Back in the courtyard, Wang Ye looked at his home carefully.This is a first-in-class courtyard house. The original owner of the house was a spy. He was brought to justice three years ago, and the house was naturally confiscated.

Wang Tiezhu was also far-sighted at the time and spent a huge amount of money (1,250 yuan) to buy three main rooms and two side rooms.Although the cost is huge, this courtyard house is located in the city center and has a large area. It is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Grandma Li’s family lives in the west wing and the west wing.Grandpa Li was a veteran who changed his job and returned to his hometown and entered the police station.Five years ago, he died heroically in an operation to catch a spy. Later, his son Li Wei took over and naturally became a glorious people's policeman.

After five years of hard work and with the influence of Grandpa Li, Uncle Li finally reached the position of director of the police station in his area.Including Aunt Li and her son and daughter, there are a family of five.Grandma Li also has a daughter, Li Min, who works in a textile factory and got married three years ago.

Uncle Liu’s family lives in the east wing. The old Liu family is very powerful, with four sons in the family.The person who lives in the house in the east is Grandpa Zhao. I heard that he is an old Red Army soldier. He is now working as a gatekeeper at the steel rolling mill. He has no children and is a lonely old man.

Wang Ye walked into the main house. There were still some old-fashioned furniture in the house, exuding a simple atmosphere.The sunlight shines through the window paper onto the ground, forming patches of light.

After a while, Wang Tiezhu and Grandpa Zhao returned to the courtyard together.Wang Tiezhu walked into the main room, took off his work clothes and hung them on the hanger behind the door.

"My dear daughter, do you miss your daddy?" Wang Tiezhu said as he took the little girl in Wang Ye's arms.I don’t know why, but 99% of families in this era prioritize children over daughters.Wang Ye's family didn't know what was going on. The daughter was Bao'er and the son seemed to be picked up on the street.

"Stop making trouble, hurry up and get the bowl to eat." Qin Wan's voice came from the kitchen.

The dinner was so sumptuous that Wang Ye wanted to cry.Each person has a bowl of battered wild vegetable sticks, and each person has a small steamed bun made of unknown noodles.The only difference is that there are two Wang Tiezhu, and there is a small bowl of pickles in the middle of the table.

Wang Ye thought: "How full is this? I'm not bragging, I can eat ten of these big steamed buns."

"Imagination is very full, reality is very skinny."After taking the first bite, Wang Ye regretted it. This thing made his throat sore.Looking at the wowotou in my hand, there is no oil in the dish.Phew, these pickles are worthy of being called vegetables.Eat it, grit your teeth and eat it. If you don't eat it, Wang Ye will be the first in the army to travel through time for a day.

With tears in my eyes, I finished eating the steamed buns in my hand, and held my breath as I drank the wild vegetable paste from the bowl.Then, and then nothing more.If you still want to eat, think about it, think hard, you will have everything in your dreams.

For today’s housewives, it is unlikely that you can cook delicious food.If you say it's done just right, then it's perfect.If you are told to eat half full, I will never let you eat half full.

Wang Ye’s family has a total of five people, because it is a city that has been moving forward for ten years.His parents had an urban registered permanent residence, and Wang Ye had a rural registered permanent residence. They wanted to get more land, but who knew they would later establish a cooperative.Wang Ye's household registration was stuck, and he had to have a job if he wanted to go to the city.

The younger brother and sister were born in the city, so they have urban household registration directly.Some people may ask, how come there were school district housing in the 1960s?No, this really doesn’t exist, but the most important thing is that only those with urban household registration have a grain book, so they can buy rations of grain.

The monthly supply standard for adults is usually between 25 and a half kilograms and 32 kilograms.People who are engaged in heavy physical labor, such as high temperature, underground work, etc., need about 40 to 49 pounds per month; light physical workers are 29 to 39 pounds; agency, group workers and mental workers are 27 to 32 pounds.

The supply standard for middle school students is 28 to 30 kilograms, and the supply for children decreases according to age group. Children under three years old are supplied with 6 to 11 kilograms per month.

Less?Where is this?The latest notice this year is that the quota has been reduced.Wang Ye's current situation: father's 35 catties + mother's 24 catties + younger brother's 15 catties + younger sister's 6 catties, a total of 80 catties, an average of 0.53 catties per person per day.With half a catty of grain a day, let alone being full, I would be thankful if I didn’t starve to death.

It’s summer now, and there aren’t many entertainment options in this era. The only way to relax after eating is to enjoy the cool weather outside.Wang Ye's family walked out of the gate together.

Wang Tiezhu strolled to the chess stall, which was also a rare way of leisure and entertainment.Qin Wan and a group of women gathered together to chat and gossip.The younger brothers and sisters continue their great work of chasing away ants.Wang Ye sat on the steps at the door bored. Page (1/3)
