A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 56 Cai Quanwu Gets the Certificate

He Yukai spent more than a month slacking off, and Cai Wenqing also took a leave of absence as he was unable to move around easily.

During this period, He Yukai focused his main energy on Cai Wenqing, who was less than a month away from giving birth.

At this time, he received a call from his uncle Cai Quanwu, who said that he was going to marry Xu Huizhen, but they were not planning to hold a wedding. They just wanted to get a certificate and have a meal as a family.

He Yukai thought about what wedding gift to give to Cai Quanwu. As for Cai Quanwu, he would give him a watch, and as for Xu Huizhen, he would give her a sewing machine!
I still need to talk to Xu Huizhen. Xu Huizhen is so strong that she can't give all her children the surname Xu! What if she gives birth to a son? Although I know Xu Huizhen is not destined to give birth to a son, it doesn't mean that we can't talk, right?

He prepared as soon as he thought of it and asked He Yuzhu to go shopping. It was really a good idea. They only notified him after they got the marriage certificate today.

I guess he had already slept with Xu Huizhen last night.

I don’t have to go to work on Sundays, so I might as well take Cai Wenqing out for a walk. Walking more is good for production.

First, they borrowed the factory director's car to send Cai Wenqing to the tavern, and then the two brothers went to the department store to buy things.

I happened to get a sewing ticket some time ago, but as for watch tickets, they are hard to get, so I can only go to the Friendship Store to look.

Buy a sewing machine and let He Yuzhu go there first with the tricycle.

He Yukai went to the Friendship Store and bought a watch that was 9% new. He was quite tired.

When he rushed to the backyard, he saw Xu Huizhen chatting with Cai Wenqing, Cai Quanwu and He Yuzhu were installing sewing machines. He Yukai hurried over to help and asked He Yuzhu to go over to cook.

"Uncle, it's great. You got it done so quickly."

"What do you mean you got her so quickly? She also put forward conditions. The child will take her surname, which is equivalent to marrying into her family. I don't mind, but I'm afraid you might have some ideas."

"Uncle, let me tell you this!

I don't have any other ideas. At least one of your children should take your surname.

We can’t all have the surname Xu anymore. We are all from the new generation and don’t care about those things, but it won’t sound good if we tell others about them.”

"Okay, I'll tell Huizhen, you and your wife are not ordinary people, you can't let anyone gossip about you. He Daqing's situation is not looking good, I can't let you down here, right?"

While they were talking, the sewing machine was assembled. Xu Huizhen came over to try it and it worked fine.

Xu Huizhen was very satisfied with the He family's attitude. She could still afford a sewing machine on her own. If she couldn't afford a new one, it meant she didn't have a sewing machine ticket. However, there was no pressure to buy a second-hand one from the Friendship Store.

The key is the attitude of the He family. After all, she was going to marry Cai Quanwu with the child, and they also agreed that the child would take her surname.

It's not that I'm harsh, it's just that I'm scared of He Yongqiang. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years. It's not easy to let it go.

"Thank you, with this thing, I can make my own clothes. Chen Xueru happens to have good fabrics, and with my relationship with her, I don't need tickets. I can save a lot of money on clothes for my children in the future."

At that time, women were proud to own a sewing machine, but even this requirement was beyond the reach of most women. Even urban families with income could scrape together enough money by living frugally, but sewing machine tickets were hard to come by.

"You're welcome, auntie. I just happen to have the ticket. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy it. We're family from now on. It would be awkward if you were too polite."

“Yes, only a large factory like yours can have this ticket.

There is nothing we can do. If we want one, we can only go to the Friendship Store to exchange it.

It is not certain that you can find it in exchange. Take our tavern for example. Fortunately, it is a public-private partnership. It would be impossible for us to sustain it otherwise.

Now everything needs tickets. If you don’t have a source of tickets, you won’t have the raw materials and you naturally can’t continue to operate.”

He Yukai didn't respond. He just walked around the yard holding Xu Jingli. Mainly because he didn't know how to tell them that public-private partnership was the general trend.
Will there be no such thing as private ownership in the future?

Not to mention, the yard of this tavern is really nice, and the house is big enough.

It’s no wonder that there seem to be quite a few small courtyards like this on the Zhengyangmen side!
House buying and selling is no longer allowed now, and it is useless to buy a house anyway. Housing is in short supply at this time, and the extra houses still have to be rented out to others after being registered.

As a result of the first five-year plan, the development experience of polar bears was adopted to give priority to the development of heavy industry.

Now many people have flocked to the city to work as workers, which has led to increasingly tight housing conditions.

It is said that all the houses in their compound are ready to be divided up!

Now the back house in Courtyard 98 is used as everyone’s warehouse. After the expansion, the back house is hard to find, and you can’t hide it if you buy a house.

Even the back house that no one had ever looked up to before has become a hot commodity. It is said that Yi Zhonghai was even criticized for applying for a back house for the Jia family!

It’s good enough to have one room, but you want to give all three back rooms to the Jia family. You must be dreaming!
It is incomprehensible how much Yi Zhonghai cares about the Jia family's affairs. Even his own apprentice would not care so much about them.

According to Cai Wenqing, Jia Zhang also went to the street office to make a scene, but was driven out by Director Wang.

I guess Jia Zhang will cause more trouble in the future.

Because of the Thief Saint, Qin Huairu has not returned to her parents' home yet, and it is even more impossible for Jia Zhang to go back.

Ever since moving to the city, he has looked down on his former rural relatives and came here to beg for money.

So they offended everyone and didn't go out together. Now they don't know the impact of the production team, at least the Jia family doesn't know it yet. The first batch of production teams were piloted in Beijing, and in 58, after piloting in batches, they began to be promoted nationwide.

From the production teams in 58 to the household contract responsibility system in 84, the production teams represented an era in the countryside.

The production team is a product of the times and a manifestation of the collective economy.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, industrial development generally lagged behind and much was in need of reconstruction. The development of heavy industry urgently needed steel, which led to a shortage of agricultural tools.

A production team was established and resources were allocated uniformly by the entire team.

The production team represents the full entry of rural land resources into collective ownership.

In other words, it broke the private land ownership system that had ruled China for thousands of years, and it was also the beginning of effectively curbing land annexation.

History shows that after turbulent times of war, the population dropped sharply and land resources became desolate.

When a new country is established, unowned land will be distributed to landless farmers for cultivation. Once farmers have land, the population will explode.

As time went on, the aristocratic landlords began to annex land and became extremely greedy.

A large number of farmers gradually became tenants. When they encounter natural disasters and cannot survive, they will take risks. This is the law of cycles.

Now that production teams have been established, the land has been collectively owned and turned into a collective economy.

When the household contract responsibility system was implemented, it was specifically emphasized that land belonged to the state and no one was allowed to buy or sell it.

Farmers only have the right to use the land, not the ownership.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, land belonged to farmers and could be traded.

Production teams came into being under such circumstances, and after the initial stage of the Agrarian Revolution all the land belonged to the government.

In order to unite the enlightened landlords and rich peasants, the barren, ownerless and bad gentry land was distributed to the peasants on a principled basis.

Now the land has become a collective economy, and later the household contract responsibility system was implemented. After a long period of exploration, the land problem was finally solved.

It breaks the cycle and reflects the wisdom of the organization's leaders.

The Jia family only has enough food for Jia Dongxu, which is not enough to feed the whole family. They cannot afford to buy food on the black market.

By then, the Jia family will definitely ask to change back to urban household registration, and to change to urban household registration, they must have a job.

When it came to unifying the household registration, the street office did a lot of work, but Jia Zhang was unwilling to do so.

If it doesn't comply with the policy, it cannot be changed now. Cai Wenqin is in charge of the household registration work of the street office.

But Cai Wenqing was not really afraid and had been eager to try. Every day, watching Jia Zhang jumping up and down in the compound, he had long wanted to go into battle shirtless.

I was stopped by He Yukai because of my pregnancy. After I give birth, the collision between old ideas and new-age women will happen. I wonder what brilliant sparks will come out.
He Yukai expressed his anticipation and was extremely confident in Cai Wenqing's fighting ability.

Thinking about these things, He Yukai even laughed with glee.

"Silly, what are you thinking about? You are laughing so ugly, it's scary."

“Haha, I suddenly remembered that the people in the compound know your identity.

Also, when the Jia family learned that the rural land would be taken over by the collective and distributed according to work, given Jia Zhang's personality, she would definitely ask Yi Zhonghai to ask you to intercede and change the status of her household registration.

You can’t help here, what kind of sparks will be created when you, a woman of the new era, collide with Jia Zhang’s old ideas? I’m looking forward to it.”

"I had anticipated this a long time ago. I cannot break the rules. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

At the beginning, I sent people to do the work repeatedly, but they just wouldn't give in. In order to take advantage of the country, they never gave in. Now that the matter has been settled, what else can I do?
Are you looking for trouble with me? I'm waiting."

"The wife is domineering"

At this time, He Yuzhu had just finished preparing the meal and invited everyone to eat. It was Xu Huizhen's first time eating a meal prepared by a chef, and she praised He Yuzhu so much that she felt embarrassed.

Xu Huizhen is indeed good at networking. Now He Yushui and Cai Wenqing call her "aunt" all the time and they seem to have a very good relationship.

Xu Huizhen also said that she could be taken care of here during her confinement. He Yukai never doubted Xu Huizhen's ability, and she might even be better than the ones in movies and TV dramas.

Cai Wenqing also needs to rest. She is about to give birth and cannot be too tired. He Yukai originally planned to go directly to the hospital to give birth, but Cai Wenqing was unwilling.

In the past, others thought Cai Wenqing was spoiled. He Yukai's thoughts were still very different from the current era. What is the most important thing now? Of course, children.

Why bother about what others say? In the end, I couldn't persuade Cai Wenqing and had to give up. I just need to be more careful.

From now on, there must be someone by Cai Wenqing's side at all times. If something happens and he cannot be sent to the hospital in time, it will be a serious matter.
