Infinite Streamer

After Zhou Zhigang asked the doctor, he learned that Zhou Bingkun fainted due to malnutrition and hunger (but he didn't know the real reason was that Zhou Bingkun fainted because he saw a ghost for the first time). He felt sad and guilty, but in this era, all kinds of supplies were in short supply.

In the 1950s and 1960s, food was rationed in cities, divided into large and small groups, and the monthly supply standard for adults was mostly between 25.5 kilograms and 32.3 kilograms. However, the government also took into account the different characteristics of food needs of people in different industries, and there were slight differences in the supply of food coupons.

For example, urban residents have 25.5 kilograms of food coupons, while government officials and teachers have more, that is, 27 or 28 kilograms. Physical education teachers have more than other teachers, which is also because physical training consumes more energy and requires more food. Frontline workers who do physical work also have more food coupons, with a monthly supply of 35 kilograms of food coupons. Middle school students are in the period of growth, so they are allocated 28 to 30 kilograms of food coupons. Minors are given different standards of food coupons according to their age groups. Zhou Bingkun's standard is 20 kilograms of food coupons.

In short, in that era, as soon as a child was born in the city, he or she would go to the police station with the birth certificate to apply for household registration, and then go to the grain station to apply for grain and oil supply. Grain and oil supply officially began in the second month, and each person was supplied with four taels of vegetable oil per month. Without grain and oil household registration, it was basically impossible to live in the city.

Zhou Zhigang rode his bicycle carrying Zhou Bingkun and slowly returned to the small river outside the Guangzi piece.

Zhou Bingkun sat on the crossbeam of a 28-inch truck, looking at the clear stream. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and a few yellow leaves fell from the sycamore trees by the river. They landed in the stream, like yellow fish swimming in the water. The grass by the river had turned yellow by the autumn wind, and a few birds whose names were unknown were flying back and forth among the withered grass and branches.

Zhou Zhigang parked the car, carried Zhou Bingkun down, told him not to go into the river, rolled up his trouser legs, and went down the river bank to the overgrown tidal flat area.

Although Zhou Zhigang has lived in the Yimeng Mountains since he was a child, there is a small river near his hometown, so he has been accustomed to playing the trick of catching fish by building a dike. After a while, he separated an area of ​​water, and from time to time he caught a few loaches, eels, small white stripes and crabs. Although they are relatively small in size, they are enough for the family of five to have a snack.

Zhou Bingkun watched his father busy all the time, obviously to provide more nutrition for himself and his family, and he felt inexplicably moved. He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to change so that they could all live a happy life.

After a long time of hard work, Zhou Zhigang finally made a thin rope out of dry grass, tied the fish tightly, wrapped it with large leaves, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and took Zhou Bingkun back to the small courtyard in Guangzipian.

This courtyard was arranged by the government for Zhou Zhigang's family to live in after liberation. Before liberation, it was the old residence of an important official named Chen in the Ministry of Justice of the puppet Manchukuo. It is very old and is very dilapidated and simple.

The Guangzi area is a gathering place for immigrants from Guandong and overseas Chinese returning from the Soviet Union. It has a mixed population, good and bad mixed together, and the management is extremely chaotic.

The Guangzi Pian was indeed very dilapidated and simple, just like a slum, and it had brought indelible pain to countless people's memories. There were people who accidentally broke their legs in the winter, children who drowned in the toilet when going to the toilet alone, and old people who froze to death because of no fire to keep warm. These incidents were common and too numerous to mention.
