Infinite Streamer

The green train to Beijing stopped and started all the way, and Liu Yuan, who was sitting on the green hard seat, gradually calmed down. He was thinking about how to plan "Sun Shaoping"'s life and study after arriving in Beijing, so as to improve his life and earn more income while not delaying "Sun Shaoping's" "study plan."

When I was hungry, I would quickly eat a few bites of the dry and hard cornmeal steamed bread I brought with me. When I was thirsty, I would eat a few bites of the cucumbers and tomatoes I brought with me.

In the real world of that era, materials were still extremely scarce. Eggs were considered nutritional supplements and tonics. Families with bicycles were considered to be from well-off families, which was equivalent to the "car owners" in the early 21st century.

Sun Shaoping himself did not even have the most basic food coupons. Even if he was frugal with the cornmeal steamed bread he brought with him, and some millet and red dates from northern Shaanxi, they were only enough for him to live for ten days or half a month at most. How would he maintain the most basic life after that?

You should know that it was not until 1992 that food coupons and various "oil coupons", "meat coupons", "cloth coupons", etc. (even tofu required a coupon to buy) stopped being used. Before 1992, basically all supplies required coupons or supply according to plan approval.

After Sun Shaoping arrives in Beijing, he plans to first go to the Municipal Education Commission to inquire about registration for self-taught higher education exams, then see if he can rent a cheaper house, and then see if he can find a job after settling down.

If it is difficult to find a job, Liu Yuan can use his experience of more than 40 years to see if he can do something "profitable".

The next morning, Liu Yuan finally arrived in Beijing, the city that Sun Shaoping had always dreamed of. After exiting the station, he took a quick look at the entire view. It was not much different from the Xi'an Railway Station, except that it was larger and had a wider field of vision, but it also had the same gloomy and old atmosphere.

Sun Shaoping asked the railway ticket inspector at the exit where the Beijing Higher Education Self-study Examination Committee was located, but no one knew. He then asked the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau, and was told that it was located in a courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

Sun Shaoping took a bus to the vicinity of Xizhimen and walked along Nanluoguxiang. When passing by a courtyard house, he saw a cardboard box at the door with the words "This courtyard has a house for rent, negotiable" written on it. He was tired from carrying his luggage and it was inconvenient for him to go to the Education Bureau to register for the exam, so he walked into the courtyard house to inquire about the rental situation.

Sun Shaoping knocked on the door of the first room on his left, and a middle-aged man's enthusiastic voice came: "Who is it? Wait a moment, I'm getting up!"

Sun Shaoping replied: "Brother, I saw a notice for rent outside and wanted to come and see the house."

At this time, the door creaked open, and the middle-aged man's appearance came into view. He looked a little familiar, like that person? Thinking carefully, "He Bing", isn't this the silly pillar "He Yuzhu" in "The Love of Siheyuan"? Liu Yuan was immediately delighted. How did I come to the world of "The Love of Siheyuan" again?

He Yuzhu said, "Come with me." He took a key and walked to the house next door. "My sister is married and lives in the police family compound. This house has been vacant."

Sun Shaoping looked at the whole room and found it very clean and tidy. He liked it very much and said, "Brother, how much is the rent?"

He Yuzhu said: "You look like a teacher, what do you do?"

Sun Shaoping: "Brother, you really have a keen eye. You saw through my identity at a glance." After saying that, he took out his letter of introduction.

He Yuzhu took the letter of introduction and looked at it carefully. "Hey, my name is He Yuzhu. Everyone calls me Shazhu. I can tell at a glance that you have a scholarly air. I don't feel comfortable renting it out to others for 3 yuan, so Teacher Sun only charges yuan per month."

When Sun Shaoping heard this, he was very happy. He was really pleased to be recognized and treated warmly by a stranger he met for the first time. He immediately paid three months' rent and settled down first.
