Liu Lang sat on the kang with infinite emotion, in order to eat eggs and raise chickens, this kind of thing is simply unimaginable after more than ten years, but in 1980, the salary in this era is not high, his father is the workshop director in the factory, and he takes the lead in working hard and earns 36 yuan a month, and his mother is an accountant in a machine tool factory, 25 yuan a month, of course, the price of eggs is not high, an egg is about seven or eight cents, and you can afford to buy it, but in this era of extreme scarcity of materials, you may not be able to buy food if you have money, and you also need to have food stamps。

You must know that in 1980 there was no free market, everything was supplied by the state, and to buy grain you had to go to the grain station, and to buy meat and eggs, you had to go to the grocery store, but the goods of the state were very scarce, so the supply of tickets became the characteristic of this era.

For example, if you want to buy a pound of rice, in addition to taking money, you also have to take a pound of rice ticket to buy it, if you don't have a rice ticket, you have money and it's useless.

In addition to rice tickets, there are also egg tickets, meat tickets, milk tickets, oil tickets, cloth tickets, match tickets, sugar tickets, light bulb tickets, etc., almost all items in life are subject to special tickets.

And these tickets are not wanted, that is according to the number of heads in the household registration book is distributed, an adult's food stamps for a month is about forty catties, egg stamps are about three catties, meat stamps are two catties, milk stamps are one catty, cloth stamps are four meters a year, if you spend it in advance, it will be troublesome, you can only rely on the relationship to buy food stamps.

For example, the half-catty pastry that Liu Lang's father bought before cost one yuan and a catty of egg tickets at the same time, which is a lot of expenses.

Liu Lang knew very well that 1980 was the third year of the country's reform and opening up, and although some policies had been loosened and some market behaviors had been advocated, the changes in society had not yet been too conspicuous, and in particular, the planned economy had long been deeply rooted in the north, as the country was home to heavy industry, and even now that it was 10 years later, and even in the 21 st century, the stubborn disease of the planned economy was also affecting the three northern provinces and had become the root cause of the decline of the northeast.

The father now proposes to raise some chickens, although the mother is a little worried, but when she hears that it is for the growth of her son, she doesn't think much about it, after all, the newspapers are also promoting opening up and reforming, even if it is known that their family raises chickens again, they must not be criticized as much as before, and it is just a big deal not to raise them.

"Come east, I'm afraid two chickens are not enough!"

After the mother figured it out, she felt that Liu Lang's father only bought two chickens.

"Don't worry, I'll secretly go buy two more tomorrow, let's buy six chickens first, I'll make a chicken coop tomorrow and put it in the outhouse, no one will find out." ”

Liu Lang's father had a plan.

The next Sunday, he found an axe, a saw, and a planer, and spent half a day making a few chicken coops in the outhouse, and by the way he repaired the bicycle tires that were punctured by iron filings.

As a man, a husband and a father, if you don't know two "handicrafts" in this era, then the family will be ridiculed.

His parents were worried that their son would kill a few chickens, but what they saw was Liu Lang playing happily with them, and after a few days of work, several chicks saw Liu Lang and chirped around him, and Liu Lang also "learned" that his parents took some millet to feed them.

has a few chickens, which makes Liu Lang's life a little less dull and adds a bit of fun.

The students of this era are very happy, whether they are primary school students, junior high school students or high school students, a holiday is crazy to play, at the beginning of the summer vacation, Liu Lang's uncle got up in the morning to eat and then ran out of the house without a trace, appeared at Liu Lang's house on time at about 12 o'clock at noon, disappeared again after a mouthful of food, until the evening, it was dark before returning home, full of stinky sweat, especially the pair of stinky feet, as soon as he entered the house, it was stinky, and his grandparents didn't care about him.

My aunt is a high school student, as a literary girl, she won't run like an uncle in the summer vacation, she takes the poetry collection of the lonely city all day long to read and see, and sometimes brings a few "girlfriends" to the house to recite poetry aloud, Liu Lang listens to it really next door.

The second and third uncles are now working, from 8 to 5 in the morning every day, but I heard that they are only apprentices now, and their monthly salary is only a dozen yuan, although it is less, but they can also share some of it for the family.

Uncle Liu Lang's playmates include many people that Liu Lang knows, among which the old son of the Lao Lan family next door impressed him very much.

What is this person's surname, Liu Lang doesn't remember it in his previous life, these days he heard his uncle calling him "Lan Fool" is probably a nickname, he is about the same age as his uncle, he is shorter than his uncle, he looks quite obscene, and this person is very fierce, he began to "mix society" at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and he went to prison at the age of twenty-one or twelve, which can be regarded as the first generation of "underworld" in this era.

The reason why Liu Lang remembers this person, in addition to having an impression of this "Lan fool", is because he is very impressed by this old Lan family, this old Lan family only has two children, the eldest is a daughter, the eldest is this "Lan fool" The daughter is married, and her husband is a son-in-law who is upside down, short and stout, what is his name Liu Lang doesn't remember anymore, this man doesn't say a word all day long, and he doesn't say a word when he sees the neighbors, so he should be very dissatisfied with his identity as a son-in-law who is inverted.

There are only five people in this Lan family, don't look at the small population, but they quarrel every day, and the old couple shouts and screams, and the yelling is this son-in-law with a foreign surname, and the son-in-law is silent, let his father-in-law and mother-in-law and his wife's various "domestic violence", and those who don't know think he is a mute.

Liu Lang was deeply impressed by them, because more than ten years later, he heard a very unfortunate news, this silent son-in-law actually beat his wife to a serious injury, and then was stabbed in the heart by this "Lan fool" and lost his life, and the "Lan fool" also went to prison because of serious injuries, and a family was ruined.

However, at this time, this "underworld" does not have much violent tendency, and usually has a lot of fun with his uncle, even if he is called "Lan Fool" by others, he just smiles, but his parents look at other children with a little bad eyes, but in this compound, their family has the least number of people, especially Liu Lang's family, there are four buddies alone, all of them are young and middle-aged, no one dares to mess with such people, and even Liu Lang's uncle is usually followed by a few "little brothers", and he has faintly become the child king nearby.
