The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 60 Try hard to upgrade

In reality, people like Qin Huairu have work-related injury subsidies to support their minor children, or a little bit of labor union subsidies.In the play, Qin Huairu doesn't have these good things. She doesn't get a promotion or a subsidy.

In 65, the membership fee was 0.5% of salary, 0.5% of cultural and educational expenses, and apprentices only paid 5 cents; next year, it will be changed to 1 cents per person per month, and apprentices will be exempted from paying; then the payment will be suspended, and it will not be restored until the 70s .

The income from workers' cultural palaces, clubs, film screening teams, etc. is also a source of income for the union.Most of the union's expenses are administrative expenses, about 30% of which are used to relieve workers, including unemployed workers. During the three-year period, this ratio exceeded 50% in many cases.

Wu Ming took a puff of cigarette, "Well, we need to work harder, it's only about 10 yuan short of one level."

"It's better to say it out. You see, there are eighth-level workers in our courtyard, and seven-level workers can only be second uncles. In some places below, the highest level of workers in the entire special area is level 7."

Wu Ming said proudly, "In terms of this, our rolling mill has ten or twenty eighth-level workers in all types of work, which is considered the best factory. Of course, it can't be compared with those important military factories. There are one or two hundred eighth-level workers in one factory.”

"Who says it's not, let's work hard to upgrade."

Wu Ming took two puffs of his cigarette, "I'm a bit hungry and panicked. Let's not talk anymore, I'll go and see if the meal is ready." At this time, except for Zhonghua and other cigarettes, there are no filters.After the mass production of cigarette holders began in the 70s and became popular in the 80s, some old smokers were not used to it and would deliberately pinch off the cigarette holder and smoke it directly.

"I've been standing for a long time, and I'm going back to the house."

The rain has stopped early, and most of the rain in summer is like this. It comes and goes quickly.

Li Ming ate late for lunch, he was full of oil and water, and he wasn't hungry yet, but he was about to start cooking.

Enter the house and close the door.

In the small world, there is no rice cooker, and rice is steamed in the old way.

To eat alone, the rice does not need to be steamed too much. Li Ming cooks the rice in a pot with a small firewood stove.

You need to stir the bottom of the pot with a spatula, otherwise the rice will clump to the bottom of the pot, and it will be mushy.

The rice is half-cooked, a bit like raw rice.He scooped up the rice with a colander made of a dustpan and put it in a wooden rice bucket.

Li Ming put the wooden rice bucket in the cauldron and steamed it slowly.

If the rice soup is too thick due to the lack of water when cooking the rice, you have to use chopsticks to poke a few holes in the wooden rice bucket for ventilation.

Otherwise, the water vapor will not go up in the rice bucket, and after cooking for half a day, the water vapor under the rice bucket will be too much and the rice will be mushy, and the rice on the top will still be half-cooked without heat.

The rice was steamed in a big pot, and Li Ming cooked in the small firewood stove.

Winter melon soup, cucumber, and a steamed fish are the most fish in the world.

The shrimps and crabs in the river had no meat, so Li Ming ignored them.The smaller turtle didn't move it, he wanted to catch it sustainably.

In the future, he will go to the south to grow tea trees and fruit trees, and go to the seaside to get big crabs and prawns. The more Li Ming thinks about it, the more things will happen.

It was raining heavily this evening, so he guessed that no one would take the shade to chat, and he didn't know if Sha Zhu had started a blind date.

After eating and packing up, he picked up the magazine and sat on the recliner to read and digest. In fact, for most people, sitting after eating is better than taking a walk.

Qin Huairu came earlier tonight.

On the small square table are hot winter melon soup, steamed fish, and patted cucumbers, all of which are leftovers from dinner.

Li Ming picked up a piece of cucumber to eat, and asked casually, "Are you going to queue at the grain store tomorrow morning?"

"The food at home can last for two days, so don't worry. I'm going to buy some stick noodles tomorrow, and I'll buy flour when the grain store has good flour." Qin Huairu said while eating, "I used to queue up because I was called Banggen. That row, I do it myself when it’s cold.”

"Then it's BangGiao's turn, and you're not here, and BangGiao has no money and food, what should I do?"

Qin Huairu asked suspiciously, "Let the person in the back buy first, one by one, you haven't been in line, have you?"

"Just chatting." Li Ming had never been in line to buy food.

Qin Huairu took a sip of the soup, "Why don't you eat fish?"

"I'm very full, just eat some cucumbers. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for me to watch you eat." Li Ming asked, "Has there been any new news from the courtyard these two days?"

"Nothing happened in the past two days, except that you were drinking at the second uncle's house last night." Qin Huairu said, "By the way, you also have food, and you don't eat stick noodles, so I will exchange stick noodles with you. "

Li Ming said nonchalantly, "I'll give you whatever you want. If my woman is still hungry, then I've failed too much."

"It's better to change it, otherwise someone will spread gossip." Qin Huairu reminded.

"Well, that's what I said to the outside world. Let's settle a small account in private." Li Ming said, "Actually, I don't like steamed buns either. What I like to eat is rice."

Qin Huairu pursed her lips, "You are an elder born with a good life."

"Then what are you?"

"The old man will order the girl. If the weather is fine tomorrow, I will help you clean up the house."

"I don't have anything to wash here." Li Ming looked at the belongings in the house.

Qin Huairu gave the man a white look, "Tonight's sheets."

"Would you dare to wash the bed sheets in the yard later? You know exactly what you do to the bed sheets every time."

"Really, I use a bucket to soak the water first."

Li Ming laughed and said, "With you, I bought several sheets and two extra mats."

"Where did you get so many votes?"

Li Ming replied, "The ticket sellers near the vegetable market all recognize me, and I don't dare to buy from them now. I'm afraid they will drag me into trouble if they get caught."

Qin Huairu said softly: "I was worried that you bought too many tickets. The speculators in the next courtyard seem to have been sentenced."

"It's only been more than 20 days, it's pretty fast. I have a lot of tickets on me now, so I don't need to buy them. I will go to the west of the city to find someone for next month's tickets." Li Ming said again, "Don't worry about me. Come on, let me take care of myself." Check to see if you've lost weight."

The belly is soft and fluffy,
The back is smooth and clean.

. . .

. . .

Qin Huairu went back after resting for a while, she went back a bit early tonight.

She said that she was not in a hurry to buy food, but it was better to be early if possible. There would definitely be a queue tomorrow, and the sun would get hotter at noon in summer.

On Sunday, at three or four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, many people in the city began to take action, either those who were short of food or those who didn't want to line up to bask in the sun.People basically go to bed early these days, and getting up early is also acceptable.

The staff of the grain store are also used to it. On such special days, they will open their doors earlier, usually at 8:[-] am, but today they will open at [-]:[-] am.The service of the grain store is considered considerate, and for the orphans, widows, old, weak, sick and disabled, they will organize food deliveries from time to time.

Of course, there is no shortage of people with eyes higher than the top.There are many such people in first-class units such as grain stations and grain stores.

Li Ming got up, concealed the door of the room, and went out to have breakfast.

He already told Qin Huairu last night that he is not at home today, so she can do whatever he wants.

On the way to Lou Xiao'e's small courtyard, Li Ming saw a long queue in the alley where the grain store was located. There were horseshoes, small stools, and shoulder poles. The experience was so rich that it made people feel distressed.

Open the door and enter the house, and use wood to light a fire to heat hot water.

The current coal shop has special people chopping firewood, which is used by residents to ignite coal pellets.People who have switched to briquettes do not need to buy firewood.

Li Ming was reading in the small courtyard, drinking the water he brought, and waiting for Lou Xiao'e.
