But for Yang Ming, he had already discussed with Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen and prepared a lot of supplies in advance, so he was not worried about the upcoming changes.

In the center of the courtyard, a burst of mournful cries suddenly rang out from the crowd, as if tearing apart the silence of the night.

"Oh my God, are you going to push our Jia family into the abyss?"

"How are we going to live in the days ahead?"

"I really can't stand it anymore. Why should food be distributed according to urban household registration from now on? I simply can't stand this kind of life!"

People turned their heads and saw Jia Zhang crying loudly.

The reason why Jia Zhang was crying soon became known to everyone.

In the previous census in 1953, most households had already been converted to urban household registration.

Even some residents who originally had rural household registration have changed their household registration to urban household registration due to work or marriage reasons.

However, in the Jia family...

Whether it is Jia Zhangshi or Qin Huairu, they still have rural household registration! In the past, when materials could be bought and sold freely, this did not cause much trouble.

But now, every household that wants to buy food must obtain a food supply certificate, and the issuance of food supply certificates is determined based on each household's household registration.

There will even be more detailed divisions based on gender, age, and whether the labor is physical or mental.

But all these divisions have a common premise - that is, you must hold an urban hukou!

Therefore, in the Jia family, only Jia Dongxu can get food now.

At this moment, even a straightforward person like Jia Zhang realized the seriousness of the problem. She cried loudly in front of everyone.

Qin Huairu's face was extremely pale at this moment, and her eyes were full of complaints when she looked at Jia Zhang. Yes, Qin Huairu was also blaming Jia Zhang in her heart at this moment.

Before, when she married Jia Dongxu, she had thought about moving her household registration to the city.

But Jia Zhang firmly opposed it, thinking that it was enough for the family to have Jia Dongxu, a worker, with an urban hukou. Qin Huairu didn't need to work anyway, so she could keep her rural hukou and get land in the future.

Now that the Jia family is in such a predicament, Qin Huairu is also dissatisfied with Jia Zhang.

Seeing this scene at the Jia family's house, the other residents of the courtyard all had complicated expressions on their faces.

After all, the Jia family was not welcome in the courtyard, especially Jia Zhang, who was always unreasonable and annoying.

Seeing her crying, everyone felt relieved instead of sympathy. Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Although all this was Jia Zhang's own choice, he still had the responsibility to help the Jia family.

So he stepped forward and whispered to comfort her:

"Mrs. Jia, don't worry too much. We are very clear about your family's situation."

"If it really comes to a point where you can't get through, we will definitely lend a hand and help you through the difficulties together."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately stopped crying, stood up from the ground, held Yi Zhonghai's arm tightly, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

"Mr. Yi, is the dilemma you mentioned before true?"

"Hey, my family is already running low on food this month, I wonder if you can lend a hand?"

Yi Zhonghai felt annoyed. He had never expected that Jia Zhang would take advantage of his kindness so blatantly, but he still tried to maintain his composure on the surface, with a bitter smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll come to your house later and bring you some food."

Yi Zhonghai knew that he could not refuse in front of everyone, otherwise, the helpful image he had created for a long time would collapse in an instant.

In order to maintain this image, he had to give up reluctantly this time, and was tricked by Jia Zhang.

"Thank you very much. I knew you were a kind and righteous person."

Jia Zhang smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu and said, "You must remember that this is Master Yi's kindness to us."

Yi Zhonghai felt like he had drunk a cup of bitter tea at this moment.

"Let's continue discussing the main topic." Yi Zhonghai adjusted his mood and continued.

"Everyone is clear about the food coupons. Now, please tell us in turn what kind of coupons you need."

“Start in the front yard.”

"Uncle Yi, the washbasin in my house is so broken that I want to replace it with a new one." said a resident in the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and Yan Bugui next to him began to record.

"next."

"My family wants to get a new coal stove."

"My light bulbs aren't working, and I'm running low on soap..."

"Dongxu, you go first, from the Central Court."

After consulting with his mother and wife, Jia Dongxu said, "Master, what my family needs most right now is a pound of laundry detergent."

"Silly, it's your turn."

After a while of noise, it was finally the backyard's turn.

Yang Ming looked at this scene, feeling a little helpless. He had not yet fully understood Yi Zhonghai's intentions.

"Yang Ming, it's your turn now."

"Me?" Yang Ming and Chen Xueru looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Yi, but our family does not need to purchase anything for the time being, so there is no need to apply for a receipt." When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he felt as if something was blocking his heart and felt uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to create some trouble for Yang Ming in distributing the bills, but he did not expect the other party to act so unconventionally.

In fact, Yang Ming's portable space is filled with various daily necessities, enough for his family to use for a long time.

The.

"Old Yi..." Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai's face looked strange and reminded him softly.

"Well, let's move on to the next one." Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued. At that moment, Yi Zhonghai felt powerless.

He couldn't force Yang Ming to apply for what he desired, because that would make him look ridiculous and laughable. Therefore, he could only continue to push forward his strategy with a hint of helplessness.

His carefully planned layout ultimately failed to materialize, and instead he had to bear the extra burden of a bag of grain for the Jia family. This made him feel extremely depressed, as if a huge rock in his heart was making it difficult for him to breathe.

The conclusion of the whole hospital meeting allowed the residents to return to their daily lives.

Yang Ming noticed Yi Zhonghai's gloomy expression and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

After a brief thought, he guessed Yi Zhonghai's intention and couldn't help laughing.

He had never expected that Yi Zhonghai's plan was so clumsy and full of hidden tricks.

However, considering the current difference in strength and status between the two sides, Yang Ming understood that Yi Zhonghai would never be able to successfully plot against him.

As night fell, Yang Ming suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the middle courtyard.
