CHAPTER XXVI

"Foodie, throw the fish bones into the pit, so that people will not have any fish to eat in the future, I can warn you! Don't talk around, we can barely eat, if you recruit one more person, just give him your share, don't eat mine!" The little uncle patted his bulging belly, opened the door and walked out of the toilet with satisfaction, ready to continue to go back to the classroom and sleep on the desk.

"Grandma, I don't have enough to eat, I'm still calling people? I'm stupid! Ask your nephew, where did you get the fish and meat!" When Hu Dan heard that someone dared to grab meat from him, his eyes widened.

"Why don't you ask, why do you want to get it yourself?"

"I don't dare to ask, your old man doesn't chase me and beat me, and I don't have a place to get it, so I'm waiting for your nephew to send it, oops, time flies so slowly, I can't wait until tomorrow!"

Hong Tao didn't let Tiger Egg and Uncle wait for a long time, after 2 days, he fished a catfish from the moat, went home and made it, ate it himself, and then put the rest into a lunch box, and brought them to the school, still in the men's toilet to eliminate it as quickly as possible.

As for why he keeps running to the toilet to eat, Hong Tao can also understand that the school's corridor leads from one end to the other, spacious and unobstructed, and there is nowhere to hide. And people at this age have extremely sensitive noses, and the fish is originally fishy, so they don't hide in the toilet to eat, and it is estimated that soon the students and teachers on the whole floor will have to smell it. It's too easy to put up with the little smell in the toilet compared to eating meat.

From this day on, Hong Tao every 3 days or so, will push his grandmother's bamboo stroller to the moat to go around, and then use the stroller to bring back one or two fish, the specific number depends on the size of the fish to decide, roughly enough for himself and his uncle to eat, as for how much tiger eggs to eat, that is the uncle's problem, anyway, I can't miss it.

BJ soon entered the winter, Hong Tao slightly changed his rhythm of life, getting up early to exercise is always insisting, but no longer use cold water to shower, if you want to take a cold bath without winter and summer, you can't practice it in a year, which has to persist for several years to make the body adapt. After exercising, after going to his grandmother's house for breakfast, he will step on the radio gymnastics music played in the school loudspeaker, walk into the classroom of the third class of the first grade, sit in the last corner of the wall to listen to the class, it is still 2 classes, whether it is Chinese, mathematics or pictures, music, anyway, it is 2 classes, not waiting for a minute more, and then go to the teaching and research room on the second floor to read a book by himself, in fact, it is to read the newspaper.

After school at noon, go back to my grandmother's house for lunch, squint a little for a nap, and then push his car out, generally more than 2 o'clock can be the class teacher back to the court, after making fish sent to school, just in time for the second class. If you don't go fishing, the weather outside is not bad, he will go to Beixinqiao generation to go around, too far is not afraid to go, but can not go, even if he can't catch up with those police with a strong sense of responsibility, he can't afford to provoke the aunts of the Revolutionary Committee wearing red hoops on the street, from a certain point of view, these aunts are more difficult to deal with than the police.

If the weather is bad, he will look through those high numbers and analytic geometry in his father's study, although the things he learned in college have long been returned to the teacher, but while reading books, while reading the test papers of his father's students, he can still gradually remember some things, but he is very slow to learn. Hong Tao is not afraid of slowness, he is just less than 5 years old, even if he understands a question a day, he will have thousands of days until he graduates from high school, which is completely enough.

But self-study is self-study, Hong Tao didn't dare to leave any handwriting for his father to see, and the books and test papers he finished reading were put back as they were. I can deal with my father's inquiries about other questions, and once it comes to his profession, I can't escape my father's eyes 100%. If I let my father know that he can do math problems in his first year of college now, even if there is only one, it is estimated that my father's feeling is not a surprise, but a rise in blood pressure, and even insomnia, and it is estimated that his nerves will be confused.

In addition, Hong Tao also undertook an important task for his own family and his grandmother's family, which was to queue up to buy various necessities of life. Many things in this era have quotas, and even winter storage of Chinese cabbage cannot be bought openly, and there are several catties per person. And these things are not available every day, once the goods come, you have to queue up to buy, go late or you can't buy things, or you can only buy the rest of the others.

In a dual-income family like Hong Tao's family, the parents have to work 6 days a week, go out early and return late, they must have no time to buy, and the only day off, the men in the family have to go to cooperatives, coal yards, grain stores and other places to line up and buy all kinds of restricted shopping materials, while the women will pull out a large basin from under the bed, put all the clothes that the family has changed this week in, sit on a small bench, and start scrubbing with a washboard.

When the man bought the things back, the hostess was still washing the clothes with his head stuffy, and the man had to help his wife wash them together, seeing that the clothes in the big basin were about to be washed, and when he looked up at the sky, he was about to have dinner, and this rest day was more tiring than going to work.

The conditions like Hong Tao's house are not bad, at least their own home has their own water pipes and sewers, and they can wash as much as they want, and they can wash when they want. But most of the people live in the courtyard, and the whole yard shares a faucet, which is generally installed in the middle of the yard in a vacant place, with a cement pool and sewer below.

Whoever wants to wash clothes has to carry a large basin to the faucet to wash, and when it comes to rest days, the faucet is the busiest place, washing clothes, washing vegetables, and shabu-shabu have to line up, and everyone takes turns. I don't feel uncomfortable catching up with the summer, and the women of all families get together to wash and wash up, and they can chat about their parents while working, and by the way, they can pick up trouble, spread rumors or something, which is also a pleasure.

After the winter, it is not so happy, in Hong Tao's memory, the BJ winter of the 7o years is much colder than the BJ of the 21st century, there is not a day when the northwest wind does not blow, every three or five is a sandstorm, the wind is not only hard, but also strong, riding against the wind You not only can't pedal, your eyes can't open, and when you return home, your mouth is full of sand, grinding your teeth creaking. So when the female comrades went out, they would usually use a scarf to protect their heads against the sand, and the most popular color was red.

The sand can be resisted with a gauze towel, but the cold water and temperature cannot be resisted, and the water pipes in the yard were frozen with ice, and the old people with unfavorable legs and feet did not dare to go there in winter, and it became an ice rink for children, who rolled all over the ground, but had a lot of fun. The women who did the laundry were terrible, their hands were as cold as carrots, they were full of cracks, and there were no good skin care products to use, that is, to apply some clam oil.

Hong Tao's mother has a habit of cleanliness, although there is a separate faucet that can be used, and the laundry basin can also be washed in the house, but she washes a lot of things, not only the clothes that have been changed, but also the sheets and curtains have to be changed and washed every week, so the sin is not small, after all, the tap water is still cold. But Hong Tao can't help his mother in this regard, his little arms and legs can't rub the hard clothes, let alone move the big basin, and he doesn't have the money to buy a washing machine for his mother.

However, Hong Tao can reduce the amount of labor of his parents as much as possible, and do all the work he can do, washing clothes, buying coal, and buying Chinese cabbage for winter storage is definitely not possible, but to queue up to buy peanuts, melon seeds, mahjong, sesame oil, vegetable oil, good rice, rich and strong powder, meat, eggs and other things, Hong Tao can still be competent. In fact, if these things are brought up by Hong Tao normally, his parents will not let him go, on the one hand, they are afraid that he will lose money, tickets, books, etc., or break things, on the other hand, they are also afraid that he will be bullied, after all, everyone who goes to the queue has it, and adults will quarrel with each other because of a position or a thing, let alone a child.

Hong Tao didn't tell his parents clearly, he knew that the family's money, certificates, and tickets were all placed there, and there was a total of five drawers and five drawers in the house, and there were no locks, and the whole family was in the middle drawer.

Afraid of stealing? Impossible, at this time, every household is like this, that is, a padlock on the door, at most a lock on the drawer, not at all worried about someone slipping the door and picking the lock. It's not that there are no sliding doors to pick locks, but there are very few, very, very few.

Because the household registration system in this era is very strict, there are no normal procedures, outsiders can't live in BJ, you can still solve it by buying food, and you can use more national food stamps without BJ food stamps, but you can't solve it at all. Don't think about hotels, all hotels and restaurants are state-run, if you want to live in, you can get the household registration book first, and then get the letter of introduction. Then you can stay there and stay there, and you don't want to stay in the hotel.

I'm sorry, there's no place to rent, the people don't rent a house if they have it, the special period has just ended, this is also the tail of capitalism, who dares to press it? Even if you live in a relative's house, you can't get past the neighbor's pass, as long as there is a living person in the yard, the aunts of the Revolutionary Committee will know in 1o minutes, and then they will come to the house to ask, who are you? What is the relationship with this family? Why are you here to BJ? How many days are you going to stay? And you know your daily activity time well, in the yard, The eyes of those housewives in the alley are bright! More effective and efficient than any spy organization!
