Seeing that there were still a lot of seeds left, Zhang Guifang asked several men in the family to clear up the allocated area and also sprinkle some rapeseeds.
However, because Zhang Yu planted a lot of spinach and cabbage, she did not plant much. Instead, she planted a lot of white radish.
Because the vegetable plots they were allocated were small, the housewives in each family were careful about how to grow more vegetables in a smaller area.
No, they have spontaneously learned to interplant.
In fact, when Zhang Yu first came to this world, he chose to work first because he felt that he did not understand the world and had no sense of security. Furthermore, having attended high school and college in his previous life, he did not really think about spending time in the darkness of high school.
It’s a day of study.
Now that he understands the world, he understands that academic qualifications will help you avoid many obstacles in today's society, and even help you achieve success in one step.
The most obvious one is that during the internship period of technical secondary school students, they are divided into level 16 and receive a salary of 37 yuan. After becoming a full-time student, the level will be upgraded to a level and the salary will become 42.5 yuan. However, during the internship period of college students, they are level 14 and can receive a salary of 48.5 yuan.
, after becoming a full-time employee at level 13, he will receive a salary of 55 yuan.
You know, because of my parents' reasons, I was given an exceptional job quota. I skipped several levels, skipped the temporary job, and started directly from the regular job. I also skipped two levels in the middle, and I only got a salary of 27.5 yuan a month.
Thinking of this, he did some calculations and stopped the college entrance examination in 1966. It was not until October 21, 1977, that the People's Daily announced its official resumption with the headline "Major Reforms in College Enrollment."
Although workers and farmers, educated young people who have gone to the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres and recent high school graduates can participate, there are some age restrictions. The age of candidates can be relaxed to thirty years old.
But he was 15 years old in 1958. In 1977, he passed his age. When the college entrance examination was resumed for the first time, his thoughts on the exam were in vain.
Then he could only finish college and be assigned before 1966. Then he could no longer sit idle and put most of his mind into studying.
After all, after three years of high school, if you do well in the exam, you can be admitted to college in 2016 and be able to work in 65.
At this time, his junior high school classmates came to visit him. In the last period of time, he did not go to school or take the high school entrance examination because of his injury.
After that, I went to class directly and became very busy, and I became a lot alienated from my classmates in junior high school.
The person who came to see him this time was his junior high school monitor, whose academic performance was among the best in the class.
Liu Hongtao picked up two pastries and, led by Zhang Guifang, walked towards Zhang Yu's house.
When he was about to reach the door, he shouted in a loud voice: "Xiaoyu, your classmate sees you coming."
"Come on, come on, squad leader" Zhang Yu shouted in surprise: "Come in, come in.
After the three people sat down, Zhang Yu took out a cup and poured water, "Squad leader, drink some water."
"No, no, no, I'll just sit down and get better. Are you healed from your injury?"
When the two of them were about to chat, Zhang Guifang was ready to leave. After all, she was here and the two of them couldn't chat.
Moreover, Xiaoyu has lost a lot of friends since he was injured. Finally, someone came to see him at home, "Xiaoyu, you guys chat, I have something else to do, so I'll go and get busy first."
"Sister-in-law, go and do your work, I will entertain the monitor."
"Aunt, I'll leave after just a minute." Liu Hongtao seemed a little embarrassed when he spoke, and he was obviously a little shy about being his guest.
"Don't leave at noon, stay for dinner, I'll prepare the meal," Zhang Guifang said, then turned around and went to the kitchen regardless of what Liu Hongtao wanted to say.
Zhang Yu waited for the sister-in-law to leave and then asked: "Monitor, what's going on in the class? As you know, I was injured some time ago. I haven't been back to school since then, and I haven't seen my classmates again. By the way, everyone passed the high school entrance examination this time."
How about it?"
"Everyone's results this time are pretty good, and many of them did well in the exam."
"Then monitor, your grades are so good, you must have done well in this exam."
"I was admitted to a technical secondary school." Liu Hongtao said with some frustration.
"Didn't you say you want to go to college?" The whole class knows about the monitor's ideals, and his grades are very good. There is more than a 60% chance that he will be admitted to college.
"My family wants me to study in a technical secondary school. You also know that my father is the only one working in the family. Besides me, I have five younger brothers and sisters, and there are grandparents in my hometown. I can support a whole family with only my father's salary.
People are in a difficult situation. I should come down as soon as possible and earn money earlier, so that I can support my family."
Then seeing Liu Hongtao's lowered head, Zhang Yu understood. It's not that technical secondary school is better than university, but that for ordinary families, studying in technical secondary school is more cost-effective than studying in university.
Studying in a technical secondary school means graduating early. You will be assigned a good job upon graduation, you will get an iron rice bowl, you can transfer your household registration, you can help support your family, and the whole family will benefit.
If you don't go to technical secondary school, you still have to go to high school for three years. However, the college entrance examination admission rate is very low at this time. Even if the monitor has good grades, there is more than 60% chance of being admitted to college, but there is still nearly 40% chance of not being admitted.
If you fail the college entrance examination, you will lose both your wife and your army.
The class monitor is indeed outstanding and has good grades, but going to a technical secondary school will ensure that he will have a good job after three years. But if he gives up the technical secondary school and goes to high school, he will face huge risks, and his family cannot afford to gamble.
Zhang Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He persuaded the class monitor to give up going to technical secondary school and go to high school. It would be a pain in the back to stand and talk, and the burden of the whole family would be placed on one person. It's okay not to mention that feeling.
"Whether you go to a technical secondary school or not, you can get a good job after three years and get a salary of 37 yuan right away. After you become a full-time employee, you can only get 42.5 yuan. I'm jealous..."
When it came to salary, Liu Hongtao smiled, obviously looking forward to his future life.
At noon, Zhang Yu and Zhang Guifang forced Liu Hongtao to stay at home for dinner. After the meal, they had to go through a "battle" of pushing and shouting. Only one pack of two snacks was left behind.
Whatever cakes you want to eat, bring them back to your brothers and sisters."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the afternoon, when Zhang Yu sent Liu Hongtao to the entrance of the alley, Liu Hongtao waved his hand: "Don't send me away, my home is not far from here, you should go back quickly."
"Okay, I won't send you off. Please be careful on the road."
Watching Liu Hongtao go away, he happened to bump into his neighbor who worked at the post office and told him that he had a large package for him.
Zhang Yu turned around and went to the post office and found that the packages were sent by his parents' comrades-in-arms. There were six packages in total. The largest one was sent from the army and was sent by several uncles together.
A few young ones were sent from all over the world by comrades who had changed their careers.
It was all kinds of supplements and specialties. When I opened the letter and saw the instructions inside, it was obvious that they knew he was injured.
Zhang Yu felt warm at the concern of these uncles and thought about giving them something in return.
When he was about to go home and pack some things, he saw someone buying stamps. If he read correctly, it was the wrong version of the Ji 54 Student Federation stamp. He knew this stamp very well.
A senior who joined the company with him was bought by a big boss for 800,000 yuan because he found this stamp during the demolition of his home. Remember, that was only 10 years. For this reason, he did not ask for the demolition money, but chose to buy a lot of stamps.
Want a house.
What I am living now is a nourishing one. I never get off work late and never work overtime. Because I have a rent subsidy, I am very proud of those two stamps every time I talk about them.
Zhang Yu was very envious of this. There was a time when he wanted to pick up missing stamps, so he paid special attention to various stamps. But at that time, he did not have that luck, but now that he has, it seems that he will have to pay more attention in the future.
This stamp is issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of China on September 4, 1958. It is a set of 2 stamps for the "Fifth Congress of the International Student Federation". It was discontinued because the stamp title was mistakenly: "The Fifth Congress of the World Students"
Issued. After correction, it became the "Fifth Congress of the International Student Federation" and was officially issued on the opening day of the conference.
The wrong vote was quickly recalled, and it seemed like he was lucky today.
"Comrade, I also want a few stamps like his."
"Do you want two more editions? This one is more expensive?" the staff at the counter asked.
"I want it, I want both editions. How much does it cost?"
"..."
Holding the big advantage, Zhang Yu excitedly paid for the stamps and took them home.
Even though I knew in my heart, the reason why this edition of stamps was sold so expensively in later generations was, firstly, because it was the wrong edition, and secondly, because it was not properly preserved and few of them were passed down to later generations. After all, things are rare and valuable.
But it couldn't stop him from being happy. The mentality of taking advantage of it made him happy for several days.
What's more, if the stamps are kept in his hand, it's not up to him to decide whether they have them or not, and whether they should be released or not.
He updated his wish. After the reform and opening up, he might not do any business in the future. He knew how much he weighed and he was not a businessman at all.
Rather than doing business, he wants to save more money from now on. If he has any, he can buy some paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, jade, jade and the like to leave to future generations.
When the policy allows private transactions of courtyard houses, he will have to buy two or three units, waiting for appreciation and demolition, to satisfy his desire to be the demolition household and the landlord.
After the opening up, what he wanted to do most was to rent some land in the suburbs of Beijing, build a small manor, grow some green vegetables and fruits, raise some animals, and become self-sufficient.
You don’t have to worry about spraying pesticides or feeding fattening drugs, it’s a beautiful life just thinking about it.
Of course, the premise of beauty is to have a certain economic foundation and have no worries.
In the past few days, he was planning to wander around, taking out some sausages, bacon, etc. for various reasons, hoping to give something to his parents' comrades who were mailing things.
Thinking of this, I found that I forgot to sign in yesterday, which was a waste.
"The system starts signing in today."
"Ding, the sign-in was successful. Congratulations to the host for receiving two yuan in cash and two pieces of 50-year-old ginseng."
"Ginseng!" Zhang Yu exclaimed. The system was so generous today. He signed in two 50-year-old ginseng. He was of greater use than exchanging money.
It happened that my sister-in-law and uncle both came from that war-torn era, so their bodies inevitably suffered a lot. Ginseng has the functions of tonifying vitality, rejuvenating the pulse and strengthening the muscles, nourishing the spleen and lungs, producing body fluids and nourishing the blood, calming the mind and improving the intelligence, so it is suitable for it.
Restore your body.
He was going to use it to brew ginseng wine. When the wine was brewed, he would let his sister-in-law and uncle drink it every two days. It would always be good for the body.
I also want to send some to my parents’ comrades. As soldiers, their bodies have suffered even more.
For this reason, he specially found an old Chinese medicine doctor to find a formula and put a lot of medicinal materials into it.
Zhang Guifang knew that Zhang Yu wanted to send something to her brother-in-law's comrades and agreed very much. Comradeship is comradeship, and taking care of the younger generations of comrades is a person's wish, but these things come and go.
Zhang Guifang is very happy that Zhang Yu understands how to manage this relationship, and thinks that he has grown up and has the eyes of an adult.
Zhang Guifang has a good skill in making sauce. Every time a neighbor makes sauce, she would ask Zhang Guifang to give guidance.
Some time ago, she took advantage of the hot weather before summer, which makes it easier for miso to ferment. She made a jar of miso, but she hasn't eaten it yet.
In order to make delicious sauce, I deliberately found the remaining meat stamps from this month, borrowed a lot from neighbors and colleagues, and asked someone to help save the meat, so I made seven or eight kilograms at one time.
I found dried mushrooms in Zhang Yu's kitchen, soaked the mushrooms, cut them into small dices, cut the ginger and garlic into fine pieces, and minced the meat.
Then pour in the oil, wait until the oil is 50% hot, add the minced meat, mash it with a spatula, stir-fry until the oil bubbles, then add the mushrooms, fry the mushrooms dry, add the ginger and garlic, and stir-fry
After a while, turn to low heat and stir-fry for a while until all the water is dried up. Add salt, peppercorns and some other seasonings, stir-fry evenly, and serve.
After the mushroom meat sauce has cooled down, pour it into the prepared canning jar, close the lid and seal it.
In order to collect these cans and bottles, my sister-in-law was rare and willing to take out the cans in her collection, and the whole family was very happy.
After the mushroom ragu is ready, put a few bottles in each package and stuff it into straw to prevent it from breaking.
While sending something, something the postman said made him a little strange.
"Come to send something?"
"Well, Brother Li, I'm here to send something. My father and mother's comrades knew that I was injured and sent me a lot of things. I thought I had to report that I was safe." I told the neighbor who had his package that day.
, Zhang Yu replied with a smile.
"It's time to check that everything is safe. Have your things been packed? According to regulations, you need to check."
"It's packed. Brother Li, check it out. The contents are almost the same."
The two were chatting while checking what they wanted to send. At this moment, a young man came to pick up the package. Li Sheng looked for it for him first, and the man signed it and left.
I don't know why, but looking at the way he walks, Zhang Yu always feels a little awkward.
"You have to send a lot!" Li Sheng looked at the pile of things and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is not more than what was sent, and I can't be stingy, right?"
"That's true, I saw you brought a lot of things back that day. Speaking of which, you receive much more mail than the average person. You used to receive a package every month." Li Sheng suddenly stopped talking.
The packages I received before were because Zhang Yu’s parents were still alive and serving as soldiers outside, so they sent him packages every month. Now that he was talking about this, wasn’t he talking about Zhang Yu’s pain?
"Xiaoyu, look at my brother's mouth, he doesn't know anything about it.
