Siheyuan: debt repayment is a matter of course

"It would be nice if there were fried chicken and Coke." Lin Xiangdong murmured to himself.

Just have fried rice with eggs!

You can also have two steamed buns.

Coarse grain steamed buns are also acceptable.

……

Unable to bear the hunger, Lin Xiangdong picked up a thermos and an enamel mug, and at least had a drink of water first.

After drinking a glass of water from an enamel jar, Lin Xiangdong was not too hungry.

I just waited until dawn to borrow some money and tickets from Yi Zhonghai.

Those who have no money or tickets can’t even go to the factory cafeteria to eat.

It's also because the system is not strong enough. Isn't a space and a few tons of food at the beginning not a basic operation?

Lying on the kang and unable to fall asleep, Lin Xiangdong was thinking wildly.

As time goes by, the energy of the system is gradually restored.

[92%...93%...94%...]

Before dawn, the system finally recovered its energy.

As energy is restored, the system turns on.

【Ding……】

Lin Xiangdong was refreshed.

Chapter 2 There is something about this system

[The debt asking system has been activated! 】

[Binding location-siheyuan, did not check in today. 】

[The novice gift pack has been distributed, please check the host carefully. 】

The electronically synthesized voice that suddenly sounded in his mind was like the sound of nature to Lin Xiangdong.

"Debt system?" Lin Xiangdong had a strange expression on his face.

Get the novice gift pack first.

[Portable space ([-] cubic meters), lifespan (ten years)]

Immediately, Lin Xiangdong's eyes lit up. Is there room?This is getting better.

Close your eyes, concentrate your mental awareness, and immediately sense a portable space.

The space with a length, width, and height of ten meters is empty, and it can store inanimate objects, as well as objects with a life index lower than ten.

Eggs, Chinese cabbage, green vegetables, sweet potatoes, radishes... all have a life index below ten.

For chickens, ducks, geese, etc., the life index is around ten.

For pigs, cattle and sheep, etc., the life index far exceeds ten points.

Pills that can increase life expectancy by ten years are also good things.

The system first made Lin Xiangdong ten years younger, and now gave him a elixir that prolongs his life by ten years. With this calculation, Lin Xiangdong would live another 20 years.

Although I suffered in this famine era, it is good to live another 20 years.

The Lifespan Pill was in the portable space, Lin Xiangdong took it out and ate it in one bite.

As expected of a life-enhancing elixir, it melts in the mouth without even tasting it.

I didn't feel the increase in life span, but I wasn't hungry anymore.

"Are you sure this is not Bigu Pill?"

Because the system has been bound to the courtyard, you have to be in the courtyard every day to check in.

"Punch in!" Lin Xiangdong said silently in his heart.

[Punch card successfully, IOU *2. 】

The two IOUs also appeared in the portable space, and I took them out to read.

The first one was that Qin Huairu owed Lin Xiangdong three yuan and two catties of food stamps.

1960 August [-]th, leap June [-]th, Gengzi year, Jiashen month, Dingmao day, Qinhuai Ru owes Lin Xiangdong...

It has Qin Huairu's signature and fingerprints.

"There's something wrong with this system." Lin Xiangdong smiled.

The second IOU was that Xu Damao owed Lin Xiangdong 20 yuan and five catties of meat tickets.

With the signature and fingerprint of the debtor, there is no fear of non-repayment.

In addition, the system also has a penalty mechanism.

For example, Lin Xiangdong asked Qin Huairu for the debt with the IOU, and Qin Huairu would be punished if he did not pay it back within 24 hours.

If Qin Huairu tore up the IOU, the punishment would be even more severe.

"System, what's the punishment?"

The system did not give an answer, which was a bit rigid and not humane at all.

Looking at the two IOUs in his hand, Lin Xiangdong was wondering who to ask for the debt first.

Originally, he planned to ask Yi Zhonghai to borrow some money and food coupons, but now there is no need.

Ask others to borrow money and tickets, and you owe favors.

As far as the original drama is concerned, Yi Zhonghai is quite hypocritical and likes to kidnap morals. It would be bad if he owed others favors.

Now, with IOUs in hand, there is no need to worry about money and food coupons, and there are meat coupons. In addition, both Qin Huairu and Xu Damao owe Lin Xiangdong favors.

"The two IOUs add up, which is 23 yuan, two catties of food stamps and five catties of meat stamps. It will be no problem to pay wages next month." Lin Xiangdong thought to himself.

Although there is a famine now, the food in the capital is still guaranteed, and Lin Xiangdong is the big brother of the workers, so there is no need to panic.

As long as it is an urban household registration, there will be a quota every month.

At present, men with household registration in the capital are given [-] catties of coarse grains and [-] grams of meat, plus a little cooking oil per month, and women have [-] catties of coarse grains, [-] grams of meat, and a little cooking oil per month.

The ration of workers should be more.

Considering the composition and personal circumstances, if Lin Xiangdong is an eight-generation farmhand, an orphan, and his father is a martyr, the ration should be more appropriate.

In the factory, apprentices and regular workers, as well as leaders, have different rations.

Currently, Lin Xiangdong's monthly ration is 350 catties of coarse grains, [-] catties of fine grains, [-] grams of meat, and [-] grams of cooking oil.

There is too little oil and water, and there are no non-staple foods, and 35 catties of grain are not enough to eat.

As for taking the money to the Pigeon Market to exchange for food stamps, or to buy food directly, there are risks. If one is not good, the job will be lost.

It is said that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. However, with Lin Xiangdong's current ration and salary, it is difficult to have enough food.

Although he is only an apprentice fitter, it is also manual work.

If there is a wife and children, relying on Lin Xiangdong's ration and salary alone, at most he will not starve to death.

Lin Xiangdong has already calculated the dozen or so households in the courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane, most of them are hungry every day.

Even Silly Zhu can't get enough to eat occasionally, but this is because he supports Jia's family.

It will be much better to wait until next year, though.

"The wages of fitter apprentices are too low, and they need to become regulars as soon as possible." Lin Xiangdong thought to himself.

The salary of a first-level fitter is 27 yuan, which is much higher than that of an apprentice fitter.

And with a few more dollars a month, life will be much easier.

Although in this era of planned economy, you can't buy things if you have money but no tickets, but is money useless?Not really.

There are some people who deposit some tickets every month in exchange for money.

Just like the deaf old lady, because she is a household with five guarantees, Yi Zhonghai and his wife still take care of her, but they have saved some tickets and exchange them for money almost every month.

If you are brave, you can go to the pigeon market, as long as you have money, you can buy things, but because you don't need a ticket, the price is expensive.

There is one thing to say, the prices in this era are really cheap.

Sixty-four cents for a catty of pork, fifty cents for a catty of eggs, ten cents for a catty of flour, seven cents for a catty of Chinese cabbage, and three cents for a catty of stick noodles.

……

At dawn, the non-laying rooster of Xu Damao's house in the backyard began to crow.

Xu Damao is a projectionist. He often goes to the countryside to show movies for fellow villagers.

Two months ago, Xu Damao went to the countryside to show a movie and asked for a rooster. He was not willing to eat it, so he raised it first, planning to eat it after the Chinese New Year.

Intermediate Court.

Early in the morning, Qin Huairu with a big belly got up to make breakfast.

Qin Huairu is not yet 30 years old, and she is a widow at a young age, which is also pitiful.

Before marrying into the Jia family, Qin Huairu was the village flower of the Qin family village, and her looks were not low.

Now, Qin Huairu's pretty appearance has attracted some lsps.

As far as silly Zhu is concerned, he also has some thoughts about Qin Huairu in his heart.

Speaking of which, Qin Huairu's life was also hard, she married in the city because she wanted to live a better life, but her man died short-lived, and her mother-in-law was lazy and mean.

Silly Zhu helped Jia's family a lot, but Jia Zhang didn't have a good word when she put down the bowl to eat. Of course, she was not stupid, she only talked at home, but never yelled outside.

Shazhu didn't help Jia's family secretly, that is to say, if Jia Zhang accepted Shazhu's help and said that Shazhu was not, the spitting stars of the neighbors would drown her.

Even if everyone knows Jia Zhang's character, as long as it is not exposed in front of everyone's eyes, it will be fine.

As for the Jia family's two widows and two children, it will be difficult for them to have at least three children in a few months.

I steamed two steamed buns and a bran cake, and cooked a small pot of sweet potato porridge.

Qin Huairu herself only has a cornbread and half a bran cake, and Jia Zhang's is the same as her. As for Banggen (Jia Geng) and Xiaodang (Jia Dang), both are sweet potato porridge.

Wotou is made of coarse grains, which can irritate the throat, not to mention bran cakes, sticks and Xiaodang can't be eaten.

When Qin Huairu finished the breakfast, Jia Zhangshi got up, and then dressed Banggen and Xiaodang.

Looking at her mother-in-law, Qin Huairu felt sad for a while. She thought that she would live a good life if she married in the city, but she didn't expect Jia Dongxu to be short-lived, and Jia Zhang's family is lazy.

Others' mothers-in-law can still go out to do odd jobs, such as pasting matchboxes, and Jia Zhang stays at home all day.

And Jia Zhang will also pretend to wear soles all day long, but she spends at least a few days or even half a month on a single sole.

The conditions of Jia's family were not very good, the pillars were gone, and Jia Zhang's family was lazy, which made Qin Huairu want to cry.

If the conditions of the Jia family were good, they wouldn't be looking for Qin Huairu.

In this day and age, people from cities looking for rural people are either in poor conditions, disabled, or old bachelors.

Jia Zhang is a rural person, and he still has a rural household registration.

Qin Huairu also has a rural hukou, but she can change to an urban hukou if she works in a factory.

Although Qin Huairu is beautiful, she can't be eaten with beauty.

You know, there is no commodity food for rural household registration.

As long as Jia Dongxu can find a better one in the city, Jia Zhang will not let Jia Dongxu marry Qin Huairu.

In the original play, Qin Jingru was young and beautiful, and Xu Damao didn't want to marry after he fell asleep, but wanted to marry Yu Haitang, which is very realistic.

Jia Dongxu had an accident in the factory, and the factory gave him a pension, part of which was used, and the rest was collected by Jia Zhang.

If no one helped the Jia family, the Jia family might really starve to death.

After all, Qin Huairu hasn't changed her urban hukou yet, so she doesn't have a fixed amount.

Jia Zhang did not quantify either.

It can be said that the Jia family is not quantified now.
