Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 37 Letter 037 (Second update, please follow up)
Tang Zhitong received two letters and a receipt, a reply from Wan Xiangyang and a letter from Wang Jingwen. The receipt was the voucher for picking up the package.

After delivering the goods in the afternoon, Tang Zhitong sat in the business hall and read the letter.

Wang Jing's handwriting was beautiful, starting with "Brother Eucalyptus, Zhan Xin'an". She thanked Tang Zhitong for helping her in the past few days and explained that she did not have a fever and asked him to rest assured.

The next step is to think about things when seeing things, and think about my own childhood from the Tang family yard.

She told Tang Zhitong that when she was in Nanniwan, she had a small yard where she grew vegetables and raised chickens. She and her friends dug wild vegetables in the spring, caught cicadas in the summer, stalked stems in the autumn, and baked potatoes in the winter...

It can be seen between the lines that Wang Jingwen adapts to and agrees with rural life, and does not mean to look down on the Tang family for growing vegetables in the yard.

At the end of the letter, I wrote that I had sent the clothes with the letter, remember to check them, and ended with "Looking forward to hearing from you".

Wan Xiangyang's letter contained more complaints. First of all, he explained that it was because he was escorted to another place by train and was delayed by going back and forth, so he did not write the letter immediately.

Then he talked about his discomfort with the job. No matter whether it was the outbound or return trip, he had to put down and pick up the bag within the short time when the train arrived at the station.

As soon as the train started moving, the newly arrived parcels had to be sorted and repacked. Repeatedly, I couldn't even get a full night's sleep.

What disappoints Wan Xiangyang the most is that although he has been matched with guys, they are all old and outdated and have not had a chance to be used. The journey back and forth is uneventful.

The best way to comfort a friend is to be miserable, doubly miserable, and make him feel that there is someone more unsatisfactory than himself.

Tang Zhitong wrote a reply and described in detail the cold wave and sudden heavy rain a few days ago. He described how he, alone and weak, was soaked in the heavy rain.

On weekdays, I ride my bicycle in the scorching sun and sweat all over the streets delivering letters until I am exhausted.

He also expressed that he was very envious of Wang Xiangyang's job where he was protected from wind and rain.He also encouraged him in the letter to work hard and achieve good results so that he would not have to run out all day.

At the end of the letter, Tang Zhitong suggested that when Wan Xiangyang comes back to rest next time, he can come to him, and the two of them go hunting in the mountains together, and ask Wan Xiangyang to teach him the BIUBIUBIU skills then.

Tang Zhitong hadn't thought about how to reply to Wang Jingwen for the time being, so he simply mailed the letter to Wan Xiangyang first and waited until Wang Jingwen got home.

Fill in the address on the envelope, take out the postage, sign your name in the confirmation column of the package receipt, and give it all to Qian Zhongping.

The packages arrive in the car at noon, and they are all piled up in the business hall, waiting for someone to pick them up, and then rummaging through them and sorting them out.

"I really have your mail parcel, it was sewn with cloth." Qian Zhongping pulled out a cloth parcel from a pile of mail parcels.

Nowadays, when people mail things, they basically use straw or straw to turn into mats, and then sew them with needles and threads to wrap them. Paper boxes, wooden boxes, or cloth are rarely used.

"What are you sending? It's quite heavy." Qian Zhongping handed the package to Tang Zhitong and took back the receipt.

"It should be clothes. Didn't you wear a winter coat of mine a few days ago? Now it's sent back." Tang Zhitong weighed it and said.

"Don't you want to take it apart and take a look?" Qian Zhongping found a pair of scissors and motioned to Tang Zhitong.

"Thank you, Sister Qian. No, it's hard to take with you if you open it. Let's take it home and open it again." Tang Zhitong declined politely.

"What do you mean by that? When flowers bloom, Xiao Tang, you have to seize the opportunity. Don't wait until you regret it later." Qian Zhongping took back the scissors with some meaning. Talk to Tang Zhitong.

"I know, Sister Qian, thank you for reminding me. Today's letter has been delivered, I'm going home first." Tang Zhitong thanked Qian Zhongping, picked up the package, and went home.The cabbages in the yard have been harvested and piled together by Mrs. Tang, with two layers of grass fences covering the outside.

The ground has been leveled, and it looks much neater than before, but it's a little empty.

The rabbit has been completely handed over to the two younger sisters. Fengzhen and Fengzhi are also very responsible. They are all looking forward to having a meal of rabbit meat at the end of the year.

The first batch of rabbits were already bigger than Tang Zhitong's fist. Since Tang Zhitong secretly released some more female rabbits, I believe that after a while, the rabbit circle will have to expand again.

Fengzhi asked Tang Zhitong why he had a few more big rabbits, but Tang Zhitong fooled him by saying that he had bought new ones.

Tang Zhitong still brings hay to his home every day and passes by the neighborhood.

When Tang's mother and sister were not paying attention at home, they secretly took some out of the space.Add some reserves now to survive the winter, otherwise it would be unreasonable to bring grass home after it snows.

At the end of last month, the street where Tang's family lived was selected as a pilot for implementing food stamps, a month earlier than Tang Zhitong knew about it.

At the end of the month, the subdistrict issued food coupons based on the grain budget of each household. From this month on, the additional purchases were cancelled, and the street grain stores began to purchase food with coupons.

Food stamps are divided into horizontal stamps and vertical stamps. The horizontal stamps are printed with "face stamps" and weight, and are fine grain stamps, which are only used to buy noodles. The vertical stamps are printed with "food stamps" and weight, and can be used to buy rice and coarse grains.

This provision increases the financial burden on some poor users.

Generally, those who have no money at home will not only need whole grains for energy, but also eat more vegetables. After all, vegetables are cheaper than grains.

Grain stores now sell grain on a ticket basis, and the winter season is when vegetables are in short supply.

In the past, grain stores were not strict in their implementation. Those with a big belly could buy more whole grains during this season. However, after showing the ticket, they would not be able to buy more, and their stomachs would not be full.

Fortunately, there is still a road that is not blocked. You can use money to buy steamed buns or steamed bread from a steamed bun shop or restaurant. It is a little more expensive than buying food directly, but the advantage is that you don't need food stamps.

So starting from this month, some people who are good at calculating will exchange their own fine grain stamps for other people's coarse grain stamps, so that they can buy all the coarse grains at the grain store.

Compared with buying fine grains, you can save about 7 cents per catty by buying coarse grains, and then use the saved money to buy steamed buns (flour 0.184 yuan/catty, machine rice 0.148 yuan/catty, high-quality rice 0.187 yuan/catty, buckwheat noodles 0.13 yuan/jin, cornmeal 0.11 yuan/jin, fresh sweet potato 0.018 yuan/jin, sorghum rice 0.087 yuan/jin, millet 0.122 yuan/jin).

Tang Zhitong felt that if he still had flexible employment, the Tang family would probably have to go out and exchange fine-grain stamps with other families for coarse-grain stamps. But now that he is a deliveryman, his life is guaranteed, and even Tang's mother is now willing to eat tofu.

Serving tofu is a word that will only appear in the mouths of the elderly in the future. After the popularity of plastic bags, they will be used less.

What is end?Because you have to use a container to hold it, and most of the time you also need some slurry water, so you have to pay attention to maintaining balance.

Nowadays, tofu is not commonly seen. It is only sold in non-staple food stores in winter and around the time when vegetables are no longer available. At [-] cents per pound, the price is not cheap.

Dinner was served by Tang Zhitong, a pot of cabbage stewed with tofu, simply poured with some cooking oil, and it was slightly fragrant.

Tang Zhitong likes to cook, but he never washes the dishes. Most of the time at home, Fengzhen washes the dishes. Tonight, he used the pulp from the tofu dish, which has a good stain removal effect.
