A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

This is the living condition of the educated youth. You may not be used to it at first, but you will get used to it slowly and it will be fine.

Fine grains like rice and flour are only available to families with better financial conditions and they can be improved privately. When people eat together, few can afford to take them out. After all, there are not many fine grains and they are not forbidden to eat.

After the meal was ready, Zhao Yuanchao called everyone to come and get the food. He also called the new educated youth to get their own lunch boxes, because everyone had to eat their own lunch boxes, so as to avoid conflicts caused by who ate more or less.

After all, food is very important at this time.

Except for the spoiled Chen Jiaojiao who was not used to such a lifestyle, the rest of the people had already picked up their lunch boxes and started eating.

Especially the old educated youth, who had not eaten meat for a long time. Although it was canned meat, it at least tasted like meat, which was considered an improvement in their lives.

Although there was not much meat in the canned meat, on average everyone got a piece. Because it was Chen Jiaojiao who took the can, she got two more pieces.

The old educated youth were very happy and satisfied with the meal. After all, the dishes stewed in the big pot were full of meat flavor, which was much better than the dishes stewed in boiled water they had eaten before.

The new educated youths felt nervous when they saw the old educated youths like this. Liu Weijun couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since you last had meat?"

Zhao Yuanchao replied: "It has been a long time. The countryside is different from the city. If you want to eat meat, you can only wait until the end of the year when pigs are slaughtered. Moreover, the meat is distributed according to your work points. It is difficult to eat meat at other times.

To buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative, you need meat tickets. Only people who work in the city can get meat tickets. If the villagers want to eat meat, they have to exchange it with the city people.

Of course, if your family could subsidize you with meat coupons, this would not happen.

So, it’s normal to not have meat for a few months, you have to get used to it.”

After hearing what Zhao Yuanchao said, the newly arrived educated youth fell silent, and even the speed at which they ate slowed down.

How are we going to live after several months without meat or fine grains?

Although life in the city was a bit poor, we could always eat meat when our family got paid, and we could also eat fine grains a few times a month.

How do we live in this life when we have nothing?

Zhao Yuanchao watched their actions, smiled, and said nothing more.

At first, these old educated youths couldn't accept it.

Isn’t it accepted now? Habits are good things. Some educated youth couldn’t get used to it, so they just married the villagers, right?

Before going to the countryside, no one could have imagined that life in the countryside would be like this.

After coming here, I found that it was not so good. My enthusiasm could not fill my stomach. When I regretted it and wanted to go back, I found that it was not so easy.

You return to the city either according to the return-to-city indicators, or your parents retire and you go back to inherit their jobs.

There are only a few quotas for returning to the city every year, and everyone is watching. How can you go back if you don’t have connections or means?

Inheriting parents' jobs? ? In this era, jobs in the city are extremely scarce. Every family has several children. If they were really given jobs, how could they appear in the group of people going to the countryside? ?

It’s easy to go to the countryside, but hard to go back to the city!!!

Everyone has their own way of living, and every way of living can allow one to survive, but the degree of difficulty in living is different.

After listening to this, Shen Jiaren felt deeply moved. The times are like a torrent, carrying everyone forward voluntarily or passively. It cannot be stopped and no one will stay.

I am better off. I have my father's food coupon book and the manor, so I feel a little more confident.

If you really have nothing and go to the countryside, you probably won't be able to endure such a life and will think of other ways to live, such as getting married.

All I can do now is study hard, make progress every day, and pray that the college entrance examination in three years will come as scheduled so that I can return to the city and go to school.

After the meal, Zhao Yuanchao said, "Today's meal is made with the rations of the old educated youth. After washing up, please give me your rations for today. After all, we have to eat two meals today. Now everyone's rations are very precious. If you eat it, it's gone. If it's gone, you'll have to go hungry.

The old educated youths can wash and rest for a while, and the new educated youths can also rest after taking the rations. After everyone has rested, the new educated youths can go to the supply and marketing cooperative together. If the old educated youths want to go too, remember to ask for leave from the team leader. If you have anything to bring back, remember to tell me or tell the person you want to bring it to. "

After that, everyone dispersed and went back to their own rooms.
