Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

In mid-August, the era of food rationing and material tickets officially arrived.

Adults and children had different rations. People without urban hukou could only buy food at high prices.

The so-called high-priced grain is bought from the black market. No grain coupons are needed. No grain book is needed. Only money is accepted, but the price is 30% higher than that in the grain store.

In this era, you need a ticket to buy anything. Even if you want to buy a bicycle, you need not only a bicycle ticket, but also an industrial ticket.

From onion coupons to food coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, and cotton coupons, all the supplies closely related to life required coupons.

The cement tickets, wood tickets, brick tickets, paint and putty tickets for decoration materials.

Bath tickets, movie tickets, and haircut tickets.

In a word, no one wants to vote.

In a restaurant, if you want to eat meat dishes, you need meat coupons, grain coupons, and money before you can pay and get the food.

Nowadays, when you go out to buy things, you must not forget to bring various receipts and money, even if you forget your children.

Otherwise you will make a wasted trip and get scolded by the salesperson.

The rationed grain means that each household can only buy the specified amount of grain according to the number of people. There are both coarse grains and fine grains. Only urban residents are allowed to buy.

Another point worth mentioning is that women who used to be greedy for cheap things and refused to transfer their household registration to the city also married into the city.

People who occupy rural household registration and receive food every year do not have the rationed food in the city.

If the situation is better for the mother's family, the village will distribute some grain to them to ensure basic supplies.

When they meet their parents, they don't care about their life or death. Not to mention the distribution of food, they have to look at their eyes when they go back to their parents' home to eat.

Nowadays, children are registered according to their mother’s place of residence.

The mother has a rural household registration, so the child can only be registered in the rural area after birth.

If you want to get a city hukou, you have to find someone with connections. And the person you find has to have strong connections. Otherwise, the gifts you give are useless and a waste of money.

The Jia Zhang family next door was in trouble. In the beginning, Jia Zhang wanted to get the grain that Qin Huairu was given as a rural hukou, so she refused to let Qin Huairu transfer her hukou to the city.

As a result, both children have rural household registration and cannot even eat the designated grain, so they can only buy grain at a high price.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, the couple, complain about this every day.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu's salary was not low, so he could still afford the expensive food.

The living standards of the residents in the next yard are divided into several levels.

The first uncle, the second uncle, Tie Niu, and Sha Zhu are the richest group of people who live the most comfortable life.

Next are Xu Damao's family, Shui Gen's family, and two other families.

The next ones ordered were Qin Huairu’s house, the deaf old lady, and the third uncle’s house.

There are also several families in the backyard, including a family of orphans and a widow, two elderly people and three grandchildren.

The small villa of Li Shibai and Li Shilan does not count.

They have jobs, including three employees, one senior employee and two mid-level employees.

With a city hukou and the support of the Li family, his life is not that of an ordinary citizen.

Not to mention the Li family, the bill era only brought inconvenience to their lives. There was no other impact.

In the past, I only carried money when I went out, but now I have to carry some tickets as well.

If you want to know where Li Zihang's bills came from, don't be ridiculous, big capitalists! Every year, the industrial dividends are distributed according to the same level.

There is also the subsidy for Li Zihang's parents. Although the money is donated every year, the government still visits them from time to time to give them some gifts and care for them.

Don't say that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if there is no ticket, you can take the money to the black market to buy tickets. You can buy any kind of ticket you want. The last thing the Li family lacks is money.

And there is the old man’s terrifying network of connections.

Therefore, the arrival of the bill era only brought inconvenience to the Li family's daily life when buying things, and had no other impact.

During break at Li Zihang Middle School.

"Dasha, let's go buy some soda popsicles. This damn weather is so hot and stuffy."

Dasha (Red Star’s nickname, because he always does stupid things without thinking, the nickname given to him by Li Zihang’s gang)

"I say, Master, all you talk about is popsicles and soda. Where's the money? Where's the bill?"

"You need a ticket to buy a needle now. Don't say you didn't know."

Young Master (Li Zihang’s nickname, because of his generosity, his attire, and his elegant and noble temperament. The gang got used to calling him that, and they didn’t change their name.)

"Haha, since you call me Young Master, I don't need your votes. Let's go~"

Fanghua looked at the two chattering people and followed them happily.

"Art girl, don't do what you did last time. When you saw the teacher coming, you ran away by yourself, leaving the two of us like fools, waiting to be caught in the corner."

Art Girl (Fang Hua's nickname, because she has an artistic style, she was teased by several people, so it just came out of her mouth.)

"I'm talking to you, Dasha. It's not wrong to call you Dasha. Last time I coughed for a long time, but you didn't hear me at all, and you blamed me for running away."

"You bought the things yourself and then sat on the wall and refused to come down. Who can you blame for getting caught?"

"The young master is so smart. He just threw the popsicle over the wall and took a book out of his pocket to recite the text during the break."

"You are so stupid, you are just sitting on the wall and looking at the scenery. Who else should I catch if not you?"

"I don't care. If I get caught this time, call my parents. I'm breaking up with both of you. My dad is beating people to death now. I really can't take it anymore."

Li Zihang said with a smile: "It's okay, next time your father hits you, just run away. I will take you in. I can support you."

Little did they know that this joke would become reality not long after.

Now in physical education class, during the sparring session, no one wants to team up with him.

Sometimes he couldn't control his strength when hitting, or he habitually hit the vital parts, which injured several classmates. The parents reported it to the school leadership office.

The matter was settled only after the old man paid compensation and apologized.

As a result, the school instructors sometimes couldn't help but want to compete with him.

In order to save face for his instructor at school, Li Zihang restrained his instinct and attacked the vital points.

Even if he held back, he could still fight back and forth with the instructors who had been on the battlefield.

Later, the instructor noticed that he was holding back, so he found a place where there was no one around to compete with him.

But in one round, Li Zihang hit him in a painful spot and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Later, in physical education class, the instructor let Li Zihang move freely and do whatever he wanted.

After these incidents, Li Zihang almost became a legend in the school.

Good at studying, strong in fighting, handsome, good family background. Polite, sweet, high emotional intelligence. Can speak 5 foreign languages.

He is definitely the prince charming in the hearts of all the girls in the school.

The teacher also turned a blind eye to him. As long as he didn't do anything outrageous at school, it didn't matter if he slept in class.

This time, Dasha was not allowed to climb over the wall. The two of them were left inside the wall to keep watch.

Li Zihang was seen climbing over the wall with skill, looking cool and handsome.

The two people inside the wall were stunned.

"Tell me, who did you learn this skill of climbing over the wall from? Your skills are comparable to those of the bandits in the comic books."

Fanghua: "Don't be so gullible. The young master's movements are so graceful and elegant, and they have nothing to do with the bandits."

Dasha: "Don't let the young master fool you. I'll tell you in secret, the young master doesn't like your style."

Fanghua heard this and said angrily, "I don't like you. Look at your behavior. You feel itchy if you don't get spanked for a day. Just looking at you makes me want to have someone beat you up."

Dasha stopped talking nonsense at this moment.

"Anyway, just relax. We are three years older than the young master. The age difference is obvious. And the young master only treats us as brothers and sisters. No matter how you think, it's useless."

"You big fool, you are not stupid anymore. I will teach you a lesson."

As he said this, he hit, pinched and twisted Dasha.

The two of them were chasing and fighting each other, like a young couple.

The flirtatious actions of the two also attracted the attention of the teachers who were walking in the school playground.

Until the two of them caught the bag and called him to the head teacher's office.

Li Zihang has a net bag hanging around his neck, which contains three bottles of soda and three popsicles wrapped in brown paper.

He climbed over the courtyard wall and saw his Chinese teacher and the instructor standing inside the wall.

But those two guys were nowhere to be seen. Needless to say, they must have been caught by the teacher.

Li Zihang walked forward with a smile and greeted the Chinese teacher and instructor.

His hands were not slow either. He opened two bottles of soda in the net bag and stuffed them directly into the hands of the instructor and the Chinese teacher.

"Look, the weather is so hot, I'm going to go out and buy a few bottles of soda and popsicles for you two. You two are always the best to me."

The two of them held iced sodas and looked at him with smiles without saying anything.

An expression that said, "Let's see what nonsense you can come up with."

Li Zihang quickly put the popsicle wrapped in brown paper in his hand into the Chinese teacher's hand.

"Look, this soda can still be kept for a while, but the popsicle will melt in a short time. Please take this popsicle back to those beloved teachers. This is my gift to you."

As soon as I finished speaking, the class bell rang.

Li Zihang quickly said, "Well, class is about to start. I won't chat with you two anymore. I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for them to speak, Li Zihang ran away quickly with the last bottle of soda.

The two teachers were left there, chatting and drinking soda with smiles on their faces.

Originally, those two had no intention of doing anything to him. They just came to tease Li Zihang when they came to catch Dasha and the others.

I didn't expect that I got two bottles of soda and three popsicles for free without saying a word. I also watched Li Zihang's performance of jumping up and down.

After returning to the classroom, when the class was almost over, I still hadn't seen Dasha and the others come back.

Li Zihang thought, this time he went out to buy a soda, even if he was caught, he wouldn't be criticized for such a long time.

The first few times they were caught, they were just given a verbal warning and then let go.

It was not until the bell rang and the teacher left that he asked about his classmates, Dasha and Fanghua.

"You don't know yet? Those two were secretly having sex on the playground during break time and were caught by the teacher."

When Li Zihang heard this, he exclaimed in his heart, “Oh shit!”

He thought that the three of them were almost inseparable at school, but those two were actually having an affair behind his back.

It was hidden so deeply. After a while, the two returned to the classroom dejectedly.

Li Zihang looked at his desk mate Dasha and hurried forward to blame him.

"You're so good, you idiot. I'm going to go out and buy you some soda. You two were secretly dating. Tell me the truth, when did it happen?"

Dasha didn't say anything. Fanghua was unhappy.

"Don't be so stupid. There's nothing wrong between me and Dasha. It's just that he has a foul mouth. I was so angry that I chased him and beat him up. Then the teacher misunderstood me."

Li Zihang: "Haha~, how can I believe your poor performance?"

"The three of us have always been inseparable in school. Tell me the truth and tell me if this started outside of school."

"I was wondering why something was wrong between you two a while ago, and it turns out this is the root of it."

Fang Hua was so angry that she jumped up and down and said, "Believe it or not. And where's the soda? I'll drink some soda to calm down."

Li Zihang handed over the only remaining bottle of soda.

Here, Dasha saw the soda and asked Li Zihang where his was.

"There's no share for you. I didn't even drink a single sip. Well~ I climbed over the wall and saw the Chinese teacher and the instructor, looking at me with a smile. I gave them all the food as a gift."

"If I hadn't been smart, I wouldn't have been able to keep this bottle."

When Dasha heard that there was no more soda, he lay on the table in frustration and pretended to be dead.
