59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang

The frogs were caught outside the city, and the frogs were caught.

"Chen Hao, my dad caught a frog outside the city, I'll treat you to frog legs."

Jiang Hongjun came out of the middle courtyard with two frog legs and said to Chen Hao.

Frogs mainly start to move in February, with a peak in August, and gradually become less in October and enter hibernation.

"Where did your dad get it?" Chen Feng asked.

"To work, repairing the reservoir."

Jiang Hongjun gave a frog leg to Chen Hao, and Chen Hao took a small bite without hesitation.

Chen Li saw it and ran over from the house.

Chen Hao gave the remaining half to the little girl.

Chen Feng didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.

"Big pot, you eat!"

The little girl ate the remaining half of the meat and said while holding up a small bone.

"Ahem, eat it yourself."

Chen Feng waved his hand and declined the love from his sister.

This love was too heavy for him to bear.

"There must be a lot of toads in the reservoir, right?" Chen Hao asked.

Jiang Hongjun shook his head and said, "There is no water now, it's all dry. My father said there will be a lot of fish there in the future."

The reservoir that Jiang Hongjun was talking about was the Miyun Reservoir.

On September 1, 1958, the construction of the Miyun Reservoir officially started. It was flood-proof in 1959 and completed in September 1960.

The birth of this reservoir ended the history of floods and waterlogging disasters in the city for 500 years.

"Big pot, I'm hungry."

The little girl ate a small bite of meat and was greedy again.

Chen Feng glanced at his watch. There was still half an hour before the Chen family's dinner time.

"Let's go, brother will take you to buy new clothes."

Holding the little girl, he got on the bicycle.

Chen Hao quickly pulled Jiang Hongjun and got on another bicycle.

The two bicycles left the alley one after the other and entered the Wangfujing Street Department Store.

From clothing, cloth, needles and thread, buttons to watches, bicycles, radios, all the items circulating in the market at that time could be bought in the department store,

Put the bicycle in a safe area specially for parking bicycles in the department store.

The four people entered the store together.

"Hello, what size clothes do you want to buy?"

"As big as her."

Chen Hao held the little girl and let her hang in front of the wardrobe.

The little girl's eyes were already looking at these custom-made clothes, and the colorful clothes made her very excited.

"Brother, the clothes here are very expensive." Chen Hao reminded.

A piece of adult cotton clothing costs 12-18 yuan, which is almost a month's salary for an apprentice and half a month's salary for an ordinary worker.

"Children's clothes are quite small, only a few dollars."

Chen Feng said indifferently: "It just so happened that I sold wild ducks to the cannery last time and left three industrial coupons."

Industrial coupons were just created this year.

Previously, "high-priced luxury goods" like clothes, like ordering meals at high-end restaurants, did not require receipts.

Spend money freely.

Starting in 1959, due to the shortage of materials, 55 kinds of goods including woolen cloth, silk, sweaters, milk pots, aluminum lunch boxes, batteries, etc. were included in the supply range of industrial coupons.

For industrial coupons, one industrial coupon is available for every 20 yuan of salary.

Chen Jianjun can receive 4 coupons a month, and only 48 coupons a year, and this is not to buy other industrial products without industrial coupons.

Industrial coupons will become more and more expensive in the future.

In 1973, an average of 50 people in the city could get a "Feige brand" bicycle ticket, and 30 industrial coupons were required to buy it.

On the black market, one industrial coupon can be sold for 2 yuan.

The salesperson took a few clothes and compared them.

"These clothes are suitable for her."

Chen Feng asked: "Lily, which one do you like?"

The little girl looked for a long time, pointed to one of the red patterned cotton coats, her little face flushed, full of joy and happiness, and said: "Flowers."

"Okay, this style, three different colors."

Chen Feng was so arrogant that I thought he was buying a bicycle!

"Do you want the last two to be one or two sizes bigger? Children grow up fast!"

The salesperson knew that Chen Feng was still a little kid and didn't know how to manage the house at all, so she kindly reminded Chen Feng.

Parents of this era normally buy clothes for their children, even if the family is rich, they will buy a size bigger.

Not to mention buying three pieces of the same size!

Isn't this just complaining about having too much money!

In her heart, she has already classified Chen Feng as a "fool".

"Okay, sure, thank you."

Chen Feng corrected his mistake and picked up one and gave it to Xiaoya.

Put on the headgear.

"Hehe, Erguo, I got new clothes before you."

Chen Li was so proud that she couldn't help showing off.

"I don't want small clothes." Chen Hao lied and showed off the change given by Chen Feng, "I have money too, I can buy it myself."

"Brother Xiaofeng is so good to you."

Jiang Hongjun envied.

Jiang Hongjun's grandfather worked in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and was an old fitter, although he was only at the sixth level.

But the salary was very high!

According to the eight-level system for front-line workers, Jiang Hongjun's grandfather had a monthly salary of more than 72 yuan.

(PS: Different factories and professions have slightly different wages. For example, the standard wage for a level 6 worker in the Seventh Machinery Direct Enterprise in Sijiucheng is 79.56 yuan. This article uses the standard wage for a general fitter.)

If the quota is given to Jiang Hongjun's father, first of all, during the four-year internship,

each month is only 18 yuan, and during the four-year study period, one year of seniority plus 2 yuan, after the fifth year, the level is determined, and the formal level 1 technical worker is only 32.5 yuan.

Unless you are a fool, you will not choose to retire early.

So Jiang Hongjun's father is still an unemployed vagrant, relying on doing odd jobs everywhere to supplement the family income.

Their family is not poor, but it is definitely impossible to buy "luxury goods".

A piece of children's clothes only costs 7 yuan, and three pieces of clothes cost 21 yuan.

"Four bottles of soda, thank you."

Came to the soda seller, bought four more bottles of soda, and gave one to Jiang Hongjun.

This kid is loyal, and he can't be stingy.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng."

"Don't drink yet, wait until we get home."

Chen Feng rode his bicycle back with one hand, while Jiang Hongjun sat in the back seat of Chen Hao's car with four soda bottles.

On the way, they met people from the steel mill, just as they were going home from get off work.

"Grandpa, Brother Xiaofeng bought me soda."

Jiang Hongjun shouted at his grandfather from a distance of dozens of meters.

His grandfather was a little hard of hearing and didn't hear it at all.

It was his apprentice, Ye Suwen, a fourth-level fitter in the same yard, who loudly relayed it in his ear.

"What a waste of money, why buy soda, isn't boiled water the same?" The old man obviously didn't hear clearly.

Ye Suwen smiled helplessly.

Chen Hao slowed down and sternly warned Jiang Hongjun.

"Don't shout, sit down, Jiang Hongjun, if you drop my soda, I'll ask your grandfather to pay for it, and don't even think about coming to my house to play in the future."

"Don't worry, it won't drop. Even if I drop it, I won't drop the soda."

As soon as she entered the courtyard and got off Chen Feng's hand, Chen Li ran into Chen Jianjun's arms at the door of the main room, then twisted her little body and turned in front of him, as if she was afraid that her father couldn't see it.

"Dad, new clothes!"

"Beautiful."

Chen Jianjun hugged the little girl and said, "Beautiful, really beautiful, my daughter is the most beautiful."

"Hehehe!"

The little girl was extremely happy.

Chen Feng opened all four bottles of soda, put the bottle mouths together, and pulled gently, and the bottles were opened instantly.

He kept one bottle for himself and fed one bottle to Chen Jianjun to the little girl.

He opened his mouth and drank half of it.

"It's a pity that it's not a cold drink, and there's not enough air."
