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.
Especially young people will go shopping in shopping malls after get off work to see if they can meet someone they like.
There are also some aunts who, using their natural instincts, always want to be matchmakers and introduce young people to be together.
Liu Tao clearly felt this restlessness.
But he also had to set off for the capital.
This time, I took my second sister and her family with me, which required two jeeps.
"Mom, plane, big plane!" the child shouted excitedly.
This was their first time seeing an airplane.
Although you can take the train, taking the train is a waste of time. It takes three days and three nights to reach the capital. It takes more than a week to get back and forth. It is really a waste of time.
And too tired.
So Liu Tao chose to fly.
Now he can easily fly, unlike before, he was not even qualified to fly.
The child was very excited and looked at the plane outside through the glass.
In Liu Tao's opinion, those planes looked very ugly and not beautiful at all, but in the eyes of others, they were exciting and thrilling.
Most people have never seen an airplane in their lives.
After all, there are only a hundred or so planes in the country, there are few airports, and the number of planes is also small.
Not long ago, restrictions on flying began to gradually relax, and many units only need to issue a certificate and use it for official business.
Moreover, Liu Tao also discovered an obvious change. As soon as he got on the plane and sat in his seat, after the plane took off, the flight attendant gave everyone chocolate, chewing gum, a pack of 5 Zhonghua cigarettes, and even free drinks on the plane. There is Moutai.
If this happens thirty or forty years later, netizens will definitely exclaim: Is flying a good thing?
Liu Honglei and Chen Weimin were also very excited because this was their first time flying, and they were not qualified to fly before.
This time, it was also thanks to Liu Tao that I was able to fly.
In the afternoon, the plane landed at Beijing Airport.
After picking up your luggage, go to the bus station to take the bus.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, they already saw Liu Ziyu and Liu Zhenbang waiting there.
"Dad~~"
Reuniting after so many years is always exciting and makes people cry with joy.
When they entered the door, they saw a large table of dishes on the table, which their mother had obviously carefully prepared.
When mother and daughter met again after many years, Liu Honglei couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of her mother, Chen Fang.
It was more than ten years since we said goodbye!
She was still a young girl when she left, and she was a wife and mother when she returned home!
Only after you have given birth to a child and become a mother can you know how difficult it is to be a mother.
Although they could communicate through letters every year, they only wrote four letters a year. Every time her mother sent her a letter, there was always money and national tickets mixed with it.
"It's so late, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, the food will get cold." After a while, Liu Zhenbang said.
The whole family sat down and started eating.
In addition to drinks, Liu Zhenbang also specially bought two bottles of Maotai.
Normally he would be reluctant to buy it, but at today's reunion, it was rare for Liu Zhenbang to be willing to do so.
While eating and chatting, there seemed to be endless things to say.
While chatting, Chen Fang said: "I don't know if I will see Hongying again in this life", which suddenly made the atmosphere unnatural.
Liu Zhenbang and Liu Honglei couldn't help but look missing.
On the contrary, Liu Ziyu had no memory of this.
After all, when Liu Hongying and Liu Honglei went to become 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 became the king of children and took three children to play.
The next morning, Liu Tao woke up and looked at Liu Ziyu sleeping next to him. He sighed softly in his heart. The house was too small and he couldn't live in it when everyone came back.
Like this time, he and Liu Ziyu slept on the floor.
He couldn't help but think of buying a house.
At this time, there were no commercial houses in Beijing, but you could buy courtyard houses.
If you keep money, it will depreciate rapidly no matter what.
But if you buy a courtyard house, it's different. It's asset appreciation.
Liu Tao doesn't know how to invest, but he still understands this.
He still remembered that thirty or forty years later, a courtyard house could be sold for hundreds of millions or even more than one billion.
As soon as Chen Fang woke up, Liu Tao told him about it.
Seeing Chen Fang's hesitation, Liu Tao advised: "Mom, if my sister and the others come back now, they won't be able to live here. In a few years, the children will grow up. If my eldest sister comes back too, won't they all be gone?" Do you have a place to live? I want to buy a courtyard house. If my family gets together during the Chinese New Year, I can live there. Besides, I can live there too when I get married."
When Liu Tao said this, Chen Fang made up his mind.
Because what Liu Tao said was not wrong at all.
The house really can't accommodate that many people.
In addition, Liu Tao came back this time and gave Chen Fang another 70,000 yuan, so Chen Fang was confident.
The money in the passbook is more than 120,000!
This is definitely a huge sum of money in this day and age.
When Liu Honglei got up, she was pulled by Chen Fang to understand the situation.
At noon, Chen Fang said enthusiastically: "Currently, there are 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 East 43rd to 8th Street and West 4th North. It is within the jurisdiction of Yitiao to Batiao, Di’anmen Nanluogu Lane, and Jingshan, Jiaodaokou, Chaoyangmen, and Fengsheng Subdistrict Offices.”
"Mom, are these protection units?" Liu Tao asked.
Since last year, the call to protect the courtyard has become stronger and stronger, and he has heard about it even in Yun Province.
"It does not include national and municipal cultural relics protection units, and of course, those dilapidated courtyard houses do not count." Chen Fang said.
Almost all courtyard houses in the capital no longer belong to one family, but have become large courtyard houses with dozens or dozens of families living together. Every household is expanding outwards, with things piled up in front of the door and outside the house, and even debris is piled in the aisles.
There are also many courtyard houses that were self-built over the years, made of adobe bricks, red bricks, etc.
"I went to see it today. There is a very nice courtyard house. It is located on the northern edge of Houhai, Shichahai. It 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 go abroad and asks for 200,000 US dollars. If it is US dollars, it will be better. It can only cost $80,000," Chen Fang said.
Liu Tao was moved in his heart and asked: "Does it belong to their family alone? Or do dozens of families live together?"
If there are dozens of households living together, there is nothing you can do, because you can’t drive away the people even if you want to. Those people have lived there for 10, 20 or even 20 to 30 years, and are very good at running around. Even the streets will pick on these people. no way.
A courtyard with such a large area could 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.
