Return To 1977 Chapter 848: Room

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

You have to know that in the Republic of this era, hotels were far less common than they are today.

The biggest requirement for people who travel away from home is cleanness and safety.

The standard configuration of most guest rooms in mainland hotels is actually quite simple.

A kettle, a washbasin, a single bed, a set of bedding, and a bedside table.

But even in this kind of place, not everyone can live in it, because it is called a single room, and only those with a bachelor's degree or above can enjoy the benefits.

Most people have to live in the same room, and often seven or eight people sleep in one room.

The only thing worthy of praise is that people at this time are very friendly.

Where are you talking about? Let’s chat? We smoke cigarettes together and drink wine together.

So Shui Qing couldn't believe that such a luxurious and luxurious place, which was more comfortable than home, was actually for tourists.

At this moment I finally couldn’t help but ask.

"Xiao Wu, didn't you say that the conditions of the hotel are not good? How could there be a place like this? Let me see, this place is almost catching up with the standards of a state hotel? Are we people allowed to live here casually?"

Hong Yanwu said, "Hey, where is this? Flower City. The front line of reform. Not far away are Hong Kong and Shenzhen. There are not many officials here, but there are more and more overseas Chinese and Hong Kong businessmen. This city's The hotel is almost dedicated to serving them. As long as you can afford it, you can stay. In fact, even our 'Jianguo Hotel' in Beijing is similar in nature to this one. This is called 'economic development as the goal', and this is what it is. The future direction of development. When I have time, I will take you there once and you will know.”

Shui Qing thought for a while, couldn't help but let out an "ahhh", and then asked.

"Then a place like this must be very expensive. How much does it cost to stay for one night?"

But I won’t say anything about this Hong Yanwu, just two words to deal with it.

"Confidential."

"Huh? Why can't you say it?"

Shui Qing blinked in confusion.

Hong Yanwu has his own reasons.

"Then you still need to ask? You will definitely feel it's not worth it and you'll be unhappy if you know it. I'm here to make you happy, so wouldn't it be counterproductive. So don't ask how much it cost, as long as you and us As long as my daughter likes it.”

"But..."

Shui Qing swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

How could she not understand Hong Yanwu's feelings?

Who wouldn’t like such comfort and luxury?

But the problem is that the education she has received since childhood and the ideology she has formed long ago seem to tell her that this is wrong. This is the decadent lifestyle of a class enemy, and she must beware of the depravity of human nature.

It is inevitable that she will have feelings of resistance and self-blame in her heart.

And the more Hong Yanwu said this, the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but guess the price of the room.

...Well, the purchaser at the factory said that the best hotel room they had ever stayed in was twenty-five yuan.

It must not be as good as here?

Is it possible that it costs fifty or seventy yuan to stay here for a day?

Oh, it can’t be that exaggerated, right?

This is a month’s salary for workers...

Hong Yanwu saw Shui Qing's mood from the change in her expression. He knew what she was thinking without her having to say anything, and immediately smiled.

"Look, I'm already feeling unhappy before I tell you, right? I knew you would be like this..."

After saying this, I started to feel relieved again.

"To be honest, I can't afford to live in the past. But haven't times changed now? Don't forget, poverty is not socialism. Our country must always develop in the direction of prosperity. How else can we achieve it? 'Ultimate goal'? As one of the few who get rich first, we will not be able to make any money otherwise.

"Think about it again, doesn't this high-end hotel represent the healthy development of the economy? Poor places don't need this. In fact, no matter how much the current price is, don't think it's expensive. I dare say that with the development of society, With development, prices here will continue to rise in the future, because once people get rich, they will want to go out and gain experience, and as the economy prospers, more and more people will travel for business.”

"At that time, there will be more people who want to stay in five-star hotels, and more and more hotels will be built. There will be so many that they are everywhere, and they will cost thousands of dollars a day. What, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, you will definitely experience it one day..."

Unexpectedly, at this point, he had gradually deviated from the point, causing Shui Qing to object.

"You're talking nonsense, I don't believe it. Who would live in such a high house price? What you said is so outrageous, you are so awesome..."

So Hong Yanwu quickly braked in time and returned to the theme.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. In fact, in essence, this problem is still the same as when we went to Lao Mo's for dinner. The reason that makes you uneasy and worried is whether it is better to be frugal or luxurious."

"My attitude is still the same, do what you can and do it occasionally. I think as long as you do this, you don't need to be awkward."

"Can't we spend the money we earn openly? What's more, this is our 'honeymoon'. Shouldn't we live a better life and create more beautiful memories? I think, There’s nothing wrong with being extravagant, just don’t waste it.”

"Besides, this hotel also involves our country's investment. If no one stays in it, then the country will not lose money? Are we still contributing to the country? This is called promoting consumption. We cannot let the people of our country, Has it always stayed at the level of "Chen Huansheng Goes to the City"?

"Also, the most important thing is, don't forget, my money is for you. Now that I have made money, I naturally want to give you the best life enjoyment. On the contrary, you can rest assured. If I really want to go back home, I guarantee that I can continue to live the same life as before with you. As long as I am with you, eating big pickled radish and steamed buns will be as sweet as honey..."

With a "puff" sound, Shui Qing finally smiled.

She thought about it too. How had Hong Yanwu ever valued money more than people?

And in his daily life, he has never been wanton and extravagant.

What's more, with the wealth he has, he can really afford to spend this money, so why worry about it?

You should believe that he is...

"Look at you, how can you tell so many truths and contribute to the country even with money? I can't help you. However, how could I have wronged you so much? Who is still eating steamed buns now? It's all rice and flour. Why do you think I'm like 'Grandet'? Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, okay? Huh, I'll eat the steamed buns myself after I go back, and I'll make sure you have wine and meat for every meal. , my eldest young master..."

Shui Qing's words were meant as a joke, which was enough to prove that the knot in her heart had been resolved.

I didn’t expect that Hong Yanwu was a person who could shine brightly when given a little sunshine, so he really climbed up the ladder.

"You are wrong again, I am the third young master, and the eldest young master is my eldest brother..."

Hey, Shui Qing is so angry that he is itching his teeth. He really wants to pinch him.
