Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"Yes, I still remember when we were in high school, the meals in the school cafeteria were roughly like this:

过油肉3毛6分钱一份，炒豆腐1毛钱一份，白皮面2两4分钱一份，西红柿面2两8分钱一份，浇肉面2两1毛2分钱一份，白米饭2两4分钱一份，白面馒头3两2分钱一个，二合面馒头3两1分钱一个，杂粮馒头3两1分钱两个。

Inferior dishes, such as meat in a big pot, are only 5 cents per serving, vegetarian dishes are 1 cents per serving, and vegetable soup is 3 cent per serving.

Even the uncommon yellow croaker is only sold for 5 cents per portion in school, not to mention the hairtail, which is only 2 cents per portion.

Mom, based on the current prices, I think it won’t be much more expensive than when we go to college. Even if my sister and I eat a lot, we won’t need to spend money from our family.”

"yes!

Mom, please don't give us money and tickets, save them for you and my dad!"

“What nonsense are you talking about?

The subsidy from the school is very limited, and that little money is just enough for food and drink. If you want to buy something else, how can you do it without money?

Not to mention, if you go out with your classmates on Sunday, you can't just stand there and watch others eat, right?

Or in other words, if you don't know how to treat others and ask them to treat you, how can that be possible?

Giving you money and tickets is something we have carefully considered. You just need to remember to keep the money well, stay away from people when using it, and don't say anything stupid or tell others everything. "

"Mom, what did you say?"

"That's right, if we talk about stupid things, there's no way we can get into college.

But you and my dad have given us so much money, is there any money left at home?

Our family just bought a job and a house. Don't go back and give the money to my sister and me. What if you and my dad need money and there is no money at home?"

"Yes?

Mom, why don't you take the money and give us the tickets? My sister and I still have some money on our hands. If we spend it frugally, it will be enough for this semester."

"That's you. The money I have will last until next semester."

"I, I can spend as little as I want."

"Okay, I don't know how much money you have, so just save the little money you have!

Don't worry about me and your dad. We have two jobs now and the money we earn is more than enough for us.

As for the expenses at home during this period, it is not to the point where there is not a penny left. You two siblings don’t have to worry about us, we know what we are doing.”

"Oh!"

When it comes to prices in this era, they are simply as cheap as they can be.

As for the meals that the children just listed, to be honest, most of them cannot eat them in school. I think only the faculty and staff of the school can eat such good meals.

And no matter what the dish is, as long as I can come across it or grab it, I will probably buy it back and eat it with my family.

People who can enjoy themselves alone either have very good families or are single.

For my two children, the most I would buy is one portion of fried tofu or one meat dish, and they would have to share it between us.

It’s not that they don’t have money or tickets, but it’s too conspicuous to have a good meal at school. With their temperament, they dare not eat in the school cafeteria.

Even though the profit from these meals is only around 2 cents, 4-5 cents is enough for each person to eat as much as he can a day.

With only two children at home, if they wanted to play with toothpicks, they had to go to the state-owned restaurant secretly, and they didn't know what time it was.

One of the reasons is that I don’t have the time, and the other is that I have to have the opportunity.

At that time, breakfast in state-owned restaurants only cost 5 cents: a large bowl of soy milk cost 1 cent, and two large fried dough sticks cost 4 cents.

Lunch only costs 2 cents: a medium bowl of rice is 3 cents, and twice-cooked pork or other meat dishes is 3 cents per portion.

Dinner: A bowl of noodles costs only 8 cents and you can be full.

Cost for the whole day: 3 cents for a full meal, but they don’t go there often, so it’s really not very convenient.

But even so, compared with other children in the team, they are still very happy. After all, they have money, tickets and opportunities.

As for the kids in the team, let alone letting them go to the state-owned restaurant, I'm afraid they might not even know which way the door of the state-owned restaurant faces.

Hearing their mother say this, the two siblings still didn't want to bring money. Even though their mother said that the family still had money, didn't they know what kind of life their family had lived over the years? So they continued to talk about this matter.

"Mom, with my brother and I'm capable, even if the subsidy isn't enough, it won't be that far off. We can just find something else to make up for it later."

"That's right. Don't forget, we have always had contact with the newspaper. With this relationship, we can earn more than the subsidy by publishing a few more articles every month.

You don’t need to give us too much money, what if we lose it again?”

There was nothing I didn't understand when I heard this, but I still told them.

“I didn’t give you much money, just 100 yuan each and some tickets.

I'm not giving you this money to let you spend it recklessly. You've just left home and are going to live in school.

I think there must be a lot of things missing. Even though we have prepared a lot for you during this period of time, no one knows if there is anything missing.

If you have some money and tickets in your hand, at least you can buy anything you need in time, and this way it won’t delay your schooling.

As for the little money left, your dad and I said we would not send any money to your school.

After all, you are going to school and receiving subsidies, and if we send you living expenses, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

In other words, no matter how much money is left, it will be your living expenses for the next semester.

As for the extra money you earn, if you don’t have other things to do or you need money urgently, you’d better go to the post office to open an account and deposit the money.

It is always unsafe to keep too much money on you. Even the school cannot guarantee that there will be no dishonest people with it. "

"this?"

"No way?"

"Of course not. Just because they are educated, you can't assume that they are of high moral character.

In fact, this is not the case. Some people use their advantages to do unexpected things.

Even if they are exposed later, there will probably be some disputes. You must pay attention to such people, understand?"

"I got it, Mom."

"Mom, don't worry!

Fortunately, my sister and I are still in the same university, so no matter what happens, we can take care of each other in time. "
