59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Once inside, it was fine. There was firewood burning in the stove, mostly shrubs and a small amount of wood piles.

There are few trees in the plains. If one tree is cut down, it will take three to five years to replace it. Therefore, the tree stumps must be burned to avoid wasting resources.

"Wow furnace!"

Seeing the burning stove, Chen Xing immediately became excited.

"Haha, a stove, we can grill meat!" Chen Li also shouted happily.

"Okay, barbecue, barbecue!"

Grandpa opened the cabinet with a smile and took out the saved oil and stored pork.

The village still slaughtered a pig this year, and every household received a few pounds of meat.

They couldn't bear to eat it, so they made it all into bacon and smoked meat, waiting for the children to come back.

"Hehe, big sister, pork, let's roast pork together!" Chen Li immediately jumped over and did not forget to call Zhang Haixiong.

Zhang Haixiong and Chen Hao came in carrying a large bag of supplies.

Chen Jianjun was at the back, unloading two sacks of coal, which were cold-resistant fuel prepared for the Zhou family.

There are few trees in Zhoujiagou, and they are all used to build houses, so people are reluctant to cut them down.

Using shrubs and grass to keep warm in winter actually does not provide enough heat.

The commune's supply and marketing cooperative also had coal for sale, but based on his understanding of Zhou Jing, he would definitely not be willing to buy it.

cold?

Then just stay in bed and don’t get out, and you won’t be cold anymore!

"It's so inconvenient to deliver coal from such a long distance?" Zhou Jing said embarrassedly, "Our production team received a pig from the commune this year. In addition to a batch of old clothes, they also gave us some coupons."

"I also got 300 kilograms of coal tickets, and I've already exchanged them all!"

You need coal tickets to buy coal!

Otherwise, Chen Feng would have bought the coal directly from the commune supply and marketing station in Tianjin. Why would he have to send it so far away and waste so much space!

When the car started, he put the coal at the back of the car into the space.

I put it back in secretly when I got here.

Save oil!

Coal tickets began to appear in 1955, but were not promoted nationwide until 1962.

I wonder if the whole of Nanluoguxiang followed the Chen family in making honeycomb coal, and if this was promoted throughout the city this winter, it would have produced an additional causal effect.

Some small factories have produced coal briquette machines!

Not all factories are conservative and unwilling to adapt to market changes.

In fact, many factory leaders have a heart for progress!

It was found that coal balls mixed with loess could prolong the burning time and the cost of use became lower again. Many families began to be willing to burn coal for heating at home in winter and were not willing to save those few cents!

Millions of ordinary people burn coal for heating, and the supply from coal plants has become tight again, and even coal tickets have become scarce.

These tickets were given to Chen Feng by other factories when he exchanged them for pork.

It is difficult for individuals to obtain a large number of bills, but it is much easier for factories and units.

"Is there a kang at home?" Zhou Qing asked after hearing that Zhou Jing had bought coal.

She now burns firewood in her house, and it is pine wood, which naturally has a slight fragrance. Chen Xing, who was a few months old, likes to lie on the crib and smile at the kang.

In the middle of the night, the little guy woke up, climbed along the edge of the bed, and crawled around next to his parents.

The warmth brought by the kang will prevent him from catching a cold or getting sick.

"Not yet. I'll install one for Dad's house in the spring of next year." Zhou Jing became anxious when he saw his father was about to confiscate most of the gifts brought by Chen Jianjun.

"Dad, leave me a few packs of cigarettes!"

Thanks to the visits of several junior leaders yesterday, the old man gave Chen Jianjun a small portion of his money, plus two jars of health-preserving wine, and asked him to bring it over.

Zhou Jing loves drinking and smoking, a typical country man!

But because he was under the control of his wife, he didn't dare to buy it and could only wait for Chen Feng to come and help him.

Grandpa took a look and picked out a pack of the cheapest Daqianmen cigarettes and threw it to his son.

We were all happy to see a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes inside!

He smokes too!

I just can’t bear to buy good cigarettes and only smoke cheap tobacco.

"Dad, I bought you some good cigarettes!" Zhou Dinghai gave his father a pack of Peony cigarettes, and the cigarette tickets were sponsored by Chen Feng.

"Haha, my son is so good!"

Zhou Jing immediately put the peony into his pocket.

"Dad, I bought you some good wine!" Zhou Fubo opened his schoolbag, which was sewn for them by the old lady. The style was based on the backpack drawn by Chen Feng. It was very similar to the travel bags of later generations and was made of sheepskin.

Zhou Jing couldn't stop smiling.

Zhou Fubo bought him a bottle of Xifeng wine, and the wine ticket was also earned by Chen Feng from selling pork.

Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and department stores are having a big sale on their inventory, releasing a large amount of supplies at once. Otherwise, it would be difficult to buy good cigarettes and alcohol on weekdays.

The aunt glared at her two sons.

It goes without saying that her son used the money she was responsible for 'entrusting' to buy cigarettes and alcohol!

"Mom, we bought something for you too."

Chen Feng and the others watched and realized that it was time for the two little guys to perform.

The two brothers bought hairpins and shampoo for their mother.

My aunt didn't even know what shampoo was. She felt bad about the money, but at the same time, she was happy that her two sons had finally grown up a lot. She asked, "What is this?"

Seagull Shampoo was one of the best-selling products of the supply and marketing cooperatives in the 1960s and 1970s. It was a white solid paste packaged in a plastic box with a seagull pattern printed on it.

“This is for washing your hair!”

Chen Li quickly responded, "Aunt, look at my head, is it clean?"

"Oh, so that's how it is." My aunt couldn't help laughing. "Lily has long and beautiful hair!"

"Whee!"

Although Seagull Shampoo is not as good as later shampoos, it can remove dandruff, prevent hair loss, and make hair soft and shiny.

An antique brand produced in 1952

Many people like to use Seagull Shampoo to wash their hair, thinking that it is better than soap and has more effect than shampoo.

"But don't use this often, once a month is fine." Zhou Qing reminded: "This has side effects. Long-term use will make your hair dry and yellow."

"Okay, I'll use it sparingly."

Give a gift to my mother, and then show respect to the two elders.

Compared to the small items given to parents, these two things are big items given to the elderly, not counting the clock.

One is a bamboo shell thermos, which has excellent heat preservation performance, so that the boiled water can be kept warm for a long time. Nowadays, people in the countryside are poor and few have tickets to buy industrial products.

Unlike the 80s, the three major items could all flow into the countryside.

One is a cowhide hot water bottle.

An old-fashioned hot water bottle, one that is ceramic, can be filled with hot water and lasts a long time.

It is made of cowhide and sealed with high-grade glue, similar to the hot water bottle of later generations.

Ceramic is the best, but it is very expensive. Cowhide is cheaper, but it is only relatively cheap, only a few dollars!

Cowhide bags are expensive in themselves, and using high-grade glue makes them even more expensive!

The two old men's eyes were wet!

My grandson can earn money and I can buy them gifts!
