Chapter 438 Extra: Lu Family
In 1983, Heijiang Province began to distribute land to households.
The Lujia Village Brigade also distributed land in this year, and the collective sideline businesses in the village were also contracted to individuals.
In October of the same year, the government issued the "Notice on the Implementation of the Separation of Government and Commune and the Establishment of Township Governments". The Hongqi Commune was changed to the Hongqi Township Government in 1984, and the brigade was also cancelled. The
Lujia Village Brigade was renamed Lujia Village, and the brigade leader Lu Baoguo became the village chief, and Lu Qing'an became the village party secretary.
However, Lu Qing'an resigned from the township government before the new appointment was issued.
He was previously the party secretary and had responsibilities on his shoulders, so he did not dare to leave the brigade. Now the fields of the brigade are distributed to households, and sideline businesses are contracted to individuals. Village cadres no longer play a big role in the village. It doesn't matter who is in office. He can also unload his burden. In
recent years, he often saw the content of reform and opening up in newspapers and news broadcasts. However, Hongqi Commune is a small place, and he has long wanted to take a look. Now
that he has the opportunity to unload his burden, he wants to take advantage of his body to go out and see the world while he is still strong.
So, after the autumn harvest was over and the grain was dried and stored in the warehouse, Lu Qing'an asked the eldest and second sons to help take care of it, and together with Lu Boying and Li Yue'e, the family of three boarded the train heading south.
Li Yue'e helped Lu Xiaolan take care of the children and run the store in Tang City in the past few years, and only returned to Lujia Village during the winter and summer vacations. This year, Ding Lefeng went to kindergarten, and the land was distributed to each household, so he stayed at home. Otherwise, Lu Qingan alone could not cultivate the land.
The first stop for the three of them was Beijing.
Last year, Lu Guodong and Lu Aiqin were both admitted to universities, Lu Guodong to a first-tier university and Lu Aiqin to a second-tier university. They both applied to schools in Beijing. This year
, An An and Le Le were also admitted to the junior class of a famous university at the age of 13. An An entered the military academy known as the Tsinghua University in the military, and Le Le went to the junior class of Huaqing University.
The first time he went out, Lu Qingan wanted to go to Beijing to see his grandchildren first, and then visit his daughter-in-law's house.
When Lu Qingan went out, he called Lu Xiaolan and Lu Changzheng.
Lu Changzheng arranged for someone to buy sleeper tickets for them from Shuangshan to Harbin in advance. When they arrived in Harbin, Ma Xiaojuan and Tao Peisheng came to pick them up and hosted them for one night in Harbin. The next day, they bought them tickets to Beijing.
Ma Xiaojuan was also considerate. She was worried that the elderly people were afraid of flying because they had never been on a plane before, so she bought tickets for them and personally sent them to Beijing.
Ma Xiaojuan has been doing clothing business with Su Mo for many years and has made a lot of money. She has assets of several hundred thousand and has opened five or six clothing stores.
Ma Xiaojuan is grateful to Su Mo from the bottom of her heart.
If Su Mo hadn't asked her to do business with him, she would have used her connections to get assigned to Qingxi County after graduating from university. She would have worked hard to gain experience in that small county town and received a fixed salary. How could she have the comfortable life she has now?
Last year, with the efforts of her and her parents-in-law, Tao Peisheng was transferred to Harbin and no longer had to guard the gold mine in the mountains. The three of them ended their days of living apart.
Ma Xiaojuan is rich. She has listened to Su Mo's advice and bought a lot of properties in Harbin over the years.
With a house in hand, she naturally doesn't have to live with her parents-in-law. Even for Aunt Zhao, Ma Xiaojuan arranged a place for her to live and found a nanny to take care of her. The couple visits her every few days.
With less friction, life naturally disappears. Ma Xiaojuan is very satisfied with her current life. So naturally, he was very considerate of Su Mo's family who had led him to live this kind of life.
When he arrived in Beijing, Lu Xiaolan and Ding Zhicheng came to pick him up at the airport. Ding Zhicheng borrowed the company's car and took the four of them directly to their home in Beijing, a courtyard house with one entrance that they bought two years ago.
Ding Zhicheng's company is in Beijing, and he is quite busy at work, so he spends most of his time here. Housing is tight in Beijing, and the house that Ding Zhicheng's company allocated to him is just a single dormitory, which was a bit too small for Lu Xiaolan and her friends when they came.
Later, the clothing store made money, and the couple put it together and bought a courtyard house with one entrance in Beijing. The courtyard house is about 300 square meters, with a total of eight rooms including the main house and the side rooms, which is more than enough for a family to live in.
Ma Xiaojuan thought it was pretty good. She had been following Su Mo for the past few years and also liked to buy properties. She was also thinking about buying one like this in Beijing.
"Xiaolan, your courtyard house looks good. How much did you pay for it?"
"I bought it two years ago for 7,800 yuan." Lu Xiaolan replied, "But the price has increased now. I bought a similar one two months ago. The location is not as good as this one. I spent 11,000 yuan." Ma Xiaojuan
said, "It's increased so fast. Why didn't you buy two more houses in the past two years?"
Ma Xiaojuan and Lu Xiaolan were in the clothing business at the same time. Ma Xiaojuan made nearly 100,000 yuan in the past two years and thought Lu Xiaolan was doing the same thing as her.
Lu Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not as talented as you in business, and I don't make much. The money at that time was only enough to buy one set."
Lu Xiaolan and Ding Zhicheng liked their main jobs more. Opening a clothing store was more of a sideline for them, and they didn't spend much time on the business. It has been 5 years since the clothing store was opened, and there are only two stores.
What's more, Tang City was rebuilt after the disaster, and the overall economy is not as good as Harbin. Naturally, the sales volume is not as good as there, and the profit is not as much as Ma Xiaojuan.
"Why? Xiaojuan, you want to buy?" Lu Xiaolan asked.
"Well, I think your courtyard house is nice, I also want to buy one, so that when I come to Beijing, I will have a place to stay."
"There are many more houses this year. I heard from my third sister-in-law that many people sell their houses to go abroad. I will accompany you to the real estate agency tomorrow. You can tell them your needs and they will recommend you a suitable one."
Since 1985, a wave of studying abroad and immigration has begun in China.
The next day, Lu Xiaolan first took Ma Xiaojuan to the real estate agency, and then took the three elderly people to the schools of nephews and nieces.
The first place they went to was Huaqing University. Lele was the youngest, and Huaqing was the top university, so everyone went there first.
In the past two years, more and more people have come to our country. In order to protect these best students, Huaqing attaches great importance to campus security. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without formalities. When the group arrived at the gate, they were stopped by the guard.
Lu Qingan quickly told the guard that they were here to see their grandson, and reported Lele's name, saying that he was from the junior class.
Huaqing Junior Class was just established this year, and the dozen or so students enrolled were already the focus of the whole school.
Especially Lele, the youngest, handsome, fashionable, and obviously from a well-off family. The key is that he is also smart, and has a very high talent for mathematics and physics. Less than half a month after entering the school, he became a celebrity in the school.
When the guard heard that they were Lu Yanhe's relatives, his attitude became much better. He asked them to wait at the guardhouse while he asked someone to help notify them.
Lele was studying a difficult question at this time. When he heard from the life teacher that his family was waiting for him at the school gate, he thought that Su Mo came to see him, so he quickly threw away the question and ran to the school gate happily.
[PS: Tsinghua University's Junior Class was founded in 1986. This article was written earlier because the college entrance examination was held earlier, so the founding time of the Junior Class was moved forward. ]
