448 Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West



448 Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west

Su Taotao was ashamed, she only wanted to make money by taking advantage of the trend, while Fu Yuanhang received the traditional education of this era and inherited the character of the Fu family. His starting point was always for the country, the people and the country.

She felt inferior to him.

But no matter what the starting point was, their goal was the same, which was to contribute to the development of socialism.

"It's good that you know what you want. We all support you."

Fu Yuanhang smiled with his eyes bent.

His sister-in-law has always been his guiding light. With her, he will never get lost.

Chenchen raised his little head and asked, "Mom, what about me? What will I do in the future?"

Su Taotao rubbed the child's head: "Don't worry, you still need time, think slowly, and tell us when you think of it."

Chenchen actually had ideas when he was "young" (when he was three years old), such as designing a big ship to go out to sea to find his grandfather, or designing an airplane to fly into the sky so that he would no longer have to squeeze into the stinky train.

As he grew older, he began to find that his ideas were immature. Even if he designed a ship or an airplane, it would not be easy to manufacture it. Even if he manufactured it, he had to hand it in. It was not his origami, so he could not claim it as his own.

Even if he could claim it as his own, he could only follow a fixed route after learning to fly a ship or an airplane, and he could not go wherever he wanted.

The more Chenchen knew, the more difficulties he found, and the more he knew that he couldn't do whatever he wanted, so he became a little discouraged:

"Okay, Mom, I don't want to grow up anymore."

Su Taotao hugged the child in her arms: "Silly child, do you think you've gotten better now? Mom never thought that I would be able to take the college entrance examination and have a second chance to choose my destiny. Things will only get better and better in the future.

Your era has not officially begun yet. Believe me, Mom. Chenchen just needs to grow up well and welcome the prosperous era that belongs to you."

Chenchen's discouragement came and went quickly, and was soon put behind him.

If mom gets admitted to a university in the capital, they will follow her to the capital. It is bigger and more prosperous there, and he will know more, or he may have different ideas in the future?

"Mom, I want to go to the zoo today to celebrate that you don't have to do the test paper anymore!"

"Okay, let's go to the zoo. We will leave after we pack up."

Su Taotao drove herself today. She originally planned to take them around the city. Since Chenchen wanted to go to the zoo, let's go. Just

as they were about to leave, the old lady from last time came again.

Judging from the sound, there was more than one person this time.

"Here, here, here, Director Hao, it's right. It's empty and no one lives here. You know the living conditions in our house. My eldest sister-in-law is going back to the city soon. By then, there won't be enough space for us to sleep or even stand."

Director Hao was speechless: "This is a private residence, not a public house. How can you live here whenever you want? People have to be willing to rent it to you."

Director Hao was also convinced by the eldest lady. He went to the street three times a day to make trouble and forced them to solve the housing problem.

"You can't say that. As the saying goes, 'All under heaven belongs to the king.' So the blue sky and white clouds, every brick and tile, every tree and soil, don't they belong to the country? Can't they be redistributed if they are unfairly distributed?

If there were people living in them, I wouldn't say anything. But now there is obviously no one living here, it's just empty. Why can't we live here?

Besides, we are not living here for free. I don't believe that the leaders will watch these houses sit here empty and let us sleep on the streets!"

You know what, the aunt said was quite sophisticated. Even Su Taotao almost thought it made sense. It was her fault for not giving up the house.

Director Hao sighed and said, "Aunt Li, if you had said this a few years earlier, someone might have helped you. Don't you know what the situation is now?

The college entrance examination has been restored, and things have changed a lot. Many of the houses that were originally reclaimed have been returned to individuals, not to mention these houses that originally belonged to individuals.

Not to mention a small bungalow like this, even if someone has a large yard of several acres of land that is vacant and uninhabited, it is also private property. No one can move in without the owner's consent. You, don't be jealous."

Director Hao rarely spoke so earnestly.

In those days, there were indeed malicious reports like the aunt, and the house was reclaimed and the reporter was able to move in.

That chaos was finally over, and seeing that life is getting better and better, it can't be chaotic again.

"Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. I know the situation in your family very well. What do you mean a family of eight living in one room? Isn't your room usually occupied by you and your wife?

Your daughters and sons all have jobs and usually live in the dormitory. When they come back for a break, they squeeze together to have a meal and eight people live in one room? Isn't that the case with every family these days? Then don't my family have more than ten people living in one room?"

Aunt Li still didn't give up: "No, Director Hao, hasn't my son been dating someone recently? They're getting married soon, so he can't move into a single dormitory with his wife and children, right?

And my eldest sister-in-law went to the countryside in the 1970s. She finally came back this year, so she must have a place to stay, right?

This house is obviously empty here, and you are just... What's wrong with helping us out and letting us live there for a while?

It's not like we won't return it. We'll just give it back when the conditions are right in the future."

Director Hao was so angry that he laughed: "I've never heard of this kind of thing where a meat bun hits a dog and it can't be turned back. Do you think I'm the king and I have the final say on everything?

Aunt Li, every family has its own rules and the country has its own regulations. We have to implement what the superiors say. If you keep making trouble like this, they will call the police and you will be the ones to be held accountable.

Okay, okay, whose family is not like this? Who doesn't have one or two educated youth who went to the countryside? Think of other ways, don't keep staring at other people's houses."

Su Taotao originally planned to go out and argue with her, but she didn't expect that the staff of the street office were quite clear-headed and directly persuaded Aunt Li to leave.

"Ah Hang, collect the title deed, keys, and some valuables and take them away. It's not safe to leave them here."

Fu Yuanhang nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, the teacher is incorruptible. I don't have any valuables, only some calligraphy and paintings and ornaments."

Su Taotao thought, these things are not worth much now, but they will be priceless in the future.

"Take them."

Fu Yuanhang thought for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law, will we come back in the future?"

Su Taotao shook her head: "It's hard to say. Things change over time. It's not certain that this place will develop better in the future, and it's not certain that it will come back."

After the reform and opening up, the cities in the south developed the fastest and best.

Fu Yuanhang said nothing more and quietly went in to pack his things.
