Break out of the courtyard

On Monday, November 1967, 11, there was snow in the sky.

Kang Cai, a senior high school student from the Class of 66 and former student union president, said at the school-teacher-student meeting that the 66 graduates from Shanghai held a swearing-in ceremony and wanted to go to the frontiers and go to the places where the motherland needs it most to carry out construction.

He hopes that everyone will actively participate in border construction and contribute to the cause of building and defending border areas.

As a result, everyone in the audience was playing cards, smoking, and chatting, but no one paid any attention to him!

The big courtyard boys are not stupid. Ordinary students don’t know the current situation of the educated youth who went to the countryside a few years ago, but they know very well.

To put it bluntly, they would rather waste their time playing cards and drinking wine than digging in the mud! I would rather be a soldier than dig in the mud!

As for those ordinary students, they are even less likely to listen to Kang Cai, the big boy in the courtyard!

As soon as the conference ended, Zhang Heping thought that the matter was over for the time being, but he didn't want Liu Yuan to cause trouble.

……

In mid-December, newspapers said that Hong Kong Island had stopped.

Zhang Heping patiently waited until New Year's Day in 1968, after celebrating his 18th birthday at home, before going to Hong Kong Island.

On January 1, when Zhang Heping arrived at the Kowloon Tong villa, he was shocked to find that the partition walls of the villas No. 7 and 7 next door were gone.

The bodyguard who opened the door said hello to Zhang Heping, pointed to the three-story villa No. 7 down the slope, and said, "Miss Fourth is in my second grandpa's villa."

Zhang Heping ran over and took a quick glance at Tang Xin and the others, then ran back to the bedroom on the third floor of Villa No. 8 in the middle to take a shower.

After he changed into clean clothes, he went to hug his son and daughter, and then talked to Tang Xin in the bedroom about their separation.

After the Hong Kong Island side calmed down, my uncle sold the assets in Niulaixia and returned to Hong Kong Island with the funds, ready to start from scratch.

The second uncle is still staying in the new island and has already opened up the situation there.

Tang Xin reported to Zhang Heping about her purchase of a house in Xindao, five two-story buildings with facades.

"No?" Zhang Heping hugged his daughter Zhang Nan and looked at Tang Xin with a puzzled look on his face.

"No more!" Tang Xin lay on the bed and said with a charming smile: "My dear, I didn't listen to you, will you punish me?"

"Be serious! It's not dark yet!" Zhang Heping said, and went to lock the bedroom door.

After putting the two little guys in the double stroller, Zhang Heping spurred the disobedient bitch.

Then, Tang Xin revealed the reason why he did not continue to buy a house in Xindao: land policy!

The Land Acquisition Act promulgated by New Island last year gives the Housing and Development Board the right to forcibly acquire private land for housing construction, and the expropriation price is determined by them.

Tang Xin feels that if the new island can really develop, the five small buildings they bought now will probably be expropriated and demolished at a low price.

Therefore, she brought her money back to Hong Kong Island and planned to buy old houses on the main roads in Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, and Tsim Sha Tsui, and rent them while waiting for demolition.

Currently, she has bought five three-story buildings with facades on Nathan Road, with an average price of NT$5 per square meter, which is more expensive than a villa in Kowloon Tong.

However, she currently faces tough competitors, namely her sisters-in-law!

In the evening, my uncle Tang Ren came back. He felt a little emotional that he didn't listen to his brother-in-law Zhang Heping and came back a few months late, which made him a little passive now.

However, Tang Ren didn't talk about business matters, and Zhang Heping didn't express any opinions.

The next day, Tang Xin took Zhang Heping to Nathan Road to view the five small buildings she had bought before, and then called a real estate agent to view the properties.

As for the two babies, they were all in Zhang Heping's arms.

After looking at three suites, Zhang Heping knew why Tang Xin said those sisters-in-law were troublesome.

Even if you meet them when looking at a house, they will drag you with them to look at the house.

The key is, if you don’t like it, they will say they don’t like it; if you like it, they will buy it too.

Emmm...

Then, Zhang Heping said he would buy any house on the street, no matter whether it was new or old, as long as the price did not exceed 1500 yuan per square meter.

In less than two weeks, all the private money of these sisters-in-law was drained, and my wife Tang Xin only had 15 left.

Zhang Heping originally wanted her to set up a property company to collect rent.

But Tang Xin didn't agree. She said she had made an appointment with her sisters-in-law to collect rent and go shopping together.

There was no other way. Zhang Heping could only tell her to bring two more bodyguards and a pistol in her bag for self-defense when she went to collect rent.

On Tuesday night, January 1, Zhang Heping was mercilessly kicked back by the stinky old woman to celebrate the New Year.

It took me 5 days to get to the capital with the train stopping and stopping all the way.

On New Year's Eve, January 1, the eldest sister and her husband came with their children to celebrate the New Year.

Although there were many people at home, Zhang Heping felt empty and unhappy.

On January 1, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Heping went out empty-handed to pay New Year greetings as usual.

However, Zhang Heping ran into trouble at the first stop at the old company commander's house.

"Liu Yuan applied to build a second rubber base in Banna Prefecture in the name of our class? Was it approved by the superiors?" Zhang Heping was surprised.

"Banna Prefecture is full of virgin forests. In the past, we had to cut down trees and burn them, and dig holes to plant rubber saplings. We wouldn't be able to come back for another five or six years." Zhao Jianguo said angrily: "Most of the students in the class hated Liu Yuan!"

Zhang Heping said speechlessly: "We didn't agree to go, we have to let her go by herself!"

"This matter has been revealed to the sky. Anyone who dares to say no will bring trouble to the family!" Zhao Jianguo gritted his teeth in anger, "It's so abominable!"

"Fuck!" Zhang Heping was also angry. What the hell is this?

Later, Zhang Heping went to Huang Xuemin's place to pay New Year's greetings, and asked Huang Wenli about Banna Prefecture. It turned out that she didn't know where she was going until January 1th.

"Peace, this matter has been promoted as a typical one. The departure time is set for February 2th." Huang Xuemin frowned, "After we go there, help me take more care of Wen Li."

"I really want to hit someone!" Zhang Heping said, and went straight to Uncle Zhuang's house and Director Wang's house to celebrate the New Year with a forced smile.

Zhang Heping walked tangledly all the way home. There were so many people working in his family. If he disobeyed the order, the work of his family would probably be greatly affected.

What bothered him the most was how to tell his wife Tang Xin on Hong Kong Island about this!

When I got home, I saw my eldest cousin Ma Lili running over with her child in her arms and crying.

Zhang Heping stood in the doorway, looked at Ma Lili, and asked gloomily: "Did Zhou Chengwen bully you?"

Ma Lili shook her head hurriedly and choked with sobs: "My father-in-law was reported as a spy by Xu Damao and was arrested by the security guards of the steel rolling mill!"

This was good, Zhang Heping found someone to vent to, and ran to the Houhai Subdistrict Office to make a phone call.

The classmates Zhao Jianguo and Chu Chuan were also angry and had no place to vent their anger. They called their playmates in their respective courtyards and rushed to Courtyard 95 to support Zhang Heping.

By the way, Ma Lili's father-in-law, Zhou Chengwen's father, Zhou Jinyi, cannot say many things because his unit far away in Western Xinjiang has confidentiality regulations.

The security guards at the steel rolling mill did not allow Zhou Jinyi to call to prove his innocence.

After Zhang Heping led people to search for gold bars from Xu Damao's home, gold bars from the home of Li Huaide, director of the steel rolling mill, and gold bars framed by Zhang Heping from Li Huaide's father-in-law's home...

Since then, no one in the nearby streets dared to provoke anyone from the Zhang family or the Zhou family.

However, no matter how powerful he is recently, he has not been able to solve the problem of going to the countryside.

But the time has arrived on February 2th, and tomorrow is the day to go south!
