The first target plane, the Yanhuang Continent, Beijing.
Although the high-level government officials of the Red Party border regions and personages of democratic parties, as well as some well-known personalities who participated in the administration and discussion of state affairs, they must have been extremely busy with major and minor matters before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. But for ordinary people, as well as celebrities who have little power in their hands, or some scholar-level officials belonging to the Qingshui Yamen, the busyness of the founding of the country is far away from them. At this time, they are more busy with their lives, work and careers.
"Boss, hurry up!" A urging voice came from a four-story house in Beijing New Town. Peng Lin is a female worker at the newly established Lao Meihua Garment Factory in Beijing. With her outstanding "female red" skills, she became the leader of Lao Meihua's garment team, she is smart and can quickly turn the clothes on the design drawings into "sample clothes" through her dexterous hands, and then according to the actual sample clothes, assist the designer to find out the shortcomings of the design and correct them. When the "sample clothes" are finalized, she has to consider the average craftsmanship level of the workers in the garment factory, and discover the difficulties and error-prone points of new clothes and new products in advance, so as to reduce the scrap rate (the factory itself will have a scrap rate assessment performance), so her income is about twice that of ordinary workers, about 60 yuan per month. Coupled with her husband's income, the family's monthly income can roughly reach 100 yuan in meritorious coins, which is already in the middle of the ordinary people in Beijing.
Since the house is allocated for free, only 1 yuan of meritorious coin is required to pay the rent of public housing every month, plus the basic living facilities in the house are complete, when they first got the house, their family of five (3 children) was very excited to run around the house, and did not sleep all night. The next day, 5 people with 5 pairs of dark circles under their eyes looked at each other and smiled, and continued to be happily busy. Today is the weekend, Peng Lin and her husband Fang Ping are ready to take their elated children to the newly opened "Jiamei" electrical appliance city to purchase. Listen to the neighbors in the building, there are a lot of new electrical appliances in the electrical city that have never been seen before, there are double-door refrigerators (mechanical, without LCD panels and other functional accessories), washing machines (mechanical), electric water heaters, floor-standing electric fans, etc., dazzling, dizzying, in addition to the price is not cheap, adding a whole house roughly requires 200 merit coins, there is really nothing to complain about.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Husband Fang Ping replied and walked out of the house. I saw that he was wearing a brand-new tunic today, and under his feet were a pair of polished shiny black leather shoes.
"Wow, Dad is so handsome~~" The three children standing in the living room shouted.
"You rabbits, don't you have itchy skin?" Seeing being teased by the little ones, Fang Ping felt a fever on his face, and his face was a little uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright!" Peng Lin didn't speak, she circled around Fang Ping twice, nodding her head as she went, she was very satisfied with the effect of the dress she picked for her husband.
"Actually, I'll just go out in my work clothes." Fang Ping, who felt a little unaccustomed and uncomfortable, muttered in a low voice.
"Why don't you come and see how many people are wearing unclean overalls on the street outside? Doesn't the new government now also promote civility and politeness? Encourage and support everyone, wear clean clothes on the street, you don't know the good or bad, there were no conditions before, the family made do with a patch in the east and a patch in the west, and now he finally turned over to be a 'master', and he looked down on himself. Peng Lin shook her head and persuaded.
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, what you learned in the factory, let's go!"
"It's called 'progress,' you know?" Peng Lin grinned and said, "Children, let's go!" ”
"Wow~~~" The three and a half dolls, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately ran out of the house like the wind and ran downstairs.
In the old city of Beijing, a courtyard in Forty Hutong.
Although after the Yanhuanghong Party conquered and took over Beijing, although through house-to-house registration and investigation, a lot of various courtyard houses that were forcibly occupied by Japanese robbers, traitors, bullies, traitorous businessmen, etc. in the early years were confiscated, but due to the characteristics of the Republic of China and the overseas reputation of some celebrities during the Republic of China, some courtyard houses were not robbed in the years of the fall, and they have been used by those celebrities or celebrities. Through various investigations, no evidence has been found that these people were used to steal at the beginning. Therefore, when the Red Party functionaries asked their superiors how to deal with these celebrities in the old city of Beijing, they received a reply that they should maintain the status quo.
Kang Tongbi, Kang Youwei's favorite daughter, their courtyard belongs to this situation. The whole courtyard house was designed by her husband, and the style is outside, middle and western. The so-called outer middle school refers to the Chinese-style brick and wood building, the pink wall and tile, and the courtyard pattern. Entering the gate, there is a firewood made of logs, tree trunks and branches, which is rough and clumsy, and looks very primitive and casual. But when I looked closely, I found that it was inadvertent, but it was actually very inadvertent. The grounds are planted with grass and trees that are not artificially decorated. After crossing the firewood gate and entering the main gate, there is a zigzag stone road. The color of the slate is like an inkstone, and the foot pedal is cool and slippery. All this makes people feel like they are in the countryside, but they are all culturally influenced and refined and elegant in the style of literati and doctors. The so-called Nesi refers to the use and furnishing of the room. As soon as you enter, you will find a small reception room: a high-back fabric sofa with embroidered cushions and a floor paved with diamond-shaped tiles. The living room is large with red floors. It is divided into three spaces according to the use function, one side is used for eating, the other side is used for meeting guests, and the other corner is placed with a bookcase and a writing desk for reading, painting, and writing.
The main thing in the living room is the beautiful English fireplace with matching fire, as well as the brass lamp, ashtray and candlestick. Connected to the living room is the bedroom of Kang's mother and daughter: white walls, white furniture, white curtains, spotless. If it weren't for the light blue and light pink bedding of the mother and daughter, it would have been a little chilling. Attached to the bathroom was a room filled with books and countless pieces of furniture. The room was so big that it seemed like there was no end in sight. It is very particular about a real eight-screen carved floor partition door in the sky, the wood is of high quality, the carving is first-class, it creates a gorgeous atmosphere for this hall, this place is actually used for dancing and cocktail parties. The glass partition in the middle is alive and can move. The location of the movement depends on the number of visitors.
For Kang Tongbi's mother and daughter, the early livelihood was to rely on the rent obtained from renting out part of the house and the family wealth left by their ancestors. After the Yanhuang Red Party recovered Beijing, because of the large-scale relocation of the residents in the old city, what remained here at this time was mostly the families who had land and family property in the early years, and the ancestors were blessed with thick shade, so the income from rent was basically cut off. Just sitting and eating empty mountains also makes them feel somewhat unsteady. But soon, the staff of the Yanhuanghong Party knocked on the door and chatted with Kang Tongbi's mother and daughter for about an hour, and then signed a work contract with their satisfaction.
Because of Wang Fan's insistence, there is no reason in the new government for the descendants of celebrities to register their names in any department such as the Museum of Culture and History, and receive a salary that is not expensive or enough to maintain their original living standards, that is to say, it is not allowed to "get something for nothing"!
"As long as everyone has the ability to work, they can't get something for nothing!"
"Most of these people have been well-off since they were young and have lived a wealthy life, so they have received a complete enlightenment education like a private school in Yanhuang. It cannot be said that because they were like this earlier, they must always be like this. Labor creates wealth, and Xinyanhuang does not raise idlers! ”
"They (she) have a very high level of literacy and artistic skills, many of them are proficient in painting, calligraphy, seal carving, history, etc., the quality of the people of Yan and Huang need their help and play their own role."
According to Wang Fan's suggestion, various art social organizations can be established in Beijing, but it must be made clear that these art organizations are not to satisfy the self-entertainment and self-appreciation of certain small circles, but to "be grounded" and "promote people's livelihood" in a planned way. Since they are all "everyone" in terms of artistic level and standard, they may not be able to teach ordinary people who do not know anything and have no artistic skills at all. Then we can be flexible and gather young students with artistic foundations in Beijing and even the whole country to study under them. In about three years, these students will return to all parts of the country to begin artistic enlightenment in their respective regions, teach ordinary children how to paint and write beautiful calligraphy, teach basic knowledge of Yanhuang cultural relics and history and culture, and inherit and carry forward the essence of Yanhuang's ancient civilization in subtle and personal interests. As a result, a stepped domestic cultural inheritance system of Yanhuang can be formed. Of course, as long as these people like to gather and have dinner parties and pay attention to their own quality of life, as long as they do not embezzle, rely on legal property to maintain their (solid family background), and do not cause negative impact on society, the Yanhuanghong Party government does not care.
And began to be widely publicized at the social level, the so-called aristocratic and wealthy families at home and abroad, not to refer to the rich young master and little princess who do not care about their own things in life, but only let go of money from the family to spend money, but refers to the strict education and training since childhood, know how to behave in the world, have the necessary social character and survival ability, the focus is to develop elegant manners, pure quality, a steady and thoughtful intelligence to deal with daily affairs, and the demeanor derived from it, both in one, And by giving examples of the resumes of the children of celebrities at home and abroad, such as being able to cook, make snacks, know how to plant, understand medicinal herbs, know history, know the world, etc., as an argument, in order to reduce the traditional concepts of the Yanhuang people such as "can't let children endure hardships and can't lose at the starting line".
This plan was impossible in the era of scarcity of materials in the main plane, when people could swing their fists at each other for one tael of oil, two taels of sesame paste, three taels of melon seeds, and half a catty of peanuts; In order to eat one more bite of food and fight for one more piece of meat, brothers can fight, sisters quarrel, husband and wife turn against each other, and father and son turn against each other. The quality of the so-called aristocracy also needs a most basic material foundation to maintain. In the history of the main plane, from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of the New Culture Movement, many celebrities in Yanhuang China, relying on the income of foreign relatives and friends, could buy them in the overseas Chinese remittance stores on Wangfujing Street. Later, when the remittances were cut off and the family was gone, they no longer paid attention to the edge of their clothing, but ran around and toiled three meals a day.
The old city of Beijing, Shichahai.
Here according to Wang Fan's Di'anmen mansion is not far away, through Di'anmen, turn west into Qianhai West Street, and bypass the silver ingot bridge, which is Houhai. At this time, in the early spring, the trees begin to turn green, and the rippling lake shines in the sun, just like a park without admission fees.
Zhang Boju's home is here, and it is also a house, but the area is not large, and it is not a courtyard house with a medium distance, nor is it a small western-style house. The small courtyard is quite high, and the north side faces south. The entrance is a small patio, and there is a gatehouse at the east end. Turn to the right, and there is a row of four ridged north rooms, and a side building on the west side. At the south end, a stone table and two stone piers stand against the wall. In the east wall, a moonlit door was dug, and a small attic was erected in the door, which was high up, and the attic was connected with the main house to the north by stone steps. In the yard, there are several peach trees and a large plantain. It seems that the layout of the whole house is completely set by the owner according to his needs and tastes.
After the Red Party recovered Beijing, it specially hired Zhang Boju, who had returned to Beijing from the northwest, as the deputy director of the Central Museum of Culture and History, and hired him as a semi-official and semi-folk poetry society, calligraphy society, painting academy, Peking Opera Company, Kunqu Opera Society, cultural relics society, and cultural and historical materials committee. However, although he is busy, Zhang Boju feels that life is very fulfilling.
Today is the day they go to the museum to see the exhibition, because the Yanhuang Border District Government in Beijing New Town, according to the plan to build a lot of exhibition halls, art galleries, museums, etc., and regularly (every ten days, so the first target plane to engage in exhibition halls and other work is very hard, only people who really like it will be happy) to change the exhibits, including domestic historical relics, celebrity calligraphy and painting, antiques, to foreign Europe, Tsarist era oil paintings authentic, art carvings, etc., and even said to have been taken back from the Japanese Emperor Tang and Song Dynasty masterpieces, Therefore, for Zhang Boju, it is necessary to go to exhibition halls and art museums three times a month, and he is busy, fulfilling, and lucky to be able to live in Beijing.
Inside the exhibition hall.
Looking at one exhibit after another, as well as the weaving flow of visitors and the puzzled or appreciative eyes of each visitor, Zhang Boju suddenly said to Pan Su: "I have decided, I want to donate the "Hand Reply", "You Chun Tu", "Sanxi Tang Post", "Balcony Post", and "Shu Official Prostitute Map" to the country."
