For more than six months, Hong Yanwen has been going smoothly.
Since Xu Chongya became pregnant, he has never been angry at his father-in-law's house.
At the beginning, maybe it was for the sake of the child who was about to be born, or maybe it was because of Xu Chongya's pregnancy mood.
Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen had already made a point of being polite to Hong Yanwen.
Although the couple often looked very serious when facing their son-in-law, they never smiled and had nothing to talk about with him.
But as long as he treats Xu Chongya well and allows his daughter to have a happy pregnancy, they will not take the initiative to cause any trouble to him.
This made Hong Yanwen feel relaxed from the bottom of his heart. He no longer felt the humiliation of being slighted, the awkwardness of being told what to do, and the tension of always being prepared to deal with criticism.
What was even more interesting later was that Hong Yanwen did not expect that the Xu family's thinking was quite traditional.
When the hospital's obstetrics department found out that Xu Chongya was pregnant with a girl, the old couple's usual stiff attitude improved a lot.
Probably because they feel that now that family planning is in effect and only one child is allowed, the Hong family feels sorry for their daughter to have a daughter.
The old couple were afraid that Hong Yanwen would be displeased and dislike their daughter and the granddaughter who was about to be born, so they tried their best to comfort him, saying that it was better to raise a daughter than a son.
In fact, how would the Xu family know? In terms of Hong Yanwen's temperament, the person he is most impatient with is the bastard who can turn the world upside down.
Because he had already been afraid of Hong Yanwu's troubles when he was a child, having a daughter would be exactly what he wanted.
As a result, because of this, even Xu Xiaojun, a gangster, was warned and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Hong Yanwen, so he stayed away.
Naturally, the Xu family's nanny's attitude changed with her master, and she was much more attentive to Hong Yanwen.
This made Hong Yanwen even more happy. From now on, when he got along with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he only had to be polite and there would be no mental pressure.
In addition, because he was able to recharge his batteries, his concentration at work has also been greatly improved.
Several things I did after arriving at the new unit were quite beautiful and were well received by the leaders.
In addition, He Jiefu also paid careful attention and support.
This coincides with the fact that the CANGO is in a special period with less than 1,000 members and an average age of 65.9 years old.
As a result, the three forces merged into one, and it became inevitable for Hong Yanwen to be promoted as the backbone of young people.
No, as soon as the Spring Festival of 1983 passed, good things started to happen.
Since the entire "Canada Promotion Association" is divided into old, young and scattered, there is an urgent need for young cadres to be supplemented.
Hong Yanwen, as a member of thirty young people from the CANGO, participated in a two-month "off-the-job study class" organized by the Municipal Committee.
By April of that year, the CANGO Association was recruiting new members and beginning to establish district-level organizations step by step.
Hong Yanwen was appointed by He Jiefu to the Chongwen District Working Committee without any resistance to serve as a standing committee member and concurrently as secretary.
Naturally, his job was also promoted and he became a full-time professional.
Moreover, it is also foreseeable that the chairman and deputy chairman of the working committee are both very old and will retire soon.
Hong Yanwen's future is simply unobstructed and smooth.
This made him want to achieve something, how could he not thank his brother from the bottom of his heart for guiding him to the bright road?
If nothing else, after Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen learned about this, they looked at Hong Yanwen with a much more complicated look.
This is both instinctive fear and some kind of sincere appreciation.
Because to be honest, at this speed of promotion, it can only catch up with Song Guofu, who has a director and a good father.
They never imagined that this son-in-law, who seemed to have no official background, could actually get to this point on his own.
I'm afraid only they themselves know how much they regret their past attitudes.
So, less than three months after I became section chief, my wife successfully gave birth to a daughter.
This is really a good harvest for both career and family.
How could this make Hong Yanwen feel dissatisfied and not feel at ease?
Needless to say, it is difficult for him not to associate his good luck with his own flesh and blood.
I really love this newborn daughter to the extreme.
As for the new granddaughter of the Hong family, like her two cousins Hong Jun and Hong Yi, they were named Hong Baht by their grandfather Hong Lu.
This name is still sorted from ancient Chinese weight units, to reflect the Hong family's business ethics of being honest and never lacking in weight, as a symbolic meaning.
Perhaps the birth of a child is indeed the best evidence of a family's prosperity.
Or maybe this name is really good, which is enough to prove the virtue of the Hong family ancestors.
So since the Hong family added another child, everything at home and outside has become more and more smooth.
The relationship between the Hong and Xu families has really eased, and the relationship between the Hong family and the Shui family is getting along well.
Coupled with the large-scale wage adjustment in society, no one in the Hong family was left behind, and their wages were all increased by one level.
And Hong Jun, such a naughty child, can actually excel in his studies.
The final exam score was all 100%, and he was undoubtedly the first in his age group.
This kid was holding his report card and laughing so hard that he could hardly find his eyes.
Needless to say, the bonus he took out of Hong Yanwu's pocket this time was a "big golden ticket".
In short, with a harmonious family, a kind father and filial piety, children with successful careers, and grandchildren with good academic performance, the Hong family is definitely the most enviable family in these alleys.
"Five good families" are not enough to describe this kind of perfection and harmony.
But this is only on the surface, because no one knows that Hong Yanwu bought a house behind his back.
It's really difficult to talk about this.
Because private housing sales have just resumed these days, people who need to buy or sell do not yet know the policies.
Not to mention the relevant service departments.
There is neither an official service station nor an intermediary agency. This source of information is a natural threshold that ordinary people cannot cross.
So, where can I go to find out who has a house that they want to sell?
Hey, others have no clue, but Hong Yanwu has a clue.
Don't forget, his neighbor is Aunt Bian.
As the saying goes, he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He has grown up next to the old lady of the neighborhood committee for more than ten years. From listening to her chatter, he knows how powerful the neighborhood committee is.
According to his understanding, if you want to know the details of an alley, the neighborhood committee is more effective than the street or police station.
No matter what work these two departments want to carry out, no one can do without the cooperation of the neighborhood committee.
The most basic unit is among the people at all times.
Whose family just had a quarrel, whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a bad relationship, and whose relatives all know.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most effective and reliable source of private information investigation in our country.
He also has a serious attitude towards work and is much more efficient than "Dongchang" or "Jinyiwei".
But there is one thing that no one has ever paid attention to.
No one thought of using the information mastered by the neighborhood committee aunt in the commercial field.
In fact, these old ladies are quite easy to deal with.
Generally speaking, as long as you can make them trust you and pass their "political review" level.
The better you can keep up with your speech and say more nice things, they will be more enthusiastic and willing to help you.
If I can give you some small favors, it would be even more extraordinary. I would be closer to you than my own son.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu, who had great foresight and foresight, was the first to set this precedent and achieved remarkable achievements in one fell swoop.
In early July, he was dressed in a group of five and six, holding the policy provisions of the housing management department in his hand.
I went to several key areas such as "Qianhai", "Houhai" and Nanluoguxiang.
Under the guise of looking for a house for a friend, I tried to talk to six or seven "neighborhood committee aunts" and then left their phone numbers.
Unexpectedly, within this month, half of them responded to the letter, and two houses were finally sold.
The first set is a less formal courtyard in "Shichahai", with an area of just over 250 square meters and six rooms.
It must have been a small side courtyard of a wealthy family in the past. Later it failed and was cut into pieces and sold.
The specific situation now is that not long after the homeowner wanted to return to the house, they were worried because they saw that the house was in a bad condition and they couldn't afford to renovate it.
I am nagging my old neighbor like this, saying what do I want from this shabby house? If I had known this, it would be better not to have it.
Yes, it was only the neighborhood committee member who found out.
The second set is a three-room house facing the street in Nanluogu Lane.
The owner of this property was inherited from his mother after she passed away.
Since he had a house to live in, he rented out these rooms to a tailor from Shanghai for rent.
I originally wanted to make some living money, but unexpectedly I found myself in trouble instead.
Because the house has been in disrepair for a long time and there are problems everywhere. The people in Shanghai are also a little too meticulous and too competitive.
Things like water leaking in the house, moisture in the corners, light bulbs not working, windows leaking, chimneys blocked, running water not flushing, and rats outside.
No matter what the issue is, you have to call the landlord.
After half a year, the landlord was very annoyed.
Once the accounts are settled, the house needs to be repaired, and the rent is not even enough to cover it. You have to pay for it yourself. Why do you need to do this?
As a result, Shanghai Tailor and the landlord quarreled several times over these matters, and finally they went to the neighborhood committee.
The landlord couldn't help but said that I wasn't going to do the repairs anyway, so you could either make do with it or refund your money and leave.
But the Shanghai Tailor didn't do it yet.
In this way, when the neighborhood committee member got to know Hong Yanwu, he told the landlord.
"You might as well sell the house and let others worry."
In this way, the two apartments were safely in the hands of Hong Yanwu.
As for the price? It’s really cheap.
This is because people at that time believed that they lacked economic acumen, were concerned about face, and were ashamed of talking about profit.
In addition, the housing management office's house evaluation method was extremely unreasonable. At that time, house prices were generally more than 50% lower than the actual construction cost of the house.
For example, the small courtyard in Shichahai is a "integrated tile" house.
If depreciation is included, the construction cost of each room should be 1,652 yuan, but the official selling price can only be 645 yuan.
The "grey tiles" in Nanluoguxiang are even lower. Calculating depreciation, the cost should be 951, and the official selling price is 204 yuan.
How much money can you get from this calculation? The deed tax of 6% is even more negligible.
So Hong Yanwu really got a huge advantage.
For example, because he couldn't bear it, he privately gave away an extra color TV and a washing machine to the two homeowners. This can be called a conscientious act.
He is definitely a good guy.
Even the Shanghai tailor and the two introducer neighborhood committee aunts also benefited from it.
Hong Yanwu himself refunded the tailor's rent for the second half of the year, and agreed to let him use the house for free until the end of the year, and then change the place.
According to the rule of "make three and break two", the "commission" of the two aunts is naturally indispensable.
Even though they all made some concessions, no one had trouble with the money and finally put it in their pockets.
I really have to say that the real estate transfer procedures are half completed, which makes everyone happy.
Let’s not talk about the landlord who is a one-time deal and the Shanghai tailor.
The key point is that the two aunts are doing the same thing when they sit in a restaurant and have dinner.
They always scooped up the meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into their mouths, while using their oily mouth to make many promises to Hong Yanwu.
"You young man, you are really reliable in your work. Look, you have to spend money to treat me. Why are you polite? I should treat you..."
"We all deserve our share, what's there to thank you for? Okay, if anything happens in the future, just say it. As long as it's about this area, just come to me..."
"What? I still want to ask about the house, oh, my classmate is getting married and there is no place..."
"Okay, as long as we follow the policy, what are we afraid of? Let me tell you, I am the street, and the street is me. As long as there is news, I will inform you..."
"Hey, please, please push that bowl of pork over to me..."
