Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Ho family.

He Daqing chatted casually: "You said that this old Liu really went out to borrow money for his son's betrothal gift. Liu Guangqi is still grateful enough. What's his intention?"

"If I have no money and still have to get married, will you help me find a way?"

He Yuzhu looked up at He Daqing.

"That's for sure! Can my son compare with his son?"

"Then it's over."

He Yuzhu sighed: "All fathers in the world are the same."

"Stinky boy!"

He Daqing joked with a smile.

"I'm telling you, Dad. I've been thinking about the future development of our family these past two days."

"Isn't our family developing very well? What's there to think about?"

He Daqing was confused.

This topic also jumped too fast.

“Having a good life now does not mean a good life in the future.”

He Yuzhu said sternly: "It's been 55 years, but do you know that things are going to change outside."

"what?"

He Daqing asked nervously: "Are we going to fight again?"

"That's not the case. Do you still remember that in 53, our capital issued flour stamps?"

"I remember that."

Gao Xiaocui interjected: "I went to buy flour at that time, but they refused to sell it to me and said I didn't have a ticket. I came back to ask you. Fortunately, you came back with some in exchange, otherwise our family would not be able to eat flour."

"Yes. From now on, it will be normal to use tickets to buy things. Money is no longer useful."

He Yuzhu said that he took out all the tickets he had accumulated over the years.

"But fortunately, I have been prepared. We have a new baby in our family. Seeing that my brother is getting older and older, and there are more people, our life must be a little tighter than before. I got these in advance. If next year If it can still be used, we will use it directly. If it cannot, we will replace it with a new one as soon as possible."

"This won't work. This won't work."

He Daqing quickly refused: "How can your brother's rations cost you money? It's only the two of us who are responsible for the child."

"Yes, Zhuzi. Although our two families have never been separated, your father has told me a long time ago that what's yours is yours, and what's his is yours and your sister's and brother's. We have to hold a bowl of water evenly But you can’t spend your money to support your brother.”

Gao Xiaocui also conforms to the Tao.

He Yuzhu looked at the performance of the two of them and showed a happy smile.

In fact, he felt that He Daqing was really the right one to marry Gao Xiaocui.

In the past few years, the life of the old couple has been getting better and better, and He Daqing is not as irresponsible as before.

He even said that He Yuzhu should be considered more in everything.

He Yuzhu's filial piety over the years was not in vain.

"Life is getting tight, and everyone in our family has to work together to ensure the quality of life. They are not so divided. Let me tell you what I heard first."

He Yuzhu sat up straight and continued: "In the coming year, the biggest change in our country will be public-private partnership."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, in the future, all private enterprises, from a restaurant to a factory, will be owned by the state. When you work in the steel rolling mill now, you are working for Mr. Lou. But it will be different in the future. You are working for the state. What you eat is iron. rice bowl."

"That's a good thing!"

He Daqing's eyes lit up.

"The iron rice bowl is of course a good thing. But what is the reason for the country to introduce such a policy? It is to integrate the economy and consolidate all the money. So it is definitely not possible to have such freedom as now. Moreover, Director Lou handed over the steel rolling mill When they come out, the government will send a public factory director. As for whether that factory director is Lou Dongrenyi, we don’t know.”

He Yuzhu also has some worries in this regard.

He knew that in his previous life, the steel rolling mill was managed by Director Yang.

But many things have changed in this life.

What if it’s not Factory Director Yang?

"That's right. There will definitely be changes after the weather changes, so what should we do now?"

He Daqing asked sincerely.

"Listen to me. In addition to public-private partnerships, we will also implement vouchers to purchase daily necessities. Especially rice, oil, and noodles! These vouchers will be paid with wages. But they are not distributed casually. He wants Distribution will be rationed based on each person’s family situation.”

"Quantitative payment means, how much will he give us fixedly every month?"

"Correct."

He Yuzhu said: "For the two of us, I estimate it is a little more than others. Maybe we as employees make 27 pounds per month."

"Then our combined total is only 54 pounds?!"

He Daqing calculated in his head that the weight shared by each person in the family plus this little one would only be ten pounds and eight taels.

It seems like there really isn’t enough to eat.

"Yes. So what I mean is that food will definitely be the most important thing in the future. It will definitely take some time from the introduction of the policy to its full implementation. We must be prepared in advance."

"Store food?"

He Daqing asked.

"You work in the cafeteria, is this not difficult to do?"

He Yuzhu glanced at He Daqing.

"Yeah. While I'm using my money now, I can go shopping from above and buy some with my own money."

"Don't worry too much, the water will flow slowly."

He Yuzhu continued: "I heard about this policy two years ago, but I am not sure. I have also hoarded some food here. The problem of food shortage in the future will not have a great impact on us."

"You are really far-sighted!"

He Daqing praised excitedly.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. This is the second thing. The third thing is that we have to exchange money."

He Daqing and Gao Xiaocui looked at him with puzzled faces.

"We are using large denominations of money now, and wages are calculated in tens of thousands. But when the second set of RMB comes out, we will have to use yuan to calculate. To put it simply, ten thousand yuan is exchanged for one dollar."

"what?!"

He Daqing was very surprised.

He hasn't turned the corner yet.

One dollar couldn't even buy a handful of dirt for him.

"Also, it is said that ten thousand yuan is exchanged for one yuan. In fact, people who are in deep trouble here may not be able to exchange it. So what I want to say is that it is most cost-effective to exchange the money now for food. It is enough to use the ticket. , the money will not be of much use in the future. It is more cost-effective for us to have food than money."

"Then you mean we exchange all the money for food?"

"That doesn't have to be so extreme."

He Yuzhu asked: "Aunt Gao, how much money has my dad saved now?"

"There are [-] million."

"Yeah. I also have eight thousand."

"You're pretty good at saving, kid."

"You take half and I take half. We will use the money to store food, and we will use the remaining money to exchange for money."

He Yuzhu proposed a plan.

"Okay. Everything at home is up to you."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he quickly told Gao Xiaocui: "Take out all our family's money and let him arrange it."

"it is good."

Gao Xiaocui quickly took out the money without saying anything.

He Yuzhu held the financial power of the family, and he felt particularly at ease at that moment.
