Chapter 8 Liu Accounting

Zhang Jingyi frowned when he lay down, Liu Huaqi turned around and pulled off the mattress from the cabinet, spread it on the kang, thought about it, pulled off the quilt again, folded it and spread it on the mattress, knelt on the edge of the kang with one leg, and put Zhang Jingyi hugged her thin body, put it on the quilt, helped her make up the pillow, brushed her hair, and said, "Be patient, I'll see if I can find a way to get someone to make a kang bed back."

In the Northeast, it was unrealistic to sleep on a bed at that time, and the heating was not as good as that of later generations. Even Westerners and Japanese also slept on kang beds, but they made a kind of kang bed, which is actually the kind that the emperor's concubine lived in the Forbidden City. The bed placed on the kang is an organic combination of living customs in the north and the south.

I am used to sleeping on the bed, Leng Ding will not be able to bear the hardness when he sleeps on the kang, it is very painful.

Zhang Jingyi grabbed Liu Huaqi's hand and shook his head, saying: "No, someone will report it. I'll sleep for a few days and get used to it. It turns out that I also sleep on the kang at home, so it's fine."

Liu Huaqi said: "Then you lie down for a while, I'll go and see Zhaorui."

Zhang Jingyi nodded and closed his eyes, Liu Huaqi took a thin quilt to cover her, and got off the kang to his son's room.

The same dark and old, similar layout, Liu Zhaorui was packing his clothes, folded and put away the clothes he wore before, and changed into a blue cloth jacket that was very common at this time.

Liu Huaqi took a look and asked, "Where did you get the clothes?"

Liu Zhaorui turned his head to look at his father, and said, "Dad, what Uncle Guan wants is his younger brother's gown. Let me wear it first."

Liu Huaqi nodded, and said, "Pack up and rest, I'll take you to the streets tomorrow to get acquainted, and come back with some shopping."

The next day, He Zishan brought comrades from the work team over to measure and make clothes for a family of three. The three people's original clothes were now too difficult to wear outside, so they had to be put away.

He Zishan did a very detailed job, made clothes for the arrangement, and left some material tickets and some money for him.He also arranged a job for Liu Huawen, helping out on the street, which made Liu Huawen very excited. This is the Liu family finally recognized as a legal status by the revolutionary government, and they will no longer be scolded and frightened.

……

"It's here, the largest hotel in our county, and now it mainly houses a few leaders." He Zishan and Liu Huaqi, who was wearing a people's uniform, stood by the roadside, looking at the four of Zhuanghe Hotel written on the wall with red paint. large characters.It turned out that the claws of the brand were still nailed to the wall.

"Let's go, let's take you in and get to know the comrades. This will be your work place from now on. For you, you are a bit aggrieved, and there is nothing you can do for the time being. Let me be aggrieved first, and I will think about it for you when the Northeast is liberated." The method." He Zishan explained to Liu Huaqi, and the two entered the wooden gate.

Liu Huaqi looked at the environment and said: "It's good, it's good, it's good to be safe."

He Zishan said: "You are an accountant here, and you have the final say on all financial accounts. At the same time, you are also required to translate some Japanese or Russian materials for the organization. Those are secret and can be done at home, including comrades here. explain."

Liu Huaqi nodded and said, "Yes, it should. Just enough paper and ink."

At that time, paper, pen and ink were considered in short supply among the people. Students went to school to write on the ground or draw slates. There were no teaching materials, and they could listen to whatever the teacher said. There were no books and notebooks, let alone pens. Issued by the state.

This phenomenon continued until the early 60s.But at that time it was not as scarce as it is now, and the country no longer issued it, so they needed to buy it, but the people were too poor, and children in rural areas still used a lot of slate, but they had chalk.This thing is cheap.

Of course, the cities are much nicer, there are more shops, and people have wages.But back then the cities were too small and too few.

He Zishan said: "You go to the supply station with your work permit, and there will be enough supplies for your needs, and someone will contact you." With a gesture, he pushed open the wooden door of an office.

There were two cadres in military uniforms, a man and a woman, who were talking when they heard the door knock and turned to look over.Seeing that it was He Zishan, they all stood up and said hello: "Committee He."

He Zishan walked in and said: "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Liu Huaqi. From today onwards, I will work as an accountant here. Accountant Liu is a college student. You should learn from him with humility. Accountant Liu, this is Comrade Zhang Tiemei, the county Minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood, this is Comrade Liu Hansheng, the director of the county labor management bureau and the manager of the hotel."

Liu Huaqi greeted the two with a smile and shook hands, said a few words of courtesy, and then came to his office.It was next to the manager's office, and there were three people in the room. Liu Huaqi had a single desk, next to the window at the innermost side, and the other two comrades, one responsible for bookkeeping and the other for cashier, shared a desk at the door.

In this way, working in the hotel during the day and going home at night to translate materials and take care of Zhang Jingyi, Liu Huaqi lived a fulfilling life as an ordinary person.

The accountant belongs to the cadre post and is a member of the hotel leadership team.Moreover, the hostel is directly managed by the county party committee, and the rank is high enough. This tall, thin, handsome man wearing round glasses and always showing a gentle smile is quickly recognized by everyone, and he will be called out wherever he goes. : "Liu Cadre."

In March 1948, Zhang Jingyi gave Liu Huaqi a son, named Liu Zhaofeng.

In the same month, Liu Zhaorui graduated from the People's Liberation Army Agricultural and Industrial Federation School and officially became a soldier of the People's Liberation Army.

The old Liu family had a double happiness, and the old man was very happy, and gave Liu Huawen 40 yuan to buy things and treat guests.It has been a long, long time since the old Liu's house has been so lively.

At this time, the domestic currency is still chaotic, the Kuomintang area is chaotic, and our party area is also chaotic. Each region issues its own currency and does not belong to each other.

The currency in the Northeast region was affected by the abolishment of National Party Zhonglian coupons and Manyuan, so the value of the currency was very low. When the unified RMB was issued in 48, the exchange rate in the Northeast region was 1:1000.

当时冀南银行币、北海银行币、华中银行币和中州农民银行币比价为1：100，晋察冀边区银行币、东北银行币、热河省银行币和长城银行币比价为1：1000，最夸张的是西北农民银行币和陕甘宁边区商业流通券，比价为1：2000。

You must know that the maximum denomination of the first set of RMB is 50000 yuan. You can imagine how much money was at that time. It is really not a joke to buy a few catties of rice with a sack on your shoulders.Lao Jiang really can't play finance.At that time, buying a few cold medicines cost 2 to [-] yuan.

Friends who are interested can watch the old movie "Mayor Chen Yi" and "Five Watches", which tell about the economy at that time.
