Chapter 241

It was indeed getting a certificate, but not a marriage certificate; it was a property ownership certificate.

When Wei Ming brought Zhu Lin to Tuanjiehu Middle Road South First Lane, Zhu Lin hesitated and refused to get off the bike.

"You mean you want to buy a building house here, and it's in my name, writing my name?"

Wei Ming nodded.

"The reason?"

Wei Ming's hand rested on her leg: "In the Overseas Chinese Apartment, there are my mom and sister. We always need to find a convenient place."

"Bad guy," Zhu Lin slapped his hand away and scolded, "The reason is not sufficient."

"How is it not sufficient? Don't you have needs?" Wei Ming's hand didn't move away.

Zhu Lin thought to herself, how could there not be? That kind of thing was like a water outlet valve. Once opened once, the water couldn't be shut off.

"But why hang it in my name?" Zhu Lin asked again, but she had already acquiesced to the necessity of buying a house.

Wei Ming said again: "I already have a house in my name. If I have another one, I'm afraid I'll be too conspicuous. You understand what I mean."

Both came from that era. Zhu Lin obviously understood. Although she felt Wei Ming was too cautious, it wasn't that there was no such possibility.

Would it still be considered cautious if it were three houses?

Seeing Zhu Lin loosen up a bit, Wei Ming hurriedly urged: "Go, let's go in, bring your household registration book."

"How much is this house?" Zhu Lin asked cautiously.

"Cheap, just half of the Overseas Chinese Apartment."

Half is still over 10,000, which was her salary for over ten years. Zhu Lin said faintly: "You're at ease putting it in my hands?"

"What's there to be uneasy about? If I even have to guard against you, then I've lived in vain."

Wei Ming spoke righteously. He was indeed at ease. The key was that he bought this house for Zhu Lin, and their bond had added another layer. Even if Zhu Lin knew about him and Gong Xue in the future, with this house, it wouldn't be so easy for them to cut ties completely.

He spent this money also for the future.

The commercial residential buildings in Tuanjiehu were considered experimental. They were one of the few residential areas in Yanjing with housing property rights certificates, totaling two buildings with dozens of sets.

Seeing Biaozi and Little Mei bought Building No. 2. For the convenience of entering and exiting, Wei Ming chose Building No. 1, saving them from meeting each other when looking down.

Now the houses were all built, there was no such thing as an unfinished building, and there were no housing loans.

Wei Ming accompanied Comrade Zhu Lin, who was buying a house, to look at Room 302 on the 3rd floor of Building No. 1 in the name of a friend.

86 square meters, transparent from north to south, no common area sharing. It was the solid indoor area. It was definitely not as good as the 150-square-meter Overseas Chinese Apartment, but it was already larger than Zhu Lin's parents' house.

There were three bedrooms, large, medium, and small. Wei Ming prepared to knock down a wall during renovation, leaving only two bedrooms. It became super large and large. The super large one would be the bedroom, and the large one would be the study.

As for where to live when there are children in the future, maybe they would have already lived in a villa by then.

Before entering, Wei Ming gave the bag with money to Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin delivered all the payments. Fang Zheng counting the money took a long time, and then she signed several names.

There were still some procedures later, which required Zhu Lin to run. Of course, Wei Ming would help her. He could also be considered familiar with the road.

In half a day, Wei Ming and Zhu Lin came out of the Tuanjiehu residential area. Zhu Lin still felt a bit dazed. Did she have a house in a muddled way?

Generally, according to the procedure, after she got married, she and her husband would wait in line at their respective units for housing allocation. If they could get one after having children, it would be considered lucky. Many times, even when the children could go buy soy sauce, they still couldn't get one. It was highly likely they would have to squeeze together with the mother-in-law's family for many years, with endless trivial matters.

But now, she easily achieved an achievement that many old employees could only reach.

And Wei Ming, who had bought his third house in his life, was also very happy and went to eat Quanjude with Zhu Lin.

When sending Zhu Lin home in the evening, she hugged Wei Ming tightly. Originally, she was still a bit confused about their future. Now that Little Wei bought her a house, she felt this should mean that the relationship was to be completely settled. It was estimated that she was just waiting for a suitable time to meet the parents.

Although because of the age gap and the last Melinda incident, Zhu Lin had always been afraid to devote herself wholeheartedly to this relationship, always keeping something back so as not to be hurt too much in the future.

But today, she wanted to go all out for Wei Ming once.

When they were about to arrive home, Zhu Lin suddenly asked Wei Ming to make a turn and enter a dark, rarely visited alley, and also asked Wei Ming to turn off the motorcycle engine.

Wei Ming laughed and asked: "What for? Have a secret to tell me?"

Zhu Lin didn't speak, just hugged Wei Ming's waist and moved down a few inches.

Wei Ming was ecstatic inside, his mouth hissing.

"Good sister~"

This was the first time Zhu Lin had done this kind of thing, and it was in an alley, so she was still quite nervous.

Wei Ming couldn't help but analyze whose craftsmanship was better, Sister Lin or Sister Xue.

Finally, he concluded: Neither is as good as myself.

However, Wei Ming wanted to give a thumbs up for their courage. Sister Xue was still a virgin and was willing to do this for him, and Sister Lin could also be considered a scholarly family. This was contrary to the education she had received since childhood.

They were both women he couldn't let go of in this lifetime, ah!

Finally, they hugged in the car and relaxed for over ten minutes. The night wind was whistling. Zhu Lin knew that men were very fragile at this time and were also prone to illness, so she urged Wei Ming to put her down and go home quickly.

Wei Ming put Sister Lin at the school gate and left reluctantly. He really hoped to get the new house quickly. This was still a bit lacking after all.

In the next few days, Zhu Lin prepared for the exam while running the procedures for the house with Wei Ming.

When they got the key, they indulged once in the rough house for the first time. Without a bed, they leaned against the wall.

Next, Wei Ming took care of the renovation. It was convenient for him to ride a motorcycle back and forth, and letting a big beauty negotiate with a group of male renovation workers had risks in itself. Later, the wife of Zhou Zhou Lijing was killed because of this, and she never recovered from it.

Now they didn't pay attention to fine decoration. Even if Wei Ming had higher requirements for the quality of life, the people doing renovation now didn't have that aesthetic. At most, it was benchmarking the Overseas Chinese Apartment, so it should be ready to live in very soon.

He still found Master Lei's team. This was a small job for them, but three houses were a big job. Master Lei's team was divided into three branches, contracting the new houses of the three bosses of the Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi.

However, during the renovation, Wei Ming and Zhu Lin lost their bed of happiness again.

On the weekend, Wei Ming knew Zhu Lin was going to take the exam for the Film Academy, so he went shopping for furniture stores and trust stores himself, starting to buy furniture with big hands.

One was to enrich the courtyard, and the other was to buy for the house in Tuanjiehu. After buying, put it in the courtyard first.

Because he had sufficient cash on hand, Wei Ming bought good things with big openings, with sandalwood, mahogany, and yellow rosewood as the first choice. There should also be some things from the palace inside. Wei Ming now had some discernment for this thing.

Buy it. Anyway, there would be a large amount of cash distributed to him next month. Spending more now is always better than the price breakthrough a few years later, and the money becoming worthless.

However, he tried hard to buy, buy, buy, and even bought some good ink, good inkstone, good seal, and other elegant things in famous shops like Rongbaozhai in Liulichang to enrich his study, but in the end, it only cost over 2,000 yuan.

There were many people signing up for the exam for the amateur acting class of the Film Academy. Although the income of actors was not high now, it was considered a decent job, definitely easier than a factory, and could also get the love of the people of the whole country.

So many people who didn't have jobs, and even those who had jobs, were working hard on this road, even if they didn't look very good.

After Li Li Chengru arrived, he found that many people didn't look as good as himself, so he became more confident. He not only had an above-average appearance but also met famous teachers and had the inheritance of the People's Art.

Fang Zheng thinking about it, a man slightly more handsome than himself passed in front of him, also taller, and with better temperament. Li Li Chengru became more angry the more he thought about it.

21-year-old Zhang Zhang Guangbei was tall, straight, and had a good image, quite eye-catching in the crowd. Now he hadn't shown the temperament of a three-surname slave.

Zhang Zhang Guangbei was a retired navy soldier and had been in a choir when he was a child. He had artistic cells, so he wanted to be an actor. Unfortunately, he missed this year's enrollment of the Central Academy of Drama and couldn't become a classmate with Jiang Wen, so he had to try his luck at the Film Academy.

If Zhang Zhang Guangbei was the most eye-catching among the male candidates, then Zhu Lin was absolutely the most dazzling among the female candidates.

Not far away, 17-year-old Yanjing girl Li Qinqin was very confident in herself. She had practiced volleyball since she was a child, was tall, and had a good image. However, later she met someone named Lang Ping in the team and felt that there was probably not much hope for her to play volleyball in this lifetime, so she quit and accidentally came into contact with filming.

She felt that filming was not difficult either, but her friends felt she should learn acting, so she signed up for this amateur acting class, and then saw Zhu Lin, who was exceptionally stunning in the crowd.

Not only was she beautiful, but the clothes she wore were also good-looking.

Eh, this sister seems to be the beauty on the poster outside the Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi!

Not seems, she simply is. Zhao Zhao Baogang could be sure. Although he had entered the Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi three times but didn't buy clothes, he had a deep impression of those two posters.

25-year-old Zhao Zhao Baogang was just a sand casting worker, but he was also an artistic activist in the factory. Relying on his love for performing arts, he still gritted his teeth and signed up for this amateur acting class, just hoping his fate could change. He really didn't want to be a worker anymore.

After waiting for a while, the door of the Film Academy opened, and they poured in one after another, and then displayed themselves in turn.

Zhu Lin was very calm, but the Ximen Qing official in front of her was a bit nervous, but he won because his image was not bad.

After the exam for the whole day ended, Zhu Lin waited outside the Film Academy for a while, didn't wait for Wei Ming, and seeing many male candidates looking over eagerly, she had to take the bus home by herself.

Today Wei Ming had been busy buying, buying, buying. When he returned to the courtyard to deliver furniture for the last time, it was already dark, and at the same time, he found a letter from Sister Xue in the mailbox.

Sister Xue now mailed the letter directly to the courtyard to avoid being seen by Wei Ming's family.

Wei Ming opened it and looked at the time of the letter. That day happened to be the day of receiving the house. Maybe when Sister Xue wrote the letter, he was letting Sister Lin lean against the wall.

Thinking of this, Wei Ming was guilty and excited, looking forward to the reunion with Sister Xue even more.

In Sister Xue's letter, besides reporting her own filming progress and insights, she also unreservedly told of her longing for her lover.

However, the focus of this letter was at the end. She said that A Long wrote a letter to A Ying, and in the letter, he expressed A Long's love with comics.

Sister Xue was so bad, she actually stole a look at her sister's letter. In fact, this letter was encouraged by Wei Ming for A Long to write.

You didn't confess to her, what kind of brother-in-law are you to me? What if she doesn't agree to you?

When facing her, A Long was very cowardly. After returning to Yanjing, his courage grew again, and he directly used comics to tell Gong Ying his heart. Although Wei Ming didn't see that comic, the romance of a cartoonist must be extraordinary.

Sister Xue didn't mention Gong Ying's decision. It was estimated that Gong Ying was also hesitating whether to accept this long-distance sister-brother love.

Wei Ming immediately wrote back, asking her to focus on observing.

"But don't express opinions. We can't be responsible for other people's happiness." This was Wei Ming's point of view.

The courtyard could cook, but there were no vegetables. The radishes and cabbage in the field were all seedlings.

When he went out in the morning, his mother said she would make braised beef in a clay pot in the evening and specifically rode a bicycle to buy a clay pot. Wei Ming decided to go home and eat.

Unexpectedly, Mei Mei Wenhua came today. He thought he was here for a free meal, but he didn't expect he was here to talk about marriage.

"We want to get married now, but we need Xu Yunyun to let the family brigade open a certificate."

So urgent? Before, it was said to be before the year.

Wei Ming couldn't help but look at Xu Yunyun's stomach.

Mei Mei Wenhua knew what he was thinking and pulled him aside.

"Brother Ming, have you heard of the Yu Yu Luojin divorce case?" Mei Mei Wenhua took out a newspaper, *China Youth Daily*.

Wei Ming looked at the title: "I know. This issue of *Contemporary* also published her work *A Winter's Fairy Tale*, which is very popular."

Yu Yu Luojin is Yu Luoke's sister. This is an important reason for the high popularity, the celebrity effect.

Secondly, her divorce case is also very typical. Because of her brother's influence, Yu Yu Luojin was sent down to the countryside in Hebei to settle down after three years of re-education through labor. Helplessly, she married a local farmer. At that time, there were many such female educated youth.

Four years later, policy changes. In order to return to Yanjing, she divorced her rural husband with whom she had no feelings, and through connections, she met a Yanjing worker and married him. Only then did she get her Yanjing household registration back and get rid of the life of facing the loess and backing the sky.

However, her second marriage this time was purposeful and utilitarian. After a few years, she found that they really couldn't live together, and she wanted to divorce again. The reason for the divorce was that she didn't feel happy.

However, her second husband this time was not so easy to deal with. He was a worker. You thought he was a farmer? He was at your mercy.

Divorce was not easy at this time. It was not only a concept problem, but also had many steps. Many departments had to sign. If you were stuck a little, you couldn't divorce.

And this man really didn't understand. He was so good to his wife. Who didn't say it was good when the neighbors saw it? Why wasn't she happy?

Fang Zheng because she watched a movie that made her cry and he watched it and wanted to doze off? She watched novels that she found interesting and he couldn't read them at all?

Fang Zheng this?

So this divorce case lasted for a long time without results. The media were reporting it. This was a very sensational thing in the entire early 1980s.

However, Mei Mei Wenhua's focus was not on Yu Yu Luojin's divorce, but on the last paragraph. According to the contributor: On September 10, the National People's Congress passed the revised *Marriage Law*. The new Marriage Law simplified the divorce steps, which might bring a new turning point to this divorce lawsuit.

Mei Mei Wenhua worried: "Is the new *Marriage Law* about to be implemented? Then wouldn't I be unable to marry Xu Yunyun?"

Wei Ming didn't know exactly when it would be officially implemented. Mei Mei Wenhua's worry was not unreasonable.

"Then you should get the certificate as soon as possible. After getting the certificate, it's not urgent when to hold the wedding."

Mei Mei Wenhua laughed: "That's what I think too."

And after getting the marriage certificate, he could do more things allowed by law. It must be said that compared to his brother-in-law, Mei Mei Wenhua was still a law-abiding citizen.

Wei Ming flipped through this issue of *China Youth Daily*. When he flipped to the last page, he found that along with the *Marriage Law*, the *Individual Income Tax Law* was also passed by the National People's Congress, and it also introduced the collection standards in detail.

The part of the monthly income under 800 yuan (including 800 yuan) is tax-free. The part exceeding 800 yuan is collected at a six-level excess progressive tax rate, with the highest tax rate being 45%!

In this era, where would ordinary people have a monthly income of 800 yuan? So, in fact, the individual income tax law didn't intend to collect money from the common people at all.

If you don't collect money from the common people, whose money do you collect?

Whoever has money, collect their money!

So at this time, the individual income tax law was introduced mainly because more and more foreigners were working in China after the reform and opening up, such as those high-paid foreign teachers hired by Tsinghua and Peking University. Their income was very high, and it was easy to exceed 800 yuan per month.

The scope of individual income tax collection includes wages, salary income, labor remuneration, royalties, franchise royalties, interest, dividends, bonus income, property rental income, property transfer income, etc. So unfortunately, nouveau riches like Wei Ming and Mei Mei Wenhua were also included.

Wei Ming let Mei Mei Wenhua focus on this small piece of tofu. Remember to pay taxes according to regulations when the individual income tax law is officially implemented.

Mei Mei Wenhua felt the sky was about to collapse.

"No, how many days have the good days passed? Why is this happening!"

Wei Ming: "What, you don't want to pay taxes?"

Mei Mei Wenhua: "I want to pay taxes too much. I get so much money every month, and I don't feel at ease in my heart. But if I pay taxes, our profits can't be hidden. I don't believe the tax staff's mouths are so tight. What if I'm targeted by some character?"

Although the media had always been keen to report on the bustle of the Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi and the success of the Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi model, no one knew the specific income.

Mei Mei Wenhua didn't want to not pay money, but was afraid of revealing wealth and attracting thunder.

"Brother Ming, is there any way?"

Wei Ming: "Yes, reduce dividends, distribute less money every month. For example, if you can distribute 10,000, distribute 1,000."

1,000 is actually enough, but for many big figures, it is estimated that they don't look down on it.

"Then what should I do with so much money?"

"Can only put it on the account. Isn't there an economic special zone now? It can be used for investment. Invest the money there." Now Shenzhen has started selling land to engage in real estate, and the steps are very big.

In addition, Wei Ming taught him another trick: buy things in the name of the company.

"Didn't you want to buy a motorcycle? This time, just go through the company's account, buy it with the company's money, hang it in the company's name, and then you use it."

Mei Mei Wenhua suddenly realized: "I should have known I should have bought a house in the company's name!"

This guy's comprehension is very high. It is estimated that he will also be the one who buys a private jet with the company's money in the future.

Everyone happily ate Xu Shufin's clay pot beef. Hearing everyone's praise, she urged her son to bring some for Xiao Hong tomorrow.

Wei Ming laughed: "Then you have to get more. She also likes to treat guests now."

"Humph, it's all taught by you."

The next day, Wei Ming brought a lunch box with clay pot beef to school. Xu Yunyun also mailed the letter asking her father to open a certificate. This had no difficulty. The village leaders now had to curry favor with Xu Xu Cunmao, who had a big writer nephew, so it was definitely a green light all the way.

On the other hand, when Mei Mei Wenhua opened the certificate, the aunts in the street advised him to marry late and have children late, and consider it at 25.

However, Mei Mei Wenhua insisted, and there was law to follow, so they still opened the certificate for him, but also stuffed some family planning products to him, and talked about the benefits of late birth and excellent birth.

Mei Mei Wenhua didn't listen at all, pinching those rubber products and was dazed all day.

When Wei Ming went, there was no one in the dormitory. Now there are morning self-study sessions in universities, and there are some in Wei Hong's dormitory.

So Wei Ming found the Math Department classroom directly and handed the lunch box to Wei Hong before the official class started, letting her eat at noon.

As soon as she opened the lunch box, several small heads around immediately gathered around. Wei Hong said generously: "Everyone who sees it has a share!"

A sentence exchanged for a sound of "Sister Hong is mighty."

Unexpectedly, the youngest in the class became the big sister in the class, although many people were in the mood of teasing children.

Seeing the teacher coming, Wei Ming withdrew. He had audited classes in the Chinese Department, Foreign Languages Department, History Department, and even Physics Department and Chemistry Department, but never the Math Department. This was really completely incomprehensible.

At noon, Wei Ming wrote until after one o'clock. He felt hungry before coming out to forage. There were not many people in the staff canteen, but he happened to see Uncle Ping'an and Teacher Wang Wang Xuan.

However, when Wei Ming called "Teacher Wang", Director Wei reminded: "Should call Professor Wang."

Wang Wang Xuan waved his hand with a smile: "Vice, associate professor."

Fang Zheng after printing *Sword of Wu Hao*, Wang Wang Xuan was directly promoted to associate professor, which also reflected Peking University's thirst for talent. Otherwise, it is estimated that this procedure would not be so fast.

Wei Ming thought of the bold sentence "Farewell to lead and fire, welcome light and electricity" on the front page of the *People's Daily*. By virtue of this huge contribution, a professor should also be given.

Uncle Ping'an and Professor Wang were inseparable now. It is estimated that they were going to discuss the organizational structure of the Founder Group.

Wei Ming didn't ask much, and went to work early in the afternoon to prepare to see the renovation progress of the Tuanjiehu house.

However, Uncle Ping'an asked Wei Ming to come to his house in the evening.

Wei Ming thought he was going to talk to him about the Founder Group, but he asked Wei Ming if he wanted to listen to a concert.

Concert? This word felt very strange to Wei Ming. Was there a concert in 1980?

He asked: "Whose?"

"Can't remember the name. It's a Japanese singer's. Teacher Gu gave a few tickets and even left two for you and Xiao Hong."

Wei Ming accepted it happily. Now he finally had a place to go for a proper date with Sister Lin~
