Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Since leaving the kitchen of Fengzeyuan, I have been able to manage my own time every day.

He Yuzhu has now finished drawing the comic strips he was working on, and the only things left to memorize are a few books given by Grandpa Zhang.

If you want to remember book knowledge deeply, copying it down carefully is a good way.

It's just a good opportunity for him to get used to using traditional Chinese characters and practice his calligraphy.

Every day's fulfilling study life is dull and dull. He Yuzhu has also gained a lot of knowledge from books and has settled down in the process.

In the living room, three members of the He family were sitting around an octagonal table eating dinner.

He Daqing broke the silence in the room and asked He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I have something to tell you. See how you feel about it."

He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and looked at him in surprise: "Dad, what's the matter? Are you looking for a wife?"

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu talking nonsense, he waved his hands in anger: "Get lost! Stop talking nonsense! Let's talk about business!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Just tell me!"

"Recently, the factory's labor union has been promoting the purchase of government bonds. I think the returns are quite good. I have also saved some money recently, and I don't know if it is reliable." He Daqing told him the story.

When He Yuzhu heard the word "public debt", his mind immediately thought of the national debt in his previous life.

This government bond is a great investment that you can't even buy. Why hesitate? Just buy it.

"What do you mean reliable or not? I think you are the unreliable one! You have tried this current account discount savings before, so tell me whether it is useful or not?"

He Daqing thought about it and realized that using current savings discounts over the past few months had indeed reduced a lot of losses.

He nodded in agreement and said uncertainly, "Then I'll buy them all?"

"Of course! Have you had any big expenses recently?"

He Daqing shook his head when he heard this. Now that he had a house and a bicycle, he didn't have to spend much on food and drink.

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing, "Just be proactive in this matter. Weren't you afraid of being reported before? If you don't show initiative now, when will you show initiative?"

After hearing what he said, He Daqing's expression changed and he looked at He Yuzhu with a sullen face.

Anyone who is scolded by his own son will not feel good no matter whether the matter is right or wrong.

He Yuzhu saw his face darken and knew something bad was going to happen. He threw the chopsticks on the table and slid out of the living room swiftly.

"I'm going back to the house now that I'm full. You guys continue eating!"

Yu Shui raised her head and watched He Yuzhu disappear into the living room, then turned to look at He Daqing.

Although I don’t understand it, I think it looks very cool!

She stretched out her chopsticks, put a bunch of dishes in her bowl, lowered her head and began to eat them. She thought that the dishes made by her elder brother had become even more delicious.

He Yuzhu was thinking about the government bonds and whether he could buy some.

He calculated in his mind how much savings he had in his pocket and felt that he could buy government bonds.

The purpose of issuing government bonds is to control inflation, regulate the market and stabilize prices.

I don’t have to worry about food and drink now, and the income from my savings is not that much.

It would be better to use all the money to buy government bonds. It will benefit the country and yourself, so why not do it?

The next morning, He Yuzhu looked at the sky. It was neither snowy nor clear, so he planned to go out to buy government bonds.

The snow on the road in the alley has been cleared and piled on both sides of the road.

He Yuzhu rode slowly on the road, thinking about this matter in his mind, but he was completely in the dark and had no idea where to go.

"I can't go to the police station for this matter, right? There's no street office to consult now. I'll just go to the bank branch directly."

After he figured this out in his mind, he turned his bike around and rode towards Yinxing.

He Yuzhu came to the business point where he opened a savings account, walked into the hall, looked around, and walked towards the lobby manager he was familiar with.

"Hello, Manager Zou!"

Zou Zhi had just finished assisting a customer with his business when he heard a greeting from behind him. He turned around and looked at the person who came.

"Comrade Xiao He, it's you! Today is not the end of the month, what other business do you want to handle?"

Zou Zhi extended his hand and asked He Yuzhu to walk to an empty space aside and start a detailed discussion.

He Yuzhu followed Zou Zhi to the side and asked him, "Manager Zou, I don't come to you for no reason. I'm here today to ask you about the People's Victory Bonds."

When Zou Zhi heard him mention the government debt, he asked, "Oh, I didn't expect you to act so quickly! What is it that you don't understand?"

He Yuzhu shrugged and explained, "I now know that the factory can purchase through the union, but I don't know how to do it if I subscribe voluntarily. That's why I came to you today."

Zou Zhi thought for a moment, organized his words and said, "Well, let me tell you about the situation. The government bonds have just been issued, with a total of 100 million shares issued. You should be able to catch up if you go and subscribe.

The specific value of each cent is the same as previous savings, anchored to the physical price to protect the interests of buyers.

You can go to the district office according to your financial ability, submit a subscription application there, and confirm the information. "

"Can't I just do it at your bank?" He Yuzhu asked after listening to his explanation.

Zou Zhi pointed at the bank staff and looked at him: "Look, there are only so many of us. How can we handle it? We can't even verify the personnel information."

He Yuzhu knew that there was a shortage of people everywhere. The illiteracy rate was so high that there were too few people who could be employed, and the professional talents needed by the bank were even more scarce.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Zou! I'll go to the district office to apply right away."

"Okay, Comrade Xiao He. You did a lot to promote the savings last time. If you have any questions about the policy in the future, you can come and ask me."

He Yuzhu responded modestly: "You praised me, it's all because of the good policies. I just started it to let the neighbors know that the country cares about everyone."

After parting with Zou Zhi, He Yuzhu rode his bike to the district office. He had not been here since the street government was abolished in the middle of the year.

After registering at the gate, He Yuzhu followed the instructions given by the guard and went to the Civil Affairs Department.

He arrived outside an office, looked up at the wooden sign hanging on the door frame, made sure he was in the right place, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

He Yuzhu heard the sound coming from inside the house and walked into the office.

This is a multi-workstation office. At this moment, there is only one female comrade at the office, who is pouring water from a thermos.

"Comrade, what do you need?" The female comrade put down the thermos and asked He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at her, and when he saw her face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Comrade Wang!?"

When she heard this name, she looked at He Yuzhu in confusion, as if he was not someone she knew.

"Oh! Did you forget? During the ceremony, I brought my little sister with me and you helped arrange the seats for us."

When Wang Xia heard him mention this incident, she immediately remembered it and said with a smile: "Xiao He, it's you! Haha! I will never forget this!"

He Yuzhu stepped forward and shook her hand warmly, thanking her: "Thank you so much for last time! I didn't expect to meet you again this time."

Wang Xia felt his sincerity and said with a smile: "It was also arranged by the leader last time, and I didn't contribute much. Xiao He, I wonder why you are here this time?"

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot about it because I was so happy." He Yuzhu scratched his head and continued, "I'm here to apply for the subscription of government bonds."

"Oh, we haven't even started the large-scale publicity yet. You found out about this so quickly?"

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "My father works at the Zhenhua Steel Rolling Mill. The factory union has started propaganda, so I know about it now!"

Wang Xia said solemnly: "This is all based on the principle of voluntariness. Don't follow the trend blindly."

"How can that be possible! Look, I'm walking in front. If you want to talk about following the trend, then it's others who are following me!"

Wang Xia laughed when she heard what he said: "Haha! You are smart. Then tell me how much you plan to buy?"

"It's up to you to calculate the exact amount. I've brought the money. Here it is."

He Yuzhu said as he took the money out of his bag and placed the folded money on her desk.

"Wow! This is a lot of money! Did you steal the money from your family?" Wang Xia looked at him suspiciously when she saw He Yuzhu taking out so much money.

He Yuzhu pointed at the money in front of him and explained, "Don't say that, I made all this by myself.

I'm a cook myself, and I have access to good ingredients. Some people just need these things to look good. You understand?"

Wang Xia understood that this was a way to make money, and the middlemen made profits from the price difference of the old people.

She nodded to show that she understood: "Then sit down and wait, I will calculate for you how many points you can apply for."

"Okay, you're busy!"

He Yuzhu watched her take out the notebook, check the latest exchange rates announced by the People's Bank of China every ten days, fiddle with the beads on the abacus, and record the data in the notebook.

Wang Xia calculated the score in a short time and finally got it correct.

She looked up at He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, the total is 340 points, and there is still some left. How much do you want to apply for?"

He Yuzhu thought for a while before responding: "Just help me subscribe for 340 points. I won't have to worry about food and drink, so I might as well make some contribution."

"Okay! Xiao He, you have a good understanding. Then I will apply for it for you. Please leave your mailing address. I will give you a certificate after it is approved."
