Chapter 400 Raising Funds to Build a House (Part 1) (Second Update!)

Wei Xiaofan didn't know Yin Jun's real meaning, but thought that Xiangjiang was much more prosperous than the mainland, so he invited his girlfriend to play.

After thinking for a while, Li Danmin shook his head regretfully, "Forget it, I'm afraid I don't have time this year... My third cousin, fifth cousin, and big hall brother all came back from the countryside in Yunguichuan. The two families should be lively and lively, I can’t say I’m going to Xiangjiang, can I?

Wei Xiaofan was overjoyed when he heard it: "Haha, maybe they don't dare? Last time they tried to get me drunk, but I got me drunk instead!"

"You still say! Just drink more than a catty of Moutai like this, and you are not afraid that your liver will not be able to bear it! I have to say hello to them, and I can't just drink it when I see a good wine. How can this work?" Li Danmin pouted. .

She also understood that some of her cousins ​​originally wanted to test Wei Xiaofan's wine quality, but unexpectedly, Wei Xiaofan came out with a box of 12 bottles of Moutai.

How many ordinary people in this era have drunk Moutai? And it's such an unlimited drink!

As a result, these cousins ​​not only tried their best to drink Wei Xiaofan's wine, but also tried their best to drink it themselves. Naturally, they drank a mess, and the whole room smelled of alcohol.

After laughing, Wei Xiaofan said, "Speaking of which, your regiment insists on letting me go there today, what is the reason?"

"I don't know either." Li Danmin shook her head, then raised her hand to look at the time, "It's already 4 o'clock, let's go there quickly! Tonight my mother made delicious stew, so I want you to go back early!"

"okay!"

Wei Xiaofan nodded, raised his hand to ask the waiter to pay the bill, and took Li Danmin out of the coffee shop of this foreign-related hotel.

There are not many places where you can drink coffee in Lin'an now. After all, Li Danmin is a young man, and after coming here for coffee a few times, he also likes this kind of atmosphere.

After you get tired from singing Kunqu opera, come here to sit with Wei Xiaofan and drink a cup of bitter and sweet coffee, which can relax your body and mind.

But the price here is not cheap. A cup of coffee can be sold for 6 yuan, and you can’t pay in RMB. If you drink a cup, you will lose one-tenth of your salary.

Because of this, Li Danmin asked Wei Xiaofan to bring him here at most once a week, and the rest of the time, he either went to the store to buy antique calligraphy and paintings with Wei Xiaofan, went to watch a movie, or went to a teahouse where the big bowl of tea was cheap , Mao a pot, add water as you like.

The foreign-related hotel is not far from the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, and it takes only 20 minutes to walk there.

When entering the head's office, Li Danmin found that several leaders were there.

Team leader Zhang Fangqin, deputy team leader Tian Chengping, deputy team leader Gao Hong, and team leader Ge Dexin were talking in low voices.

Seeing Wei Xiaofan and Li Danmin coming in, they quickly stopped talking, stood up one by one, and greeted Wei Xiaofan with smiles on their faces.

Wei Xiaofan has been to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe many times. He waited for people outside the door for the first half a month, and then waited inside in a grandiose manner.

However, Wei Xiaofan did not pay a price. He donated more than 100 sets of Kunqu opera costumes to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, all of which were custom-made from Xiangjiang. He spent more than 30,000 yuan.

The benefits of doing this are also obvious. Not only is no one blocking him, but someone often informs him, and people from the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe often speak well of Wei Xiaofan in front of Li Danmin, giving him a good assist.

After a while of politeness, Tian Chengping, who was the most eloquent, smiled and said, "Manager Wei, I heard that you and Xiaodan are getting close soon? When exactly? We have to make good preparations here, and we will guarantee Arrange the most memorable wedding for you!"

In a place like Jiangnan, close to the sea, natural thinking is not as confining as inland.

Since last year, when young men and women get married, it has become more common for everyone to get together and make trouble.

A provincial-level Kunqu Opera troupe said it would hold such a wedding, which was really a shame to the extreme.

Li Danmin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and a brilliant look burst out on his face.

You know, before Li Danmin came to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, she sang in the Jiangnan Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe, and she was top-notch at that time.

But when he was selected to the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, he became second-rate, and he was not one of the elites who were valued at all.

It's not that the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe treats her badly, but that everyone speaks on their own merits. Those actors with good singing and acting skills will of course receive more attention and get more opportunities to perform.

But now that the leader of the regiment said so, no one has ever had such a grand celebration ceremony before. How can we not let her be overwhelmed with joy?

Wei Xiaofan is not a vegetarian, throwing out such a big gift for no reason at once only proves that they have a big plan.

The more they give, the more they want to receive.

On the surface, he smiled honestly, "Thank you everyone, then I will definitely pack a big red envelope for everyone!"

"Brother Fan! The team leader and colleagues are just giving me a celebration, don't be so vulgar!" Li Danmin said coquettishly, she is not ignorant, but it makes her feel strange to talk about money so directly embarrassing.

"Yeah, we are all on our own, where can we get any red envelopes?" Zhang Fangqin smiled and shook his hand.

Then Ge Dexin, who was in charge of the performance team, pretended to be casual and said, "Xiao Dan, you are getting married soon, are you planning to go back to Huajing, or go back to Xiangjiang directly?"

"It's not so fast!" Li Danmin said hastily, "We have to stay together again."

"Could it be that you don't intend to marry Manager Wei?" Gao Hong pretended to be surprised.

Li Danmin blushed, and held back for a long time without refuting.

It was Wei Xiaofan who helped her out, "We haven't made any plans in this regard. In the next year or so, I will still be traveling between Lin'an, Shanghai and Huajing."

"So, if you get married, you still have to prepare a home in Lin'an, right?" Tian Chengping asked casually, "But I've been to Xiaodan's house, and her house is just a standard two-bedroom house. It must be very inconvenient for you to live at home and have a baby, right?"

Wei Xiaofan didn't understand what he meant, but still nodded slightly.

"So, wouldn't it be best if the young couple could have their own house?" Tian Chengping said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Oh? The regiment is planning to build a house again? I'm not qualified..." Li Danmin blurted out.

In the present state of Hua, the residents in the cities do not have any private housing.

Everyone lives in either the dilapidated old houses that existed before liberation, or the houses of the work units.

Among them, the houses built by the units are the most and the most common.

But you also have to look at which unit it is.

Units with better efficiency, such as today’s government units, cotton mills, steel mills, military factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, and the Ministry of Railways, can repair houses everywhere, and most workers Can live in a house.

If it is a unit that is not very profitable, for example, the current Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe has only one office building and training place, and then a large cafeteria and a large courtyard dam are their main assets.

As for the housing, there are about a dozen tube buildings nearby, each three-story building, ten houses on the first floor, one bedroom and one living room, shared toilets, and the kitchen is on the corridor.

It seems that there are more than 300 houses, which should be good, right?

But this tube building was built in the 1950s. From the 1950s to the present, the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe has more than 300 retired people, and there are still more than 200 employees now, with a total of more than 600 people.

Is it possible for a house of about 300 households?

There are at least 200 employees, either living in their parents’ home, or crowded in a single apartment built by the Kunqu Opera Troupe with the approval of the government. There are almost 8 people in one room, and it is extremely crowded.

In the past, these employees and actors were young, so that's okay, they were all single, and it was enough to squeeze in and have a place to live.

But they are getting older gradually, they are in their twenties, twenty-seven or eighty-year-olds, and it is time to talk about marriage. How could they still live in a single apartment with others?

They naturally hope that the unit can build a house again, even if it is a tube building, even if it is a one-bedroom one-living room, so that the young couple can move in.

Otherwise, no one would dare to get married!

You are married and still live in the single dormitory of your respective unit. Does this seem to be married?

In this era, private individuals were not allowed to repair houses.

Only when your house is rotten, the government will allow you to renovate it, and it cannot exceed the standard too much.

But there are too few people who own old houses before liberation. Basically, these houses are quite thick, so there is no big problem.

And those who work in the unit can count on the unit, and the unit can have the power to repair the house.

After repairing the house, allocating the house according to the unit's qualifications, contributions, etc. is the biggest way for people to obtain a house.

There are so many entanglements and struggles surrounding the matter of this house, it is simply impossible to finish a book.

But it is very lucky to have a house that can be divided and competed for.

For example, the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe, because the unit does not have any funds, and there is no performance income on weekdays, the funds are all allocated by the government, and it is difficult to use them in various ways. Money to fix the house?

They are not like the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, they are the face of the country, and the funds are generally sufficient—er, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio cannot repair the house, because most of their funds are It was spent on work, but the money to repair the house was still not enough.

Therefore, after the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe built a house in the 1950s, it has never repaired a house. The employees and actors complained a lot, because I don’t know how many people made noise with the troupe leaders about the house.

Even in the past five or six years, there are still more than 20 excellent actors who resigned directly because they got married and did not have a house, and went to other better places, or in factories, or to find relationships to improve A good unit, as long as you have a house.

These are all very good actors!

It is really embarrassing to leave the Kunqu Opera Troupe just like that.

But you can't take the house to keep them, so there is no other way.

Originally, a group of actors were discussing in their spare time whether there would be a chance to repair the house in the past two years, but now Li Danmin suddenly heard that there seemed to be such a tone, and suddenly became excited.

Although she may not be able to get a house, it is good to have such a little expectation!

Maybe it will be my turn in two years?

Hearing Li Danmin's words, Zhang Fangqin smiled wryly, "Xiao Dan, if we have the ability, how can we let Xiao Tan, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Zhu leave?"

Since you are not planning to build a house, what does that mean?

Li Danmin became puzzled.

"But what you think is not bad, we are going to use another method now." Tian Chengping coughed lightly, and turned to Wei Xiaofan, "Manager Wei, have you heard about Zhi Qing's return to his hometown? "

"I've heard of it." Wei Xiaofan nodded.

He saw the news on Treasure Island, and after returning to Huajing, he also heard his parents, relatives and friends talking about it.

The so-called educated youth are educated youth.

The process of intellectual youth going to the countryside, working where they are needed, and going deep into the front line to exercise is called "going to the mountains and going to the countryside".

Going to the countryside is not just about going to the countryside and valleys. In fact, this definition is too narrow.

To give a simple example, the development of the Great Northern Wilderness was initiated by educated youths; all kinds of construction and development in Xinjiang were also done by most educated youths, and even many educated youths in Xinjiang , In the end, they did not return to their hometown, but took root in the local area.

Of course, there are also many people who go to difficult places. The existence of various problems makes it impossible for young people in the city to bear, causing many situations.

So in 1979, that is, at the beginning of this year, the center held a special meeting, and finally made a decision to "agree that the educated youths should return to their hometowns in batches".

Now, more than 10 million educated youths flocked back to their hometown cities. This action is called "Educated Youth Returning Home".

As a major exporter of educated youth, there are at least three to five million educated youths from Huajing, Shanghai, Jiangnan, Jiangdong and other places who have returned to the cities, injecting a lot of vitality into the originally peaceful city. Injected a lot of hustle and bustle.

Wei Xiaofan has a few relatives and friends who "go to the mountains and go to the countryside". Because he does not belong to the urban household registration and is a real farmer, he is not included in the objects of going to the mountains and the countryside.

When he took Li Danmin back to Huajing last month to meet his parents and siblings, he met two cousins ​​and cousins ​​who came back, and a distant cousin.

Their changes were so great that Wei Xiaofan couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
