Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

I learned that Li Jicai was rescued.

The next morning, the main leaders of the factory came to express their condolences, bringing various gifts. Even the senior leaders of the department sent representatives to express their condolences after hearing about this.

At noon, Li Xuewen came with a lunch box to replace Li Xuewu. Li's mother said she didn't want to go back at all, so they had to borrow a bed from the hospital for her to rest there. Li Xuewu came out of the hospital feeling a little dazed. He almost killed his father this time, and he began to doubt whether it was right to send those books to the department. He couldn't tell the secret in his heart to his family, and he urgently needed an outlet for his emotions.

He came to Chen Xueru's house in a daze, and saw Chen Xueru sitting on the sofa reading a book. He rushed over and burst into tears in her arms: "Xueru, my dad almost died!"

Chen Xueru was stunned, not knowing what had happened. But looking at Li Xuewu crying like a baby in her arms, she just reached out and gently stroked his head: "Be good, everything will be fine! Sister is with you, if you want to cry, just cry as much as you can!"

Li Xuewu, who was mentally relaxed, vented his emotions to his heart's content and finally fell asleep in Chen Xueru's arms.

It was not until the middle of the night that Li Xuewu woke up and regained some energy. He told Chen Xueru the whole story. Chen Xueru also shed tears with him, hugged him quietly, and comforted him softly.

Li Jicai stayed in the intensive care unit of the hospital for more than ten days and was transferred to the general ward after his health improved a little.

I stayed in the hospital for three months before being discharged and going home.

During this period, the two brothers worked during the day and took turns to take care of the child at night. They were both very depressed. Fortunately, the master was still in the research group and had not returned yet, so Li Xuewu was only doing some simple work.

Because Li Jicai could no longer continue to work, the steel mill processed the procedures for his retirement due to illness, and also gave him a consolation payment of 1,500 yuan and a certificate of merit.

Taking into account the family's future living pressure, the factory promoted Li Xuewen to a higher level and made Li Xuewu a regular employee ahead of schedule. As for Li Jicai's work indicators, they were also retained for him. If Li Xuexiu is willing to work in the steel rolling mill in the future, he can take his job quota.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the year 59.

A lot of things happened during this period. Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e back to the courtyard. Because Li Xuewu's father was injured, Xu Damao, as Li Xuewu's friend, of course could not set up a banquet to celebrate his marriage. He simply distributed some melon seeds and candies to each household as a token of his appreciation.

The second thing was that Sha Zhu's blind date failed as expected. The girl introduced to him by Xu Huizhen was a nice person and had a decent job, but her appearance was average. She was looking after his sister Qin, and he saw that Xu Damao had brought back a beautiful wife. After talking to her for a few days, Sha Zhu rejected her.

Another very important thing is that Chen Xueru is pregnant. Just over a month after Li's father was injured, she was diagnosed with pregnancy. This should be the result of the hard work of the two during those days. The birth of a new life brought a ray of sunshine to Li Xuewu's heart.

Now Chen Xueru has entered into a fake marriage with the son of her old housekeeper and is resting at home to take care of her pregnancy.

Since the beginning of spring, Mr. Li has been able to slowly go down to the fields and into the yard to bask in the sun.

The weather in the north became abnormal, and there was little rain until the summer harvest season.

The drought has begun to show its initial signs.

The consequence of the drought is that food prices in the market have skyrocketed.

In the next 60 years, drought continued in the north, while heavy rains and floods were frequent in the south. Within 5 months, 11 typhoons made landfall on the southeastern coast. According to statistics, the total area affected by disasters in the country was as high as 6546 million hectares. The affected area in 61 was 6175 million hectares. Heavy rains fell on the Haihe and Yellow River plains. The water situation in parts of Hebei and Shandong was unprecedented in a century. The Songhua River basin in the northeast was also flooded, and 7 hectares of farmland were completely destroyed and 180 million hectares of farmland were submerged.

The direct consequence of natural disasters is insufficient food supply. The capital relies on grain transfers from other places. Since 1959, it has become difficult to transfer grain, and the amount has become less and less. At one time, there was an emergency situation where the stored grain was not enough to meet the needs of six days.

The food ration varies according to age, from 3 jin for newborns, 6 jin for children, 8 jin for children, to 21 jin for adults. In addition, it is slightly increased according to different identities, such as college and high school students, government officials, special workers, etc. Among them, flour accounts for 20% of the total ration, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest is coarse grains - corn flour, dried sweet potatoes, sometimes sorghum flour, fresh sweet potatoes and other grains.

Vegetables were also supplied with tickets, with each person being provided 2 liang of fresh vegetables per day, but the variety was not limited. You could choose any of radish, potato, cabbage, etc., but potatoes were the most common.

Don’t even think about eggs. From 60 to 61, eggs were no longer supplied to ordinary residents and were only provided to some people with special needs.

The meat coupons were reduced to three per person per month, each providing 1-3 taels of fresh meat, and later reduced to two. In June 61, the meat supply was stopped and not resumed until the end of the year.

The above requirements require urban household registration. Those without household registration can only buy high-priced grain on the black market.

而黑市上粮票的价格涨到了3元一斤，全国通用粮票涨到了4元1斤，面粉票5元1斤，要知道现在一线的工人80%以上月薪为三四十元。

Li Xuewu's family all have city hukou, and with previous preparations and preferential treatment from the factory, their food rations can be guaranteed, although the amount of meat, eggs, and vegetables is greatly reduced.

He once thought about going hunting in the mountains or fishing in Houhai, but when he got there, he found that there were more people than fish, and the wild animals in the mountains had long since run away.

In Yard No. 95, the family that is truly in difficulty is probably Jia Dongxu's. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are both senior workers, with a monthly salary of 99 and over respectively. If they don't have enough food, they can buy it at a high price without breaking the bank. Yan Fugui is too calculating, he had saved up a lot before, and this is just the right time to use it. Sha Zhu is a cook, and no matter how big the famine is, a cook will never starve. Xu Damao's family is supported by the rich woman Lou Xiao'e.

Among the five people in the Jia family, only Jia Dongxu had a ration of food. The rent that Jia Zhangshi used to collect in the countryside could no longer be collected. This man was also a greedy person. He would complain all day long if he was not full. When there was no food, they could only buy it on the black market. The family was very frugal, and Jia Dongxu had lost weight visibly. Now he was almost skin and bones.

Although the Jia family was in difficulty and Li Xuewu had an affair with Qin Huairu, he had no intention of helping the Jia family. Every time he went to the countryside, in addition to sending some food to Qin Jingru's family, he also sent some to Qin Huairu's parents' home. Anyway, he did not treat Qin Huairu badly. As for how to support the Jia family, that was Jia Dongxu's business.

Time has come to the year 62. Although the natural disaster has passed, various supplies in the market are still extremely tight, and the damaged economy cannot recover all at once.

That day, after getting off work, Li Xuewu still carried the bag and walked towards Qianmen Street.

I pushed open the door and walked in. A little girl staggered over and ran over: "Dad, Dad!"

"Hey, my dear daughter, have you been good at home today? Have you made trouble for your mother?"

"No, Qingqing is very good." The little girl had a smile on her pink face.

This is the daughter of Li Xuewu and Chen Xueru. She took Chen Xueru's surname and was named Chen Yuqing.

"You haven't been behaving yourself for the whole day, running around everywhere!" Chen Xueru came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
