Reborn in 1977

Chapter 712 Property Management

January 20th, Saturday.

Jiangnan Province, provincial capital airport, the plane landed with a roar, vibrated a few times, and then taxied on the runway for a while before slowly coming to a stop.

The cabin door opened, and Chen Fan walked out, finally exhaling a long breath.

Although he had a homemade parachute, it wouldn't have been useful if something had really happened with four people, including himself.

Chen Fan took the lead and walked down the ramp, followed by the Jiang sisters and Zhou Yali.

As they walked down, the two sisters' eyes were full of nostalgia, even though this was the provincial capital, not Yunhu, their eyes still held a bit of familiarity.

Being away for a year, not returning for a year, they really missed it.

First, they retrieved their luggage, and then went to the parking lot to get the car.

Seeing the GAZ off-road vehicle covered in dust, Zhou Yali couldn't help but open her mouth wide, "Old brother, you went to Beijing a month ago, and then went to Shanghai, this car wouldn't have been eating dust here for a month, right?!"

Chen Fan took out the key to open the door, and then gestured, "Don't just stand there, open all the car doors to air it out, there are rags under the seats, wipe off the dust."

He threw the leather bag containing the three gyrfalcons into the car, then walked to the back and opened the trunk door, stuffing the four people's luggage in.

Zhou Yali squatted down and successfully found a neatly folded rag under the seat, took it out and shook it. Fortunately, there was no dust.

However, she still shook it a few times with some disgust, then held two small monkeys in one hand and wiped the seat with the other, complaining, "The first thing after getting off the plane is cleaning? This kind of life experience is really a first!"

Chen Fan closed the back door, turned and walked to the driver's seat, and said with a smile, "Then congratulations, when you get home later, you will have to continue cleaning."

"Ah…"

Zhou Yali was a little manic, "Why isn't there a housekeeping company? Didn't you say that people's livelihood is complete and nothing is lacking?"

Chen Fan shrugged, "What's not lacking are shops, as for the service industry, it only provides catering and hotel services, housekeeping doesn't count."

The two sisters silently worked in the back, and seeing Zhou Yali's reaction, they kept holding back their laughter.

Saying that this young lady is delicate, she didn't say she wouldn't do it. When she's manic, she's still wiping the center console. Saying she's not delicate, she's always碎碎念(muttering), it's really hilarious.

The two quickly wiped the back seats once. As for a little residual dust, don't worry about it, let's go back and take a shower and change clothes.

In fact, after Chen Fan's redesign and modification, the sealing performance of this car is already very good, and it hasn't accumulated too much dust in a month.

If it were the original GAZ car, you'd have to bring a bucket of water first, and then change another bucket of water to wash it almost clean.

Chen Fan got in the car and sat down, inserted the key, and looked back.

The two sisters each held their bodyguards and sat in the back row, Zhou Yali held two small monkeys by herself, and pouted, "Old brother, is your home very big? I'm afraid I can't wipe it all."

Hearing this, Jiang Lili covered her mouth and smiled, "Cousin, when you get home later, you can rest, I'll do the wiping."

Jiang Tiantian smiled and didn't speak. Of course, she wouldn't let her sister do the cleaning alone, they would do it together when the time came.

Zhou Yali tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, "Share the blessings and share the difficulties, we definitely have to be together."

Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile, turned the key to start the car, and then stepped on the clutch, shifted gears, and turned the throttle, and sped out with a whoosh.

Compared to the last time he came to the airport, there seemed to be more cars on the way back.

That's right, there's only a week left until the Spring Festival, and there are more people returning home to visit relatives.

There is also the Spring Festival travel season this year. In 1979, the number of Spring Festival travelers in my country exceeded 100 million for the first time.

And when did the word "Spring Festival travel season" appear?

1954!

So many things that people think only appeared in later generations actually existed a long time ago.

However, compared to the large-scale population migration after the 1990s, the Spring Festival travel season at this time was mainly short-distance family visits, and the train and bus tickets at that time were manually printed.

On a ticket with a basic format printed on it, people used movable stamps to stamp the date and station on it, and used colors to indicate whether it was a hard seat or a soft seat. At that time, soft seat tickets were light blue, hard seat tickets were red, and there was also a short-distance suburban ticket, which was light purple.

Columns of green trains spewed thick smoke, sending passengers home.

Just like now, Chen Fan also drove home.

The home in the provincial capital.

The car drove to the entrance of Wenyi New Village. Chen Fan looked at the gatehouse that didn't exist when he left, and the iron gate about one meter high across the entrance, and gently pressed the horn.

A young man of about twenty years old walked out of the gatehouse, first looked at the license plate, glanced at the beautiful woman in the passenger seat, and then looked at the person in the driver's seat. After confirming, a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Yo, Vice Chairman Chen is back, I'll open the door."

Then he pulled the iron gate and slowly slid it to the west.

Hey, it's a sliding door.

Chen Fan took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his bag and threw it over, asking, "What's your name?"

He usually carries three kinds of cigarettes, high, medium, and low, in his pocket. He gives different cigarettes to different people.

It's not that he looks down on people, but that he should give different treatment to different people. Giving too low is not good, and giving too high is not necessarily a good thing. He learned this from Captain Yang.

The man hurriedly took the cigarette. Seeing that it was Zhonghua, a smile immediately bloomed on his face. He quickly put the cigarette in his pocket, stepped forward and smiled, "Thank you, Vice Chairman Chen, my name is Wan Yong. I used to be in the security section of the Cultural Palace, but now I've been transferred here to be responsible for security work."

After a pause, Wan Yong added, "There is a phone in the security room. You can call here if you need anything, anything is fine. We can solve most things."

Chen Fan laughed when he heard this. Isn't this the property management he mentioned to He Qingsheng?

This property management is not the property company of later generations, but an affiliated service section under the unit, mainly serving the residents living here.

And these residents are basically cadres and employees of the literary and art system units, which is equivalent to serving the people of their own unit.

As for the first formal property management company in China, it will have to wait until 1981, and it will still be in Shenzhen.

Chen Fan pointed to the retracted iron sliding door and asked, "Why did you install this?"

Wan Yong immediately said, "Oh, this was decided by the leaders, saying that outsiders can't be allowed to enter casually."

Speaking of this, Wan Yong took another step forward and lowered his voice to whisper, "More and more educated youth are returning to the city during this period. Some people don't have jobs and are wandering around in the streets. In addition, there are many idlers who originally stayed in the city. When these people get together, it's a mess."

In case those people mix in, even if they don't steal or rob, it would be bad if they bumped into the masses. Anyway, the people living here are all from the same system, so we simply installed this gate to prevent outsiders from coming in."

Chen Fan pursed his lips and nodded, "Yeah, that's good."

He was about to start the car and go in when Zhou Yali suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

Chen Fan turned to look, and Zhou Yali pursed her lips in a fake smile, pointing at the rag.

Seeing the dirty cloth, Chen Fan instantly understood.

Immediately, he turned to look at Wan Yong and smiled, "Comrade Wan, you just said that we can come to you if we need anything?"

Wan Yong immediately nodded, "Yes, if there are problems with water, electricity, or the sewer, you can come to us. If your family needs to go out to buy something, or send something out, and you need someone to run errands, we can also handle it when we have manpower in our service department. If there's no one, you'll just have to wait."

He said, smiling, "These are all free of charge. All expenses are paid by the various units living here."

Chen Fan couldn't help but grin. Good heavens, the service is more complete than property management but doesn't charge a fee. This level is comparable to a hotel butler.

At this moment, Wan Yong looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said softly, "Actually, the leaders saw that many educated youths outside didn't have jobs, so they newly established this service department to create job opportunities for them."

Chen Fan's eyes flickered slightly, "What do you mean?"

Wan Yong smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious? Except for a few team leaders in the service department, like me, who were transferred from various units, the others were all newly recruited from returning educated youths. Otherwise, how could those young punks who haven't even held a gun a few times get in to be security guards? Wouldn't that be a joke!"

Chen Fan pursed his lips and nodded slowly, paused for a few seconds, then raised his head and smiled, "That's right, Team Leader Wan, my house hasn't been lived in for a month, there should be a lot of dust inside…"

Before he could finish speaking, Wan Yong immediately nodded and smiled, "I understand, I understand. That's right, you go back first, and I'll arrange for someone to go over and clean it up for you."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, then took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over, "Then thank you very much."

Wan Yong quickly waved his hand repeatedly, "No need, no need, you just gave me one."

Chen Fan pushed it forward again, smiling, "Take it."

Wan Yong smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the leader didn't seem to be polite, he slowly took it, "Then, I won't be polite."

Immediately, he took two steps back, watched the car drive in, and then looked at the cigarette in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the legendary Vice Chairman Chen, he is indeed very generous, and he gives out Peonies."

The next second, he slapped his forehead sharply, "My brain, I have to quickly arrange for someone to go to Vice Chairman Chen's place!"

Today is a working day, there are not many people in the community, and the weather is cold, so there are not many people strolling outside, so they drove smoothly to their yard.

The four of them got out of the car at the same time. Chen Fan opened the trunk first, unloaded the luggage, and then went to open the gate.

The two sisters threw the tabby cat out, and then busied themselves carrying luggage.

The two cats rolled and landed on the ground, and without being told, they scurried out, they wanted to familiarize themselves with the territory, so as to strengthen their defense.

The three golden eagles flapped their wings and landed on the dawn redwood in the yard, watching all directions majestically.

Zhou Yali hugged the two little monkeys and ran to the waterfront platform by the lake in a puff of smoke, looking at the big lake in front of her, her eyes full of surprise, "The scenery here is so beautiful!"

Chen Fan was too lazy to care about her, just shouted, "Don't stay outside for too long, the lake wind is very strong, be careful of catching a cold."

Zhou Yali followed the good advice and turned around and ran in, turning her head and looking around, "Brother, which room is mine?"

Chen Fan slapped his forehead, looked left and right, and finally pointed to the master bedroom, "The three of you sleep in this room."

Seeing the three of them looking at him together, Chen Fan spread his hands, "Only this room has a kang, you…"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yali jumped up in a flash, "There's a kang? I want to sleep on the kang!"

The two sisters also understood what Chen Fan meant, and smiled and carried the luggage into the room together.

Entering the door is a set of rosewood study furniture, a large desk, a bookcase filled with many books, and a display stand with many decorations, which looks antique.

Passing through the passage next to the display stand is a large kang, two meters by two meters, next to the display stand is a set of large wardrobes. Further inside is a small bathroom.

Zhou Yali put the two little monkeys on the desk, turned around and went inside, wanting to jump on the kang when she saw it.

Then Jiang Tiantian grabbed her, "Are you stupid, this kang is full of dust, you can only go up after cleaning it."

Zhou Yali turned her head and smiled foolishly, "Forgot."

Then she touched the big kang, a few doubts flashed in her eyes, "It's not hot either?"

Jiang Lili couldn't help laughing, "It hasn't been lit yet."

Chen Fan had already entered the kitchen, saw that the firewood and other fuels were all there, and started to heat the kang.

Just as he lit the stove, someone was calling at the door outside. Chen Fan went out to take a look and saw that six girls in their twenties had come all at once.

Looking at their appearance, each of them had short hair, wearing aprons and sleeves, and carrying buckets, mops, brooms, and rags.

No need to ask, Wan Yong must have called them to work.

Without saying much, these female workers with their own tools began to work.

They didn't fetch water in the yard, but went directly to the lake to fetch water, saying that it could save water bills.

Chen Fan really admired them and gave a thumbs up, this job is really professional!

The Jiang sisters were not idle either. Since they didn't have to do the large-scale cleaning, they specialized in cleaning personal items.

For example, the big kang, the two of them lay on it and wiped it repeatedly five times, and after wiping it, it was spotless.

Then they went to make the big bed in the guest room, which is where Chen Fan sleeps.

Even Chen Fan was heating water, first heating water for drinking, then heating water for washing.

Only Zhou Yali was idle on the side.

The eldest lady hugged the two little monkeys, her face full of innocence, and ran to Chen Fan for a while, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

Chen Fan looked at her, couldn't imagine what she could do? So he waved his hand, "Stay aside."

Zhou Yali pouted, and ran to the two sisters in a puff of smoke, "Tiantian, Lili, is there anything you need my help with?"

The two sisters looked at each other, looked at the busy figures next to them in an orderly manner, and felt that they were a whole, and there was no need for outsiders to intervene at all.

Looking at what they did, it was almost the same, Jiang Tiantian said, "Why don't you go to the study to rest for a while?"

Jiang Lili also nodded repeatedly, "When we finished wiping the kang just now, I touched it, the kang is already hot, why don't you go and try it?"

Zhou Yali pouted, hugged the little monkey and turned around silently, "Okay then."

No one wants to help, it's too miserable.
