NOVEL NEXT Chapter 117
In the calm, time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed, and it was soon December 1954.
In the past year, many things had happened, some of which had a great impact on He Daqing's steamed bun shop and Chen Xueru's silk shop. On
July 27 last year, the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement marked the end of the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and the entire city was plunged into a sea of celebration.
After two years and nine months of arduous and bloody fighting, the Chinese and North Korean troops finally defeated the well-armed opponents, broke the myth of the invincibility of the U.S. military, and forced the arrogant invaders to sign the armistice agreement.
This battle has won the peace of the country and the country!
This battle has brought out the spirit of the Chinese people!
This battle has made all countries in the world look at our country with new eyes!
The great victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is a declaration of the Chinese people standing up and standing in the east of the world. It is also an important milestone for our country to move towards great rejuvenation. It has great and far-reaching significance for our country and even the whole world.
However, few people know that in this war, more than 197,000 Chinese soldiers were buried in foreign lands, sacrificing their precious lives for the motherland, the people and peace.
Behind the national celebration, there are also unspeakable grief in more than 100,000 families. In
August, the superior issued an"Emergency Notice on Increasing Production, Increasing Income, Practicing Strict Economy, Tightening Expenditure and Balancing the National Budget", encouraging everyone to increase production and be frugal.
Since then, weddings and funerals have been simplified and no longer as grand as before.
In October, the superior passed the"Resolution on the Planned Purchase and Planned Supply of Grain".
A month later, the"Decision on Implementing Planned Purchase of Oil in the Country" was made.
In the same month, the state implemented planned purchase and supply of cotton and cotton cloth.
All of these are necessary transitional policies adopted when materials are relatively scarce.
Especially in important aspects such as grain, cotton and oil that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, market speculation has been completely banned, thereby cutting off the economic ties between the bourgeoisie and the peasants, and starting to lay out and prepare for the social transformation of capital industry and commerce.
The implementation of this series of policies has caused the entire Daqianmen business district to fall into a slump. Many shops have been greatly affected by the supply of goods, and some have even closed down. For example, the vegetable market, grain and oil store, etc., have been directly taken over by the higher authorities.
It is impossible for He Daqing to purchase thousands of eggs every day as before.
Even if he purchases from Qinjiazhuang, he can only receive one or two thousand every day. The turnover of the store has dropped by more than half compared with before.
As for Chen Xueru's silk shop, because of the support of Zhenyuan Textile Factory, the goods are sufficient, and the business is not only not affected, but also prosperous. However,
He Daqing also knows that this prosperity is only temporary. Once the policies above are tightened, it will not be easy to get goods from Zhenyuan Textile Factory in the name of foreign trade as it is now.
In February of this year, the higher authorities officially passed the"Provisional Regulations on Public-Private Joint Industrial Enterprises", marking the official start of public-private joint ventures across the country. It is no longer like before, focusing on important factories for public-private joint ventures.
However, according to the order of priority, the current public-private partnership is still mainly for large, medium and small factories. For ordinary shops, there is no mandatory public-private partnership for the time being, and it is mainly encouraged.
The result is obvious.
No one is willing to give up their industry.
Therefore, even though nearly a thousand shops on Qianmen Street have been notified, no one is willing to be the first to conduct public-private partnership after more than half a year.
Of course, in addition to major national events.
He Daqing's family has also changed slightly.
First of all, He Daqing has completely handed over the bun shop to Sha Zhu and his wife. Now, in addition to taking care of the accounts every day, he has handed over everything else, such as cooking tea eggs, steaming buns, selling buns, selling tea eggs, etc., to Sha Zhu and his wife.
The second thing. It is also related to Sha Zhu and his wife.
The boy and girl, youthful admiration, eating and living together every day, and having an engagement, it is inevitable that they will make some small mistakes.
So, on a dark and windy night, the two slept together.
He Daqing and the others turned a blind eye to this. After all, they arranged for Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu to live together on the second floor of the bun shop, and they had this idea in mind. Now it is expected that the couple will make some small mistakes.
Who would have thought that Sha Zhu was so awesome that Qin Huairu got pregnant only three months after the couple tasted the forbidden fruit.
Chen Xueru was so envious that she didn't get out of bed for several days.
Qin Huairu was pregnant.
He Daqing naturally couldn't sit idly by and spent some money to change Sha Zhu's age to one year older, so that the two of them could get their marriage certificate directly and hold a wedding for them.
Of course, because the higher-ups were advocating frugality, Sha Zhu's wedding was not a big deal. They just set up two tables, invited Qin Shouyi's family, Guan Yushan and others to have a meal, and gave some wedding candies to the neighbors.
In this way.
Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu finally achieved their goal and became a legal couple.
At the same time, it also solved a problem that He Daqing was worried about. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
The third thing was related to He Daqing's great uncle He Yongchang from Hong Kong Island.
More than a year ago, after he got the contact information of He Yongchang, his great uncle from Hong Kong Island, from Zhang Rongcheng in Foshan, he wrote a letter to the other party with the idea of trying his luck.
As a result, two or three months passed, and he did not receive a reply.
It was not until more than three months later that he was ready to give up, and finally received a letter from Hong Kong Island.
In the letter, He Yongchang, He Daqing's great uncle, was very excited about his letter. He not only strongly invited He Daqing and his family to go to Hong Kong Island, but also remitted him 30,000 yuan, asking He Daqing to burn more paper money for his brother, He Daqing's grandfather.[]
It can only be said that He Yongchang's family really made it in Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, with the average monthly salary of tens of Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island, it would be strange to give 30,000 yuan to relatives from the mainland who have never met or even don't know whether they are real or fake.
Of course, He Daqing is more inclined to believe that He Yongchang has sent people to Foshan to investigate.
Otherwise, without knowing whether He Daqing is real or fake, He Yongchang, no matter how rich he is, would not send a check for 30,000 yuan casually.
Even this 30,000 yuan is very likely to be exchanged by He Yongchang temporarily.
He Yongchang's money.
He Daqing naturally wouldn't want it, after all, he didn't need the 100,000 yuan.
What he cared about was He Yongchang's relationship in Hong Kong Island.
So he sent the check back to show that he was not short of money.
Because He Daqing was not sure whether the letter would be intercepted or checked, he didn't dare to say a lot of things, let alone want to take his family to Hong Kong Island.
He just joked that if he really wanted to go to Hong Kong Island in the future, he hoped that his uncle He Yongchang could provide some help at that time.
Since then.
He Daqing got in touch with his uncle's family in Hong Kong Island, and they would communicate every once in a while. On the one hand, they wanted to get closer to each other, and on the other hand, they wanted to understand the current situation in Hong Kong Island and prepare for going to Hong Kong Island.
As for the last thing.
It was his cheap brother Cai Quanwu, who fled to Sijiucheng with his mother.
The time was half a year after He Yongqiang got married.
He Daqing did not turn away this cheap brother.
The same thing.
Since he occupied He Daqing's body, he must bear the cause and effect of He Daqing.
Although he also looked down on He Daqing's scumbag father, Cai Quanwu was He Daqing's younger brother after all, and he had a sick mother.
How could He Daqing 207 turn a blind eye?
He thought about it, and finally settled Cai Quanwu and the others in the original courtyard, and paid for Cai Quanwu's mother to see a doctor. Finally, considering that Cai Quanwu did not have a household registration in Sijiucheng, he let him work as a helper in the bun shop and gave him fifty yuan a month.
And Cai Quanwu is also a hardworking and grateful master.
He worked hard every day, and together with Sha Zhu, he completely supported the bun shop, so He Daqing no longer had to work.
In his spare time, he rode the bun shop's tricycle to carry people and goods, so that he could pay back the money he owed He Daqing as soon as possible, and save money to marry a wife, so that his mother could live a good life. As for the scumbag father of his predecessor?
According to Cai Quanwu, he ran away with a widow named Su several years ago. It is said that he went to Suzhou. He didn't know where he was now.
He Daqing didn't care about this.
On the contrary, after hearing about this, Guan Shan and Zheng Wentian couldn't help cursing, saying that He Daqing's scumbag father was a piece of shit.
At the end, he didn't forget to give Cai Quanwu a few hundred yuan, asking him to take good care of Cai, and if he had any problems in the future, he could just come to them directly.
Of course, in addition to the above four things, there are some other miscellaneous small things.
For example, in the past year or so, he has exchanged a lot of large and small yellow croakers from Xinbaozhai, and bought a lot of good things from underground auctions.
After so much hard work, his cooking skills have been improved to perfection, and he is only one step away from becoming a master chef.
Unfortunately, this step seems to be within reach, but it is actually far away.
Unless he can make certain innovations and changes on the existing basis and reach the point where he can establish his own school, he can only be regarded as a master chef, not a master chef. After all, the word"master" does not represent a state of mind, but an honor!.
