Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Yu Jiang handed the small packages for the four families to them. There was still a large package left, which contained a month's worth of food for them. With more than 200 kilograms of fine roots and various coarse grains that they could get on the farm, they should have no problem getting through a month.

In addition, Yu Jiang also took a small amount of fresh meat.

There was no way. Even if they had secretly dug a cellar to store food during the past half month, due to the current weather, meat and other things could not be preserved for a long time.

As for meats like bacon that can be stored for a long time, although it can be stored for a long time, the meat flavor when cooked is much stronger than that of ordinary meat!

Yu Jiang couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be discovered by people who, in later times, would have noses more sensitive than dogs' when they smelled meat if they cooked bacon in the house.

Fortunately, there are still things like air-dried beef in this era. Although it still tastes as good as fresh meat, the people present were really surprised that there is such a thing as air-dried beef!

Although this thing is not rare in the northwest, and they have seen dried beef before, but Yu Jiang gave them so much in one go, which was really beyond their expectations.

Besides, air-dried beef wasn’t something written on their list that Yu Jiang was asked to bring in!

"Just take it with confidence. We're taking food anyway, and some dried beef is also good. Although this thing can't be eaten as a meal, it's the best thing to replenish energy."

When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true. Bringing a little is not a small difference, and if they can bring more, their quality of life will be better.

Besides, as the saying goes, too much debt is better than nothing. Zhang's father and his family have already accepted the reality. At worst, they can empty their family's coffers to provide for Yu Jiang later...

The items were delivered and Yu Jiang completed his mission. He wanted to get the next selection list from them and leave, but when he was about to take the items, he was suddenly handed a box.

Yu Jiang was a little confused. Didn’t he tell her not to rush to pay?

Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first: "Xiao Yu, you keep this thing. We have been sent down for so long, and although we really don’t have much money on us, we still have some good things to secretly bring with us.

You, for the sake of Lao Zhang, have taken care of us, a group of troublemakers, not only bringing us things every month, but also allowing us to buy on credit. We can't just accept it with a clear conscience and say nothing!"

Yu Jiang listened and did not refuse.

But Zhang's father disagreed: "What's going on? Why didn't you invite me to come along? I also brought some goodies for Xiao Yu!"

As the only one of Zhang's fathers who had not "mortgaged" anything with Yu Jiang, he felt isolated.

"Brother Zhang, what can you give me? Isn't Xiao Yu your son's son who asked you to take care of you? Your share of the money must have been given by your son a long time ago. What else can we call you?"

Father Zhang: ...Oh, that seems to be the case.

Well, I used to clean up the mess for Zhang Tong's unlucky son, but now it's Zhang Tong's turn to honor his father and mother, so I should just enjoy myself...

After everyone had left, Yu Jiang opened the box, revealing a ruby ​​ring, a Rolex watch, and a pocket watch that was almost covered with small diamonds.

This……

Yu Jiang has broadened his horizons. Even after being demoted, they can still bring back so many good things. I think everyone is not simple!

Yu Jiang guessed that they gave him such a good thing because they felt that there was little hope for them to be rehabilitated, so they gave him such a good thing in advance and exchanged it for food and daily necessities, so that they would not feel guilty about receiving it.

As for the ownership of these three things, Yu Jiang could probably guess a little.

The first thing that is easiest to recognize is the Rolex watch. It is obviously the work of the former factory director.

Yu Jiang guessed that he must have bought it to show off, so he didn't buy a domestically produced watch, but chose a foreign watch that was more expensive and had a higher status requirement.

The ruby ​​ring should belong to the old couple. After all, a thumb-sized ruby ​​with no impurities and bright luster must be worth a lot.

Think about the old couple's identities, the former nobles...

Well, it's no surprise they have such good stuff.

The last pocket watch inlaid with small diamonds, although not an antique, is somewhat inconsistent with the young couple who are engaged in archaeological work.

But given how beautiful the pocket watch is, most girls would be tempted by it.

Now this thing is in Yu Jiang's hands, but Yu Jiang has no intention of putting these three things directly into his own collection.

Unless they really cannot hold out until they are rehabilitated, these three things will only be temporarily stored here with Yu Jiang, and they can take them back at any time when they bring the money.

However, archaeology is a profession...

Yu Jiang thought of the countless cultural relics in the space on his bracelet. Maybe he really wanted to take a look. If there was a chance, it would not be impossible to dig up those two archaeologists to work for him.

If there are not enough people, the old couple can also be brought along. Although they are not studying archaeology, as aristocrats, they have seen a lot and naturally mastered some abilities.

Finally, all these things were put into the bracelet space by Yu Jiang, waiting for their owner to come and take them away again.

But these are all stories for the past. Such episodes were not common in Yu Jiang’s life.

……

Finally the break was over, all the people and things from the research institute arrived, and Yu Jiang's first day at work in the Northwest also began.

For this purpose, Yu Jiang specially changed into a darker-colored dress with tougher lines, making her temperament look more majestic.

After all, in addition to the people who had been in the laboratory before, there were also a large number of new people present today.

As a young female leader, if Yu Jiang cannot display her authority and intimidate her subordinates, there will probably be more troubles in the future.

After much consideration, Yu Jiang finally had to accept the fact that her superiors were sending people to her.

This time, there were no high school graduates among the people arranged by the higher authorities. They were all from Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

However, compared to the last time of recruitment, everyone had to go through the entrance examination to the institute. Even though the difficulty of that examination was just average, Yu Jiang still found several good candidates.

Now this batch...

Due to certain political factors from above, the entrance examination to the institute was forced to be cancelled. Without the selection, registering for the institute became a matter of testing one's connections and information.

In terms of quality, this group of people naturally cannot compare with Fan Zhiyuan and his group last time.

Thinking back to when Lu Beiyuan gave the list to Yu Jiang, Yu Jiang was not very satisfied at first glance.

No! I am very dissatisfied!

How can someone who didn't even finish elementary school be recommended to go directly to university without going through middle school and high school?!

With their cultural level, can they really understand the textbooks after going to university?

When Yu Jiang first came to this era and knew about this body when he graduated from high school, he learned about college...

As a result, Yu Jiang decisively gave up the plan of going to university in this era. Even though the title of a college graduate from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University sounds very good nowadays, for Yu Jiang, even if he grabbed the so-called recommendation quota, going to university would be a waste of time.

At that time, she didn't understand why admission to university required recommendation.

When going to university is no longer based on grades or abilities, but entirely on correct political thinking and hard work at work, one will be recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Yu Jiang does not deny that some of these people have good learning abilities.

But it is undeniable that under this system, some people who graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University were not even as good as those who graduated from regular high schools...

And the word "recommended" - you can tell it's got a lot of substance just by hearing it.

Anyway, no matter what others think, Yu Jiang believes that he does not have the spirit of this era and does not have any correct political ideas.

Being able to control himself and be a good person who abides by the law is the greatest kindness that Yu Jiang can show to this society.

Therefore, their laboratory cannot accept people who talk about their thoughts all the time, nor can they stand idiots who think they are superior because they went to college.

Yu Jiang was afraid that he might not be able to control himself and actually do something illegal.

Therefore, the first step Yu Jiang took after getting the list was to cross out those graduates from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University who did not even have a high school diploma.

Half of the people were gone, and Yu Jiang asked Lu Beiyuan to help investigate the rest.
