Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Ding Qiunan looked at the fruits on the ground with surprise in his eyes. He bent down to pick up a mango, stroked the smooth skin, and asked in surprise.

She had no idea what fruits these were; they were not unusual at all.

"The fruit in your hand is called mango, the bigger one is called jackfruit, the slightly smaller one is coconut, and the other yellow one is pineapple."

"Aren't pineapples and jackfruits the same thing?"

“Yes, there is a big difference.”

The two were chatting, and soon Wei Fengyun came back from buying vegetables. She was very surprised to see so many fruits on the ground. When she heard that Qin Zheng brought them back from Hong Kong Island, she kept complaining.

"Master's wife, I just want you to have a taste. You can't buy this kind of thing in the mainland, but in Hong Kong Island, this kind of thing is not valuable. What's more, I brought it back with me, and there is no shipping fee, so it won't cost much."

"Hey, kid. No more talking. Sit down and chat with Qiu Nan. I'll cook."

After dinner at Ding's house, Qin Zheng took out three books from his bag and said, "Master, these are the medical books I brought back from Hong Kong Island. I have never seen them in the mainland. They should be medical books that have been lost overseas. Please take a look."

"is it?"

Ding Rushan asked back in surprise, not because he really didn't believe him, but because he thought it was too rare. He knew that Qin Zheng probably had the largest collection of medical books in the country. Qin Zheng had never seen it, which showed how rare this medical book was.

He took the medical books and saw the words "Tianhui Medical Book" written in traditional Chinese characters on the cover of the first one, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Oh, it's this book. It's a legendary book. I didn't expect you to find it."

There was a slight tremor in his voice, showing that he was quite excited.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I also think it's rare. I found it at a small bookstall when I was walking in Hong Kong Island."

Ding Rushan picked up the second book, his eyes widened, he raised his head excitedly and said: "It's the Shibuzhai Medical Book, your luck is so good, what can I say?"

This is another book that is said to have been lost. This is such luck that no one can compare to it.

When he saw the third book, he could only shake his head and sigh, "Food Materia Medica", which was a colorful picture book.

“Is this a color picture book from the Ming Dynasty?”

"It should be. I don't quite understand, but I can tell that this book will definitely be long."

"Hahaha, precious ancient books. Three books, all of which are precious ancient books. They fill the gap in the domestic medical community. Qin Zheng, thank you."

"Master, I am now a member of the medical profession, and I have to fulfill my responsibilities."

"Yeah, well said."

Ding Rushan now no longer has the gloomy look he used to have. Now he is full of energy and vigor, and he is the image of a successful person.

When Ding Rushan calmed down, he asked again, "What are you going to do?"

"Master, I don't think it's time for these three books to be published yet. Of course, I took them out just for you to read."

"Yes, no one cares about it now, and no publishing house is willing to publish it, so let's wait a little longer."

His mood was a little depressed, and then he said: "Well, I will read the Tianhui Medical Scroll first, and you can take the other two back to study first."

"Okay, Master."

Qin Zheng didn't tell him that he had memorized all three books.

In August, the country successfully developed the first conventional lathe C8-260 and put it into mass production. The lathe's precision reached world standards and was later exported abroad.

Qin Zheng was deeply impressed by this lathe. He could design it himself, but he didn't do it. If Shenyi Machine Tool Factory has not started designing it yet, he wouldn't mind designing it first.

"Actually, I still have some bottom line for some things. Well, let me give myself a thumbs up first."

Thinking of machine tools, Qin Zheng sighed in his heart, and then he set his sights on the design of CNC machine tools.

At the end of the month, Qin Zheng had dinner at his parents' house. Before he reached the Siheyuan, he heard a lot of noise in the middle courtyard. After passing through the hanging flower gate, he saw the middle courtyard full of people. A table was placed in front of the hanging flower gate. Oh, this was the long-awaited courtyard-wide meeting.

Qin Zheng was quite curious about the whole-school meeting, as he had never seen one before.

However, the person sitting at the main seat at the table with his back to the hanging flower gate was not the three uncles in the courtyard, but Director Wang from the street.

"Is this something big happening?"

Qin Zheng was curious and walked calmly into the crowd, waiting for the meeting to begin.

"Be quiet, don't talk."

Yi Zhonghai sat on the left of Director Wang. In this occasion, he, as the eldest brother, had to be the one presiding over the meeting, which was a good way to enhance his personal prestige.

"Okay, let's start the meeting. Next, let's ask Director Wang from the Street Office to convey the national policy."

Suddenly, there was a burst of warm applause in the yard.

Director Wang raised his hands and pressed them down, and the scene became quiet.

"Today, the subdistrict office came to your courtyard to publicize a regulation that the country has just issued. On the 25th of this month, the State Council issued the "Interim Measures on the Quantified Supply of Grain in Cities and Towns". The main content is to implement a supply system for non-agricultural populations in cities and towns, namely, rationing food rations for residents by grade, rationing grain for industrial and commercial industries by household, and rationing grain for livestock feed by classification. Moreover, starting from November this year, grain coupons will be officially used throughout the country, and oil coupons will be issued at the same time, implementing a grain and oil supply system with coupons..."

This sentence caused an uproar in the yard. After all, the food issue is closely related to every household.

Grain and grain products are supplied in a planned manner according to the fixed quantity and number of people. Each person is given a grain coupon according to the fixed quantity, and then uses the coupon to purchase grain from the state-owned grain store.

In a word, from now on, people with urban household registration must use tickets to buy food. Without tickets, they cannot buy food.

"oops!"

"I can't live like this anymore. What's going to happen to my family? This is killing me!"

As soon as Director Wang left, a sharp scream was heard in the courtyard, and Jia Zhang was seen sitting on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying.

"Old sister-in-law, hurry up and get up. Everyone in the yard is watching you. What a shame."

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy and tried to persuade him quickly.

"Yi Zhonghai, I can't even live well, why should I care about it? Tell me, is there such a thing? He has always been against our Jia family. What kind of world is this?"

"Sister-in-law, shut up, don't say that, do you dare to say that?"

Jia Zhang was howling, but when she heard Yi Zhonghai's words, she stopped abruptly. She was stunned for two seconds, then immediately stood up, patted her butt, ran back home without saying a word and closed the door.

Everyone laughed. This Jia Zhang was definitely a talented person. She knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and she had no shame.
