Chapter 769 [768] Famine Age 9 (1 more)
Although the summer harvest in 1944 was not a bumper harvest, it still reached two to three hundred catties per mu, which may be much worse than the eight hundred to one thousand catties in the previous life. Looking at the years of famine, it has been much better than expected.

The space is only a piece of land, and she can't sell it for 20 yuan a month. In addition to eating and studying by herself, she can save ten yuan if she can save it.

What's more, girls should also pay attention to hygiene in life. Toilet paper, soap, towels, toothpaste and toothbrush, cream, and clam oil are all essential items. She has never seen shampoo in the cooperative, and other things are not cheap. All in all, every month on this, there must be at least three oceans of expenditure.

It's not that she's hypocritical, but that she has such an opportunity, even if she's poorly dressed, she doesn't want to lower her standards in these areas.

Of course, she didn't dare to take these things outside for others to see. She washed her face and turned off the lights, so she secretly wiped some of them under the blanket.

It’s okay in summer, but if it’s winter, if you don’t put some cream on your face, it will be dry and chapped, and if you don’t put anything on your hands, you will feel uncomfortable when writing.

Before she was at home, she didn't want to be pretentious. Now that she lives in school and has some pocket money, she just wants to treat herself better.

During the calamity year, I thought that in 49, I would be able to cultivate the land, but the land at home is so small that the adults can do enough. As a child, if she doesn’t learn some knowledge and save some diplomas, she will be able to do so in the future. Everyone, how to bring it out?
After all, no matter what era you are in, without a diploma, you can't achieve much, unless you do business.

But in the 50s, she began to use tickets to buy things gradually. In the 60s, she ate a big pot of rice. It was not until the end of the 70s that the college entrance examination was resumed, and she was able to do business in the 80s. How old was she by then?Are you going to retire soon?
So, think about it, get a diploma while you can still go to college, find a job with a solid rice bowl, and rely on your own ability to let the children in the family study. As long as you have a diploma, you can easily find a job Yes, in the 60s and [-]s, even if you go to work in a factory, you must have a registered permanent residence in addition to a diploma.

After all, can she not study?
When I was at home, I used plant ash to wash my hair. She had a lot of hair and it was long, and it was usually braided. After coming to school, she found that it was too long and it was too troublesome to manage. So I went to the barber shop and spent a dollar to cut it into a student's head. The long hair was kept in my own space, thinking of selling it in the future.

Once the hair is cut and the bangs are kept straight, the age suddenly looks much younger, and the soap used to wash the hair is also saved a lot, the weight on the head is also reduced sharply, and the overall feeling is relaxed and neat.

Although this face still looks so dirty, at least she has cleaned herself up. As for the rest, she will only care about it when the conditions are good.

Ye Huan hasn't had her period yet. In this day and age, everyone uses cotton cloth strips. Cotton is used in good conditions, and plant ash is used in poor conditions. Even straw paper is very rough, and it can't be used as a cushion at all.

The students used cotton strips or cotton, and few used plant ash. Ye Huan was also glad that she didn't come, because she didn't have the conditions to use cotton or cotton strips.

The girls in the dormitory, the oldest and the youngest are only twelve or thirteen years old, and the total number of menstruating girls is less than ten.

So it should be considered normal for Ye Huan not to come at the age of 14. After all, the nutrition and environment in this age are not as good as in the previous life.

Earlier, she told her family that she was working as a nanny at the professor's house, so she would pay ten oceans to her family every month, because when she first went there, she said that she was in charge of food and housing, ten oceans a month.

But after going there, grandpa said that her husband taught her to read and write for free, and the school supplies were all paid for by him, so the last ten oceans are not needed, and the right is to pay the tuition fee, and the family has nothing to do with it. significance.

Therefore, until now, she has been able to save the 35 yuan after deducting all expenses in more than three months.

At the beginning of June, I helped the family harvest wheat, took my younger siblings to the field to pick up wheat, and made miscellaneous vegetable paste soup for a few days.

The so-called miscellaneous vegetable paste is the paste mixed with wild vegetables and corn grits. It tastes a bit rough and hard to swallow, but it is very hungry.

During this period, more vegetables were grown at home. Eggplants, beans, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and greens all grew up. The top of the vegetables was not harsh, and the sweet potato leaves in the backyard also grew lushly. Space, when selling fruit, by the way, sell some government currency with a small currency value.

Because the sweet potato leaves grow fast, she dared to brush them so unscrupulously. Of course, she will also prepare some red dates, walnuts, cauliflower, and lotus roots grown in the space for her family. Then you have leeks, cucumbers and pumpkins at home. Yes, if she can't finish it, she will find some space and help sell it.

The reason is very simple, those given by the husband, those she took away, were brought to the husband.

Anyway, grandpa and father won't poke her, so she just keeps fooling around like this.

After harvesting the wheat, she went back to the city. Now the road is very familiar, and it is also in broad daylight. My father can rest assured that he never saw her off.

This time she wandered around the hospital for three days and sold it for 15 yuan, ten yuan.

Taking advantage of the fact that the cloth bought by the cooperative does not require cloth tickets, she bought ten oceans of cloth, one ocean ten meters, and ten yuan is 100 meters. She picked several colors. At least it's new.

When she came home on the weekend, she gave the cloth to A Niang, and asked her to make some clothes for the big family. Of course, there were red and yellow ones inside, which happened to be two summer clothes for her and her younger sister.

For the remaining ten yuan in change, she bought ten catties of large grain salt and it was gone.

She is now at the tenth level of the field, and will soon be promoted to the eleventh level. At the eleventh level, there will be watermelons. With watermelons, the price will go up.

Because she visited so many cooperatives, but she didn't see anyone selling watermelons.

Now is the time to eat watermelons, but there are no ones for sale in the streets and alleys, which is enough to show that people have no free land to plant them. However, if there is any land, they will be planted with wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, even soybeans. It is also stronger than watermelon!

Helping the family plant corn, sorghum, buckwheat, and sesame, she went to the city to sell vegetables and fruits for four days, earning 30 yuan and [-] yuan.

Adding the previous 30 oceans, it is now [-] oceans and [-] yuan.

For 30 yuan, I bought five catties of vinegar and five catties of soy sauce.

I spent ten yuan to buy four barrels of wheat milk for my grandparents, younger brothers and sisters, and five yuan to buy three catties of small-milled sesame oil.

She spent another five yuan to buy 30-meter cotton cloth of better quality, and she planned to use these to make some underwear for herself.

This time, there are another forty oceans left.

There are a lot of things to buy home, so it’s not easy to weigh them all at once. When you turn around, take them out slowly. First, take out a bucket of wheat, milk, and essence to supplement nutrition for grandma.

When Grandpa saw such a precious thing, he looked at her disapprovingly: "It's a waste of money again. It's a waste for us to eat these things."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will earn more in the future. Now it is a bucket, and in the future it will be a box. You just drink it. As long as the granddaughter can afford it, she will buy it for you. No one will waste it. You and grandma will never bear it in this life." It’s time to enjoy the happiness of eating and not being willing to wear and feed us.”

Time flies into July, and the time at home is about half of the time in the city. Because I need to save some supplies, I saved 40 yuan this month.

In the past, she could save 20 yuan a month at school because she only had one day a week to sell her stalls. But now that she is on vacation and has free time, she makes good use of her time. She harvests two to three seasons every day. In July, she The field level has risen to level 7, and only one watermelon is brought at a time. A watermelon costs five yuan, and it can sell almost three watermelons a day.

She sells one in one place, and then moves it to the next place. After all, there can only be one in the basket, and it’s not easy to switch back and forth, so she can only change places.

Relying on this method, in July, she saved 7 yuan, and used the money from selling vegetables to buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, underwear, hair ropes for everyone in the family, and another 40 yuan to buy Thirty catties of cotton.

This price also changes as things become rarer and more expensive.

When she lived in the space, she basically didn’t buy food, because there was corn in the space. When she was hungry, she would steam a pot. The pot contained corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, which was enough for her to eat.

After buying cotton, she still has a balance of 50 yuan.

In August, she earned 8 yuan, which she also bought into cotton, because the cold winter was coming, and she wanted to save cotton to make cotton padded clothes for each family member.

When school started in September, she became a student in the third grade of junior high school. With this summer study, she has already passed all the courses in the third and fourth grades of junior high school.

If you don't know the key points to record, when you are studying, ask the teacher separately, so that you can get a good consolidation.

The food at school is still the same unpalatable as before, and she has not seen meat all year round, so she has become accustomed to being a vegetarian, but what is better than other students is that she can go into the space from time to time to roast corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and eat a tomato and Cucumbers, tooth beating sacrifices, and expensive fruits, she herself is reluctant to eat, because the money she sells can buy cotton and cloth.

But in order to increase her own nutrition, she still buys a basket of eggs and boils them every once in a while, eating one every day.

I can't afford anything else. I have to eat eggs, and she goes door to door in the surrounding villages to buy eggs. One ocean can buy four.

If you change it to the city, you can buy three for one ocean, and sometimes you can only buy two in winter, which is very expensive, and the marinated eggs sold in the school are also two for one ocean.

In this era, the price is very arbitrary. It is not a market price, but if there is less of something, it will be expensive, and if it is too much, it will be cheap.
