Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Zhang Xingming said, "Isn't it? It's so comfortable to live in a courtyard house. It's grounded and has a lot of space."

Director Liu said: "There are five or six families or seven or eight families living in a big compound, with more than a dozen families crowded together in one compound. Every day there is friction and noise every day. You don't know this kind of petty citizen in a big compound. Helpless."

Zhang Xingming pondered for a moment with his chin rubbed, and said, "Uncle Liu, are you sure about the capital's plan for the courtyard house now? Check out where to keep and where to demolish."

Director Liu asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Buy, buy a few sets of big houses to live in, how wonderful. I have longed for courtyards since I was a child. Think about it, in the middle of a noisy city, you have a quiet courtyard with flowers, grass and trees. How nice it is to lie in the yard and watch the stars.”

Director Liu smiled wryly, and said, "You think so beautifully. Do you know how many families there are in a yard? Who owns the property rights? You bought the property rights and the residents will obey you and cooperate with you to move? The residents here are all from the state and various units. Arranged to come in, it is considered a welfare housing, some people have lived in it for decades, how do you move? If you can receive the rent on time with the property rights, it means that you are very capable, boy, don’t be naive.”

Zhang Xingming blinked his eyes and asked, "I bought the property right but still can't receive the house? I don't want them to live in my property right, can I?"

Director Liu said: "Most residents don't rent houses, they are allocated by state units. We don't have property rights certificates for state welfare housing, but the houses actually belong to the people who have been allocated. Isn't that right in your place? Does your factory have a certificate of title to the house? Is the house yours? If someone else comes with a certificate of title to ask you to move, will you move?"

Zhang Xingming choked for a while, and said for a long time: "Then what's the use of buying the property right? Why does the state still allow it to be sold?"

Director Liu said: "Property rights are all owned by the state unit. After the end, they will distribute them to their employees. Why not? If you want to buy the property right now, they can sell it, but the tenants have to handle it yourself. The unit will definitely not care about it. He can't control it if he wants to. How many years has it been since the founding of the People's Republic of China? The complicated things here are more messy than hemp, and there are self-built ones, built-up ones, what do you do? I planned to simply put me in the small courtyard now I bought it and forgot about it, but after inquiring about it, my head got bigger, so it’s been down year after year.”

Zhang Xingming thought to himself, when he read those rebirth novels, he bought them piece by piece, and there was a big courtyard with three entrances and four entrances, how could he be so complicated?Said: "Uncle, there is really no way? I really want to buy a few sets. Didn't it mean that some residences of Prince Beizi can be bought and sold now?"

Chapter 397 Hutong Courtyard (2)

Director Liu said: "Yes, it depends on luck. In the early days of liberation, in order to solve the housing problem of ordinary people, almost all the larger courtyards in our capital were demolished. The largest one, the Prince's Mansion, lived in two There are more than a dozen households, the smallest one is like the one I live in, and there are five or six households in the yard. The whole capital is like this, full of people.

In the past two years, many people have been thinking about courtyard houses. Some of them ran away before liberation, and now they come back to ask the government for a house. What should they do?The government can’t be unreasonable. People have all kinds of certificates and house tickets, so they should pay them back. After this, the residence and property rights have formed the current situation. No one can take it. The better ones can be collected on time The rent, most of the rent is not even collected, and I sue everywhere every day.

There are also those who want to save a yard by themselves, buy a property right today, and talk about the family moving tomorrow, how many times do you have to go to the unit and talk to the residents before you can get a complete yard?The shortest I know is two years, the longest is more than five years, and I'm still running.There is no way, this is not a family. "

Zhang Xingming asked: "There is no clear property right? With so many yards, I don't believe they are all so complicated."

Director Liu said: "Yes, there are several yards with a share of property rights, but they are all gardens, museums, schools, streets, and the original owners who existed before liberation. I want to buy property rights from them. It’s not easy, and we still have to solve the residents’ problems.”

Zhang Xingming said: "Let's try it. I still want to buy a few sets. Since it's Houhai, I know there are many big mansions. Please help me find out. What if you encounter something that's not so complicated? Right?" ?”

Director Liu smiled wryly, and said, "Okay, let me ask you, let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow night, I'll hang up first, I thought it was a confidential call from which unit, I drove your aunt and child into the yard It’s gone, I’ll call them back, it’s so cold outside, I’ll tell you, you son of a bitch, if your aunt and my son freeze, I’ll see what you can do to compensate me. Hang up.”

Director Liu hung up the phone and went out to call his wife and children who were shivering in the cold yard. Zhang Xingming put down the phone and started to be dazed, feeling that something was wrong.

Sitting there thinking for a long time, Zhang Xingming raised his hand and slapped his thigh. He forgot about it.

Siheyuan became popular in the later generations, and transactions were frequent. That was in the mid-90s. It was many years ago. At that time, the capital had already begun to expand and renovate. Many units’ employees moved out of the Hutong area. Many courtyards were either idle or left. There are one or two households, and they can't wait to move upstairs. The market is heated up under such an atmosphere.

But what about 86?As long as the original unit of the resident in the courtyard cannot be allocated another flat for him to live in, there is really no way to force them to move. The property rights belong to you, but they belong to the country where they live.

At that time, most of the social welfare houses in the capital also had to pay rent, which was usually collected by the street. Regardless of the number of people in a household, the rent of a few yuan a month must be paid on schedule. When the general unit pays wages The subsidy will be returned again.

It wasn’t until the end of the 90s that the central government ordered the forced end of the welfare housing policy, and the original welfare housing was traded to residents and the property rights certificates were obtained, which basically ended the chaos. However, in fact, the transfer of welfare housing in Beijing continued until 2005. The place is not clear, the difficulty is these large courtyards.

Fortunately, at that time, most of the residents didn't want to live in this oppressive and messy courtyard anymore, and they tried to move out by themselves, and sold it if they could sell something here. For the property owner or purchaser, things became much easier. At the same time, the purchase price is getting higher and higher.

And to be honest, if you don’t spend a lot of money to renovate the courtyard house, it’s actually not comfortable to live in. The reason why it became so popular in later generations is just a kind of hype of necessity, and it has become a symbol of social value and status.

Later generations buy a yard with [-] million yuan. If they want to live comfortably, they should fill it in at least twice as much. The cost of rebuilding, repairing and modernizing such ancient buildings can scare people away, but if you don’t renovate or renovate, you want to live in it. Comfortable?You really think too much.

Later until 2016, there were still several large courtyards in the Third Ring Road of Beijing. Some of them were cultural groups of ancient buildings and hutongs preserved according to the plan. After planning, maintenance and repair, they became a geographical and cultural symbol.

Some people are helpless. In the Dazayuan area, it is not clear what to do. Whoever encounters it will have a headache. And the longer the time, the more things will happen, and the more things will be delayed. The result of the vicious circle is helplessness. The government is helpless, and the common people Also helpless.

Don’t think that the common people in places like Beijing and Shanghai must have a pretty good life. The good life is always only a small part, and most of them are not as good as the people in the second and third tier cities. They carry the brand of Beijing and Shanghai, and they don’t enjoy benefits. , there are a lot of obligations, can you be comfortable?

……

The next day, Zhang Xingming drove around the capital with two inseparable shadows, around the Forbidden City, Houhai, Luogu Lane, Qianmen, Xiejie, and visited several major courtyard areas between the second and third ring roads that were preserved in memory for later generations. A circle, at this time, most of these areas still maintain their original appearance, which is quite different from the repair plan of later generations, that is, one word, chaos.

The alleys are full of sundries, coal sheds, rotten cars, not to mention cars, and bicycles are not easy to enter. Looking in through the gate, the yard is even more messy, full of things from various families, built huts, bicycles , coal shed urine bucket, Zhang Xingming also saw chicken coops in several yards, and a few shedding hens were flopping inside.

In these alleys, you can see half-sized men wearing military overcoats or cotton-padded jackets with military cotton caps crooked, leaning against doors or walls with their arms open. The girl whistled for a big white eye, and laughed a few times.

The biggest difference between the capital and the Northeast is that fights are rarely seen on the streets. Unlike the people in the Northeast who say they fight immediately, when the capital is on fire, they talk about it, and then they make an appointment to fight. Man, let's do it when the time comes.

But there are not many who can really do it. After that time, the anger is not so big, and then the two sides shine, some are counseled, some are negotiated by the middleman, and some just run away if they can’t get anyone. If you go to the appointment, at worst, hide and go away later.

There are also those who gather around a small shop to eat peanuts and blow beer. It is not too cold in the cold weather. There is no ham sausage in this era. The first set of ham sausage equipment in China was purchased by Luoyang Chundu in 86. The production of equipment began in 87, and Shuanghui was launched even later in 91.

Chapter 398 Chaoyang Masses (3)

There are also sausages in this era, the old-fashioned red sausages, imitation Soviet red sausages, but the casings used for these things are not very easy to preserve, and the state-run non-staple food is sold, one piece is more than one, and private shops dare not come in to sell them, and the sales volume is not large.

The three of them walked slowly through the alley while talking, looking around, and the middle-aged man on the side of the road looked at them with provocative eyes. The most typical representative of alley culture is xenophobia, and he is very wary of strangers. Heavy, later generations called high vigilance.

"Er Ming, what's so interesting here? It's been a long time since I've been walking, and it's full of dilapidated courtyards, crowded like a grasshopper's cage. What are you looking for?" Casually, the guards arranged by Mr. Shen didn't know whether they were unfamiliar or used to them. They straightened their faces and looked around from time to time. Zhang Xingming followed when he walked, and Zhang Xingming stood by the side when he stopped, saying nothing.

Zhang Xingming said: "I want to buy a few larger yards in the capital, and we will have a place to stay in the future, but this situation, the more we look at it, the more we see it. In such a place, how can we live even if we buy a yard?"

The security guard looked around, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, this is paying for it. Can you pee with dozens of people? It's not as good as our dormitory."

There are no toilets in the courtyard, only urine buckets for night use. The big ones and the public toilets outside during the day have to go to the public toilets outside. When you get up in the morning, grab the paper and run out. Oh, the queue is really cool, and in summer, the little ones When the wind blows, the small smell of public toilets permeates most of the crowded courtyard area. Thinking about it, I like it. At that time, there were no public toilets with water pumps, and they were all big dry toilets. The feces were manually pulled out and transported away.

Do you still remember the excrement workers who were praised by Chairman Mao?It turned out that there was this lesson in the elementary school texts, but I don’t know it now.

"Hey, you three, hey, you three, what are you doing? I've been around here for a long time, and I've been staring at you for a long time, what are you looking for?"

A boy in his twenties leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth squinted his eyes and shouted at the three of Zhang Xingming. side.

Zhang Xingming turned his head to look at them, then turned his head and said: "I don't want to buy this kind of private house. I want to find out if there are two sets of Prince Baylor's house. That is different from this kind of private house. It is completely different from the structure to the facilities. Similarly, it is much taller than this kind of private house, and it will be taller after a little renovation, and it is also easy to change, with a large space, and the materials and craftsmanship used will not be as corrupted as the private house after another hundred and eight years. .”

Li Chun, the security guard, asked, "Is that the kind of palace that is shown on TV?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "It can be understood in this way, but the real palace-style house is at least the Prince's Mansion. I guess we have nothing to do with it. It should have been brought back to the country, and it is impossible to sell it."

Zhang Liguo, the guard next to him, interjected a rare sentence, saying: "There are some for sale, some of which are still in private hands, and some of which are not. Our unit used to have two sets, but they were locked up because of the office address transfer. There, I'll go ask you tomorrow."

Zhang Xingming opened his eyes wide and asked, "Where is it? Are you sure it's the palace?"

Li Chun nodded and said, "It's definitely the palace. We've stayed there for more than two years. It's used as a camp, but it may need major repairs. The damage is a bit severe."

Zhang Xingming said: "No problem. As long as there is no problem with the main structure, everything else is trivial. It has to be dismantled and modified to use it. Where is the location?"

Li Chun scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "The root of Beihuangcheng is Qudeng Hutong. It seems to be a Prince's Mansion and a Beizi Mansion. They are next to each other. There is an alley in the middle. I will go to the bureau to inquire about it tomorrow. Beizi Mansion The preservation over there is relatively good, the garden behind the Prince’s Mansion and the main house seem to have been partially destroyed a few years ago.”

While talking, he suddenly turned around, leaned in front of Zhang Xingming, turned his head to the right rear of the three people, put his right hand back to his waist, and stretched his left hand forward to stop him, saying: "Stop, five meters is safe line, step back, and wait outside the five-meter line in five seconds."

The young people who came over were the few young people who had just shouted, the one at the top was opening his mouth to say something, he was taken aback by Li Chun's stern order, and just about to open his mouth to scold, a buddy behind him pulled him and ran back. The seven people stepped out in a few steps, a full seven or eight meters, and stood there looking at Li Chun.

Zhang Liguo didn't move, and stretched out his hands at his waist. He pushed Zhang Xingming behind him with half of his body, and quickly observed the surroundings.

Li Chun's right hand stretched to the back of his waist did not move. He strode up to two meters in front of six or seven young people, stared at the one who called out and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
