Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 829, What a terrible thing to do!

"Boom!"

Yang Xiaole parked his car on the side of the alley at the entrance of the compound.

Today is working hours, so Qu Ying isn't home. The children are on holiday and usually stay with their grandparents.

After all, Xizi's two children are here!

It had snowed in Beijing before, and there were piles of dirty snow along the alleyways.

"Oh, Xiao Le?"

Just as I got off the bus, Grandpa Wang's surprised voice came over.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person and smiled: "Uncle Wang, I'm busy!"

Mr. Wang is of retirement age. A few years ago, he gave up his job so that his children who had returned home could have work.

I've reached retirement age.

Grandpa Wang walked over with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were on the car.

Hearing this, he looked up and smiled, "Yeah, just got back from my walk! Is this your car? You're driving a car now?"

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I went up north and made some money! It'll be more convenient to buy a car."

"Wow! How much does this cost?!"

Grandpa Wang was there, marveling at the sight.

Before long, the children in the compound spread the word throughout the compound.

Soon a large group of people arrived.

"Xiao Le! What kind of car is this?!"

"Xiao Le, where did you get the money to buy a car?"

"Xiao Le, how much does this car cost?"

……

The crowd discussed and inquired.

Yang Xiaole could understand that these days, buying a color TV could cause a sensation in the compound, let alone a car.

These days, buying a car usually involves hosting a banquet and receiving gifts.

Unlike in later generations, buying a car was not unusual.

He snapped out of his reverie and chuckled, "Oh, the money I made up up north!"

I just said it casually.

He didn't want to be so high-profile; he wanted to say that the business deal was a reward he received from the company in Hong Kong.

But thinking about it, if this is related to Hong Kong Island, Qu Ying will probably start to have doubts.

Even though she had already guessed many things.

After thinking about it, I decided to say that I earned it!

Wang Qiuju was wearing an apron and holding a half-peeled cabbage in her hand.

When they finally understood what was going on, they were speechless.

He quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Xiao Le, tell me honestly, are you not doing anything illegal? Have you forgotten about Jianguo? Do you want to be like him?"

She was terrified even by hundreds or thousands of dollars.

After all, Yang Xiaole had given it to them in batches before.

But this car must cost tens of thousands of yuan.

This is so scary.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other people's gazes and knew that many people had the same idea.

He raised his voice slightly and laughed, "Don't worry, I don't do anything illegal or disorderly. I helped the Production and Construction Corps of Heilongjiang Province close a deal with foreign capital, and this is my referral fee!"

These days, rumors can really kill.

He didn't care, but naturally he couldn't let his family lose face.

He then produced a certificate.

It was opened by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

His mother took it and looked at it, then felt relieved and returned the item to him.

"Huh? You're doing business with foreigners?"

"Xiao Le, how much money did you get?"

"I've known Xiao Le was capable since he was little, but I never thought he could afford a car now. The first person in our compound to drive a motorcycle was Yuan Chao, but I never thought Xiao Le would even drive a car."

The crowd was chattering amongst themselves.

Although he suspected Yang Xiaole of where the money came from, he wouldn't openly slap him in the face.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this.

Then she said, "Mom, do you want to go for a drive? Where are the kids?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuju said, "The child ran out to play after eating, and who knows where he went. I'm home alone."

After saying that, he looked at the car and then at the cabbage in his hand.

In the end, he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll wait until I have time! I'm all dirty, I don't want to get the car dirty."

"Hey, just wash it if it gets dirty! Come on, get in the car."

With so many people watching, he still left with his mother to cool things down.

He pulled his mother into the car.

I put the cabbage directly in the trunk.

"Uncle Wang, would you like to come along?"

Seeing the longing look on Grandpa Wang's face, I still smiled and asked him a question.

Grandpa Wang was quite impolite.

He asked with a smile, "Is it suitable?"

"Hey, what's this about being appropriate or inappropriate? Come on up! There are two more people you can bring. Who's coming? Aunt Wang, come on up! Aunt Sun, you come on up too!"

Sun Fu's wife had the best relationship with his mother, so naturally he invited her as well.

Everyone was there in no time.

Once someone gets on the bus, the others naturally become less polite.

They all got into the car.

However, no one dared to sit too comfortably.

"Wow, this leather is so soft! Don't damage it."

Aunt Wang touched the things in the car and said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole fastened his seatbelt and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, it's okay, it won't break that easily."

He is generally kind to people, as long as it's not malicious.

After saying that, he laughed and said, "Sit tight, let's go!"

Then start the car.

The car had a heater, and it warmed up in no time.

They didn't go too far, just strolled around the nearby main road before returning.

……

"Wow, this car is so warm! From now on, I won't feel uncomfortable going anywhere!"

After getting off the car, Aunt Wang looked at it with envy.

Car.

In the past, only big capitalists could afford to drive those cars.

It's amazing that someone in this compound can actually run a business.

As for the price of the car, Yang Xiaole never mentioned it.

I was afraid of frightening these people.

Yang Xiaole locked the car before returning home.

The car-buying saga is over, but there's still a lot of gossip going on in the compound.

……

Wang Qiuju returned home, still immersed in what had just happened.

After returning, I thought about something.

He said, "By the way, I have something to tell you. Our compound is going to be demolished! I'll talk to Qu Ying and ask her to move your older sister's household registration back here."

These words startled Yang Xiaole.

"Demolition? When did that happen?"

Demolition and relocation were indeed common occurrences after the late 1980s.

But he didn't expect it to be so early.

As for the eldest sister and Xiaoli moving their household registration back, it's obvious that these days, demolition compensation is either based on housing area or per capita. The eldest sister and Xiaoli moving their household registration back is definitely to get a larger share of the housing!
Upon hearing this, the mother said, "It was announced a while ago that they're going to build some kind of customs building, and our compound happens to be within the demolition area. Qu Ying is really something; other families can move their daughters back after they've married out, so why can't our family do the same?..."

Yang Xiaole was speechless after hearing this.

Other families are using connections to get their household registration back.

Qu Ying works in the district, so naturally she can't do such a thing.

He then asked, "So what's the current situation regarding demolition and resettlement?"

This isn't really considered a commercial housing project in the true sense, since housing reform is still in its early stages and many regulations are not yet fully developed.

However, regulations regarding the demolition of private houses have been released this year.

Upon seeing this, the mother explained the situation.

"They didn't move very far, just outside Fuchengmen Street. There was a piece of farmland there, where they built houses for the people in the neighborhood..."

Yang Xiaole listened quietly.

There are many details here.

It is related to both area and number of people.

According to regulations, if the property rights of a house are exchanged based on the original area, and the private homeowner still has difficulty living there, they may be considered to purchase a house with an area exceeding the original area, according to the following provisions:
(i) For those whose original per capita building area was less than eight square meters, an additional ten to twelve square meters per capita building area may be provided;
(ii) For those whose original per capita building area was eight to twelve square meters, the per capita building area can be increased to fourteen to sixteen square meters.

In other words, it's calculated per capita.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Mom, let's not bring my eldest sister and Xiaoli back. If we calculate it this way, our family can get a house of about 210 square meters."

Their family has four rooms, totaling a little over 80 square meters. They added another room recently, bringing the total to over 90 square meters.

If calculated per person, the family would receive approximately 210 square meters.

After all, although the brothers in his family were married, their household registration had never been transferred out.

When Xizi's family moved their household registration back, they didn't live separately; instead, they moved it back to the compound from northern Shaanxi.

As for the other companies, some are good deals, while others are not.

When it was said that the house would be purchased with private funds, Yang Xiaole had his parents buy it for him.

As for the other families, they are either hesitating or have no intention of buying at all, waiting for the housing allocation.

Moreover, the current housing prices in Beijing have already been released.

I. The price for newly built multi-story buildings is temporarily calculated at 242 yuan per square meter of building area.

II. The price of newly built high-rise buildings will be calculated at 432 yuan per square meter of building area.

III. Other properties will be valued according to the "Provisional Standards for Property Valuation in Beijing".

There are several in total.

If it weren't for this year's regulations, the best they could expect would be a replacement of an equal area.

And this price is expected to rise sharply in the next two or three years.

Pulling herself back to reality, she smiled and said, "Mom, now that we can buy a house, there's no need to transfer my older sister and Xiaoli's household registrations here. Just consider it support for Qu Ying's job. Okay?"

The mother hesitated for a moment: "Your eldest sister, your youngest sister, and Xiaomai, the three of them together make up more than forty square meters! That's several thousand yuan!"

"Hey! It's only a few thousand. If you need money, I'll give it to you!"

As he spoke, he took out the leather bag he had brought with him.

"Here, this is for you. Please put it away yourself."

The mother was filled with curiosity upon seeing this.

He took it and looked at it, then suddenly covered the bag up.

Then he ran out and bolted the door, before running back and anxiously asking:

"My goodness! How much is this?"

There are stacks and stacks of ten-yuan bills inside.

The design of the 80 version of the RMB with a face value of 50 has been finalized, but it will not be issued for another two years.

These stacks of ten-yuan banknotes have a powerful impact from the era they represent.

Previously there were only one or two stacks.

It's a leather bag now.

Wang Qiuju had never seen so much money before.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "This is 30,000 yuan in total. It's for you. Don't bother with Qu Ying anymore. Let me tell you, there might be a lot of demolition and redevelopment in the city in the future. Aren't there houses for sale now? If you want to invest, you can buy one. Maybe you can upgrade to an apartment building in the future!"

Wang Qiuju emptied the contents out.

My eyes are getting tired from looking at it.

Hearing this, she looked up and asked, "What about you? You have to live your own life too! You're married and have children now, and your older brother and Xizi also have their own families. You'll all be living your own lives from now on."

"Don't worry, I definitely have more. It's that car by the door. It's worth over 30 yuan. Do you think I'd be short of that little bit of money?"

"How many?"

Wang Qiuju's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.

Then she lowered her price again: "So expensive? Are you crazy! That much money, if you put it in the bank, how much interest would you get every year! And driving a car would waste gas."

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this: "Mom said that you don't need to worry about my affairs."

He had his reasons for doing so.

In the future, the demolition of houses in the city will be a common occurrence.

This money was meant to support his parents. If the time comes in the future, he can give some to Xizi and his older brother, or even to Xiaoli and his older sister if they are not doing well.

My older brother is currently at the Public Security Bureau.

Xizi is also within the system, and her sources of income are limited.

He doesn't want these people to go down a path of no return for money in the future; it's really unnecessary.

If parents buy several apartments, decades later, each apartment will be a hundred or so square meters, and in the future, they will be worth tens of thousands of yuan per square meter in the second or third ring road area.

This amount of money is really nothing to him.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuju opened an envelope and began to count the items.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole did not insist.

After his mother finished counting the first stack, he said, "This was withdrawn from the bank, no need to count it. Do you think I would try to fool you with fakes?"

There doesn't seem to be any counterfeit money yet.

It's estimated that counterfeit money will start appearing in a few years.

Then she said softly, "Mom, let's go to the Beijing Hotel for lunch tomorrow to see your grandchildren!"

"We're at home every day, right? Why go to the Beijing Hotel? It's so expensive. It seems like only foreign guests and overseas Chinese can go there."

The mother's eyes were fixed on the money, and she didn't react.

Yang Xiaole coughed lightly and said, "Um... Mom, do you still remember Hua Yourong?"

"I remember! Didn't they go to Hong Kong Island as a family? What happened?"

"She gave birth to a son!"

"Oh? That's great!"

"its mine!"

Quiet!

Suddenly, Wang Qiuju turned around sharply and stared straight at him.

Yang Xiaole felt a little uneasy.

After a while, Wang Qiuju finally came to her senses: "You rascal? You got her pregnant? I knew before that the girl looked at you differently. You brat, are you still going to be a Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife)?"

"She gave birth to two for you?"

Yang Xiaole smiled sheepishly.

He then said, "No, you also have a granddaughter, who was born to your other daughter-in-law."

Wang Qiuju was startled.

He quickly said, "You brat, don't talk nonsense! That's indecent! Do you want to be shot?"

"Really! The two children are the same age as Xingxing and the others, but they are about two months younger."

"You brat!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuju immediately started punching him on the shoulder.

"How could you do such a thing! If Qu Ying finds out, how will she ever face anyone again? You may be shameless, but I am!"

After hitting him a few times, I felt a bit better.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Then... how about I send them back to Hong Kong Island? It's really inconvenient here!"

"Go back? What do you mean, go back! I haven't even seen my grandson and granddaughter yet! Take me to see them tomorrow!"

Upon hearing that Yang Xiaole wouldn't let him see his grandchildren, he immediately changed his tune.

He then said, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Aren't you breaking the law?"

"The laws on Hong Kong Island are different from those here."

Yang Xiaole explained the situation over there.

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju shook her head: "What a disaster! You've done something terrible!"
