I messed up the Siheyuan

Chapter 3 Situation

There is a big difference in salary before and after becoming a regular employee.

Before becoming a regular employee, Wang Ping only had a basic salary of 18 yuan a month.

These eighteen yuan are also the salary of a worker's apprentice.

As an apprentice, his food quota did not come from the factory, but was distributed according to the quota of ordinary citizens (28 kilograms per month).

It’s different after becoming a regular employee.

His salary will be paid according to the standard of a first-class worker, which is twenty-two yuan per month.

As a buyer for a steel mill, he also receives a job allowance of five yuan per month.

In addition, since the buyers often eat out, the factory also gives them an extra subsidy of five yuan and five kilograms of food coupons every month.

After becoming a formal employee of the steel rolling mill, his food supply began to shift away from the steel rolling mill.

As a production unit, most of the jobs in a steel rolling mill involve heavy physical labor, so the food quota for workers in the steel rolling mill is a high standard of 45 kilograms.

As a purchaser of the steel mill, although Wang Ping is not a front-line heavy manual laborer, he is still a worker of the steel mill.

Therefore, he would also have a food quota of 45 kilograms every month.

By this calculation, after being converted to a regular employee, he can receive 32 yuan in cash and 50 kilograms of food every month.

Of course, there were also some other kinds of coupons such as cloth coupons, sugar coupons, meat coupons, etc., but the number was relatively small.

In terms of cloth coupons, he would only be able to make a shirt for the Chinese New Year if he saved for a year.

Despite this, 32 yuan in cash and 50 kilograms of food coupons every month allowed Wang Ping to live a relatively affluent life even in a year of great disaster.

You know, this money and tickets are enough to support a family.

Now he is the only one spending it, so he is definitely the golden bachelor of this era!

Therefore, since he became a regular employee, some single girls in the steel mill have been trying to get close to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Some of the middle-aged women in the factory would often try to introduce him to someone.

Although Wang Ping felt that he was only 17 years old and did not want to get married so early, this also greatly satisfied his vanity.

At least, in the 21st century, as a poor loser, he is not so popular.

Those sweet-smelling, pretty single female colleagues in the company usually never even looked at him straight in the eye.

The salary is high, but I still spend it on my own.

The rooms we lived in were two, one large and one small, which were too much for me to accommodate by myself.

The means of transportation also include bicycles provided by the factory.

In this era, owning a bicycle is not much different from owning a sports car in the 21st century.

Then, you can also purchase food from the system to satisfy your hunger...

This is simply...

Apart from the comfort and convenience brought by modern technological products such as mobile phones, televisions, washing machines, etc. in the 21st century, Wang Ping's life in the 1960s was pretty good!

After a while of this kind of life, he became a little proud.

All of a sudden, he distributed candies to the children in the alley again.

In an era when ordinary people had a hard time even getting enough food, he distributed candies twice in a row...?

It’s still the rare White Rabbit milk candy.

Many children in the alley have grown up but have never eaten this kind of candy!

At most, they would just watch from afar across the counter in the supply and marketing cooperative and drool.

Therefore, the children who got candy twice in a row went crazy.

Wang Ping has become the most handsome boy in the eyes of all the kids!

As long as he said a word, the children would be so eager to obey him and obey him in everything...

Then, he was dumbfounded!

As for the matter of handing out candies, he realized that he had done something extremely stupid!

Ever since he started handing out candies, the kids in the alley would gather in groups of three or five to play after school every day.

It was said to be playing, but in fact it was just blocking him to see if he could give out candy again.

Not only the children, but even the uncle would wait at the door every day after get off work.

Just wait for him to give out candies so that I can take a few.

Then, when he saw that due to his excessive eating and drinking, the family savings had been reduced by one third in just over a month, he became aware of the situation.

He didn't dare spend money like this anymore.

He also began to try the hard-to-swallow cornmeal porridge and steamed corn bread.

......

Parking his bicycle under his window, Wang Ping ignored Yan Fugui's voice behind him, opened the door and walked into the house.

Wang Ping currently lives in the larger of the two rooms, which is approximately 38 square meters.

This room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

The inner room is 18 square meters. In addition to a bed, there is also a wardrobe, three wooden boxes and a set of writing desks and chairs.

The outer room is 20 square meters and serves as both a living room and a dining room.

In the center of the house, there is an octagonal table and several chairs with backrests. Not only do people usually eat here, but guests are also arranged to sit here.

Near the window, there is a stove burning honeycomb coal. This stove is used to boil hot water and keep warm.

In addition, there is a cabinet with a coat mirror against the north wall.

Compared to this room, the other one is smaller, only 27 square meters.

The layout of that small room is basically the same as this large room, and is also divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

However, this room is now empty and is used by Wang Ping as a storage room to store some things that are not needed temporarily.

In addition, the Wang family’s kitchen is not in the house.

Between the two rooms, one large and one small, the Wang family built a small room of two or three square meters against the wall, where they usually cook.

In fact, almost all courtyard house residents build a small hut outside their house to use as a kitchen.

......

After entering the house, Wang Ping started to get busy.

After lighting the fire in the stove, he went to the middle yard to get some water with a kettle and put it on the stove.

In this way, when the water boils, you can drink the hot water directly.

Then, he used the steamer to steam a few steamed buns.

Of course, his steamed corn bread is different from others.

Other people’s steamed bread is basically made of cornmeal.

Steamed bread made of cornmeal mixed with white flour can only be eaten during the New Year and other festivals.

And in this year of disaster, those who can eat steamed bread mixed with a little white flour during the New Year and other festivals may belong to families with relatively good living conditions.

But here, corn flour and white flour are mixed in a ratio of 1:1.

There was no way. If the proportion of white flour was any lower, he would find it unbearable.

After the steamed corn bread was ready, Wang Ping wanted to get some pickled vegetables.

A dinner of a few steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

Not only him, but almost everyone in this era eats like this.

However, he hesitated again.

He hasn't seen meat for more than ten days.

Therefore, he wanted to splurge a little tonight and cook a meat dish to satisfy his hunger.

However, after he bought a pound of meat from the system, he hesitated again.

If you cook meat dishes, the whole yard will be filled with the smell of meat.

No one else is needed, Yan Fugui who lives next door will have to smell the meat and come over to harass her.
