Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Why not take this opportunity to go to the countryside first, and as for the future, we can talk about it later."

"That's right. It's true that our family is going to the countryside, so we have to think carefully about where to go."

"Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"Where can you arrange for me to go?"

"That's hard to say. You said I could use this opportunity to climb up the social ladder, but I don't dare to say it, but if we go to the countryside, we will have some connections."

"Yes, I remember you mentioned before that there was an old comrade who was a country boy. Do you remember where he was from?"

"You're talking about him?

I do know it, it’s not far from our Beijing City, but it’s not in Beijing City.”

"That's great, let's go there."

"Okay, I'll start arranging this tomorrow, but you'll have to clean up the house first."

"That's easy to say. I also want to tell you that while we haven't left yet and pork doesn't require tickets, how about we buy some more before we leave?"

"Can this sky be contained?"

“Just buy it and make it into bacon!

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that the meat I bought in winter was made into bacon.

Even the jar meat has been almost eaten up, and I am thinking about making some jar meat in the near future.

Fortunately, I didn’t do it, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to take it with me on the road.”

"Yes, what about the pickles at home?"

"That's easy. The only pickled vegetables we have at home are kimchi and radish. The rest are dried vegetables. We can just mail them to them when the time comes!"

"also."

"My only concern now is where to live?"

"Don't worry about that. I will contact Lao Huang in advance. If possible, we can spend some money to build a few houses later."

"Would it be troublesome?"

"What's the trouble?

We live here by ourselves, so we have to make it a little more comfortable.

So, what kind of house do you think we should build?"

"Logically, brick and tile houses are better, but in the final analysis, we should not be too different from our fellow villagers, otherwise it will be difficult to integrate into their community."

"That's right. Then we'll go see where Old Huang lives and decide what to do."

"can."

I never thought that one day I would actually go to live in the countryside.

Let’s go then. Although I have never spent a single day in the countryside in this life, I think it shouldn’t be a problem given my experience from my previous life.

As for the children, don’t tell them now. Let them go to school safely. You can also take this opportunity to secretly put some things in the space.

The rest are commonly used and can only be placed in the open. In this case, let’s start packing them.

As for buying meat to make bacon, there was no delay. All you had to do was buy it, wash it, apply wine on it, and sprinkle a thick layer of salt on it.

However, it didn't take long before other people in the family compound learned that the Guo family of five were going to the countryside to become farmers.

Some people may come to say hello sincerely, while others just come to watch the fun.

At this moment, no matter if you are sincere or just here to watch the fun, you don't have the time to deal with them.

There are so many things at home that I’m busy enough just packing them, so how can I take care of other things?

Even when the children at home asked, he just said a few simple words.

"Our family of five is indeed going to the countryside, but if you want to return to the city one day, you can only rely on yourself."

"On our own?"

"That's right, you can only rely on yourselves!"

"What can we do?"

"Yes?"

"Since you don't have any outstanding skills, then study hard and never give up learning. Only in this way can you come back one day in the future."

"Really?"

"Is it true? Can't you try it yourself?

What’s more, the road is right under your feet. How you walk it is completely up to you. Others can only provide you with life experience, but sometimes they may not be able to help you.”

"what?"

"Ah for what?

If you still don’t understand, just remember what your mother said in your heart. Maybe one day you will figure it out. "

"Mom, they say that people in the countryside live in poverty. Is that true?"

“We are indeed poor, unlike my parents who used to receive a salary every month.

But don’t think that it was such an honor for mom and dad to be able to receive a salary in the past. After all, we lived in the city, and everything we bought had to cost money, and we needed tickets.

But there are also areas where country people don't have to spend money. For example, as long as they work honestly every day, at least they don't have to worry too much about food.

In addition to grains, another thing we eat is the vegetables we often eat, which we can grow ourselves.

Even in the countryside, raising chickens is fine, but in the city it is totally not allowed.”

"So, in other words, the country folk live better than us city folk?"

"how to say?

I can only say that there are pros and cons! ”

"Oh!"

"Alright, hurry back to your rooms and pack your things. I'll check them later."

"Oh!"

I have been packing up for several days in a row, and as for the work at Cotton Mill No. 1, I have already handed it over to others.

The work at this time could be sold. Anyway, the No. 1 Cotton Factory had not notified me that I would be going to the countryside. I was just an accompanying family member. Relatively speaking, the No. 1 Cotton Factory had more relaxed management in this regard.

As soon as he decided to go to the countryside, he quickly sold his job and earned 500 yuan at once, which seemed like a lot.

In fact, it’s not much at all, but there is no other way. If there was any other way, no one would sell their job.

By the way, even though Guo Huaian works at the post office, the family’s money has never been kept there because he is afraid that other people will find out.

After all, the staff in the post office are all his colleagues, not to mention the people living with him are all his colleagues' family members. If he mails his family's passbook, I'm afraid they all know how much savings he has.

It is better to keep it in your own hands. Not only will other people not know about it, but no one will know where you hide the money.

Since marrying Guo Huaian, he has been in charge of the money himself. As for how much money there is in the family, he knows it clearly but he will not spend it.

Money was rarely used in this era, so I gave him some money when I mailed the package.

There were really too many packages. If he didn't work in the post office, even if there was no discount for mailing things, at least people wouldn't ask to open them and look at them.

They also took this opportunity to put all the fine grains they had saved up in the innermost part, for fear of being discovered.
