Volume II, Chapter 8
Beiping was designated as the capital of the People's Republic of China, and the city was renamed Beijing. This society has changed, and the way of life of some people will definitely change with it, and everyone in New China has to support themselves with their own hands. Wang Yunqing's hundreds of acres of land in Haidian Phoenix Ridge were distributed to local farmers, and the Wang family had no rich land rent to eat, and they had to live frugally, so the Wang family dismissed most of the servants, and Mrs. Wang and Gui Fang were in charge of the housework, Wang Yunqing was arranged by the government to work as a cultural and historical researcher in a cultural and historical museum, and Wang Shuzhen, Wang Hongxing and others found a job in the society. In Gui Fang's mother's house, Gui Fang's sister Gui Xiang married the veterinarian on the other side of the alley, and the two of them went to Chengde to open a veterinary station, leaving Lao Zhao alone.
At the time when New China was first built and everything was in ruins, the people's government launched measures to support capitalist industry and commerce, and the private business owners, who were afraid of the government's confiscation of property, saw hope for survival and development. Lao Zhao closed his photo studio and wanted to open a printing house, because of various reasons always stumbled and failed, the shrewd Lao Zhao saw hope in the government's support policies, he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, to open a printing house more willingly.
The main reason why Lao Zhao couldn't open a washing factory before was the problem of funds, and now the government can provide some low-interest loans to private business owners, and he has some personal funds, leaving a large gap in funds, and Lao Zhao wants to let his son-in-law out.
Since the eldest daughter Gui Fang married into the Wang family, Gui Fang has changed as if she was a different person, she saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were broad-minded and kind-hearted, regardless of their previous suspicions, compared with her father and her own actions, she felt ashamed, so she was determined to be the virtuous and filial daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and lived a good life in the Wang family. Lao Zhao asked Gui Fang to find a way to get some money from the Wang family several times, but Gui Fang always dragged it absent-mindedly. When Lao Zhao saw Wang Hongxing, he also mentioned that he was in a hurry to find some money, Wang Hongxing also perfunctory him like Gui Fang, Wang Hongxing was a little impatient to be entangled by Lao Zhao, so he truthfully told Lao Zhao that the financial power of the Wang family was in the hands of his mother, and his mother had to discuss with his father what big expenses he had, and he and Gui Fang did not have economic power, and they really couldn't get the funds to help Lao Zhao run a factory. Wang Hongxing's words were frowned upon.
One day, Lao Zhao asked someone to bring a letter to Gui Fang saying that he was sick, Gui Fang hurriedly returned home to visit his father, but as soon as Gui Fang entered the door, he saw Lao Zhao sitting on the Taishi chair and listening to the radio with Erlang's legs crossed! Gui Fang asked strangely: "Dad, aren't you sick?" β
"Gui Fang, Dad has a heart disease, and his heart is not clear!" Lao Zhao saw his daughter coming, sighed, and turned off the radio.
Gui Fang knew his thoughts, so he said, "You are old and sick, and I know it even if you don't say it." β
"Then you can help me cure this heart disease." Lao Zhao showed a pitiful look on his face.
"Dad, it's different now than before, the Wang family's hundreds of acres of land are gone, and now the family is eating the family's money, and even my father-in-law has gone out to work. Don't fight our Wang family's idea in the future! β
Lao Zhao was unhappy when he heard Gui Fang say this, and he pouted: "What's the matter?" Are you the Wang family now? Your surname is Zhao, and you are my daughter! You forgot about Ben just a few days after you got married! β
"We women marry chickens and chickens marry dogs, and when I enter the Wang family, I am the Wang family."
"Then you really spilled the water from the girl who got married? I don't have any relatives around me now, so don't you care about your father? β
Gui Fang saw that his father was sad, so he comforted him and said, "Dad, who said that I don't care about you, no, as soon as I heard that you were sick, I rushed home in a hurry." You can rest assured, your eldest daughter will definitely give you a pension! β
When Lao Zhao heard Gui Fang say this, his face immediately turned cloudy, but he was still embarrassed by the lack of funds to set up a factory. He couldn't stop begging Gui Fang to help him find a way. Gui Fang bitterly persuaded her father not to always be tempted by the Wang family, and forget it if he couldn't open the factory. Lao Zhao told Gui Fang that when he was young, he had an ideal in his heart, that is, to reshape the glory of the family in his own hands, and now that he is old, it will be a lifelong regret not to be able to open a factory. Lao Zhao shed tears as he spoke, and he said to Gui Fang: "Do you think this is for myself? Not exactly, I also want to fight for the honor of our family, and I want to make a name for myself, so that the family respects our Zhao family as much as the Wang family! Let the ancestors of the Zhao family be proud of their descendants! β
After all, Gui Fang has a deep relationship with her father, this time she was really moved by her father's words, she looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said: "You are a stubborn old man, you have made up your mind that nine cows can't be pulled back!" Don't be sad, my daughter will think of a way for you! β
Lao Zhao asked in surprise: "Gui Fang, did you really promise to help Dad?" β
"Dad, I'll give it a try. But I want to ask you, can you really make a lot of money by opening a printing house? β
"No problem! I'm sure I'll make a lot of money, and besides, your father's brain is not comparable to ordinary people, so don't worry about raising money for me! Lao Zhao laughed happily when he said this.
Gui Fang reminded Lao Zhao and said, "Dad, don't be happy too early, I just said to try." Listen to me at home these days. β
Gui Fang said that she wanted to help her father find a way to raise funds, mainly to comfort him. In fact, where to raise money and how to raise money? Gui Fang's heart didn't have an accurate score, because asking her parents-in-law for money was not right or not, and she couldn't open her mouth, and Hongxing and herself couldn't come up with much money.
One night before going to bed, Gui Fang pretended to ask Wang Hongxing casually: "Hongxing, let me ask you, how much did our eldest sister get after divorcing Ma Liangchen?" β
Wang Hongxing said: "Strange! Why did you ask about my sister? β
"What's so strange about that! She is my sister-in-law, and they are all a family, so I can't just ask? β
"Hey! My eldest brother-in-law is a traitor and a spy, and his family property has already been confiscated. My sister didn't have anything except a house in my sister's hands, and my brother-in-law snatched some of her jewelry when she fled, how much money do you think she can have now? Wang Hongxing asked rhetorically.
"I don't believe it, that day I saw my eldest sister wearing a glass jade ring on her hand, and her ring must be worth a lot of money!"
Wang Hongxing was a little unhappy, he said: "You always think that other people's things are good, and the gemstone ring that my mother gave you is a green opal!" β
"I'm not red-eyed! I am your Wang family, the eldest sister will marry another man sooner or later, do you say that our mother will keep the good jewelry for me in the future or give it to the eldest sister? β
Wang Hongxing hugged Gui Fang and said: "The fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, of course it is left to my daughter-in-law!" β
Gui Fang turned a big corner and got to the point, she said to Wang Hongxing: "My dad has to open a printing factory, you also know this, now he has a little savings in his hand, the government can also borrow part of the money at low interest, and now there is still a part of the funding gap, I want to help him." β
"Didn't you tell him that our family can't come up with the money, how can you help him?" Wang Hongxing picked up the conversation.
"Can you listen to me before you interject?" Gui Fang was a little unhappy. She continued: "I have an idea that I don't know if I can do it? Wang Hongxing looked at Gui Fang with wide eyes and didn't speak.
"My dad is doing this favor and the two of us have helped, the Wang family can't get the money, we can take the money from your eldest sister," Wang Hongxing was about to open his mouth, and Gui Fang pressed a finger on his lips. "The eldest sister has been with Ma Liangchen for so many years, and has stayed in Beijing, Nanjing, Beidaihe, and Chengde for many years. Over the years, Ma Liangchen has thrown the rake and hugged the money, and your eldest sister has opened her pockets to hold money, it is impossible for her to have no savings there, I guess she has a lot of private money, but she hides it and does not reveal it. β
Wang Hongxing couldn't help but say when he heard Gui Fang say this: "My eldest sister is rich, that is also her pension money, her life is hard enough, don't beat her idea." β
"Whoever hit her idea, I'm trying to find a way to help her. You're thinking crookedly! Gui Fang glanced at Wang Hongxing.
"Okay, I won't intervene, you go on, I'll see how you help my eldest sister."
"If your eldest sister can come up with some money, let's invest this money in my father's factory to make money, and that money will be alive, and in the future, this money will earn two, two and three, and it will make more and more money in the future, but if she holds the money in her hands, the money will die." Do you think I'm helping my eldest sister? β
"I don't see it, you go on."
"If the eldest sister lends us money, let's give her a high interest, and both parties write a note to prove it. If the eldest sister counts her money as an investment, let's give her shares proportionally, so that she can enjoy share dividends as a shareholder. It's not much better than the little salary she earns when she goes to work all day! Do you think I'm helping my eldest sister? After Gui Fang finished speaking, he tapped Wang Hongxing's head with his finger.
Wang Hongju suddenly realized, "Gui Fang, your brain can really wander, you first took me to the clouds and fog and then took me to the sun, I really obeyed you!" β
"If you don't accept me, you can't do it!" Gui Fang said proudly.
"But I listen to you, let's take a stake in it too?"
"We have the money to participate in the shares, my idea is that we can't be busy in vain, let's get money for my father, he will give us dry shares, and I have to ask him to give you an official like a factory manager and a factory manager!"
"Is this appropriate?"
Gui Fang looked at Wang Hongxing with disdain and said, "What's inappropriate?" When did you get thicker, and when did you get to do great things! My dad doesn't have a son, he runs a factory to earn a faΓ§ade for the Zhao family, this family background is ours sooner or later, he is like a mirror in his heart. He is my father, your father-in-law, and not an outsider, wouldn't it be better for you to start a business with him! Besides, you are working for others now, and you are working hard to earn money for others, so how spirited you should be when you become the director of our own factory in the future. β
Wang Hongxing smiled and said: "But it's also, a son-in-law is half a son!" What's wrong with that. All right! I'm going to be a factory director, and that's a good thing! He happily slapped his thigh hard.
Gui Fang pushed him on the shoulder: "you, don't be happy too early!" I'm just saying, the money hasn't gotten in hand yet! β
"I'm going to my sister."
Gui Fang said: "You have to go to this matter, others can't say it." β
"You can't go, I can't speak, I have to blow this thing up, so you should talk about it."
"Forget it, let's go to the eldest sister together one day."
Wang Hong raised his eyes and rolled his eyes and said, "Let's invite the eldest sister to have a meal outside, saying it at the dinner table is better than saying it at home." As soon as the two of us have good wine and good food at the dinner table, and say a lot of words that make her ears, we can bring the eldest sister's heart to life. Gui Fang, do you say? β
When Wang Hongxing said this, she smiled at what Gui Fang said, she put her arms around Wang Hongxing's neck and said, "My man is getting smarter and smarter!"
Wang Hongxing said: "This is not to learn from you! β
Gui Fang said very proudly: "This is that if there is a wife, there must be a husband, and the wife sings with the husband!" β
Wang Hongxing said with a smile: "Gui Fang, with such a smart and capable daughter-in-law as you in charge of things at home and abroad, I have saved a lot of worry, you are better than me, and my wife and husband will recognize it with me!" β
