Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Even though the amount of meat you buy is limited to 2 kilograms each time, many people are still reluctant to buy so much meat, and almost every time they buy meat they only buy half a kilogram.

Half a pound of meat is enough for the whole family to have a good meal on Sunday.

No matter how many people there are in the family, each person can get one or two pieces, which is enough to make the family happy for a long time.

I would take this opportunity to make jar meat, bacon, or cured meat depending on the weather conditions.

Everyone eats meat on Sundays anyway, so there's no need to pick another time.

No matter how delicious the meat is, you can't tell which family is eating it.

And one happy thing during this period was that food supply returned to the standards of 1955.

In other words, the food rations for the three children in the family are finally no longer so little.

According to regulations, Dongdong’s monthly food ration this year is 17 kilograms, and the twins’ monthly food ration is 14 kilograms.

In this way, the family's food rations are more than enough in terms of coarse and fine food, and there is no need to take food out from the space.

And they can also eat more fine grains. Isn't it because they can get more fine grains? I accidentally saw the Qin family carrying bags into that place, so I analyzed the matter with Guo Huaian.

"No need to think too much about it. They are just taking their extra grain to the black market to exchange for money."

"this?"

“Even though the food standards have been restored, their children are still growing up, and even if they eat according to the standards, they still don’t have enough food.

When there is not enough food, the most needed food is definitely coarse grains.

In addition, their family used to be able to exchange meat for money on the black market.

But this year, not only do you not need a ticket to buy meat, but the limit is still 2 kilograms, which means that everyone is not short of meat to eat right now.

Since there is no shortage of meat to eat, it means that their method of exchanging meat for money is not feasible.

Since this method doesn’t work, let’s think of other ways.”

"So, their method is to exchange fine grain for money?"

"That's right. Judging from what the two elders of the Qin family meant, they are just exchanging fine grain for money."

"Are the rest of the Qin family willing?"

"Do they have the final say on whether they are willing or not?"

"It's true. Just like everyone stews meat every week, no matter how much their children make trouble, the head of the Qin family never gives in.

Just based on this point, anyone who is reborn into the Qin family can only consider themselves unlucky! "

"Isn't it just bad luck?"

In fact, this speculation is not only discussed among family members, but also known to everyone living in the same housing estate.

But I really can't tell anyone about this kind of thing. After all, no one can guarantee anything. If I have to go to that place one day, I can only pretend to be ignorant.

Fortunately, people no longer donate money and supplies to their family from time to time like they did before.

Otherwise, everyone will regret it to death.

With the recovery of the country's agricultural economy, the cooking oil supply standard has once again been adjusted, from 2 taels to 4 taels per person per month.

It seems like a lot, but there really isn't much, so I'm lucky I can buy some meat from time to time.

Especially the female comrades who are the cooks at home, they are still talking about this.

"If I don't buy some meat from time to time to make pork, I won't be able to eat this four ounces of oil for long."

"Who says it's not?

Especially for families with a small number of people, the amount for one month may not even be enough for half a month."

"That's absolutely true. Didn't you see how much oil the Qin family received this month?

They have so much oil at home, no wonder they can't even buy meat, they can only use up the oil.

Unlike us, we have to cut some meat from time to time to make up for it."

"Who says it's not?

But then again, there is always a difference between oil and meat. After all, meat tastes better no matter what.

Otherwise, why would their children be so greedy and make a fuss there? "

"That's right. When the Qin family had only one worker, they lived a very tight life. How come they have two workers now, and they are also making matchboxes, so how come they are still living a very tight life?"

"Who knows this?"

"That's right, how can outsiders like us know about their family affairs?"

"Yes!"

No one really knows, and even if they do, no one would be willing to say anything. As long as they are not afraid of being caught, no one would be the bad guy.

On the contrary, the relationship between everyone and the Qin family is almost not too close, but they don’t treat them as their own relatives.

Even if there is good news, no one will tell them much unless they happen to know it.

I'm really afraid of being relied upon by their family. Don't disbelieve it, this is because the people nearby are all vegetable farmers.

They have a lot of picked vegetables, which are sold at a purchasing station nearby. Although they are not very good, they are cheap.

Summer cucumbers are 2 cents per pound, and you can buy 8 pounds of tomatoes for cents.

Just because the old lady of the Qin family heard about this, she happened to meet someone from the same residential compound going to buy groceries. She used the excuse that she was older and asked the other person to help take care of the vegetables.

However, not only the comrade who helped bring the vegetables to her, but everyone else did not expect that Old Mrs. Qin would not even admit that she did not pay 1 cent for the cucumbers.

The other party was a young female comrade, so she was no match for Old Lady Qin and could only admit defeat in the end.

Even so, they told everyone everything the Qin family had done.

No one really doubted her about this and they talked about it.

"Since it has happened, it's only a dime worth of cucumbers. Even if I suffer a loss, it's only this time. Don't be so kind to anyone in the future."

"That's right, this neighbor lives here, other people wouldn't do that, but the Qin family might not.

This is not the first time, we can tell who is coming!"

"That's true. This incident also tells us that in the future, it's best not to get involved in money matters with the Qin family, otherwise we might get cheated."

"Yes, we all have to learn from this lesson as well."

"That's exactly the point."

That's true, but the Qin family didn't take the one-cent cucumber seriously at all.

Sometimes when they hear others going to buy cheap vegetables, the old lady in their family would say.

"Aunt Guifen, please bring me a dime worth of tomatoes."

He didn't say whether he would give the money or not until he came back and asked about it.

"Aunt Guifen, where are the tomatoes you brought me?

Why is it so little? It doesn’t look like it’s worth a dime.”

Then I saw the other person eating tomatoes and talking slowly.
