Zhou Wenzhong was the last one to come back. After entering the main room, he closed the door and Zhou Deming sat at the square table again.
Ma Guihong led Zhou Wenxiu back to the house.
Zhou Wenxin was sweeping the floor with a broom.
"Hey, the great hero of the Zhou family is back? Take a look at the evil you have done and let me help you clean it up. Come on, you can clean it up yourself."
Zhou Wenzhong walked up to him and took a look.
"Is it tiring to help my brother with some work? You haven't held a broom since you were a child, right?"
"Dad, did you hear that? Look at what the boss said? You are still sitting here, and he dares to say that."
Zhou Wenzhong just felt that there was fire in his heart and he needed to vent it out. He could no longer hold it in any longer!
Run two steps quickly and walk up to him, grab Zhou Wenxin's little arm, put his right hand around Zhou Wenxin's arm on his chest, bend his calf sideways, put his shoulder against Zhou Wenxin's chest, and lift his waist
A sudden upward movement. Technical term: Gaibu over-shoulder fall.
Zhou Wenxin, who weighed about 90 kilograms, hit the dining table and the broom in his hand flew out.
"boom!!!"
Zhou Wenxin hit the ground next to the dining table perfectly. Only then did Zhou Wenzhong let go of the hand holding his arm. If he wanted to, he could break Zhou Wenxin's arm in an instant. This feeling is engraved in his bones.
Proficiency made Zhou Wenzhong somewhat enjoy this feeling.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Deming quickly stood up and ran over, squatting on the ground to check Zhou Wenxin's injury. Ma Guihong and Zhou Wenxiu also walked out of the bedroom.
"Are you... Wenxin okay? Where does it hurt? Show me to dad."
"Dad, oops... you dropped me to death, hiss... my back hurts so much... oops..."
"you……"
After Zhou Wenzhong came to his senses, he gasped slightly and replied: "Hey? What's wrong with me? I don't know what's going on. I don't know how I did this! You must believe me! Otherwise
How about this, I’ll call the big guys out again and brainstorm ideas for our family?”
"You...you...just go back to the house and stay."
"Hey. I'll go back to the house first. If you need anything, call me."
Without waiting for Zhou Deming to say another word, Zhou Wenzhong walked back to the room where he slept. He opened the quilt and lay down in it, resting his arms on his head and thinking about how to survive.
My predecessor graduated from junior high school, which is definitely enough in this era. I was originally preparing to take the high school entrance examination, but my parents deceived me, saying that my family had no money and I should focus on my younger siblings first. That's it, I dropped out of school and stayed at home.
Already.
I can only take one step at a time, but with my physique, I should still exercise well. I just threw someone who is 10 kilograms heavier than me, and I already feel a little out of breath, and my body and bones are really bad. By the way, it seems like today
Haven't signed in yet.
"Sign in!"
[Ding…Sign in successfully! Today’s reward is 2 cornmeal steamed buns and 1 cent in cash. It has been put into the storage space now.]
"Wow, you make money with blood. Haha."
Zhou Wenzhong is no longer able to complain about this system.
I took out the cornmeal steamed buns from the storage space, and they were still steaming hot! I weighed them in my hands and estimated that each steamed bun weighed three ounces. I just covered myself with the quilt, lay down in bed and ate it.
Don't worry about any grudges, the previous life is gone. All the debts have been paid off. I didn't come here to work as a horse for your family. I just rented to live in your house and gave you more or less rent.
That's it. At most, add the food expenses. If you feel that you are losing money, then you can climb to the top of the department store, head down, and go down to find the real "Zhou Wenzhong" in person to ask for it.
For now, it's good to have something to eat now. The cornmeal steamed buns are quite nice, and picky eaters don't exist.
Zhou Wenzhong currently has to face another problem besides having enough to eat. That is being sent to the countryside by his original father. If he is lucky, he can stay in the outer suburbs. If he is not lucky, then he will be lucky.
As of the late 1970s, only households in four urban districts in Beijing were considered urban households. What I hate the most is when someone shouts: Once you reach the second ring road, you will reach the countryside! Can you accurately determine the location?
The urban districts with urban household registration are: Dongcheng District, Xuanwu District, Xicheng District, and Chongwen District.
At the same time, the surrounding villages are called suburbs.
Suburbs are further divided into outer suburbs and inner suburbs.
The outer suburbs are: Daxing District, Changping, Miyun, Pinggu, Huairou, Tongxian, Yanqing, Mentougou, and Fangshan.
The nearby suburbs are: Chaoyang District, Haidian District, Shijingshan District, and Fengtai District.
Rural people in the suburbs grow vegetables to provide vegetable supply to the city.
Food, including wheat, corn, rice, etc., is grown in rural areas and plains in the outer suburbs to provide food supply for the city.
But regardless of whether they are far or near, the household registers of these people all read: Rural household registration in a certain district in the capital city.
Most villagers in mountainous areas grow fruits and coarse grains, and some also raise livestock for a living.
Comprehensive comparison, the superiority of urban household registration living conditions is obvious. They also enjoy educational resources and medical security.
………………
If you want to stay here, you must either have a formal job or be a student. If you cannot meet these two conditions, then I'm sorry!
Zhou Wenzhong must do one of these things. This question is really difficult. Today's night schools are better said to be literacy classes, and their characteristic symbol is a sign similar to a "horse lantern". This is a night school.
ps: There are no self-taught technical schools in this era!!! There are only literacy classes!!!
The existence of night schools is for literacy, that is, literacy classes. Almost all students are village women. They do not issue diplomas and do not participate in any junior high school or high school courses.
Evening schools run by factories only teach a small amount of skills to factory employees or their families, but they do not issue certificates.
If you are an illiterate farmer brother, after studying in a literacy class for more than half a year, you will have a certain cultural foundation, and you will have a good job when you return to the village. You can return to the village to work as a scorer or newspaper reader. There is no need to go to the fields.
If you work hard, you can earn 10 work points a day. As for how much each work point is worth? It depends on how the commune calculates it at the end of the year. Basically, it is 2.5-4%.
If you work as a scorekeeper and earn 10 work points for working hard every day, plus the benefit of more than an acre of your own land, the maximum number of work points in the whole year is 4,400. Only after the food is paid can the price be calculated. If each work point is 3%,
The whole family earned 13 yuan this year. 2. No more buying? No more consumption?
It's very hard in the countryside, and you can earn work points if you are over 12 years old. Young and middle-aged laborers can earn 9-10 work points per person per day.
Each female labor force basically works 6-7 minutes per day.
Minors are considered part-time laborers and can earn 3-4 work points a day.
Some communes deliberately make things difficult for others, requiring them to go to the fields three times a day, and the work points each time are not uniform...
Farm slack? There is no slack at all. Cleaning rivers, mowing grass, killing rats... can all be counted as work points.
"The sea can dry up, the stone can rot, and the production team will never be able to earn enough work points."
Some people are so tired that they want to go out and do odd jobs, building houses for others, digging stones, or burning lime. Suppose you earn 1 yuan a day? You have to pay at least 7.5 cents to the team to supplement your own expenses.
Work points.
This approach of the Brigade Commune is a two-way charge, and the difference is quite large.
These days, as long as the educated youth jump in the queue to go to the countryside, if they are given another chance, absolutely no one will want to go to the countryside.
The most miserable places are undoubtedly some places, such as the Northeast on the map. Someone once said: You can grow rice in winter. Then go ahead! Many educated youth have their feet frozen off when they work in winter!
Therefore, Zhou Wenzhong’s primary goal is to get a job!
If you have a job, you can register independently. Having a job means that you don't have to spend money to see a doctor. Nowadays, these hospitals are directly linked to the factory. You can go in directly with a triplicate book. Even if it is an amputation surgery, you will only have to pay a few yuan at most.
You may pay a few cents out of your own pocket, or the working committee may send someone directly to contact the hospital.
The iron rice bowl for workers is not something you talk about casually, but the work in factories in the capital is still incomparable to factories in the Northeast.
If the work of Yi Zhonghai's steel rolling mill is an iron rice bowl, then those factories in the Northeast are golden rice bowls.
People across the country understand this truth. Starting in the second half of 1959, there was a nationwide food shortage and natural disasters struck.
The disasters nationwide are mainly concentrated in Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Heilongjiang and other places.
In 1960, the disaster continued to expand, with the affected area reaching more than 900 million acres nationwide. A total of only 1.6 billion acres of cultivated land accounted for more than half.
Severe droughts continued to break out in the north. After 1961, severe droughts spread to the Huaihe River, Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, and the three major grain-producing areas of Henan, Hebei and Shandong. Wheat output dropped by 50% from the lowest level in the previous year.
This is a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster is: serious to the left.
Under this double pressure, people can no longer hold on anymore, so they should run away. Many people think they are running to the capital, but this is not true. The "holy places" in the hearts of the victims are Northeast China and Jiangxi.
One is to take root in the Northeast, where there is more arable land and more factories. If you are lucky, you can get a golden job.
People who go to Jiangxi want to eat. In fact, before liberation, very few people in Jiangxi were hungry, most of them had enough to eat, and every household had rice wine.
The people of Jiangxi have donated 4.2 billion kilograms of food in more than two years! Blood transfusions for the whole country!
After liberation, the whole country worked together to form a rope and vigorously engage in industry. This led to the establishment of a food plan. The people of Jiangxi lived a life of eating porridge.
And between the two, there is a guiding event.
It was in 1957 that the Big Brother State stopped investing. It wasn't that the experts withdrew, but that it stopped investing because certain things had not been agreed upon.
If every country wants to enter industrialization, there will be an insurmountable historical stage called the primitive accumulation of capital in industrialization.
From 1950, Big Brother began to invest, and heavy industry was formed as soon as it was invested.
But! After Big Brother gave up the Zhongchang Railway, Luda Special Administrative Region, and Lushunkou Military Port in 1957, Big Brother put forward conditions: I can continue to invest, but you have to jointly establish a navy and air force with me. This means: I want to
Interfere with your sovereignty.
The result can be imagined, of course they refused. Then starting from 1957, industrialization was stopped. Once the sovereign country stopped investing, it would cause big problems among the masses. What problem?
Therefore, the People's Commune was established in 1958. The commune has a militia regiment. The brigade has a militia battalion. The squad has a militia company. All the labor force has been concentrated on a large scale and invested in infrastructure construction, whether it is building reservoirs, building roads, or building roads.
Or for large-scale construction, all labor will be used to replace zero capital with large-scale labor.
From the current point of view, people can still escape from the village, town, county, or city? I don't know. It's January 1960. Anyway, they will definitely not be able to escape in another six months.
The general who liked to drink Maotai secretly mobilized military rations and transported them to his hometown in Henan for disaster relief.
………………
Let's get back to the subject. Even if there is a place to go to school now, Zhou Wenzhong, who came from a later time, would not go at all. This is not the material for learning at all, and it is probably not as solid as the foundation of his predecessor.
Currently, we are facing all kinds of difficulties. Every question is so difficult. I can be said to be the most difficult time traveler. Although I have parents, I am not even as good as Liu Haizhong and his wife.
"Crunch..."
Zhou Wenzhong's thoughts were interrupted as the door to the bedroom was pushed open.
Zhou Wenxin walked in, rubbing his shoulders. He first looked at Zhou Wenzhong's bed, but did not speak.
My parents have already told me not to make trouble with the boss. The boss will start working tomorrow to earn money for himself. Besides, I can’t beat him. He is only 1 year older than me. Why are you so cruel? Sigh.
With a sigh of relief, he walked to his bed, kicked off his shoes and lay down in it.
Zhou Wenzhong also finished eating his steamed buns in bed and reached out to touch his arms and legs. They were really thin. After thinking about it, he put on his shoes and went to the floor.
"What are you going to do, boss? It's too late to make a living."
"Go to the bathroom outside. My dear brother, do you want to come with me?"
"No... no no, I'm tired. I'm going to bed first, please be quieter."
"Um."
Zhou Wenzhong opened the drawer of his desk, took out a wooden ruler, opened the door and walked out.
In the front yard, Zhou Wenzhong came to a corner, put his hand on top of his head, and made a mark on the wall.
Holding the 20cm ruler in my hand, I turned it over and measured it 4 times, and concluded that after taking off my shoes, my height was 1.66 meters.
The height of a 15-year-old is very standard in this era. But in later generations, coupled with his weight of about 80 kilograms, it can be said that it is hard to describe.
Wandering in the front yard, I came to the south wall of my house, which is 6 or 7 meters away from the courtyard wall of the inverted house. This is the location of the verandah. I don’t know why the veranda was demolished, and now it is an open space.
Standing next to a locust tree, I remember that there was no scene of this tree in the TV series?
Zhou Wenzhong looked up at the thick branches. The locust tree is very particular.
Some people think that the locust tree is a ghost tree and is ominous. Willows are not planted in the front and poplars are not planted in the back...
Some people think that if there is a locust tree in front of their door, they will get promoted and make a fortune.
Zhou Wenzhong determined that the purpose of this locust tree is to eat! The bark is edible, and the locust flowers are even more edible, and they are delicious! Or maybe the purpose of this tree is to facilitate Qin Huairu in naming his daughter.
Slap your palms twice, jump your legs, put your hands on a low branch, swing, and do pull-ups.
"Uh...sigh."
I tried my best and couldn't even do a pull-up. I was really in poor physical condition. I shook my head and returned home, lifted the quilt and lay down.
I was complaining in my heart: "What evil have I done! Let me come here! Alas'~`
Farewell, my [Sands Harbor] membership card!
Farewell, my [Haizunle] membership card!
Farewell, my [Yu Hibiscus] membership card!
Farewell, my [Linxian Pavilion] membership card!
Farewell, my [Jiang Nanchun] membership card!
You must remember that there once was a man named Zhou Wenzhong, who used oil on his back every time...
The last scene in Zhou Wenzhong's mind was in front of the bar of "Dihao Bath". The lady at the counter was holding her mobile phone and paying 20,000 yuan to recharge the card.
The two delicate technicians beside her were still crying in their ears, which probably meant:
My father bets my mother that my sick brother is studying, but he is not yet familiar with it.
My brothers and sisters all depend on me. My family is in trouble and I have to pay off debts.
My ex-husband was a victim of domestic violence and I had no income to take care of my children.
From now on, I am on the road of no return. I hope my elder brother will take more care of me.
I just want to pay off my debt quickly and go home to open a nail salon...
After hearing this, Zhou Wenzhong was very touched and immediately asked the front desk lady to refund the money immediately! This is a shady store!!!
In the process of pushing and shoving with a group of young ladies, I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I came here, the famous "Chop Suey Courtyard".
Maybe it was because he had been hungry for so many days, and he suddenly had such a full meal today that he had food in his stomach. Or maybe it was because he had just beaten his younger brother hard. Zhou Wenzhong closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.
