Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Chapter 137 Qin Huairu's grievance strategy

For example, two fitters are both of level seven skill, one has one year of experience while the other has ten years, there will be a significant difference in their salary levels.

In this era when tickets are king, buying things often requires specific tickets. For this reason, companies usually issue some quotas such as food and oil coupons to facilitate employees' daily needs.

Depending on different situations, specific rules are formulated for the issuance of food and oil coupons within the factory; interns, formal employees and their years of work experience need to be taken into consideration; at the same time, the family status of the employees and the number of family members must also be considered, and records must be kept according to the place of household registration.

In a large private factory with tens of thousands of employees, workers' family information is updated every month.

Despite this, Lin Xiangdong, who is currently single and lives in a two-room tiled house, still enjoys a relatively generous ration.

This is due to his good family background and his background as a relative of a martyr.

In fact, even though he was dating the wealthy Lou family and had obtained many ration certificates, Lin Xiangdong still insisted on waiting until he got married to get help.

With the income from the film projection work and the help of the debt collection system, it is not a problem to meet the needs of daily life. However, it is relatively difficult to enjoy the delicacies of land and sea every day.

After sending Lou Xiao'e home, Lin Xiangdong did not immediately return to his courtyard home.

Located near the river, beside the willow trees and on the grass, everything is full of vitality.

The clear flowing water presents colorful colors under the sunlight.

There are dozens of rivers in the capital, including the well-known "Yongding River" and "Chaobai River".

Because the river here is small, no traces of large fish were found.

After parking the car, we strolled along the water's edge and spotted several tiny fish.

I muttered to myself, "A fish of this size can only fill the tiny gaps in my teeth."

The health of the small fish seems to be too low to make catching them difficult.

After concentrating his mental power on observing a small fish, he tried to capture it into his personal storage space, but the small fish easily broke free and quickly slipped away.

"How is it possible? This little guy also has a full health value of ten?" Lin Xiangdong was a little puzzled.

It is possible that the actual value may be even higher than ten.

I had no choice but to look for a smaller target. Then I found an even smaller fish. Because it was a little far away, I used a stone to create waves to make the fish come closer.

Finally captured successfully.

After half an hour, only thirteen small fish were obtained.

I'm afraid this total amount won't even fill one bite.

Lin Xiangdong thought about it and decided to buy some soy products and go home to cook a bowl of soy milk and fish soup!

After some thought, Lin Xiangdong decided to cook a bowl of fish and tofu soup first, and then grill the remaining small fish to eat.

Before the market closed, Lin Xiangdong hurried to buy tofu.

On his way to the market, his eyes suddenly lit up - an old lady on the roadside caught his eye with a basket full of crabs in her hand.

Speaking of which, crabs are actually not valuable in this era.

At that time, many people in the countryside used it as a food supplement.

It is said that you only pay two cents for a pound of crabs.

That is to say, in this day and age, it is common to buy several pounds of crabs for just a dime.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiangdong took out thirteen small fish from the space around him.

He had originally planned to enjoy a tofu and fish cooking delicacy tonight, but now he changed his mind.

We are going to exchange these small fish for some crabs.

When he came to the old lady, he said to her, "Auntie, if I use these fish of mine, can I exchange them for some of your crabs?"

She looked at the small fish, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can only exchange them for two pounds of crabs."

"Give me three pounds, please?"

The old lady immediately shook her head: "That's impossible."

Considering that the old lady was only willing to give two pounds, Lin Xiangdong agreed.

So the thirteen small fish were handed over to the lady, and Lin Xiangdong harvested two pounds of crabs.

If he had exchanged for larger fish instead of thirteen small ones, he would probably have gotten an extra pound or two of crab.

……

By the time Lin Xiangdong returned to his courtyard house, it was already getting dark.

The first person to enter the courtyard with two large bags of crabs was Uncle San.

Seeing that it was a crab, the uncle was not very interested.

If it was fresh fish, Uncle San might start to think about it.

For rural areas, even a dime can buy several pounds of crabs, which is very economical.

In the past two years, the Yan family had no money to buy flour, so they caught a lot of crabs to fill their stomachs.

Qin Huairu, who was in the courtyard, paid no attention to the crabs.

When she heard that Lin Xiangdong bought some crabs, she showed even more contempt.

Although there is some meat in the crab, it does not attract much attention to this stick.

Lin Xiangdong felt a little unhappy when he noticed that others were looking down on his crabs.

Wash and cook the crabs, and pair them with some overheated steamed buns made from Erhe flour to make dinner.

Lin Xiangdong was very satisfied eating the cold steamed buns with stewed crabs.

The only downside is that there is not much meat in the crab and relatively little crab roe.

Since food is still scarce, not much crab meat is produced, and naturally the crab roe content is also very low.

Even though the crab meat was not much and of average quality, it still tasted quite delicious, although it could not compare to the various types of crabs he had enjoyed in his previous life.

On the other side, Sha Zhu was drinking white wine and tasting peanuts at home; next to him, He Yuqi was chewing steamed buns and eating some shredded potatoes.

Despite drinking cheap bulk liquor and somewhat weak roasted peanuts, Shazhu seemed remarkably content.

He told Yuqi: "Lin Xiangdong seems to be getting worse and worse. He used to be a movie projectionist, but now he only cooks crabs at home."

When he thought about the crabs cooked at the other party's home and the simple plate of peanuts on his table, he couldn't help but feel even happier.

"It seems that Lin Xiangdong is not very good at budgeting." He Yushui commented.

Hearing that Lin Xiangdong was enjoying crabs at home, He Yushui couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.

If there were no other choice, why would you eat crabs? After all, one cent can buy a lot of crabs, and even one dollar can buy dozens of kilograms, not to mention the purchasing power of ten dollars - that is almost equivalent to the amount that Sha Zhu can buy with his monthly salary now.

......

Yi Zhonghai has finished his dinner and is now slowly savoring the "Da Qianmen" in his hand at home.

In those days, Daqianmen was considered a very high-quality cigarette and a product of substance. People used to say, "Real dignitaries smoke Daqianmen to show their style," which shows how popular it was.

Even today, it is difficult for ordinary people to afford to buy Daqianmen cigarettes. But for Yi Zhonghai, who has a high salary, he consumes at least two packs a month.

In fact, with his income, he could easily afford to have a sumptuous meal with the old lady, but the meat coupons were not enough. Considering his status as an only child and the problem of retirement, Yi Zhonghai would save part of his salary every month. In addition, the old lady was in poor health and needed regular medical treatment and medicine, which also cost a lot of money.

"Seeing Dongzi enjoying crabs now, his quality of life is obviously not high. I have to send him some millet porridge." Yi Zhonghai was thinking.

Although Sha Zhu will take care of his future affairs, Yi Zhonghai also admires Lin Xiangdong very much.

If Sha Zhu can't be relied upon in the future, at least he can count on Lin Xiangdong! Of course, it would be even better if both of them could afford Yi Zhonghai's funeral.

.....

It's family dinner time at Liu Haizhong,

Liu Haizhong tasted the fried eggs he prepared carefully and had a drink.

Meanwhile, the first wife can enjoy the fried eggs,

But as for his second son, Liu Guangtian, and third son, Liu Guangfu, they could only watch and drool.

In the past, when the eldest brother Liu Guangqi was at home, Liu Haizhong was happy to let his eldest son have a taste of the fried eggs, but he was merciless to his other younger brothers.

The eldest son, Liu Guangqi, is currently employed in another place.

Seeing the greedy look on the second and third sons' faces, Liu Haizhong glared at them and said, "What are you looking at, you two boys! It's already very rare to have cabbage stalks to chew!"

After chewing a piece of fried egg, the first wife said to them: "Cabbage stalks are better than crabs! Think about how Lin Xiangdong can only survive by eating crabs now. It's good enough that you can still fill your stomach with cabbage stalks!"

After the eldest wife finished her speech, the second boy seemed to think that what she said was true.

Although I couldn't share the fried eggs, I had some cabbage leaves to fill my stomach. Compared to crabs, they were indeed better.

"As a person, don't be as treacherous and cunning as your uncle, but you must not be like Lin Xiangdong either!" While drinking, Liu Haizhong also expressed his opinion, "If you have a little plan, you won't end up relying on crabs to fill your stomach."

"If I were your father, I would break your legs!"

Liu Guangtian tasted a bite of cabbage and recalled the crabs that Lin Xiangdong had eaten. This made him feel that he was actually quite lucky.

"Let's see what will happen to Lin Xiangdong next! Maybe he will face the fate of eating crabs every day from now on!" the wife added.

...

"Mom, do you know? Lin Xiangdong's family has white rice, soybean flour and rice." Qin Huairu told her mother Jia Zhang.

Seeing Qin Huairu's sad face, Jia Zhang's mother felt a little overwhelmed.

Qin Huairu planned to show her miserable side, so Jia Zhang**'s image would have to be "adjusted". Although this was not easy for Jia Zhang's mother to accept - after all, even a stubborn old woman has to maintain her reputation; being a little bit bad-hearted in her own family was barely tolerable, but what if this character was exposed to the neighbors?

Having said that, if everyone agrees that Jia Zhang's mother is an evil mother-in-law, then Qin Huairu, who is being bullied, can actually win more sympathy.

With the contrast of a fierce mother-in-law, Qin Huairu can more easily create the image of a considerate and virtuous daughter-in-law.

Of course Qin Huairu did not say it explicitly, but Jia Zhang's mother was smart enough to understand her intentions.
