his connections and some money to help him become a temporary worker in the newly established Shiligou District Health Bureau branch.  The Health Bureau, a newly-established institution of the imperial court, was most short of manpower. Although the officially established officials and servants were not available, it was easy to buy temporary workers. As a result, Zhou Lizai also went to work as an errand in the Health Bureau and even put on a uniform.  uniform!  The Zhou family was so grateful that their hearts would die for Fang Bing.

    Just like a mortal and the sun: the sun lets you leave it, and you endure the burning pain in your eyeballs even if you want to look up, as if you no longer know what the sun is doing, but it is the sun, and every plant and tree around you is  Telling you what the sun does.

    "Oh, Lao Zhou, you brought such a big pig head here again. I know that I will have to think of repaying you, haha. What, you ask me how I am doing? I will not build the railway this year, the court has no money, and  There is no funding, you know, Boss Weng and he are worried to death. He is going to preside over the election again. What is an election? You asked it last year, it is that retarded Western thing that makes the court happy.  , but this time it¡¯s a small place called Longchuan. It¡¯s for Mr. Zhong Jialiang. When will you come back? That kind of ghost place can be solved by the master just by flipping his hands. He will probably go home next week, haha  ." Zhou Hengfu heard the butler say this when giving a festive gift to Fang Bingsheng's family.

    "I heard from the newsstand that the master is famous! Didn't he go to Longchuan to preside over the election? Why is this trivial matter even published in "Haijing Jiwen"! I quickly bought a copy, brother, please read it!"  The drunken Zhou Lizai ran home with a newspaper. The semi-literate man gasped and shouted to his illiterate father and his younger brother Peide, who was doing homework.

    "What? The Longchuan Public Security Bureau destroyed the Yamen? Isn't the master still there? Why did he rebel? Is the master in danger? I will go to the master's residence immediately to check. Don't worry about me. I won't come back if there is no news. Tomorrow  Li Zai, make breakfast for your brother!" Hearing that Tian En told the news he heard from the young master at school today, Zhou Hengfu pushed away his rice bowl, put on his cardigan and rushed in.Several people still regard themselves as Fang Bingsheng's servants and friends.

    Fang Bingsheng, whose career was ruined and his family was bankrupt, had nowhere to stay, so Zhou Hengfu patted his chest and asked the master to live in their home in Shiligou.

    Fang Bingsheng's family stayed there for a few days. The Fang family slept on the bed and the Zhou family slept on the floor. Fang Bingsheng felt that occupying a magpie's nest was not a problem, so he rented a wooden building next door to accommodate his family.  The wooden building is a simple shed made of wooden boards. It is rickety and looks like it could collapse with a kick. However, the rent for this kind of wooden building costs three yuan a month, which is paid by Zhou Hengfu in advance.

    A month later, while his wife was still crying, Fang Bingsheng had already sadly entrusted Lao Zhou to find a job. He had exhausted all his connections and contacts and understood what had happened, which also meant that he could never return to his original trajectory.  .

    The most important thing right now is what to eat and drink at home. Not to mention that the younger son is still studying in the dormitory, the older son has to review for the imperial examination, and he and his wife have to eat. Even the brown rice eaten by the poor costs money. Without a job, how can he live?

    It is not difficult for a literate person to find a job near a large slum. If there are no job opportunities, why do poor people gather here?

    Lao Zhou soon found out that there were several jobs on Shuihuo Street, but they were all clerks in coffin shops and huckster agencies. Fang Bingsheng felt unlucky and refused to go, and finally went to a Shuihuo shop: Dechang Shuihuo shop was a mom-and-pop shop, and there were many shortages.  A bookkeeper, because the Shuihuo store cannot operate overtime at night, the job is easy, and the monthly salary is only three yuan and fifty cents. Everyone likes to work overtime, and they think this job is poorly paid and no one can do it, so I have never recruited anyone who can read or write.  people.

    It is extremely easy for a literate person to find a job, but without the old Zhou Zhou Hengfu, it would be absolutely difficult for people like Fang Bingsheng to find a job, because he used to be a Phoenix - a big boss level, and small shops would not dare to hire him: I  Hire an unemployed kid for 4 yuan a month, and he does it happily; hire someone like Mr. Fang?  Isn¡¯t 4 yuan a tip that people used to give to shoe polishers?  Why do people want to do this kind of work?  Will it last long?  Good job?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
