Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1233 Mutual assistance? Pre-type?
After Han Li changed the subject, those curious people finally paid attention.

If Yu Daqiang wants to get married now, he has the conditions given his job at the People's Fine Arts Printing Factory and he has his own separate room at home.

If his family spread the word, there would be plenty of unemployed young women in the city willing to marry him, and matchmakers would come to his house and break it down. He could also pick out beautiful women who were suitable for a family and a home among them.

But Yu Daqiang's situation was a bit special. One of his cousins ​​married a female educated youth who could not stand the hardship of working in the countryside and returned to the city due to illness.

After the two got married, life at home became more and more difficult. In the end, they were constantly quarreling, and the couple had a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.

If Yu Daqiang's cousin casually mentioned divorce today, his wife's brothers would beat him up the next day.

My cousin was beaten because of a quarrel between him and his wife. When his younger cousin found out, he wanted to help him regain his face, or at least ask his cousin's wife's family to give an explanation.

This kind of thing would be fine if it happened once or twice, but no one expected it to become a routine, which gave Yu Daqiang's uncles and aunts a headache when they tried to help.

The marriage situation of Yu Daqiang's cousin made him and his family exclude those young women who returned to the city from their thoughts. Yu Daqiang's candidates for blind dates and marriage must be girls who stayed in the city and had jobs.

However, the girls who were able to stay in the city to work either had unusually good family conditions or had outstanding personal abilities.

No matter which type of people they are, they basically won't consider ordinary workers like Yu Daqiang when they are looking for a partner or getting married. Occasionally, if someone introduces him to someone, Yu Daqiang will dislike that the other person is not good-looking.

In the past two or three years, many female educated youth who returned to the city have found jobs, but as people's conditions change, their vision also changes. When choosing blind dates or marriage partners, their requirements for the other party have also improved.

Especially those good-looking girls, they all hope to marry into a wealthy family.

Yu Daqiang's current situation is that those good-looking girls who have jobs look down on him, and he looks down on those girls with average looks, so he is stuck in this dilemma.

During this period, Han's mother also introduced Yu Daqiang to many candidates, but none of them worked out in the end for various reasons.

Han Li and Yu Daqiang grew up and went to school together, and their social circles were basically the same at that time.

Later, Han Li went to the countryside to join the production team, and Yu Daqiang stayed in Sijiucheng to work. Over the years, he met fewer girls in Sijiucheng than Yu Daqiang.

In recent years, Han Li has been busy with school and traveling abroad. In addition, he does not like to go out and socialize, so he basically has no time to expand his social circle.

This also caused the social circles of the two people to further widen. Even Han's mother couldn't handle Yu Daqiang's current situation, let alone someone like Han Li whose social circle was relatively narrow. So even if he wanted to introduce a partner to his childhood friend, he was powerless.

To be honest, Han Li did know some female classmates at Yan University who often came to attend classes.

Regardless of his appearance, there is no way those favored girls would be interested in Yu Daqiang, an ordinary worker who graduated from high school. If Han Li offered to be the introducer, he might end up being unpopular with both sides.

Therefore, regarding his childhood friend's current marriage situation, Han Li could only give verbal encouragement and guidance, as well as silent blessings in his heart.

Everyone talked about this topic, and the childhood friend next to him, Qian Guodong, told a story that caught Han Li's attention. When Qian Guodong had just finished junior high school, he did not continue to go to school because his father was injured at work and had to take over.

The conditions of their families in the factory are not very good, but recently they want to find a partner and buy big items such as bicycles and watches to show off. Many of them have started to do the "Limen" things that happened before the liberation.

But it is not exactly the same as the Limen system. It is a bit like a "mutual aid association" formed by various units, but it is not quite the same as a mutual aid association.

These people call this "Taihui". First, they select a "huitou" or "huishou". They have only two rules.

The first one requires everyone to be frugal, starting with banning smoking and drinking, and to supervise each other and not spend money indiscriminately. The money saved can be used in the second one.

The second one is "pooling money". Everyone puts their saved money together and uses the money to achieve mutual assistance among them. You can use the money to buy things or pay off debts.

Of course, these people’s salaries are similar, and there are certain requirements for the amount of money that each person contributes each month.

It’s not possible for me to save 20 dollars a month and you to save 5 dollars a month. In the end, we have to agree at the beginning how much each of us will contribute each month.

As the organizer and initiator, the "head of the meeting" does not have to pay any money in the first month, and the money raised for the first time must be used by him first.

When it came to the second month, the "head of the meeting" gathered everyone together. He did not need to pay back the last money all at once, but instead organized everyone to raise money again according to the share of the previous month.

Whoever needs the money the most this month will be given it to use. If no one really needs it, the "head of the club" will designate someone to use it.

When the third month comes, the same procedure will be followed as in the previous month. The "head of the club" will pay back a little money according to his own situation, and then give the money raised by everyone to the third person.

This situation will continue until the last one of them has used up the money they have collected.

At this time, the "leader of the association" would also calculate the date and pay back the money he owed. Generally, the "association" organized by these people would automatically disband.

But there are special circumstances, such as when one of them is in urgent need of some money, this situation may last a little longer.

These people's situation is under the banner of letting everyone save money, help each other, and gradually improve their lives, so neither the unit leaders nor the street office will care.

But now some people are raising money in the same way, but those who join are not required to quit smoking and drinking. This made Qian Guodong, who originally wanted to join, feel uneasy.

Han Li also began to have doubts when he heard this, because in his previous life he seemed to have read an article about some things that happened in Dong'ou and Lucheng, Zhejiang Province in the mid-1980s.

Although Han Li did not remember the detailed process, he remembered that after that incident, his superiors directly banned any form of fundraising rallies in any place.

That situation is also defined as F, Fa, and fundraising.
