Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside

After Han Li changed the subject, the curious people turned their ears back.

Now, if Yu Daqiang wants to get married, his job at the People's Fine Arts Printing Factory and his own separate room at home are the conditions.

If his family is allowed to go out, there will be a lot of young women in Sijiu City who have returned to the city and have no jobs and are willing to marry him. The matchmaker will be able to cross the threshold of his family, and he can choose the beautiful and beautiful ones among these people. Beauty from IKEA.

However, Yu Daqiang's situation is a bit special. One of his cousins ​​​​married a female educated youth who could not bear the hardship of facing the loess and turning her back to the sky in the countryside. She had to return to the city due to illness.

After the two got married, life at home became increasingly difficult, and eventually they had constant quarrels, with the couple having a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.

If Yu Daqiang's cousin casually mentioned divorce today, his wife's brothers would give him a severe beating the next day.

My cousin was beaten because of a quarrel between husband and wife. When my cousin found out, he had to help him regain his face. At the very least, he had to ask his cousin's family to give him an explanation.

It's okay to have this happen once or twice, but no one expected that it would become a routine, which gave Yu Daqiang and several uncles' help a headache.

The marriage situation of Yu Daqiang's cousin made him and his family exclude young women who returned to the city from the bottom of their hearts. The candidates for Yu Daqiang's blind date and marriage must be those girls who stayed in Sijiu City and had jobs.

However, the working girls who were able to stay in Forty-Nine City had either extraordinary family conditions or outstanding personal abilities.

These two types of people, no matter which one they are, will basically not consider ordinary workers like Yu Daqiang when they are looking for a partner or getting married. Occasionally, someone introduces Yu Daqiang to someone who despises his unattractive appearance.

In the past two or three years, many female educated youths who have returned to the city have found jobs. However, as people's conditions change, their vision will also change. When choosing a blind date or marriage partner, the conditions of the other party have also improved.

Especially those good-looking girls, they all hope that they can marry well.

Yu Daqiang's current situation is that those good-looking girls with jobs look down on him, and he looks down on those ordinary-looking girls, so the two are delayed.

During this period, Han’s mother also helped Yu Daqiang introduce many people to her, but due to various reasons, it didn’t work out in the end.

Han Li and Yu Daqiang grew up and went to school together. At that time, their social circles were basically the same.

Later, Han Li went to the countryside to join the team, and Yu Daqiang stayed in Sijiu City to work. Over the years, he had not met as many girls in Sijiu City as Yu Daqiang.

In recent years, Han Li has been busy going to school and going abroad. Coupled with his dislike of going out to socialize, he basically has no time to expand his social circle.

This also caused the social distance between the two people to further widen. Even Han’s mother couldn’t handle Yu Daqiang’s current situation, let alone someone with a narrow social circle like Han Li, so even if he wanted Introducing a partner to Fa Xiao is also unreasonable.

To be honest, Han Li knew some female classmates at Yan University who often came to attend classes.

Regardless of appearance, it is impossible for those proud women to set their sights on Yu Daqiang, an ordinary worker who graduated from high school. If Han Li opens his mouth to be the introducer, he may end up being a double-dealer.

Therefore, Han Li could only give verbal encouragement and enlightenment to Fa Xiao's current marriage situation, as well as silent blessings in his heart.

After everyone had reached this point in their conversation, Qian Guodong posted a story that caught Han Li's attention.

When Qian Guodong just finished junior high school, he stopped going to school to take over because his father was injured at work.

The conditions at home in their factory are not very good, but recently, for those who want to talk to someone and want to buy something big, such as a bicycle or a watch, to show off, several of them have resorted to the pre-Liberation "housekeeping" style.

But it's not exactly the same as Limen's. It's a bit like a "mutual aid association" composed of various units, but it's not the same as a mutual aid association.

These people call this "raising the meeting". First of all, these people choose a "hui leader" or "hui leader". They have only two rules.

The first one requires everyone to be frugal, start by banning smoking and alcohol, and supervise each other not to spend money indiscriminately. The money saved can be used in the second one.

The second one is to "collect money". Everyone puts the saved money together and uses the money to help each other. When the time comes, you can use the money to buy things or pay off debts. .

Of course, the salaries of these people are similar, and there are certain requirements for the amount of money each person can raise each month.

I can’t save 20 yuan a month and you can save 5 yuan a month. In the end, how much everyone has to contribute each month is discussed at the beginning.

As the organizer and initiator, the "head of the meeting" does not need to contribute money in the first month, and the money collected for the first time needs to be used by him first.

When the time comes to the second month, the "head of the meeting" gathers everyone together. He does not need to pay back the last money all at once, but organizes everyone to collect money again according to last month's share.

Whoever needs the money the most this month will give it to him to use. If he doesn't need it much, then the "head of the meeting" will designate a person to use it.

When the time reaches the third month, the situation will still be the same as last month. The "Hui Shou" will pay back a little money according to his own situation, and then give the money collected by everyone to the third person for use.

This situation will continue until the last person among them has used the money they have collected.

At this time, the "head of the association" will also pay back the money he owes according to the date. Generally, the "association" organized by these people will automatically disband.

But there are special cases, such as when one of them is in urgent need of some money, this situation may last a little longer.

In this situation of these people, under the banner of saving money, mutual assistance, and gradually improving life, neither the unit leaders nor the street office will care.

But now some people use the same method to collect money, but those who do not need to join are required to quit smoking and drinking, which makes Qian Guodong, who originally wanted to join, feel uneasy.

Han Li also felt uneasy when he heard this, because he seemed to have read an article about some things that happened in Dongou and Lucheng, Zhejiang Province in the mid-1980s in his previous life.

Although Han Li did not remember the details of the process, he remembered that after that incident, the superiors directly prohibited any form of association in any place.

That situation is also defined as F, Fa, fundraising.
