Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

When they saw that he had not brought back the fish, the three children gathered around and talked about it.

"Dad, Dad, this fish is actually alive?"

"Yes, the live fish that was just delivered is alive, isn't it?"

After hearing this, I asked curiously.

"what's the situation?

It’s actually a live fish?”

"I heard that the fish were shipped from Jinshi overnight. Fortunately, I lined up early. If I had been a little later, I would have been left with the same dead fish as everyone else!"

"It doesn't matter if the fish is dead or alive, as long as it's edible, but the fact that they're supplying fish means that things won't be bad in the future."

“That’s absolutely true.

With the current supply method and the reports we have read in the newspapers, I think good days are not far away for us."

"As long as this disaster is over, the hard times of the past few years will be over."

"Yes."

It is absolutely true. Not long after we had eaten the fish, the Dragon Boat Festival came.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the supply and marketing cooperatives began to supply rice dumplings to everyone.

Although there are not many rice dumplings, they are still distributed according to the number of people registered in the household.

Available within three to seven days of the festival, while stocks last.

Why wait so long? When you hear that rice dumplings are available, why don’t you hurry up and line up? Do you have to wait until they are sold out?

I am not the only one who has this idea. When I hear that the supply and marketing cooperative has rice dumplings, I will go to queue up as long as I am not at work.

I also queued up and bought five dumplings, one for each person.

It may not seem like much, but it’s better than nothing.

It is a rare occasion for the family to eat rice dumplings, especially for the three children, it is their first time to eat them.

He kept asking while eating.

"Mom, mom, can you make zongzi?"

"how?

Do you still want to eat Zongzi?"

"think."

"Since you want to, mom will make some later. It just so happens that the glutinous rice we received during the Chinese New Year is useless.

Mom will make some zongzi later, but as I said before, you can’t tell anyone about making zongzi at home, otherwise, no one will be able to eat them.”

"Okay, I won't tell you, right?"

"I won't tell anyone. If you can't eat well yourself, why would you tell others?"

"That's right. We don't even have enough food at home, so we can't let others get it for free."

"That's right.

We are not fools, are we? "

"Yes."

I don't know if you are stupid or not, but I know that these three children are particularly protective of their food and never show off their own things outside. I am quite relieved about this.

Unlike other children, he does not show overflowing sympathy at this time.

It’s not that I don’t want them to be compassionate, but in an age when we can’t even get enough to eat, compassion is not a good thing.

Speaking of this Dragon Boat Festival, not everyone is happy. It can only be said that some are happy while others are sad.

The reason is that since last year, all major units have begun to reduce staff, especially this year, the intensity is greater than ever before.

This is not to relieve the pressure on cities. The Party and the government called for streamlining institutions and employees, mobilizing idle urban residents and educated youth to go to the countryside to support agriculture, and mobilizing urban residents and collective units to use vacant land to grow vegetables to make up for the supply shortage, which received an active response from the majority of cadres and the masses.

In order to reduce the burden on enterprises and take care of others, party members have taken the lead.

Regarding this matter, I also talked about it with Guo Huaian.

"Our No. 59 Cotton Mill is mainly reducing its staff by employees who joined in . So it seems that it has little to do with me."

“Some people will leave the post office, but it has nothing to do with me.

Not to mention that I work very hard, but my legs are not suitable for this either.”

"That means that my husband and I don't need to worry about this?"

“There is really no need to worry at the moment, but it is still better to be careful.

After all, none of us can guarantee that there are no such villains. "

"Really? We really need to be more careful."

"In fact, given our family's situation, it seems good in the eyes of others, but after all, our children are still young, especially the two little ones who were born prematurely. In this regard, the higher-ups will also take this into consideration.

Even if we don't consider it, considering our family's situation, if we really go to the countryside, I may not be able to support our family?"

"Me too. Even though we are in an orphanage and have learned a lot of survival skills, we still don't know how to farm."

"Even if you know how to farm, it won't work. It's better to stay in the city."

“Yes, but I have noticed that some graduates from various universities, especially those who have entered and graduated since 55, are also within this range.

this? "

“Don’t worry, even if we are reducing the staff, it depends on the situation. In my situation, no matter where I am assigned, I will not be suitable.

And since you started working earlier than the stipulated time, it has nothing to do with you."

"Too."

"To be on the safe side, we need to work harder and more carefully during this period, but also keep a low profile.

Even though you may not have to worry about food in the countryside, relatively speaking, it is better to stay in the city.

Another thing is that education in the city is better than in the countryside. The eldest child in our family is about to reach school age, so we can’t delay him.”

"That's true, okay, I know what to do.

I wonder how Uncle Zhang is doing in the countryside?"

"No matter what, life in the countryside has not been easy these past few years, but fortunately the higher-ups have stipulated that you only need to stay for three years, and you can come back after three years.

Aunt Zhang is always in the city, he can't always be in the country."

"I hope so!"

After finding out that the two were not among the people to be laid off, the couple did not show much happiness in front of outsiders.

Just like before, I go to work diligently every day and complete the work at hand conscientiously.

As for the others, don't care what expressions they have or how they jump around at this moment, just watch the fun secretly from the side.

In fact, those who made the most noise were the workers who entered the factory in 59.

The higher-ups directly determine where they come from and where they return to.

There were also people who joined the company before 59, but most of them were party members, and at this time they mainly played a leading role.

Whether to return to hometown or go to other places at that time, I think the above also have some considerations.

However, because of this incident, I heard about Liu Cuicui from other people again.

"The one causing the most trouble in this layoff is not our Factory 1 or Factory 3, but Chen Dayong's family in Factory 2!"

"how?

Have you heard about this, too?"

"That's right. Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Dayong.
