The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Lin Hanyu sat at the table, smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen.

He reached out and touched his somewhat empty stomach.

Before getting on the train last night, she and Aye each ate a bowl of wontons near the train station.

Along the way, I slept most of the time and didn't feel hungry.

She glanced at Bai Ye who was standing at the window paying for the meal, then shifted her gaze to Yang Hua who was serving the dishes nearby.

This time when I come to Yangzhou, I'd like to trouble him to go to the Housing Management Office with me.

Before leaving Yang City, I left him some cloth coupons that I had saved over the years.

Gu Yue must also feel relieved.

The three of them ate lunch slowly, and when it was almost time they walked together to the Guangling District Housing Management Office.

During lunch break, if you come to the housing management office early, you often won't find anyone working there.

"Hua Zi, if these two houses don't meet the state's standards for returning houses, we can accept the offer to buy them back."

"it is good."

Yang Hua took the property certificates of the two houses from Bai Ye.

The font content is still clearly visible on the paper which has turned yellow.

One look at them and you'll know that the people who own them cherish them.

He looked at the words above carefully. The Bai family's old house on Guangling Road covered an area of ​​3,200 square meters.

The Lin family's old house on Dongguan Street covers an area of ​​2,800 square meters.

These two houses are rare and beautiful houses in the whole Yang City.

By the time they arrived at the housing management office, it was just past lunch time.

There was no one inside doing business, and the office staff were all sitting at their desks chatting.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye looked at each other and didn't move forward. Yang Hua works in this city.

It's always more convenient to do things than them.

The three of them came in and quickly attracted the attention of the office staff.

“Are you here to buy a house?”

"Let's check these two houses."

When the office staff heard this, an expression of "as expected" appeared on their faces.

During this period, many people from the "five black categories" or their descendants came to the Housing Management Office to ask for the houses that were previously seized and returned to the public.

The office staff closest to them stood up and took the property certificate from Yang Hua.

He touched the hard book in his hand and lowered his head slightly, and saw that the word "Municipal Government" was written on Yang Hua's work ID.

A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.

"Wait a moment, comrades. I'll check the current status of the house first."

After saying this, he turned and went into the next room.

Lin Hanyu and the others looked at each other and sat down on the empty chairs next to them.

After a while, the office staff who went to check the house records came back.

Seeing his smiling face, Lin Manyu also curled up the corners of her mouth and went over with Aye and Yang Hua.

On the register in his hand, the deeds to the two houses were clearly written in the names of Bai Ye's father and Lin Manyu's uncle respectively.

Among the family members recorded above, the column for children also has the characters Bai Ye, Lin Manlin, and Lin Manyao written on them respectively.

"The house has never been seized and returned to the public because the owner has never returned."

"We all thought these two houses were ownerless."

"We will rent it to people who need accommodation."

"Now, these two houses are indeed full of people."

Bai Ye listened to him carefully, reached out to take the martyr certificate and the certificate issued by the Beijing Military Region that his wife took out from her cloth bag (in the space) and handed them to him.

This office worker has worked in the housing management office for many years.

He was also involved in the division of the two houses.

At this moment, I saw that the person who came to ask for the house was a martyr's relative.

The two men also had in their hands a certificate issued by the Beijing Military Region regarding the eldest son of one of the homeowners.

He didn't say anything more and started to apply for new property certificates for the two houses.

The Lin family's old house was also registered under Lin Manyu's name as required in the power of attorney issued by the Beijing Military Region.

Reclaiming the house was much easier than they thought.

Within an hour, Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye both had the new property certificates in their hands.

"Since the residents of the house rent the house through the real estate agency, it is not convenient for us to come forward."

"I'll have to trouble the real estate department to help clear it out."

"We will come back to get the keys to the two houses at the end of August next year."

While Bai Ye was speaking, he quietly took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it into his hand.

In this era when the average worker's wage is between 37.5 yuan and 45 yuan, one hundred yuan is not a small sum of money.

The office worker took the banknote and hid it in his sleeve.

He looked at Bai Ye with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, I'll go over tomorrow to inform them to vacate the two houses as soon as possible."

The property certificate was processed smoothly, and Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye left thirty feet of cloth coupons for Yang Hua.

I said goodbye to him and went straight to the train station to buy a train ticket back to Beijing.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them left the train station.

They walked slowly along the street in the opposite direction of the hotel.

Lin Hanyu looked at everything around her and couldn't help but take out the camera from her handbag (space).

I just captured the appearance of the old city of Yangzhou.

This camera has been broken since that year when I was telling the kids that it was broken.

He never showed up at home again.

Nowadays, you can use it to take daily and landscape photos.

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye walked along the way, taking pictures of the people and scenery along the way.

Maybe it’s because they return to their hometown and miss it a lot.

It was not until the evening that the two of them came back from dinner, washed up and lay down on the bed in the hotel.

Still feel unsatisfied.

Lin Hanyu snuggled up to Bai Ye, hugged his arm and closed her eyes slightly.

"Aye, do you still remember which commercial housing estates there were in Beijing in the 1980s?"

"I really hope that the residential complex will be built soon, so that I can ask if there is anyone selling a house in our west wing."

"And the three courtyards in front of our house, if we can buy them."

"The sealed Moon Gate can be opened again."

"Why rush? Wait until the land is fully open to trading."

"There's so much urban land waiting for us to buy. I'm afraid you'll be very busy by then."

"The train back to Beijing is at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed early."

"I feel relieved that I have successfully recovered the old house this time."

When Bai Ye heard his wife say that she felt comfortable, he became happy too, and his mind gradually drifted away.

Today, they didn't go back to the old house to check and didn't know whether the osmanthus tree was still there.

When they were young, brothers and sisters liked to sit under the osmanthus tree and eat cakes.

It took quite a while for him to come back to his senses.

"Hanhan..."

"Ok?"

Lin Hanyu was in a daze, waiting for him to say the next words.

Hearing that he was reluctant to speak, she reached out and pinched the flesh on his forearm.

"Why don't you continue?"

Bai Ye felt a slight pain on his forearm, smiled, lowered his head and kissed the eyes of the person in his arms.

"Before we came to Yangzhou, the staff of the Dongcheng District Sub-district Office said that there were two courtyard houses for sale in their jurisdiction."

"Next Sunday, let's go over there and see what the yard is like."

"okay."

The two of them talked and soon fell asleep.

At this time, Zhang Shoufang was tossing and turning in a yard in Yang City and couldn't sleep.

During the day, she went back to the unit to get something and heard her colleagues talking about the owner of the house on Dongguan Street coming back to look for a house.

The property certificate has been obtained.

Her eldest sister lives in that house. Doesn't that mean she has to move out now?
