Chapter 1901 Policy
The next morning, the hotel room was in complete chaos. The previous night, they had only tidied up briefly, but the next day they continued to stuff things into it.
The lobby floor was piled higher and higher with bundles, suitcases, and woven bags.
When they arrived, each person only had one bag, but as they entered the hall one by one, their luggage seemed to have doubled in size.
The open space was piled high with all sorts of local specialties, big and small.
Mr. Ye fiddled with the items, unable to recall what he had bought. "When did you buy so much? I don't remember. Did you buy this much yesterday?"
Mother Ye slapped his hand away, "Don't get confused. There are many of us. If everyone buys a little, it will add up to a lot, won't it?"
"Isn't this too much?"
"If each person carries a few items, and each family takes their own, it'll be about the same. Everyone can bring them back. What's there to worry about not being able to get them home?"
"I've never seen you spend money like this before."
"How can this be called wasteful? You've taken a plane trip, you should bring back some gifts to give to people, right? We can't skimp on this money."
Ye's father remained silent.
Ye Chengyang squatted in front of his woven bag and carefully stuffed in the several mock college entrance exam papers he had bought yesterday afternoon, and then put two changes of clothes on top of them.
Ye Chenghu leaned over for a peek: "You actually bought it?"
"Nonsense, we're already here." Ye Chengyang didn't even look up. "The textbooks used in Beijing are a bit different from ours. Take them back for reference."
"Tsk tsk tsk, give it to your homeroom teacher later, print a few more copies, and everyone can make them together."
"Then you'll end up like me on graduation day, with the whole class chasing you and throwing books at you until you're covered in bumps."
"Hahaha, I was helping them improve their scores, they should thank me. Those heartless people chased me from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor when they found out. If I hadn't run fast, I would have gotten several bumps on my head."
Ye Xiaoxi craned her neck over and said, "Big brother, don't waste it. You should still have your old test papers. Take them out and let second brother do them!"
"I don't need to pay for it; the school definitely has the funds, and everyone will get a copy."
Ye Chenghu was very proud of himself. He had also made a contribution to the school, and future students would benefit greatly from it.
Ye Chengyang glanced at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "Don't gloat. In a few years, it will be your turn. All of this will be yours in the future."
She forcefully slammed her red baseball cap with "BJ Welcomes You" on Ye Chengyang's head, obscuring half of his face.
"You should enjoy it yourself."
Ye Chengyang casually adjusted his hat, turned around, and continued packing his luggage.
After checking out, they waited in the hotel lobby for the travel agency's car.
Just then, Ye Yaodong's mobile phone rang.
During the week he was away, his phone never stopped ringing; he received five, six, seven, or eight calls every day.
He answered the phone as usual, but this time it was Zeng Weimin calling. He had left his phone number yesterday for easy contact.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong, have you left yet?"
"Not yet, we're waiting in the hotel lobby for the travel agency's car to take us to the airport."
"Well, yesterday you mentioned that your child wants to get into a good school, so I looked into it when I got back."
Upon hearing that they were talking about serious matters, Ye Yaodong walked to a corner with a serious expression, as the hall was too noisy.
"Last year, Beijing began implementing a household registration management system for small towns, offering preferential policies such as 'household registration transfer' to people from other places who come to Beijing to start businesses and buy houses locally."
"However, due to management reasons, this policy has been discontinued this year."
“Yesterday I didn’t tell you because you didn’t ask any questions, but I checked when I got back. Although the policy has been discontinued, the municipal government has designated more than ten small towns in the suburbs of Beijing as pilot areas for development this year.”
"When I get back, I'll ask around and find out. It's very likely that some rules and regulations will be introduced to manage this, and this policy may be reinstated next year."
"If you're interested, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed; this could be considered an unexpected stroke of luck.
I didn't ask anyone for help; I just casually mentioned it during a meal. I never expected there to actually be a residency policy!
It's just that the timing was bad; it was just suspended this year. If it had come to Beijing last year, it would have been better, and we could have made a move directly.
Oh dear, I regret missing out!
Ye Yaodong gripped his mobile phone tightly and said quickly, "Yes, yes, please keep an eye out for me and let me know as soon as the policy is reinstated."
"Okay, no problem, but I don't know if we'll make it in time."
"We'll see when the time comes. My second child won't need it, but I still have my third. Could you tell me what the policy is like? What were the eligibility requirements for settling down when it was implemented last year?"
Ye Yaodong heard the sound of papers turning over on the phone.
“Let me read it to you: People from other places can invest between 25 and 50 yuan (50 yuan in plains areas and 25 yuan in mountainous areas) in designated pilot towns on the outskirts of Beijing, and then purchase a two-bedroom or larger house in the local area and pay the corresponding infrastructure fees to obtain a Beijing urban household registration (no more than 4 people per household).”
"Only 25 to 50?"
"Yes, if you buy another residential property with two or more bedrooms, you can get a Beijing urban household registration, with a limit of 4 people per household."
"That's simple. If it really comes down to it, I can do it."
"Yes, this is a very simple thing for you, so I went back and thought about it, dug out the documents and looked at them. I was thinking of calling you this morning to tell you."
"Thank you so much. If the management system is improved and the policy is reiterated, it will be much easier for us to get a Beijing hukou."
"Okay, I'll let you know when there's news."
"Thank you, then I'll trouble you."
"It's no trouble. If a document is issued, I will receive it immediately."
If there were policies for settling down directly without having to ask for favors, that would be so convenient.
An investment of a few hundred thousand yuan is nothing to him; he could buy several more properties without any problem.
It's not easy to buy a courtyard house here, and even if you do, you have to maintain it a lot. But it's very easy to buy a commercial house in the surrounding towns.
It's not very developed yet, mostly in the suburbs, but it'll probably all become bustling areas in the future.
This trip was rushed, otherwise he would have bought several things, but now that there's a possible residency policy, coming back next year won't be too much trouble for him.
Fortunately, I made a phone call the day before yesterday and had a meal yesterday to reconnect with him. Otherwise, with the emperor so far away, how would he have known about this policy?
While he was on the phone, the travel agency's vehicle arrived, and they began loading their luggage onto the vehicle.
After he finished his call, he could simply walk over and get into the car.
Lin Xiuqing waited until he finished his call and got into the car before asking, "So busy? You're on the phone all day long. We couldn't reach you when you were at sea, but you were doing fine, weren't you?"
"It wasn't a work call; it was from Zeng Weimin."
Ye Yaodong explained the household registration policy to her.
Lin Xiuqing was also delighted, "Invest a few hundred thousand yuan and buy a house to get a household registration? It's that simple. It's a small matter for our family. Buying a few more is no problem."
"Yes, it's a pity. The policy was suspended this year. Let's see if it will be restarted next year after the management system is standardized. They say it's very likely to be restarted."
“Then let’s just wait for the notification. Let the children study hard. Your son will be a senior in high school in the second half of the year. He can attend one semester first, estimate his score, and then we’ll consider it.”
"See? If this policy really exists, I'll have to buy a few houses first and come back next year. This time, the time is indeed quite tight."
He'll probably be relatively free next year, not having to go out to sea, just staying at the factory. He can come to Beijing anytime to stay for a month or two to get things done.
The couple whispered to each other, so no one else could hear them. The van swayed, the engine roared, and everyone else chattered excitedly. The whole van was filled with their voices.
Upon arriving at the airport, their trip came to an end.
A large family carrying bags and packages poured into the waiting hall.
In 1996, Beijing Airport wasn't as grand as it is now, but it was still quite crowded, with passengers coming and going, speaking in various regional dialects.
They found some similar seats near the boarding gate and sat down to keep an eye on their luggage, while the younger generation leaned over the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the planes.
We stared at the plane for hours before we arrived, but we still couldn't get enough of it. Everyone was inexplicably excited when we saw the plane.
It wasn't just them; many adults and children were also standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Several Boeing aircraft were parked on the tarmac, and ground crew members wearing yellow vests were busy working below.
"The biggest one must be the one that flies internationally."
"how do you know?"
"Guess."
"Cut~"
Mr. and Mrs. Ye sat on chairs to rest. Mrs. Ye rubbed her calves and said, "My legs feel like they don't belong to me anymore after walking around these past few days."
"Just soak in hot water when you get home," said Mr. Ye.
"I still have to pack up when I get back, there's no time to rest."
As the boarding announcement came on, the family got up, picked up their luggage, and lined up.
Mother Ye happily carried the large and small bags, saying, "Now we're going to fly again."
"God is good! I never thought I'd be able to go to heaven in this lifetime. I thought I'd have to kick the bucket to go to heaven."
She stomped on Ye's father's foot hard, "Can't you say something auspicious? We're about to board a plane, and you're saying this while I'm too busy to do it."
Mr. Ye shut his mouth, squeezed into the crowd to quickly join the queue, and stopped talking.
Ye Mu Teng didn't physically intervene, but she didn't hold back with her words either.
"You never say anything nice all day long. I bet half of the suffering you've endured in the first half of your life is due to your foul mouth."
"Alright, stop nagging, there are so many people here."
"Who can understand it except our own family?"
"Alright, alright, you can yell at me all you want when we get home, but don't say anything outside, save your breath."
Ye's mother glared at him fiercely.
Ye Xiaoxi leaned closer and said, "We get to eat on this flight, it's just in time for lunch."
The elderly couple's attention was immediately diverted.
"What? There's food on the plane? Why wasn't there any food when we arrived?"
"It's a pity we didn't arrive during mealtime."
Mr. Ye was delighted, "This is great, there's food on the plane."
