Chapter 52: Clues
When he waited outside the delivery room again, Feng Jinfei was no longer as restless as he was at the beginning. As long as you experience this kind of thing as having a child, the rest is easy to say, don't care if you are a father or a mother, that's it.
A woman gives birth to half a life, and this is useful for first-time fathers. It's not that men don't care about women's lives, but experience will give people experience, and things that were originally unwritten seem to be confident.
This time, there were not a few lonely people outside the delivery room, and all the off-duty cotton mill workers stood in the corridor chirping. Especially Pei Qing, who has a good stomach and is still chattering.
Feng Jinfei was a little strange, how could a person with Miao Suxin's personality be in harmony with Pei Qing?
The cultural class of female workers in the cotton mill was prepared very quickly, not only Xiao Chenghan urged it, but it seemed that a pair of little wooden people made Pei Qing especially want to meet Miao Suxin as soon as possible. Only half a month after Zhao Jincheng's wedding, the cultural class for female workers in the cotton spinning factory started.
But Pei Qing and Miao Suxin became good friends. Feng Jinfei thought that it might be Miao Suxin's intention, but found that Pei Qing's enthusiasm was even greater than Miao Suxin's.
Zhao Jincheng himself said that Pei Qing absolutely did not know their relationship. Maybe they both yearn for themselves to be each other's personalities. It's okay like this, the two families that don't leave a trace move around again, and even Old Man Miao is happy.
"Comrade Feng, it's a boy!" the nurse no longer called Mr. or Miss Gongzi.
Feng Jinfei couldn't stand it at all, and he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his own woman if he wanted to go over and say goodbye to his own woman. Miao Suxin was lying on the cart and was already surrounded by a group of women to bless her.
"The boatload of rice that just came from Hankou Wharf was collected by Fuyuan Grain Store again, and the price of rice is seven cents more expensive!" Pei Qing muttered to her father at home.
"You can't eat it! The daughter-in-law has two hundred and eighty pounds per month, and the son-in-law has two hundred and forty pounds per month. Why isn't it enough for you to eat?" Pei Mu felt that this day was very good, and in a few months Pei Qingsheng would be born, and there was a little doll teasing and what was not satisfied.
The government has not made any policy changes to the original merchants, and in order to avoid causing a depression in the market, it has almost allowed the merchants to do so. Moreover, many of the original national government tax increases were abolished.
All the government has done is to change the salaries of the new government staff, school teachers, and factory workers to rice to ensure people's basic living needs.
In fact, it is not just rice, but it is unified according to the standard of rice, and the salary is the rice ticket. Daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt can be replaced with rice tickets. All tickets can also be exchanged for renminbi, as long as they are in government-run stores, and the prices of all items have remained at the average price of the three months before the liberation of Wuhan.
It seems that the price of all goods in the market is rising, and merchants are hoarding various substances in different ways.
The hard labor at the docks is all over today. Pei Qing's father kept chattering at home, feeling that she shouldn't stop working, and she would earn a day's money when she worked one day. There are some earnings, but there is no day off.
Pei Qing knew what was going on, it was organized by the trade union. She didn't dare to say it, for fear that there would be too many people like her father and a bad impression of the new government.
Daddy Pei muttered, but he still didn't dare to go to the dock to work by himself. dragged the old woman to have to go and see. His daughter and son-in-law are all working, and he is bold.
There was no one on the wharf, and the grain station that bought the grain scolded without scruples. The owner was talking to him about the price of an extra day's stop.
The grain store went to the Cao Gang, but the uncle didn't dare to agree. Last year, the new government demanded the dissolution of the Cao Gang, and all the things in the gang went underground. But this time, he has already received the news that if he dares to disobey the government, there will be only one result: ban! He is not stupid, but he knows that the people in the grain store are stupid!
It's not just the grain bank that does this, many of the businesses are connected. Originally, there was no shortage of materials, and the price was stable. But the businessmen just feel that life is too comfortable, and they think of a way to find death. You can look for death, don't pull the children and grandchildren of the Cao Gang!
During this time, Feng Jinfei was at home in addition to the cultural relics, and the cultural relics were at home, and the family looked at his son. I really started to be a small clerk, and I was happy. Every month, he will receive different tickets according to his daily needs, and then come back to his father-in-law, and also bring back Miao Suxin's on his behalf.
Miao Suxin is also a staff member of the Ministry of Culture and Education, but she works in a cotton mill. Xiao Chenghan said that female workers have maternity leave for childbirth. Feng Jinfei also looked at the new regulations of the people's government, and there is indeed maternity leave. Full pay during maternity leave.
Miao Suxin has never been short of money since she was a child, but she is particularly concerned about the money she earns back. Before the end of the month, when the salary was paid, she had to ask Feng Jinfei if she had received it on her behalf. In fact, she wanted to know if the Ministry of Culture and Education still had her name and whether she would be removed.
"Jinfei, don't look at the doll yet. In the past few days, they have asked me to borrow money, and the interest is very good. It's all comparable to the money of Yinzi!Tell me what to do!" Old man Miao saw that Feng Jinfei had just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly called out to him.
"Hmm, what's wrong? What's new? Is there a price increase in the market or is the renminbi depreciating?" Feng Jinfei was a little strange. Supposedly, if salaries don't change, prices shouldn't rise. It is impossible for the government to ignore the life and death of its employees, and not to raise salaries when prices rise.
"No, how can I say it! Take the ticket you issued and buy it in the government shop, and the price of everything has not changed. However, if you buy it in renminbi at a merchant's shop, the price will increase! If you buy it in renminbi at the government's shop, the price will not increase, but the government's shop will first guarantee the person who receives the ticket, and then sell it out. Old man Miao didn't know if Feng Jinfei could understand, he was tongue-twisting!
Feng Jinfei understood, and his first reaction was: Who is looking for death again! Is it really the new government that is vegetarian?
"Dad, no one will borrow money! It turns out that the grain we hoarded is not used up, and it is directly given to the government's shop, and it is given at a low price! We can't earn this money!" Feng Jinfei remembered that he once asked his father-in-law to hoard grain, and he was worried that the old man would not be able to stand the temptation and take advantage of this price increase to make money.
"Give it all at a low price?" Old man Miao is really reluctant! He supports a large family. If you can save this family business, you can only rely on the antique shop, and you can do what you want. I knew that if I didn't tell my son-in-law, I wouldn't be able to do this deal, and I would have to lose a fortune.
"Dad, don't forget the group of people who just died! Maybe this time will be more serious than that one!" It's okay to take advantage of some loopholes, but this is purely to pounce on and seek death.
"Master, my uncle may be right! The wharf has been closed for three days! The owner of Fuyuan has put all the money into the boat in the past two days. I heard that he also asked for the Cao Gang. People didn't answer!" "The housekeeper has been really convinced when he looks at this uncle in recent years. With such a master, you can have a good old age, but don't let the master's confusion ruin a big family.
"The wharves are all closed?" Feng Jinfei knew that things had come to this point!
"Hello Director Xiao, I'll talk about how I can find you in a while! Feng Jinfei went to the cultural relics office the next day, but he still couldn't rest assured that the grain he had hoarded at home. It's not that I didn't convince the old father-in-law, but I knew that it had been two years, and there were still dozens of tons. If there is no reason for this to really make a move, I am afraid that it will be treated with the businessmen!
"Tell me, what did our little Comrade Feng ask me to help me with!" Xiao Chenghan is actually about the same as Feng Jinfei, and he may be a few years younger. He really doesn't know what to call Feng Jinfei, Mr. is inappropriate, and the eldest brother is even more not, so that others seem alienated. So it's just called Xiao Feng.
"Before the liberation, because the Kuomintang government forced the exchange of gold yuan coupons, the family bought all the gold yuan coupons exchanged. It's been two years, and there are still dozens of tons. When I went back yesterday, I heard my father-in-law talk about the food in the past few days. I want to ......"
"Comrade Feng Jinfei! It doesn't matter whether your family is hoarding food or not, but if you ask me to close my eyes, I won't see your family speculating, or let me help you clear up the relationship, it will be impossible! This kind of realization will not work! I will disappoint you so much!" Before Feng Jinfei could finish speaking, Xiao Chenghan interrupted angrily. Looking at Xiao Chenghan's attitude, Feng Jinfei affirmed his judgment.
"No, Director. You are mistaken. I want to trouble you to contact the Ministry of Materials, and my family's grain is paid to the Ministry of Materials. It's the old grain of the year before last, I don't know if the material department wants it?"
"Are you sure it's all old grain?" Xiao Chenghan also felt that he had misunderstood Feng Jinfei. He wasn't supposed to be that.
"Well, it's all old grain. ”
"Okay, okay, okay! I've helped with this!" Xiao Chenghan patted Feng Jinfei on the shoulder before going out.
