Actor's reincarnation

It gets dark early in spring in the capital, and it’s already dark at six o’clock, and it’s time to light the lights. By 06:30, it’s already completely dark.

At this time, although there is no such thing as a nine-to-five job, all industries basically have an eight-hour work system. They go to work at 08:30 in the morning and get off work at [-] in the evening, with a one-and-a-half-hour break at noon.

At this time, there was no such thing as weekends and weekends. I worked normally from Monday to Saturday, and Sunday was called "voluntary labor day". I had to continue to work, and it was free.

There are no holidays for the May Day labor, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. There are only three days off for the Spring Festival and National Day throughout the year.

What's even more inhumane is that starting from next year, the next ten years will be open all year round!

On New Year's Eve, we will work non-stop, and on the first day of the first lunar month, we will continue to fight. We must grasp the revolution, promote production, break all feudal customs, and celebrate the revolutionary Spring Festival.

So we can't blame people in this era for not having leisure, they really don't have time for leisure.

I have been busy all day during the day, and now it will be dark after dinner.

At this time, there is no place to go in the capital at night, and it is not safe to go outside after dark, so I can only stay at home.

Almost every household in the courtyard house has only one electric light on, and most people only have electricity in the big house, and there is no electricity in the bedroom of the small house. They either use wax or kerosene lamps.

The reason for this is, of course, to save money.

You know, there is no electric meter these days, and electricity bills are not paid according to the degree, but a simple and rude way to collect electricity bills, that is-counting light bulbs!

How many light bulbs you have in your home will be charged accordingly.

And the wattage of the bulb is different, and the cost is also different.

For example, a ten-watt light bulb costs [-] cents per month, a [-]-watt light bulb costs [-] cents, and so on.

At this time, fifteen-watt light bulbs were most commonly used, and only rich people were willing to use twenty-watt or more light bulbs.

Therefore, in order to save money, ordinary families only install one light bulb in the big house.

This method seems absurd today, but it was taken for granted at the time, because at that time, the only thing that every household could use circuits was light bulbs.

Families with good conditions may use electric fans, but as long as you have this thing, you will pay an extra five yuan for electricity every year, and ordinary families can neither afford nor support it.

As for things such as refrigerators, only a very small number of high-ranking families can afford them, and such families do not need to pay electricity bills.

The radio is powered by batteries and does not need electricity.

The third master, Yan Fugui, also has a radio in his home. In this courtyard, Xu Damao's is the only family with a radio in his house.

Whether it's the bicycle outside the door that is always polished, or the radio in the living room at home, Yan Fugui saves it bit by bit.

There are seven members of Yan's family, besides Yan Fugui and Sanma, they have three sons and a daughter.

The eldest, Yan Jiecheng, is married, and his daughter-in-law is Yu Li. The young couple lived separately, but they still ate in the same pot, and lived in a separate room next door, Yan Fugui.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are both temporary workers, and their combined salary is only about 15 yuan, and they have to pay Yan Fugui [-] yuan every month for accommodation and food expenses. A tight one.

The second child, Yan Jiefang, is [-] years old. After dropping out of junior high school, he has nothing to do. Now he occasionally does odd jobs outside, but most of the time he is doing nothing, which makes the third uncle and the old couple very headache.

The third child, Yan Jiekuang, and the fourth girl, Yan Jiedi, are still in school.

Yan Fugui’s salary is 42 yuan a month, plus the 15 yuan handed in by the eldest son and his wife every month, which is 57 yuan a month. The most common income level of ordinary people.

Considering that Yan Jiecheng has only been working for a few years, and before that, Yan Fugui was the only one to support his family, supporting four children to school, feeding, drinking and dressing them. It's been a little bit better in the past two years.

But under such difficult conditions, the third uncle not only did not neglect the children's education, but also married the eldest son Zhang Luozhuo, bought "big things" such as radios and bicycles for the family, and became "the number one in the hospital" It can be said that it was very successful.

This is also the thing that the third master is most proud of. He neither steals nor robs. How many are there in Beijing?

And the reason why he can do this is because he can calculate.

The third master often said that "you can't eat poorly, you can't wear poorly, and if you can't calculate, you will suffer poorly."

Everyone scolded him Yan Laoxier and Yan Laogou, but the third master didn't care.

What's wrong with digging?
Who do you think can dig out a bicycle and a radio?
This is called skill!

But once everything is extreme, it is too much.

The third grandpa, Yan Fugui, listens to the radio on weekdays and does not dare to amplify the sound for fear of electricity consumption. He has a clear account with his own son, Ding Mao, Mao, and this makes the whole family care about everything. Calculating, interests are more important than family affection.

A family sits at the same dining table to eat, and there is a ration of how much each person eats. Generally, you will not miss a bite, but you can eat more if you want.

Today, the third mother ordered noodle soup. Because she was angry with Su Yi for a while, she finished cooking and the whole family went home. The third mother hadn't cooked yet.

Yan Fugui saw that his wife was not in the right mood, so he hurriedly asked about the situation. Now that the third mother has something to complain about, he immediately told everything about what happened between him and Su Yi today.

"Just fifty cents for cleaning?" Yan Fugui was very surprised, "You got the money? Didn't you just bluff you?"

"At that time, I agreed to give it to me!" The third mother said, "I have to lose money too much, otherwise the fifty cents will not fall on me."

"This kid has been spoiled by his grandma. He is greedy, and he will suffer a lot when he grows up." Yan Fugui commented, and then changed the subject, "This Su Yuanchao will not survive, how can there be such a waste of money?"

"Dad, look at what you said, if he doesn't waste the money, can it be my mother's turn to earn the money?" Yan Jiecheng interjected, and then said sourly, "It means that Yu Li and I are both at work, otherwise it won't be my turn." Mom, oh, miss it, miss it, this fifty cents is like picking it up for nothing."

"That's right, there's nothing to clean in an empty house." Yu Li also smacked her lips.

"Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is always time in life, so don't force it." Yan Fugui dropped a sentence from his book bag, and then frowned, "This Qin Huairu has no profit, and you can't afford to make two sets of bedding." Four or five meters of cloth? Then how much will she get for pulling the cart?"

"Can't you give me seven or eight cents?" Yan Xiecheng guessed.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Yan Fugui sighed, "My wife, you did a terrible job today, you didn't use your brain! You took over the cleaning work, so you should talk too much." What are you afraid of asking one more question? If you ask him what he bought in the empty house, won’t he just take over the work of pulling goods later?”

"After the goods are pulled, the sewing work will fall into our hands. Although our family does not have a sewing machine, we can borrow someone else's. My wife, my wife, look at you, you don't need to use your brain. How much money did you lose?"

"Say less than one yuan and five!" Yan Xiecheng slapped his thigh, "Mom, you are too wrong! Dad always said that you can't eat poorly, wear poorly, and you will be poor if you can't calculate, but you can't just calculate at home. You have to count outsiders! If I were at home, I would definitely not let this money fly under my nose!"

"Blame me, blame me, oops, I'm so regretful!" The third mother slapped her thigh, her face full of annoyance, "If I took this job early, that little widow would still be able to seduce the soul of that prodigal son!" ? It's all right now, I'm afraid that if there is a chance in the future, the first thing he thinks of is Widow Qin!"

"Mom, what are you afraid of? His Jia's family has a great mother, doesn't our family also have my sister-in-law?" Yan Jiefang grinned, "The mother of the great mother is as good-looking as my sister-in-law."

"Bastard talk!" As soon as Yan Jiefang finished speaking, Yan Fugui's face changed drastically, "What do you think of your sister-in-law? No matter how poor our Yan family is, we can't lose our dignity and integrity. Everything I taught you is in vain. ?”

"I, I didn't mean that..." Yan Jiefang was so frightened that he stuttered.

"You, you are old and young, you must have talked too much!" Yan Xiecheng said angrily, "Why not compare, do you have to compare your sister-in-law with a widow?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, brother, I didn't mean that." Yan Jiefang said hastily.

"The second child is also out of words, don't talk about him." The third mother still looked very depressed, "His dad, the old saying goes, if you don't pick it up, you lose it. I didn't do the right thing today, you see Is there a way to make up for it? It’s fine for Widow Qin to take advantage of the fool, they are all in the middle courtyard, but this Su Yuanchao belongs to our front yard, Qin Huairu stretched his hands too far, right?”

Yan Fugui pondered slightly, and said: "Fang is long in the future, let me meet him and feel his temperament before I talk. I still say that there are times in life, and there is always time in life. Don't force it. Don't expect others to give it to you. It’s just that we can seize this opportunity when we have it, and that’s enough.”

After a pause, Yan Fugui pointed to his wife to educate the juniors: "What your mother did today is a negative example, and we must learn from it!"

"Dad, I will remember."

"Understood, Dad."

The children answered sparsely.

"Eat and eat! My wife is going to fill the rice!" Yan Fugui waved his hand, and suddenly looked at Yan Xiecheng, "Xiecheng, the rice between you two needs to be thinner today, so I'll let you know in advance."

"No, why?" Yan Jiecheng was anxious, "Dad, we paid a lot of 15 yuan per month!"

"Yes, you paid a lot." Yan Fugui said with a smile, "but what you pay is the accommodation and food expenses. Aren't the dishes and chopsticks you use also from home? These things are worn out. fee……"

"Worn?" Yu Li couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Dad, I heard from Xie Cheng that our tableware hasn't been changed for more than ten years. What's wrong with you?"

"That's right, he didn't even dare to ask me to charge for the wear and tear of the dishes when I went to eat in a restaurant. You're a good guy..." Yan Xiecheng was furious.

"How many meals do you eat in a restaurant? You eat it at home, so it won't wear out?" Yan Fugui said, "I know it wears out slowly, so don't I charge too much? That's every Monday afternoon. For this meal, the rice for the two of you will be thinner, and it will be the same as usual."

boom!
With a dark face, Yu Li slammed the table and stood up, turned her head and went out, slamming the door heavily.

"Hey, who are you throwing face at?" The third mother was not happy, "Xie Cheng, your daughter-in-law is so uneducated, do you care? If you don't want to come to eat at home, you can cook alone! I'm too lazy Serving! I still have to look at your faces when the food is cooked for you, what I'm used to!"

Yan Fugui waved his hand lightly and calmly: "Forget it, it's understandable that the daughter-in-law can't figure it out for a while, and it will be fine when she understands the truth. Eat and eat, it's solved, and you will give your daughter-in-law a meal later." Take it over, but you have to tell her that it’s not an example! Our Yan family has rules, and we can’t let our temper!"

"Oh." Yan Jiecheng replied depressedly.

At the same time, many people in the courtyard house talked about their new neighbor Su Yi.

At the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house, the second aunt also mentioned the new college student, but she knew very little, only a general idea.

Liu Haizhong knew a lot, because everyone in the factory was talking about Su Yi today.

"It was the younger brother of Su Jianshe in the factory, the one who had an accident with Jia Dongxu." Liu Haizhong said, "I don't know how to get on the line of Li Xinmin. He gets a college student's salary as soon as he enters the venue, 49 a month. It's one and fifty cents, it's almost catching up with me."

"Hey, where is this? You are far from Dad." Liu Guangtian, the second uncle's son, said with a smile.

Liu Haizhong glanced at him and didn't respond.

At this time, the second uncle's family was also eating, and what they ate was corn flour and corn bread.

But there was only a plate of fried peanuts and half a bottle of white wine in front of Liu Haizhong.

The second uncle's two sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, looked at the peanuts and salivated, but they dared not stretch out their hands to pick one.

The family style of the second uncle Liu Haizhong is different from that of the third uncle's family. He is not picky, and he will let his sons have a good meal every month, and he does not ask his son for accommodation or food expenses on weekdays.

He has three sons, the eldest son is Liu Guangqi, who is married and went to work with his wife in other places.

The two in front of me are the second son Liu Guangtian and the third son Liu Guangfu.

The second son dropped out of school and worked odd jobs outside, and the third son is still in middle school.

Liu Haizhong is extremely eccentric, and Tiexin thinks that only the eldest son Liu Guangqi can provide for him in the old age, so what is good is only Liu Guangqi, and he loves Liu Guangqi in every possible way, and he also arranges the marriage by himself.

But he didn't care so much about his second and third sons. He beat and scolded them frequently since he was a child. He just provided them with food and shelter.

He was a moody tyrant at home, feared by both sons, and from childhood they developed the habit of flattering him.
