Chapter 128 Handling
There were people coming and going on the street, and the four people were walking quickly, which did not affect their conversation as they walked.
"I found that the female staff of Heguo always held their heads high, looked straight at others, and interacted with people in a generous and open manner." Lin Zisu has been interacting with the staff of Heguo for a while. In addition to things that are not in line with this era, the most obvious thing about them is the mental outlook, words and deeds of the female staff. They will not be afraid to look up at people, avoid their eyes, be shy, or be embarrassed just because the person in front of them is a man.
Shen Jingfu said with great approval: "Yes, they are completely different from the women of the Dahuan Dynasty! When I was traveling for business, I never saw so many bold women. The He Kingdom is really amazing! It is different from the Dahuan Dynasty in every way!"
Shen Xianglan: "The books you read are different, the ideas you accept are different, so they are definitely different!"
Shen Anrong: "The streets of Qingshui City are clean and tidy. There are people sweeping the streets. There is no dirt on the ground. There are no beggars, idlers, or hooligans wandering around the streets. Everyone seems to be very busy. Most people are not dressed very well, but they are in good spirits."
Lin Zisu: "Cousin, you observe very carefully!"
Shen Anrong smiled sheepishly and said, "Heguo is so different from where we live that I can't help but see and hear more."
The four of them walked towards their temporary residence while chatting. Lin Zisu saw a very familiar figure in front of her. When she walked over, she saw that it was Li Tiedan talking to a well-dressed middle-aged man.
Li Tiedan happened to have his back to them and did not notice the four people.
Lin Zisu: "What is he doing? Working?"
Shen Xianglan: "If I don't work, what else can I do?"
Lin Zisu: "By the way, I have to remember to talk to Li Daya and ask her to apply for an ID card. Don't register your household registration with the Li family anymore."
Shen Xianglan: "Just explain the pros and cons clearly and let people choose for themselves. That's their life."
Lin Zisu: "I know, but she is very young, how much knowledge and understanding can she have? Then I have to give her some more advice."
Shen Jingfu: "Alas, there are so many pitiful people in the world. But it's a good thing to be able to help. They are really pitiful to see!"
The four of them hurried and were sweating. Lin Zisu: "Can we take a car? We are so tired from walking!"
Shen Xianglan: "How far have we walked? Where should we park the car? We have only just entered the city. Do you know where we can park?"
Lin Zisu: “Just ask!”
Time was short, so the four of them didn't say anything and just took the household registration documents and left. Shen Anrong stayed to accompany his mother and the others, while Shen Xianglan took Old Lady Ye's arm and left.
The four people rushed to the Qingshui government and arrived at the government gate panting. Lin Zisu looked at the time, 4:4. The four people took a breath at the door before walking inside.
When they arrived at the place where they applied for ID cards, Lin Xianwen, Old Man Shen, and Shen Jingcai were sitting together chatting. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the four people come in.
Lin Xianwen: "Mom, it's our turn next. You're finally here."
"I'm so tired from walking. I'm sweating." Lin Zisu felt a little hot and wanted to take off her clothes but was afraid of catching a cold.
Lin Xianwen: "I'll go out and ask if there's a parking space. This city is not small, and I can't walk everywhere if I need to, and I don't have enough time."
Lin Zisu: "Well, that's exactly what I meant."
Shen Xianglan: "It's our turn now. Dad and Mom, you two go first. I'll go with you."
Old Mrs. Ye stood up nervously, "Okay."
Old Man Shen: "Let's go, finish it quickly so that I can go home after work."
Shen Xianglan walked towards the middle-aged woman handing out number plates, "Sister Zhou, can we go in with you?"
Sister Zhou: "Okay, are you a family?"
Shen Xianglan: “We are one family.”
Sister Zhou: "Then you can all go in together and fill out the forms first, so the process will be faster."
"Okay." Shen Xianglan took two steps back and supported Old Lady Ye, "Dad, we can go in together, let's go."
Seven people walked in, and the waiting hall outside was empty. The room was spacious and airy, with bright lights on, and everything could be seen clearly.
There were more than 20 staff members in the room, all young men and women. One of the young women looked at the people who came in and said, "Hello, those who need to apply for ID cards, please sit over here."
There was a row of tables, chairs and benches, with staff sitting behind them. Shen Xianglan helped Old Lady Ye sit down, and Shen Jingfu took out the household registration documents and placed them on the table.
Although the men of the Shen family had not taken the imperial examinations and had no official titles, they were all literate, able to write and calculate. As for the Chinese characters, they could understand them halfway, even by guessing.
Shen Xianglan was responsible for translating for them and teaching them how to fill out the form based on what the staff said.
Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen each sat on the stool next to them, and under the surprised gaze of the staff, they filled in the information as the staff said.
The staff compared their household registration documents and asked them again carefully based on what they had filled out.
Shen Xianglan came over to take another look and told the staff that there was no problem. The staff took the two siblings to the next room to take pictures.
Lin Zisu complained in her heart, this is exactly the mode of applying for ID cards in modern times. She sat upright, the staff combed her hair, tucked her hair behind her ears, and then took a few photos.
After Lin Zisu finished taking the photo, Lin Xianwen sat on it and, following the staff's instructions, straightened his head, and the photo was taken in just a few seconds.
The two of them went out and waited. Finally, the forms of Old Lady Ye and Old Man Shen were filled out. Shen Xianglan took the form and filled it out quickly, causing the staff to look at her a few more times.
The two siblings accompanied Grandma Ye and Grandpa Shen in to take pictures. The two elderly people took turns sitting down to take pictures with confused looks on their faces, and the staff patiently guided them on what to do.
Finally, Shen Xianglan came in to take photos. The whole process took half an hour and all five people had completed their ID card processing.
The staff were all very surprised. They thought they would have to wait at least half an hour before they could get off work.
The staff asked the five people to wait in the waiting hall outside, because they were fast and had half an hour left. They were asked to take the temporary ID cards and go back, so they would not have to go again tomorrow.
Generally, you apply for the ID card in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon, or you pick it up the next day.
Lin Zisu was very excited. Could it be that Sister He had a machine that could make ID cards? That was impossible.
At 18 p.m., the bell rang at Qingshui Government Office. The staff members all had smiles on their faces as they packed up their things and prepared to go home.
The door inside opened, and a young girl came out with five temporary ID cards. She looked at the name on the ID card and read out, "Lin Zisu, come and get a temporary ID card." She looked at the photo on the ID card and looked at Lin Zisu's face. When she found that it matched, she handed it to her.
Lin Zisu looked at the temporary ID card in her hand. It was a light yellow plastic card, about the same size as a modern ID card, and the layout on the card was exactly the same.
On the upper right is a 1-inch photo of Lin Zisu, pasted on paper. Yes, it is pasted on paper. On the upper left is the name, gender, date of birth, and address, but no ethnicity. The bottom row is printed with the temporary citizen ID number.
She turned it over and saw the back of the card, which was a temporary resident ID card issued by the Qingshui City Government and had an expiration date. She looked at the date and calculated that it should be renewed every three months, which means it should be renewed every quarter.
The entire temporary ID card is a piece of paper with personal information printed on it, a personal photo attached, and then sealed in plastic. A plastic card ID card is completed, and the plastic seal is not afraid of getting wet and can be used for a long time.
