Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1672 A fire in the backyard?

At that moment, Anita Koch had no idea that these Englishmen had so many tricks up their sleeves.

However, after she successfully earned the title of "fighting against all odds," she not only obtained the wild mountains, wastelands, and islands that the Hong Kong government had promised to sell separately.

They also acquired several plots of land in Xiangjiang South Island from several major conglomerates. Although the location wasn't ideal, it was still land in the South Island, unlike the remote rural areas of the New Territories.

Among them is a plot of land of approximately 12000 square feet (1300 square meters) near Heng Fa Village on the East Coast, which is currently an undeveloped wasteland.

A plot of land of approximately 5000 square feet located on Shouson Hill Road, and a plot of land of approximately 4000 square feet located on Repulse Bay Road.

A plot of land of more than 8000 square feet located near Chai Wan Shan. Although it is located in the South Island, it is currently an area that has not been developed much.

For Han Li, the best piece of land should be a plot of land of about 3800 square feet located at the east gate of Hong Kong University, at the foot of Lung Fu Shan, at the intersection of Po Shan Road and Hatton Road.

Moreover, Anita Koch's successful negotiations not only yielded this result but also laid a foundation for many things to come.

However, Han Li was unaware of Anita Koch's hard work at the moment. He was very happy to have finalized the source of raw materials today, and after dinner, he rewarded the Chung sisters handsomely.

Well, the Chung sisters live very fulfilling lives every day.

The only downside is that the aftereffects are quite severe, and it takes until the next morning to fully recover.

The next day, Han Li got up early as usual to practice his boxing and martial arts. He would read a book while his mind was sharp in the morning, and only put it down when Chung Chu-hung came to call him for breakfast.

After the three of them had breakfast, Han Li watched the Chung sisters enter the elevator. After returning, he made his usual phone calls to his manager and lawyer.

Everyone else's calls went through normally, and there was nothing wrong, but when I called Anita Koch, her secretary answered again; she herself hadn't come to the law firm today.

Han Li didn't take Anita Koch's absence from work seriously. After making the call, he realized that he didn't have anything important to do today.

However, after Han Li finished reading today's newspapers and magazines, he should have started reading and studying as usual.

Han Li remembered that Wen Bixia had mentioned that Director Li and Editor Wen had two scripts that wanted him to invest in, so he picked up the phone and called them.

However, after listening to the script, Han Li realized that he had absolutely no recollection of it, so he politely declined the investment for both scripts.

At this time, Han Li was unaware that the family planning policy had been fully implemented this year due to the family planning issue.

As the number one city, Beijing was the first to take concrete actions.

Those who work for the government, factories, mines, and public institutions in Beijing, and who are employed by the state and have secure jobs, are the first to be affected.

Each unit conducted family planning publicity and education for married people within its ranks, so that they could fully understand the benefits of family planning.

For those who are already married and have children, or families where their spouse is currently pregnant, in addition to publicity and education, some assurances should also be made regarding this matter.

(At this stage, family planning work has just begun, and everything is still in the exploratory phase.)
Although only Han's eldest sister and Yun Yingying from the Han family needed to make a guarantee, this incident caused a great stir, so tonight everyone in the Han family except for Han Li, who was far away in Hong Kong, had gathered. On the surface, the most worried person was Han's eldest sister. She and her husband had only one child, Dazhuang, since they got married, and they were just thinking of having another child when this happened.

The one who was most worried in secret was He Mi. The daughter she longed for was still nowhere to be seen. She didn't know how many children she would have before she could finally have a daughter.

Yun Yingying's situation is slightly better. Although she also wants to have two more children, she already has two sons and three sons under her name, so she can leave the family planning issue to fate.

In this situation, Han's mother could only comfort the others, telling them not to rush and to wait and see.

Actually, Han's mother was also worried. In the past, she could easily find a reason to register He Misheng's child under the names of the elderly couple. What would happen in the future?
However, Han's mother did not give up. She secretly approached the Yun sisters and He Mi separately to discuss the matter.

Let's see which of them wants to study abroad and have more children there, with their families covering the expenses.

After a brief discussion, they were defeated by a very practical problem: as long as the student studying abroad could afford it, it wouldn't be too difficult to get him to his side through Han Li's connections.

The hardest part is what to do after giving birth? You can't just leave the child abroad or in Hong Kong, can you?

Therefore, the biggest challenge is how to successfully bring the child back to China and obtain residency.

At this time, it wasn't just the Han family who were worried about having offspring; those who were already married and those who weren't were also worried.

Han Li, in particular, was scolded by his parents at home today.

He said he wasn't in a hurry to get married, but now it's all over. Even if he gets married this year, he can only have one child. If he has a daughter, then he will be childless. What will he do when he gets old?
What could Yu Daqiang do? He didn't know why things had turned out this way.

Originally, Yu Daqiang just wanted to be more selective and find a girl he liked and could get along with, but he never expected things to change like this.

Yun's parents also talked about Han Li's brother-in-law, Yun Chengpeng, at home that night because of this incident, but they could only vent their anger by talking about it.

In short, tonight's situation has caused a great stir in Beijing, where the first action was taken. There are many people like Yu Daqiang who are being criticized by their families because they married late.

At the same time, this situation has sparked a surge in matchmaking and marriage in government agencies, factories, and mines throughout Beijing and even across the country.

Everyone wants to take advantage of the fact that the policy has just been introduced and that things are not too strict yet, to get married as soon as possible and have more children.

This situation also caused Han Li's close female friends, He Mi, Li Xiaoyuan, Fu Weihong, Zhang Chaomei, and others to be harassed by some enthusiastic matchmakers.

Among them, Li Xiaoyuan and Zhang Chaomei were the most affected, because they faced not only harassment from enthusiastic matchmakers, but also pressure from their families.

As for rural areas, they have not been affected yet. One reason is that they are out of touch with the news and lack awareness. Another reason is that farmers are unemployed and do not have to worry about being punished by their employers.

Getting back to the main point, Han Li, far away in Hong Kong, is currently unaware that his own backyard is about to catch fire because of the family planning issue.

Han Li only realized it was Saturday when he was studying at home that morning. He put down his books, changed his clothes, and drove to the Hao family's house.
