Chapter 189 Political Review
The villagers who escaped from Nanlin Village had experienced life and death all the way, and they had a very high sense of security. Every family was willing to spend a lot of money on the walls of their courtyards, and there was also a national loan policy issued by the government.
A house can keep out the wind and rain, but the wall must be high and strong. Everyone is either at school or at work during the day, and most people don't have anyone at home during the day. Without a strong high wall, they feel uneasy.
Although there was no gold or silver in the house, rice, oil, quilts, clothes... those were also in short supply. Ordinary people had these necessities of life at home, but they could only have them after coming to the country.
Besides, after a busy day, who doesn’t want to sleep peacefully at night? How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days? It is better to protect yourself once than to guard against thieves for a thousand days!
The rape and murder case that happened some time ago has made the common people of Xinghai City, especially those with women at home, terrified and cautious.
Everyone looked at the solid cement wall of Lin Youcai's house with envy. Books contain beautiful women and golden houses. No matter what time it is, it is better to be good at reading!
Other families are not unwilling to spend money to build cement walls, but they don’t have enough political review points! Some families don’t have political review points at all.
We have been in the country for more than three months, and have been going to school, working, and renting a house. In life, there is no need for political review.
The three types of people, namely the native people in the territories occupied by the country, the people from other places who have settled in the country, and the people who have stable jobs in the country, know the importance of political review scores.
Everyone was preparing to settle down in Xinghai City, and with the government's preferential policy of allocating land for building houses, they learned about the political review process.
Lin Youcai and his family did not know about the political review score until they moved to Xinghai City to build a house. All four members of their family had political review scores, but they had never known about it.
When Lin Youcai proposed to build a cement wall, the staff said that they needed to check the political review score. Just having money was not enough. Only those with qualified scores could apply to build a cement wall.
The family of four was bewildered. They watched the staff checking the political review scores. Only then did they know about the political review scores and that the four of them had political review scores.
The political assessment score for graduating from the junior class is 50, the political assessment score for graduating from the intermediate class is 100, and the political assessment score for graduating from the advanced class is 200. When Lin Youcai was in Qingshui City, he went to the village to teach 47 times, adding 2 points each time, for a total of 94 points.
Lin Youcai: 350+94, Shen Xianglan: 350, Lin Xianwen: 350, Lin Zisu: 350. A family of four is registered in the same household registration book, and their political review scores can be counted together. The political review scores of the four people add up to 1494 points. Only when the political review scores exceed points can the cement wall materials be applied for.
The Japanese government has set a threshold for using cement to build walls and houses. First, productivity cannot keep up; second, construction is going on everywhere, and the government's demand is already very large, so government projects must be given priority; third, it is not cement that is precious and rare, but steel bars. Steel bar raw materials are expensive and rare, and the production requirements of steel bars are very high. Steel bars must be added to cement buildings to make them more stable, so there are not many cement high-rise buildings in Japan, and the tallest ones are only 2 or 3 stories high.
Fourth, the political review score is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. Resources are limited, and the limited resources will definitely be given priority to those who contribute to and are useful to the country.
Because they didn't have the political review score, they had to give up and buy wood. They buried a whole piece of wood as big as a bowl deep in the soil, and surrounded the entire courtyard wall side by side, with the top of the wood sharpened. The courtyard wall is 4 or 5 meters high, and the whole piece of wood is thick, so the courtyard wall is also thick, which looks very safe.
It costs a lot to buy a whole piece of wood, which is not much cheaper than building a concrete wall. If you want to go to the mountains to cut trees, it is impossible. Outsiders don’t have mountains, so where can they get trees to cut? Most locals buy wood, and the resources are all owned by the government.
The four members of Lin Youcai's family received a total of 1494 political review points, 1000 of which were used to build the wall, including 194 for Lin Youcai, 100 for Shen Xianglan, 100 for Lin Zisu, and 100 for Lin Xianwen.
Lin Youcai passed the civil service exam and got 200 extra points. The two brothers and sisters bravely helped others and each got 100 extra points in their political review. Lin Zisu donated to the Big Tree Foundation, and in addition to the women's products and a donation certificate, she also got 100 extra points in her political review.
The remaining 494 points, plus the 500 political review points, totaled 994 points. Lin Youcai's family wanted a brick and tile kitchen and bathroom, but they were 6 points short.
Shen Xianglan donated 1000 yuan to the Big Tree Foundation, received a bag of feminine products and a donation certificate, and got 20 political review points. Each person's cash donation per year cannot exceed yuan.
I collected 1000 yuan and applied for a brick kitchen and bathroom. The land area is large, the yard is large, and the wall is long, so there are more building materials for the wall, so I need 1000 political review points. The brick kitchen and bathroom use less cement and steel than the wall.
The houses that everyone wants to build are made of solid wood, without nails or glue, and the whole house has mortise and tenon joints. The foundation of each house is built with cement and steel bars. There is no need for political review points, only money is calculated. This is a welfare given by the government.
The same thing happened to Lin Youcai's house. His cement foundation was built, and the stone piers for the wooden pillars were positioned, coated with cement, and fixed on the cement foundation. The kitchen and bathroom sewers were drained through large buried ceramic pipes, and the underground manure pit was built with cement.
Every family had to wait in line for the carpenter to come and work. Lin Zisu's family was the same. The wood had been transported into the yard a long time ago, but they had to wait for the carpenter to come before they could build the wooden house.
The family of four spent two nights studying and drawing the layout of the house, a one-story three-in-one wooden house with a total of 7 rooms, a large hall, a storage room, a large kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, and a separate small toilet.
In the middle is the lobby, which is equivalent to a large living room. Entering the lobby, open the door on the right to see a small living room. From the small living room, open the door to the master bedroom of Lin Youcai and Shen Xianglan. From the master bedroom, open the door to a cloakroom, a room for their personal belongings. The three rooms on the right are the couple's private area.
There are three rooms on the left side of the main hall. The doors of rooms 1 and 2 are in the main hall, and the door of room 3 is in the back corridor. The main hall in the middle has the area of one room plus half a room, and there is also a room behind the main hall.
When you enter the main hall, there is a door on the left opposite. Walking into it is a corridor that is more than 4 meters long and 1 meter wide. There is a door on the right hand side, which is the guest room behind the main hall.
From the corridor, there is a cement corridor more than 3 meters wide and several dozen meters long. Across the long indoor corridor, there is a row of cement brick houses opposite. From right to left, there is a small independent toilet, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a large kitchen, and a storage room.
The last cloakroom on the right of Lin Youcai and Shen Xianglan is opposite the bathroom. The last room on the left is opposite the storage room. The guest room behind the main hall is opposite the large kitchen, and there is an indoor corridor in between.
