Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Although almost everyone knows that grain production has decreased this year, many people also know that grain prices have skyrocketed on the black market.

But now, when they suddenly heard that everyone's food ration standard had been lowered, everyone was shocked and unable to accept it, and the scene was in an uproar.

“The rations cannot be reduced!

We have a large family, and some people don’t have food rations. We can barely get by normally, but if the food rations are reduced now, we really won’t have enough to eat.”

"Yeah, those little bastards in our family eat like wolves. Normally, there's not enough food, and if the rations are reduced, there won't be enough for them."

"That means two kilograms for adults and one kilogram for children. That means they won't have food to eat for several days. How can they go to work?"

……

People in the compound are no longer sitting. They all stand up, and are very excited. Food represents whether they can have enough to eat, and food is the people's primary need.

The normal food standards are already very strict, just enough to get food, and even having enough food is not something most families can do.

Now the food ration has been lowered again. Even though each adult only has two kilograms, this is very important. Two kilograms is almost enough for an adult for two or three days.

Just imagine what it feels like to not eat for two or three days?

It's understandable why everyone is so emotional.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting behind the table. He was in a bad mood. He had been in a bad mood ever since he came back from the meeting and learned the news. He knew very well what impact the reduction in food rations would have on the people in the compound.

Yi Zhonghai has quite a few shortcomings, but he also has his strengths. At least he has done a lot for the compound, otherwise so many people would not respect him.

A reduction in food rations was something he didn't want to see. There were so many people in the yard, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to.

It would not be so easy to gain fame by occasionally helping some people and doing good deeds as he did before. The price to pay would be even greater, which he was unwilling to do.

But as the boss of the hospital, when people in the hospital encounter difficulties, they will definitely come to him.

In fact, what can he do if we go to him?

If he cannot solve everyone's problems, his prestige will definitely be damaged, so he is in a bad mood.

His own family and Jia Dongxu's family are not greatly affected for the time being. There are only him and his wife in his family. He is an eighth-level worker, and his food ration standard was originally set relatively high. In addition, his wife eats less, so even if the food rations of the two of them are reduced a little, there is no problem at all.

Jia Dongxu's family was originally in the most difficult situation, but to his surprise, the Jia family had made preparations in advance and had secretly stored more than 200 kilograms of food.

The Jia family has made preparations for the next three months and can fully cope with the autumn harvest. Yi Zhonghai is very satisfied with the Jia family's smart response this time.

This was the only good news he heard today. No matter how much other families cared about, he had to take care of the Jia family. Now that the Jia family was fine and was coping well, his pressure was greatly reduced.

Liu Haizhong himself was certainly not in a good mood. After all, if the demand was reduced, everyone would be affected, and his family was no exception.

But he earns a lot of money, and although his family will be affected, they can still cope with it. So he could accept the news and was not too excited.

Among the three managers, Yan Fugui was the most upset. His family had the largest number of people but he earned the least. Normally, they could only get by by relying on his calculations. Now that the food rations had been reduced, his family would really have to cut their losses.

There are three adults and three children in his family, and their monthly food rations will be reduced by nine kilograms. After hearing the news during a meeting in the street office, Yan Fugui was so upset that his hands began to shake. This is nine kilograms of food, and it will be like this every month.

The reduced food rations would be enough for two or three days in other families, but only for three or four days in their family. If the nine kilograms of food were replaced with coarse grains and cornmeal with sweet potatoes, it would not be nine kilograms anymore, maybe less than 9 kilograms. That would cost money!

In the past, his family could save a little money every month by saving some food, but now that the food ration has been reduced, it is estimated that this income will be gone in the future.

This huge loss was hard for Yan Fugui, who had always been thrifty, to accept all at once, and he still feels the pain.

The Jia family's reaction was somewhat different from that of other families. Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu looked at each other and quickly communicated tacitly with their eyes.

The three members of the Jia family all breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that their family's proactive response in advance and their determination to use most of their savings to stockpile food were worth it.

Otherwise, hearing the news now, their family would be even more upset and excited. Although the reduction in food rations has little to do with his family and only affects Jia Dongxu, even a fool knows that once this news is announced, the price of food on the black market will definitely skyrocket again.

If his family had not made preparations, they would have suffered a devastating disaster, but now it is different. They can be said to be sitting back and relaxing, as they have stockpiled more than three months' worth of food.

Their family will have no problem coping until the autumn harvest. There will be no shortage of food after the autumn harvest, and naturally there will be no crisis at that time.

Sha Zhu was not very happy when he heard the news. The reduction in food rations did not have much impact on his family.

He ate most of the time at the steel mill, which saved a lot of food. He could also bring some food home from the steel mill canteen every day, so his family had no shortage of food.

Although Old Mrs. Long now also eats with his family, she can’t eat much as she is old. She can’t use up all her own food rations and still has some left over every month.

Therefore, reducing these rations had no effect on Sha Zhu. What made him unhappy was that he could still eat rice, but it would be even more difficult to eat delicious meat dishes, which would definitely be more difficult than it is now.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the people in the compound were very angry, and he knew that he had to calm everyone down, otherwise it would be bad if something happened.

This is exactly what was required of them at the street meeting. If the commotion gets too big, it will have a very bad impact on the three of them.

He looked at Yan Fugui. Liu Haizhong had already taken the lead in telling everyone the bad news. Originally, he wanted Yan Fugui to follow up and calm everyone's emotions, and then he would make the final summary, which would be much easier.

Seeing that Yan Fugui was in a very bad mood and had no intention of calming everyone down, Yi Zhonghai had to go himself.

Yi Zhonghai already had some ideas in mind. After the meeting, he was thinking about how to deal with this problem. Since some food rations were short, he would think of solutions from other aspects.
