Chapter 738

In fact, Zhou Bingkun didn't feel much sleepy, and he started to think about his future plans while lying on the bed.

In the Northeast, going to the mountains and the countryside is enough to take advantage of it.

Because of the construction corps and major farms in the Northeast, it is basically not necessary to go out of the province to go to the countryside in the Northeast.

Moreover, if you choose this option, you will be paid, just 32 yuan a month, which is about the same as the salary of most first-class workers.

The land in the Northeast is fertile. After the first year of state assistance, after the wasteland was opened up, the food is not bad.

The last option is to go to the countryside. Eating coarse grains is basically guaranteed. How much cash income you can have depends on luck. In most rural areas, the average annual income is tens of dollars, which is barely enough to buy daily necessities for a year. .

After taking a nap, Zhou Bingkun went out again.

I don't need to go to school, I don't have a job, and I don't have much entertainment at home. It's normal to have no TV at home in 69, but the old Zhou's family doesn't even have a radio.

It's no wonder that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong gather a few people every day to hide in the old Zhou's house and peek at the forbidden books.

After reading it, several people had a heated discussion.

In the first three years of the special period, the three children of the old Zhou family did not go out to participate in any activities, and basically lived like this.

Zhou Bingkun was originally at home, but because he didn't like reading, he didn't discuss it. He just listened to it when other people discussed it.

Although Zhou Rong didn't come back today, Hao Dongmei always came to find Zhou Bingyi.

Not wanting to listen to the excitement at home, Zhou Bingkun went out dressed neatly again.

Walking on the sandy road outside, the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, and the cold wind is blowing. If there is nothing to do, it is very normal to choose not to go out.

This time Zhou Bingkun went out to find Zheng Juan.

Zheng Juan is the unlucky daughter-in-law of the unlucky Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun's life was miserable, and Zheng Juan's life was even worse than Zhou Bingkun's.

Zhou Bingkun is already planning to go to the countryside. Before he leaves, he can ignore other things, and he must change Zheng Juan's tragic fate in the early stage.

At this time, 'Zhou Bingkun' certainly didn't know Zheng Juan.

I can only rely on my own understanding of the plot, go to Taiping Hutong where Zheng Juan lives to find out where Zheng Juan's family lives, and then consider the next step.

The houses in the optical film are already bad enough. They were originally temporary dwellings built by outsiders who came to make a living due to the war.

When I built the house, I didn’t think about permanent residence, so most of the residents in the optical film have one room, one and a half rooms, and the two rooms in Zhou Bingkun’s house are already considered large in size.

This is because Zhou Zhigang is the only son in the family, and he wanted to take over his parents from his hometown in Shandong, so he built a two-room house.

But the houses in Taiping Hutong are worse than those on the optical film.

Most of the people living in Daping Hutong are unemployed and unregistered.

Each house is basically one room, plus half a small kitchen.

An alley is 800 meters long, with a width of three to four meters, and a narrow area of ​​just over one meter.

The reason why the hutongs are narrow is that the hutongs are occupied by the residents in the hutongs.

There are piles of dirty snow on both sides of the road, and the loess road formed by natural trampling is also one foot deep, one foot shallow, and rough with ditches.

Although Taiping Hutong is also under the street management of optical film, Zhou Bingkun had never been here before.

Taiping Hutong belongs to the place where filmmakers avoid it when they see it.

Without a registered permanent residence, there is no food ration, and without a job, there is no fixed income. Residents in the alleys need to be busy for food and clothing and survival.

So there are almost no people in the alley. After walking around the alley twice, I saw someone who was going out: "Brother, can I ask you something?"

"Hey...brother, what do you think?"

"I remember that there is a shop in your alley that sells candied haws. I want to buy some bunches of candied haws. Where is their house?"

"Their house is over there." After pointing in the direction, the elder brother continued: "You can go to their house and ask, but probably there is none. At this point, Aunt Zheng should be selling popsicles and candied haws at the entrance of the movie theater."

Zhou Bingkun looked in the direction pointed by his elder brother, and saw that Zheng Juan's house was guarded by General Tie.

But this is enough, the purpose of Zhou Bingkun's coming here today is to recognize the family.

Zhou Bingkun knew that Aunt Zheng was selling popsicles and candied haws at the entrance of the cinema.

After exiting Taiping Hutong, I walked to the movie theater and arrived at the entrance of the movie theater.

I saw an old woman in her 60s leading a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and the girl was pulling a five or six-year-old boy at the entrance of the cinema.

Zheng Juan's family was able to sell popsicles and candied haws at the entrance of the movie theater, and they were not driven away. They were really taken care of.

"A bunch of candied haws and a cream popsicle."

Now that everyone is here, Zhou Bingkun will also take care of Mrs. Zheng's business.

Zheng Juan handed the things to Zhou Bingkun, and then said: "The candied haws are five cents, and the cream popsicles are five cents, a total of ten cents."

At only [-] or [-] years old, Zheng Juan is already pretty enough, she is a more beautiful woman than Zhou Rong.

Wearing two braids, wearing a big blue padded jacket, dark trousers, and a scarf, her rustic attire did not affect Zheng Juan's gentle temperament.

After shopping, Zhou Bingkun still had [-] cents.

Seeing the posters of tunnel warfare hanging in the movie theater, Zhou Bingkun's nostalgic plot was immediately aroused.

I bought a movie ticket for [-] cents, and I still have a while to leave.

Zhou Bingkun walked back to the Zheng family's cart and chatted with the Zheng family of three.

I was afraid that Mrs. Zheng would think that Zhou Bingkun was a street scammer who came to harass Zheng Juan, so she didn't talk to Zheng Juan much.

Zhou Bingkun's main thing is to chat with Mrs. Zheng's family, chatting about some nonsense.

After the movie started, Zhou Bingkun watched the tunnel war again, and the classics are classics.

I have watched it many times, and the plot is already very clear, and I still think it is very good to watch again.

There is heating in the cinema, and eating candied haws and popsicles is still very comfortable.

After coming out of the cinema, it was getting late, and after taking care of the Zheng family, Zhou Bingkun went home.

After going back, it was almost time for dinner. The whole family was there except Zhou Bingkun, and even Zhou Rong came back.

Li Suhua said dissatisfiedly: "Bingkun, where did you go this afternoon, you're leaving soon, why are you still so homeless?"

People are leaving, and it will not be easy to meet in the future. Of course, Li Suhua hopes that Zhou Bingkun can accompany him more.

Compared to Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong is so partial.

Li Suhua's partiality for the good boys Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong is really not worth mentioning.When a mother is normal, she can still treat her three children equally.

"Isn't this going to the countryside? It will be difficult to go back to the city in the future. I went out for a stroll and left more memories of Jichun for myself."

Zhou Bingkun walked to the stove, warmed his hands, looked at Li Suhua and replied.

Ignoring Zhou Rong, Zhou Zhigang glared at him.

It is understandable that Zhou Rong is dissatisfied with Zhou Bingkun, because Zhou Bingkun exposed her plan to find Feng Huacheng.

Zhou Zhigang was probably still angry and needed to vent, so of course he chose to let Zhou Bingkun get angry: "You are going to leave, why are you running around outside, don't you know how to spend more time with your mother at home?"

Zhou Zhigang is such a double standard with his children. Zhou Rong ran out before noon, and it was all right not to go home for dinner. Zhou Bingkun was wrong to go out for a stroll in the afternoon.

"Bingkun, let's not go to the Corps, nor to the farm. Our family is not short of ten yuan a month. We are near Jichun, just find a village and go to the countryside." Li Suhua said with a smile I burst into tears.

There are only five people in the family. The husband and two sons have to leave themselves. If they want to come back to visit relatives, it will take at least two years to come back. It will be really uncomfortable.

The construction corps was originally paid 32 yuan, but the corps had no food and could only eat in the cafeteria. A strong boy always had to eat 15 to [-] yuan a month to buy some daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste. Cigarettes, drinks and other expenses.

Most people can save ten yuan a month, and those with poor conditions will send the money home. Li Suhua calculated the ten yuan salary in this way.

"Okay, it's near Jichun." Zhou Bingkun didn't have to worry about where he was anymore, Li Suhua made arrangements for him.

...

Because Li Suhua hopes that the whole family will stay at home and reunite.For the next two days, Zhou Bingkun did not go out.

I stayed at home and the family recalled the past together, starting with Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua in their hometown in Shandong.

After the two got married, in order to escape the war and find a way out, they came to Jichun with more than a dozen oceans.

How did the couple settle down in Jichun?

The old Zhou's house was built with usury loans.

Because our party liberated the Northeast, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, those who lent usury, fled, and caught them.

The old Zhou's family took advantage of the usury loan, and the creditors disappeared, so of course there was no need to repay it.

It laid the foundation for the old Zhou family to become a family with good optical film conditions.

The old Zhou's family can also have money to support Zhou Bingyi's education to the third year of senior high school, Zhou Rong to the first year of senior high school, and Zhou Bingkun to junior high school, so as to support the three children in the family to go to school.

I didn't continue reading, but also because the school was closed, not because Lao Zhou's family couldn't afford it.

On the third day, the whole family arrived at Jichun Railway Station to send Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Bingyi off to Chongqing, to the Corps.

When I arrived at the railway station, the platform was crowded with relatives and friends who were going to the countryside and seeing them off.

Those who wear uniforms go to the countryside, and those who wear military uniforms go to the Corps.

"Suhua, I will leave the family to you. Zhou Rong, I have to take care of your mother at home." Zhou Zhigang reluctantly boarded the train, and finally instructed.

After watching Zhou Zhigang's train leave, Li Suhua couldn't help crying again.

"Mom, don't feel too bad. Eldest brother will leave soon. If he sees you feeling so uncomfortable, he should feel bad too."

Li Suhua's other things are pretty good, but it's too easy to cry.

"Zhou Rong, take good care of your mother at home. Bingkun, if you go to the countryside to be close to home, you should find more opportunities to come back and visit your mother more often, and write to contact often."

After waiting for a short time, Zhou Bingyi got on the train and left Jichun waving his hands.

Unable to bear it, Li Suhua shed tears again.

Zhou Rong comforted Li Suhua, but Zhou Bingkun didn't need to worry too much.

A daughter who can act like a baby is still more caring than a boy. When Zhou Rong is not acting like a demon, she looks like a human being.

Zhou Bingkun is also a person who has raised children and daughters. He knows that it is normal for parents to have such a daughter.

After returning home, Zhou Rong could still know that Li Suhua was in a bad mood, so she took care of all the cooking for today.

Zhou Rong was a caring daughter at home, and she behaved well for two days. Li Suhua's sadness eased a little, and on the surface it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Zhou Bingkun was finally able to go out. This time, Zhou Bingkun's net worth was much higher.

I also signed in some things in the past few days, and now there are three yuan and seventy-two cents in total, rice, white flour, peanut oil, and bacon.

It's not that Zhou Bingkun was reluctant to take out the things he signed in.

It's just that Zhou Bingkun, a person without pocket money, took out the things and really couldn't explain the source.

After going out, it is necessary to come to the cinema every day to see Zheng Juan's family.

It's still the old routine, candied haws, popsicles, movies, a set of three.

After coming here for a few days in a row, it can be regarded as an acquaintance (regular customer) relationship with the Zheng family.

"Young man, your family's conditions are very good, you can often come to the cinema to watch movies." Aunt Zheng boasted.

"What's the matter, I came from an ordinary worker's family. Isn't this going to the countryside? When I go to the countryside, the movies, candied haws, and popsicles are not easy to watch or eat." Zhou Bingkun replied.

Aunt Zheng nodded and replied: "Yes, there are quite a lot of people who have come to the cinema recently, except for those who are dating, it is you children who are going to the countryside."

"Mother, there are two children in your family, can they stay in the city?"

The Zheng family is considered to be an upper-class family in Ping'an Hutong, and they have registered permanent residence in Jichun City.

There are food books, non-staple food books, and various receipts, which are equivalent to a lot of money.

Of course, enjoy the benefits, but also pay the price.

The same is true for the Zheng family. There can only be one child left in the family.

"Our family is the same, and we can always keep one of them. According to the policy, my daughter is going to the countryside, but Juan'er is worried about us, so she didn't go."

The consequence of not responding to the government's policy to go to the countryside is to cancel the food ration, stay in the city, and not arrange work.

"Didn't you go to the street to respond to the situation in your family?"

Zheng Juan's younger brother is blind, and Aunt Zheng is over 60 years old. If Zheng Juan goes to the countryside, the remaining two will take up the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and it will be difficult to survive.

"The street is already taking care of our family. Juan'er can stay. No one reminds me. The street is taking care of us. Seeing our family's difficulties, the street will give some of the odd jobs to our family. It's enough. Take care of us, I really can’t bother the government anymore.”

It has only been a few days since Zhou Bingkun regained his memory, and there is nothing to do in the streets. It is impossible to solve the Zheng family's problem through government channels.

After chatting about other things, Zhou Bingkun went home. When he got home, he saw Aunt Qiao came to Zhou's house again. Aunt Qiao and Li Suhua were like plastic sisters.

"Then I'm leaving. You can discuss it yourself. The matter of going to the countryside needs to be settled quickly." Aunt Qiao's family still came to talk about the matter of going to the countryside.

"Bingkun, your Aunt Qiao came here again today to urge you to go to the countryside. Things can't go on. Mom wants you to stay at home for a few more days, but you can't. Let's go to the street tomorrow and choose a Lijichun for you. Go to the nearby suburbs and rural areas. You can’t run outside all the time tomorrow. Why are you like your sister, staying away from home all day! "

"Mom, Zhou Rong has been going out these two days?"
