Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 76 Association
The next day, Kang Qirui found a training class for Ayao. It was run by a relative of a teacher in the school's Continuing Education College. It was known as the best adult education training class in Guangzhou. The admission rate has always been above 95%, and more than ten students are admitted to Kang Qirui's school every year. If Ayao studies hard, even if he can't get into Shuangyashan, he shouldn't have any problem getting into other schools.

After dinner that day, the sisters-in-law were clearing away the dishes. The second brother asked happily, "Dear ones, are you all full?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued, "I now solemnly announce to you that I, Kang Qi Zong, have proudly joined the Cantonese Fishing Association. This is my certificate." After the second brother finished speaking, he took out a notebook from his pocket.

"What association?" My father didn't hear clearly.

"Fishing Association, dad." Er Lao repeated. A Zu snatched the notebook from Er Lao's hand, opened it and saw that it was indeed the membership card of the Cantonese Fishing Association. He also handed it to Kang Qirui to see.

Kang Qirui didn't answer and said with a smile: "Second brother, why have I never seen you fishing? Can I join the club without fishing?"

"A Zong, from now on, you will be the one to take care of all the fish our family wants to eat." The eldest brother Guang said to the second brother.

"You weren't even born when I was fishing, you poor bastard." The second brother retorted to Kang Qirui, and then said to the eldest brother Guang: "All you know how to do is eat all day long. Fishing is a form of entertainment and sport. How can you be stained with the smell of stinky fish?"

Big Brother Guang was not convinced and said, "I don't believe that the people in your fishing association won't eat the fish they catch. Put them all back into the fish pond."

"No, I heard that fishing rod is worth hundreds or thousands." A Zu said doubtfully: "Second brother, are you going for that fishing rod? If so, recruit me to join the gang." A Zu also wanted to get a fishing rod for free.

The second brother said with disdain: "What a mercenary! I bought that fishing rod with my own money."

"Second brother, you are stupid, they don't have anything to give?" A Yao said excitedly: "Think about it, a fishing rod is equivalent to a weapon in the hands of a soldier. Have you ever seen a soldier go to the battlefield with a weapon by himself?"

"Hahaha, that's right." Everyone agreed with what A Yao said.

"Retarded." The second brother shook his head.

Big Brother Guang laughed and said, "What's so great about it? It's just an association. Anyone can get in."

"Yes, yes, come in and let me see?" the second brother said angrily.

"You don't believe it, right? I'll bring back a form tomorrow and join the bonsai association." Big Boss Guang was also interested, but the association he joined was a little strange.

At this time, several sisters-in-law came out to join the chat after washing the dishes. The second sister-in-law sat down with a teacup and said, "Actually, I have joined the association too."

"You've joined the association too? What association? How come I didn't know about it?" Er Lao originally thought that he was the only one who joined the association and wanted to show off, but not only did it not achieve the desired effect, but there were actually other people who joined the association?
"He entered last month and screamed." The second sister-in-law thought for a while before remembering, "The Anti-Domestic Violence Association means that if anyone beats or scolds his wife in the future, I have the right to intervene. Third uncle and youngest uncle, you guys should be careful."

Kang Qirui also followed his second sister-in-law's words and joked, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the two of us. You'd better be careful of the second brother's violence against you, hahahaha."

"I abused her? It's more like she abused me." The second brother rolled his eyes at Kang Qirui.

"By the way, I've also joined the street greening association." The old lady was also knitting a sweater today and joined in the chat.

Sachiko: "I also recently joined the clothing industry association." Sachiko has officially started working at Guangzhou Metersbonwe Company, so naturally someone pulled her into this kind of industry association.

Zhu Wanling: "I joined the Nurses Association a long time ago." Zhu Wanling also joined an industry association.

"After counting, now only dad and Rui are left in the family who haven't joined the club." Big Brother Guang suddenly sighed.

"Haha, I just heard what you said and realized that our family has so many members. As the head of the family, how can I fall behind? I also joined the club." Seeing that he was being cueed, the old man boasted: "But my club is not like yours. I am an official."

"We have now established an Association of Senior Accountants, and everyone unanimously recommended me to be the deputy secretary-general."

Wow, everyone exclaimed. I didn't expect that my father was holding back such a big one.

"Dad, you are the deputy secretary-general, isn't that a higher position than A Yao's deputy section chief? It seems that our Kang family's fortune has turned." A Zu was very sensible and immediately started to flatter Dad.

"There's a saying that goes, if a secretary doesn't have a long name, his farts won't make any noise." The boss said jokingly. "Dad, please fart more loudly."

The old man glared at the boss angrily, and then asked Kang Qirui: "A Rui, what about you? Have you joined any association?"

"Ah? Me?" Kang Qirui didn't expect his father to ask him. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Does the Alumni Association count?" His father was relieved when he heard Kang Qirui's answer. The whole family are members, and he is the leader. Hehe, the head of the family is strong.

In fact, Kang Qirui has joined quite a few associations recently, including the National Ci Society, the Modern Literature Society, the Chinese Poetry Teaching Society, the Guangdong Ancient Literature Research Society, and the Guangdong Ancient Literary Theory Research Society. However, he felt that there was no need to say it. No one would understand it if he said it, so it is better to keep a low profile. Within two days, the news that Lao Dou was the deputy secretary-general spread throughout Changsheng Street. People who didn’t know thought he was a high-ranking official. A grocery store owner named Li Desheng came to the house and asked Lao Dou to help write a sign. He also said he would give 500 yuan, but the old lady refused to let Lao Dou take the money. The eldest sister-in-law had just sent Li Desheng away when she met the second brother coming back, and said, "Someone just gave mom 500 yuan, and mom didn't take it."

"I know, I saw that person just now." The second brother said mysteriously: "It doesn't matter, if mom doesn't accept him, someone else will."

"Ah? Who received it?" Xianglan asked in surprise.

"I accepted it." The second brother showed the red envelope in his shirt pocket.

Xianglan was really shocked by Er Lao's action this time: "You accepted it?"

"What are you two talking about here? What are you collecting?" Kang Qirui also returned home at this time, and asked in confusion when he saw Xianglan and Erlao at the door. Xianglan told Kang Qirui what happened.

Kang Qirui was also stunned by Er Lao's actions. He shook his head and smiled, "No, Er Lao, you're going to take this money too?"

"I am just collecting it temporarily. When I have collected almost all the money, I will return it to my mother." The second brother said this, but could he spit out the money that had gone into his pocket? Kang Qirui was speechless. As the deputy secretary-general of a private association, he still received red envelopes?

The eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes, then picked up the phone and called the eldest brother. She was not concerned about the money, and she did not dare to accept it. She was concerned about her household registration, as she was still a rural resident in southern Henan.

After returning, Da Laoguang discussed with his sister-in-law in the room for a while before coming out and saying to his father who was watching TV, "Dad, Xianglan and I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" asked the old man.

The boss was too embarrassed to say anything, so he pushed Xianglan to the front and asked her to speak. Xianglan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Dad, you are the leader now. You have to take my business to heart."

"What's the matter?" The old man's tone was already a little impatient.

The big boss then said shyly: "It's just about Xianglan's household registration."

When she heard that it was about her daughter-in-law's household registration, the old maid beside her also advised: "Uncle, you are a leader now, so you should say a few words for her. Xianglan has been married for so long, the household registration issue must be resolved."

"Do you think the police station is in charge of household registration?" Old Dou knows his own business. How could he, a former deputy secretary-general of the Accountants Association, have such great ability?
"With your current status, it's better for you to say something than nothing." The old woman directly roasted my father. My father had no choice but to say that he would go to the neighborhood committee to ask.

Xianglan was so happy that she waited at the door for her father to come back. After a long time, her father finally came back from the neighborhood committee. Xianglan immediately asked Da Laoguang to come out of the room. When Da Laoguang saw her father, he asked, "Dad, is there any news?"

Lao Dou smiled and said, "The director is not here. I have already informed the people below." Just now when Lao Dou went to the neighborhood committee, the director happened to be out. Lao Dou felt relieved at this time, so as to avoid the embarrassment of asking for help but failing to get things done.

"That means it's not possible." Big Brother Guang said helplessly.

"We'll think of another way." The old man said perfunctorily and went back to his room.

As soon as Lao Dou entered the room, a voice came from outside the door: "Is Chang Xianglan at home?" The boss went out as soon as he heard the voice, and then after a while he shouted excitedly outside, "Xianglan, come out for a moment."

Seeing this, Kang Qirui followed Xianglan to the door, and he could help her with anything. As soon as the person outside the door saw Xianglan, he asked, "Are you Chang Xianglan?"

"I am." Xianglan nodded quickly.

"I'm from the neighborhood committee. You moved your household registration from southern Henan to Guangzhou. Now there is a new policy and you can move in." The neighborhood committee member took out a form and handed it to Xianglan, saying, "I'll give you a form now. Fill it out and hand it to the neighborhood committee tomorrow. I'll leave first."

At this time, my father, who heard the sound, came to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xianglan said excitedly: "Dad, thank you so much. Once you take action, everything is settled."

"Ah? Oh!" The old man became proud and said with a smile: "I just gave a call and they sent someone here right away. They are quite capable."

In fact, Kang Qirui knew that there was a new policy this year, which allowed people to apply for household registration by relying on their spouse. As long as the spouse has a resident registration in the city, has a legal residence in the city, and the couple has been married for at least one year, they can apply for household registration by relying on their spouse. Xianglan caught up with it, and it actually had nothing to do with Lao Dou, but Kang Qirui didn't expose Lao Dou, so he let Lao Dou brag a little.
