"I'm driving here today, not the branch's car. When my car arrives, you can just arrange for someone to take me to the Sucheng government agency staff quarters.
By the way, please mention it when you apply. It doesn’t matter what brand it is, but it must be a sedan.”
The only Red Flag sedan should be the one allocated by the General Administration to Lu Kai. Yang Baiyi did not move it, as he was a little tired of driving the jeep.
"Okay, Director Yang, with your level, we can satisfy you with any car you want."
On the way back, Yang Baiyi couldn't help humming a song. He would soon have a car, a house and a wife.
The National Security Bureau responded quickly, and five days later, a brand new Hongqi sedan was delivered to the agency's staff housing compound.
It has black paint, a streamlined body, and is equipped with the world's most advanced engine, which is full of power.
"Grandson, your car is much better looking than mine."
In fact, the Suzhou government also has cars, but they were imported from the Russians in the past. After the relationship became tense, local government agencies rarely drove them.
The boycott at that time was not just empty talk, but a united determination from top to bottom across the country.
Although they were still very backward in all aspects, their backbone and national pride were completely incomparable to what later generations could achieve.
"Grandpa, let's take turns driving. I'm more used to driving a jeep. It can adapt to various road conditions and is durable."
Although Yang Baiyi was also tired of driving the jeep, after hearing what Xiao Qingyang said, he still planned to give the new car to Xiao Qingyang.
Compared to a jeep, a sedan is definitely more comfortable to sit in.
Everything can wait, except filial piety.
"No need, my Jeep is fine. Grandpa doesn't usually travel far. The farthest he goes is to Jinling for a meeting. You young people should drive the new car."
For the elders, it is good enough that the younger generations have this intention. If the eldest grandson really likes to drive a jeep, the superiors will definitely not give him a Hongqi car.
At present, the domestic automobile production line is still immature, and many parts need to be manually made by senior fitters.
Now only the people in Beijing have been equipped with it, and it has not yet been popularized among provincial leaders.
I gave this car to my eldest grandson, and I don’t know whose spot I took away.
"Okay, I'll drive first. When you go to Jinling for a meeting, you can ask the driver to come and drive you.
It takes three hours to drive to Jinling, so it would definitely be much more comfortable to take a car."
We are all family, the new car is at home, whoever needs it can drive it.
After handing over the renovation of the villa to Liu Da, Yang Baiyi went there once a week to check the progress of the renovation and pay everyone's wages.
Four weeks later, the renovation of Jinyun Villa was completed two days earlier than Yang Baiyi's requirements.
When Yang Baiyi arrived at Jinyun Villa, Liu Da brought all the craftsmen, big and small, and gathered at the gate of the villa, waiting for Yang Baiyi's inspection.
"Leader, after everyone's hard work, we finally completed it within a month. Please come in and take a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, we will make corrections."
As soon as the Hongqi car stopped, Liu Da came up and helped Yang Baiyi open the car door.
"Okay, take me in to have a look."
The vermilion gate had obviously been repainted, and the rows of huge copper nails on it were polished to a shine.
Walking into the gate, Yang Baiyi discovered that the bluestone road, which was originally covered with moss, had been brushed clean by the craftsmen with brushes, and it was so shiny that you could see a mirror in it.
In the gardens on both sides, the flowers and trees have been carefully trimmed and the weeds have been cleared away.
In the pond in the middle of the courtyard, the silt and dead leaves have been cleared away, and the water inside is so clear that you can see schools of small fish swimming by.
On the pond, a nine-curve bridge connects the water pavilion in the middle, and the damaged fences have been reinforced.
Yang Xiaoxiao is not an honest child, and Xiao Junyi is about to run away. Yang Baiyi specifically told Liu Da that the fence around the pond must be strong enough.
After crossing the Nine-Curve Bridge, Yang Baiyi entered the main house. The mahogany furniture inside was spotlessly clean and neatly arranged. The calligraphy and paintings on the wall had also been reframed, giving it a more quaint and elegant look.
Yang Baiyi nodded with satisfaction and said to Liu Da, "Well done. I'm very satisfied."
Liu Da smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, this is the result of everyone's hard work."
Yang Baiyi took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Liu Da, "This is the remaining wages, you can share it with everyone."
"Leader, you gave too much."
Although Liu Da had not received much education, the salary for a skilled worker was one dollar and a half a day, while that for an unskilled worker was one dollar a day. This was an easy calculation, and Yang Baiyi obviously gave more.
"Everyone has worked hard, this is the bonus given to everyone by our unit.
Let me tell you, I am very satisfied with their craftsmanship and I will look for them again if I need any work in the future."
After saying that, Yang Baiyi walked out of the main hall and planned to leave Jinyun Villa.
"Leader, what about me? Do I need to stay here forever?"
Liu Da already considered himself a regular employee, although he still didn't know what kind of unit Yang Baiyi was talking about.
"No, you can just go back with them. Just ensure the daily maintenance of the villa. You don't have to stay here every day."
Yang Baiyi drove back along the winding mountain road. Tomorrow is the weekend and the whole family doesn't have to go to work, so it's a good time to invite the whole family to visit the villa.
Stay in the villa for a night, taste the game, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and relax.
During dinner, Yang Baiyi formally extended an invitation to his grandfather's family, and everyone readily agreed.
After dinner, Mu Xue put on her glasses and wrote something on paper with a pen.
"What are you writing about? You're already retired, and you're still demanding progress!"
Xiao Qingyang was a little surprised. Since her husband retired, he rarely asked her to write anything so seriously.
"Our eldest grandson is moving into a new house, so we have to prepare some gifts. We can't take it lightly."
When a child is separated from his parents and moves in to live on his own, the elders in the family will usually give him a set of pots, pans, and a few other things with good meanings as gifts.
This has nothing to do with superstition, it is just the good wishes and expectations of the elders for the younger generations.
"I'll arrange some work in a couple of days, and then we'll go to Luoshui City to discuss the marriages of our two children with Brother Lin."
The house has been completed, and it is time to officially put the marriage of Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru on the agenda.
"You two were the first couple in our group of educated youth to start dating, and now it's finally coming to fruition."
Zhou Fengying held her son in her arms and looked at Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru with emotion.
The next day, Xiao Qingyang's family and Yang Baiyi drove two cars and left early.
Mu Xue brought enough money and prepared to go to the department store to do some shopping for her eldest grandson.
Yang Baiyi said several times that there were pots, pans, and utensils ready in the villa, but Mu Xue still ignored the advice and bought another set.
I bought a few pounds of apples and wished my eldest grandson good health.
I bought two pieces of sugarcane to wish my eldest grandson a prosperous future.
I bought rice, flour, grain and oil, wishing my eldest grandson would have enough food and drink.
…
As long as it was something interesting, Mu Xue bought them all.
If the trunk capacity wasn't limited, who knows how much stuff he would buy.
