In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Planned grain and oil were very cheap, rice was 70 cents per pound, white flour was one yuan, and oil was 30 cents.

The combined monthly salary of a family of two working couples is nearly 60 yuan, which is enough to buy several hundred kilograms of food.

But no matter how much money you have, you can't buy more food.

Children gain 14 kilograms per month, and adults gain 28 kilograms.

With relatives coming a few times a month, there is not enough food.

The grain market is not open, so you can only buy potatoes and carrots to supplement your food supply. You can also go to the public grain store to buy "smart grain".

One pound of planned grain can buy four pounds of broken rice.

One pound of noodle tickets can buy three pounds of broken noodles.

One pound of food coupons can buy five pounds of good dried sweet potatoes, and if they are black, moldy and broken, you can buy seven pounds.

The supply of "qiaoliang" is limited, and you have to rely on acquaintances and connections.

If you go to your grandparents' house in the countryside and bring more than ten pounds of broken noodles, they will regard them as a rare snack.

There is no "qiaoyou", so just buy fatty pork and make lard.

Pork is also supplied with tickets, so you don’t buy lean meat, you buy fat.

The fried fat is very fragrant.

Eating too much lard in winter will make you feel nauseous. When the food gets cold, the white lard will solidify on the surface like mold, which looks disgusting.

Therefore, people try to save soybean oil throughout the year and eat lard in spring and autumn.

People often use street letters of introduction to exchange the food in their plan books for local food coupons, and then go to hotels to exchange them for national food coupons with travelers on business trips. Thirty kilograms of national food coupons can be used to buy one kilogram of soybean oil.

But there are also some that skip stones.

Although the monthly food supply is limited, it is only enough for every family to have enough food.

But most housewives still try to buy more side dishes or grains to eat, and save some planned grain to give to the frail and sick elders in the countryside.

That's refined rice and flour, which are used as nutritional supplements in rural areas.

It was already 6:30 when the two came back. Jiang Xiu had already sent Jiang Huainan to wait at the gate of the staff quarters with the oil tank.

Jiang Xiu took the rice bag from Gu Lixia and poured the rice into the jar.

Jiang Wen fell over.

Jiang Huainan also came back with the oil tank.

When Jiang Wen went to fetch water, Gu Lixia went up to the top of the gate and started to store water.

When Jiang Wen was carrying the third load, Gu Lixia pointed to the vegetable patch.

Jiang Wen began to take turns carrying water into the vegetable fields, using water lilies and solar hot water bottles.

Bai Xue's father followed Jiang Wen and carried a load of water and poured it directly into the vegetable field, and then carried another load into the water chestnut field.

Because Jiang Wen signaled Gu Lixia to pull the bucket up.

Bai Xue’s father carried two loads, said something and went back.

So in the evening when Bai Xue's grandmother brought Bai Xue to take a bath, Jiang Huaibei went in to teach her how to use it, and Bai Xue was very happy.

He also asked Jiang Wen, "Do I keep my word?"

Jiang Wen nodded affirmatively, "It counts, just like Jiang Huaibei, we are indeed good friends."

Snow White was extremely happy.

Next, Aunt Hu also asked Grandma Bai Xue and carried two buckets of water for the Jiang family.

Then one day follows another.

One child a day.

……

On the evening of the 31st, considering that it was already the end of July, the apple season was ripe.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen picked 30 apples and put them in the Jiang family's kitchen.

On August 1st, Jiang Wen has to work the night shift again.

The family fell silent again.

Gu Lixia received her salary and bills in the morning.

Jiang Xiu brought back Jiang Huainan and the others' mattress.

After lunch, Gu Lixia went for a nap, and Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu started sewing the mattress cover.

Three children were with him.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wen went to the Space Library to study.

The house became quiet again.

August 2nd is another Sunday.

Jiang Wen went to sleep in the space after finishing his night shift.

Gu Lixia went to queue up first to buy 2 kilograms of pork.

Cleaned my room.

Buy the wires before taking them out of the space.

After Jiang Wen woke up, the two of them worked together to move the table where Jiang Huainan had studied before. They first nailed the previous summer cloth mosquito net to the wall and hung it up, then cut a 1-meter section in the middle.

Then start to re-route the lines and turn off the power first.

Unload the Jiang family’s old line.

This time, the wiring was for one lamp and two switches in each room, and the system bought wires and switches that looked like those of this era.

The light is 70cm above the desk near the kang.

But the light switch is on the wall inside the wardrobe, 50 cm away from the kang, and can be reached by hand, through the summer mosquito net.

The other one is next to the mirror on the wall next to the sliding door, in case it gets dark early in the winter and you can't find the place.

Then, we pulled the wires and installed the lights and switches in Jiang Xiu's house.

Finally, the summer cloth mosquito net.

Next is the main room and kitchen.

Finally, there are electrical wires, lights, and summer cloth mosquito nets in Jianghuai’s south room.

After lunch, Gu Lixia took two backpacks and went out with Jiang Wen on a bicycle again.

The vegetables in the Jiang family’s vegetable patch.

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

Grow vibrantly.

I came back with the eggs I had exchanged for 3.5 yuan at Zhang Zhu's house.

The other basket was filled with apples, 30 apples, each weighing one pound.

After returning, Gu Lixia cooked meat dishes: braised pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, boiled pork slices, and deep-fried pork.

Vegetarian dishes: tiger skin green peppers, cold red beans, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steamed apple with glutinous rice.

Soup: Mung bean soup.

Steamed rice.

We invited several factory managers and Aunt Cui and her husband to have a house-warming banquet.

When they came, they all brought plaster statues of the Chairman.

Gu Lixia put them all in Jiang Xiu's house first.

The three children were not allowed to leave the dinner table.

The eight-immortals table was moved directly to Jiang Huainan's room, and the desks of Jiang Huainan and Jiang Xiuwu were also moved.

They ate together in the main room.

Jiang Huainan will eat by himself. Jiang Wen will come over and then Gu Lixia, then Jiang Huaibei, then his younger brother Jiang Huaixi, then Jiang Xiu.

To Jiang Xiu's right is Jiang Huainan.

Jiang Huainan used to have Aunt Cui, Uncle Cui, and Deputy Director Zheng.

On the other side were Director Xu, Deputy Director Bai, and Deputy Director Liu.

Director Xu and Deputy Director Bai praised Jiang Wen highly because of Jiang's father and elder brother.

Deputy Director Zheng also looked up to Gu Lixia because of his mother's nagging.

Deputy Director Liu listened to Shen Yue's report, saw Gu Lixia's achievements, and was satisfied that Gu Lixia would not drag him down.

Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui have been neighbors with the Jiang family for many years, so they are naturally close to Jiang Wen.

So at the dinner table, everyone carries the fancy sedan.

Praise people's skills and the good decoration of their home.

Even children should be praised for being able to eat.

We finished the house-warming feast happily.

After seeing off the guests, Gu Lixia gave each of them two apples, saying, "These are peace apples. Take them. I got these today when I was returning to the village. On the way back, I met someone carrying a basket of apples. I traded them for some grain."

Everyone took it naturally. Aunt Cui wanted to stay and help, but Gu Lixia didn't let her.

Let Jiang Wen enter the space to rest.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu took Jiang Huainan to clean up.

Then move the tables and chairs.

Everyone returns to their respective positions.

The last five plaster statues of Chairman Mao were given to Gu Lixia, Jiang Xiuwu, and Jiang Huainanwu, with three each. Everyone had one.

Put them all on the desk.

Everyone went out to take a shower and returned to the house.

Gu Lixia entered the space and asked the system to buy a quilt cover and mattress cover for Jiang Huainan as well.
