Chapter 297 House and Property Tax
When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu say that he had no say in the matter of marriage, he immediately became like an angry bull.
"Bullshit, I'm your biological father, and I can't say a word about your marriage!"

Seeing He Daqing's angry look, He Yuzhu quickly said,

"Yes, yes, of course.

But you also know that I am not only your son now, but also a member of the organization. I need to file a marriage report when I get married.
When the report is submitted, I don’t know whether it will be approved or not.”

He Daqing knew about the marriage report, but he never thought that this matter would suddenly be related to his son.

But if you think about it, it's understandable.

Before He Yuzhu was demobilized, he was about to be promoted to the head of the regiment. Even after demobilization, he was still the manager of Fengzeyuan.
For such a critical position, getting married does require filing a report and background checks.

But thinking that the Lou family is different from other families, and they are also members of the State Council, maybe there is a chance.
"Then go ahead and see if the higher-ups approve it.

As long as you don't blindly oppose it, even if it doesn't work out in the end, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"It's no use whether I agree or not.
You have to ask Uncle Lou whether he is willing to do this. If the higher-ups don't approve it in the end, Xiao'e will have a more difficult time in the future.

I think you should find some time to discuss this with Uncle Lou.

Anyway, I still have half a year to go before I turn 20.
There’s no rush.”

Hearing He Yuzhu say that if the State Council does not approve, it will be even harder for Lou Xiaoe to find a partner in the future, He Daqing secretly looked outside and then said slyly,
"What are you afraid of? We still have Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng waiting for you.
When the time comes, just ask your uncle Lou to give you more dowry."

Hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu took a breath of cold air and thought, "Fuck!" He Daqing is really a cruel guy. Xu Damao and the others are really unlucky.

I don’t know whether the three of them knew about it or not. If they did, they would be really impressive.

But He Yuzhu would never ask He Daqing about this.

At this moment, among the young generation in the entire Siheyuan or the entire Nanluoguxiang, I am the only one who is the best, and the others are not as good as me.
Even if Xu Damao and the others don't know it now, they should have some idea in the future.

After He Daqing finished talking about He Yuzhu's marriage, he began to look at the east wing in the front yard, and then said,
"Zhu Zi, I see your house is a bit old, why don't you take this opportunity to renovate it.
When you get married, it will be used as your bridal chamber."

Hearing He Daqing say that he wanted to renovate the house, He Yuzhu looked up again.
I found that although there was no big problem with my east wing room, I didn't stop it when I thought that it was the wedding room.

"That's fine.
But Dad, I don't know which uncles in Shichahai have good cooking skills.

This matter can only be left to you."

"Don't worry, the ancestors of the Zhang family in Beiluoguxiang used to build a garden for the old Buddha, so their skills in renovating houses are impeccable.

First ask him to check if there are any problems with the walls, beams, columns, and bricks and tiles, and then start the renovation.
It's just that the price is a bit expensive.

But there is a reason why it is expensive. We use old-time craftsmanship to restore the original appearance of the house.”

I heard He Daqing say that he could use the old craftsmanship to restore the original appearance of this house.

He Yuzhu's eyes immediately lit up.
You know, many of these memories cannot be passed down to later generations, and even restoring the ancient charm of the Siheyuan is impossible.
Since there are still such experienced craftsmen, we decided to do it right away.

"Then let's ask Uncle Zhang from the Northern Luogu to come over and help.
As long as the house can be restored to its original state, the money issue will be easy to discuss.

Just now, when Sister Hongying left, she gave me all the savings books she had saved for Yushui over the years. Together with my own savings, the total amount was at least 2500 million.

Renovating this house is a piece of cake.”

Seeing that He Yuzhu had made the decision, He Daqing didn't waste any more words and agreed directly.
"Okay, leave this to me.
I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go to Beiluoguxiang to find Lao Zhang later. Let's use better materials this time and try to get the renovation price to more than half of the house price, so that you don't have to pay property tax for this house in the next two years."

But Zhuzi, in addition to the money for decorating the house, you also have to prepare the tax for decorating the house.

Now you have to pay taxes when you renovate your house.

He Yuzhu was shocked to hear from He Daqing that there was actually an annual property tax at this time.

You know, in the 21st century, property tax was not implemented, but it is unexpectedly implemented in this era.
So he smiled and asked,

"Dad, when did this property tax come about? Why didn't I hear about paying taxes for renovating a house before I left?"

“This is all after you left.
In the summer of 1951, the State Council promulgated and implemented the "Provisional Regulations on Urban Real Estate Tax".
It stipulates:

Newly built houses are exempt from real estate tax for three years from the date of completion;
If the renovation of a house exceeds one-half of the cost of the new construction, the real estate tax will be exempted for two years from the date of completion;

The property tax is levied annually based on the standard house price, with a tax rate of 1%;

The real estate tax is levied annually based on the standard land price, with a tax rate of 1.5%;

After 2 years, the total is 5%.
Our Nanluoguxiang is full of old houses, which cannot compare to the old-fashioned workers' new villages that have been built in the past two years.

The unified ratings of land prices and housing prices are not high, and adding them together will not save much money.

But every bit saved is a bit saved.”

Hearing that it was released in the summer of 1951, He Yuzhu believed that it must have been very perfect after several years of development, so he did not ask any more questions.

After He Yuzhu finished talking about renovating the house, he saw that there was nothing to do for the time being, so he prepared to go out.

"Okay, since you have no objection, let's do this first.

I'll go to Beiluoguxiang to ask Lao Zhang to come over and have a look, so that I don't have to be late for work for another week."

Seeing that He Daqing was in a hurry to go out, He Yuzhu also prepared to make clothes and other things.

"become,

Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the alley to buy some cloth and make some clothes.

After a few days when I go back to work, I will go to Dazhalan to buy some satin to make quilts."

Having made up their minds, the father and son prepared to go out, but just as they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw Yi Zhonghai and others coming back after sending Li Hongying back.

He Yuzhu looked at them and asked,

"Uncle, where are Yushui, Qingshan and the others? Didn't they come back with you?"

"No, Director Li left Yushui, Xiao'e and the others to play over there, so they will probably be back a little late.

"Team leader, didn't you and your father just come back from outside? Where are you going?"
