Chapter 127 ID card
Bright lights were on in the house, and staff in uniform and people in various costumes were busy in the hall.
Lin Zisu glanced at her grandfather, who was still asking questions, and then asked, "Where can we get this information? I see that there are a lot of people coming and going in Qingshui City, and there must be a lot of people who need to settle down in the country, right?"
Tang Xiaotian: "There is an information square in the city with many vertical signs. The staff will post new news there. You can go to the information square often to check it out. You can also come to the information center and ask the staff here. Sometimes there will be staff from the publicity department who will make rounds and broadcast to inform everyone."
Shen Xianglan: "Oh...I see."
Tang Xiaotian: "You just arrived and don't know that you need to show your ID card for many things in the country, such as renting a house and going to work. If you have time, you can take your household registration documents and go to get a temporary ID card. You need to pay for the ID card yourself, 25 or 50 yuan per card."
Lin Xianwen was surprised and asked, "Do you have to work as a laborer? What about those who just came and work part-time?"
Tang Xiaotian: "It is best for part-time and temporary workers to have ID cards, but they can still work without them."
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. They should be able to make some money today. With something to do and money in their pockets, they would feel more at ease.
Lin Zisu lowered her head and lifted her sleeves a little, looking at the watch on her hand. It was a little after 15 p.m. "Are there many people applying for ID cards?"
Tang Xiaotian: "There are quite a lot of people, and we need to line up. We start work at 8 am and get off work at 12 pm. We start work at 14 pm and get off work at 18 pm. Have you learned this about the 24-hour system? Do you understand it?"
The three of them nodded. Lin Zisu said, "I understand. I learned it today."
Tang Xiaotian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she understood, it was good. Using 12 hours to describe the working hours was not accurate enough.
Shen Xianglan: "Where is the place to apply for an ID card?"
Tang Xiaotian: "I'll take you there. It doesn't matter if you can't get it done today. Let's get to know the way first. The ID card processing staff take turns to rest. You can come to apply for ID cards from Monday to Sunday. ID cards are not processed on holidays. Only the staff on duty are in the government. Other staff will take holidays for the holidays."
The three nodded and followed her, walking straight through the hall, through a door, and into a smaller hall. This hall was also very large, with rows of long wooden benches, on which more than a dozen people sat.
There are small tables and benches at the door, and an elderly woman is handing out wooden signs with numbers written on them. People who want to apply for ID cards take the signs and sit on the benches to wait. When the last person has applied for an ID card, the number will be called, and you can go to apply for an ID card with the number called.
Tang Xiaotian: "Did you bring your household registration documents?"
Lin Xianwen: "I didn't bring it. Then can someone who doesn't have household registration documents do it?"
Tang Xiaotian: "Yes, many people don't have household registration, so temporary ID cards and resident ID cards can be applied for. Sister He said that coming to Heguo is like a new life, a fresh start in life. Having the original household registration will only make it easier and faster to apply for and register an ID card."
"Who is Sister He? In that case, you can fill in your name and age whatever you want?" Lin Zisu asked with eyes wide open in surprise.
Tang Xiaotian smiled when she mentioned Sister He. "Sister He is the chairman of the country! The chairman is not the emperor, but the leader of the country! Don't get it wrong, Sister He said!"
The three of them twitched their lips, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Tang Xiaotian thought the three of them were not used to this name. "I was not used to it when I first heard it, but I got used to it after a while."
Lin Zisu suppressed her laughter and responded, "Yeah."
Tang Xiaotian: "Do you have a household registration? If you have a household registration, it only costs 25 yuan to apply for an ID card, and 50 yuan if you don't have a household registration. The price of applying for a temporary ID card is the same as that of a resident ID card, but the price is different for those with and without a household registration."
Shen Xianglan: "We have some, and there are so many people queuing up, let's come back tomorrow."
Lin Zisu estimated the time and said, "I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. Brother, you wait here with the wooden sign. Mom and I will go get the household registration."
Tang Xiaotian looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Sister Zhou, do you have any more brands?"
Sister Zhou: "There are still 5 plates left. Do the three of you want to apply? Come and get your number plates quickly."
Lin Zisu: “Here I come.”
Tang Xiaotian: "Sister Zhou, aren't there many people applying for ID cards today?"
Sister Zhou: "It's OK, better than before, there are no number plates left."
Lin Zisu looked at the three plates she handed over and said, "We want all five number plates. We have a lot of people."
Sister Zhou looked at her and said, "Okay, when you're done with your ID card, return your number plate to me when you come out."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Zisu handed the number plate to her brother, "Wait here, we'll go get the household registration."
"Okay, come quickly!" Lin Xianwen held his number tag and found an empty seat to sit down.
Tang Xiaotian walked back with the mother and daughter.
Shen Xianglan: "Ms. Tang, is there a limit on the number of number plates you can get each day?"
Tang Xiaotian: "Yes, it's mainly to prevent people from waiting in vain. The number of staff members is fixed every day, mainly because there is only one machine, and adding more staff can only help fill in the information."
Lin Zisu: "What machine?"
Tang Xiaotian smiled at the two of them and said, "You will know in a moment."
The Shen family came towards them, and Lin Zisu shouted, "Grandpa, uncle, are you going to apply for ID cards?"
Old Man Shen was surprised and asked, "Yeah, you've finished it?"
Lin Zisu smiled and said, "Don't go, there are no more spots left for today."
The young man looked at Tang Xiaotian and asked, "Is the quota full?"
Tang Xiao Dessert.
He turned to the Shen family and said, "Today's quota is full, but it doesn't matter. Except for holidays, you can come to apply from Monday to Sunday. Don't worry. The number of people who apply for ID cards is limited every day because we can't handle it all. The purpose of issuing number plates is to prevent people from waiting in vain."
The Shen family nodded in understanding.
Shen Xianglan glanced at her daughter, and Lin Zisu smiled and said, "Grandpa, I still have two places here, can you do it?"
Old Man Shen looked at her with amusement, "You are very naughty, kid."
Shen Xianglan: "Dad, you and mom should apply for ID cards first. It's rare for you two old people to queue up. The others can come tomorrow. There's no rush. There's still a month."
Shen Jingcai nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, there are still places available today, you and Mom can go first!"
Shen Jingfu: "There are too many people who need to apply. You and mother should avoid crowding. I will go back and bring the household registration documents. You and the second brother should wait first."
Shen Xianglan: "Xianwen is sitting inside with a number plate. You guys go in and sit down too. We'll be there in a while."
Old Man Shen: "Okay, be careful."
Lin Zisu, Shen Xianglan, Shen Jingfu, Shen Anrong and two staff members walked back.
Tang Xiaotian: "If you have any questions, you can come to the consultation office to ask."
The young man smiled and said, "You are welcome to come again next time."
Lin Zisu: "Okay, thank you."
The four of them walked out quickly. It took them more than half an hour to walk back and forth, and that was even though they walked fast.
