Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 81
“The village chief has something to do with you?”
Jiahui was holding a vegetable basket in her hand. The vegetable basket was filled with fresh water chestnut. Zhao Donglin took the vegetable basket from Jiahui and the two went into the yard together.
“Asked me about the land reform, I told him about the Xiaogang Village, and he asked me to go to the commune to report the situation to Director Zhong in two days.”
Zhao Donglin studied economics, and land reform also belongs to the category of economic reforms. Participating in it is an important practical experience for him.
Before the holiday, the professor assigned homework to allow them to think about and observe the current national conditions and the trend of economic development under the policy. Zhao Donglin planned to list the subject as land reform.
Jiahui did not express any opinion on this matter. As a traveler in the 21st century, she knows that land reform is the trend of social development, and it will not be long before this system will be implemented in rural areas across the country.
“I thought about something last time and forgot to mention it to you. How about letting the eldest sister and brother-in-law go to the county to do business together? Open a small restaurant near the school, as long as the food is delicious, there is no need to worry about business. I Last time I went to Meixiang School to see the surrounding environment. The neighborhood is full of residential areas, with plenty of people, which is very suitable for business.”
Anyone who has lived in cities knows that restaurants near schools and hospitals are the most suitable businesses. This is also the industry with the lowest investment cost and the highest rate of return. As long as you have a little craftsmanship, you can make money.
It sells breakfast in the morning, as well as lunch and dinner, and snacks and lo-mei on the whole. The business is absolutely booming.
In this age where gold is everywhere and money can be made with one’s hand, relying on farming for a living will never be the first to become rich.
Zhao Caixia and Li Wangping are both loyal, kind-hearted, industrious and simple tempered. Such a person gives them an opportunity and will definitely seize the opportunity well.
Jiahui’s proposal made Zhao Donglinton’s eyes light up, and he looked at Jiahui with scorching eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
“Daughter-in-law, you are so smart, I didn’t even think about it!”
He hugged Jiahui and gave her a strong scent on her cheek.
Seeing him so happy, Jiahui said funnyly, “You only know now, and don’t want to think about who I am.”
She is the prophet of this era. After speaking, Jiahui remembered her family. Although a few brothers had a good time, the great ship of the era had already set sail. How could she leave her family behind.
Zhao Donglin ate lunch and rode to the eldest sister’s house. When Zhao Caixia and the others were still eating, there was a pot of cabbage, a pot of eggplant, and a bowl of noodle sauce on the table. There was no fish, no meat, and even an egg. No.
Thinking that the eldest sister is pregnant and there are two children in the family, how can such a meal be nutritious?
Zhao Donglin was a little sad, Zhao Caixia was shocked when she saw her brother coming, “Donglin, what are you doing here? Have you had lunch?”
Li Wangping held a stool to Zhao Donglin and asked him to sit.
“I have eaten, sister, don’t be busy, I just came to you to talk to brother-in-law.”
Zhao Donglin waved his hands and sat down.
“What’s the matter?”
In such a hurry, both of them thought something serious had happened.
“I’m just here to ask you if you are willing to go to the county town to do business and not do big business. Just open a small restaurant and have cooking skills.”
Zhao Caixia and her husband Li Wang looked at each other, both of them were a little dazed. The fact that they went to open a restaurant in the county town was not in their knowledge, and they had never thought about it.
“Then… how to do business, we haven’t done it before and don’t understand.”
Apart from farming and raising chickens and ducks in this life, I have also raised a few pigs. I really don’t understand anything.
“If you are willing, we will be at home before school starts to help you get things done.”
As for the unwillingness to say, Zhao Donglin really didn’t think about it. Before, I thought it would be a success if my sister and brother-in-law do business. I saw this meal today and felt that we still have to make changes, even if they are unwilling, they must try their best to persuade them them.
People have an instinctive fear of the unknown, but Zhao Caixia has always been very convinced by this younger brother. Donglin has been upright since she was a child. It is Donglin’s credit that the family can live so well. Now the family is in the provincial capital, and it is her eldest sister. The most unsatisfactory ever was, Dong Lin obviously wanted Laba herself as an older sister, and she couldn’t help her brother’s kindness.
Zhao Caixia’s hand touched her belly unconsciously, and the child in her belly kicked her telepathically, and her heart became firm in an instant.
“Yes, although I can’t do business with your brother-in-law, we are not lazy and can learn. For the sake of a few children, we can’t be parents.”
She was holding the bowl and watched her uncle talk to her parents. She was very happy when she heard her mother promised her uncle to go to the county to do business.
“That’s the truth. In fact, doing business is not as difficult as you think. As long as you make sure that the food is delicious, you will naturally come to your door.”
Zhao Donglin said that Zhao Caixia was also worried. Her cooking skills were mediocre, just like her mother, she could barely eat it, and it was delicious.
“Don’t worry about this, Jiahui said, she is responsible for training you how to cook.”
Now that the matter was settled, Zhao Caixia went back to her family’s home the next day, and Jiahui taught her a few signs to take out.
“Noodles must be made. This is the easiest one, and you can make this for three meals a day. Fried rice and fried noodles are also easy to learn. The ingredients are ready to be fried. I will teach you to cook tea eggs and various snacks. At the beginning, we made a lot of money in the provincial capital by relying on these skills.”
Zhao Caixia was extremely envious when she watched the movement of Jiahui’s hands.
“In the past, Meixiang always praised you for cooking. I didn’t expect it to be so good. If I had half of you, I wouldn’t have to worry about this business.”
“You have to study hard, sister, I will be contracted for food at school in the future.”
“Okay, I have contracted your meals, but you have time to help me work. I’m afraid I just went there and I will be too busy.”
“That’s for sure, not only do I help, I also help you sell, let our school teachers come to your place for dinner.”
“Maybe in the future, I can also take over the business of the patrol brigade. A police officer season laughed in order to get his girlfriend, so he had to report every day.”
Zhao Caixia had already heard of Ji Zhenfeng, and she followed Jiahui’s jokes.
Zhao Caixia has learned almost the same after a few days. She has basically mastered the preparation method of lo-mei. She has a big belly and is afraid that she will be too tired.
“You can do all the work in the ground, but why can’t you do the work on the stove.”
Anyway, there is Li Wangping, and she is not required to rectify everything.
*****
Last time the village head asked Zhao Donglin about the land contract. After returning, the village head wrote a document based on the specific situation of Shanghe Village and called Zhao Donglin to the commune.
“Donglin, we haven’t seen you for a long time.”
“Director Zhong.”
Zhao Donglin walked up and shook hands with Director Zhong.
“How, how did you get in school during this time?”
“It’s been very rewarding, especially the view on things, which is more objective and comprehensive.”
“This is the importance of learning. This is because I am getting older. If I am in my teens or 20s, I am willing to return to campus to receive education.”
Zhao Donglin smiled, “The director has received the best education in the university of society. I came out of the army. I didn’t do anything meticulous enough. I have to accept professional knowledge to be qualified for the job.”
“Have you ever thought about what job you will do after graduation?”
“Not yet, let’s arrange it when you see it.”
“Your relationship is still in the commune. As a member of our commune, I sincerely hope that you will return to our commune after completing your studies and contribute to the development of our commune.”
“As long as the commune needs it, it is my duty.”
Director Zhong smiled.
“Well, this is how young people should be, not only knowing how to enrich themselves, but also knowing how to give back to their hometown, then I will be waiting for you.”
“Donglin’s return is definitely a big boost to the development of our commune. A few days ago, I didn’t understand some financial problems. I also went to Donglin for advice. The gains were great. No, I also wrote a document to give me advice. The director looked over.”
Village chief Xu Haiming handed over his handwritten materials.
“Oh? Then I have to take a good look.”
After receiving the materials, Director Zhong put on glasses to read carefully, especially the various data of Shanghe Village, such as how many acres of land, how many families, how many laborers, and the feasibility of implementing the land contract responsibility system.
“This material is well written. Are these data true?”
“Yes, the data is the real data over the years, and I asked Donglin to help me do the data calculation.”
“Economic reform, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one knows how to do it right and how to do it wrong, but the leaders above have also said that everyone is allowed to make some small mistakes, not to do it, or to try. , Never know how to go on.”
“The strength of Shanghe Village has always been at the forefront of our commune. As long as you, the village chief, have the courage and want to engage in land contracting, the commune will unconditionally support it.”
Xu Haiming sighed and smiled, “Director, I’m relieved with your words.”
Today’s conversation went very smoothly. Village Chief Xu Haiming was a person who was unwilling to be mediocre and wanted to make achievements. After leaving the Revolutionary Committee, the two of them pushed the car back.
“Donglin, I’m going to go back and I will have a meeting with the leaders of the production teams. You might as well come together. You have been the village party secretary of our village and have a good understanding of the situation in our village. You are also a college student who has received higher education. Everyone is still willing to listen.”
One person becomes a tree, and two become a forest. Xu Haiming is not a jealous person. On the other hand, Zhao Donglin does not work in the village now, and this credit does not fall to Zhao Donglin’s head. Listen to Director Zhong , I will reuse Zhao Donglin in the future, and now I have a good relationship with Zhao Donglin, and I will benefit from it in the future.
In the workplace, interpersonal relationships are the most important, and the good destiny formed at this moment can be used at any time.
In this way, Shanghe Village began to implement the household contract responsibility system. Some people in the village supported and some opposed. Later, the production team leader had a family. Finally, a vote was held. The minority obeyed, and the land contract was officially launched.
“Donglin, what about our land?”
“It’s easy. You can grow it yourself or rent it to someone else. Tomorrow I will go to the county with you to finalize the restaurant opening, and then make plans.”
“Okay, I will listen to you.”
Li Wangping still trusts this brother-in-law very much. He can talk without seeing the land reform in the village. It proves that he has the strength and is really talented in learning!
The neighborhood of County No. 1 Middle School is a residential area, and there is no so-called facade house. Zhao Donglin and Jiahui took Li Wangping around and found the nearest unused bungalow from home, which is very suitable for use as a restaurant.
“No one lives, we have to find someone to ask the owner of the news.”
Several people asked someone to ask, and after inquiring about it, they found out that the house was left by an old couple. The old couple was no longer there. Naturally, the house was given to the only daughter who lived in another district.
The three of them inquired about the daughter’s address, but they were not far away, and it took about twenty minutes by bus to arrive.
“Hello, is this Xu Hairong’s house?”
“Yes, this is Xu Hairong, what are you looking for?”
Xu Hairong looked at them with surprise, and after Jiahui explained her intentions, Xu Hairong’s eyes widened.
The house left by her parents has been vacant for several years. There are only two bungalows. They are big or small. She has always been a house without much use. Now someone wants to rent a house.
Jiahui didn’t directly state that renting a house is used to open a restaurant. When discussing business, she can’t show her own cards all at once. It depends on how the other party responds.
“Do you want to rent that house?”
Jiahui smiled and said, “Yes, it’s mainly close to the school. Of course, if the price is right, we can also buy it. It’s convenient.”
Now Xu Hairong was even more surprised, and her husband also came out of the house.
“Are you really willing to buy? Two thousand yuan, I will sell it if you are willing to pay.”
As soon as Xu Hairong’s words fell, Li Wangping became anxious, but he couldn’t make two thousand yuan.
Li Wangping cast his gaze on Zhao Donglin, Zhao Donglin winked at him, let him not panic, Li Wangping pressed his anxious mind and calmed down.
Jiahui’s reason for buying a house is because she is afraid that the landlord will start the price when the business starts. This house is the closest to the school and is an independent space. Based on her years of experience, it can definitely play a role. In the future, the reconstruction and demolition of the old city can also make a fortune.
After she proposed to buy a house, she waited for the homeowner to make a bid. She offered the price of two thousand yuan. It is not outrageous in terms of the size and location of the house. There must be a bargaining process.
“Sister, you see that the house has been unoccupied for a long time, and we have to spend money to repair it. You give us two hundred yuan and the transaction is 180. You comrade, we will pay for it and deliver it.”
Xu Hairong’s heart moved. It is definitely a good deal to exchange a dilapidated house for one thousand eighteen. When his son is older, he has to spend money to find a wife. With this money, any daughter-in-law can beg for and still use the money. Get a better job for the son to walk around.
Compared with Xu Hairong, her husband is obviously more mindful. He pulled Xu Hairong’s clothes and said, “That’s the house your parents left. We can’t just sell it like this.”
Who would spend so many years buying a useless house? Looking at the dressing of the three of them, it doesn’t look like they are not rich, there are definitely other hidden things in the middle.
Her husband thought this way. Xu Hairong didn’t know. She thought that her husband was really stopping her from selling the house. After so much effort, she had already decided how to arrange the money.
“Yes, it is my parents left, I have the right to buy and sell, do you feel distressed, do you want to move in?”
Her husband immediately shut up and said nothing, purely angry.
“One thousand and eighty can’t do, you have also heard, this is left to me by my parents, it is very commemorative, I said that two thousand is two thousand, and one point is no less.”
Jiahui glanced at Zhao Donglin and saw the trust in herself from his eyes, which made Jiahui very pleased.
“Sister, you think it is not easy for us to come here once, can you go through the formalities with us as soon as possible, the school will start soon, and the children at home are waiting to live.”
Jiahui didn’t remember to agree, but put forward her own request first.
“If you are willing to cooperate, we will not bargain. If you are unwilling, we will find other suitable houses, but there are not many vacant houses near the school, otherwise we will not come.”
The implication is that you are not the only choice, if you want money, you have to cooperate with me.
Before Jiahui came, she brought her passbook, just in case, she could withdraw the money at the post office. Since she took a fancy to these two houses, she should buy it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
Obviously, Jiahui was not the only one who was afraid of Ye Chang’s dreams. Xu Hairong went to the police station with Jiahui and the others, and took the money when he passed the post office.
Li Wangping was stupefied all the way. Before he came here, he said he was renting a house. Why did he suddenly turn into buying a house? Two thousand yuan, my brother-in-law and his wife even said that they can take it out, and their days are too rich.
Thinking of his wife’s belly and his own savings, he once again strengthened his mind in doing business.
The old house did not have a real estate certificate, only a yellowed registration certificate. At this time, there was no housing management station. The police at the police station gave them a notarization and reissued a title statement. The owner became Dong Jiahui.
“Thank you Sister Xu, let’s cooperate happily.”
The money has already been put in the pocket, and it is reasonable to be happy, but Xu Hairong somehow felt a little stunned that it was the place where she had lived since she was a child. When she sold it, she really lost her memories.
She touched the stack of money in her pocket, two hundred ten-yuan bills, which were very fulfilling in her hand, and her thoughts returned from memory to reality.
“Comrade police, we still want to inquire about something, that is, we want to open a restaurant, where do we have to go through the formalities?”
“You want to open a restaurant when you buy a house?”
The police looked at them suspiciously. There are no large-scale self-employed businesses, especially restaurants. Few people do this. After all, there are still several state-owned restaurants in the county.
However, the state has not banned that this cannot be done. Since the state issued documents on economic reforms, the market has indeed changed. Private transactions were previously not allowed. If they were discovered, they would be detained. Now private transactions are no longer a major event. There are also sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes on the street.
“Wait, I will ask our leader.”
After the police left, Li Wangping asked Zhao Donglin nervously, “What do you mean, won’t you stop us from doing business?”
Zhao Donglin shook his head, “Don’t worry, it probably won’t. Now that the provinces and cities have started self-employed business, it means that personal trading does not violate national policies and regulations.”
Li Wangping nodded indiscriminately, still worried. He cares very much about business now. Failure to do so is equivalent to disillusionment of life’s hopes.
When the three were sitting on the chairs of the police station waiting for a reply, there was a sound of footsteps. Several uniformed police officers walked in while talking and laughing. Among them was Ji Zhenfeng.
