Today is the day when Father He burns his head.
He Siwei fell ill and was left at home by his stepmother.
While there was no one at home, she opened the kang mat and removed the movable red kang tiles. A hole was revealed underneath, and inside was a tin biscuit box with a New Year picture doll painted on it.
Inside the tin box were two pieces of paper folded in half. Under the paper were two ancient books with dark yellow covers.
The ancient books are traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and some medical cases passed down by the ancestors of the He family.
She only picked up two pieces of paper.
Open the first piece of paper and see the pattern on the paper first.
There are ten conspicuous red pennants. In the middle of the pennant is a red five-pointed star. The yellow tassels and the pennant are circled in a rectangular shape on the white paper. At the top of the middle of the rectangle is written Chairman Mao's quotation: Our educational policy should enable educators to develop in moral education, intellectual education, and physical education, and become educated workers with socialist consciousness.
The following line of text contains four large characters:
diploma.
Then there were two lines of small letters that read;
The student, He Siwei, is a female and is 18 years old... After completing her study period, she meets the graduation requirements and is allowed to graduate. This certificate is specially given to her.
In the lower right corner is the seal of the Revolutionary Committee and the date: July 18, 1971.
Second sheet of paper.
It's a house deed.
There are black and white words on the paper, and the big characters on it are read from right to left: Land Property Ownership Certificate.
The small characters in the middle are read from right to left, and the last date is 41, 1951.
He Siwei folded the house deed and put it in his pocket.
The tin box was put back into place, restoring everything to its original state.
She was reborn last night.
What happened in the summer of 1971 is still fresh in her mind even after a lifetime.
The father, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, suddenly jumped off the building and passed away in the workers' hospital. After she and her stepmother took care of his funeral affairs, she fell ill.
Just when she was graduating from high school, her stepmother took advantage of her illness and secretly asked her half-sister to take over her father's job. According to current regulations, if her employer does not accept her, she must go to the countryside.
He Siwei could only go to the countryside.
In the previous life, the day before going to the countryside, the stepmother left a note and secretly took her five-year-old brother away, saying that when she returned to her hometown, the He family's house was also rented to relatives by the stepmother, and He Siwei was alone with ten yuan in his pocket. Went to the countryside.
This ten yuan was secretly given to her by her half-brother the night before.
The tragedy of her previous life also started from here, pushing her life into the abyss step by step.
He Siwei put away her thoughts. She wanted to take care of the house before her stepmother came back.
Her family lived in the courtyard of Siyi Factory. When she came out of the alley, she saw Aunt Shao, who lived in a courtyard, talking to a strange man in military uniform.
The man's voice was low, "...the house doesn't need to be too big, just a quiet location."
He Siwei was overjoyed and strode over, "Comrade, do you want to rent a house?"
She handed the white paper in her hand to the man. The word 'for rent' was written on the white paper.
The man in military uniform looked over, his voice was as cold as his temperament, "Do you have a house for rent?"
He Siwei said, "The house I live in now is for rent, and I was about to go out to post an advertisement. What a coincidence, you happen to be renting a house as well."
Men are often very handsome.
But He Siwei felt that the man in front of him could be described as beautiful.
He is tall, with a tall nose and thin lips, a cold face, sharp black eyes, and a cold temperament all over his body. He is dressed in a green military uniform and carries a majesty that cannot be ignored.
The other person was very tall, so He Siwei always had to raise his head when talking to him.
Aunt Shao on the side also opened her mouth to help with recommendations.
"The He family's house is in the corner of the family building at the end. It also has a yard where you can grow vegetables in summer. It's hard to find something like this in our urban area. If you want to find a quiet place, their house is really the only one in our family building. suitable."
Living in the same courtyard, everyone knows about the He family.
She also felt sorry for the child He Siwei, "Comrade, why don't you go and have a look, maybe I can close your eyes."
Shen Guoping nodded, his cold eyes scanning the girl's face
When the girl looks at you, she looks delicate and timid. When she looks at you with her watery eyes, she looks like a frightened deer, which makes you feel pity and can't bear to say harsh words.
The He family's house is a single-family house with a large red tile roof.
At the back is the main house, in the front is the wing room, and connecting the two rooms is a vegetable garden in the middle.
He's father was very good at medicine and worked at the Siyi Factory Workers' Hospital. He saved the factory director's mother back then, so the factory director approved a house number for the He family. He's father built this red brick house, which was the only one in the family's hospital. .
After He's father got married again five years ago, his wife converted the front room into a canteen, which brought in good income. However, due to He's father's death these days, the canteen has also been closed.
In his previous life, He Siwei thought that his stepmother was too sad to run a canteen because of his father's divorce. Later, he realized that his stepmother had already gotten along with someone else and took away the job left by his father. Even the house left by his father was rented. Sold in name.
He Siwei came back too late after being reborn, and even going to the countryside for work could not change the outcome, but it was not too late to deal with the house.
Shen Guoping looked around and was very satisfied with the house. "I plan to rent it for a long time. If you only rent it for a short period, I'm afraid it won't be suitable."
The man's cold voice caused He Siwei to withdraw his thoughts.
"This is a long-term lease, but I don't know how many years you want to rent it?"
He Siwei silently counted the days when the college entrance examination would resume in his previous life, "Can I rent it for ten years?"
After returning from the exam, she may not be able to go back to live at home, so the longer the time, the better, and the more money she will get.
The other party didn't answer, but looked directly at her, his cold eyes prying.
He Siwei explained, "I will go to the countryside in a few days. I don't know when I will come back. My stepmother will take my brother back to my hometown. A higher rent for a long-term rental can make our life easier."
The surroundings were quiet, and He Siwei felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his body.
She was afraid that the other party would see that she was lying.
She was also anxious. If her stepmother came back at this time, many things would happen if she wanted to rent out the house.
Shen Guoping was silent for a while, "Ten years is enough. How much is the rent? I don't have that much cash. I can give you part of it first, and then..."
Seeing that things were done, He Siwei smiled.
"National food stamps are also acceptable. The rent is five yuan a month, which is sixty yuan a year. Since you rent for a long time, I will charge you fifty yuan, which is five hundred yuan a year. Do you think it's okay?"
Shen Guoping, "Okay, then I will..."
"I can write the contract now. How much money do you have with you? You can just give me a small deposit first, and bring the rest to me tomorrow. Or you can tell me the address and I will pick it up from you."
Shen Guoping didn't say yes or no.
He looked down at his watch and then raised his head, "It's ten past eleven now. I have to rush back to the army at half past eleven."
"There's enough time."
He Siwei turned around and ran towards the house.
Tomorrow, the stepmother will come to the house with renters, but the truth is that after getting the money from selling the house, the stepmother will go back to her hometown with her five-year-old brother the next day.
But it wasn't until she returned to the city in her previous life and made inquiries that she found out that her stepmother had remarried with the money from selling her house. She gave birth to a pair of twins the year after she got married. Her half-brother was also killed by the twins.
In this life, she must stop this and save her brother's life.
He Siwei handed the written contract to the other party, "I've signed it. If you think it's okay, just sign it."
She held the ink pad over again. Her father was a doctor, so the family had these things.
The content of the contract is simple, with only a few sentences, but it is explained clearly.
Shen Guoping is a soldier and is very efficient. He scanned it and signed without any problem and then took his fingerprint.
The contract was returned to his hand, and He Siwei finally let out a breath as he looked at the powerful words on it.
By chance, a voice sounded behind the two of them.
"Siwei, are there any guests at your house?"
While he was talking, people had already walked in and took a few strides to He Siwei's side.
He Siwei didn't collect the contract in time, and when the other party saw it, screams started to sound at the same time, "Siwei, if you rent out the house, where will your stepmother and the others live?"
[(There is a plot in the book about opening a canteen. It was an elder’s personal experience. It was not written blindly. It was specially approved by the factory because the elders helped the factory collect debts owed by others and treated each matter differently. There are also inside I checked the prices in various places online at that time, and confirmed with the elderly at home. I still have seven or eight price books from 1969 to 1978, including paper books, six traditional Chinese medicine books, and one from the 1950s. In the books on clothing from various places in the 1990s, the Great Northern Wilderness written in them was not about being tortured because of torture. I also made the hard things not so painful. The elders in my family have experienced it and said that I had many typos and polyphonic words because of it. I haven't checked it out. I admit this. I have been making changes after receiving feedback from readers. However, if you say that I made up some prices or deliberately sold them badly, I don't accept it. Thank you for your support. This is a book that ordinary people can slowly experience. Some things, live out of yourself...)]
