Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 158, This is pretending to be confused (two chapters in one)

He didn't have any objection to his old lady's shameless collection of things from Mr. Fang's house.

For those who are not familiar with it.

Those who are familiar with it are still embarrassed to start!

The face is still needed.

While talking, Wang Qiuju slapped the elder brother: "Don't just eat it, what about the food for your father? Have you bought it?"

The eldest brother ate a mouthful of fat meat, and then shook his head: "The food in the food store is sold out, and they said they would have to wait for a few days. Xiao Le said that if you buy it, don't send it back, and ask dad and the others to come over. Anyway, didn't you buy sweet potatoes? less?"

Yang Xiaole also said beside him: "Mother, there is no food in the village now, do you know that?"

"Ah, what's going on?"

Wang Qiuju was surprised.

Then Yang Xiaole told the story.

Hearing what he said, Wang Qiuju thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the captain has already asked the commune? The food will be brought back in a few days. What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be good to just push it for a while? "

"Mother, you're thinking too much, look at the food supply in the city, don't you understand? In less than a week, this landmine will explode."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he continued to eat.

It's been a long time, it's time for a thunderstorm.

After all, the situation in the city is not invisible.

Seeing that the old lady still didn't understand, she shook her head: "Okay, don't worry about it, wait for a while, and then you will know. You can ask your elder brother about this. He met an old man the other day. What does the old man understand? mean."

Wang Qiuju looked at the boss suspiciously upon hearing this.

"what does it mean?"

"Ah for what?"

The elder brother was also at a loss for a while.

Yang Xiaole clicked his tongue, "Didn't you say that you met an old man when you bought sweet potatoes that day! What did he say?"

"Oh, you are talking about this! He is talking about the production of grain..."

Then the content was spoken.

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she was surprised and said, "Then..., what do you mean, our captain is fooling people? Is it impossible? Can newspapers fool people?"

Yang Xiaole shook her head and did not explain: "Okay, let's eat, wait a few days and see. Eat quickly, Xiaoli will finish eating the meat in a while."

Hearing this, Xiaoli looked aggrieved: "Brother, I have eaten everywhere! I only ate two pieces of meat, and I was eating tofu! Hmph..."

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju also smiled: "Your brother is teasing you!"

"Hmph, I won't play with you anymore."

Xiao Li pouted.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole stretched out her hand to tease her: "Then you give me back the candy, and I won't play with you anymore."

Seeing this scene, Wang Qiuju knew that her son must be hiding something private.

When Xiaoli heard this, she snorted and ignored him.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole laughed.

Fight with me, you are still a little tender.

But then Yang Xiaogang's words made several people stunned.

"By the way, mother, I went to the grain station today and saw that they posted an announcement saying that it was temporary. You can buy sweet potatoes with coarse grain coupons, and you can buy 3 catties of sweet potatoes with coarse grain coupons."

Wang Qiuju was very happy when she heard this.

"Really? Didn't we make money by buying so many sweet potatoes?"

Yang Xiaole was not too happy after listening.

Sweet potatoes, which are the staple food only in rural areas, used to be used as vegetables in the city, but now they have also become the staple food.

This is not a good thing.

It means that someone has also discovered the problem and made preparations in advance.

But the sweet potatoes in Kyoto have been harvested long ago, and the ones brought in are basically transferred from other places, and the sweet potatoes bought now have been frozen and cannot be stored, so they can only be bought and eaten now.

Then he said to his mother: "Mother, think about it, my father and I came here, you and your elder brother only have so much food, and sweet potatoes can only be bought with tickets. This is not a good thing."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju finally came to his senses.

"Yeah, so what should we do? Where did our family get so many food stamps!"

A pound of cornmeal is completely different from a pound of sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are digested after eating for a while.

Hearing his words, Yang Xiaole looked at his elder brother and gestured to him.

"Brother, I can speak now."

He was also waiting for this time.

Otherwise, it's too early, and I'm sure I'll be scolded again.

"you say!"

The eldest brother is afraid of being scolded, and Xiao Le is the only one in the family who will not be beaten for anything he does, even if he is still beaten.

Seeing the actions of the two brothers, Wang Qiuju felt strange for a while: "What are you two talking about?"

Yang Xiaole looked at his eldest brother and glared at him.

Then he said: "Mom, didn't I think that there are too many people at home, so I asked my elder brother to buy more sweet potatoes!"

After listening to it, Wang Qiuju asked strangely, "How much did you buy?"

"Three thousand catties!"

"How much? Three thousand catties? You are crazy! Why do you buy so much? It costs three cents a catty, so wouldn't it cost 90 yuan?"

Wang Qiuju was surprised, and then said: "I said that people in the compound always ask me, why do you buy so many sweet potatoes? Eat and buy now! Feelings, you bought so much!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole explained to her: "Mother, think about it, you said at the beginning that we came to eat sweet potatoes, this person can't get three catties of sweet potatoes a day, and he will be hungry after just eating this for a while. One person will lose a hundred catties a month, and seven people will lose seven hundred catties. When the new grain arrives in the spring, there will still be about five or six months, and three thousand catties will not be much."

Wang Qiuju did the math, and it felt right, but it didn't feel right again!

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother, anyway, we are doing it wrong, and we saved food stamps. By the way, how many Chinese cabbages did our family buy? It looks like a lot!"

"Is there a lot? I also feel that there are quite a lot, but Aunt Wang said that in previous years, she would buy casually, but this year, the purchase was actually restricted. One person only bought 25 catties."

Yang Xiaole pondered over it after listening.

25 catties, and it belongs to one person, and a family with a large population weighs several hundred catties, which sounds like a lot.

However, the storage of Chinese cabbage will lose nearly half of it. For such a long time in winter, most of them eat Chinese cabbage, and only a small amount of other vegetables can be bought.

In fact, counting it down, it’s only a few taels a day for one person.

A Chinese cabbage, the bigger one weighs seven or eight catties, and the smaller one weighs three or four catties, 25 catties, which is just a matter of a few Chinese cabbages.

There are quite a lot of cabbage in the compound, but the cabbage is big and only takes up space.

Then he didn't say anything more.

While eating, there was a knock on the door.

Several people stopped moving.

Wang Qiuju went over to open the door strangely, and saw an old lady in her fifties.

"Qiu Ju! It's so late for dinner!"

"Aunt Shen, come in quickly, it's cold outside. Isn't it late for me to get off work? I eat late."

Seeing this, the old lady came in with a smile.

Looking at the meat stewed in the stove, the old lady swallowed, and then asked with a smile: "Well, Qiu Ju, I was too embarrassed to come here, but now I can't help it!"

"It's okay, Aunt Shen, tell me what you want!"

Wang Qiuju said politely there.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, and asked the eldest brother in a strange low voice: "Brother, who is this, I don't think I've seen it before!"

Among the houses in the back cover, one is Mr. Liu who pulls coal, the other is Mrs. Yang, and there is a widow with three daughters.

Moreover, the back cover room is on both sides, the kitchen and bathroom are dismantled, and several houses are added.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaogang said in a low voice: "Oh, isn't there two additional houses built next to the side room of the main house? With the side room, a family moved in. The old lady brought her son, daughter-in-law, and three children. The old lady is Rural people, come and bring your son and daughter-in-law."

Yang Xiaole let out a soft sigh.

He knew that the house was built over there, but he didn't know who lived in it yet.

After finishing speaking, he asked him: "Is the room next to us still quiet?"

"No! There is probably only one room, so it's not easy to allocate it!"

While speaking, Wang Qiuju's hesitant voice came from over there: "Aunt Shen, how much do you want?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole whispered to Xiaoli beside her.

The other party said just now that they want sweet potatoes.

"I heard, didn't you buy a lot before? Just get me thirty catties, okay? When the goods arrive another day, I'll buy them and return them to you."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Xiaoli who was next to her spoke in a childish voice: "Mother, I need food stamps for sweet potatoes now."

After finishing speaking, I didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Shen was surprised when she heard the words: "Hey, sweet potatoes need food stamps now! I said, why are there no more for sale in the vegetable market now! Then... do you need food stamps when you buy them?"

Naturally, Wang Qiuju would not say that she wanted food stamps.

Shaking his head: "Don't buy it when you buy it."

"Then do you think it's possible? You lend me thirty catties, and I'll pay you back when I buy it some other day! Or I'll give you the money, anyway, you didn't spend the food stamps when you bought it."

When Yang Xiaole heard this, she pretended to be ignorant while pretending to understand!

Otherwise, the re-export will not be so fast.

After taking a bite of the meat, he said lightly to his old lady, "Mom, give it to Mrs. Shen, all of them are from the courtyard. But my father, elder sister, Xizi and the others will come over in a few days, and there is not enough food at home. Eat, you can lend it to the aunt, and let the aunt return the sweet potatoes in a few days."

I didn't use the food stamps when I bought them, but now I can't justify collecting food stamps.

It's better to borrow it.

The old lady was quite happy to hear the previous words.

But when he heard that it was borrowed, his face was a little ugly, but the words were just said by himself, so it was hard to say anything.

Wang Qiuju thought for a while, but agreed.

"That's okay, Aunt Shen, I'll ask Gangzi to get you some."

After speaking, he said to Yang Xiaogang: "Boss, go to Master Liu's house who pulls coal behind to get a steelyard, and get some sweet potatoes for my aunt."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaogang put down his job: "Hey, okay. I'll go right away."

After speaking, he got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, the old lady stopped the eldest brother: "Hey, forget it, I'll think of a way when I go back, how did I know that this sweet potato still needs food stamps!"

"This……"

This made Wang Qiuju a little embarrassed.

Finally, after thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, I'll sell you thirty catties! Gangzi, go get the scale!"

Hearing this, Gangzi opened the door curtain and walked out.

Now the old lady didn't stop her anymore.

Smiling and politely said: "Thank you, Qiu Ju, you also know that there is nothing I can do about it!"

"I see, ma'am, please sit down for a while."

Yang Xiaole saw that his old lady had agreed, so she didn't say anything.

Eating the food in the rice bowl.

As for the meat in the pot, he wasn't worried. Anyway, he was in the city, and it was not uncommon to have a meal of meat once in a while.

As far as my old lady is concerned, if you give her a pile of meat, she can give it to you for the New Year.

After waiting for a while, the eldest brother came in from the outside with snow on his head.

"Hey, here's a bag instead of a basket."

Seeing Yang Xiaogang going to weigh the basket, the old lady hurriedly took out the prepared snakeskin bag and handed it to him.

Seeing this, the eldest brother took the snakeskin bag and went to the back room, and took out the bag after a while.

"Auntie, there are 30 catties and 5 taels in total, and there must be 30 catties without the bag."

"Hey, good!"

Aunt Shen happily agreed, opened the bag and looked through it casually, and felt relieved when she saw that nothing was rotten.

He took out a dollar and handed it to Wang Qiuju.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju took the money and gave her a dime: "Ma'am, you paid for it for 3 cents when you bought it, and we didn't take any money from you!"

"Hi! That's what you said, thank you!"

After speaking, he carried the sweet potatoes and went out.

After the person left, he reset the curtain and closed the door again.

The temperature in the room is slightly better.

But it was still cold.

Everyone gathered around the stove again and continued to eat.

Yang Xiaole looked at her and said: "Mother, you have to take it easy later! Didn't you see it? The old lady did it on purpose, thinking that our family didn't know about the announcement made today! I didn't expect my brother to go The grain store."

Wang Qiuju thought for a while, "No way, I don't feel like it!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't bother to say any more, but said to her: "Mother, you just gave her ten catties of food coupons."

These words directly hit her heart.

Yes, this is equivalent to ten catties of food stamps!

Immediately felt distressed.

Seeing her expression, Yang Xiaole didn't say anything else, anyway, he didn't ask for food stamps when he bought it.

He didn't say anything, but the elder brother said:

"Mother, I really can't sell it like this in the future, otherwise, why are Dad and Xiao Le coming here to eat?"

Wang Qiuju thought for a while, then nodded: "I see, if someone comes to buy it later, they will say that there are too many people in the family, there is no ration, and there is not enough food."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

People need to grow, and there is no way to grow without experiencing things.

It can only be said that you will learn a lot from a pit.

The thirty catties of sweet potatoes wasn't too bad, since he had plenty of them anyway.

……

Next to the side room, in the newly built brick house, Mrs. Shen came back happily carrying sweet potatoes.

"Chunsheng, I bought sweet potatoes."

Shen Chunsheng was also very happy when he saw this: "Mother, how many catties of food stamps have been spent, should I pay more?"

"Hey, what food stamps! Three cents a catty, no food stamps."

Hearing this, the daughter-in-law next to him hesitated: "Mother, is this okay? They all belong to the same yard. If they know that sweet potatoes have received food stamps, how can they do it?"

Originally, when they heard that the sweet potatoes needed food stamps, the whole family thought about it. Anyway, the other party didn’t want food stamps when they bought it, so they wanted to discuss whether they could spend a little more money to buy some.

Or give some food stamps less.

I didn't expect my old lady to pay the original price at the original price.

Mrs. Shen's face became unhappy when she heard this: "They know they want tickets. If you are not in charge, you don't know that rice is expensive! You are talking about needles and brains all day long. They don't want money. They bought so many sweet potatoes. They don't want money." Food stamps, are they so willing to ask me for food stamps? I still don’t believe it, if the people in the compound know, they can’t say they’re taking advantage of money, right?”

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, the daughter-in-law didn't say anything more.

Just glanced at her husband and went to take care of the children.

Seeing this, Shen Chunsheng thought for a while and said: "Mother, forget it this time. They know that they need tickets in a large courtyard. Next time, we should either discuss whether it can be more expensive? Or buy more food stamps for them. No. Do it again."

"Are you panicking about burning too much money? Who am I doing this day for? Just for myself?"

Mrs. Shen said while wiping tears.

Seeing his old lady like this, Shen Chunsheng shook his head and said nothing more.

Pulled my daughter-in-law to the next room and muttered something there.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything else, she wiped away her tears, and put the sweet potatoes into the toilet box in the main room.

After thinking about eating, I will go get some more.

Go to the food store to buy more food stamps!
……

Yang Xiaole's family ate up the whole pot of meat, and even soaked the soup with rice for dinner.

Almost licked the plate.

Several people are full to eat.

While washing pots in the house, Wang Qiuju babbled: "I can't eat like this again in the future. Look at how much you eat for a meal. It's still all fine grains. No matter how big the family business is, it can't afford this!"

Yang Xiaole just ignored it.

Left ear goes in, right ear goes out.

You already have three or four hundred yuan, so why save so much money?
No, including the bottle at home, there must be a total of six or seven hundred.

After washing, it was getting late, and each of them went back to their own beds.

I am used to burning the kang, but I still feel comfortable sleeping on the kang, and I don't need to cover it with such a thick quilt, which makes people feel stuffy.

Lying on the bed, Yang Xiaole thought of the house next door, it would be best to rent it together, otherwise it would be inconvenient for another person to come.

Seeing that the eldest brother is already asleep, thinking about the four houses is still too eye-catching.

I didn't think about it any more.

Lying in the thick quilt, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he was called up just after dawn.Go out and shovel the snow in the alleys and compound.

Seeing that Yang Xiaole woke up, Yang Xiaogang said to him: "Sleep for a while, it's snowing in the alley, we have to get up and sweep the snow around our alley."

After speaking, he put on his clothes and went out.

"Brother, brother, I will go too."

Xiaoli's voice came from the main room, and she hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole simply woke up, she had never seen such a lively event before!

When I got up, my mother was making breakfast there.

After dinner, I have to go to work.

Although it was Sunday, several of them took turns off, and it was her turn to work overtime this Sunday.

It was still early at this time, and there were still two or three hours before the nine o'clock work time.

After coming out, Xiaoli followed the children in the courtyard to build a snowman there, and there were more than a dozen half-grown kids.

The snow is also [-] centimeters thick, and if it is deeper, it will reach the knees.

And it was still snowing in the sky.

The compound does not need to be managed.

With this group of boys playing, they can clean up the snow
When I came to the outside of the alley, I saw Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, Master Liu who pulls coal,...

The labor force at home has come out and is busy shoveling snow there.

While shoveling snow, chatting about homework.

Because people from other alleys also came out, this is to clear the snow out before going to work.

As for the continued snow, no one cares.

Seeing him coming out, Yang Xiaogang urged: "Okay, you go back, it's still snowing here!"

Yang Xiaole looked around, and saw Wang Jianjun wearing a padded jacket at the gate of the compound not far away, hard at shoveling snow.

After thinking about it, he smiled and walked over.

"Brother Wang, I'm busy!"

When Wang Jianjun heard the voice, he suddenly raised his head and saw that it was him, he was startled: "Why did you come here?"

After speaking, he pretended to shovel snow in the distance and attracted Yang Xiaole over.

"Oh, don't I live in the yard next door! I saw you, so I came over to have a look! No, Brother Wang, you also want to shovel snow?"

Wang Jianjun saw that people were far away, so he continued to ask in a low voice: "What are you doing? How bad it is for people to see!"

"Brother Wang, what are you afraid of? We haven't done anything wrong! Even if others know about the eggs, isn't it normal for the neighbors in this neighborhood to share? Who hasn't done this in this compound?"

Hearing what he said, Wang Jianjun naturally knew it too.

But the problem is that the situation in my own home is special!

He hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? Are you looking for my mother? It's snowing heavily today, and she's worried about the street, so she left early in the morning."

Yang Xiaole was taken aback when he heard this.

Is it so early?
At this time, cadres are still more responsible than later generations. Unless something happens, it is impossible to go to the unit before work time at nine o'clock in this snowy day.

Then he came back to his senses and said with a low laugh: "Brother Wang, we caught a wild boar in our hometown, and brought some suet from the countryside of our hometown. Do you want it? It's not much, just two catties."

Hearing this, Wang Jianjun licked his lips.

Don't even dare to look around.

Seeing him hesitate, Yang Xiaole did not urge him, and said with a smile: "Then brother Wang, you should do your work first, and come to me after thinking about it. Don't let others know!"

After speaking, he left with a smile.

After the people left, Wang Jianjun pondered over there.

"Jianjun, who is that?"

"Oh, the kid in the compound next door, I met him last time."

Wang Jianjun explained with a smile, and then continued to work.

After Yang Xiaole came back, he said hello, went back to the house, pushed the bicycle out, and said to his elder brother:

"Brother, I'll go and return the bicycle to Aunt Su."

This was also said to the people in the compound.

Yang Xiaogang didn't think much about it, and nodded: "That's fine, you go, come back early!"

"Hey, I see!"

After speaking, he rode his car and left.

Go to Director Sun and continue to grind.

Yesterday, it was about their household registration. Today, I'm going to talk about the number of temporary workers for my father.

There are busy people sweeping snow everywhere along the way. To be honest, people nowadays are quite responsible. According to the street office, it is all free labor.

When I came to the street office, the door on this side was ajar.

Yang Xiaole parked the car aside, then walked in with a whimper.

After entering, head straight to Director Sun's office.

At this time, there were many aunts and a few uncles sitting in her office.

I just heard Director Sun talking there: "Well, it's fine if there is no major incident. The two families there will let them come here, and the street will arrange for them to live in another place first. After the house is repaired, let them go back , if you don’t want to go back, you can just live in the original place. Sister Gao, I’ll leave this to you.”

One of the aunts nodded quickly: "Hey, don't worry, Director Sun, the arrangements must be made properly."

Director Sun nodded: "Well, what about the others! Is there any serious situation? The safety of the common people is on our shoulders. We must shoulder this responsibility so that we can live up to everyone's election."

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Director Sun was relieved.

"That's fine, as long as it's okay, everyone go to work first, let everyone try to get rid of the snow on the roof, so that this kind of thing won't happen again."

Seeing this, everyone got up and left.

Yang Xiaole took a look, and there was the director aunt of their neighborhood committee.

After the people left, he quietly came to the door again, and stretched his head to take a look.

When he saw his face, Director Sun also frowned, a little impatient: "I told you, your household registration will be handled for you as soon as possible, just go home and wait for the news."

Yang Xiaole hurriedly said: "Director Sun, don't get me wrong, I'm here to inquire about another matter."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Isn't the inverted room in our compound turned into a restaurant? My father was recommended by the compound to be a temporary worker. I would like to ask when this will be implemented."

Hearing this, Director Sun let out a soft voice: "Oh, what are you talking about, the water over there hasn't been picked up yet, maybe it will take three to five days, but your certificate has been done here, you can let him go first I’m here, but let’s talk about it first, I can only live in your house when I come, and it’s impossible to arrange another house for you.”

She was recommended by their compound, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Just go with the normal process.

It's been three months, and it's about the same.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was overjoyed for a while: "Hey, okay, then does my father need any procedures?"

"No need, just come over in two days."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the bookcase behind, rummaged there, and took out a piece of paper after a while.

"Here, take this and go to the city catering service company to get a seal, and then wait for comrades to go to work."

"Hey, okay, thank you Director Sun!"

Yang Xiaole took it over and looked at it, it was a proof, and there was father's information on it.

Upon seeing this, Director Sun quickly waved at him and sent him away: "Okay, take it. As for your household registration, the household registration section of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will handle it."

Yang Xiaole was overjoyed when she heard the words.

He didn't bother him about the user account anymore, thanked him, and left in a hurry.

Director Sun shook his head as he watched.

Thinking about making a phone call.

But think about it, this is not appropriate, there are so many people in the street with various procedures!I couldn't make this head start, so I finally let it go.

If Yang Xiaole knew what she was thinking, she would definitely stay there a little longer with a stern look on her face.

Talk to Director Sun about life.

After coming out, I went home happily according to my things.

Going back is naturally going back.

When I got home, the snow had been swept outside the door, and my mother and elder brother were sitting in the main room eating porridge.

Seeing him come back, he hurriedly urged: "Why are you going out again? Eat quickly."

After Yang Xiaole slapped the snow off his head, he hurriedly came out happily with a list.

"Mom, look, what is this?"

"what?"

Wang Qiuju took it strangely and looked at it.

Although I don't know too many words, I still know the name of the temporary worker and his man.

Surprised for a moment: "The proof of your father's work?"

"Yes"

Yang Xiaole filled a bowl of porridge with a fried dough stick and ate it.

While eating, he said, "I'll send a telegram to dad, asking him to bring Xi Zi over tomorrow. After breakfast, I'll go to the food company to get the stamp. From now on, dad will be a temporary worker."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju felt happy for a while.

It is a good thing to be able to reunite with the family.

"Okay, send a telegram to your sister and tell her not to run away to her hometown."

Yang Xiaole nodded and agreed.

Happily eating breakfast.

After dinner, Wang Qiuju cleaned all the pots and bowls before going to work.

And the eldest brother has to go to the factory to eat a good meal.

"Aren't you resting? Why are you still going to the factory?"

Hearing this, the eldest brother smiled: "Did you forget what date it is today? Today is the third date, the day when wages are paid. I have to go to the factory to collect wages!"

After speaking, he left with a smile.

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he suddenly realized.

Basically, the wages in the city are paid on the [-]rd.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, he was about to leave to see if the catering service company was at work.

If it was there, I would have knocked on the chapter directly.

Then wait for Dad to come over tomorrow, and go to the street office to get his temporary worker quota skills.

After explaining that Xiaoli was at home, he went out.

(End of this chapter)
