My courtyard shelter

A month later, it was August.

The turbulent July finally passed. During this month, the old Xu family had been ignoring the outside world and staying at home quietly.

Except for going to and from get off work, they basically did not go out.

The resistance to the "housing reform" was indeed huge. It was only implemented by force. The effect was very significant and greatly alleviated the housing contradiction, but the price paid was not small.

I won't say more here.

However, the "housing reform" also brought a "side effect", that is, the above promised that no property tax would be levied within 50 years.

This is probably a slap in the face and then a sweet date!

This move was a great bargain for the Xu Dong family. Not only did they not lose anything, but they didn't have to pay property tax. It was a veritable "win without doing anything".

These days, Xu's mother's smile never stopped.

At dinner time, Xu's father brought up the old things again.

"Third brother, we didn't buy that office building last time, thanks to your advice. Otherwise, we would have taken on a loan of more than 200 million yuan in vain. Even if I didn't die of anger, I would have lost half my life."

Xu Dong was quite pleased: "Why, commercial real estate has also started to be implemented?"

"The document was just issued this morning. In fact, everyone had expected it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so urgent and start so soon." Xu's father sighed.

"Dad, what's there to sigh about? Your company doesn't have any real estate, and this has nothing to do with our family."

Xu's father waved his hand: "Why is it not related? Our company's office buildings are all rented, and we don't know what will happen next?"

"What else can it be? It must be the same as before, just changing the landlord." Xu Dong comforted.

Xu's father breathed a sigh of relief. His son's words have never been wrong, and he must be right.

"I don't know if the rent will rise or fall?"

"Even if it rises, it probably won't rise much!" Xu Dong speculated.

"That makes me feel relieved."

Mother Xu took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "If the rent goes up, just think of it as paying property tax."

"Mom, when did you become so generous?" Xu Dong joked.

"Alas, it's all because of your Aunt Wang's family. I always feel uncomfortable." Mother Xu sighed.

Xu Dong asked curiously, "What happened to Aunt Wang's family?"

"Let me tell you!"

Yang Lina took over the conversation, "Aunt Wang came to visit us this afternoon. They didn't keep any of their two houses. Now they live in a public rental house. The whole family of five lives in a 60-square-meter house."

"What's going on?" Xu Dong was surprised.

"According to Aunt Wang, it seems to be a mandatory requirement from above, saying that they should take the lead and set an example. As long as they are at the department level or above, they must take the initiative to hand over all their properties, unless..."

"Unless what?" Xu Dong asked.

"No one can escape unless you quit your job."

"Do you have to be so cruel?"

Xu Dong touched his head. He had never heard of the relevant news in his previous life. During that period, Xiaobao died first, and then Erbao fell ill. He had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.

Dad Xu was very relieved:

"This is nothing. In our era, everyone went through this.

As a leader, you must take the lead and set an example. As long as the upper and lower levels are united, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Xu Dong fed Xiaobao a piece of tofu.

He could not understand this kind of family and country feelings. In his previous life, he lost his sons one after another, which made him develop a small family spirit. His family is his foundation and more important than his own life.

"I admire Aunt Wang very much. She didn't show any sadness in the afternoon. She kept talking and laughing! If it were me, a house worth tens of millions was sold for hundreds of thousands. I couldn't even cry." Yang Lina smiled bitterly.

"It's a pattern problem for others." Xu Dong smiled.

Xu's mother shook her head: "Your Aunt Wang must feel bad. Nana cut a watermelon, but she didn't eat much."

"Every loss has its own gain. This is not necessarily a bad thing!" Xu's father sighed.

"I think what Dad said makes sense." Xu Dong agreed.

...

After dinner, three uninvited guests came to the house, and Xu's mother quickly invited them to the living room.

"Hello, we are from the Municipal Children's Bureau."

Xu Dong suspected that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously asked: "What bureau?"

A staff member wearing glasses took out his ID: "The Children's Bureau was established at the beginning of the month and is responsible for matters related to child welfare and assistance in the capital area."

"Uh, then you are here..."

"Mr. Xu, we are here this time mainly to do a physical examination for your child. According to the requirements of the city, the health status of children in the city needs to be filed."

Xu Dong shook his head: "I don't quite understand. Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Uh, Mr. Xu, I guess you have heard about the evil landlord incident that was so noisy before?"

Xu Dong nodded.

"In order to prevent similar tragedies, the city has decided to set up a children's bureau. Any family that is unable to raise children can have our official agency raise their children as long as they apply.

In addition, we will conduct regular physical examinations on all children in the city. If the health status does not meet the standards, we will also intervene forcibly."

The staff member then took out a booklet: "This is our brochure. It is very detailed. You can take a look."

Xu Dong took the booklet, flipped through it, and then asked his mother to bring all the children out.

Five children, lined up in a row.

The physical examination process was very simple. The main items were measuring height and weight, and also checking the tongue and limb muscles. That was about it.

The whole process took less than ten minutes.

"Mr. Xu, your children are very healthy, especially this little friend Xu Le, who is a little overweight. This is the first time I have seen her like this."

"I don't know what's going on. She is the only one in the family who is prone to obesity. She gets fat even if she drinks water."

Xu Dong responded casually, and at the same time made up his mind that he must urge Le Le to strengthen physical exercise. Fat people are too conspicuous these days.

"Really?" The staff was skeptical.

"Well, how often do you come for a physical examination?" Xu Dong quickly changed the subject.

"Once every three months, Xu Ke and Xu Le, their school will organize regular experiences, we are only responsible for preschool children."

"I understand."

After filling out the file, the staff asked routinely: "Mr. Xu, does your family need to apply for custody?"

"No, thank you." Xu Dong shook his head quickly.

The staff had already seen that this family was not short of money at all, and their living conditions seemed quite good, so they did not persuade them again.

"Please sign here, head of the household."

After signing his name, Xu Dong personally sent the three staff members out of the house.

The capital really deserves to be the capital, and the welfare benefits are perfect. Although Luyang in the previous life also had similar policies, there was no so-called "forced intervention" at all, and you need to apply for it yourself.

And the review is very strict.
