The person who handled the house deed for Pian Ye was the deputy director of the Housing Management Office, named Zheng Yi.
When Jia Dongsheng first heard this name, he was stunned. Zheng Yi, justice, this does not fit what he does.
Although it is still possible to buy and sell houses privately nowadays, the review is still very strict. However, after Pian Ye brought Jia Dongsheng over, Zheng Yi just glanced at Jia Dongsheng indifferently, and then took the house deed to transfer the ownership.
There is no intention to review it at all.
"Dongsheng, Director Zheng is also a major customer of our pills. He buys six or seven pills every month."
While waiting for the deed to be processed, Pian Ye introduced Jia Dongsheng: "If you still have questions about buying and selling houses, you can come to him. This time, I will give you two pills for free when you process the deed."
Okay, I understand.
Although it cannot be considered as bribery, it is not a very glorious method either. However, this is the main way of communication in a society based on human relationships.
If you give people benefits and they help you, things will be done.
"Mr. Pian, if you vacate the house for me right away, won't you have nowhere to live?"
Jia Dongsheng asked curiously, "Where will you live then?"
"Hey, I've already gotten a letter of introduction from the street office. Let my wife stay at the guesthouse for a few days. I'm taking the train to the Northeast tonight."
It seems that Pian Ye had already made plans, and he didn't want to delay this money-making business for even a minute.
"Why don't you just stay in that house for a few days? There's no need to bother going to the guesthouse. I won't stay there anyway."
Jia Dongsheng is optimistic about Pian Ye's business this time, so he wants to make good connections if possible.
"Dongsheng, I'm very touched by your words, but our house is sold, and it's sold. I can't take advantage of you anymore."
"If this happened to Uncle Three, he would definitely agree to it." Jia Dongsheng joked.
"Well, he'll have to agree."
It can be seen that Pian Ye really disdains to mention Yan Fugui.
While the two were chatting, less than twenty minutes had passed when Zheng Yi came out with a piece of paper, handed it to Pian Ye, and then turned around and went back without saying a word.
Pian Ye didn't care, but held up the deed and said excitedly: "Dongsheng, take a look?"
"Okay."
Speaking of which, Jia Dongsheng already has several house deeds in his hands, including a five-courtyard house near the Forbidden City, a three-courtyard house near Liulichang, a one-courtyard house in Jinyu Hutong, and now a three-courtyard house near Qianmen, plus the two rooms bought in the Siheyuan. Needless to say, he has the freedom to own a house.
"Okay, Mr. Pian, there's no problem with the title deed. I'll give you the money right away."
As he said that, he took out 20,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Pian Ye: "Please count it. This will be considered as clearing the money and goods here."
"Dongsheng, how can I not believe you?"
Pian Ye showed great trust in Jia Dongsheng, who had said that he would lend him one or two thousand yuan to live on, and put the money directly into his pocket without any hesitation.
"Ha ha."
Faced with this scene, Jia Dongsheng laughed out loud. There was nothing he could do about it. The feeling of being trusted by others was really good.
The two then returned to the Qianmen courtyard and made the final handover. Pian Ye handed all the keys to the house to Jia Dongsheng, then hired a tricycle, loaded the couple's luggage, and left.
No furniture or anything else in the yard was taken away.
Jia Dongsheng entered the yard and checked it carefully. There was no change in the yard. The furniture in the house were all old items as Pian Ye said, but they were not worth much.
It’s just because the material used to make the furniture is not good wood, but Jia Dongsheng doesn’t care. If you want antique furniture, just go to a credit store to buy it. There is plenty of it there, and the wood is good and cheap.
There was one thing that Jia Dongsheng was not satisfied with.
There was no hidden wealth under the courtyard, otherwise he would have made another fortune.
But there is no need to rush now. Wait until 1966, when the wealth underground will increase dramatically. Many things will be buried underground for fear of being confiscated.
Although there are still quite a lot of them now, Jia Dongsheng doesn't want to plunder the land twice. After all, it requires measuring the entire city of Beijing. It will be the most convenient and labor-saving to wait until 1966 to take them all away at once.
Lock the gate of the courtyard house. No one will come here again in the short term. This house is our family fortune after we bought it. We can only move in after the reform and opening up.
Before the reform and opening up, we can’t leave the masses!
When Jia Dongsheng returned to the courtyard on his bicycle, he saw several large bones on his handlebars. These were tiger bones he had taken out from the homestay.
In the evening, I made a big pot of tiger bone soup, which could not only provide some nutrition for Qin Jingru, but also replenish the energy for her martial arts practice, and also satisfy her cravings, making it the best of all three.
"Dongsheng, where did you buy this big bone?"
When I got home, Jia Zhang was in the house listening to crosstalk on the radio and mending shoe soles.
Autumn is coming soon, and she has already started making autumn shoes. It is time to be busy again.
Speaking of which, although Jia Zhang stayed at home, her life was not easy. The whole family wore shoes made by her in spring and autumn.
"Hey, I just saw it at the pigeon market and bought it."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "Mom, these aren't pork bones or cow bones, but tiger bones. They're more nourishing than other bones. I'll make some big bone soup and some big bone noodles tonight. You can eat more."
"Tiger bones?"
Jia Zhang's eyes lit up. She has always been very active in supplementing nutrition.
