181. Explore the wind and buy land

(1) The lotus escapes

On September 16, 1960, Qiu Lianhua gave birth to a daughter named Zhao Dandan. What a miracle! In Zhao Zhibao's life, he will also give birth to a daughter. There are 4 boys in the Zhao family, and what is missing is a girl, Qiu Lianhua likes it, and Zhao Yuanqing and his wife are also very happy!

Xia Lotus was not happy, she was also pregnant, but the agreement stipulated that she couldn't give birth!

Xia Lotus couldn't think of it, so she used the escape method and slipped away quietly, leaving a note for Zhao Zhibao.

The note said:

Chi Po! I'm gone for the time being, don't look for it, I'll come back by myself in a few months, the reason is clear, no matter what, I must give birth to the child, I dare not abide by the original agreement, I think it's not safe to give birth to one, in case something goes wrong with the spring breeze, I have no backer, you can't guarantee me the life of a widow, I'm embarrassed to beg you, you are good, Sister Lotus is also good, but I still have self-esteem, for the sake of insurance, I only have to take the dangerous road, even if you abandon me, I have to continue to walk!

May 15, 1960 Lotus Flower (Signed)

Zhao Zhibao showed the note to Qiu Lianhua and asked: "Lotus!" What about your opinion? ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Everyone is gone, what do you say? If she had said it earlier, it would not have been non-negotiable, and now, she could only go with the flow. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "My wife is right, if he gives birth here, it is also very inappropriate, and there is no way to explain it to the world!" ”

The husband and wife reported the incident to the two old men.

Qian Doudou said: "She is too dissatisfied with the lotus, why don't you want to live a good life?" ”

Zhao Yuanqing said: "She didn't say that she didn't want to live it, this note made it clear that he would come back, he just wanted to have a child, and he was afraid of trouble here, or it would be difficult to explain to the world, so he hid out for the time being." ”

Qian Doudou said: "Zhibao! You still have to be concerned, at least call her parents and explain the situation. ”

Qiu Lianhua said: "Yes! She has nowhere to go, she must go back to Qiyang! Chi Po! Give it a call. ”

Zhao Zhibao called, but Liu Ruyue refused: "I didn't see it!" ”

In view of the current situation, the Zhao family has no way to look for it, in order to hide people's eyes, it is said to the outside world that Xia Hehua went home to take care of his father, because his father was sick, and the matter dragged on like this.

(2) Explore the wind and buy land

1960 was a difficult time for the country, and I didn't even eat, so I could talk about eating well and being full! For Zhao Zhibao and the four Zhao brothers, who have a large mouth, it is really terrible! This is thanks to Qian Long! Qianlong is in the mountains, and there is a lot of food, but it can't all be given to the Zhao family, and the supply of sweet potatoes is still sufficient. The good thing is that Zhao Zhibao is not short of money, and the state can't supply it, so he goes to the black market. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy all kinds of food from the black market. For example, like pork, the market price is 7 cents and 6 cents a catty, and the black market is 10 yuan a catty. If you don't have money, you won't even have the chance to see meat, let alone eat it!

There are people in the countryside who have fled the famine, but there is no food, who has leftovers for you?

There are also people in the city who have gone to the family, and there are people behind the Chinese medicine hall who want to leave, and the news was known to Zhao Zhibao, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle!" I heard you were leaving, where are you going? ”

Uncle Liu's name was Datong, and Liu Datong said, "Where else can I go?" Home. ”

"Where is Uncle's hometown?"

"My hometown is in the countryside of Shaoyang, Hunan."

"Do you want to come back?"

"What are you doing back? The cost of living in the city is high, and there is no serious job, so it is not farming, where can you not plant? ”

"What about your house and land?"

"The land belongs to the real estate company, and the house is built by itself."

"How does the real estate company collect the money?"

"One acre of land, 100 yuan a year."

"Is it rented, not bought?"

"Buy? We can't afford it! It's too expensive to rent again! ”

Zhao Zhibao learned two points: first, the price of renting land; Second, it is Liu Datong who wants to go.

Zhao Zhibao went to his classmate Hu Yuanshan through his father-in-law Qiu Zhimin. After saying hello, Zhao Zhibao got straight to the point and said, "Manager! I came to buy some land, right behind my current house. ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "Is there any idle land at the back of your house?" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Not at the moment, there will be soon." According to my personal inspection, several families are moving out, and I want to know the price of that area. ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "The rental price is 6 yuan per square meter, and the selling price is 60 yuan per square meter. If you buy, you can get a discount of 5%, this is my permission, which is 57 yuan per square meter. Measure because it's a neighbor, your house can be relaxed appropriately, and you will live here, anyway, acquaintances won't let you suffer, you understand? ”

I don't understand this, isn't that a fool?

182. Etiquette arrives on the ground

On Sunday, August 20, 1961, Liu Datong moved out. Zhao Zhibao invited his father-in-law, Qiu Zhimin, to visit Hu Yuanshan. I bought a lot of gifts, cigarettes and alcohol. It's just that there is no food, and the food needs to be planned, and the food stamps are not available.

Hu Yuanshan said: "What are the old classmates polite? ”

Qiu Zhimin said: "I didn't buy this and I gave it away, I can't afford to send it!" ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "It's just a little meaning, it's not a gift!" I'm here to ask the manager to measure the land for me, the tenants have left, and there is nothing left in the field, so it's time to measure. ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "Okay! Tomorrow I will organize someone to measure it! ”

Qiu Zhimin said: "I'll pick you up tomorrow!" ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "No! We had a car and arrived on time at 9. ”

On Monday, August 21, Hu Yuanshan arrived before 9 o'clock, including the driver, a total of three people. Qiu Zhimin arrived more than ten minutes earlier than them, and sat in the back hall to make tea and serve cigarettes.

Hu Yuanshan said: "Don't sit, go and measure!" Quite simply, I have other things to do. ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "Okay! Follow me! ”

Zhao Zhibao took them out of the gate to the left and walked to the back of the medical hall, according to Zhao Zhibao's requirements, to buy 400 square meters, the width is 12 meters (the width of the original house is 12 meters), and the length is (400/12=33.3)? Hu Yuanshan said: "I said, because it depends on your room, so it can be appropriately relaxed, Xiao Shen (Director Shen), how much should you set?" ”

Director Shen said: "The manager wants me to decide, how can I say it?" ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "I'll listen to your opinion today, you can say it!" ”

Director Shen said: "The manager wants me to say, then I will say, the length is set at 34 meters, and the whole number is 12x34 = 408 square meters, what do you say?" Manger! ”

Hu Yuanshan said: "Okay! That's it. Now it's time to mark the stakes. Old schoolmate! This can be regarded as a discount twice, how about you treat! ”

Zhao Zhibao said: "The guest is to be invited, first get this place done, and then go to your place to pay the money and get the book, and then it's not too late to eat!" ”

The marking and piling here is very fast, and it will be set in a few minutes. Then Zhao Zhibao took the money and relevant documents, and went back to the real estate company with them to pay the money for the certificate, which is their business, and it will be done faster. When Zhao Zhibao got the land certificate, he said, "Go!" Thank you all for your hard work, let's eat together! ”

Hu Yuanshan was also polite, and still took Director Shen and the driver to go, of course, he returned full of wine and food!

183. Renovate the back garden

Soon on the line drawn, three walls were built. The fence is two meters high, and a barbed wire fence more than one meter high has been added to it, so ordinary people cannot enter. A door was opened from the kitchen and storeroom, called the T door, which was the same width as the back room. Remove the baffle in the front and back halls (not removed for the time being), and you can go straight to the entrance of the medical hall. Usually T gate, convenient for the Zhao family, can go to the park activities.

On October 1, 1961, the National Day was a holiday, and Zhao Zhibao mobilized the whole family to repair the park. 1. Clean up the weeds and debris in the park; 2. Around the garden, vacate a two-meter-wide green belt and buy trees (contact the Municipal Garden Bureau) to plant them; 3. Pave the garden with stone bricks. Please Liu Lianhe and Hao Ping to help!

It costs a lot of money to spend money to buy trees, a good tree (not a sapling) costs a few hundred yuan, a total of 6 trees were bought, and it cost 1,200 yuan, which was completed with the help of the Municipal Garden Bureau. It cost 200 yuan to match dozens of plates of brocade, which was selected by Qiu Lianhua and Xia Hehua, and it cost nearly 100 yuan to rent a car.

The bricks are completed later, because the stone bricks are inconvenient and unhygienic from the medical tube, according to the suggestion of Engineer Hao, another gate was opened in the park, but a large truck can pass, Hao Gong said that it is not opened now, and it will have to be opened in the future, and it is definitely needed to build a house, so it is the bricks that are opened first and then laid, which cost more than 8,000 yuan, including the door.

Zhao Yuanqing and his family have something to do, in addition to Panjin, weeding, loosening the soil, fertilizing, watering, pruning, etc., they can also plant flowers in the green belt.

The purpose of laying bricks is to facilitate activities, and in the past, Zhao Zhibao boxed in the hall of the room, shrinking his hands and feet, and also affecting others. Now it's okay, I'm moving around in the courtyard, practicing martial arts, letting go of my hands and feet, and the air is much fresher.

Both adults and children can use it in the precincts. The four Zhao brothers and Xiao Coins, as well as Xiao Dandan, are all practicing martial arts, playing games, and playing here. There are more people strolling around the courtyard after dinner, and I used to want to take a walk and there was nowhere to go, but now I can do it in my own yard, which is really beautiful.
