Siheyuan: I tied a stick and went to the countryside

Chapter 24
Xiang Chunshan said: "Rarely, we will organize the militia to patrol at that time, and you male educated youths will also participate in the patrol at that time."

"Okay, got it, thank you Director Xiang."

Huang Bin first thanked, and then said: "Look, it's all right, besides, every house in the last row is likely to enter, and it's not the first one that will increase the chance."

In fact, this first family has the strongest northwest wind and the coldest, and no one else is willing to choose it.

That's why Huang Bin chose this place because he liked the fact that the courtyard was bigger and easier to get in and out of.

After discussing with several girls, they chose several yards connected together.

Since everyone wants to rent a house when they come out, of course they want to sleep in a room by themselves, so that they can live with privacy.

Most people choose a yard one by one, and the choice is made quickly.

Xiang Chunshan said: "Since everyone has made their choice, go back to the brigade headquarters with me and pay the rent for the remaining months of this year, and then pay the rent for the next year at the end of each year."

The yard that Huang Bin rented was two houses with earthen walls, and there was a shed in front of the door. The land in front of and behind the house was reclaimed as a vegetable garden. No root grass.

There is a toilet in the corner at the back of the yard, and there is a back door that leads directly up the mountain.

Because there are only two earthen huts, the monthly rent for this yard is 1 yuan, and some yards with three houses cost 5 yuan and [-] cents.

Huang Bin and other educated youth who rented a house came to the brigade headquarters. Now it is July 7th. The remaining 20 days of this month will not require rent. After paying five months of rent, the accountant Niu Yiyi wrote a Tiaozi, the matter of renting a house is considered complete.

After all the formalities were completed, Director Xiang said: "All new educated youths can receive three-month rations first, and after three months, the new rations will come down, and then you can use these three-month rations." The work points are used to repay the food, and the remaining work points are exchanged for food."

"Of course, if you have food stamps, you can also use food stamps to buy food."

You must know that what these people brought over must be national food stamps. Although the nature is the same, a catty of national food stamps can only buy a catty of snacks, but there is a certain price difference between national food stamps and local food stamps. There will be certain benefits.

Huang Bin exchanged 100 catties of national food stamps in advance to use them at this time. He can buy some food, and it will be fine for him to eat more every day.

Someone frowned. You must know that the national food stamps are usually not available at all, and they are exchanged by some people who need to travel on business. They asked, "Can I use money to buy food?"

Nodding to the director, he said, "Of course you can also use money to buy food. The premise is that you have enough work points, and you can't steal and play tricks. If you don't work because you have money, that won't work."

You must know that this place is called Beidacang, and the land is fertile. After so many years of land reclamation and grain cultivation, there is no shortage of food here now.

What is lacking right now is meat, not food. Of course, if you want to eat all fine grains here, that is impossible. It can only be said that coarse grains and stick noodles can be enough.

The whole country is still not able to satisfy everyone to eat fine grains. It can only be said that eating coarse grains and fine grains together will not make people hungry.

Others were also very happy and satisfied after hearing it. What they fear most is that there is not enough food to eat. Since they can spend money to buy food, it means that the food here is rich.

The happiest person is Banggen. Liu Shikuan, who has no shortage of money, happily asked: "Secretary Xiang, can we buy fine grain now?"

You know, the sticks have long been based on refined grains at home, and most of the coarse grains bought in the grain books are replaced by white noodles with others, and only once in a while they eat steamed buns with double noodles.

Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's salary exceeds 180 yuan a month, and it doesn't cost money to buy meat. They don't have any problems eating fine grains every day.

"What good things are you thinking about? You are here to open up wasteland and farm land, not to enjoy happiness."

Xiang Chunshan's face turned pale, and he reprimanded: "What I said just now is that you can spend money to buy coarse grains, but fine grains are all exchanged by labor points."

"Ah?" Bang Geng was dumbfounded, he hadn't eaten the whole grain stick noodles for a long time, so he couldn't eat corn noodles every day.

Can't help but say: "But we haven't eaten coarse grains at home, can you be more flexible and sell me some fine grains?"

He glared at Huang Bin bitterly, blaming Huang Bin, if everything went well, he would not need to go to the countryside at all, and Huang Bin cheated him of 700 yuan and an all-steel watch.

If there is no such thing, the money is all his own.

Right now, I only have 300 yuan on hand, which is not as much as Huang Bin's.

"It's up to you? What good things do you think of?"

Xiang Chunshan said: "I don't care what your previous identities or family backgrounds are, when you come to our Jinshan Village, you must abide by the rules of our Jinshan Village. Only by opening up wasteland and farming to earn work points can you buy fine grains."

Then he warned: "If any of you boldly go to the pigeon market, as long as you are caught, don't blame me for being ungrateful and all of you will be sent to labor reform."

"Does anyone have any questions? If there is no problem, you can get the food first."

The first batch of grain was lent to the educated youth by the production team, so that some people would not be able to eat without bringing money, so all the food was coarse grain.

A person's ration is 30 catties a month, so everyone is 90 catties. Logically speaking, girls are less, but there is no shortage of food right now, so it is calculated as 30 catties.

Of course, you can pick up some at a time, and come back to pick up the rest after eating. There is registration at the brigade headquarters, and the total amount of 120 catties of stick noodles can be picked up at any time.

Most of them only received 1 catties for the first month, and the production team gave them a cloth bag, which was borrowed first and had to be returned later.

Huang Bin returned to the small courtyard with [-] catties of stick noodles on his back, put the food aside first, and started to tidy up the house.

As I mentioned before, this batch of houses were used by educated youths, but many of them had already returned to the city before the Spring Festival.

Huang Bin's group of educated youths came early, so they could choose first. There will be another group of educated youths coming in a few days, and they can only choose the remaining houses.

If they are all rented out, there will be no houses to rent out, and they can only sleep in the educated youth dots. If they spend money to build them, the village will welcome them, but when they return to the city, the house will be left to the village for free.

Open the door and come in. First of all, there is a firewood stove, which is connected to the kang inside. Of course, there is a stone plate in the middle that can be put down to block the heat from passing, and it is directly discharged from the chimney at the door.

In summer, the kang is still cool.

It's just that there isn't even an iron pot on the stove right now.

There is still a stone table in the room, and there is no furniture in the back room, except for the kang, which is a few stone blocks with stone slabs on it, which can be used to place things.

With a thought, Huang Bin covered the two rooms, collected all the dust, the spiders in the corners, and the rats in the ground into the space, then went out of the backyard and walked a long distance to get rid of the rats.

When I came back, I was holding a small bundle of firewood, and the first thing I had to do was to solve my own food problem.
