Fengcheng old events

Chapter 16 Methods
When they arrived at Qingduizi, Zhang Jingyi and his two children temporarily settled down at his younger brother's house.

Children will lose their sense of security in unfamiliar places. Fortunately, this is the place where Zhang Jingyi grew up. It can be said that she is very familiar with it, so she is very relaxed. Under her guidance, the two children gradually relaxed and began to recover. Lively.

Zhang Jingli has five children, three boys and two girls.

The eldest daughter and the other children were not the same mother. Zhang Jingli caught up with the last group of concubines, but left after liberation. She gave birth to two children for Zhang Jingli, and the other died.

There are seven people in this big family, living in a small courtyard, the house is adequate, but a bit dilapidated.But how should I put it, these days, it is a kind of happiness to have a place to shelter from the cold, and to be able to eat enough food, and no one cares about whether it is broken or not.

At this moment, the common people’s homes don’t have any property. It’s an exaggeration to say that all the pots have been smashed to make steel. Everything is collective, including the land, the house, the cattle, horses and livestock, and the dining hall. However, Privately raise a chicken to lay an egg, eat in the cafeteria and go home, as long as there is no business, no one will care.

In the rural areas of this era, money is useless, and there is nowhere to spend it.Every family is short of it, and no one sells it to you for a little money, knowing that money is useless.Moreover, trading is illegal, and you will be jailed.

At this moment, Da Yuejin has just started, and it has not been as crazy as it was in the later stage. The phenomenon of launching satellites has not yet appeared. It is really united and focused on development.Regardless of its pros and cons, from the perspective of the time, it did liberate production.

Let’s not talk about the change of taste later. It’s a long-standing thing that Chinese people like to go to extremes when doing things. It’s not unusual.

The eldest and second child of Zhang Jingli's family no longer go to school, and it is really useless to go to school in rural areas in this day and age.Qingduizi used to be a very prosperous wharf in history. Because of the town formed by the wharf, the town was full of big businessmen. Later, the wharf was stagnant and impassable, and it gradually became deserted. It also became a village.

The Zhang family was originally a business name, and later the land became a landlord.If the money is not bought and buried, maybe there will be a day when it will be restarted.

In Zhang Jingyi's memory, his grandma and mother were relatively powerful people, the kind that no one in a radius of tens of miles knew.She was young at that time, so she didn't remember many things. She only remembered that at the end of the year, her grandma was sitting in the middle hall, and someone from outside came in to pay the bill. Then grandma would either praise a few words, or scold her, and then sealed a red envelope as a reward.

Later, I changed to my own mother. At that time, the family’s business declined, and it was changed to a tenant land. During the autumn harvest, each family paid the rent, which was also a lot of fun. My mother’s temper is relatively soft, and she has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Money and food, and sometimes support one or two.

Later, Zhang Jingyi got married. Judging from the current situation of his younger brother's family, he might be like his father-in-law's family. The tenants were deceived, and no one remembered any affection.

This is an unreasonable world.

Children don't have such complicated thoughts as adults. Jin Baoer and Zhang Guiying played together very quickly, chattering all over the yard. Liu Zhaofeng understood many things and behaved very calmly. He would take the initiative to help the family with work, although he In fact, he has never done anything, but he is very hardworking, can bear hardships, is not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and has studied very carefully, so that Zhang Jingli really praised him a few times.

It seemed that the days had returned to calm just like that, except that Jin Bao'er would occasionally think about going to school and babble in front of Zhang Jingyi, nothing happened anymore.Liu Zhaofeng has already learned to work, carrying water, chopping firewood, cutting pigweed, feeding chickens, ducks and geese, and rubbing sticks.Bai Nen's hands had yellow calluses, blisters and bleeding, but he didn't make a sound.

Half a month later, Zhang Jingli's mailed letter finally received an answer, and Yang Qingyuan replied.

Ordinary kraft envelopes, ordinary letter paper with red stripes printed on them, but because the phone number and logo of Benxi Iron and Steel Works are printed on it, it looks taller.

Zhang Jingli read the letter and said to Zhang Jingyi: "Sister, Qingyuan said he could help, and he could find acquaintances over there. He just had to find an excuse. He said he was looking for someone and asked you to pretend to marry him, and then If you change your household registration in the name of marriage, you can directly transfer to the family members of Bengang, and if you are paid, you will have a house and various subsidies at that time."

Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jingli: "Is it possible? Just married like this?"

Zhang Jingli said: "Fake, pretend to be married. You can go to the other side and get divorced after the registered permanent residence is settled. However, sister, it is not a problem for you to raise two children by yourself. If it is the other party, if you feel okay, then It's a good thing to be married.

He is a worker of Benxi Iron and Steel Co., and if he doesn’t care that you bring two children, it means he is a good person. If you can do it, you might as well try it. You don’t have to work so hard, right?There has to be a man in the house. "

Zhang Jingyi was a little dazed, and said for a long time, "Your brother-in-law just left."

Zhang Jingli said: "I know brother-in-law is really kind to you. It's really not easy to find another brother-in-law like me these days, but my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law has left. You said you took these two children with you. How old is Jin Baoer? Is Zhaofeng still studying? You are a precious person, how can you survive?"

Zhang Jingyi looked up at Zhang Jingli and said, "I know how to sew, really, I sewed Zhaofeng and Jin Baoer's schoolbags, and I mended the clothes."

Zhang Jingli said: "What's the use of that? You still plan to live by needlework? Who can't do sewing? You can do it better than you. Besides, it's strictly controlled now. Private business transactions are not allowed, breaking the law." of."

Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I remember, in Daoli, there was a mending stall next to our house, and your brother-in-law often gave her money."

Zhang Jingli couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister, the regime has changed. Now it is New China. Long live the proletariat and communism. Those old things from the past are not allowed. Now we pay attention to the collective, everything belongs to the collective, and what the collective gives to you is yours. If the group doesn’t give it to you, even if you pick it up, you have to hand it in, understand?”

Zhang Jingyi frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "No?"

Zhang Jingli nodded: "No. Look at the street now. Are there any shopkeepers, shopkeepers, and hawkers in the streets? The small ones are all going to be educated and reformed, and they have gone to collective labor. The big ones Now it’s all public-private joint ventures, and the leadership has to be handed over to the state, that is, the collective, understand? Now everything is collective, and you have to rely on labor to earn work points for food, what can you do?”

Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a while, tears streaming down his face, and after a while, he said, "I don't know anything."

Liu Jinrong and Zhang Guiying rushed in. Liu Jinrong saw Zhang Jingyi crying at a glance, and rushed to hug Zhang Jingyi: "Mom, don't cry, I won't go to school. I raise chickens at home, and I can feed them. I will feed them." Chickens, chickens have to lay eggs, and they can be sold for money, mom, we will have money."
