All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 158.

After sorting out the memories in his brain, Yue Wenxuan opened his eyes.

This is his third life.

Traveling through time and space for the second time, he has a new identity and a new family.

His name is still Yue Wenxuan. He was born in 16. He is [-] years old this year, and it is the most brilliant youth in his life.

His parents came from the devil city who had fled before liberation, and they had eight children in total. He was the only son, and the other seven were daughters.

He has five older sisters above and two younger sisters below.

The seven daughters of the Yue family are more beautiful than the other, and they are called the Seven Fairies of the Yue family.

His parents are dual-employees, and both the elder sister and the second elder sister also joined the work a few years ago.There are four workers in the family, and the whole family makes matchboxes to subsidize the family when they are free, so they are quite well off financially.

Financially affluent, there are no major problems in life. Others are fine. The only problem is that the house at home is too cramped.

How narrow is it?

There are ten people in their family, and they live in a three-story pavilion!

The building they lived in was a single-bay Shikumen, and the area on the real estate certificate added up to only a few tens of square meters, but five families lived in such a small place.

Shikumen was originally supposed to be a stone hoop door. The door frame was made of stone, and the door leaf was made of solid thick wood with black lacquer. The stone door frame hooped the wooden door, which is the stone hoop door. It is named "Shikumen".

Shikumen buildings are divided into old-style Shikumen buildings and new-style Shikumen buildings. The Shikumen where Yue Wenxuan lives is a new-style Shikumen building.

The new-style shikumen is generally divided into single bay and double bay, and there are also three bays, but they are less common.

A single room means that after entering the gate, there is only one room in the east-west direction, that is, there is only one row of houses, and it is the smallest Shikumen.

Double-room houses have two rows of houses, and the area is much larger.

Only after sorting out his memories did Yue Wenxuan truly know how tight the housing conditions of ordinary people in Shanghai are at this time.

In the Shikumen building where they lived, the five families lived separately: the living room on the first floor, the front building on the second floor, the pavilion on the second floor, the balcony on the second and a half floors, and the three-story pavilion where they lived.

The layout of the single-bay Shikumen is as follows:

As soon as you enter the gate, there is a courtyard, which is a small yard, and there is no well.

The south side of the first floor is the living room, which has a relatively large area of ​​more than 20 square meters.On the north side of the first floor is the kitchen for cooking, with an area of ​​only eight square meters.The living room and the kitchen are separated by stairs.

Although they are all located on the first floor, the heights of the living room and the kitchen are different. The height of the living room is more than three meters, and the height of the kitchen is only two meters.

To the south of the second floor is the front building, which has the same area as the living room, also more than 20 square meters.

On the north side of the second floor is a small pavilion room, which was originally used for storing things. It was built on top of the kitchen drape room, with the same area of ​​eight square meters and a height of only two meters.

Above the pavilion is the balcony on the second and a half floors, which was originally used to dry clothes, but now it is closed and has become a family.

The enclosed balcony is naturally the same in size as the pavilion and the stove, with an area of ​​eight square meters and a height of about two meters.

The combined height of the stove draped room, pavilion room, and closed balcony is equal to the height of the living room plus the front building, which shows how low it is.

The three-storey pavilion is located directly above the front building. Like the closed balcony, it is closed after the Shikumen was built.

The closed three-story pavilion, in addition to the area directly above the front building, also includes the area above the stairs, so the floor area under the feet is slightly larger than the front building, about [-] square meters.

Living in a three-story pavilion, the floor area under your feet is indeed [-] square meters, but the area above your head is far from that large.

The three-storey pavilion is closed in a loft style, high in the middle, and gradually lowered from the north to the south, so that people can stand in the middle part, and the lower the closer to the side.

(There are cross-sections in the previous Easter Egg Chapter, interested readers can take a look.)
The front building is the best room in Shikumen, with a large area, good lighting and ventilation, which is the most enviable.

The second is the living room. The area of ​​the classroom room is comparable to that of the front building. It is convenient to enter and exit, which is not bad.

In the original design, there are only these two rooms in the single-bay Shikumen for normal occupancy.

But now, not only are people living in the pavilion used as a storage room, but even the balcony above the pavilion has been closed and turned into a room.

There are only three children in the family of the sister-in-law in the rooftop, and the five of them live on eight square meters, which is okay.

The auntie’s house in the pavilion was too tense. There were two sons and three daughters in their family. A total of seven people lived in a room of eight square meters. It was hard to imagine how they lived.

Although the grandma’s house in the living room is large, the accommodation conditions are also very tight, because there are four generations of grandparents and grandchildren living in their 20-square-meter house, which is also very crowded.

Of the five households in Shikumen, the family with the most comfortable housing conditions is the family of Uncle Qianlou. There are three sons and two daughters in their family. Seven people live in more than 20 square meters, with an average of three to four square meters per person. It is enviable.

The ten members of Yue Wenxuan's family live in the three-story pavilion, and the accommodation conditions are indeed very tight, but compared with the aunt's house in the pavilion and the grandma's house in the living room, it is not bad that they can barely live there.

Yue Wenxuan also experienced this era in his previous life. The housing of people in Kyoto is also generally difficult, but it should be better than people in Shanghai.

Now that I have personally experienced the housing problems of people in Shanghai, I am inevitably a little emotional.

Yue Wenxuan just passed through, and he is a little uncomfortable with the current accommodation conditions, but this is not an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The real problem now is the work index.

It is now the end of December in the eighth year of the Lu Dynasty. From this month on, the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside has been vigorously implemented.

All middle school graduates who do not have a job will all have to go to the countryside.

At the beginning, the promotion was so strong that even the only child had to leave.

"One child can stay", "Each family can keep one child by their side", these similar policies did not exist when they were first implemented, but they were adjusted according to the actual situation after the policy was implemented for a period of time.

During this period of time, if there are only children who go to the countryside, they can apply to return to the city after the introduction of the new policy.

Yue Wenxuan is not an only child, once he goes to the countryside, the hope of returning is slim.

If it was possible, he would certainly not want to go to the countryside. He knew too well how hard it would be after going to the countryside.

He himself does not want to go to the countryside, and his family will not let him go to the countryside either.

There is only such a precious son in Lao Yue's family, and no one will let him go.

Now the family has already figured out the countermeasures and is actively implementing them.

There are four workers in the Yue family, and the family's solution is to exchange Yue Wenxuan's second sister's job and give him a job suitable for boys.

His second sister is 21 years old this year, a female textile worker. Because she joined the work relatively early, she passed the apprenticeship stage last year and started to receive a regular worker's salary, with a monthly salary of 36 yuan.

It's a pity that this job is not suitable for Yue Wenxuan, otherwise, the family will let him take over directly.

He is not suitable for this job, so he can only make a detour and find a suitable person to exchange jobs.

In real life, due to various inconveniences, there are people who exchange jobs. There is indeed hope for this matter to be done.

But after it was done, the loss was huge.

The first is the loss of wages.

After Yue Wenxuan went to work, he could only start as an apprentice, and the apprenticeship lasted for three years.

First year salary: 17.84 yuan/month.

Salary for the second year: 19.84 yuan/month.

Salary for the third year: 21.84 yuan/month.

After finishing the teacher, I can get the same salary as the second sister now, 36 yuan a month.

After three years, the wage gap is not a small amount. For an ordinary worker's family, such a loss is huge.

Fortunately, the second sister's education is low. She only has an elementary school education, so she doesn't have to worry about being forced to go to the countryside because she loses her job.

This is just the family's idea. Now that Yue Wenxuan has crossed over, of course he won't do that.

Now that the policy of compulsory sending to the countryside has just started, if he can find a job as soon as possible, this problem will be solved.

In the next period of time, the most important thing for Yue Wenxuan is to quickly find a formal job.

If he can't find it, he can't agree with the family's approach. How can a person like him steal the second sister's job? He can't do such a thing.

If it doesn't work, if he goes to the countryside, he will go to the countryside. With his physique, he can definitely handle it. If he stays in the countryside for three or four years at most, he will definitely have a way to return to the city.

Nowadays, going to the countryside is the biggest thing for most families.

There are five households in this Shikumen, four of which are facing this problem.

Only the sister-in-law's family in the rooftop, the three children are still young, so it is not involved yet.

There are so many children in Lao Yue's family. According to the policy, a total of four of them are facing going to the countryside.

Both the eldest sister and the second sister are already working, so it has nothing to do with this matter.The third, fourth, and fifth sisters, including Yue Wenxuan, are all high school graduates from the last three classes.

Although Yue Wenxuan is young, he went to school very early. He is a high school graduate this year.

The fifth sister graduated from high school this year and last year.The third sister and the fourth sister are twins. They are 20 years old this year. Both of them are high school graduates from the year before last.

The four brothers and sisters took up exactly three terms, and they all had to go to the countryside according to the policy.

The third sister and the fifth sister had already signed up a few days ago, and both of them were assigned to the Corps, and now they are waiting for the notification to go to the Great Northern Wilderness.

It is a good result to be assigned to the Corps, which is the first choice for going to the countryside.

Because they are assigned to the Corps, they get paid every month. Except for working harder than the workers, the salary is the same, which is generally acceptable.

After all, wherever you go to the countryside, you have to endure hardships. Compared with the workload of jumping in the team, it is hard to say which one is more difficult.

The second choice for the educated youths in Shanghai to go to the countryside is the suburbs of Shanghai. The advantage is that it is closer to home and easier to adapt.

The worst option for going to the countryside is to jump in the queue.There is no salary, and the treatment is the same as that of local commune members. I am not familiar with the place, and I can’t even understand the language. Communication is a problem, and all kinds of difficulties are daunting.

Yue Wenxuan hasn't signed up until now. That's because he has a special reason. He has the hope of staying in the city, so naturally he is not in a hurry to sign up.

The fourth sister has not signed up until now, which worries the whole family the most.

It is well known that the seven fairies of the Yue family are not only beautiful, but also more capable than the other.

With so many children in the Yue family, why the economic conditions are better than most other families? It is because these seven sisters are so capable!
These seven sisters never have a moment of idle time at home, so what are they busy with?

Busy with pasting matchboxes.

The process of sticking matchboxes in the match factory is distributed to every household. With this job, you can subsidize the household in your spare time. Anyone who has a relationship is willing to do more of this work.

Therefore, the job of pasting matchboxes is very popular, and not everyone can accept this job.

The Yue family was more fortunate. Yue Wenxuan's father had a fellow from his hometown who held a middle-level position in the match factory. Through his relationship, it was easy to get a job.

But even so, it is not possible to receive as many jobs as you want, and there is a limit to the amount you can receive each month.

In the past two years, since Yue Wenxuan's third, fourth, and fifth sisters have been idle at home, there are three idlers in the family who can make matchboxes all day, and the amount they can receive per month has increased to one hundred yuan.

That is to say, the hometown of my father-in-law is awesome, otherwise, it would be impossible to have this amount.

Pasting matchboxes is a very time-consuming job. For the extra one hundred yuan a month, everyone in the Yue family except Yue Wenxuan has no time to rest.

As long as they are at home, everyone has to paste matchboxes.

The wages for pasting matchboxes are very cheap, only [-] cents per thousand.

A skilled worker with a particularly fast speed, in addition to eating and sleeping, is constantly busy. He can make up to [-] pieces in [-] to [-] hours, which means he can earn one yuan.

This is still a skilled worker with a fast speed. If the hand is slower or the time is not enough, a thousand pieces can be pasted a day.

The three idlers of the Yue family stick matchboxes all day, and with the help of other people after they return home, they can earn an extra 100 yuan a month. It is really a very torturous and hard work.

The sisters of the Yue family are quite capable, but there is a difference between capable and capable.

Among the several sisters, the third sister is the most capable and strongest. The fourth sister and the third sister are twins, but their personalities are very different.

It may be that the elder sister of the twins is too capable, so the other twin inevitably likes to be a little lazy and likes to take some shortcuts.

Both of them have the same high spirits, the third sister will realize her wish through her own efforts, and the fourth sister is more willing to take shortcuts to realize her wish.

The matter of going to the countryside can best reflect the character of the two.

The third sister felt that the general trend was the general trend, and it was impossible not to go, so she pulled the fifth child to sign up early.

There are also advantages to registering early. If you talk sweeter, find some reasons, and find some connections, she will smoothly make herself and the fifth child a member of the corps.

For the third sister, this is the best result, and it is also the result she wants.

The fourth sister didn't want to go to the countryside to endure hardships, and she made up her mind not to go to the countryside.

Now she is actively trying to find a way, but this matter is too difficult, and there is still no result until now.
