After getting up the next day, Yang Jun dragged his tired body to the restaurant.

I saw Ma Xiangxiu coming back from outside with a sad face, still carrying an empty noodle bag in her hand.

"Auntie, the price of food has risen again."

Ma Xiangxiu held the noodle bag in her hand and complained to Wang Yuying with a bitter face.

"The price has gone up again?"

Wang Yuying sighed when she heard this.

"You have to buy it when the price rises, dozens of people in a family are waiting for the rice to be put in the pot, how can you do it if you don't buy it."

"But the price has risen outrageously, flour and rice have risen by five points, corn flour has risen by three points, and the price of other grains has also increased."

Ma Xiangxiu held a wad of money and food stamps in her hand, and counted the price of grain in her mouth.

"Hey, since the ration was lowered, the price of this grain has been the same every day."

The family was eating, and when they heard the words, they didn't react.

After all, the Yang family is not bad for money, they have always been pampered, and if they lack anyone's mouth, they will not lack a bite to eat, and they will not realize the preciousness of food at all.

Since the state issued a policy, it has vigorously supported the construction of the second line, called on the people of the whole country to cut back on food and clothing, and raised materials to support the construction of the northwest.

Since 1954, the "voucher" grain supply for residents has been changed to "voucher" supply, and each person who has an official household registration in Beijing will be issued with food stamps on a monthly basis.

The ration of grain varies from person to person according to age, from three catties born of white fungus, six catties for children, and eight catties for children...... to 21 pounds for adults.

In addition, according to different identities, the indicators are different, such as college students, government cadres, and special types of work...... There is a slight increase.

Among them, the supply of flour should account for 20% of the total ration, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest is supplied with coarse grains, stick noodles, dried sweet potatoes, sorghum noodles and other miscellaneous grains.

People like the Yang family are basically light manual laborers, and each person has 38 catties of grain per month, including 12.5 catties of fine grains and 25.5 catties of coarse grains.

As for Yang Jun, in addition to a higher salary, the rations are also 200 catties, which is also the first class in the entire Sijiu City.

In fact, according to the treatment of Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui, it is no problem to feed the family, but he can't patronize his own house, and he has to take care of other people who eat with their family.

For example, bitter lotus mother and daughter, Sun Zhaocai and his wife, Zhao Juhua and so on.

Yang Anguo and Yang Anguo don't worry, they are cadres, they have a lot of wages and rations, and it is not a problem to feed a family, as for the others, although they all have formal jobs, their wages are low, and their rations have dropped so much, and they have a harder life.

As far as Sun Zhaocai is concerned, if Yang Jun hadn't helped him every month, his salary would not be enough to plug his teeth.

"Xiangxiu, don't buy it for the time being, I'll just let the stone send some over when I go back." Yang Jundao.

"Brother, I'm sorry, you're so busy, and you have to worry about family affairs, I'm ...... What a dereliction of duty. ”

Ma Xiangxiu's eyes were red, and she looked like she had done something wrong.

Yang Jun sighed: "I don't blame you, if you want to blame, you can only blame the lack of a woman in the family who can do things." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Yi Qiushui.

Yi Qiushui rolled his eyelids, pretending not to hear and continuing to coax the child in his arms.

"Who are you here to confine to?"

It was Wang Yuying who spoke.

I saw her kicking Yang Jun with an unhappy face, and her expression was like eating someone.

"Mom, you...... What are you talking about? ”

Yang Jun has a black line.

It's not that you can't hear Yi Qiushui, don't you usually blame her for not caring about family affairs, why did you jump out as soon as I taught her a lesson?

"Don't say those cool words, I'm the one in charge now, not your daughter-in-law, what's not happy, go back to your yard and say it."

Wang Yuying still gave Yi Qiushui, the daughter-in-law, face, and did not count her down in front of so many people, but made Yi Qiushui feel grateful.

"Humph!"

Yi Qiushui made a funny expression at Yang Jun dissatisfied.

"Alright, alright, you can get used to her."

Yang Jun reluctantly said that he surrendered, he was afraid that if he continued to talk, the two of them would unite to scare him.

"I'm willing to get used to it, can you handle it?" Wang Yuying said.

"Yes, you just get used to it, in the future, when you are old, you can't take care of it, see what she does."

"Then leave it to your daughter-in-law, how big do you think?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he waved his hand and stopped talking.

He said that he was completely defeated by Wang Yuying.

He was a little envious of Yi Qiushui, this girl had never been wronged since she was a child.

Before getting married, I was pampered by my parents at home, after I got married, I was spoiled by my husband, and when I got old, I was pampered by my son, and I lived a life of young grandmother.

Hey, that's infuriating.

"Thank you, Mom."

Yi Qiushui thanked him, and then grimaced at Yang Jun again.

Wang Yuying sighed slightly.

Although he didn't say it, he still had a lot of words in his heart.

……

It's another busy day.

In the evening, when I came home from work, I found that my house was full of people.

"Godfather."

Stone walked towards him with his daughter-in-law, Cai Xiaowan.

After a few years of experience, the stone gradually matured, and the whole person looked very calm, his daughter-in-law Cai Xiaowan followed behind him, looking at her slightly fat figure, it seemed that she was pregnant.

"Godfather." Cai Xiaowan blushed and shouted.

Although they are father and son in name, they don't usually live together, they don't know each other very well, and Yang Jun is so young, it's awkward to call him godfather.

"Coming, how are you doing?" Yang Jundao.

"Okay, godfather." Stone laughed.

Since this guy married his daughter-in-law, the state of the whole person has not changed, and he has begun to become desireless.

However, it is no wonder that he is rotten, guarding the space system of the bombing sky, eating and drinking without worry, and Yang Jun protecting him, he has nothing to worry about.

In the courtyard, there was a horse-drawn carriage, which was full of grain, various fruits and vegetables, and gifts, and Wang Yuying was directing people to move down.

"Mom, just move enough food for our family, and divide the rest." Yang Jundao.

When Wang Yuying heard this, she didn't speak, obviously a little reluctant.

Don't look at her so rich, but the thrifty habits she has cultivated over the years have been deeply rooted in her bones.

However, although he was unwilling, he still did what Yang Jun said.

She still has to listen to her son's words, she can't let her son lose face in front of everyone, she also knows that Yang Jun is not short of these things, but she is reluctant in her heart.

Even if she becomes the richest man in the world in the future, her habit will not change.

"Anguo, you will preside over it and divide these grains, fruits and vegetables among each household."

Wang Yuying called Yang Anguo and asked him to divide all the food in the car.

"Okay, Auntie."

Yang Anguo immediately jumped into the car to count the ingredients, and then counted how many families there were, and then distributed the food to them equally.

The people outside were distributing food, but Yang Jun invited the stone into the living room.

Among all the sons and daughters, there is still a bit of an adult in stone, and Yang Jun doesn't treat him as a child, every time he comes to the house, Yang Jun will treat him as a guest.

"Stone, have you been studying lately?" Yang Jun asked as he sat on the main seat.

Seeing Yang Jun's question, the stone leaned forward and replied with a respectful look.

"Learned, I never stopped learning, in fact, there is nothing to learn, I will ...... those"

The stone was stunned for a moment, and then corrected: "The main thing is that it is too simple, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it." ”

When Yang Jun heard this, he secretly laughed.

He knew that the stone was lying, but he didn't expose it.

Let's ask, which of the traversers in the future generations is not highly educated, and the most recent is a high school graduate.

People with a secondary school degree can be used as college students in this era, and the reason why the stone has not been promoted is not because of a lack of knowledge, but because of insufficient academic qualifications.

In this era, he is only a person who has been in elementary school for three years, and his academic qualifications are a hard flaw, and it is precisely for this reason that Yang Jun has not promoted him.

"It's good to learn, I will ask your unit to recommend you to study in college for a period of time, and after graduation, my godfather will put some burden on your shoulders." Yang Jundao.

"Thank you, godfather."

In fact, stones are not rare at all.

Generally, the people who have passed through the later generations have a bad mentality, they have money and a house, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and it doesn't matter to them whether they are promoted or not, at the same time, they live in this era, and they also have an attitude of coping and getting by, as long as they don't face difficulties and don't force them into a corner, they will not change.

Yang Jun is also a traverser, so he naturally understands the current mentality of the stone.

However, the road is chosen by oneself, everyone has their own way of life, some people like to strive for the top, and some people choose to be rotten, which is a kind of normality in life.

Yang Jun didn't necessarily have to change the habits of others, so he could only let it go.

"Well, your kid is doing well now, and he has a bright future in the future, if he encounters difficulties in the future, just tell his godfather."

"Thank you godfather for taking care of you." Stone laughed.

Yang Jun saw that he was almost finished, and took out a wad of money from his pocket in a timely manner.

It's about a thousand dollars.

"Godfather, didn't you slap me in the face, my son is filial to Lao Tzu, and it is natural and righteous ......"

Seeing this, the stone hurriedly excused himself.

"Alright."

Yang Jun lowered his face and said: "Godfather knows that you are not bad for money, but I can't take your things for nothing, and I can't let people point at my backbone and scold me, scolding me Yang Jun admits that his godson is specially taking advantage." ”

Stone: "Who dare me?" ”

"It's our own business, see who dares to chew the root of the tongue."

"Okay, okay, you know your godfather, if you don't accept this money, your godfather will never let you send food in the future."

"Godfather......

Shi wanted to say more, but Yang Jun directly stuffed the money into his pocket.

"Okay, more or less, there's no need to make up for it, so be it."

A thousand yuan can buy that cart of supplies, but the account is not so calculated, the money is enough, but having money does not mean that you can buy those rare things, especially those fruits and vegetables, even if you have more money, you can't buy them.

"Godfather, then I'll take it."

Yang Jun waved his hand.

That night, the stone was left to eat.

I didn't go back until the willow tops of the moon.

……

That same evening.

Yang Jun was hiding in the study, and when he was worried about how to give food to Yi Qiushui, there was a quick knock on the door.

opened the door of the study and found that it was Sun Zhaodi.

"What's wrong, Zhao Di, is your brother not sleeping honestly again?"

Yang Chengdao now sleeps with Sun Zhaodi, and he will never sleep before twelve o'clock every night, making Sun Zhaodi confused during the day.

"No, godfather, it's the two uncles An Guo and An Bang who are looking for you."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I see, you go back to sleep first, I'll go to the front yard and have a look."

Although An Guo and An Bang are his own family, they are very well-behaved, and he will not step into the backyard even if it is a big thing.

Yang Jun walked towards the front yard and muttered in his heart: "It's so late, nothing will happen, right?" ”

Front yard living room.

The inside was brightly lit, and under the scorching light, two anxious figures walked up and down the living room.

"What can't we wait until tomorrow to get me out of bed?"

As soon as Yang Jun entered the living room, he sat on a chair and looked at the topic with a resentful look.

"Brother, please, save my mother."

The two brothers knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Jun without saying a word.

Yang Jun chuckled in his heart, and knew that something was wrong.

However, when he heard that his second mother Qin Xiuzhi had an accident, he suddenly became less worried.

He had known that the femme fatale was going to have an accident sooner or later, and now it was so.

That kind of woman is not the master of Ansheng, and sooner or later she will stab Lou Zi.

Yang Jun glanced at the two brothers and found that except for Yang Anbang, Yang Anbang was not so anxious.

Seeing Yang Anbang kneeling on the ground, he hesitated for a moment before kneeling.

It can be seen that Yang Anguo still hates his mother and hates her for drugging her daughter-in-law.

Even if something happened to his mother, he looked like he was fine.

"Get up and talk, it's all your own brothers, do you need this?"

Yang Jun brought Yang Anbang from the ground, and then before he could help Yang Anguo, the guy got up by himself.

"Brother, my mother...... Something went wrong. ”

Yang Anbang couldn't control his emotions, and the seven-foot man cried and cried.

"Say, what's the matter?"

Yang Jun looked impatient.

It's been out for so many years, and it's still so unstable.

Yang Anbang glanced back at Yang Anguo.

"Second brother, let's talk about it."

Who knows, Yang Anguo turned his head.

"If you want to say it, I can't afford to lose that person."

"Our brother is not an outsider......"

"Then why didn't you say it yourself?"

Yang Anbang was speechless.

"Brother, mom because ...... He was arrested for embezzlement. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to the side with a faceless look.

When Yang Jun heard this, he suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

Embezzlement of public funds is the most despised crime, and he didn't expect his second mother to make such a low-level mistake for the sake of greed.

No matter how poor he Yang Jun is, he will not touch a penny of the public, because it is the hard-earned money of the common people, and if he is tempted, he will always have the feeling of being a thief.

"How much?"

Yang Jun suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"It's been three days."

"I ask you how much you are greedy?"

Yang Jun finally couldn't suppress the fire and broke out.

It's been three days, and now I just want to look for him, why did I go earlier?

"Ah, eighty."

"How much?"

"Eighty."

"Bang!"

Yang Jun slammed the table, and the teacups on the table jumped wildly.

"Well deserved."

Yang Jun roared: "You really deserve it." ”

Sure enough, she is a woman who loves to take advantage of small advantages, if she is greedy for a thousand children and eight hundred, he can afford her and give her a thumbs up, because eighty yuan is in, which is too embarrassing.

"I can't afford to lose this person, so let's go."

Yang Jun's chest was bulging with anger, and he waved his hand weakly.

"Brother, this is what you say, you just have to speak......"

"Shut up!"

Yang Jun kicked Yang Anbang to the ground.

"I said, I can't afford to lose this person, she has done such a thing, how can she still have the face to beg for someone."

"If Grandpa was still here, such a woman would have been kicked out of the house a long time ago."

Yang Jun no longer gave Yang Anbang face, and began to count their mother in front of them.

"I'll just say it, don't look for my brother about this, you don't listen, you see what your brother has become."

Yang Anguo said with red eyes.

The reason why it took three days to come to Yang Jun is probably the reason why Yang Anguo is unwilling.

On the one hand, this guy was out of hatred for Qin Xiuzhi, and on the other hand, he felt that Yang Jun would not agree to help if such a shameful thing happened.

"Anguo, shut up, I don't allow you to say that about her, that's our mother, she has worked hard to raise you for so many years, you can't ignore it."

"I think it's you who shut up, if she really loves my son, she won't drug Xiangxiu."

"That'...... It's all about the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, what are you doing with it? ”

"Phew, if you do it, you will do it, and you will never forget it."

Two lines of tears were left on Yang Anguo's painful face.

His heart is conflicted, with both hatred for his mother and love for her.

Although he still hated Qin Xiuzhi in his heart, he didn't want anything to happen to him, he wanted the woman to be punished, but he didn't want her to suffer.

Yang Anguo wiped the tears on his face, waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this matter, whoever cares about it will take care of it." ”

After speaking, he walked out dejectedly.

"Dick."

Yang Anbang shouted hoarsely, and Yang Anguo left without looking back.

"Brother......

Yang Anbang turned back to Yang Jundao.

Yang Jun raised his hand and interrupted: "I can't control this matter, you can go back." ”

"Brother......

Yang Anbang burst into tears.

Seeing that Yang Jun was unmoved, he had to leave in a huff.

After he left, Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

I lit a cigarette and smoked it desperately.

At this time, the figure in the living room flashed, and Wang Yuying walked in with her clothes on.

She lived in the middle courtyard, very close, and she must have heard such a loud voice just now.

Yang Jun glanced at her, then continued to lower his head and smoke.

Wang Yuying silently walked to the seat next to him and sat down.

Neither of them spoke, just sat like that.

"Mom, go back and rest, we can't take care of this matter, and we can't take care of it."

Yang Jun pinched off his cigarette butt, turned around and walked out.

"Military ......"

Yang Jun stopped, and didn't look back,

"Mom, if you want to intercede, you can do it, this woman's business can't be touched, even if she is fished out this time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not go in next time, let's just live our own lives, and take care of other people's affairs."

"Your second mother, she didn't do this before." Wang Yuying muttered to herself.

Wang Yuying still thinks about the love between the concubines in her heart, no matter what, this is also a love affair that has been in place for decades, don't look down on her usually, but once it comes to the critical moment, she still has her in her heart.

"Mom, you don't care about this matter, I won't care about it, and you don't want your son to be implicated, right?"

Yang Jun turned around and helped her up.

"I'll send you back to rest, get some sleep, and forget about it."

"She wasn't like this before, she wasn't like this before."

Wang Yuying was a little stunned, and muttered over and over again.

Not to mention that Wang Yuying didn't expect it to be like this, even her husband and son would not have thought that Qin Xiuzhi was such a person, as far as Yang Anguo is concerned, who would have thought that the person who raised himself from childhood would personally drug his daughter-in-law and take the lives of his two children?

The world is impermanent.

Nothing is set in stone, let alone people.

Every thing is evolving, and no one knows whether it will get better or worse in the next second.

After sending Wang Yuying back to the middle courtyard, Yang Jun went back to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the house, seeing Yang Jun's calm face, Yi Qiushui looked at him nervously.

"Husband, did you quarrel with your mother?"

Yi Qiushui thought that Yang Jun and Wang Yuying were unhappy because they quarreled.

"No, it's because of something else."

Subsequently, Yang Jun told him about his second mother Qin Xiuzhi, and told him about Yang Anbang's request for help.

"Husband, what do you think about the second mother, eighty yuan is ......"

Yang Jun glared at her.

"You don't know how expensive oil and salt are expensive, eighty yuan is a lot, although it is less than a month's salary, but in the countryside, they have earned a few years, do you know how many catties you can buy just by buying grain?"

To be honest, Yi Qiushui really didn't know.

According to the words of one dime and two catties of wheat, eighty yuan can buy more than seven hundred catties of grain, which is enough for an adult and a family of four to have two years of rations.

Yi Qiushui has never suffered since he was a child, and you let a person who does not touch the spring water know that it is impossible to know the hardships, let alone eighty yuan, even eight yuan, there are people who are willing to exchange their lives.

"Husband, I don't know what the concept of this eighty yuan is, but this matter is ...... Do you want to take care of it? Yi Qiushui's eyes were wide open, and he kept looking at him all the time.

"Do you want me to meddle in this?" Yang Jun asked rhetorically.

Yi Qiushui hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't want to."

"I just hope that we can live our own lives, I don't want you to have anything, I can't live without you with the baby and everyone in this family."

Yi Qiushui leaned on Yang Jun's body, and hugged Yang Jun's arm tightly with both arms.

"Don't worry, I won't be nosy, I don't want to care about this kind of bullshit, the face of the old Yang family has been lost by her, I can't hide yet, how can I care about her business."

Yang Jun took her in his arms and continued: "I won't interfere in this matter, I hope you don't interfere either, if An Bang or An Guo asks for you, I hope you don't agree." ”

"Husband, don't worry, don't you understand your wife, I won't be nosy if the oil bottle is poured, and I won't be nosy."

When Yang Jun heard this, he sneered and laughed.

"You still know how lazy you are, tell me how beautiful you are, why are you so lazy?"

Yi Qiushui snorted.

"I admit I'm lazy, but I'm not lazy in some ways."

"For example?" Yang Jun asked.

"For example, whenever the time comes, I never forget to collect public food." Yi Qiushui pursed his lips and smiled.

"Well, when I didn't ask."

"No, you've asked everything, don't ......"

……
