Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 447 Siheyuan and demonetization
"Grandma, my dad's phone number."

Zhang Guoxin shouted while holding her mobile phone.

Li Dajuan took out her reading glasses and put them on, then took the mobile phone from her granddaughter:
"Fourth, where are you?"

Yang Huaqing hurriedly handed the phone to her husband. The old lady had poor eyesight and the screen of the phone was too small. Even if she was wearing reading glasses, she couldn't recognize people clearly.

Zhang Hao took the phone and replied loudly: "Mom, didn't I tell you yesterday that you were old? We are in Guizhou next door and can go back in two days."

He didn't tell his mother about the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone. The old lady was getting more and more confused. She forgot about it after a while, so she might as well wait until next year to move.

"Guizhou? Where is Guizhou?"

"Guizhou is to the west of our Guangdong state. The two states are right next to each other and very close." Zhang Hao said tirelessly.

"It's very chaotic outside. You should try to come back as soon as possible."

Li Dajuan instructed casually.

"I understand." Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly, "This is my last trip abroad, and I will never go out again."

From now until his official retirement next year, his main job is to take over the team. In fact, many tasks have already been taken over by Zhou Jiangyu.

Next, the couple walked around the park and chatted with their grandchildren. The conversation ended up lasting more than an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but sigh: "Serving these little ancestors is more tiring than working, and in a few years, Little Fat Tiger and the others will also have children. What is this?" Time is the right time? Thinking about it makes my scalp numb!"

"It's your own fault. If someone hadn't insisted on having a daughter, we wouldn't have so many children in our family."

Yang Huaqing said directly.

"This can't be blamed on me. When you were pregnant with An'an, I said that we would just give birth to one child because we were afraid it would be hard for you..." Zhang Hao argued with reason.

Yang Huaqing suddenly lost his temper and said, "Thank you for being able to speak out. Although you say you don't want to have children, every time you see other people's daughters, you are full of envy and don't recognize them and take them home on the spot. "

"Ahem..." Zhang Hao pretended to cough to hide his guilty conscience, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You must have been tired from shopping just now. Let's go to the villa to sit for a while?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead the way!"

"Come on, our villa is in the southeast corner of the park, less than 300 meters away."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he took the initiative to hold his wife's hand.

5 minutes later, the villa arrived.

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Yang Huaqing couldn't help but said in surprise: "I said, Lao Zhang, isn't this a courtyard? How does it look like a villa?"

"Isn't the courtyard good?"

Zhang Hao asked back.

The reason why he chose a courtyard house type instead of a traditional villa is mainly because there are many children in the family, and a bungalow is safer and has better privacy.

"I'm not saying bad, I'm just a little curious. How did you come up with the idea of ​​building a courtyard? If I remember correctly, you have never lived in Yandu, right?" Yang Huaqing asked doubtfully.

Zhang Hao nodded: "You are right, I have never lived in Yandu, but what does it matter? No matter what, I think the courtyard is the most suitable for our family."

"Where does it fit?"

Yang Huaqing asked quickly.

"Hey, if that day comes, the five brothers and sisters, the boss, will each build a courtyard, and then open a door in the wall to connect them.

In this way, it will become a five-entry courtyard or a six-entry courtyard. Not only will the space for activities become larger, but there will also be mutual care, which is the best of both worlds. "

Zhang Hao expressed his thoughts.

Yang Huaqing thought this idea was very good, but he said unforgivingly: "Don't you think the little guys are noisy? Why do you want to live together again?"

"No matter how noisy we are, safety is not as important. From now on, Taoyuan Special Economic Zone will be almost filled with new immigrants, and our neighbors will be strangers. Only if our family unites can we not be bullied."

Zhang Hao vowed.

"What you said makes sense, but is the land here enough? How many acres of homestead did you buy in total?"

Yang Huaqing asked immediately.

"Don't worry, the land will definitely be enough." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he stretched out a finger: "I bought a full thirty acres of homestead land, which is two thousand square meters!"

"Thirty acres? Why not buy more?"

Yang Huaqing frowned.

Although thirty acres seems large, it is only one-tenth of the area of ​​their old house.

Zhang Hao pointed to the subway station in front of his house: "Don't you know where this place is? It's a subway entrance and a park. Do you know how much thought I put into having such a large piece of land here?"

"As for that? It doesn't matter if you are a little biased, right?"

"Then tell me, is life more important? Or is the house more important? Besides, thirty acres is big enough. Have you seen the TV series "Love in the Courtyard"? There are more than a dozen families living in a [-]-square-meter courtyard.

According to this calculation, if our house is crowded, it can theoretically accommodate fifty families, and our great-grandson's generation will all be able to live there. "

Yang Huaqing expressed confusion: "Why not build a high-rise building? This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

“Too many empty houses is not necessarily a good thing. If the authorities arrange for other families to move in, we will still be the ones who suffer.

I have calculated that the [-]-acre, five-in-one courtyard is just enough for people to live in. Moreover, some fruits and vegetables can be grown in the courtyard to supplement the food rations. "

Zhang Hao explained patiently.

"How is that possible? You are also a consul after all. Even if you retire, can't you even be the master of your own house?" Yang Huaqing said in disbelief.

Zhang Hao lamented: "Policies can change at a moment's notice. My identity is not necessarily a guarantee, and it might even be counterproductive. In short, the lower profile the better."

"Is it as mysterious as you say?"

Yang Huaqing frowned.

Zhang Hao waved to the entourage, then pulled his wife into the yard and explained in a low voice:
"I remember telling you that the candidate for the next consul has been chosen, and if nothing else happens, there will be a series of major reforms.

Especially for a wealthy family like ours, I am afraid that they will have to live with their tail between their legs in the future. This is why I asked the second child and the others to donate the family property. "

When Yang Huaqing heard this, he suddenly became nervous: "Don't scare me? Is it really as serious as you say?"

"If you don't believe it, let me just give you an example. As far as I know, the first thing Zhou Jiangyu did after he came to power was the demonetization of banknotes." Zhang Hao said solemnly.

"Demonetization? What do you mean?"

Yang Huaqing's face was full of suspicion.

"It's just like you think, just invalidate all the banknotes currently in use, and then reissue a new banknote."

"real or fake?"

Zhang Hao immediately snorted: "Although I am about to retire, I haven't officially retired yet. For now, nothing can be hidden from me." "This is too exaggerated. Aren't they afraid of rebellion by the people below? ?”

"Actually, it's not as serious as you think."

Zhang Hao paused and then explained:
“The economic environment has been bad in the past few years, and it has been difficult for ordinary people to live without much savings. I estimate that more than [-]% of families are living on a monthly basis.

The reason why Zhou Jiangyu did this, I believe you can see, is that what they really want to cut is the rich man's leeks, and even the roots of the leeks must be dug out. "

"Why? Isn't the public ownership reform you talked about not enough? Do you have to push people to a dead end?" Yang Huaqing said angrily.

After all, their family is one of them.

"The blame is that rich people are too smart." Zhang Hao explained helplessly: "Over the years, a considerable number of large consortiums and entrepreneurs, who are well-informed and have a keen sense of smell, have sold off their main assets long ago. , it’s safe to be safe, and we are currently holding the currency to wait and see.”

"Then we can't sacrifice the common people? Is it easy for the common people to save some money?"

"This is simple. When the time comes, in the name of compensation, money will be distributed to all the people. Each person will receive a few thousand yuan. I believe that most of the resistance will disappear, whether it is local or overseas."

Yang Huaqing was stunned: "Everything has been calculated by you. It is exactly as what is said on the Internet. Politicians have the darkest hearts."

"Hey, wife, although I, like you, do not agree with Zhou Jiangyu's policies, I can understand his difficulties. In order to save the federation, I can only take this step." Zhang Hao advised.

"If you do this, I think the Europeans will fight to the end. They don't have the tradition of 'sacrifice their own family to protect everyone'."

"Don't worry, Europeans have no choice." Zhang Hao did not explain much.

Yang Huaqing sighed deeply: "No wonder you are so careful. It turns out that the situation has become so serious. No matter how you look at it, there will be a bloody storm next year. It seems that we are right to move here."

"Don't worry. No matter how chaotic it is outside, the metropolitan area is at least safe. You don't have to worry about the boss and the others, as well as our relatives."

Zhang Hao tried to comfort him.

Yang Huaqing adjusted his mood and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and look at the house! Don't you want to go back early?"

"Well, let me show you around first."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he took his wife around the courtyard.

Generally speaking, this courtyard house seems to be quite satisfactory. It is not large in area, but not small either. It is about five acres in size and has a dozen rooms in total.

The overall decoration style is modern and simple.

In addition, there are four small vegetable plots in the yard, which are not open-air and have a glass house built on them.

Yang Huaqing looked at the marble floor under his feet and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why isn't it a wooden floor?"

After all, wooden floors are more friendly to the elderly and children.

"Didn't you notice? Our house not only has no wooden floors, but also no wooden furniture. Even the chopsticks for eating are made of stainless steel."

Zhang Hao reminded.

"No wonder I always feel weird there. Why do I do this?" Yang Huaqing asked curiously.

"The reason is simple. For fire prevention, this place is located underground after all. Once a fire breaks out, the air pollution will be very large and the consequences will be catastrophic."

Zhang Hao replied.

"No, a lot of the furniture in our house is made of plastic..." Yang Huaqing quickly discovered the loophole.

Zhang Hao patted the table and quickly explained: "These are specially developed special plastics that are not easy to burn, do not melt and have low smoke, so they are widely used in Taoyuan Special Economic Zone.

In addition, if you look at the electrical appliances in our homes, they are also made of this kind of plastic. Even if a short circuit occurs, it is difficult to cause a fire. "

"There are always accidents, right? If there is a fire, how to solve it?" Yang Huaqing asked.

Zhang Hao pointed to the fire sprinkler head above his head:

“First of all, every building and every room in the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone is equipped with sprinkler heads. In addition, there is a smoke alarm system, so most fires can be eliminated in the bud.

Secondly, the fire stations here are very dense, almost every community has a fire station..."

"Is this too exaggerated?"

Yang Huaqing interrupted directly.

Zhang Hao shook his head: "It's not an exaggeration at all, because the residences here are generally high-rise apartments with dozens of floors. The area of ​​the residential area is estimated to be less than one-tenth, so there is waste."

"What else?" Yang Huaqing was thoughtful.

"Third, Taoyuan Special Economic Zone imposes very severe penalties on those responsible for fires. Once a fire breaks out, not only will these people go to jail, but all their immediate family members will be deported."

"Isn't this a series of sittings? Is it illegal?"

Yang Huaqing frowned.

Zhang Hao shrugged: "There is no way, the consequences of the fire are too serious, no one can bear it."

Yang Huaqing did not continue to dwell on this topic, but turned her attention to heating, because she had just searched around and found no radiator.

It is normal for the temperature to be more than ten degrees without heating, but she still asked casually:
"Honey, is there central heating in the city?"

"Both and no."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huaqing was confused.

"There is no central heating on the ground, but geothermal resources have been developed, so the temperature remains at more than ten degrees for many years. There is basically no possibility of subzero, so there is no central heating." Zhang Hao replied.

"What about our family? What should the old lady do?"

The temperature of more than ten degrees is still a bit unfriendly to the elderly. Moreover, the underground is cold and damp, so you will definitely get sick if you stay there for a long time.

Zhang Hao spread his hands and said, "Don't even think about burning the boiler. It's strictly forbidden by the government. We can only rely on air conditioning. Anyway, our family doesn't have to pay the electricity bill."

"Okay! That's all. What about cooking? Use an induction cooker?"

"Well, in short, no open flames are allowed, but in order to facilitate people to eat, each community has community canteens, so the problem of eating is easily solved.

By the way, the garbage classification here is very strict and complicated, requiring special study. Only by passing the assessment can you obtain immigration qualifications. "

Zhang Hao suddenly added another thing.

"There are so many rules!" Yang Huaqing complained.

"There is no rule without rules. Please be patient. This is a new environment after all. Many things are still being explored. It is best not to make mistakes easily."

Zhang Hao advised.

Yang Huaqing nodded: "I'm just talking, I'm not saying I won't learn."
