Chapter 16
The Patriotic Health Campaign!

In 1952, the Public Security Bureau of Si Jiu City implemented detailed regulations for household registration management, stipulating that all residents in the city, both Chinese and foreigners, must register their household registration, except for military personnel, various armed forces, government offices, military camps, and embassies of various countries!

All citizens residing in this city, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, or profession, must be investigated and registered!

The place where a person frequently resides is where their household registration should be registered. A person can have several temporary household registrations in the city, but only one official household registration!

Originally, there were eighteen types of household registration in Si Jiu City: moving out, moving in, birth, death, disappearance, itinerant, adoption, claiming, hiring, firing, splitting households, merging households, shop opening, closing, changing residence, marriage, divorce, and changes and corrections!

However, the Public Security Bureau later revised the regulations, merging the remaining thirteen types into moving in, moving out, and changes and corrections related items!

Shen Yuan Chao should be considered an adoption household registration under the moving-in category!

Liu Hui Zhen didn't understand the key aspects. She prepared her usual household registration information and planned to take it to the neighborhood committee tomorrow.

She would ask Director Wang to register Shen Yuan Chao first.

With a household registration, Shen Yuan Chao would officially be a member of the Shen family!

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Liu Hui Zhen fed Shen Yuan Chao Red Star milk powder before taking the family's household registration information to register Shen Yuan Chao!

Liu Hui Zhen stepped out of the west courtyard, and the sky was still barely lit.

She saw Yi Zhong Hai and Jia Dong Xu carrying toolboxes, heading out.

Liu Hui Zhen: "First Uncle, so early? Going to work?"

Yi Zhong Hai and Jia Dong Xu looked uncomfortable. They glanced at Sha Zhu's room and then whispered, "Yes."

Then, the two men quickly left the courtyard.

Qin Huairu stood at the entrance of her house, watching Jia Dong Xu leave. Hope filled her eyes.

When Jia Dong Xu came back today, he would be the most promising young man in the courtyard.

She would finally be able to hold her head high in the courtyard!

Qin Huairu glanced at Sha Zhu's room. Seeing that it was still quiet, she assumed Sha Zhu hadn't woken up yet.

In fact, Sha Zhu had left the courtyard early, heading to Feng Ze Garden. His father's senior brother was there, and Sha Zhu had learned some skills there in the past, due to their relationship.

When Sha Zhu left Feng Ze Garden, He Da Qing's senior brother, Tian Da Chu, persuaded him to stay.

But there was no salary at Feng Ze Garden, and Sha Zhu had to support his sister, so he had to give up.

Today he was going to take the chef's ranking exam, so he came early to ask Tian Da Chu to help him polish his culinary skills!

Liu Hui Zhen handed the information to Director Wang.

Director Wang glanced at it: "Alright, I'll go to the household registration office later and help you get it done!"

Liu Hui Zhen: "Director Wang, I wanted to ask, does our neighborhood committee have a place to learn to read?"

"You mean the literacy class?"

Liu Hui Zhen nodded: "Yes, I heard from Aunt Guo that if you know how to read, you might be able to be promoted early. So."

Director Wang smiled: "It's great that you think that way. Our neighborhood committee has a literacy class. It's every night, after dinner, in the building west of the relief station. There are literacy teachers who will teach you.

Hui Zhen, you should study hard. The more you learn, even if you don't get promoted, in the future, when there are suitable job opportunities, you will be prioritized for those who know how to read.

Moreover, you have three children. If you know how to read, you can set an example for them!

The country is now vigorously encouraging literacy. Just in August this year, at the national games, the starting rule for the running race wasn't to listen for the starting gun, but to see who could write more characters first, who could start first!

Look, even soldiers going to war need to learn culture. We now live in a peaceful and happy time, what reason do we have not to learn culture?"

Liu Hui Zhen: "Well, I'll go in the evening. But can I bring the children?"

"Of course, as long as they are quiet and don't make a fuss!"

After agreeing to go to the literacy class, Liu Hui Zhen also received the household registration information.

Liu Hui Zhen then walked into the relief station and rolled up her sleeves to start working.

When Aunt Guo arrived at the relief station, Liu Hui Zhen had already been working for almost an hour. There was a full basin of washed clothes beside her. Not only that, she had also tidied up the relief station courtyard beforehand.

The entire relief station was no longer messy and dirty, but clean and tidy. Even Chef Wang's stove, chopping board, and kitchen knife had been cleaned beforehand by Liu Hui Zhen.

This way, Chef Wang could just focus on cooking and wouldn't have to worry about these chores.

Aunt Guo: "Hui Zhen, you're so capable! These clothes, we usually wash them together. You've already washed most of them!"

Liu Hui Zhen: "Aunt Guo, if you hadn't mentioned the literacy class yesterday, I wouldn't have known about it. I'm young, so it's no big deal to do more work!"

Aunt Guo was delighted.

Chef Wang arrived. Seeing the kitchen clean and tidy, Aunt Guo smiled: "Wang Da Ma Zi, are you stunned by how clean the kitchen is?

Hui Zhen cleaned it all!"

Chef Wang: "Hui Zhen, you're so capable, but the kitchen isn't your job!"

Liu Hui Zhen smiled: "How can we be so particular? We are all masters of the new country. Everyone contributes their share, that's all!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

When Director Wang and the district committee leader walked in, they heard Liu Hui Zhen say this. The district committee leader was happy. He said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, I didn't expect that your neighborhood committee's ideological education work is going so well!

Our new country now needs to revitalize and rebuild. We need good comrades like this, who don't care about personal gain or loss, but dedicate themselves to building a new country!"

Director Wang didn't expect that Liu Hui Zhen would help her out so much. A while ago, due to the incident of the postman's suicide, Director Wang had received a lot of criticism.

But today, thanks to Liu Hui Zhen, she finally saved face. "I still have a lot of work that's not up to standard. We will continue to strive for improvement!"

"Good, very good! This is the latest document from above, requiring a nationwide Patriotic Health Campaign.

Rats, sparrows, flies, and mosquitoes can transmit dangerous diseases and also seriously waste food. Therefore, we need to accelerate the processing of these pests.

Many factories have already started competition activities. I hope your neighborhood committee won't fall behind.

We hope that citizens will develop the habit of killing flies and mosquitoes. When you see flies and mosquitoes, hit them. Any standing water or garbage that breeds flies and mosquitoes should also be cleaned up immediately. This is to prevent epidemic encephalitis and gastrointestinal infectious diseases.

Also, your neighborhood committee should organize a nationwide cleaning activity, making sure that both indoors and outdoors are cleaned thoroughly!

Here are the detailed regulations. You should distribute them immediately!"

Director Wang took the document and started to get busy!

By evening, after finishing her work at the relief station, Liu Hui Zhen rushed home.

As she stepped into the courtyard, she heard everyone in the courtyard talking happily.
