I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 52 52. The first set of RMB

   Zhang Youxin looked at the ballpoint pen in Wang Yi's hand and asked expectantly, "Is this a foreign automatic pen from the Shanghai Office Products Fair?"

   Wang Yi said: "It should be."

Zhang Youxin asked in surprise: "Today, our colleagues discussed when we saw the introduction of this newspaper. This kind of pen is very suitable for our work. It can be retracted with one click and taken out with one click, but my colleague said that this kind of pen has just entered the exhibition. Yes, it hasn't been sold yet."

  Wang Yi said: "Look at this advertisement, there are automatic pens abroad, and now there are some abroad. I have a classmate who has entered the embassy to work. This is a small gift from the foreign staff."

   Now this kind of ball-point pen has appeared just right, so there is no need to be suspected.

   He made a nonsense that made Zhang Youxin and Wang Xianghong look at each other subconsciously.

  There are classmates in the embassy...

   Zhang Youxin asked: "Your classmate can work in the embassy, ​​how can you get back to our outer islands? This is too, hehe."

He was embarrassed to say what happened after   .

   When people eat hot pot, do you adjust the hot pot base? People take the train and you repair the train tracks?

  Wang Yi said plainly: "I went back to the outer islands in the hope that one day in the future, there will be children in our outer islands who can enter the embassy to work."

  Wang Xianghong immediately burst into tears - Wang Yi found out that the old comrade really liked this trick.

   Zhang Youxin also ate it. He said with admiration: "Comrade Wang Yi, your ideological awareness is too high, I need to learn from you."

  Wang Yi waved his hand low-key.

   No one suspected that he could not enter the embassy, ​​so he was stubborn!

   People of this age are really simple.

   And always put people in the best interest.

   Looking at the two ballpoint pens, Zhang Youxin scratched his ears embarrassedly: "Actually, I came to thank you this time, how can I get gifts from you again?"

  Wang Yi secretly thought that you said this because you wanted this gift?

He hung the ballpoint pen in the pocket of his work clothes, handed it over and said, "You're welcome, you also said that this automatic pen is very beneficial to your work, so you can use it. Besides, I still have it. My classmate gave it to me. A box."

   Zhang Youxin felt welcome when he heard this, he said enviously, "It's nice to have college students."

   Wang Xianghong asked: "You said you came to Mr. Wang to thank you? What's wrong?"

Zhang Youxin became happy and said: "Two days ago, Mr. Wang gave me a lighter to my relatives, and my relatives liked it very much. At that time, the leader of our post and telecommunications system happened to be there. He praised me a few times, and then I was transferred. , started to run to our outer islands."

As he said that, he punched Wang Yi in the chest: "I will be responsible for your village in the future. If you have a classmate who sends you something, let me know and I will bring it back to you, or you can say anything you need in the county town. Say, Teacher Wang, don't be polite to me!"

  Wang Yi asked curiously: "Start running to the outer islands? You mean, you want to send emails to the outer islands now? Is this a good job?"

Zhang Youxin said: "Of course, isn't it a good job to have direct contact with the masses, serve the masses, and be in charge of front-line work? And my salary has also been raised by one level, from the 24th level of a clerk to the 23rd level. I can spend 50 yuan a month!"

   Wang Yi understood the meaning of the latter half of the sentence, but he did not understand the first half of the sentence.

   Could it be that Zhang Youxin is also very conscious, so he thinks it is a good job to send emails to each village brigade?

   Zhang Youxin looked at his watch and said, "I'm working for the first time today, so I can't continue talking. I'll invite you to drink later."

   He asked Wang Xianghong to sit down, put on his overalls and started the boat to leave.

   The diesel engine roared, he picked up another big bag and threw it to Wang Yi.

  Wang Yi took a look.

   A big bag of jiang rice sticks.

  The bag is not a plastic bag, but a wax paper bag with the words 'Wengzhou Jiefang Food Factory' and 'a long history, high-quality food' printed on it.

  The diesel engine boat went away, and he went back with the rice sticks.

  The students held their trouser legs and tied their shoes with ropes around their necks. They were honestly picking up the big leaf seaweed, and they were picking them up very carefully.

   This surprised Wang Yi.

   He thought that the students would fight when they came to the beach, but he didn't expect to work so seriously.

   But seeing the jaggery sticks in his hand, the students didn't take it seriously. They turned their attention to the jaggery sticks and picked up the seaweed carelessly.

  Wang Yi tore open the wax paper bag and ate a rice stick with white sugar on it, which was very sweet and fragrant.

   This is a very classic snack that will be eaten from time to time in forty years.

   Zhang Youxin gave him a big bag of rice sticks, estimated to be two catties.

   He said to the students, "Everyone wipe your hands, come over to get a rice stick, and then work hard. After the labor class, I will give you the rice stick based on the number of seaweed you picked up."

  The students cheered: "Good! Good!"

   They didn't even bother to wipe their hands, those in the water ran over on the sea water, and those on the reef jumped over.

   Lao Huang looked up, then continued to lower his head to pick up the seaweed, picked up one and dragged it back.

  The students gathered around, Wang Yi divided the rice sticks one by one, and he felt that it was not right to divide them: "Wang Zhuangyuan, didn't I give it to you just now?"

   Wang Zhuangyuan said with a smile on his face: "I must be the one who picks up the most seaweed. I'll prepay my quacks first."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "You will definitely be beaten by your father in the future, so do you want to pay in advance?"

   Wang Zhuangyuan was so frightened that he hurried away.

   When the students got the Jiangmi strips, they didn’t chew them and eat them, but put them in their mouths as candy.

   With the encouragement of jiang rice sticks, the enthusiasm of the students to pick up seaweed increased.

   Wang Zhuangyuan's work is really hard to say. He picks up the fastest and the most, and he dares to go into the water.

  With him taking the lead, the older students all started to go into the water.

   Wang Yi was speechless as he watched the surging waves, and he hurriedly called these students up.

   There are not too many seaweeds on the reef beach, but there are many crabs, clams and fish and shrimps in the crevices.

   Wang Zhuangyuan lifted a rock and suddenly raised a crab the size of his palm: "Three-eyed crab, Teacher Wang, look at this head, do you want it?"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes."

   Wang Zhuangyuan thief smiled: "Then this has to be used as a seaweed!"

  Wang Yi also smiled: "Okay, and I'll give you a large amount of preferential treatment, three swimming crabs can act as two seaweeds!"

   Wang Zhuangyuan was elated: "Okay!"

   Several students shouted: "Catch crabs!"

  Wang Xinzhao listened to their words with a blank expression: Why do I feel that something is wrong?

   They circled the island along the coast, and when they reached the northwest corner, they saw the small outlying island where the four groups were located across the sea.

  There are dozens of seaweed houses scattered on the island.

   An old man stood at the end of the outlying island near Tianya Island and looked at the child.

  Wang Yi nodded politely at him, and the old man walked away with a straight face.

   He felt strange. At this time, Wang Xinmi asked, "Mr. Wang, do you want the prawns? Jiwei prawns."

  Wang Yi said: "Also."

  Wang Xinmi ran into the water and picked up a small bamboo cage, in which several large and small prawns were bouncing, all of which were Jiwei prawns.

   He said, "This is the prawn cage that my father came down to this morning. There are chicken intestines in it. I knew that I would definitely catch a lot of prawns."

  The labor class became a rush to the sea. They were busy from one o'clock to three-thirty, and finally Wang Yi returned with a cage of crabs and shrimp...

   After returning to count the number of people, Wang Yi fulfilled his promise and distributed all the Jiangmi strips to the students.

  Wang Zhuangyuan got the Jiangmi strip and hurriedly stuffed one into his mouth, and distributed the rest to his younger brother's leather shoes and his younger sister's flower shoes, who were unable to attend the labor class.

  Wang Yi remembered their nicknames and asked, "Wang Zhuangyuan, what's your nickname?"

   Wang Zhuangyuan said: "Straw sandals!"

   Wang Yi nodded.

   is a style with bold names.

After    came back, he dismissed the students from school, and then the members also left work.

   I left work early today because I want to buy cheap food.

   The cheap food without food stamps is like a treasure for the members.

  Listening to the warehouse next to Taoju lined up, a group of people happily discussed:

   "Is there really cheap food? It's good to distribute cheap food every year."

   "It was bought by Mr. Wang's relationship. College students are still good, it's a relationship."

   "College students must be good, I heard that Teacher Wang spends 100 yuan a month!"

   "One hundred yuan? Leaders are only one hundred yuan, right? How can you spend so much?"

   "If you have a daughter-in-law, you will spend it. Teacher Wang doesn't have a partner, right? Now that's all right, my sister doesn't have a partner either..."

  Wang Yi was too busy, so he asked Wang Dongxi and Liu Hongmei to weigh in, and Wang Xinzhao volunteered to help.

   So he asked Wang Xinzhao, Wang Ugly Cat and the two eldest children to pack food and settle the accounts and collect the money.

   Don't ask how much to buy, Wang Dongxi has already allocated the quota according to the situation of each family in the team.

  Wang Yi brought a lot of food this time. A hard worker can get 20 catties of food, and a child can get 5 catties.

  These rations won't last for a few days, but they can last a while if they are mixed with kelp and seaweed.

  Women and old people bought food and left happily. Wang Dongxi shouted: "The grinding discs are all used tightly. Every household should pay attention. Those who are not short of food will let the ones who are short of food first."

  Wang Yi brought back a lot of corn, which had to be ground into corn meal with a grinding disc.

   He remembered that he also had cornmeal here. It was given to him by Wang Dongfeng on the first day he came to school.

   It happened that he saw Huang Xiaohua, the captain's wife who was frowning.

  Huang Xiaohua led the child to wipe away tears.

  Wang Yi understood what she meant. She wanted to gain some sympathy and find a way to get food rations for the family.

   has a share in her family, but it can't be given in vain, otherwise people will be confused when the news spreads.

  The ancients said it is good, not to suffer from a few but to suffer from unevenness.

Wang Yi beckoned to her and said, "Sister-in-law, I still have 20 catties of cornmeal here, and 50 catties of sorghum rice for your family. You should keep the accounts first, and let my elder brother come to settle the accounts when the work points are paid. ."

Huang Xiaohua wiped away her tears and said, "They all blame me, they all blame me, if I wasn't gullible, my family wouldn't have to, I wouldn't have to owe foreign debts! I just took out foreign debts last year, and I managed to get 50 yuan out of my teeth! "

   "All blame me, all blame me!"

   "My life is bad, my ingredients are bad, my life is bad..."

  Wang Yi comforted her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't say that, as long as the people are at home, everything is there. You can earn more money when you run out of money. Don't think about it because you don't have any money!"

   "We still have money at home," said the captain's youngest son, Wang Fengshou.

  Huang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, Fifth."

   She explained to Wang Yi again: "The house really has no money, it's clean, but there is some old money."

   "When I got married, my family was not good enough, and I was short of food and money, so I used the old money left by my elders to press the bottom of the box for me. It's better to look good than empty hands."

   Hearing this, Wang Yi was refreshed: "Old money? Is it ancient coins?"

  Huang Xiaohua said: "No, it's the money after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has long been forbidden to be used. I have inquired about it, and the bank will not exchange it. It stopped in six or more years."

  Wang Yi was interested: "You mean the first set of RMB?"

  Huang Xiaohua said, "Really? We don't know the number of sets, anyway, it's been banned for a long time."

  Wang Yi asked, "Is the amount of money in your family very large? Thousands of dollars per piece of money?"

  Huang Xiaohua said: "Well, yes, I used this kind of money when I was a child, and then the bank collected it, and it was 10,000 yuan for one piece."

  Wang Yi said: "Then you bring it to me, and I will also charge you 10,000 yuan for one piece!"
