Chapter 75 Get the certificate!
"Sister, you and your family should be careful when living in someone else's house. His house is not a public house allocated by the state. It is his private house, so he has the power to take the house back."

"Especially now that my brother-in-law and Niuniu don't have Beijing hukou, they are considered illegal residents here."

"After a few days, when you are done with your work, brother-in-law, you should go back to the Northeast and first transfer your work relationship. Otherwise, you will not be able to stay here at all."

On the way, Li Changhe gave careful instructions to Li Xiaojun's family.

Chen Aiguo's job was not found by Li Changhe, but by Shen Yuxiu. It was a substitute position in the school logistics.

The so-called substitute position means that the position is held by someone else, and he works on behalf of others. He is considered a temporary worker, but his treatment is better than that of a temporary worker.

Generally speaking, this kind of substitute job is when a job suddenly becomes vacant in the family of an urban worker, but the other party's family is not old enough to take over, so in order to keep the job, a temporary replacement measure is taken.

Such positions are usually handled privately, and the tasks assigned to them are insignificant and do not affect the overall situation.

In this case, the people above will turn a blind eye and will not object or stop it. Those who retain their jobs will continue to receive their salaries, and then part of the salaries will be distributed to the substitute workers.

When people who have substitute positions are looking for substitute workers, they often like to find people from rural areas, because rural people do not have commercial grain household registration, and if they want to stay in the city they can only rely on this position, which is easier to control.

In contrast, unemployed people in the city who have commercial grain household registration can easily become regular employees by taking substitute jobs or even stealing jobs, and their salaries are also higher.

But even though the pay is low, many rural people are still keen on this kind of substitute job, because these days any job in the city is better than in the countryside.

Shen Yuxiu also put a lot of effort into finding Chen Aiguo's position. After all, everyone has a few poor relatives these days, and some people prefer to look for their own relatives in the countryside.

Shen Yuxiu didn't want any salary, and only wanted Chen Aiguo to take half of the various bills and daily necessities before she got the position.

The Li family had no shortage of money, but they lacked tickets, because in those days many supplies and rations were rationed based on the number of people.

The distribution of food coupons in this era was based firstly on adults and minors, and secondly on the type of labor.

For example, those who do heavy manual labor can get 54 kilograms per month, but most adults only have a quota of 30 kilograms per month.

This has little to do with rank. Even if Li Lishan and his wife were in school, it would be difficult for them to have extra food rations.

What’s more, there are two people, Chen Aiguo and Niu Niu.

Now that he has this substitute job, even if he gets less food, Li Changhe can give him some national food coupons to make up for it, so he will have no problem in his daily life.

According to Li Changhe's memory, if they hold on for another year, it seems that bargaining prices for grain will appear in the capital next year, and they will be able to buy grain with money, which will make it no problem at all.

After all, what they lack the least is money.

In fact, Li Changhe also thought about whether he could help Chen Aiguo and Niu Niu to change from farmers to non-farmers, but after studying the policies, he found that it was too difficult.

The household registration policy introduced in November 1977 created a natural barrier between urban commercial grain household registration and agricultural household registration.

Compared with other cities, the commercial grain population in the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin has added several more natural barriers.

In his previous life, Li Changhe had seen many protagonists in period novels easily change their agricultural to non-agricultural household registration, and he didn’t think it was a big deal.

But now after actually studying it, he feels that it is all nonsense, especially the household registration in Beijing, Tianjin and Haikou, which is really too difficult.

The new "Household Registration Migration Regulations" issued in 1977 almost blocked all channels for farmers to become non-farmers.

Taking marriage as an example, in the past, the child’s household registration would be transferred with the mother’s household registration. However, the new regulations in 77 clearly stated that in a marriage between a rural hukou and an urban hukou, all children born would be registered as rural hukou.

That is to say, even if Li Xiaojun changes to a commercial grain household registration, her daughter can only have an agricultural household registration and cannot follow her to become an urban household registration. Chen Aiguo can only continue to maintain the attributes of an agricultural household registration and cannot change to an urban household registration.

Unless Chen Aiguo becomes disabled, all his family members die, and he loses the ability to take care of himself and can only rely on Li Xiaojun for care, this is acceptable.

In addition, it was stipulated last year that people with agricultural household registration are not allowed to leave their work force without reason. Once discovered, their household registration transfer qualification will be permanently revoked.

Normally, for someone like Chen Aiguo, he can only get a letter of introduction to send his wife to school. After that, he has to return to the countryside immediately. He cannot come out at will and has to continue working in the countryside.

If he secretly stays in Beijing, not only will he be deported locally, but the GA will immediately cancel his eligibility to change from rural to urban. He will stay in the countryside for the rest of his life and will never have the chance to change his household registration to a city one.

Of course, some people say that you can get a Beijing hukou through employee recruitment, but after studying the conditions, Li Changhe can only say that you think too simply. In this era, employee recruitment gives priority to urban hukou, and rural hukou can also be admitted. One is to have special professional skills, and the other is to have won the title of National Model Worker.

Special professional skills, such as driving, are special professional skills in this era.

Li Changhe can drive, but the problem is, in this era, where can he get a car to teach Chen Aiguo?

Both of these are difficult to achieve, and even if you have skills or model worker honors, you still have to rely on the Beijing residency quota to transfer from rural to non-rural status.

In other words, it is not enough to meet the policy requirements; you still have to wait until there are vacancies.

Today, the national indicator data does not exceed 1.5% of the local non-agricultural population.

There are quotas for rural-to-urban migration in Beijing, but the number is too small, especially this year. College students alone account for a large proportion of the total number, and the number of people who can stay in the city and transfer from rural to urban areas depends on this quota.

The remaining part is distributed to various units, but each unit only has the right to recommend. The final review authority lies with GA. GA has special household registration police officers who will conduct on-site inspections to confirm your actual situation.

Moreover, GA does not review itself, but needs to be jointly approved by multiple departments such as food, labor, personnel, civil affairs, etc. If one link fails, there will be no hope.

It is no wonder that there will be so many divorces in the future in order to return to the city, because it is indeed difficult to return to the city these days, especially in Beijing, Tianjin and Haikou.

However, Li Changhe estimated that the difficulty of this natural barrier would only last for one or two years. After all, with a large number of people returning to the city, this method of locking the channel is simply not advisable.

He also remembered that after the 1980s, the policy of converting farmers into non-agricultural workers seemed to be less strict.

"I will go back after you get married."

Chen Aiguo said in a muffled voice at this time that he did not expect that his mother-in-law Shen Yuxiu would help him arrange a job.

After bringing Li Xiaojun and his family to the courtyard and introducing them to the place, they started cleaning another room.

The other room is as big as Li Changhe's, and it also has a bed, a table and other things. As long as you clean it up, you can just make the bed and move in.

Li Changhe moved the stove from his own room to this room, connected the flue, and helped Li Xiaojun's family clean up.

Then Li Changhe left.

In the blink of an eye, time came to February 1978, 2, and Li Changhe was just a few days away from starting school.

This weekend is a good day to get married, set up the bed, pray for blessings, and seek children.

Early in the morning, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin took the various materials they had prepared and went to Zhongguancun Commune.

During this era, marriage registration was done in the major communes under the G Committee, and there were special marriage registrars in each commune.

But the actual process is not as simple as just going there and registering.

In this era, marriage registration must be jointly reviewed by the marriage registrar and the family planning, Women's Federation, G Youth League and other departments, including the late marriage age.

However, Li Changhe is already considered an older young man in this era, not to mention Zhu Lin, who is definitely marrying late.

The registration for the two went smoothly, except that the marriage certificate was a little different from what Li Changhe had expected in later life, and there was no space to post a photo.

It only had the names and ages of two people written on it, and then the time.

These days, marriage certificates are not unified across the country, and each place has its own unique marriage certificate.

After getting the certificate, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin became legal husband and wife.

Walking out of the commune, Li Changhe looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, then looked at Zhu Lin next to him. Li Changhe seemed to be in a dream at this moment.

Zhu Lin, the famous Queen of the Kingdom of Women in her previous life, finally became his legal wife today.

This feeling is really great!
