Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

"Ahem, regarding the current situation of grain work, the whole country may have a bumper harvest this year, but the higher-ups have emphasized that waste is not allowed. We should try our best to only eat within the allocated quota and not engage in those unhealthy practices. After we have eaten our fill, we must work hard to focus on production and not sit around and do nothing.

The other thing is the publicity of the order on the unified measurement system. Since June 25th to today, a full month has passed, many jokes and conflicts have occurred, and even social security has been seriously affected. Today, the staff of the street office went to each courtyard to issue notices to publicize the order.

I will repeat this order. The metric system is to be used as the basic unit of measurement and to be promoted throughout the country. The city system is to be retained. The city system originally set 16 taels as one catty. Because the conversion is troublesome, it should be changed to 10 taels as one catty. In the future, when you go to a store to buy something, don't think that the salesperson is shortchanging you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately stood up and began to talk about the tasks assigned to them by the street office today. First, he said that today might be a good harvest, and then he agreed to ten taels per catty.

Hearing this, Xu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment. When he went to buy food today, he thought that ten taels equaled one catty. He didn't expect that the ten taels equaled one catty was only introduced this year. Although it was in his original memory, Xu Dongsheng still followed his previous life's thinking. But it was okay, after all, it was quite troublesome to calculate catties in hexadecimal.

"What about the coupons we issued before? How can I still have a few kilograms of grain coupons? If what Third Master said is true, then wouldn't we lose six taels for every kilogram of grain?"

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out and said that he would suffer a great loss. Yes, according to this, the difference in weight on the bill is indeed quite large, because the bill is written with the number of catties, not the number of sixteen taels. If you calculate it this way, if the bill issued in the past when it was sixteen taels is used now, it is indeed a big loss.

"That's right. We still have a lot of food coupons. We lost six ounces of this pound for no reason. Isn't this bullying? Do you think we are an orphan and a widow and easy to bully? Yan Bugui, please explain clearly."

As soon as that person finished speaking, Jia Zhang, who was standing behind Jia Dongxu with the image of a loving mother, suddenly looked unhappy. She walked to the front and looked at Yan Bugui with a bad face.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, this is an order from above. Do you mean that they are bullying you? Are you going against them? And your family still has surplus food coupons? Who told you to save them? Look at the old Yan family, they budget so carefully every month and still don't have any surplus. How much is your family's monthly ration? How is it possible to have so many surplus food coupons? Stop making trouble here."

When Yan Bugui saw Jia Zhang's anger, he stopped talking instantly and glanced at Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai pretended not to see it, but Liu Haizhong was not afraid of Jia Zhang and thought that Jia Zhang was challenging his authority. When Yi Zhonghai didn't show up, Liu Haizhong immediately put on a frown and looked at Jia Zhang as if to say, "You don't have the final say here, only I have the final say." And Liu Haizhong was not so naive that he could only show off his power. He had some brains when he spoke.

He directly put a hat on Jia Zhang and then told about the situation of their family. As the eldest master in the courtyard, even if he couldn't know everything about the courtyard, he at least had to know it clearly, so he directly told about the situation of Jia Zhang's family.

"Liu Haizhong, you dead bastard, who are you calling the shots?"

"Mom, stop talking."

When Jia Zhang saw Liu Haizhong refutating her, although Liu Haizhong's words made sense, who was Jia Zhang? Could anyone bully her? She was a person who would make a scene even if she was unreasonable, so Jia Zhang immediately became like a cat with its fur blown up, and turned into a shrew to fight with Liu Haizhong.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu hurriedly pulled Jia Zhangshi. Although Jia Zhangshi was the one who had the final say in the family, he felt too embarrassed to see Jia Zhangshi making a fool of himself with everyone staring at him, wanting to laugh at their family.

"Okay, stop talking and let Old Yan continue."

Yi Zhonghai was a little annoyed when he saw the shrew Jia Zhangshi. He wanted to pretend that he didn't know her, but he was the boss here, so he had to stand up and say something. Then he scolded Jia Zhangshi.

Because Yi Zhonghai is Jia Dongxu's master, and he is also a seventh-level worker in the steel rolling mill, which is not a low level. Although Jia Zhang is unreasonable and looks extremely aggressive, she is also a person who survived the war years and cannot be a fool.

He now wants Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age. If Jia Dongxu is framed by Yi Zhonghai, she will be the one who suffers. Even if Jia Dongxu is obedient and may give her good things, if she is not nice to Jia Dongxu now, her life may be difficult when she is old.

"Ahem, there is no other way to solve the problem that the old Jia family mentioned. If your family still has unused food coupons, then you are out of luck.

Because this is mandatory, from the time the order was issued, no matter if it was a bill issued before or last month, the jin marked on the bill is calculated as 10 liang per jin. It is useless to keep the bills before, and they cannot be used after the date. If you lose money, it is your own responsibility. Don't cause trouble to the country and society. Do you understand?

Another piece of good news is that after all our efforts, not only do we not lock our doors at night, but we also do not lock our doors at other times. This year, our courtyard is likely to be rated as an advanced and civilized courtyard. If it is rated, there will not only be certain material rewards, but every household will also get a share, and this is also a kind of honor. "

When Yan Bugui heard Jia Zhang say that their family still had food coupons, he felt a little gloating, but he didn't show it. Anyway, their family wouldn't have any large amounts of food coupons left. They were basically small amounts, which were used to prevent their children from accidentally eating at other people's homes and then making up for it.

Moreover, most people used up their food coupons as soon as they got them, because every household was struggling to make ends meet, and the landlords had no surplus food, let alone them. Besides, these coupons were time-limited and would become invalid upon expiration. Who would be so stupid as to keep their food coupons?

So after the above policies came down, if you have useless food coupons, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Seeing everyone's bitter faces, Yan Bugui finally said something that made everyone happy. That is honor. Although there is no reward in this advanced and civilized compound, you will get some melon seeds and peanuts as a reward if you are selected.

Not to mention that melon seeds and peanuts are rare, but what excites everyone the most is the honor of being admitted to the Advanced and Civilized Compound. You have to know that these five simple words come with a certificate. This is honor, and honor is paramount. In this era, people pay attention to fame and honor. Being admitted to the Advanced and Civilized Compound is a good thing, but the most important thing is that it will be easier for the young men in this compound to find a partner in the future.

Sure enough, when they heard that the advanced civilization compound might be their compound, the sounds in the compound became much better.

"Okay, today's meeting is over. Everyone should go to bed early. We still have to go to work tomorrow. We all need to work hard and strive to make contributions to the development of the country. Let's adjourn the meeting."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the compound had recovered a little, Yi Zhonghai picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"Oh, let's go home!!"

After Yi Zhonghai announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. At this time, Xu Dongsheng finally saw the children in the yard, including the two little ones from Yan Bugui's family and Jia Dongxu's eldest son. It is a joke that Xu Dongsheng was nicknamed the Thief Saint of the Universe by many netizens in his previous life.

At this time, Banggeng had the love of his parents. Although he was a little naughty, he was not annoying. After leaving with many friends, he surrounded Qin Huairu and pulled her clothes. Qin Huairu saw Banggeng coming and rubbed his head lovingly.
