Chapter 043 Treasury Bills
Nanxiu Village is a new community that was just built last year, and almost all the faculty and staff of Nanyang University live in it.
Thirty years later, Nanxiu Village Community is a typical old and dilapidated small community, but at present, it is definitely considered a "high-end" community.
The rental information on the bulletin board is still there, Ding Zhiyuan looked for it according to the address.
This community is not very big, there are only a dozen residential buildings.
The house for rent is on the first floor, with three floors on it, which is considered a low-rise building.
Knocked on the door, and after a while, a gray-haired old man opened the door, with a pair of reading glasses on his nose, looking at Ding Zhiyuan through the upper edge of the frame, asking, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, teacher, I'm here to rent a house." Ding Zhiyuan showed a harmless smile, "I am also a student from Nanjing University and from the Department of Geography. When I saw a rental information posted at the entrance of the community, I came over to ask."
"Student from Nanjing University?" the old man said in surprise, "You want to rent a house?"
Ding Zhiyuan knew what the old man suspected, so he quickly patted the bag and said, "Teacher, I have brought all the money. If I like it, we can sign the agreement today."
"Come in." The old man made way open the door, "Look at it casually. I've been packing my things these two days and I'll move the day after tomorrow."
There are cardboard boxes in the living room. The boxes have not been sealed yet and are full of books.
This is a two-bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with north and south access.
The master bedroom is facing the sun, connected to the balcony. Outside the balcony is a small courtyard of seven or eight square meters. The courtyard wall is about one person tall, and the upper part is 20 to 30 cm. It is a hollow flower window.
The main bedroom comes out of the living room and dining room, the north side of the living room is the kitchen and bathroom, and the next door to the kitchen is the second bedroom.
The second bedroom was transformed into a study room, with a single bed placed against the wall against three rows of bookshelf.
The old man is packing the books on the bookshelf inside.
"Teacher, why are you the only ones to clean up the moving house?" Ding Zhiyuanjian held a stack of books with some difficulty and quickly helped him take it over, "Where to put it?"
"The reference books are all placed there." The old man pointed to the box at the door of the living room, held his waist and took a breath, "The children have to go to work, I'm too lazy to bother them. I'm not in a hurry anyway, just clean up slowly."
Ding Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm free and fine. If you don't dislike me, I'll help you."
The old man asked: "You won't attend class?"
Ding Zhiyuan said: "I just entered the school in my freshman year and have not started classes yet."
The old man said suspiciously: "Don't freshmen need military training?"
Ding Zhiyuan said with a bitter face: "The night before the military training, I ate a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup at Xiaofenqiao, vomited and had diarrhea, and had two days of water. It was only healed last night."
The old man looked at him deeply: "Slipped!"
Ding Zhiyuan smiled, without justifying or refuting.
This thing is a matter of truth and heart. As long as you don’t admit it, he will be upright when the king of heaven comes.
"I can't reach the books on the top of the bookshelf, come on."
"Okay!"
With Ding Zhiyuan as a new force, the old man only needs to talk and at most he can stretch his fingers. The remaining dirty and tiring work is covered by Ding Zhiyuan.
After the bookshelf was cleared, the old man pointed to the single bed again: "There are books under the bed. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise my waist will not bend."
Ding Zhiyuan squatted down and looked at the bed. He said, "What a guy, they were all bundles of books wrapped in oil paper, and they were obviously more than those on the bookshelf."
The old and the young cooperated tacitly and spent an afternoon packing everything.
Actually, there are not many personal belongings, most of them are books.
Ding Zhiyuan was stretched for two days, but his body had not recovered completely. After doing such a little work, he was sweating all over and sat on the sofa and gasping.
The old man burned a pot of hot water, made a small table and teapot in the yard, and greeted: "Xiao Ding, go wash your face and come over to have tea."
Ding Zhiyuan was angry and weak: "Teacher Chen, please let me rest for a while."
The old man’s surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Junzhong. He is a professor in the Department of Chemistry. He just retired this year.
Chen Junzhong bought this house to enjoy his old age with his wife after retirement, but who would have expected that not long after moving in this spring, his wife suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. She said she was gone and she didn't even leave a last word.
This new house has since become a sad place for Chen Junzhong, and living here is bound to see things and think about love.
In addition, the two children were worried that he would live alone, so they agreed to let him stay in each family for several months.
So this new house was vacant.
Ding Zhiyuan is very satisfied with this house. It was delivered in the middle of last year and was renovated at the end of the year. It has been less than a year since then.
Complete furniture, you can almost move in with your bag.
Two bedrooms and one living room, separate bathroom, and water heater.
It feels uncomfortable to live when you are small, and it is troublesome to pack up when you are big. 60 square meters are just right for him, a bachelor.
The key is that the location is good, it is only one road away from Nanda Beiyuan, and it is up to five minutes away from the teaching building. It is not too convenient to come back at noon.
At this time, a gust of wind blows through the hall, bringing a scent of tea, making Ding Zhiyuan unable to help swallowing.
I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and when I came out, I accidentally knocked over a box of miscellaneous items, and the things inside were spread all over the floor.
Ding Zhiyuan was suddenly attracted by something. It was dark at this time, and the lighting of the house on the first floor was worse, and the living room was not on. At first glance, it looked a bit like a bunch of great unity.
Teacher Chen is quite rich. This thick stack of great unity costs 1,000 yuan no matter how hard it is.
Is this old Chen so confused? Why do you put money everywhere? What if you lose it?
However, when he picked up the thick stack of "Great Unity" on the ground, he realized that this was not a big unity at all, but a treasury bill worth 10 yuan.
Chen Junzhong heard the movement in the room, got up and walked in, and happened to see Ding Zhiyuan staring blankly with the Treasury bill.
He thought Ding Zhiyuan didn't know the Treasury bonds, so he said, "That was the Treasury bond. The unit had a showdown two years ago. My wife and I bought 500 yuan. It was useless, so I threw it into the box."
In the 1980s, when the treasury bonds were resumed, they were issued in the form of levy, which was called "supporting national construction."
Billions of dollars are issued nationwide, and then they are distributed downwards one by one.
After receiving the assignment task, some units continue to pay downward until the task is assigned to the employees.
What? You don't have money to buy?
Then deduct it from your salary, deduct five dollars per month until the showdown indicator is completed.
Some rural areas even have the task of purchasing, and many farmers have been "voluntarily" bought treasury bills.
Since Treasury bonds are strictly prohibited from circulation and trading, it is equivalent to fixed deposits, but the interest rate is similar to the fixed deposit interest rate, and it is not allowed to be withdrawn in advance, which is more regular than fixed deposits, so it is also called "dead money".
