Exciting 1979!

Chapter 240 A Street Fight with the Daughter King

It was indeed a certificate, but it was not a marriage certificate, it was a property certificate.

When Wei Ming took Zhu Lin to Tuanjiehu Middle Road South, Zhu Lin hesitated and refused to get off the car.

"You mean you want to buy a building here in my name?"

Wei Ming nodded.

"What's the reason?"

Wei Ming put his hand on her leg: "My mother and sister are in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. We should find a convenient place."

"Bad guy," Zhu Lin slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Your reason is not sufficient."

"How can it be insufficient? Don't you have any needs?" Wei Ming did not move his hand away.

Zhu Lin thought how could there not be, that kind of thing is like a water valve, once opened once, the water can't be shut off.

"But why should it be under my name?" Zhu Lin asked again, but he had already acknowledged the necessity of buying a house.

Wei Ming added: "I already have a house under my name. If I buy another one, I'm afraid I'll be too conspicuous. You know what I mean."

As they all came from that era, Zhu Lin obviously understood it. Although he felt that Wei Ming was being too cautious, it was not impossible.

If you have three apartments, would you still feel cautious?

Seeing that Zhu Lin was somewhat reluctant, Wei Ming hurriedly urged him, "Come on, go in, and take your household registration book with you."

"How much does this house cost?" Zhu Lin asked cautiously.

"It's cheap, only half the price of Overseas Chinese Apartments."

Half of it is more than 10,000 yuan, which is his salary for more than ten years. Zhu Lin said quietly, "Just trust me and leave it in my hands?"

"What's there to worry about? If I have to be on guard against even you, then I've been here for nothing."

Wei Ming spoke with great righteousness. He was indeed relieved. The key was that he had bought this house for Zhu Lin, and this added another layer of bond between them. Even if Zhu Lin knew about his relationship with Gong Xian in the future, it would not be so easy for them to completely cut ties with this house.

I spend this money for my future.

The commercial residential buildings in Tuanjie Lake are experimental in nature. It is one of the few residential communities in Yanjing that has property ownership certificates. There are only two buildings and dozens of units in total.

Biaozi and Xiaomei bought Building No. 2, and Wei Ming chose Building No. 1 for the convenience of getting in and out, so as to avoid running into them if he looked up or down.

Nowadays, all houses are built, there are no unfinished buildings, and there are no mortgages.

Wei Ming, in the name of a friend, accompanied Comrade Zhu Lin, who was buying a house, to look at Room 3 on the 302rd floor of Building No. .

It is 86 square meters, with north-south ventilation and no public area. It is definitely not as large as the 150-square-meter Overseas Chinese Apartment, but it is already larger than Zhu Lin’s parents’ home.

There are three bedrooms, in large, medium and small sizes. When Wei Ming was preparing to renovate the house, he knocked down a wall, leaving only two bedrooms, which became extra-large and large. The extra-large one was used as a bedroom, and the large one was used as a study.

As for where we will live when we have children in the future, maybe we will already be living in a villa by then.

Before coming in, Wei Ming gave the bag containing the money to Zhu Lin, who then paid all the money. It took him a long time just to count the money, and he then signed several names.

There are still some procedures to be done, so Zhu Lin needs to come forward to handle them. Of course, Wei Ming will help her, as he is familiar with the process.

Half a day later, Wei Ming and Zhu Lin came out of Tuanjiehu Community. Zhu Lin still felt a little dazed. How could he have a house without knowing it?

Generally according to the procedure, after getting married, she and her husband will queue up at their respective units to wait for housing allocation. They are lucky to get one after having children. Many times, even if the children are old enough to help with housework, they still cannot get one. They will most likely have to live together with the in-laws for many years, and there will be endless trivialities.

But now, she has easily achieved what many old employees can only achieve.

Wei Ming, who bought the third house in his life, was also very happy. He went to Quanjude for a meal with Zhu Lin.

When she sent Zhu Lin home in the evening, she hugged Wei Ming tightly. She was originally a little confused about their future, but now that Xiao Wei had bought her a house, she felt that this meant that the relationship was to be settled completely. She guessed that she just had to wait for the right time to meet his parents.

Although due to the age gap and the Melinda incident, Zhu Lin has not dared to devote himself wholeheartedly to this relationship, and has always been holding back to avoid getting hurt too badly in the future.

But today she wanted to give it her all for Wei Ming.

When they were almost home, Zhu Lin suddenly asked Wei Ming to turn a corner and enter a dark and sparsely populated alley, and also asked Wei Ming to turn off the motorcycle.

Wei Ming asked with a smile: "What's up? Do you have something to tell me in private?"

Zhu Lin didn't say anything, but just moved his hand around Wei Ming's waist down a few inches.

Wei Ming was so ecstatic that he hissed.

"Good sister~"

This was Zhu Lin's first time doing such a thing, and it was in an alley, so she was quite nervous.

Wei Mingze couldn't help but analyze who had better cooking skills between Sister Lin and Sister Xue.

Finally came to the conclusion: none of them are as good as me.

However, Wei Ming wanted to applaud their courage. Sister Xue was still a virgin, but she was willing to do such a thing for him, and Sister Lin was from a scholarly family, which was contrary to the education she received since childhood.

They are the women that I can't give up in this life, ah!
Finally, they hugged each other in the car for more than ten minutes. The night wind was howling. Zhu Lin knew that men were very fragile and prone to illness at this time, so he urged Wei Ming to put her down and go home quickly.

Wei Ming left Sister Lin at the school gate reluctantly. He really hoped to get the new house soon. After all, this was not enough.

In the next few days, Zhu Lin prepared for the exam while accompanying Wei Ming to complete the house procedures.

After getting the key, they immediately indulged themselves in the unfinished house. There was no bed so they just leaned against the wall.

Wei Ming took charge of all the subsequent decoration work. It was convenient for him to travel back and forth on a motorcycle. Besides, it was risky to let a beautiful woman negotiate with a group of male decorators. Later, Zhou Lijing's wife was killed because of this, and he never recovered from it.

People don’t pay much attention to fine decoration nowadays. Even though Wei Ming has higher requirements for the quality of life, the aesthetic taste of decorators nowadays does not have that level. At most, they can benchmark against Overseas Chinese Apartments, so it should be ready for move-in soon.

He still found Master Lei's team. This was just a small job for them, but three houses were a big job. Master Lei's team was divided into three teams, and they contracted the new houses of the three bosses of Oriental New World.

However, during the renovation period, Wei Ming and Zhu Lin once again lost the hotbed of sexual happiness.

On the weekend, Wei Ming knew that Zhu Lin was going to take the entrance exam for the Film Academy, so he went to furniture stores and trust stores by himself and started buying furniture in large quantities.

One is to enrich the Siheyuan, and the other is to buy a house for Tuanjie Lake. After the purchase, you can put it in the Siheyuan first.

Because he had plenty of cash, Wei Ming bought only the good stuff from Dakaimen, with red sandalwood, mahogany and huanghuali being the first choices. There should also be some things from the palace. Wei Ming now has some discerning eyes for these things.

Just buy it. Anyway, he will have a large sum of cash to share with you next month. It is better to spend more now than to wait a few years when prices go through the roof and money becomes worthless.

However, he worked hard to shop, and even bought some fine ink, inkstones, seals and other elegant items from famous Liulichang stores such as Rongbaozhai to enrich his study, but in the end he only spent more than 2,000 yuan.

There are a lot of people who sign up for the exam for the amateur acting class at the Film Academy. Although actors don't earn much these days, it's still a decent job, definitely easier than working in a factory, and they can also be loved by people all over the country.

Therefore, many unemployed people and even those who have jobs are working hard to pursue this goal, even if they are not that good-looking.

After Li Chengru arrived at the place, he found that many people did not look as good as himself, so he became more confident. He thought that not only did he have an above-average appearance, but he also met a famous teacher and had learned the art from him.

Just as he was thinking about it, a man who was slightly more handsome than himself passed by him. He was also taller and had a better temperament. The more Li Chengru thought about it, the angrier he became.

The 21-year-old Zhang Guangli is tall, straight, and has a good image. He is quite eye-catching standing in the crowd, and has not yet shown the temperament of a traitor.

Zhang Guangli is a veteran of the navy. He was in a choir when he was a child. He has artistic talent and wanted to be an actor. Unfortunately, he missed the enrollment of the Central Academy of Drama this year and failed to become classmates with Jiang Wen, so he had to try his luck at the Film Academy.

If Zhang Guangbei is the most eye-catching among the male candidates, then Zhu Lin is definitely the most dazzling among the female candidates.

Not far away, 17-year-old Yanjing girl Li Qinqin was very confident in herself. She had been playing volleyball since she was young. She was tall and had a good image. However, she later met a person named Lang Ping in the team. She felt that there was probably not much hope for her to play volleyball in her life, so she quit and accidentally came into contact with filming.

She felt that filming was not difficult, but her friend thought she should learn acting, so she signed up for this amateur acting class, and then saw Zhu Lin, who was particularly stunning in the crowd.

Not only is she beautiful, but the clothes she wears are also nice.

Hey, this sister looks like the beauty on the poster outside Oriental Plaza!

It's not like, she is exactly like that, Zhao Baogang is sure of it. Although he has been to Xintiandi three times and didn't buy any clothes, he was deeply impressed by the two posters.

The 25-year-old Zhao Baogang is just a foundry worker, but he is also an active literary and artistic activist in the factory. With his love for performing arts, he gritted his teeth and signed up for this amateur acting class, just hoping that his destiny could change. He really doesn't want to be a worker anymore.

After waiting for a while, the door of the Film Academy opened, and they rushed in and presented themselves one by one.

Zhu Lin was very calm, but the official Ximen Qing who was sitting in front of her was a little nervous, but at least he looked good.

After a whole day of exams, Zhu Lin waited outside the Film Academy for a while, but Wei Ming did not show up. Seeing many male candidates looking at him eagerly, he had to take the bus home by himself.

Wei Ming was busy shopping today. When he returned to the Siheyuan for the last time to deliver furniture, it was already dark. At the same time, he found a letter from Sister Xue in the mailbox.

Sister Xue now mails letters directly to Siheyuan to avoid being seen by Wei Ming's family.

Wei Ming opened the letter and looked at the date. That day happened to be the day for housewarming. Maybe he was asking Sister Lin to hold on to the wall when Sister Xue was writing the letter.

Thinking of this, Wei Ming felt a little guilty but also a little excited, and was looking forward to meeting Sister Xue again.

In addition to reporting on her own filming progress and experiences, Sister Xue's letter also expressed her longing for her lover without any concealment.

But the key point of this letter is at the end. She said that A-Long wrote a letter to A-Ying, in which he expressed his love with cartoons. Sister Xue was so bad that she actually read her sister's letter. In fact, Wei Ming encouraged A-Long to write this letter.

You haven't even confessed your feelings to Gong Ying, so how can you be my brother-in-law? What if she doesn't agree to you?

Aaron was very timid in front of others, but after returning to Yanjing, he became bolder and expressed his true feelings to Gong Ying directly through a cartoon. Although Wei Ming had not seen the cartoon, the cartoonist's romance must be extraordinary.

Sister Xue did not mention Gong Ying's decision. I guess Gong Ying was also hesitating whether to accept this long-distance sister-brother relationship.

Wei Ming immediately wrote back, asking her to pay close attention.

"But don't express your opinions. We cannot be responsible for other people's happiness." This is Wei Ming's point of view.

We can cook in the courtyard, but there are no vegetables. The radishes and cabbages in the fields are still seedlings.

When he came out in the morning, his mother said she wanted to make braised beef in a clay pot in the evening, and she even rode her bike to buy a clay pot. Wei Ming decided to go home and eat it.

I didn't expect Mei Wenhua to come today. I thought he was here to have a free meal, but I didn't expect he was here to talk about marriage.

"We want to get married now, but we need Yunyun to ask the team at home to issue a certificate."

So urgent? I mentioned before that it was before the New Year.

Wei Ming couldn't help but look at Yunyun's belly.

Mei Wenhua knew what he was thinking and pulled him aside.

"Brother Ming, have you heard about Yu Luojin's divorce case?" Mei Wenhua took out a newspaper, China Youth Daily.

Wei Ming glanced at the title and said, "I know. This issue of Contemporary also published her work A Winter Fairy Tale, which is very popular."

Yu Luojin is Yu Luoke's sister, which is an important reason for her high popularity, the celebrity effect.

Secondly, her divorce case is also very typical. Influenced by her brother, she was sentenced to three years of re-education through labor in Luo Jin and then sent to a rural area in Hebei to settle down. She had no choice but to marry a local farmer. There were many such female educated youth at that time.

Four years later, the policy changed. In order to return to Yanjing, she divorced her rural husband with whom she had no feelings. Then, through connections, she met a Yanjing worker and married him. Only in this way was she able to regain her Yanjing household registration and escape from the life of working in the fields.

However, she got married this time for a purpose and for utilitarian reasons. After a few years, she found that they could not live together and wanted to divorce. The reason for the divorce was that she felt unhappy.

But this time her second husband was not so easy to deal with. He was unwilling to let go. He said, "I am a worker, and you think I am a farmer? You can do whatever you want to me."

It is not easy to get a divorce at this time. Not only is it a problem of concept, but there are also many steps. Signatures from many departments are required, and you will not be able to get a divorce if there is any obstruction.

And this man really doesn’t understand. He treats his wife so well, and all the neighbors say good things about her. So why is she not happy?
Just because she felt sleepy after watching a tear-jerking movie, and she couldn't concentrate on the novel she was reading with great interest?
That's it?

So this divorce case lasted for a long time without any result, and it was reported in the media. It was a sensation throughout the early 80s.

However, the focus of Mei Wenhua is not Yu Luojin's divorce, but the last paragraph. According to the author, on September 9, the National People's Congress passed the revised Marriage Law. The new Marriage Law simplifies the divorce procedures, which may bring new opportunities for this divorce case.

Mei Wenhua was worried: "Is the new Marriage Law going to be implemented soon? Then won't I be able to marry Yunyun?"

Wei Ming doesn't know exactly when it will be officially implemented, so Mei Wenhua's concerns are not unreasonable.

"Then you should get the certificate as soon as possible. Once you get the certificate, there's no rush to hold the wedding."

Mei Wenhua smiled and said, "I thought so too."

Moreover, after getting the marriage certificate, he can do more things permitted by law. It has to be said that compared with his brother-in-law, Mei Wenhua is still a law-abiding citizen.

Wei Ming flipped through this issue of China Youth Daily. When he turned to the last page, he found that the Personal Income Tax Law was passed by the National People's Congress together with the Marriage Law, and the collection standards were also introduced in detail.

The part of monthly income below 800 yuan (including 800 yuan) is tax-free, and the part exceeding 800 yuan is subject to six levels of progressive tax rates, with the highest rate being 45%!

In this day and age, how can an ordinary person earn 800 yuan a month? So the personal income tax law actually has no intention of collecting money from ordinary people.

If we don’t collect money from the people, whose money should we collect?

We will take money from whoever has money!

Therefore, the personal income tax law was introduced at this time mainly because after the reform and opening up, more and more foreigners came to work in China, such as the foreign teachers hired by Tsinghua University and Peking University with high salaries. Their income is very high, and it is easy to earn more than 800 yuan a month.

The scope of personal income tax includes wages, salaries, labor remuneration, royalties, franchise fees, interest, dividends, bonus income, property rental income, property transfer income, etc., so unfortunately, nouveau riche like Wei Ming and Mei Wenhua are also included.

Wei Ming asked Mei Wenhua to take a closer look at this small piece of tofu and remember to pay taxes according to the regulations when the individual income tax law is officially implemented.

Mei Wenhua felt like the sky was falling.

"No, we've only had a few days of good times, why are you doing this?"

Wei Ming: "Why, you don't want to pay taxes?"

Mei Wenhua: "I really want to pay taxes. I feel uneasy when I get so much money every month. But if I pay taxes, our profits can't be hidden. I don't believe that tax officials are so tight-lipped. What if someone spots me?"

Although the media has been keen on reporting the bustle of Xintiandi and the success of the Xintiandi model, no one knows the exact benefits.

It’s not that Mei Wenhua doesn’t want to pay, but he is afraid of showing off his wealth and attracting anger.

"Brother Ming, is there any solution?"

Wei Ming: "Yes, reduce the dividends, give less money every month, for example, if you can get 10,000, just give 1,000."

One thousand is actually a lot, but it is probably not worth it for many big shots.

"What should I do with all that money?"

"We can only put it in the account. Now we are developing a special economic zone, so we can use it for investment and put the money there." Now Shenzhen has started selling land and developing real estate, which is a big step.

Wei Ming also taught him another trick: buying things in the name of the company.

"You want to buy a motorcycle, don't you? This time, just use the company's account, buy it with the company's money, register it under the company's name, and then you can use it."

Mei Wenhua suddenly realized: "I should have bought the house in the name of the company!"

This guy is very smart. I guess he will use the company's money to buy a private jet in the future.

Everyone happily ate Xu Shufen’s clay pot beef. Hearing everyone’s praise, she asked her son to bring some for Xiaohong tomorrow.

Wei Ming smiled and said, "Then you have to make more. She likes to treat guests now."

"Humph, you taught me all this."

The next day, Wei Ming brought a lunch box filled with a clay pot of beef to school, and Yunyun also sent the letter asking her father to issue a certificate. This was not difficult, as the village leaders now wanted to curry favor with Xu Cunmao, who had a nephew who was a great writer, so they would definitely get the green light.

However, when Mei Wenhua was getting the certificate, the aunties on the street all advised him to marry and have children later, and to consider it again when he is 25 years old.

However, Mei Wenhua insisted, and since there were laws to follow, he still gave him a certificate, but also stuffed some family planning supplies into his pockets and talked about the benefits of having children late and better.

Mei Wenhua didn't listen at all and was in a trance the whole day, pinching those rubber products.

~
When Wei Ming arrived, there was no one in the dormitory. Nowadays, every university has morning self-study classes, and Wei Hong's dormitory was one of them.

So Wei Ming went straight to the mathematics classroom and gave the lunch box to Wei Hong before the class started so that she could eat it at noon.

As soon as she opened the lunch box, several little heads came over immediately. Wei Hong said generously, "Anyone who sees it gets a share!"

This sentence was exchanged for a lot of shouts of "Sister Hong is awesome."

I didn’t expect that the youngest girl in the class would become the leader of the class, although many people just wanted to tease the children.

Seeing the teacher coming, Wei Ming withdrew. He had attended classes in the Chinese, Foreign Languages, History, and even Physics and Chemistry departments, but never in the Mathematics department, which he really couldn't understand at all.

Wei Ming wrote until around 1:00 p.m. at noon and felt hungry, so he came out to look for food. There were not many people in the faculty and staff cafeteria, but he happened to see Uncle Ping An and Teacher Wang Xuan.

However, when Wei Ming called him "Teacher Wang", Director Wei reminded him: "You should call him Professor Wang."

Wang Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Associate, associate professor."

Wang Xuan was promoted to associate professor just after "Sword of Wu Hao" was printed. This also reflects Peking University's thirst for talent, otherwise the process would not have been so fast.

Wei Ming thought of the bold words on the front page of People's Daily: "Say goodbye to lead and fire, and welcome light and electricity." Based on this great contribution, a professor should be rewarded.

Uncle Ping An and Professor Wang are inseparable now, probably they are discussing the organizational structure of Founder Group.

Wei Ming didn't ask any more questions and went to work early in the afternoon to go and see the progress of the renovation of the house in Tuanjie Lake.

However, Uncle Ping'an asked Wei Ming to come home in the evening.

Wei Ming thought he was going to talk to him about Founder Group, but he ended up asking Wei Ming if he wanted to go to a concert.

Concert? This word seems so unfamiliar to Wei Ming. There were concerts in 1980?

He asked, "Whose is it?"

"I can't remember the name, but it was a Japanese singer. Mr. Gu gave me a few tickets and left two for you and Xiaohong."

Wei Ming gladly accepted it. Now he and Sister Lin finally had a place to have a proper relationship.
