"It's ...... Money? ”

It was the first time everyone had seen the dollar.

Although they don't recognize the text on it, the style and number are very similar to money.

"That's right, it's money!"

Ma Hongwei said: "This is the currency of the United States - the dollar, you just need to know that this money is equivalent to 12 pieces of unity." ”

(Great unity, is the name of the 10 yuan bill in the past, the maximum face value in the past was 10 yuan, until 87 years when the fourth set of currencies was issued, the maximum face value of which was 100 yuan.) ）

"Brother, where did you get the money from this rice country?"

"Yes, brother, you shouldn't be going to be an enemy for foreigners, right?"

After seeing these dollars, the younger siblings couldn't help but be surprised.

They have been playing the game of catching enemies since they were children, so the first thing they thought of was that Ma Hongwei was an enemy.

"What kind of enemy, what do you think every day!"

Ma Hongwei rolled his eyes and said: "Even if you want to be an enemy, if you don't give 500,000 Meizi, who will?" ”

"500,000 more?"

Ma Weiguo pursed his lips and said, "If someone really wants to have 500,000, then they won't give it to you!" ”

Obviously, in his eyes, his eldest brother is not worth the half million.

Wang Qiuhua continued to ask: "I said, boss, where did you get this money?" ”

"Of course it's given by foreigners."

Ma Weiguo said to the crowd: "Today I was going to go to the Temple of Heaven Park to relax, but I met a few foreigners, and they insisted that I introduce them to the Temple of Heaven Park, so I took them around, and they gave me these dollars when I was done. ”

"I took them around and gave you $40?"

"Could it be that this foreigner is really rich all of them?"

"Did they ask you any questions? You didn't say what you shouldn't have said, did you? ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Among them, Ma Weiguo and the three are mainly shocked by the generosity of foreigners, and in the past two years, from foreign films and television, they have seen the prosperity and development of foreign countries, as well as the poverty and backwardness of China.

It is these film and television programs that have produced a large number of people who worship foreigners in the decades since.

These people want to leave their homeland and go to the United States, which is known as the "beacon of human civilization".

Unlike young people's thoughts, Wang Qiuhua was a little worried about whether Ma Hongwei would leak anything.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say, besides, I'm not worth buying as a cook."

Ma Hongwei comforted: "Now that we have reformed and opened up, millions of foreigners come to play every year, and the south is also preparing to set up four special economic zones, and we want to cooperate with foreigners to build factories and companies, the situation is not the same as in the past." ”

Although in the early 80s, he still caught the enemy very strictly, but as a reborn, he couldn't look down on those petty profits.

Besides, he is a hotel cook, and he is not a confidential department, so people will not spend money to buy people like him.

Hearing Ma Hongwei's explanation, Wang Qiuhua suddenly felt relieved.

She said to everyone, "Okay, let's eat quickly, if you don't eat again, it will be cold." ”

Ma Hongwei put away the dollars, picked up a bowl and filled a bowl of porridge for himself, and then ate it with pickles and wowotou.

I haven't eaten Wowotou for many years, and at this moment Ma Hongwei feels that this kind of food has a unique flavor.

Of course, this is also why he is tired of eating rice and noodles in later generations.

His younger brothers and sisters, when they eat the nest, they are all frowning.

The difference between eating every day and eating occasionally is not a star and a half.

In the past, people ate, there were no conditions, and there was no way, and if you didn't eat, there was no way to survive.

Later people eat, that is to remember the past, or to taste fresh, and then there is to pay attention to health, what to eat more coarse grains and less fine grains.

Moreover, in the past, the nest head that people ate was pure cornmeal, and the poorer ones would be sandwiched with bran, which was really difficult to swallow.

But in later generations, it was made of chestnut noodles, with the same name, but the things and tastes were completely different.

"It looks like we need to get some meat to nourish my younger siblings."

Ma Hongwei thought secretly in his heart.

After dinner, the family began to paste cardboard boxes on the table again.

Seeing that the fourth and fifth brothers are not very old, but they are very skilled in pasting paper boxes, Ma Hongwei couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

When other children were so young, they were playing everywhere, but their younger siblings needed to work hard for life.

"I was such a bastard before!"

Ma Hongwei scolded secretly, and then said: "Now that I'm back, you don't need to paste the cardboard box." ”

"Hey, it's a point to earn a point, and it's idle anyway!"

Wang Qiuhua said with a smile.

"Mom said that only when there is more paste in the carton can I eat meat, and I can eat fine grains, but I haven't eaten it before, it must be too little paste, and I must have more paste."

The fifth sister looked at Ma Hongwei innocently and invited: "Big brother, you can also paste the paper box together!" ”

Apparently, she thinks that she didn't eat meat and fine grains because she didn't work hard enough to paste the cardboard box.

"No, I'm going to bed early, and I'm going to work tomorrow."

Ma Hongwei held back his tears and ran directly to the hut next door.

In the past, their family of six was crammed into one house, but later after the earthquake of 76, a small house was built outside, which can be regarded as two rooms.

Originally, the small house was used for Ma Hongwei's marriage, but later Ma Hongwei became a son-in-law, and the third Ma Weiguo and the fourth Ma Weijun moved in.

Today, Ma Hongwei is back, and the old four horse guards naturally have to go back to the big house to sleep.

Lying on the bed, looking at the small room, Ma Hongwei sighed lightly, and said in his heart: "Go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow to dispose of those dollars, and then exchange some money and food stamps and meat stamps, I can't let my younger brothers and sisters suffer anymore."

In addition, you have to hurry up to make more money, and then build two sets of buildings for your family, which is not comfortable to live in in this large courtyard. ”

Now that the second child is married, and he has a total of five people, according to the situation at that time, living in two rooms is actually not very crowded.

You must know that in the early days of reform and opening up, China's per capita living area was only 3.6 square meters.

Their two houses are more than 30 square meters, and the per capita area is twice that of others.

Many people in the capital, it is really a family of more than a dozen people crammed into one or two rooms.

But Ma Hongwei is a person who has experienced the afterlife.

In later generations, the city people were all a couple or a person with a bedroom, plus a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and so on.

Even like some groups, there are hundreds or thousands of houses at home, and they can't live in them.

Ma Hongwei didn't ask for that, he thought it would be good for one person to have a room.

And the reason why Ma Hongwei wants to build a building instead of a courtyard house is because the building is more comfortable to live in.

The courtyard house has not undergone modern renovation and is not suitable for residents at all.

At that time, if you wanted to renovate a courtyard house, the money required was not a small amount, and it was far less convenient and cost-effective than a building.

As for hoarding courtyards, he can have them, but he doesn't plan to hoard ordinary small courtyards either.

Like a set of courtyard houses in the capital is worth hundreds of millions and billions, people are not the kind of small courtyard houses, at least they are also large mansions with three entrances and four entrances, covering an area of hundreds or thousands of square meters.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they became a large courtyard, or a place that became a state unit, and it was not easy to buy them.

Not to mention anything else, just like the big compound they live in now, that is, a three-entry quadrangle, in which dozens of families live and hundreds of people!

If you want to buy this courtyard house, you must first solve the housing problem of these people.

At that time, the pilot had just begun, and it was not fully opened, so naturally it was impossible to use the means of forced demolition in later generations to drive people out.

So for the time being, Ma Hongwei doesn't plan to build a courtyard house, and it will take a few more years, or more than ten years.
