Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The next morning, He Daqing planned to leave the capital and return to Baoding. Before leaving, he said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, stay away from Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family in the future. If you have any problems, go to your master or Cai Quanwu. I have already told them. I think Cai Quanwu is a good person."

He Yuzhu nodded and asked, "By the way, Dad, what was that dirty thing you said about the first master and the Jia family that day?"

He Daqing: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Yi Zhonghai has leverage over me, but I also have Yi Zhonghai's weaknesses. The current situation is that I can burn my boats, but he doesn't dare to fight to the death. Don't worry, if he dares to stretch out his claws again, I will chop him off."

After He Yuzhu heard his father's words, his father's image instantly became taller and more powerful in his mind. He and Yushui were not fatherless children.

He Daqing: "You have time to study cooking. I left you the recipes. They are the hard work of your grandfather and I. When you have a son in the future, you must pass it down from generation to generation. Also, this house has not been repaired for many years. Don't be reluctant to spend money this time. From the roof to the floor tiles, from the windows to the furniture, completely renovate it."

He Yuzhu: "Well, I will go to Baoding to see you when I have time. Also, the White Widow is not a good person. When Yushui and I went to look for you, she stopped us from seeing you. Don't spend all your money on them, save some for yourself. If you can't make ends meet in the future, come back to the capital. No matter what, I will take care of you in your old age."

He Daqing: "My son has grown up and knows how to care about your father. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

A few days later, the deaf old lady really found He Yuzhu. In the past, He Yuzhu, under Yi Zhonghai's suggestion, treated the deaf old lady as his grandmother and gave her some of the delicious food. The old lady also called He Yuzhu her eldest grandson. After this incident, He Yuzhu no longer cared about the old lady.

The old man who refuses to die is a thief. The deaf old lady said earnestly, "Zhuzi, I didn't know before that your uncle withheld your living expenses. If I had known, I would not have let him do it. You are my favorite grandson. I will not allow anyone in this yard to bully you."

He Yuzhu sneered: "I heard that you also contributed to the plot to send my father to Baoding."

The old lady said, "Zhuzi, I did that for your own good. Your father's background was faked, and once it was discovered, you and Yushui would be implicated. Only when He Daqing is gone, you and your sister will be safe. I have no grudge against your father, so why would I plot against him? At most, I didn't stop Yi Zhonghai from doing that. In fact, your uncle didn't want to embezzle the money, he was just afraid that you were young and would spend money recklessly. Think about it, when did he not help you when you were in trouble? If it weren't for the two of us protecting you, you and your sister would have been bullied to no end. Think about it yourself."

After the deaf old lady left, He Yuzhu looked at her hunched back and muttered, "Humph! What's there to think about? No matter how good you are, can you be as dear as my father? I will always listen to my father."

In the tavern, everyone has been discussing the issue of public-private partnership these days. Since September 1954, the government has passed the guidelines for public-private partnership. Some large private enterprises have been public-private partnerships last year. Next will be these small private owners. The government plans to complete the comprehensive transformation of all private economies before January 9.

Therefore, this topic is currently the hottest topic that everyone is most concerned about. Everyone is discussing it one by one.

Fan Jinyou was now in good spirits. He said forcefully, "The so-called public-private partnership means that socialist elements occupy the capitalist sector. For the capitalist individual small economic elements left over from the old society, the state adopts a policy of utilization, restriction, and transformation, also known as a redemption policy."

Chen Xueru was the first to state that she would not take the initiative to form a joint venture. Niu Ye said that it was only a matter of time. In the original plot, Xu Huizhen was the first to stand up and support the public-private partnership. As a result, Director Li of the Street Office sent Fan Jinyou to be the company manager.

Fan Jinyou didn't know how to run a business and was aggressive, which made the tavern very miserable. In the end, it was Xu Huizhen who saved the day and made the tavern come back to life and resume normal business.

Later, when Fan Jinyou became the director of the neighborhood committee, he came to the tavern to check the accounts and wanted to bring down Xu Huizhen, but he was obviously no match for Xu Huizhen. He lost his position as the director of the neighborhood committee and also forged a lifelong grudge with Xu Huizhen.

This time, Xu Hui really didn't want to be the one who took the lead. Although she had to cooperate sooner or later, she would wait until Fan Jinyou was arranged to be a public manager in another company before cooperating. Anyway, the later she did it, the more money she could earn.

A few days later, the Xiheyan Subdistrict Office of Xuanwu District held a mobilization meeting for public-private partnership. At the meeting, Director Li made it clear that the state would not encroach on the interests of the majority of industrial and commercial owners. The state would buy back the shares of the enterprise, and the enterprise would follow the principle of four-way sharing: 30% for state taxes, 10-30% for enterprise public accumulation funds, 5-15% for employee welfare bonuses, and 25% for shareholder dividends and managers and factory directors’ remuneration.

The thunder was loud, but the raindrops were small. The owners were all waiting and watching. No one took the initiative to cooperate. Nonsense, it would be great if you have the final say. Why do you have to find a mother-in-law to control you?

On this day, Xu Huizhen received a remittance slip. It was the manuscript fee sent by the editorial department of Beijing Evening News. She had submitted the manuscript for a long time, but there was no response. She thought it had been lost, but unexpectedly it was accepted. It was probably because there were few submissions during this period and no articles were published. So they picked out her article.

The manuscript fee was three yuan and thirty cents. She estimated that the manuscript was only about 800 words, so the fee was about four yuan per thousand words.

Judging from the prices of goods in this era, this amount of money for writing a manuscript is not low.

Speaking of royalties, she had read a report in her previous life. In 1956, archaeologist Mr. Chen published his masterpiece "A Summary of Oracle Inscriptions from Yinxu", which was about 70 words. He received 8000 yuan in royalties. With this money, Mr. Chen bought a courtyard house in Qianliang Hutong, which had rooms. (Readers, imagine how much these rooms are worth in modern times? Isn't this royalties very generous?)

Retracting her divergent thoughts, Xu Huizhen felt that she could write more similar articles when she had time in the future. No, she could steal more articles from later generations. Stealing books cannot be considered stealing. How can it be considered stealing if it is done by scholars? That's what Mr. Kong Yiji said!
