Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 219 Enthusiastic Cousin

"Sister-in-law, Shu Ning, Shu Chen, Shu Ming, come and drink tea. There is no good tea in the village, only a little bit of tea powder. Please forgive me."

As soon as he arrived at the village headquarters and asked Yang Shuning and the others to sit down, Mr. Hong De didn't care about the village chief and the clerk. He immediately started rummaging through boxes and cabinets and started making tea for Yang Shuning and the others.

For Hong De Lao, the village chief and clerk were under his command, and he could usually give them face, but now it was obvious that Yang Shuning and the others were more important.

The village chief and clerk on the side were also embarrassed. Although they recognized Yang Shuming, they did not recognize Yang Shuning and the others. Looking at the clothes of Yang Shuning and the others, they really thought that Yang Shuning and the others had come down to inspect.His village party secretary was found to have problems, so he tried his best to flatter him.

"Village chief, this is my sister-in-law, this is my first cousin's child Yang Shuchen, and this is my second cousin's son Yang Shuning. They came back to their hometown to visit and pay homage to their ancestors. I will entertain them here. That’s it, you and the clerk can go and do your work.”

Mr. Hong De was also planning to flatter Mother Yang and ask Mother Yang and the others to help solve the family's work problems, but he did not dare to let the village chief and the others have this opportunity.What if there is only one spot and the village chief takes it away.

Moreover, Yang Shuning is his nephew who has never been to the fifth server. As the elder of Yang Shuning and the others, he should have done what his elders should do.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to ask my family to come back and cook lunch. We ate at my house at noon. We haven't seen her in more than 20 years, so we have to have a meal at my house no matter what."

Mr. Hong De didn't wait for Yang's mother to agree, so he went out directly and came back after a while.

"Hong De, don't be so polite and don't even give me a chance to speak. I also know it's not easy now. Just go to the state-owned restaurant in town for lunch. The food at home is limited, so we can't starve our family members. belly."

Of course Mother Yang knows the current state of rural people. Many people in rural areas have worked hard and exchanged centimeters for their annual rations. If Yang Shuning and the four of them eat this lunch, it might be a few days for Hong Delao's family. of food.

Even if Mr. Hong De is now the village party secretary, he will not be much better, unless he dares to take bribes.Of course, Mr. Hongde can borrow food, but the problem is that others must also have extra rations.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. It's just a meal. It's not a problem. Don't worry. We haven't seen each other for so many years. You and the children must give me a chance."

Mr. Hong De was so hospitable that he invited Mother Yang and the four of them to his house for dinner.

"This, well,"

What Yang's mother felt at this time was that the hospitality was hard to resist, but she had already made up her mind to leave some national food stamps and industrial vouchers for Hong Delao's family after finishing her business in her hometown.

When Yang Shuning and others returned to their hometown, they also prepared national food stamps, industrial rolls and cigarettes worth 200 yuan, in order to thank those who had taken care of them in the past, and to thank those who helped when moving the grave.The industrial papers at this time have been universally used across the country since they were issued. There is no need to worry that the industrial papers issued in the capital will be useless when they reach Zhijiang.As for national food stamps, they are even more precious, because not only are they universally available across the country, but they also contain oil.

The difference between national food stamps and local food stamps is not only the different scope of application, but also the fact that the national food stamps contain edible oil, while local food stamps are just vouchers for the same amount of grain products.Back then, food stamps and cooking oil stamps had different uses.During the planned economy, buying grain, cooking oil, cloth, meat, etc. required submitting corresponding special tickets.I won’t sell it to you just because I have money.So when do you need to have both money and food stamps and cooking oil stamps?A typical scenario is to purchase meal tickets before dining in the canteen of another unit.For example, if you go to school in a different place across the province, you must buy meal tickets before eating in the canteen. Not only must you provide the same amount of food vouchers, but you must also provide vouchers for the rationed cooking oil per capita monthly ration.However, if you use money and national food stamps to buy meal stamps, you do not need to submit a cooking oil certificate.

Therefore, many times, you can take national food stamps to the black market and exchange them for local food stamps and cooking oil stamps.In this way, there will be oil.

Practical oil, whether in cities or rural areas, is very precious.If oil is put in the food when treating guests, even if it is green vegetables, the guests will feel that the host is very welcoming.Moreover, having oil in the belly can also reduce food intake, which is equivalent to reducing food consumption out of thin air.

As for industrial coupons, they are even more valuable to rural people, even more precious than national food stamps.Because it is now 65, and the country has emerged from three years of natural disasters. Although most rural areas are not well-fed, they are still able to make ends meet.But although there is food in rural areas, industrial supplies cannot be purchased, because most of the time the village only issues a small amount of industrial supplies stamps, such as soap stamps, towel stamps and other daily necessities.

But if you want to buy additional industrial products that are not necessary for daily life, you have no choice but to risk your life and go to the black market to buy them with money.But the question is, do farmers have money?Yes, every year after the village government distributes the public grain, and then deducts the rations of the villagers, the remaining grain will be sold together. This is why farmers have money, but is it a lot of money?not much.It’s not even enough to pay for a child to go to high school.

Therefore, industrial papers are still very valuable in rural areas, and they are truly hard-earned money.

Mother Yang planned to give food stamps and industrial vouchers to the whole country. From a financial perspective, it was definitely a big loss.But it’s a human society.When you become prosperous, you must take care of your fellow villagers, and this is what you should do.

"Old woman, go and prepare lunch. There will be distinguished guests at home for lunch. Take out the bacon and old wine that are treasured at home. Be sure to entertain them well and let them eat and drink well. If there is anything missing, go and borrow it. , do you know?"

"Also, ask the boss to buy some things for going to the grave. I need more ghost coins and so on. You can also prepare some things for going to the grave."

After a while, Mr. Hongde's wife came back from the fields. Mr. Hongde immediately pulled her aside and explained.

"Master, who are they? You need to put so much effort into this. None of the cadres in the town have ever seen you so concerned."

Mr. Hong De's wife also became weird. She had never seen the head of the family care so much about others.

"Brother Zheng Guo's wife and children are back. It depends on whether our children will no longer have to dig in the fields for food. Besides, we are all members of the clan, so this is what I should do."

In order to let his wife worry about the lunch meal, Mr. Hong De directly stated his plan.
