Chong Sheng 1977Nian Cong Zhi Qing Kai Shi

"If you can't go back, you can't go back, Brother Guangwei, don't look at me bringing so many things, but my family's conditions are not good, my family is in the alleys of the capital, and I live in a courtyard.

What is Hutong Chuanzi, Brother Li should know.

I still have a brother above me, someone has secured a matchmaker for him, and he is about to get married. Why do you have to move out of a new house after getting married?

But the house is such a big place, it is impossible to live there. Even if I go back, I don't have a place to spend the night. It's better to stay here. The world is vast and there is a lot to do. "

Nanyi's words were full of desolation and helplessness, except for Liu Zhen and Jiang Biyun, the others couldn't empathize with them.

When it comes to the cramped housing, the citizens of Shanghai who live in old bungalows have more say, but Ke Hongxing is not a petty citizen; the others are either high-ranking officials in their families, or they will not be poor in terms of housing space.

Just because they haven't experienced it doesn't mean they haven't imagined it.

Here, they are not several people who have to squeeze into the same nest. If the same sex lives, there will be a lot of friction. If men and women live together, and one of them is a husband and wife, how will everyone live?

Lin Guangwei patted Nanyi's arm, gave him an encouraging look, and said nothing.

After going out of the courtyard, digging out the sheepskin bag, and carrying the things, Nanyi went towards Xian Yaodong's house.

In the yard, Li Hai said there: "Let's not worry about Nanyi's things. This may be all the belongings he took from his family when he was separated."

"Brother Li, what is Hutong Chuanzi?"

"It's not a good word. It's about people who wander around the alleys with nothing to do. Nanyi said that, which means that the family's conditions are not good. Let me tell you, there are such large courtyards in the alleys of the capital. There may be a dozen or even dozens of households living in the courtyard.

A family may be more than ten square meters, seven to eight square meters. If there are many people in the family, it is really difficult to live. If someone in the family starts a family, there is an extra big child, and there will be a small child in the future, it will be even more difficult to live in.

Liu Zhen, did you and Nanyi take the initiative to come here to jump in line? I heard that now they are basically assigned to the suburbs, and they are rarely assigned to other places. "

"I'm not. My brother seems to be. I heard from the teacher that my brother signed up on his own initiative."

"That's it."

"Oh, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Lin Guangwei sighed.

Lai Jihua's ears were cocked, but his eyes still glanced at the net bag that Nanyi placed by the patio from time to time.

At Xian Yaodong's home, Nanyi told Xian Yaodong the same rhetoric again, and put forward his request to settle down.

"Uncle Xian, I don't want to embarrass you. You don't need to agree to me right now. Wait for me to stay here for a while and see how many work points I can earn a day. After the members accept me, we will talk about the settlement.

It's just that you have seen Liu Zhen become so thin. She is not sick. She has nothing to eat at home. She is often hungry and malnourished.

She must not be able to do heavy work, I would like to trouble you to find her a light job, cutting pigweed, how many work points per day here? "

"Six."

"Then help me arrange it. I work on twelve work points a day, and you still give me ten work points. At the end of the year, I will make up for Liu Zhen's shortfall. Do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, one of the pigweed mowers is Yaohua's daughter-in-law. She will soon go to the Five Star Canteen as a temporary worker. Although she is a temporary worker, she has become a working class worker. I can decide her position to Liu Zhen. .”

"Okay, then thank you Uncle Xian, you just wait and see how I perform."

Leaving Xian Yaodong's house, Nan Yi went back to the courtyard of the ancestral hall, looked at the Shanghai brand watch on his left wrist, lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, stared at the courtyard door, and waited slowly.

...

"Cuckoo, cluck!"

"Cuckoo fart, have you ever heard a cuckoo call at night?"

"I heard."

"..."

"Put down the sanitary napkins, and take the rest back to the city and put them in my room."

"What's wrong, the plan has changed?"

"Just now I pretended to be poor, and if I take Hua Zi out now, that's self-defeating."

"Okay, then I'll take it back."

Men San'er untied the binding rope on the schoolbag rack, took out two boxes of sanitary napkins, and tied the rest back.

"Master Nan, I just bought this car today, and I put it in your house, so it's convenient for you to use."

"Okay, hurry up with the black market. Also, help me find out if there are any houses for sale. If the house is good, buy it. If you like it, you can buy a few houses yourself."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Go, be careful on the road."

Nan Yi and Men San'er actually visited Bao'an a few days ago, and bought a house here. They were in a hurry and didn't have much time to explore slowly.

Otherwise, Nanyi will definitely buy a few more sets.

Don't think that there are houses without private property rights in this era, in fact, there are.

Generally, the house that belonged to your family before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and you have the deed in your hand, as long as you are not a landlord and old fortune, you are not subject to liquidation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country still recognizes the deed in your hand. If you go to the housing management office to change the book, the house is still yours.

The property rights of this kind of house are private, and individuals have the right to buy and sell. This is fundamentally different from the house allocated by the state.

For example, those large courtyards in the capital are allocated by the state. Before the housing reform, the property rights belonged to the state, and individuals only had the right to live and no right to buy or sell.

Nanyi took the sanitary napkin back, and there was another commotion at the female educated youth's side.

Sanitary belts are covered with straw paper, and some even use plant ash. Women with more or less gynecological diseases have never seen such softness and care before.

Well, relatives here or not, everyone sleeps on a mattress tonight.

Liu Zhen slept soundly and sweetly.

It's great to have this brother here, who helped me think of everything.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Nanyi carefully got up from the bed, folded the thin blanket into tofu cubes, took his own washbasin, teacup, lunch box, and towel, and took out two eggs from the net bag, a bag of white sugar wrapped in oiled paper, and a Bao Mian, quietly walked into the yard.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, and rinse your teacup when you're done.

At this time, it is unlikely to have a special dental cup. Basically, one cup can conquer the world, and one dozen can last a lifetime.

Like the cup in Nanyi's hand, there is also a red letter on it: Reward for more than half of the production of the Second Chemical Plant.

Start a fire, put water on the lead pot [although it is called a lead pot, but it is actually made of aluminum], search around, but can't find a steamer, so Nanyi made a missing corner of a green brick from the side and put it in the pot.

Knock both eggs into a teacup, open the oiled paper bag and pour some sugar into it, mix well with chopsticks, then add some warm water from the thermos.

Arrange the chopsticks horizontally and vertically on the blue bricks, sit the teacup on it, and cover it with a lid.

After burning eight straw handles, Nanyi opened the lid of the pot, put the noodles into the pot, stirred it, picked it up when the noodles became soft, and put the lid on the pot again.

Add some warm water to the lunch box, blanch the noodles, add the seasoning, pour warm water on it, and cover the lunch box.

After adding a straw handle to the firepit, Nan Yi knocked on the door of the female educated youth's room.

Knock knock!

"Liu Zhen, get up."

The knocking on the door was very soft, and the shouting was also very soft.

If there is no accident, it will only wake up Liu Zhen alone.

It is very unlikely that you will be able to put yourself into a deep sleep when you are new to a new place.

Even if there were such people, Liu Zhen would definitely not be included.

Crunch, "Brother!"

"Hurry up and wash up. I'll make noodles for you. After eating, I'll teach you how to cut pigweed."

"Um."

After tidying herself up properly, Liu Zhen walked to the side of Nanyi, opened the lunch box, "Brother, is there only so much?"

"You are alone, I will have breakfast with other people later."

Open the lid of the pot, quickly take out the teacup, put it on the stove, twist the earlobe with hot fingers...

Rinse the lead pot clean, wash the rice, add water, and cook thick porridge.

He lit the fire and waited for Liu Zhen to finish eating the noodles. In less than 20 minutes, Nanyi put the tongs into the firepit, hugged him, smashed the flames into sparks, and pulled some ashes on the sparks, only a small piece was exposed.

The porridge in the pot was half-cooked, and the remaining sparks and heat in the firepit were enough to cook the porridge thoroughly.

"Fill a glass of water and bring both teacups with you. If you haven't done farm work, you'll get tired soon. If you're tired, just take a few sips of the sugar-watered eggs in the teacup."

"Um."

Nanyi took Liu Zhen to the river in Wenchangwei, walked along the river bank, missed a section of pier with a green embankment, and soon came to the area of ​​the mud dam.

"Look carefully, the dense grass in the river is revolutionary grass, and the ones on the side are water hyacinths. Today I will help you go down to fish, but tomorrow you will have to pull it to the bank with a rake."

Said, Nanyi took off his coat, jumped into the water, and swam along the grass.

Pick up a handful of revolutionary grass, and pull it hard, until it becomes a big lump, and when it's almost done, drag it to the shore.

Repeatedly, pulling up three or five times, he reckoned it was about the same.

He went into the water again and dragged about 30 water hyacinths back to the shore.

"It is enough to feed a pig in one pig trough for a meal, and one or two water hyacinths in one trough. This number depends on whether the pig likes to eat it. Put more if you like it, and less if you don't like it.

There must be rice bran and wheat bran in the brigade. Chop the revolutionary grass and add rice bran and water hyacinth. Pigs like to eat it more.

If you see pigs with no appetite and little food, you'll have to mow that grass..."

Nan Yi pointed to a kind of grass on the river dam and said: "This is called vetch, and pigs like to eat it very much. There is also sweet potato vine, which pigs also like; but you have to listen to what Uncle Xian said, let you cut it." , you go to cut it again, if you don’t tell me, don’t go.”

"Um."

"Okay, put these here first, wait for the brigade to ring the bell to start work, I will take you to the third team, where we are assigned, the team leader is Xian Yaowei, the cashier of the brigade."
