Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Yang Kaixuan sat on the back of the bicycle, and Lin Zhengjun rode the bicycle towards the bank, and then continued: "Brother-in-law, I have carefully considered the way out for my eldest sister!"

"She stayed at home to work in the fields, not only did she not earn much money, but if you were not at home, your mother and the others might torture my sister again!"

Yang Kaixuan said: "Zhengjun, don't worry about this. I will definitely deal with them. They dare not."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Even if we don't argue anymore, after all, we have had conflicts and estrangements. Living together again will make everyone uncomfortable, right?"

Yang Kaixuan nodded: "That's right. Anyway, I work at the bank and my salary is not low. It's no problem to support them. Then let your sister live in the county town!"

"Who said my sister needs you to support her? The old people said that women hold up half the sky!"

Lin Zhengjun asked, "You came back from the southern military region. You traveled hundreds of kilometers by train and bus. Have you found any changes in the world?"

“What a huge change!”

Yang Kaixuan said: "The most obvious thing is that in big cities there are collective cooperatives selling tea and melon seeds, and towns have also opened rural markets. Most of them are collective, but there are also individual ones. It seems that no one cares too much!"

"Yes, as you can see, the regulation of the private economy is becoming more and more relaxed."

Lin Zhengjun said: "I want my sister to be a self-employed person. My sister may not be good at other things, but she is a good cook. I want to support her to open her first small self-employed restaurant in Huaibian County!"

Lin Zhengjun never believes in human nature!

Now it can be seen that Yang Kaixuan has deep feelings for his eldest sister, and he himself is a man who values ​​love and friendship!

But people change!

If one day Yang Kaixuan becomes the president of a bank, or even gets to a higher position, and my eldest sister is still a housewife, can the relationship between the couple still be maintained?

In his previous life, Lin Zhengjun had seen too many successful people from poor backgrounds abandon their wives!

Even if the wife is the child of a cadre and her family has given strong support to her husband when he starts a business, they will still abandon him and find a new love!

Mr. Wang of Vanke, please find out more!

Lin Zhengjun never morally condemns these contemporary Chen Shimei ungrateful men, because he understands that there are profound reasons behind it!

They are constantly growing and improving, while their partners remain where they are. The couple have less and less common language, and their differences in world views are becoming greater and greater!

To put it bluntly, the differences between people are sometimes even greater than the differences between species!

To take a step back, even if Yang Kaixuan values ​​feelings and does not abandon his elder sister, if his elder sister does not make progress, he will probably think that she has a narrow vision and short-sightedness, and the relationship will not be very good!

Therefore, Lin Zhengjun must make careful arrangements and give more guidance to help his sister grow up step by step and keep up with Yang Kaixuan's footsteps!

As for how far she will grow, that depends on her understanding and luck!

However, Lin Zhengjun still has confidence.

My eldest sister is just kind, not stupid. She is very intelligent and her grades were among the best in the school when she was in junior high school.

"Open a restaurant? Your eldest sister used to be a chef at a rural banquet. Her cooking is really delicious!"

Yang Kaixuan said worriedly: "But, isn't this a competition with state-owned restaurants? I'm afraid the policy will change!"

Yang Kaixuan’s worries are not unreasonable!

The country's liberalization of the private economy is like squeezing toothpaste!

The Third Plenary Session of the 1978th Central Committee in passed two agricultural documents, lifting the ban on rural industrial and agricultural commerce (referring to collective cooperatives run by production teams and teams), household sideline businesses and collective markets.

In February this year, when 800 million educated youth returned to cities, the state approved the first document on developing the individual economy in order to ease the employment pressure of unemployed young people in cities:

"Local governments may, based on market needs, approve some idle laborers with formal household registration to engage in repair, service and individual handicraft labor."

There are two things to note about this document:

1. This so-called "formal household registration" refers to an urban household registration, which is originally intended to facilitate employment for unemployed people in cities.

Strictly speaking, it is not allowed for you rural people to do these things in the city!

2. Mainly engaged in individual labor and services, not buying and selling materials!

Under the planned economic system, there were regulations for three levels of materials, and even local areas compiled clear catalog manuals!

In particular, one type of materials or commodities, namely grain, cotton, and edible oil, which are subject to the state's unified purchase and marketing policy, are strictly prohibited from being bought and sold by individuals.

If you dare to touch it, it’s called speculation!

The second category includes materials purchased through contracts with the state-owned commercial system and supply and marketing cooperatives, such as live pigs, tobacco leaves, castor beans and other important agricultural products.

The purchase of these agricultural products is no different from the centralized purchase, except that they are allowed to be freely traded after completing the national purchase task. If they are traded before completing the task, there will be problems!

Another issue is whether the scale of production means and the number of employees constitute capitalist exploitation.

Nian Guangjiu, the owner of Shazi Guazi, and Chen Xiongzhi, the fish pond contractor, were widely questioned for employing too many workers, more than eight. In 1981, the People's Daily published more than 20 articles discussing the issue of the number of workers employed by Chen Xiongzhi in fish farming. Nian Guangjiu only avoided any problems because Mr. Deng had given him a golden word!

Therefore, don’t ever think that after the reform and opening up, all policies will be implemented all at once.

In fact, strictly speaking, until 1991, what was implemented was still a planned commodity economy rather than a real market economy!

Some large cities now allow the opening of small private restaurants.

However, they are all operating without a license!

In Yanjing, a year later in 1980, a middle-aged woman named Liu Guixian would unexpectedly take away the city’s first individual restaurant license.

Her small restaurant is located in Cuihua Hutong, Dongcheng District, and is called Yuebin Restaurant.

In order to encourage her to open a restaurant, on New Year’s Eve of that year, two vice presidents and managers personally came to her home to wish her a happy new year, officially demonstrating the country’s support for self-employed individuals!

However, even so, for many years, private restaurants were still a new thing in most county towns. If they were not loved by uncles or grandmothers, they would be harassed or even banned by certain departments!

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "I will help you find a great guy!"

"Who?"

"Bai Weiguo, the former director of the County Planning Bureau, the county magistrate's biological father!"

"The county magistrate's biological father? How do you have the chance to know such an important figure?" Yang Kaixuan couldn't believe it.

"It was a coincidence..." Lin Zhengjun repeated.

Yang Kaixuan was amazed and said excitedly: "Zhengjun, this is a good idea. Pull him on the pirate ship. No one in Huaibian County will dare to rob Bai Weiguo's restaurant!"

"Make no mistake, the boss is my sister, he's just a buddy!"

Yang Kaixuan was dumbfounded for a moment, then continued: "But, General, what would Bai Weiguo be willing to do? At this level, his pension is not low, and his son is the county magistrate, so he is not short of money at all!"

"Will!"

Lin Zhengjun said confidently: "The old man is bored every day, but he is also a person who can't sit still. He likes to do something every day!"

"Did you know? He actually participated in the arrest of the North Street Bank blast and robbery case, and shot three robbers. He sneaked in without saying hello, carrying a Type 38 rifle!"

"Interesting, the old man is a wonderful person!" Yang Kaixuan couldn't help laughing.

"In addition, the old man is open-minded and cannot stand the poor service attitude of state-owned restaurants. He even had a battle with the waiters before."

"Break, break the head?"

"Breaking their heads and scolding them!"

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "Anyway, he dreams of making the state-owned restaurants lose. He would definitely be happy to open a private restaurant and compete with the state-owned restaurants!"

"Okay, okay, this is reliable, I support it!" Yang Kaixuan said with a smile.

"Of course, we can't rush this. My sister still has to recuperate and breastfeed the baby. It won't be too late for us to do it after she's done with the confinement!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.
