Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

In the 50s, people’s thinking was still relatively conservative. If it came to personal “conduct issues”, no matter whether the person was a man or a woman, they would be dealt with ruthlessly.

The minor punishment is losing your job, and the serious punishment is going to jail. No matter how strong your background is, or whether you are an ordinary citizen or the child of a high-ranking official, as long as you commit hooliganism, you will be investigated and dealt with strictly and quickly.

After walking for a while, I heard someone shouting at the entrance of the alley.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers. Beijing Daily, the Second Session of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, and the "Great Leap Forward" movement was launched across the country.

The voice was high and low, with ups and downs and a strong sense of rhythm. Zhang Minghui was a little surprised to hear such a hawking voice. It was the first time he heard such a newspaper seller.

It can be regarded as gaining some knowledge.

"Newspaper seller, come here and give me one." Zhang Minghui shouted loudly towards the entrance of the alley.

In just over 10 seconds, a boy about the same age as Zhang Minghui rushed out from the entrance of the alley.

The newspaper in his hand was twisted into a roll, sticking out more than a foot high. There were sweat stains on his forehead. He walked in front of Zhang Minghui with a big bag on his back.

"Comrade, is it you who wants the newspaper?"

"Hello, can you give me a copy of Beijing Daily? How much is it?"

"Four cents, here you go." He took out a new newspaper from his back pocket.

After handing the money to the boy, the boy's loud voice rang out again in the alley. "Newspapers for sale. Newspapers for sale. Beijing Daily."

After opening the newspaper, I saw the headline on the front page clearly stating that the Second Session of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held and the "Great Leap Forward" movement was launched across the country.

Seeing this, Zhang Minghui frowned slightly.

"Hey, this is the beginning of the Great Leap Forward."

“The days ahead are going to be difficult.”

This is the general trend and the strategic policy formulated by the country. Zhang Minghui, who had read fan fiction before, specially looked up some information.

During this period, high targets, blind command, false reporting, exaggeration and "communist style" were prevalent.

Zhang Minghui had no way to deal with this. He was just an ordinary person, living in an ordinary space that could neither produce food nor had any high technology.

It is impossible to have any impact on the current society.

Besides, national decisions are not something that a common citizen like you can oppose.

However, Zhang Minghui is somewhat worried. With the adjustment of policies, this disaster-stricken country has once again faced difficult times.

During this period, the country suffered severe natural disasters, including droughts and floods.

These natural disasters directly affected crop yields and exacerbated the problem of food shortage.

Thinking of this, Zhang Minghui felt a little heavy in his heart. It seemed that he could not go shopping today.

More supplies need to be prepared. Zhang Minghui also learned about this and knew that this matter would last for three years, and there would be countless casualties in those three years.

The most important thing is food shortage. Even if you want to buy food at a high price, no one will sell it to you.

Thinking of this, Zhang Minghui made a secret decision.

See if I can do my part for these ordinary people. After all, since we have come to this world, we should do what we can.

When the time comes, we will ask the system to see if it has any good ideas to help the country.

how to say!

Zhang Minghui never thought that he was very kind, but he believed that he could make some contributions to the country within his ability, which would comfort his conscience.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Minghui decided to go to the vegetable market first to see what he could buy now.

Zhang Minghui went to Chaonei Vegetable Market, which is a place frequented by people in the hospital.

Arriving at the vegetable market and looking at the crowded crowd, Zhang Minghui, who was visiting the vegetable market for the first time, also felt a lot of pressure.

In this age of planned life, queuing is a common sight in major vegetable markets.

There were long queues in front of each stall, stretching as far as the eye could see. Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Minghui immediately felt a little desperate. Why was it so difficult to buy something?

From time to time, you can see women walking out after shopping. They didn’t buy much, but their smiles were extremely bright.

Alas, Zhang Minghui gave up the idea of ​​buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

The scene here is really shocking. I have to queue for at least two or three hours, and I can’t buy much. I have to think of other ways.

It would be great if there was a sign-in system for supplies, so we wouldn't have to worry about all these tedious things.

"Master System, do you have any material rewards?"

"It's okay if it's a little less, so I don't have to worry so much." Zhang Minghui asked hopefully.

When I saw that the system had not responded, I knew I was overthinking.

After thinking for a long time, I came up with a simple solution. I would go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, buy back the materials that do not require tickets, and stockpile some, otherwise there will be a comprehensive restriction starting next year.

Then consider the issue of food and meat.

In this way, Zhang Minghui first went to the bank to withdraw all the money, and then began to sweep the major supply and marketing cooperatives.

I bought matches, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, thermos, light bulbs, needles and thread, tea, and various types of alcohol. I bought everything that didn't require a ticket.

After getting everything ready, Zhang Minghui felt more at ease. The most important thing now was the food coupons and meat coupons.

Hey, don’t just say Zhang Minghui is short of it, the whole country is short of this thing now.

Meat is easy to get. After the body transformation is completed, you can go to the suburban woods to catch some wild animals, and then you can refine oil.

The most important thing is food coupons, which you have to exchange on the black market. You need a lot of food coupons, but it is impossible to exchange them all at once. You can only save some every month!

When Zhang Minghui returned home, it was already past seven in the evening and it was getting dark.

The public security in Beijing is not that good now.

The most important thing is that there are street lights in some places, but it is pitch black in some places.

You never know where a few masked men might pop out from, so you'd better be more careful. Zhang Minghui doesn't want to die young.

After walking all day, I was so tired that my bones felt weak. I got home and fell asleep on the bed.

I was still thinking about it before going to bed. Oh, I was too impatient and immature!

I don’t know if it was because I was tired or what, but I slept so soundly until I was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Brother Minghui, Brother Minghui, wake up."

After opening his eyes, Zhang Minghui yawned involuntarily.

"Wait a minute, I heard you."

After getting dressed, he went downstairs to stretch and stretch his muscles before walking towards the living room.

I opened the door and saw Yu Shui standing outside.

"Brother Minghui, you are so lazy. It's almost noon and you haven't gotten up yet."

"It's the rain. I went out for exercise yesterday and I'm a little tired. Come inside quickly!"

"I won't go in. My brother asked me to come and tell you to come to my house for lunch. He's off today, so he wants to have a good drink with you."

"My brother was wrong last time. This drink is his apology."
