The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 84 Return to Beijing for Reunion
The arrival of the first batch of medical staff caused a huge sensation in the entire Panshan Machinery Factory.

Young people in particular will go shopping in the mall after get off work to see if they can meet someone they like.

There are also some middle-aged women who, based on their nature, always want to act as matchmakers and introduce young people together.

Liu Tao clearly felt this restless feeling.

But he also had to set off for the capital.

This time, I brought my second sister's family with me, and we used two jeeps.

"Mom, an airplane, a big airplane!" the child shouted excitedly.

This was the first time they had seen an airplane.

Although you can take the train, it is a waste of time. It takes three days and three nights to reach the capital, and it takes more than a week to go back and forth. It is really a waste of time.

And too tired.

So Liu Tao chose to take a plane.

Now he can easily take a plane, unlike before when he was not even qualified to take a plane.

The children were very excited and looked at the planes outside through the glass.

In Liu Tao's opinion, the appearance of those planes is ugly and not beautiful at all, but in the eyes of others, they are exciting and thrilling.

Most people have never seen an airplane in their entire lives.

After all, there are only about a hundred planes in the country, there are few airports, and the number of planes is also small.

Not long ago, restrictions on flying began to be gradually relaxed, and many units only needed to issue certificates and use the tickets for official purposes.

Liu Tao also discovered an obvious change. As soon as he got on the plane and sat down, after the plane took off, the flight attendant gave everyone chocolate, chewing gum and a pack of 5 Zhonghua cigarettes. There was even Maotai Maotai as free drink on the plane.

If this happens thirty or forty years later, netizens will definitely exclaim: Is there such a good thing when flying on an airplane?
Liu Honglei and Chen Weimin were also very excited because this was also their first time on a plane and they had not been eligible to do so before.

This time, it was thanks to Liu Tao that I was able to take a flight.

In the afternoon, the plane landed at Beijing Airport.

After picking up your luggage, go to the bus stop and take the bus.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the compound, I saw Liu Ziyu and Liu Zhenbang waiting there.

"Dad~~"

Reuniting after many years always makes people excited and cry with joy.

When they entered the room, they saw a large table of food, which was obviously prepared carefully by their mother.

Mother and daughter met again after many years, and Liu Honglei couldn't help but throw herself into her mother Chen Fang's arms.

It has been more than ten years since we last met!
When she left, she was still a young girl, and when she returned home, she was already a wife and mother!

Only when you give birth to a child and become a mother can you understand how difficult it is to be a mother.

Although they were able to keep in touch through letters every year, they only wrote four letters a year. Every time her mother wrote to her, there would always be money and national bills mixed in.

"It's so late, let's eat quickly. If we don't eat now, the food will get cold." Liu Zhenbang said after a while.

The whole family sat down and started eating.

In addition to the drinks, Liu Zhenbang also bought two bottles of Moutai.

Normally he would not buy it, but today as we were reunited, Liu Zhenbang was willing to do so.

We ate and chatted, and it seemed like we had endless things to talk about.

During the conversation, Chen Fang said, "I don't know if I can see Hongying again in this life", which made the atmosphere suddenly become unnatural. Liu Zhenbang and Liu Honglei could not help but show their longing.

Liu Ziyu, on the other hand, has no memory of this.

After all, when Liu Hongying and Liu Honglei went to be educated youth, Liu Ziyu was still young.

After dinner, Liu Honglei and Chen Fang cleaned up together, sweeping the floor and washing dishes.

Liu Zhenbang, Liu Tao and Chen Weimin were sitting on the sofa watching TV and chatting.

Liu Ziyu acted as the leader of the children and took the three children downstairs to play.

The next morning, Liu Tao woke up and looked at Liu Ziyu who was sleeping next to him. He sighed in his heart that the house was too small and there would be no room for everyone to live there.

Like this time, he and Liu Ziyu slept on the floor.

He couldn't help but think about buying a house.

At that time, there were no commercial housing in Beijing, but you could buy a courtyard house.

If you keep your money, it will depreciate rapidly.

But if you buy a courtyard house, it’s different, it’s asset appreciation.

Liu Tao doesn't know how to invest, but he understands this point.

He still remembers that thirty or forty years later, a courtyard house could be sold for hundreds of millions or even over a billion yuan.

As soon as Chen Fang woke up, Liu Tao told him about this.

Seeing Chen Fang's hesitation, Liu Tao persuaded her, "Mom, now that my sister and her family are back, there won't be enough room for them. In a few years, when the children grow up and my eldest sister comes back, won't we have nowhere to live? Buy a courtyard house so that the family can live together during the New Year reunion. Besides, I can live here when I get married."

After Liu Tao said this, Chen Fang made up her mind.

Because what Liu Tao said was absolutely correct.

The house really can't accommodate so many people.

In addition, this time Liu Tao came back and gave Chen Fang another 70,000 yuan, so Chen Fang felt confident.

The money in the passbook is more than 120,000 yuan!
This is definitely a huge sum of money in this era.

As soon as Liu Honglei got up, Chen Fang took her to find out what happened.

At noon, Chen Fang said enthusiastically: "There are currently 805 well-preserved courtyard houses in the city, including 96 in the outer city and 709 in the inner city. They are mostly concentrated in Dongsi rd to th Street, Xisi North st to th Street, Di'anmen Nanluoguxiang, and the areas under the jurisdiction of Jingshan, Jiaodaokou, Chaoyangmen, and Fengsheng Sub-district Offices."

"Mom, are these all protected units?" Liu Tao asked.

Since last year, the call for protecting the courtyard houses has become increasingly louder, and he has heard of it even in Yunnan Province.

"It does not include national and municipal cultural relics protection units. Of course, those dilapidated courtyard houses are not included either," said Chen Fang.

Almost all the courtyard houses in Beijing no longer belonged to one family, but had become large compound houses with dozens of families living together. Every household had expanded outwards, with things piled up in front of the door and outside the house, and even in the corridors.

There are also many courtyard houses that have been self-built in recent years, made of earth bricks, red bricks, etc.

"I went to see a nice courtyard house today. It is located on the northern bank of Houhai in Shichahai, covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters and has a construction area of ​​about 5,000 square meters. The other party wants to move it abroad and wants a price of 200,000. If it is in US dollars, it can be bought for only 80,000 US dollars." Chen Fang said.

Liu Tao's mind moved, and he asked, "Does it belong to just their family? Or are there dozens of families living together?"

If there are dozens of households living together, there is nothing you can do, because you can't drive them away. They have lived here for 10 to 20 years, or even 20 to 30 years, and are very good at making trouble. Even the street can't do anything about them.

Such a large courtyard house can accommodate at least seventy or eighty households, which would definitely be a big problem.

Money is not the problem, but these residents are the big problem.
