918: Restoration of the Siheyuan
The two held their wedding less than half a year after their engagement.
Shao Xia moved into Jia Zan's two-bedroom, one-living-room house in the Construction Bureau's staff quarters, and lived with Jia Zan and his son Jia Le.
Married life is sweeter and warmer than one can imagine.
For the first time in his life, Jia Zan experienced the taste of happiness. Soon after the marriage, Shao Xia became pregnant. The following year, she gave birth to a daughter, and Jia Zan became a father again.
At this time, the real estate industry in Beijing began to show signs of taking off.
Yu Xiaoye quickly pulled Shao Xia along, and the two of them set up a real estate company and started hoarding land. They first bought the plots of land with more potential in Beijing, and when the time was right, they started building residential communities.
In a short period of time, Yu Xiaoye used the funds he had to hoard six pieces of land.
Yu Xiaoye felt relieved after getting several pieces of land in excellent locations. She put the land aside and set up a pharmaceutical company. According to her original plan, she would start with traditional Chinese medicine and health products.
At this time, Yu Zhengxian's deer farm had grown to a certain scale, and the number of fawns in it had grown to about 200. In the past two years, they went back to the mountains of Northeast China to buy several batches of deer. The deer herd quickly grew, and the adult male deer could be harvested for antlers. Yu Xiaoye began to develop deer products.
She resigned directly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and devoted herself to her career. She also set up a research and development team. Soon, health products mainly made from deer antlers, deer glue, deer blood paste, deer tendons, deer bones, deer brain, and deer tails began to be launched on the market.
It just happened that people's living standards began to gradually improve, and everyone began to pay attention to health preservation. These products, as the first batch of nutritional health products in the country, quickly occupied the virgin territory of the health products market.
After nutritional health products laid a solid foundation for pharmaceutical companies, Yu Xiaoye began to develop other drugs, including Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and other medical equipment.
It happened that Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory, the largest pharmaceutical factory in Beijing, was in poor management and suffered heavy losses. Yu Xiaoye promptly invested in Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory and became the largest shareholder of Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory through equity confirmation. He began to produce drugs developed by his own team and soon turned the seriously loss-making Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory into a profitable one, and it became prosperous again.
Yu Xiaoye also eliminated a batch of decades-old equipment from the old Qingtai Pharmaceutical Factory and replaced them with equipment developed by his own team, greatly improving the productivity and product stability of the pharmaceutical factory.
Yu Xiaoye was like a bamboo that had been accumulating energy for a long time. He spent several years slowly accumulating energy underground without attracting attention.
Once spring comes, the bamboo breaks through the soil and grows upward at an astonishing speed. By the time others discover the bamboo, it has grown into a towering giant.
Her pharmaceutical company and real estate company were just like this. They were unknown when no one else noticed them, but when they became famous, they were far ahead of others.
Others can’t catch up even if they want to.
After the pharmaceutical factory and real estate company, she founded a film company and began making her own films.
Her connections and reputation in the film industry are also very good, and she has been successful in everything she does. In recent years, any script she wrote and filmed according to her ideas has become a hit, and she has made many male and female actors famous.
Many of these actors are her students. Some of them are even older than her, but they also respectfully call her teacher.
So as long as Yu Xiaoye gave a call, his former colleagues and students would come to help. Yu Xiaoye quickly formed his own team and started shooting a new movie. He specially invited Jia Zan to be a consultant for his film company.
At this point, the initial construction of the three things Yu Xiaoye wanted to do has been completed.
What she needs to do in the future is to further develop and expand her small boat, and slowly let her pharmaceutical, film, and real estate businesses go beyond the capital, go to the whole country, and in the future go to the world, and become three giant ships that everyone is paying attention to.
There was also good news from the old couple of the Yu family. They finally bought their first courtyard house in Beijing!
This is the one they have been living in.
Previously, this courtyard was confiscated by the government and later returned to an individual. However, the owner of this courtyard decided to go abroad and wanted to sell the courtyard to completely cut off his ties with this place.
The price of selling a house is astronomical in this era, 20,000!
Few people can afford this kind of money.
But Xu Ying can afford it!
In the past few years, Xu Ying continued to run her fish business, and it grew bigger and bigger. She rented a factory and built a cold storage.
From then on, they could catch tons of fish, put them directly into cold storage, and then sell them.
In this way, Xu Ying's profit can be imagined. She became the first person in the family to make money and the one who made money the fastest.
In just a few years, he had saved up 60,000 yuan.
A courtyard house cost 20,000 yuan, and she took it out without blinking an eye. It was really a great house that she couldn't ask for. Not to mention 20,000 yuan, she would buy it for 200,000 yuan!
After buying the house, the two of them asked everyone living in the front and back yards to leave, and those who could find housing demolished all the illegal houses in the yard, including the small kitchen they had built under the corridor.
As soon as the built house was dismantled, the original layout was immediately restored. The entire three-in-one courtyard became regular and looked particularly pleasing and spacious.
However, after all, it is very old, and many residents do not cherish or take care of it, resulting in damage everywhere, and some walls have begun to tilt.
Yu Jiahui hired craftsmen to restore the courtyard. They replaced the tiles, reinforced the brick walls, repainted the exterior with whitewash, repaired all the damaged doors and windows, and re-tiled the courtyard floor, using as much original brick as possible to preserve its original appearance, replacing new bricks when they ran out. After six months of restoration, the courtyard finally regained its former splendor, a stark contrast to the still crowded and dilapidated courtyards around it.
After the courtyard was restored, Yu Jiahui took out all the antiques he had collected over the years and placed them in the rooms in the front and back yards, which indeed formed a small private museum.
This is the first Spring Festival after the courtyard was renovated.
In order to celebrate the fact that his parents finally realized their wish and bought the entire courtyard house, Yu Xiaoye decided to make two large fireworks to celebrate for his parents.
Borrowing a military factory under Zhou Ziheng, he began to research
Fireworks with Chinese characters appearing in them.
This technology may seem like a piece of cake and not worth mentioning to people fifty years from now, but it was still a difficult problem in the 1980s.
After repeated experiments and two months, Yu Xiaoye finally figured out the principle of making fireworks form Chinese characters.
Design the words and fonts that need to be presented, and then start production.
Finally, the two fireworks were completed before the Spring Festival.
A large truck was used to place the fireworks in the courtyard of the Yu family's courtyard.
Since buying the courtyard house and demolishing the structures in the yard, the yard has become much more spacious. Every day, Pang Ya takes her second and third brothers, her fourth brother who was born a few years ago, her younger brother Changning, and her younger sister who was born later by her aunt, as well as Pang Ya's only younger sister, Xiao Qimei, to play around in and out of the yard.
Xiaoqimei was born after Zhengzheng and was the seventh child in the family, so everyone called him Xiaoqi and his brothers and sisters called him Qimei.
When Yu Xiaoye placed two large fireworks in the middle of the yard, he told Pang Ya:
"Pangya, keep an eye on your younger brothers and sisters. Don't let them touch the fireworks, especially Zhengzheng and Xiaoqi."
"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely keep an eye on it and not let anyone get close!"
Now Pang Ya is in the third grade of primary school. She has grown into a grown-up girl. She is a little thinner than before, but her mighty and domineering aura has not diminished at all. She has gradually become the big sister in this alley, and everyone listens to her orders at home and outside.
Her younger brothers and sisters also obeyed her authority.
After instructing Pang Ya to watch the fireworks, Xu Ying, who was chopping stuffing for dumplings, called out to Yu Erye:
“Second brother, second brother!”
"Hey, Mom, I'm here!"
Yu Erye came out of the vegetable cellar in the backyard carrying two large cabbages.
"Go to your Uncle Shen's house and call your eldest brother, his wife, and your Uncle Shen over. Come over early and help me make dumplings. Cuihua and I alone can't handle it. There are so many mouths to feed!"
"Oh, I'll put down the cabbage and go right away!"
Zhou Ziheng took off his gloves and went into the house to wash his hands:
"Mom, let me help you roll out the dough. I'm also here tonight to celebrate the New Year."
Xu Ying smiled and said:
"I still remember that your skill in rolling out dough was amazing. I ate dumplings made with your dough in Northeast China back then, but I haven't had them since I came to Beijing."
