A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren was sitting at the door listening to Xu Hongxia's words. Her biggest feeling in her heart was that Xu Hongxia was a little short-sighted and too eager for quick success.

Not to mention that this was only the first day she lost the money, and she also had unknown and domineering parents, it wouldn't be necessary for them to fall out today, right?

He didn't ask Chen Jiaojiao when she would come back, nor did he wait to see any news from Chen Jiaojiao. Just because of the food rations, he scolded Chen Jiaojiao. What if Chen Jiaojiao's family mailed the money and things to him?

Although food rations were very precious in that era, Chen Jiaojiao also said that she would go buy some later and promised to eat her food tomorrow morning.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Chen Jiaojiao really has no money and can't even afford food, Xu Hongxia had eaten a lot of good food with Chen Jiaojiao before, but now Chen Jiaojiao has no money. Not to mention thick porridge or rice, she should have at least provided her with a meal of thin food. It became like this so quickly, it's really terrifying to think about it.

Shen Jiaren was still struggling with her conscience, thinking about the horror of human nature, when she heard Xu Hongxia sneer in the room and say, "I'm sorry,

I don’t have much food rations now, and I’m also waiting for food distribution and information subsidies.

If you still want to eat with me, then take out your rations and your share of subsidy, and I will cook for you.

If you can't take it out, I'm sorry, I can't cook for you, and you won't have any food.

By the way, there is one more thing I told you. When we discussed it before, we said that you would give me food subsidies every month, and I would cook for you and help with cleaning and housework.

I'm sorry if the subsidy is not enough, but we will take turns to cook and divide the housework.

But since you can't cook, we'll eat separately, but each of us will do half of the housework."

When Chen Jiaojiao heard this, she retorted, "Have you forgotten that all the food we use to cook was bought by me? You don't say a word about it now, so what? Do you want to use it for free?"

When Xu Hongxia heard what Chen Jiaojiao said, her face turned red, but she still said stubbornly, "I didn't use you in vain, did I? Didn't I help you with work before?"

When Chen Jiaojiao heard this, she got off the kang in anger, stood on the ground and said, "Since you said you want to separate everything, then just separate everything. I hope you don't use all the things I bought. I will pack everything up later. As for housework, we can talk about it when the time comes."

When Xu Hongxia heard Chen Jiaojiao say this, she wanted to say a few more words to Chen Jiaojiao. Why did she have to talk about housework again after the things were taken back?

Before she could say anything, she saw Chen Jiaojiao start to clean up the cooking utensils in the house.

Chen Jiaojiao packed up all the things and stuffed them directly into the closet she bought. After locking it, she turned around and walked out.

Seeing that Chen Jiaojiao was very angry, Xu Hongxia was afraid that if she said a few more words to Chen Jiaojiao, something would happen to her and she would be held responsible, so she stopped talking and walked out of the house, ready to see if she could get a pot from the educated youth point and use it to eat lunch today.

Shen Jiaren was still sitting on the stool, listening to the crackling sounds inside. She didn't know what she was doing. When she looked up, she saw Chen Jiaojiao running out of the door of the educated youth center.

When Shen Jiaren saw this, she hurriedly followed him. After all, she had been following him all day, and she didn't want anything to happen just when she was about to get off work.

Shen Jiaren also ran a few steps, following Chen Jiaojiao not too far away. All they could see was that after Chen Jiaojiao ran a few steps, she stood on the side of the road, crying loudly and sitting on the ground.

Actually, to be honest, before this morning, Shen Jiaren didn't like Chen Jiaojiao at all. Not only was she arrogant, but she was also flamboyant and high-profile. The most important thing was that she was as blind as a person and couldn't tell the good people from the bad. When she met someone who spoke for her and stood on the same team with her, she would share the rest with those she considered to be her teammates, except for keeping some for herself.

But this era, not to mention that now is the most powerful era before the end of the Cultural Revolution, it has been several years since the revolution began. With such a character, not only will she be unlucky, but she will also implicate others. So when Shen Jiaren met Chen Jiaojiao, she basically ignored her, had no contact with her, and avoided her whenever possible.

But when she saw her losing money today, and during the period since she knew something happened in her family, Shen Jiaren discovered that Chen Jiaojiao was not a bad person by nature, but was just spoiled.

To paraphrase a phrase I particularly liked, that is, people who are favored are always fearless. So when Chen Jiaojiao lost so much money, she didn't cry or make a fuss, because she knew that her parents would give her more and she would still have more.

But when she learned that her parents were also in trouble and couldn't help her, and more importantly, that her family members were now in danger of death, she began to lose control of her emotions and broke down in tears.

This group of educated youth who went to the countryside together have been there for a long time, but Chen Jiaojiao has never said what her family does. Even though Liu Weijun has been asking her, Song Xiangxue has been asking her indirectly, and Xu Hongxia has been asking directly, no news has been heard about what Chen Jiaojiao's family does.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the incident of Aunt Zhou blackmailing Chen Jiaojiao. It was because Aunt Zhou didn't hear about Chen Jiaojiao's family conditions, and saw that Chen Jiaojiao was easy to bully and had both money and votes, so she chose Chen Jiaojiao to take action.

But what can I do even if I know?

This is the society and era we live in today.

This place is considered good. There is winter break and you can eat enough. You can borrow food so you don't get dizzy from hunger. There is basic respect. Women are not forced to marry or men to marry.

Even in terms of certain welfare benefits, the educated youth were treated the same as the villagers.

It cannot be denied that Chen Jiaojiao's current state is partly due to her own fault. She does not know how to keep wealth private and does not know how to stew meat under rice before eating it.

Fortunately, only a few people in the educated youth camp guessed that something happened in Chen Jiaojiao's family.

From now on, there will be no more packages of any size, no more feasting and drinking, and more and more people will find out that something has happened in Chen Jiaojiao's family. Only then will it be a test of human nature and Chen Jiaojiao.

In fact, at this time, Shen Jiaren really wanted to rush up to comfort Chen Jiaojiao. Even if she couldn't give her some substantial comfort, at least she could tell her not to lose heart, the darkness would eventually pass, and the light would always come again.

But Shen Jiaren couldn't, because she didn't know what position, identity, or qualifications to guarantee the validity of these words.

Because she didn't know whether Chen Jiaojiao's parents could survive these years, or whether Chen Jiaojiao had the confidence to survive these years.

Shen Jiaren stood behind Chen Jiaojiao, and after watching Chen Jiaojiao finish crying, she walked towards the captain's house.

Chen Jiaojiao went to the team leader's house and told him about her idea of ​​buying grain, but this time the grain would be half coarse grain and half fine grain.

And Chen Jiaojiao also told the team leader that she wanted to move to the empty room to see if it was possible.

Team leader Liu Dashan took a look at Chen Jiaojiao and she looked like she might have just cried. After all, her eyes and nose were still red and swollen, and she was stuttering a little.

Although I was very curious about what happened, I was also curious about why such a delicate girl wanted to move to a house where an educated youth had committed suicide. Wasn't she living with the educated youths at the educated youth camp pretty good before?

But he didn't ask any more questions. He took Chen Jiaojiao to the warehouse to find Accountant Zhou to buy food. When he came back, he gave Chen Jiaojiao the key to the empty room in the Youth League Center and said to Shen Jiaren,

"Shen Zhiqing, after you see Chen Zhiqing move his family, you can go back and rest.

Go to work as usual tomorrow." After saying this, Liu Dashan prepared to go back to his yard.

After walking a few steps, he remembered again and said to Chen Jiaojiao and Shen Jiaren, "You two went to the town for a meeting today. I forgot about you comrades. There are a few things you need to know.

First, we have winter break here. As you all know, we will hold a literacy class during the winter break, and we will need a teacher at that time. The teacher will be selected by the principal of the village primary school, Liu Qiang. The person selected will be nominated by you, the educated youth. The teacher will receive some subsidies, but the specific amount of the subsidies is uncertain. You should also be prepared in case you pass the exam.

Second, the autumn harvest and grain distribution will be soon. After the distribution, advanced collectives will be selected in each brigade. These advanced collectives will affect the number of recommended workers, peasants and soldiers. The recommendation of workers, peasants and soldiers in our village has always been a combination of recommendations from all villagers and drawing lots. The ratio is also discussed by everyone based on the specific number of places.

However, because of the theft of Chen Zhiqing this year, it will definitely affect the brigade's evaluation, but I don't know how much of an impact it will have. So I still hope that the theft case can be resolved as soon as possible before the evaluation, so that it will not affect the evaluation.

Third, grain and meat will be distributed soon. Accountant Zhou is also counting them. If you don’t have enough work points by then, you should prepare some money or tickets to buy more grain to eat during the winter and next year.

However, the theft may still affect the distribution of meat.

Another thing is that everyone is about to start hibernating and will go to the mountains to collect firewood and harvest autumn goods for the winter. When the time comes, remember to go with the people in the village, because it is autumn and the animals also need to hibernate, so be prepared for any accidents.

Also, when you went to the Public Security Bureau, what did the comrades there say about whether the case could be solved?"

Chen Jiaojiao replied, "The police said that it depends on the clues and reports, and the cooperation of the masses."

After listening to this, Liu Dashan nodded, turned around and walked towards his home.

After Chen Jiaojiao watched the team leader enter her room, she also prepared to carry two bags of food back to the educated youth site.

Shen Jiaren looked at Chen Jiaojiao staggering with the food, and she took a bag of food from Chen Jiaojiao, put it on her back, and walked towards the educated youth point.

Seeing Shen Jiaren walking forward silently, Chen Jiaojiao put the bag of fine grain on her back and followed Shen Jiaren.

Shen Jiaren thought for a long time, but couldn't help but say it, so she said to Chen Jiaojiao, "The rations you bought are half fine grains and half coarse grains. How are you going to eat them? Didn't you say you can't cook? What made you think about buying these?"

Chen Jiaojiao replied in a deep voice, probably because she had just cried, "Cook porridge with sweet potatoes and rice, and boil potatoes. I can't cook or fry dishes, but I can cook. I plan to cook for myself, save some, and get by."

When Shen Jiaren heard what Chen Jiaojiao said, she was very curious about what Chen Jiaojiao's expression was like when she said such a thing, but she suppressed her curiosity and said, "Then how did you think of moving to that empty house?"

"Xu Hongxia and I have fallen out this time. If she knew something happened at my house, she would definitely do the same thing as she does now, or even worse, using my things but letting me do half the work. If that's the case, why don't I move out and let her use my things for free?

The current situation is more terrifying to me than the dead."

After hearing what Chen Jiaojiao said, Shen Jiaren suddenly felt that Chen Jiaojiao's IQ wasn't low, maybe she just had too much water in her brain before, and now she has cried a few times and cried all the water away, so she continued, "Then you have to be careful this time.

If a thief steals from you once, he might steal from you a second time, especially if you live alone now, so you must be careful when you sleep.

There are also these rations and your own valuables, so you have to hide them well.

In fact, when I was buying food just now, I wanted to advise you that since you live alone and your safety cannot be guaranteed, you should buy less food and buy more after you have eaten it all."

"It's okay. I've already thought about the food rations. I have to buy this for the educated youths. They know that I still have a family background. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will bully me even more."

Shen Jiaren replied, "Don't talk about whether you are bullied or not. People are like this. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They step on the powerful and flatter the weak. Only when you stand up for yourself can you avoid being bullied by others.

And you never know, in the eyes of others, what you see as bullying may be different from what others see as bullying.

Oh, there is one more thing.

When you go to bed at night, remember to put something heavy on the door latch and place your porcelain basin next to the door, upside down. This way, if someone comes in and steps on the porcelain basin, or if the door latch is pried open and the porcelain basin is hit by something, it will make a sound, thus ensuring your safety.

Also, when you sleep, put something under your pillow so that you can easily pick it up and use it for self-defense."

Chen Jiaojiao walked behind Shen Jiaren, listening to Shen Jiaren's nagging words, and felt that Shen Jiaren might be a cold-hearted person, otherwise she wouldn't have given her so many instructions, nor would she have sent her things when she was sick, nor would she have accompanied her the whole day today, and still nagging her so patiently about what to pay attention to.

In an instant, Chen Jiaojiao's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and down her cheeks.

Shen Jiaren didn't hear Chen Jiaojiao's answer, so she continued, "Go back and look around the house and tidy it up, to see where you can hide things, or you can think of a place to hide things yourself.

Remember?"

After hearing what Shen Jiaren said, Chen Jiaojiao's tears flowed silently even harder.
