The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 368 A man is a boy until he dies

Li Ming helped his bicycle into the yard, and the bicycle clanged when going up and down the steps.

He did it on purpose, to announce his return to the people in the courtyard.

While it's still early, anyone who needs to find him should hurry up.

Sure enough, Yan Bugui, who was caught out, called out to him, "Xiao Ming, you're back."

Li Ming purposely shouted loudly: "Third Master, haven't you rested yet?"

The Jia family in the middle courtyard heard the sound, and stood by the door to listen to the movement outside.

"Listen to the radio at home, never rest so early."

Li Ming waited for Yan Bugui's next words.

Yan Bugui spoke slowly, "Next week, our courtyard will organize an assessment of your Aunt Zhang's study and thinking. Director Wang from the street office will also come to participate in person."

"Are you free at home tomorrow and Sunday? The meaning of the uncle, let's discuss together what form the assessment should use."

Li Ming shied away and said, "Third Master, you can discuss it with the First and Second Masters. It may snow heavily tonight. I guess I have to go to the countryside to check the greenhouse tomorrow."

Yan Bugui persuaded: "It doesn't take a whole day to check, right? You came up with the idea, and you are the one who came up with the stuff. When the results are about to come out, everyone can't leave you alone."

"Then tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night, is that okay?" Li Ming thought that Lou Xiao'e would be with her elder sister tomorrow, and the two of them might go shopping in the street. He happened to be free, so it would be nice to join in the excitement in the courtyard.

"Okay, then it's settled! There's nothing else, I'll go back to the house first."

"It's cold and windy, I went back too, it's still warm at home."

"See you later." "See you soon!"

The two went back to their respective houses.

With this movement, most people in the outer courtyard, front courtyard, and middle courtyard also knew that he was back.

Qin Huairu naturally knew it too.

When Li Ming was reading a book at night, Qin Huairu came to his door.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and rolled into the bed in a tacit understanding.

. . .

Why bother to talk about the middle...

. . .

"Why are you talking to a child?"

"A man is a teenager until he dies, and he is a true hero if he is infatuated."

"Hey, you just like to play tricks, and you have a set of principles."

"Hey, is there anything new in the compound recently?"

"Nothing happened recently."

Qin Huairu suddenly thought, "There is one thing that has something to do with you. People from the street came to the compound to promote a few births."

"I, who is about to be of marriageable age, are not at home. Isn't their work busy for nothing?" Li Ming said nonsense.

Qin Huairu added: "Few births are not only about marriage, but also about having children! Male piercing, female piercing, ring release, and induced labor are also to be publicized."

"Is there no one going to have a vasectomy?"

Qin Huairu thought for a while, "We have never heard of such a person in our area."

Proportionally speaking, out of 10000 people, only 10 or 8 men are mobilized for male barracks every year; there are even fewer women, 3 or 4 every year.

After publicity, the number of release rings has increased significantly, and there can be 70-80 people a year.

In addition to the reasons for publicity and encouragement, many families are indeed afraid of having children. The couple earns money. If there are too many children, they will really not be able to support them!
It can be said that the vast majority of families in this era are poor because they have too many children!
It is very clear if calculated according to per capita income and expenditure.

63年到78年，城市里的每年平均工资始终在600-700元之间小幅波动，也就是一个月50多元。

In fact, most people can only get 40 yuan a month, which is averaged to more than 50 yuan.

Calculated by 50 yuan, both husband and wife have jobs, and the monthly family income is only 100 yuan.
The insurance fee for the elderly, sick and disabled is 12-15 yuan per month.
100 yuan can only support the minimum living allowance of a family of 7 people.

As long as the husband and wife have 5 children living together, their lives are the same as the orphans, the sick and the disabled with no income.

If there are two couples with two children, the average per capita is 2 yuan, and the family's expenditure can be significantly relieved.

Not to mention the rural income. Most people in that era felt that their families were poor. That was the real feeling. Not being poor was a special case!

Even if it is changed to 2023, a couple earning an average salary will die if they raise five or six children.In such a family, the children will feel that they were poor when they grow up!

What's more, at this time, there are many people who have seven or eight children of husband and wife.

In this way, not to mention individual small families can't stand it, the whole society can't stand it.

That's why the higher-ups began to consider controlling population growth.

Li Ming joked: "It seems that the people in our area are all backward elements, and they don't respond to the call at all."

"If you cut it down, you won't be able to give birth. If you want to give birth in the future, you can recover. Who knows what will happen in the future? And if you have to have an operation, everyone will still be afraid. Even if it's your turn, you don't want to?"

"It's never my turn to do this." Li Ming thought to himself, what he was worried about now was how to get a woman pregnant.

Qin Huairu teased: "You are now a cadre at the deputy department level, and you may be asked to take the lead when the time comes."

"I said, why do you bitch ask such a question?"

"I'm just curious." Qin Huairu felt that what he heard was the truth.

Seeing Qin Huairu's complacency, Li Ming couldn't understand why there is such a comparison between women.

"We don't talk about her when we are happy together."

Qin Huairu replied briskly, "Got it! My lord. The temperature will drop and snow will fall in the next few days, so I won't come here."

Regarding this, Li Ming was noncommittal, "The snow has caused me a lot of troubles. Fortunately, my subordinates are quite good, otherwise I would be too busy."

"It snowed a few times before and nothing happened, so it should be okay this time, right?"

"Many people think the same as you. It's not good to be careless! I have several greenhouses. If one of them accidentally freezes the vegetables, it will be a loss of thousands of dollars."

Qin Huairu admired: "Others earn money without much money, you earn money as easily as eating and drinking water."

"I'm using my brain. It's just for the stick, otherwise I can try my best to spend money for you."

Qin Huairu smiled coquettishly: "Bang Geng has saved several dollars with me, and he plans to save money to buy a radio."

"Are you fooling him?"

"I saw that Sha Zhu bought a radio, and he offered to save money."

Li Ming laughed and said, "Then he has to save it until the year of the monkey." 68 is the year of the monkey, only 2 years, not too long ago.

Qin Huairu knew it well, "The child's idea won't last long. He just got the red envelope from you during the Chinese New Year, and he still has money to spend for the time being."

Thinking of Li Ming's kindness to her three children.

Qin Huairu may have forgotten what she said to go back early, and it was quite late.
