Chapter 268: Major policy changes are hard to guard against(1/2)
"This is for the child." Wang Lin said and put the red envelope into the little girl's hand.
"Thank you, auntie." The little girl was not polite.
"There's mine too!" Master also took out a red envelope and handed it to the little girl.
Of course, it was not the ones given to him by Fangyuan, they were also prepared in advance.
"Thank you, Master." The little girl said sweetly.
"Come, sit down and drink some water." Wang Lin poured Director Jin a cup of tea and said.
"Okay sister-in-law."
After Director Jin sits down, nothing will happen to Fangyuan.
"Master, Mom, Uncle Jin, you guys can chat while I go out to play."
"Okay, let's go!"
"Brother Fangyuan, I'll go too."
Fangyuan nodded and said, "Let's go."
The little girl went, and of course the second sister and the third sister came with her.
A group of four people came out of the house, and the second sister asked: "Where are we going?"
"Go to the little fat man's house." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
In this family home of a woolen textile factory, the second sister and the others can only go to the little fat man's house, but there are many places they can go to in Fang Yuan.
If it were him, he would have more choices, but now that the second sister and the third sister have the little girl following them, they can only go to the little fat man's house.
"Yes, let's go to the little fat man's house." The third sister nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go."
A group of four people went to the little fat man's house. It was not far away, just a few steps out of the alley.
The main reason is that the little fat man’s house is right next to the road in the middle of the family’s courtyard.
Arriving at the door of the little fat man's house, the third sister hurriedly walked forward and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, and it was Dabao who opened the door. When he saw it was Fangyuan and the others, he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Let's come for a visit!" Fangyuan said and walked straight in.
Dabao had no choice but to step aside. If it were someone else, he would have dared to stop him, but it was Fangyuan who came, and he really didn't dare.
"Fang Yuan is here, come in quickly." Fat Uncle was working in the yard. When he saw Fan Yuan coming in, he quickly let Fan Yuan and the others into the house.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Fat!"
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Uncle Fat!"
The second sister and the others also hurriedly said hello to Fat Uncle, but Fat Uncle was so happy that he quickly let Fangyuan and the others go into the house.
Fat Uncle is very familiar with the people in the family home. It can be said that there is no one in the family home who does not know him, but if he is the kind of person who can come to visit the family during the New Year, it is probably only around a square meter!
"Hey! Boss, why are you here? I was about to go over to find you!" The little fat man was loading things into his pockets in the room, and asked quickly when he saw Fangyuan coming in.
"I came over to pay New Year's greetings! What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Sambo, why don't you bring out your food to treat Fangyuan?" the fat uncle said to the little fat man.
"Oh! I'll take it right away." After saying this, the little fat man quickly ran into the back room and came out with an iron plate.
"Boss, you guys eat melon seeds."
The little fat man is very stingy with others, but he will never be picky with Fang Yuan, the second sister, and the others. It can be said that he will eat them all without saying anything.
"Okay Sanbao, didn't you say there are none?" Dabao also came in from the outside at this time and asked when he saw the peanuts and melon seeds brought out by the little fat man.
The little fat man gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "I want to say that there are still more, but you and the second brother haven't snatched them all up!"
"You stinky boy, I see you..."
"What are you looking at him for?" Before Dabao finished speaking, Uncle Fat looked at him and asked.
"Uh! No...why not!"
"It's okay, just do the work outside." Fat Uncle said to Dabao.
"Oh!"
After Dabao went out, Fat Uncle said to Yuan Yuan: "Sit down quickly!"
Fangyuan and the others sat down. The house of Fat Uncle's house was a little bigger than Fangyuan's house. Not only the house, but also the yard was much bigger.
This is normal, because there is a row of houses in front of Fat Uncle's house next to the street, which are the ones with butcher shops.
After Fangyuan and the others sat down, Uncle Fatty took out four red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Fangyuan and the others.
If it were normal times, Fangyuan would definitely not want it, but now it is the Chinese New Year, and it is for good luck, so Fangyuan took it.
Seeing that Fangyuan picked up, the second sister and the others also picked up.
It doesn't matter whether you have more money or less, and Fangyuan is not short of this little money. This is the fat uncle's wish, and this is the most important thing.
"Thank you, Uncle Fat."
"Why are you so polite? Okay, you can play! I'll finish the work outside."
"Okay, Uncle Fat, you are busy."
After Fat Uncle went out, Fangyuan and the others were the only ones left in the house. Little Fatty's mother was not at home, so she probably went out.
"Boss, my father is so picky that he actually gave you red envelopes." The little fat man said in a low voice.
Fangyuan gave the little fat man a roll of his eyes and said, "Speak louder if you can."
"Uh! Let's forget it, I don't want my butt to blossom."
Fangyuan and the others didn't stay at the little fat man's house for long, and then they came out. Of course, there was one more person behind them.
Needless to say, who else could be there besides the little fat man? In fact, even if Fangyuan didn't come, the little fat man would still have to go find him.
After coming out of Little Fatty's house, Fangyuan said: "Second sister, you go back first! I'll go look elsewhere."
"Why are you going?"
"I'm going to the factory director's house to have a look, so don't follow me."
"Go to the factory director's house!" The second sister looked at Fangyuan in surprise.
"Yes! Where else could I go?"
Fangyuan was not lying, he really went to the factory director's house, not only the factory director's house, but also the principal's house. In any case, the principal had helped him.
"Okay! Come back quickly."
"Got it."
After watching the second sister and the others go back, Fangyuan turned around and left.
Of course you can't go to the factory director's or principal's house empty-handed. There are two pounds of peach cakes, two pounds of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and some candies.
As a result, Fangyuan got two more red envelopes. In fact, these two red envelopes were not enough to pay for his things, but it was just a thought.
Fangyuan is not selling anything.
When Fangyuan returned home, the house was lively. Mom's apprentice Xiao Liu came over with her children, and of course, there were some gifts.
This year passed like this, and Master stayed at Fangyuan's house until he left after fifteen years.
Originally, Fangyuan wanted him to stay here forever, but Master was unwilling, saying it would be too troublesome for Fangyuan's family.
There is no other way, Fangyuan can only send Master back.
It was at this time that the Imperial City Commerce Bureau and Food Bureau introduced new policies.
The original coarse grain stamps and thick and thin grain stamps were cancelled, and were replaced by grain stamps.
The previous coarse grain stamps and thick and thin grain stamps can still be used, but they are no longer issued.
Moreover, the food supply has been adjusted again. The previous rations based on age have been cancelled, and the rations should be distributed based on head.
In other words, regardless of adults or children, everyone’s monthly payment is the same. This adjustment is a good thing for ordinary people!
In the past, an adult only had 28 kilograms of grain per month, but now a newborn baby has 30 kilograms of grain every month.
Of course, adults also weigh thirty pounds, but the difference is huge.
To give a very simple example, there used to be ten people in a family, including four adults and six minors.
Depending on age, this family may not even have 200 kilograms of food every month, but after adjustments, this family will have 300 kilograms of food every month.
There are more than 100 kilograms of extra grain. Even if the extra grain is coarse grain, this more than 100 kilograms of grain will make the family's life much easier.
When Fangyuan got the news, the first thing that came to his mind was that the price of food stamps was going to drop. Those ticket sellers who had kept food stamps in their hands before and were reluctant to sell them should probably cry!
