Me! The dark horse of the Siheyuan, my wife Chen Xueru

Bai Yulan: "Muzi, don't get me wrong, the public-private partnership is about to begin, I'm afraid..."

"Sister Bai, please stop talking. I understand!" Yang Muzi nodded secretly.

On the surface, Bai Yulan is his cousin, but in fact, they are in an employment relationship. If others knew that Bai Yulan was a long-term worker in their family, then Yang Muzi would be in danger and might be labeled as capital.

Are you kidding? In this day and age, you can have a nanny at home. This is serious class thinking.

Although Bai Yulan is a rural woman, she also knows the seriousness of the matter.

The recent public-private partnership controversy has caused Bai Yulan to have some concerns.

Yang Muzi is so good to me, I can't let him be harmed because of this matter.

What's more, she is now following He Daqing, and with Cai Quanwu's help, she lives a good life.

You can live a good life with or without Yang Muzi's money.

Yang Muzi said: "Sister Bai, you are right. I really can't pay you salary in the future. What if others find out..."

"Muzi, please don't misunderstand, your child..." "Hehe!"

Yang Muzi smiled and said, "Sister Bai, here is a thousand yuan. I will give it to you in one lump sum. If there is any work to be done at home in the future, please help. When the child grows up, Sister Bai will not need to worry about it anymore."

"No, no, I can't take this money!" Bai Yulan shook her head quickly.

She didn't come here to ask for money.

Chen Xueru stood up and said, "Sister Bai, take it. You have helped me take care of the children during this period. This is our reward to you. Also, Sister Bai, your two children are getting older and there are more places to spend money. You can't just rely on Uncle He. You have to have some money in your hands. Take it."

Chen Xueru stuffed the money into Bai Yulan's pocket.

"Muzi, Xueru, I, I thank you, you are my Bai Yulan in this life..."

"Okay, Sister Bai, we are all family, so let's not talk about different things."

The next day.

Yang Muzi went out early in the morning and first went to Li's Grain Store to buy two thousand kilograms of grain. Then he went to other grain stores and bought a total of ten thousand kilograms of grain before he stopped.

Then we went to the vegetable market and bought chicken, duck, fish and meat.

In fact, he had more supplies than he could eat, but Yang Muzi was afraid that the children would starve.

There is a kind of coldness, which is when your parents think you are cold. There is a kind of moth, which is when your parents think you are hungry. It is pitiful that parents all over the world have such love, and Yang Muzi is no exception.

Soon, three months passed, and Yang Muzi had fully stocked up on food this time, and the public-private partnership officially began.

"Damn it!" Chen Xueru returned home with an unhappy face.

"Brother Mu, the silk shop is no longer mine. Now they have sent a public manager named Liao Yucheng to take charge."

"Liao Yucheng!!!" Yang Muzi's heart sank.

Liao Yucheng is Chen Xueru's second man in the drama The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate.

He was the one who took away all of Chen Xueru's property.

Because Chen Xueru married Yang Muzi, the plot changed and Liao Yucheng suddenly became the representative of the public side.

This despicable villain wants to take over the silk shop, that's absolutely not allowed. Yang Muzi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Xue Ru, if it really doesn't work out, we should give up the silk shop." After careful consideration, Yang Muzi said this.

Of course, he would not take a small person like Liao Yucheng seriously.

However, Liao Yucheng is now a representative of the government, and to deal with him would be to go against the government.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to give up the silk shop, since it doesn't make money anyway. "No!"

Chen Xueru shook her head firmly: "The silk shop is my father's life's work, I will never give up the silk shop."

That’s right, she did have a crush on the silk shop, which was something Yang Muzi could not understand.

"Okay, I support you. When you go to work, I will accompany you to meet Liao Yucheng." Yang Muzi smiled slightly.

"Um!".

Chen Xueru nodded slightly and instantly felt strong and confident. With a man by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

"By the way, how is Xu Huizhen doing?" Yang Muzi asked.

Xu Huizhen's tavern has been operating as a pilot for several months. So Yang Muzi wanted to find out about Xu Huizhen's situation. "Hey~~Don't mention it. Huizhen has been complaining to me a lot these days. That Fan Jinyou obviously doesn't know how to run a business. He treats customers like servants. The tavern's business is about to be ruined by him."

"That's easy." Yang Muzi felt relieved.

In the plot of The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate, it was Fan Jinyou who messed up the tavern and made it unable to run the business. Finally, Xu Huizhen was appointed as the public manager.

This means that it is possible that Manager Gongfang may also be replaced.

By then, as long as he could find some evidence against Liao Yucheng, he could force him to step down with a little trickery.

"Muzi, have you finished your meal?" Uncle San pushed the door open and walked in. "Just finished, Uncle San, is there anything I can do for you?"

"The people in the yard will go to the neighborhood committee to get their food allowances. I'm here to inform you. We'll all go together later."

"I'll go right away!"

Yang Muzi followed Uncle San out. These are truly troubled times.

Chen Xueru had just started public-private partnership and food coupons were also being promoted.

The so-called grain book is the certificate for receiving the ticket.

With a grain book, you can get grain coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, coal coupons, egg coupons, meat coupons and other tickets.

Only with coupons can you buy supplies, and the distribution of supplies is based on the quota on the grain book.

There are quotas for various tickets. If the quota for food tickets is exceeded, you cannot buy supplies even if you have money.

Of course, it is not impossible to buy it. You can buy it at a high price. That is to say, if you buy it on the black market, the price will be at least three times higher. Moreover, if you are caught, you will be punished.

Following Uncle San, we came to the front yard. There were quite a few people in the yard, and there was a representative from every household.

"Yo~~~ Muzi is here, everyone is here."

Uncle Er said, "Today we are going to the neighborhood committee to get our food allowances, don't forget to bring your household registration books with you.

In addition, before receiving the food grain book, we need to educate everyone about food grain coupons.

Uncle San, you are a cultured person, you speak for yourself. " "Yes!"

The third uncle nodded and said, "From now on, the government will promote the rationing of food supplies in order to save funds and avoid waste."

"What is rationing?" someone asked.

Uncle San: "The so-called ration refers to the amount of food and supplies consumed by each person. The government has a unified ration. You eat as much as you are given. If you don't have enough, you should save it."

"What!"

"How can you be hungry?"

"Oh my god, so this is how the food is rationed, my child might have eaten it." Uncle San's words caused panic in the yard. Food rationing is not a good thing.

You know, everyone’s appetite is different. Some people can’t finish one steamed bun, while others are not full even with three steamed buns.

There are also some people who can eat a lot. If they eat a month's worth of food in half a month, they will starve.

Also, most of the people in the yard are workers. They have to work hard, and each one eats more than the other.

Another group is families with many children.

You know, the little kid can eat me to death. It is an indisputable fact that when children are growing up, they can eat more than adults.

Adults can still endure when there is not enough food, but what about children? Should we just watch them starve?

In addition, if the ticket is lost, it will be a big deal.

For some time before, everyone was discussing the issue of food coupons, but no one took it too seriously.

Only at this moment did I realize the importance of getting the ticket, which is more important than money.

If you have less money, you can save it or go earn money, but once the food coupons are used up, they are gone.

Apart from life, nothing can be more important than food coupons.

Yang Muzi glanced at Uncle San and asked, "Uncle San, do you know how the quantity is determined?"

His words made the whole place quiet down. Everyone wanted to know how much food they could get.

"Why!"

Uncle San sighed, "It's distributed according to population, and the quotas are different for different people. For those who are employed, men get 40 kilograms of flour per month, women 27 kilograms, and children 20 kilograms.

For those who are not employed, the standard of 27 kilograms shall be applied, and the standard of 20 kilograms shall still be applied to children.

In addition, the government provides relief food to those who are unable to work.”

"This is the food quota, and there are oil coupons, which are distributed according to population, half a pound per person per month.

Meat coupons are half a pound per person per month. Coal coupons are...”

After hearing what Uncle San said, everyone's heart sank. Except for those who were working, they were in a better mood. The workers were honored and more materials were distributed.

"Oh my God, don't let me live. My child eats several steamed buns in one meal. 20 kilograms is not enough!"

"That's right. One person only needs half a pound of oil. How many times can he stir-fry?"

"Half a pound of meat, this ration is too little, half a pound of meat is not even enough for our children to fill their teeth."

People in the yard were complaining bitterly.

Before food coupons became popular, the way people in Beijing lived was completely different from that of later generations.

During the Republic of China period, the Chinese people had suffered from war and their idea of ​​living a life of mediocrity was to muddle through.

For example, if the way those coolies working on the overpass spend their money were to be told in later generations, it would definitely seem incredible.

For example, I worked as a laborer this morning and earned three cents, but I quit in the afternoon.

A big meal for one dollar.

In the afternoon, I went to see some fun things on the overpass, and gave my second dollar as a tip to the street performers.

Take the third money home and give it to your wife.

If there is no work to do the next day, you may have to go hungry.

Some people say that if this is the case, why not just not give tips to street artists?

Little do we know that each era has its own people.

People at that time only cared about eating today and didn’t think about tomorrow at all, let alone saving money or investing in financial management.

The prosperity of the overpass was also driven by this reason.

At this time, the country had just been established, and people had become more restrained in the way they spent money, but they were still willing to spend money on food and drink.

People without money have to borrow money to eat and drink. This does not mean that people in ancient times were necessarily more frugal than people today.

Rather, it was the older generation who were influenced by food stamps and their lifestyles, and learned to be thrifty.

Except for this special era, whether in later generations or in ancient times, when people's nature was liberated, they all liked to eat and drink.

Therefore, it is totally wrong to say that people nowadays are thrifty. It is right to be thrifty but not to eat sparingly.

There needs to be a standard timeline division here, which is before and after the issuance of food coupons.
