Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's absolutely true."

On this side, since she found out she was pregnant, especially when the weather was hot, Guo Huaian would go out alone on Sundays, either to go fishing or to do other things.

I don't sit idle at home either. In addition to doing some other chores, I keep the door open and watch whether anyone goes up to the roof at any time. After all, there are small fish, shrimps, and dried wild vegetables drying on the roof.

If someone falls down again just for that little bit of food, there needs to be an explanation, right?

As for big fish, because it's been hot recently, I didn't make any smoked or cured fish, but basically ate all of it.

As for other meats like pork, beef, or mutton, even though they are bought from time to time, in most cases, they are basically made into jerky.

Or maybe they should buy some and pickle it. Otherwise, how could the reputation of their delicious food spread out?

But even so, not everyone can get benefits from their own family. Instead, they will do what they did before.

The funniest thing is that since the two families saw that their family and Uncle Zhang could catch fish every week, the men from both families, or the slightly older children, would also go to the river to fish or catch small fish.

The only thing is the river nearby, which is a bit far from here.

But if you want to eat free fish, what does it matter if the journey is far?

It’s just that they are not that lucky. No, it should be said that they don’t have that technology. But anyway?

You can at least catch a few fish in a month. No matter how big the fish is, as long as you take it home, it will always improve your life.

Even though prices are low now, they still cannot afford the large number of children in both families.

There is only one person working, so even if the salary is decent, one still has to calculate how to spend the money.

After all, the children are grown up, and it is impossible not to consider their future.

As for Guo Huaian and I, we had no such worries at all. Not only that, but because of the recent wage reform, our wages had increased slightly.

Now I can get 31 yuan per month, and Guo Huaian can get 48.5 yuan per month. Logically, his salary after he is converted to a regular employee should be 42.5 yuan.

But I don’t know how the higher-ups arranged it. The post office gave him the 14th level.

I guess it has something to do with the fact that he is a retired soldier.

The two of them earn a total of 79.5 yuan per month. Although this amount of money is not the highest among the people in the yard, it is the second highest.

The first one is of course Uncle Zhang and his wife. Even though their positions are not high, Uncle Zhang has great qualifications.

When he retired, he was a platoon-level cadre and had served as the director of an orphanage.

Aunt Zhang used to manage the kitchen in the orphanage, and now after being assigned to work at the post office, she still works in the kitchen.

Uncle Zhang's current monthly salary is 63 yuan, which is % of the administrative salary.

Aunt Zhang now earns 35 yuan a month, which is higher than mine.

The couple had a total of 98 yuan, but even so, they kept a low profile in the yard.

Actually, that’s not the case. Even if the couple eats a lot, it won’t cost much.

Also, because the couple had no children, they wanted to use the remaining money for their retirement in the future.

Logically speaking, the old couple eats pretty well, but compared with their own couple, they have to be more low-key.

I had been planning to stock up on some food, and now that I was pregnant, wouldn't I take this opportunity to do a little bit of it?

As for Guo Huaian, he is not a master who treats himself unfairly.

Because I lived alone since I was very young, I know the feeling of being hungry.

I also know what it means to have food and not be worried. It's not like since I started fishing that I would take as much as I could get and never cared about the size of the fish, as long as I could eat it.

Isn't it natural that after satisfying your own appetite, you also stock up some fish?

In fact, I not only stockpiled a lot of fish, but also some other things.

Now, various fish and meats take up more than half of the cabinets at home. Although the rest are also food, they are all miscellaneous, including snacks and candies that can be stored for a long time.

Fortunately, no one usually comes into the house, and the doors are locked, otherwise I would be worried.

Since I got pregnant, I've been eating more than usual.

Fortunately, the meals we usually eat are oilier, so even if we save some rice and millet, there is enough food for two people.

Even if you don't go to the countryside to exchange food with fellow villagers, you can still eat with just the food coupons in your hand.

But even though it was enough to eat, it was only enough for one month.

It’s probably impossible to store more food, so I still have to sell some food back.

However, most of these foods are sweet potatoes. Although there are other foods as well, they are relatively less than sweet potatoes.

Especially after the autumn harvest, Guo Huaian and Uncle Zhang went to the countryside in the northern suburbs together and carried back some sweet potatoes for home.

In fact, it's not just our family that does this. Didn't the other two families in the yard also buy a lot of food privately?

Even though they don't say it, you can tell just by looking at their children.

To be honest, the food that you can buy from the grain store with just the food coupons is not enough to eat.

What's more, the children in both families are old enough to eat.

Every time when we were having dinner, we could hear the hostesses of the two families talking.

We had just started eating when I heard them talking again.

"Eat, eat, are you all the reincarnations of starving ghosts?

Just know that you want something to eat!

This is the condition at home. You can eat if you want, or you can go hungry if you don’t!

I really have spoiled you guys so much that you are totally lawless?"

At the same time, another lesbian was heard saying this.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. If you think the food I cook is not tasty, then don't eat.

Do you really think there is nothing I can do to you?

right?

If you have the guts, just let whoever you think is good be your parents?

I want to see if you guys can get food from other people's homes outside of this house. That's your ability!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang next door stood up and closed the door.

Without needing to say anything, Guo Huaian put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and closed the door as well.

Come on, it seems that everyone is not stupid. Do they know what these two families mean?

It's true that things like this happen every now and then.

From the first time on, after they understood each other's meaning and closed the door, the two families became more excited and would do this from time to time.
