Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

(It was a false alarm, it’s okay, it’s over)

At that time, I was living in school, and my monthly living expenses were 10 yuan (including pocket money). The school cafeteria has a table for eight people, and the standard is set in advance. There is no meat or meat dishes, only vegetarian dishes. The monthly food cost is about six yuan (except Sundays).

After the start of WG, especially after the start of WD, from about 1967 to 1969, the supply of agricultural products was still guaranteed by vouchers, but the situation of industrial products was miserable. Soap, toothpaste, dry batteries, light bulbs, etc. were out of stock, and you could not buy them even if you had money. . Later, tickets were given to industries on a per-capita basis to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand.

I have a photo taken more than 50 years ago with some of my classmates. My classmates all came from working-class families. In the photo, they were all wearing patched clothes and their shoes were very worn. Fifty years later, several of our classmates got together again. I suggested taking another photo in the same position as fifty years ago. Although everyone is old, they are doing well now. Looking back on the past, everyone is A sigh.

In the 63s, basic wages were very low. The average wage for workers was only thirty or forty yuan. At that time, there were regional differences, and there were differences among provinces, cities, and even regions. When my uncle started working as an apprentice in 16, his salary was only 15 yuan, and he was still in a provincial capital. At that time, cadres were based on administrative levels. The salary for administrative level 116 and county and regiment level was only 22 yuan. At that time, my mother was a primary school principal and the salary for administrative level 54 was yuan.

Prices were very low in the 1s. A salary of 1 yuan was enough to support a family of five for a month. Of course, material living standards were still relatively low at that time. Everything had to be supplied on a ticket basis, so the purchasing power of money was still sufficient. , one yuan is enough for a family to eat for more than a day. At that time, rice cost 5 cents 1 cents 2-8 cents 1 cents to buy a pound, and breakfast was cents in the morning.

2 cents for a fried dough stick, 2 cents for a bowl of soymilk, 0,67 yuan for pork per pound, 5 cents for a lot of vegetables, 0,48 yuan for peach cakes in the store, 1 cents for 12 Fruit candies, milk candies are more expensive at 3 cents each, pineapple popsicles are 3 cents each, mung beans are 4 cents, and milk candies are more expensive.

5 cents.

At that time, my uncle's apprenticeship salary of 16 yuan was to buy meal tickets at the workplace. He also had to pay a few yuan to his mother and grandmother for three meals a day. When it came to me, I started working in the 19s, and I was still very early. Under the age of 13, all studies were completed after work. In the 15s, the salary of an apprentice was 0,25 yuan. Eating in the cafeteria cost 2-1 yuan a month. A large portion of braised pork cost yuan. , cents can buy a big bowl of broth. Therefore, it can be said that yuan was more valuable both in the s and the s. There was not much difference in the price-to-income ratio over the past two decades.

60年代去街上食品或生活用品，一元钱可买比较好的大米5斤左右；可买普通布一尺左右；可买青菜 5斤左右；可买猪肉1斤半；可买棒冰33根

60年代去饭店吃饭，一份糖醋里脊5毛到7毛左右；烧饼3分一个，油条3分一根，混沌2毛一碗。

The salary in the 60s was more than 5 yuan. Calculated based on purchasing power, a movie movie at that time cost about 30 cents. Now the minimum is 600 yuan, which is about times that of the time. The salary at that time was about the same as today. Yuan or so.

Of course, this is a salary calculated based on movies with relatively large price differences. It is not that high based on daily necessities, but it is equivalent to four to five thousand yuan today.
