As the patriarch of the Xia family, Xia Yuanqiang spoke on behalf of the family: "Rujia, your mother is right. No matter when you come back, we have houses in the family. When we go back, we will pick out a few good ones to transfer to you."
The Xia family used to own many houses. They donated some, but still have more than twenty houses in their possession. They didn't dare keep the shops, because keeping shops during the ban on buying and selling would be suicide.
These twenty-odd houses are all registered under the names of every adult member of the Xia family.
Before the Xia family's incident, only the underage Xia Jingxing, Xia Wenqing, Yu Rujia, and Gao Guojing did not own any houses. Gao Shujing's age was deliberately changed to be one year older, and he owned two houses.
The original plan was to gradually increase the age of the remaining minors, but before that time could come, something happened to the Xia family.
Therefore, none of the four of them own any houses.
When the Xia family got into trouble, more than twenty houses were confiscated by the state. Now that their status has been restored, the houses have been returned to them.
Although it's unclear how badly the house was damaged, the land is there, and the house can be rebuilt.
Gao Shujing: "No matter when, houses in Beijing are always in high demand. What Jia means is that the trend is changing drastically now. In the next two or three years, a large number of people will flock to Beijing, and house prices will inevitably rise at that time."
"We'll stock up on some houses first, and then see whether to sell or rent them out later."
During the period when private sales are prohibited, houses can still be sold and rented. As long as it is not a bulk sale, no one will check.
Before Xia Jia regained his identity, Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing discussed the housing issue and agreed that the reform and opening up would inevitably arrive in the next few years, at which time housing prices would become the industry with the biggest increase.
Both of them agreed to buy more houses in key areas.
Yu Rujia: "That's how it is. Mom took the money back and helped me buy a house. It doesn't matter if it's a good house or a bad house. Before the money runs out, I can buy as much as I can. The most important thing is to secure the land first."
"The houses further inside are more valuable. If no one is selling houses inside, we can buy one outside. Mom, it's up to you."
Xu Xiangyue asked with some concern, "Isn't this speculation? You've hoarded so many houses, won't something bad happen?"
Yu Rujia had helped their family a lot, and Xu Xiangyue felt that she shouldn't get involved in these things before the higher-ups issued the relevant documents, lest she end up like them and be locked up.
As Xia Yuanqiang's eldest son, Xia Taiping was raised as the heir of the Xia family. Before the Xia family donated their assets, he had already taken over many of the Xia family's businesses and had a keen sense of business acumen.
Xia Taiping: "If our family's composition can be restored, it proves that the higher authorities intend to restore the previous free trade. If Jia can do these things, there should be no problem."
Xia Tai'an shared the same idea: "Keep Meifeng for now. With major renovations imminent, real estate will be a huge opportunity in the next few years. Houses in Kyoto are incredibly valuable; buying one won't be a loss."
Han Meifeng immediately accepted the money: "Mom will take care of this when I get back to Kyoto, and try to get you more houses under your name."
Yu Rujia: "You can handle the house matter as you see fit. If you don't have one, don't force it. Although our family's status has been restored, we shouldn't act too ostentatiously. Let's take it slow. Safety is the most important thing."
Han Meifeng: "Mom understands. I'm still waiting for you to bring the children back to live with us. I won't do anything reckless."
After agreeing on the house, the group's attempt to entice Dorje and Dorje to go to the capital failed, and Duofu and the others were unwilling to go with them. The Xia family could only regretfully leave Shangfen Brigade with the people who came to pick them up.
No sooner had the Xia family left than Captain Huang arrived.
As soon as Captain Huang entered, he asked, "Shujing, when are you planning to leave?"
Gao Shujing paused for a moment, then knew what he was referring to.
Gao Shujing: "We currently have no plans to leave."
Captain Huang: "Isn't Yu, the educated youth, related to the Xia family? Their family has regained their status and returned to the capital, becoming high-ranking officials. This is a good thing. Aren't you really going to go with them?"
Gao Shujing came from Jiangcheng and, on the surface, had no connection with the Xia family.
Therefore, Captain Huang always believed that Yu Rujia was the person related to the Xia family, and never thought that Gao Shujing was the direct bloodline of the Xia family.
He said that the Xia family would become high-ranking officials once they returned to the capital, which was indeed true. Of the six members of the Xia family who had jobs, some worked in government offices and some in their respective units. Among them, Xia Tai'an rose the highest, no lower than Xia Taishun in the military.
Gao Shujing: "This is a good thing for them, but we don't need to go back with them just because some of them are officials."
Captain Huang then remembered that, in terms of social status, Gao Shujing's parents were no less than the Xia family. With such a family background, Gao Shujing had taken the initiative to come to the countryside. Of course, he wouldn't eagerly follow the Xia family just because they had regained their status.
Captain Huang: "Ah, I was overthinking it. You have a higher level of awareness. You are indeed a college student."
In Captain Huang's mind, college students are a whole level above ordinary people in every aspect.
Upon learning that Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia were not leaving, Captain Huang's anxious heart finally calmed down.
He can still come to Gao Shujing for directions if he has any problems in the future, and Yu Rujia can still treat the sick people in the team. That's great.
After finishing work in the evening, Huang Guihua couldn't even bother to cook dinner before rushing to find Yu Rujia.
Huang Guihua: "Rujia, how do you know the Xia family?"
When Yu Rujia first came to the brigade, she became friends with her. Huang Guihua never imagined that Yu Rujia was hiding such a big secret.
She overheard others talking about it while she was at work and couldn't wait to come over and find out more.
Now that the Xia family has been exonerated, there is no need to hide it from everyone anymore, so Yu Rujia told the truth.
Yu Rujia: "My parents were martyrs, and the Xia family were the ones who adopted me. When the Xia family had their accident, I escaped because of my parents."
Huang Guihua: "So you came to the countryside for their sake?"
Yu Rujia: "They raised me, so I can't just sever ties when something happens to them."
Huang Guihua chuckled and said, "I was wondering why someone with such amazing medical skills would choose this place. It turns out it's because of them."
"You're really brave. When something like this happens, most people would run as far away as possible, but you actually ran after them."
Even if the sports here aren't as intense as in the north, Huang Guihua is naturally aware of something that's common knowledge throughout the country.
Back then, when a family got into trouble, everyone who was close to them would be investigated. Some people would be implicated and suffer along with them. Even those who managed to distance themselves from the situation had to sacrifice a lot to get away with it.
Huang Guihua knew Yu Rujia was bold, but she never imagined she was this bold.
