The New Year's Eve of 1980 finally arrived amidst everyone's anticipation.
After the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere is completely different from last year.
Not long after the New Year ended, Master Song, Song Luoshu, and Song Luoyun excitedly came to the Su family.
"Huaiyuan, Jiuru, our family has been vindicated."
Mr. Song's face was flushed with excitement. When he saw Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru, his voice changed.
Song Luoyun and Song Luoshu beside them were also very excited, and the smiles on their faces never faded.
Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru were startled and couldn't help laughing.
"Congratulations, sir, you've finally been vindicated."
"That's great, this is a happy event."
The wife and son congratulated Mr. Song and said that they were sincerely happy for the Song family.
Although their situation has changed a lot in the past two years, as long as they are not rehabilitated and their reputation is not restored, they will not be able to get back what was once under their name.
"Yeah, yeah, that's great."
Mr. Song kept muttering to himself, and then his eyes turned red. He had finally made it through all these years.
Fortunately, during the first few years of hardship, when the family was about to give up, they met Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru. From that day on, their life got better and better.
Now, Sun Song Luoyun is a famous figure. He had previously planned to start a business and support his family after graduation. But with the Song family's rehabilitation, he might have to change his plan.
My granddaughter Song Luoshu is going to take the college entrance examination this year. Her grades are definitely good enough to get her into university, so the family doesn't worry about her at all.
The second grandson, Song Luonian, is also in the second year of junior high school this year, and the two younger grandchildren and the granddaughter are also in elementary school. It can be said that the children are gradually growing up, and Mr. and Mrs. Song can finally stop worrying about not being able to support themselves and leaving the children without support.
"Master, what about your and Aunt's previous jobs?! Can they be reinstated after being rehabilitated?!"
Rehabilitation means that what is owed must be returned, otherwise it is not called rehabilitation. Qiao Jiuru was curious about how the higher-ups would handle this, after all, the two elderly people were old and had long passed retirement age.
"My wife and I did get our jobs back, and we were compensated for all the years we'd earned. But we're too old, and there's nowhere else to put us. So, we applied for retirement, so we can collect our pension without having to work."
After receiving the notice of rehabilitation, Mr. Song asked in detail about the arrangements and resettlement of these people. After knowing that they could not resume their original jobs, he submitted a retirement application to the higher authorities.
Both elderly people are over 70 years old and have long passed the retirement age. Of course, they can retire directly, so the higher authorities will handle their retirement extensions and allow them to receive their pensions every month in the future.
"This is good, retirement is good. Not only can you receive a pension, but you don't have to go to work in the cold weather. You can take good care of yourself at home. In the next two years, we'll wait for Xiaoyun to get married and have children. Then you can have a great-grandchild and your life will be complete."
Su Huaiyuan agreed with the decision of the two old people. They were too old and it was not good for their health to go out to work. They should have recuperated at home long ago.
"Yes, and besides, didn't my wife and I sweep the streets and toilets before?! These two jobs are ours anyway, so we're selling them. We don't ask for much for this job, just a few dollars a piece."
Mr. Song said confidently that after Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru were rehabilitated, he specifically sought them out to understand the situation and had been paying close attention to them over the past few years. Therefore, he was not as timid as other people who had been rehabilitated, not daring to do this or mention that.
"Yes, Master."
Qiao Jiuru couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the master's performance, awesome master.
"We've also returned our house and shop. The shop is fine, as it's occupied by factories. But the house is a problem. One house is small, so only four families live in it. Another has seven or eight families. I've personally visited them, and I'm afraid it's difficult to evict them."
When Mr. Song talked about his previous room, his brows were furrowed and he was not in a good mood.
He came to Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru to report the good news, and one of his purposes was to ask them to help him think of a solution.
"Master, if the shop is occupied by those units and factories, it's easy to reclaim it. But if the house has too many and complicated units, it's very difficult. You have to first find out their identities and work units, then talk to their factory leaders to see if they can solve their housing problems. If that's not possible, then we can only sell it to them. We are all reasonable people, we can't give it away for free, at least we have to take the money from the sale. It's reasonable and legal. If they don't agree, we can sue their factory. It's still manageable."
Qiao Jiuru thought about it seriously. If it were her, she would have no choice but to resort to this last resort. She couldn't possibly get nothing, right?!
Mr. Song thought the same thing. If he couldn't get the house back, he would sell it to those people and they could buy it again.
"You two should prepare. I'm also planning to buy another house. The current one isn't big enough. When the children grow up and start their own families, they'll need their own houses. Huaiyuan, Jiuru, if you're looking for a house, help me find one, too."
"Master, this is no problem."
"Yes, we want to invite you to our restaurant tomorrow to celebrate."
"Okay, our whole family will go on time."
After making an agreement, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru personally sent Mr. Song and the others out of the family compound.
“I want to retire, too.”
After sending the Song family away, Qiao Jiuru couldn't help but tell her husband that she could retire at the age of 58, but the school wouldn't let her go.
"The school is short on people right now. Wait a little longer. I guess they'll let you in when you're sixty."
Su Huaiyuan had long known his wife's thoughts. After she was rehabilitated, she didn't want to work. If it weren't for the reform and opening up, she wouldn't have wanted to persist.
Seeing that the transformation and storm that 깊妻떚 had mentioned was imminent, she could no longer hold back. Unfortunately, the school was short of professors and teachers, and there was no way for the new generation to take over.
"If they don't let me go this year, I'll have to apply to take some classes. If I don't drop out next year, I'll definitely drop out the year after."
Qiao Jiuru had already made up her mind. She also knew that the school would not let her go, but if they didn't, she could only apply to take some classes.
Anyway, she is old and lacks energy.
Su Huaiyuan nodded. Even if he didn't arrange some classes, he would have to attend half a day that day, unlike the previous few days when the mornings and afternoons were full of classes.
"Right, let's go take a look at the two apartments Guangsheng and Xiaolei introduced tomorrow, shall we? If they're suitable, we'll take one and give the other to the master."
"Okay."
Over the past year, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru have quietly built two more courtyards and a small courtyard. Now, their family has six houses and five shops.
Qiao Jiuru wasn't worried about having no houses to sell. Even if there were no siheyuan houses, he could just wait for the commercial housing to come out. As long as he had money, why would he worry about not being able to buy a house or a shop?!
