1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled
Chapter 3 Prepare for a rainy day
"What are you looking at? If you dare to ask me for dumplings, I will beat you..." The second brother Du Yidonggang glared at the fifth brother fiercely, then pushed the last two dumplings in his bowl into the fifth brother's bowl.
This brat's stomach is like a bottomless pit and can never be filled. Fortunately, he deliberately ate slowly and left two for himself.
"Thank you, second brother! You are so nice. When I make money in the future, I will make meat dumplings for you every day." The fifth brother started to make big promises with his little mouth, and then he gobbled them up. He finished the two dumplings in a minute.
Du Yimeng twitched her lips when she saw this. She took one dumpling from the bowl and put it into each person's bowl. When it was Du's mother's turn, she took two.
She didn't notice it at first, but only then did she notice that her mother's bowl was almost all dumpling soup.
"Da Meng, eat your own dumplings. Don't give them to them. Their stomachs are like bottomless pits. No amount of food can fill them. Mom doesn't like dumplings..." Du's mother stopped Du Yimeng immediately when she saw her putting dumplings into other people's bowls. When it was her turn, she quoted a classic quote from her mother.
When we were little, we always thought our mother was a picky eater because she always said she didn't like this or that. But when we grew up, we realized it wasn't that she didn't like the food, but that she wanted to save the good food for her children.
This situation may be rare in later generations, but in this era, it is everywhere.
"I don't have a big appetite..." Du Yimeng said with a smile. Compared to her family, her living conditions are already very good.
In the past few years, she would occasionally send some money home, but she didn't dare send too much. After all, she was still a student, and even if she worked part-time, she couldn't earn much.
"Da Meng, how do you arrange your work?" Du Weihai hesitated for a long time after dinner, but finally asked.
He had wanted to ask for a long time, but was afraid that something might happen at work. If he asked, wouldn't it hurt the child's feelings?
However, seeing that the child had been smiling since he entered the house, he bravely asked.
As soon as Du Weihai finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Du Yimeng.
"The work is assigned to a machinery factory, but I don't know the specific position yet," said Du Yimeng.
Du's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the school had assigned her a job. Her daughter was different from her son. If her son couldn't find a job, he could still go out and carry heavy bags.
If a girl doesn't have a job, she will be looked down upon even if she gets married.
They spent almost half of their family savings to pay for their second son's job, and they really couldn't afford to buy a job for their eldest daughter.
"Sister, will you be a worker in the future?" Lao Wu asked excitedly. With three workers in his family in the future, will he be able to eat a little more fully?
It's just that his second brother is not so well off, with only 15 yuan a month. If his brother could help more, maybe he could have enough to eat.
If Du Yidonggang could hear Lao Wu's inner thoughts, Lao Wu would definitely be beaten up and couldn't escape.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. I'm just a technical secondary school student, and I'll be a cadre in the future." The fourth brother retorted. His biggest wish was to be admitted to a technical secondary school like his sister. As for becoming a college student, he had never thought about it.
It's a pity that his grades are not good. He also wants to work hard because the outside world always attracts him.
Du Weihai and his wife couldn't help but raise their chins. They had known about this for a long time, and they were very happy to think that their family would have a cadre.
"I'm not a cadre either. I studied mechanics and should be assigned to the technical department." Du Yimeng explained quickly. She didn't want to go out again tomorrow. The old ladies in the entire family compound were discussing whether she was a cadre.
"No one is allowed to go out and talk nonsense. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, you will not be allowed to eat for a day." Du's mother glanced at everyone fiercely, including Du Weihai. As her husband's partner, how could she not know what kind of person he is.
The job has not been confirmed yet, and she doesn't want her eldest daughter's job to be ruined because of her family's nonsense.
Although she wasn't what those people outside said she was, she was still a technician, the top position in the family compound. She was the one who gave birth to her daughter, and she was proud...
The four brothers shuddered subconsciously. A beating wouldn't be a big deal, as they were often beaten, and they were afraid of going hungry for a day.
……
Before going to bed at night, Du's mother quietly came to Du Yimeng's room, took out a small cloth bag and took out a pair of black leather shoes from it.
"You will report to the factory tomorrow, so dress well so that you won't be assigned to work as a worker downstairs." Du's mother said calmly, but her facial muscles were stiff, and it was obvious that she was not as calm as she appeared.
This pair of small leather shoes cost a full 18 yuan, and the shoe ticket was required. She was almost heartbroken. But thinking of her daughter's job, she had to bear the pain.
Du Yimeng felt warm in her heart. Lao Wu had said that the family could only eat two steamed buns for one meal, which showed that the family was really out of money. Even so, her mother still spent so much money to buy her a pair of leather shoes.
In fact, her work has basically been assigned and is waiting for her to report. It doesn't matter whether she wears these leather shoes or not.
But this is the love of a mother for her child!
"Don't listen to what Lao Wu says. He's just a talkative person. The situation at home hasn't reached the point he says it does." Seeing that her daughter looked worried, Du's mother quickly comforted her.
With the financial power in her hands, she knew best how much money the family had. Now that the ration had been reduced and food prices were rising, she didn't know what the future would hold. She worried about the family going hungry, so she prepared for a rainy day.
"Mom, I heard that food prices will go up. I still have some banknotes here. Let's buy all the food!" Du Yimeng took out a small box full of small banknotes, which added up to more than 30 yuan and more than 20 kilograms of food coupons.
She still had more than 300 yuan in her space, but she didn't dare take it out. Now the price of food has only risen a little, and in another year, she won't be able to buy food even if she has money.
Du's mother hesitated for a moment, but still took the money. However, she only took 20 yuan, saying that the girl was grown up and should have some money of her own.
She didn't ask any more questions because she thought the same thing. She had experienced hardship, and food was the foundation of human survival.
After Du's mother left, Du Yimeng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. It was too hot. The room, separated by wooden planks, was small and had no windows.
Living in a house like this in the middle of summer is simply a sin!
There's nothing that can be done about it. Every household lives in a similar situation now. Her place is relatively better, but the other members of the Du family have to share a small room with two people, which is really miserable.
She had to find a way to get a ticket for a fan, and also find a way to stock up more food. Without food, life would be difficult in the next two years.
Thinking about the generous rewards the system gave her every time, she felt that she loved studying the most.
