Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After moving all the things into the house, Zhou Tian gave Chang Wen and Chang Wu each a large front door and two bottles of wine and asked them to take them away. However, the two men declined. However, Chang Wen looked at the things Zhou Tian bought and asked in confusion.

"Commander, you actually have a quota for these things every month, why do you still buy them?"

Chang Wen's words made Zhou Tian stop sorting out the cigarettes and alcohol, and then he was confused.

I couldn't help swallowing and asked, "What? Chang Wen, you said I have a quota every month?"

"Yes, Chief, according to your rank, you are entitled to two packs of Panda cigarettes, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, one box of Maotai and one box of Fenjiu every month. Don't you know that?"

Zhou Tian's words made Chang Wen scratch his head and asked. You know, this is a benefit that everyone who reaches a certain level has. Logically, the leader has reached that level and should be aware of this matter.

"No, Chang Wen, since you said that my level has a quota every month, why don't I know it? Didn't the higher-ups give it to me?"

Zhou was now broken down by Chang Wen's words, and couldn't help feeling numb in his heart. If he had known earlier that he had a quota for cigarettes and alcohol, why would he have bought them? Now, he has prepared a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, and Chang Wen just told him that he actually has a quota every month. How should he feel about this?

Besides, he had never seen anyone send him cigarettes or alcohol in such a long time.

"Commander, you must have forgotten that when you were the director of the machinery factory, I was the one who collected your quota every month, and it was you who asked me to hand it over to the old lady. Logically, you should know this!"

Chang Wen suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He didn't want to take the blame for this. After all, he clearly remembered that the leader had asked him to hand it over to the old lady. He was right about that.

"Is that right?"

Zhou Tian listened to Chang Wen's explanation and couldn't help but try hard to recall. Suddenly, he seemed to remember that when he was researching weapons and equipment, Chang Wen seemed to have said something to him, but because he was immersed in the research at the time and disliked the trouble, he asked him to hand it over to his grandmother to manage.

It has been so long that he had already forgotten about it. After figuring out the reason, Zhou Tian looked at Chang Wen with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I forgot. Sorry, Lao Chang. Never mind. I'll ask grandma where she put it later!"

Right is right, wrong is wrong. Although Zhou Tian is higher in rank than Chang Wen, since he was wrong, he naturally would not make any special arrangements.

After apologizing to Chang Wen and seeing Chang Wen and Chang Wu off, Zhou Tian walked towards the main room.

"Grandma, grandma!"

Zhou Tian shouted before he even entered the house, but when he pushed the door and walked in, he was shocked to find that there was no one in the main room. He knew that his grandmother and mother-in-law usually would not go out.

But where did they go now? Confused, he couldn't help but look for them in the yard, but after searching the entire yard, he still couldn't see any trace of his family.

Just when Zhou Tian was about to go next door to ask, as soon as he went out, he saw grandparents and mother-in-law, each holding a child, walking back with the crowd, talking and laughing.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom, where have you been?"

Seeing his grandparents and mother-in-law coming back, Zhou Tian finally put down his worry and couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked with concern.

"Hey, didn't the street office notify everyone that there would be a meeting this afternoon? No one was home, so Yuling and I took the children to the street office for the meeting!"

When the grandmother heard her eldest grandson's question, she immediately smiled and said.

"Old sister, is this your grandson who is the factory director?"

At this time, a white-haired woman in her fifties or sixties suddenly asked, looking at Zhou Tian with uncontrollable surprise in her eyes. She never expected that her elder sister's grandson would be so young.

"Yes, sister, this is my eldest grandson! Grandson, this is our sixth aunt behind us."

"Hello, Aunt Six!"

After listening to his grandmother's introduction, Zhou Tian quickly greeted the woman with a smile.

"Well, well for you too. I didn't expect that you are so blessed. Your eldest grandson looks so handsome. No wonder he has become the head of a factory at such a young age!"

The woman heard this and immediately said happily.

"Hahaha, big sister, you're joking. It's all his hard work. Okay, big sister, now we know each other. We're both at the front and back doors. If you have time, come to our house more often!"

"Okay, then, elder sister, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first!"

After saying that, the woman looked at Zhou Tian deeply, and then walked towards her home.

Suddenly, only grandparents and mother-in-law were left at the door. They returned home with their children. As soon as they entered the house, Zhou Tian asked his grandmother, "Grandma, where did you put the cigarettes and alcohol that I asked you to keep for me?"

"Cigarettes and alcohol? Oh? Now I remember, they are all in your room!"

Grandma held little Zhiyi in her arms and recalled the past, saying that after all, it was only a month, so she naturally remembered it very clearly.

"Put it in my room?"

Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, but didn't say much. After all, as long as he knew where it was, it would be fine. Then he asked about the street meeting in confusion. If he remembered correctly, this was the first meeting since the establishment of the street office.

"Hey, what else could it be? I heard from the people in the street office that a document was issued from above. It said that there would be plans to purchase and supply grain, but this has little to do with our family!"

Grandma said it indifferently. After all, her family had moved their household registration to the old city during the last registration, and the land in the countryside was long gone. Therefore, grandpa and grandma didn't care.

But Zhou Tian was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this the beginning of the planned economy and the food stamp economy? He knew the direction of history and understood the impact of this incident on the future.

He originally thought that the country would only implement this in 1955, but he didn't expect it to start in 1953. This made him feel a little worried.

After all, although this can control the price of grain in the market, it also invisibly restricts the circulation of grain. But then his brows relaxed again. What he could see, his superiors could naturally see as well. And fundamentally speaking, the implementation of this policy could be said to be a good thing.

Although it will affect the domestic economic vitality, it will also fundamentally eliminate the influence of merchants manipulating food prices and play a positive role in stabilizing prices. For workers and people, this is a good thing.

As for businessmen, to be honest, Zhou Tian doesn't have any good feelings towards these people. Except for some businessmen who have contributed to the country, he has seen many businessmen manipulating prices in recent years. If the country had not responded in time.

People's lives may one day return to the state before liberation.

Therefore, the reason why the country does this is to prevent these businessmen from controlling the market and causing price increases.

Even though Zhou Tian didn't understand economics, he knew that allowing such merchants to continue would not benefit the country in any way. Therefore, he estimated that the higher-ups had seen this situation and were gradually implementing a distribution system for all items on the market.
