In the 1960s and 1970s, the state implemented a fixed supply system for residents, and the standards were differentiated according to different types of work.
Among them, the soldiers had the highest amount of rations. Their monthly rations could reach about 45 catties. Among the factory workers, those who had strong physical strength and were in high-risk jobs only had a monthly ration of about 42 catties. Those under the age of 16 only had a monthly ration of about 16 catties.
Of course, different places and different factories would have different quantities.
However, no matter how much he counted, Li Anran was only one person!
Even if the people of this era were short of food, from adults to children, everyone was a big eater. However, these 500 catties of national food stamps were enough for Li Anran to eat for a year and even have extra income!
After all, this kind of food ticket could buy fine grain. If he exchanged fine grain for coarse grain, he could exchange it for a lot more!
In addition to the 500 yuan in Li Anran's hands, it was a huge sum of money in front of him. That was why He Yuzhu had such a big reaction.
"Right, Junior Brother, how much money and food stamps do you think I should give you every month?”Li Anran suddenly remembered something.
Since he had sought refuge with the other party, he could not let the other party raise him. That would be embarrassing.
In any case, he still had a lot of money and food stamps on hand. It was normal for Li Anran to pay for his living expenses.
However, the problem was that He Yuzhu did not think so. He felt that Li Anran had come to seek refuge with him, so he had to take her in on account of his master.
Moreover, from their short interaction, it could be seen that the other party's character was not bad. How could he accept this money?
"Don't! Please don't!" He Yuzhu rejected it immediately." If I dare to take your money, do you believe that my master's spirit in heaven will scold me to death?”
"Junior brother, you can't say that.”Li Anran shook his head." If it's just for a short period of time, then I can definitely accept Junior Brother's care with a clear conscience. But I'm here to seek refuge with you now. I have a long life ahead of me!”
"Besides, it's not like I don't have money. It's normal for me to pay some money and food stamps every month. If Martial Uncle's spirit in heaven really scolds you, you can ask him to look for my grandmaster and my master. I'm not afraid!”
"Fine, I can't win against you in an argument." He Yuzhu smiled.
If at the beginning, he was more helpless about this cheap junior brother who came to his door than a favor, then now he really liked Li Anran. At the very least, he spoke openly and did things appropriately.
"That's because I'm right!" Li Anran smiled." How about this, Junior Brother? I'll give you 10 yuan a month. How about 30 catties of food stamps?"”
It was not that Li Anran was stingy. Ten yuan was really not a small amount. There were also 30 catties of food stamps. That was a national food stamp. If they were to exchange it for local food stamps in the pigeon market, it would be at least 60 catties, and it was especially fine grain.
This also meant that Li Anran had to eat two catties of fine grain a day, and it was pure dry grain without water. If it was coarse grain and coarse grain, the amount would be more than doubled.
In He Yuzhu's opinion, this was not giving him living expenses. This was basically helping him!
"Why would I need so much?" He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand." Five yuan is enough for a family of three to live on for a month. Also, don't give me the money and food stamps. I probably won't be able to keep them even if you give them to me.”
At the end of his sentence, He Yuzhu seemed to have thought of something and quickly reminded him.
"Little Senior Brother, the situation on my side is a little special. You must keep your money, food stamps, and other valuable things well. Don't put them anywhere. If…if you can't find Junior Brother, you can't afford to pay!”
Li Anran knew that what the other party wanted to say was not that they could not find it, but that it was stolen. As for the person who stole it, it was naturally the eldest son of the little widow Qin Huairu's family.
This little guy was young but ruthless. He liked to go to He Yuzhu's room to rummage through things when he had nothing to do.
Even if he was still limited to rummaging for food and drink, He Yuzhu could not guarantee that this kid would not be able to hold it in if he saw his Little Senior Brother's money and food stamps.
Most importantly, He Yuzhu was so good to the boy, but when he grew up, this kid ignored He Yuzhu's care for so many years and insisted on stopping his mother, the little widow Qin Huairu, from marrying He Yuzhu. He was definitely an ingrate!
"I see. Alright then." Li Anran nodded and did not force him." Junior Brother, tell me how to get to the grain store and the vegetable market later. By the way, I remember that there should be a pigeon market in Beijing. I'll go buy some things later and pay."”
"This…Alright." He Yuzhu originally wanted to say that he shouldn't buy the item. If he bought it, he would still " lose " it. However, after thinking about it, it would be really embarrassing if he said that. He could only take this matter to heart and plan to find a way to solve it later.
The two of them talked as they walked home. Not long after, they arrived outside a courtyard house.
"Little senior brother, this is where your junior brother lives.”As He Yuzhu spoke, she led him inside. As she walked, she could not help but show off." Although Junior Brother's place is not very spacious, it's the only one in this courtyard!”
"I'll tidy up the bedroom later. It's definitely not a problem to arrange a small bed. It's just that I might snore when I sleep.”
"It's okay. I snore too." Li Anran laughed.
"Alright, then at night, our house will be lively!”He Yuzhu also laughed.
After walking through the gate of the courtyard house, Li Anran felt that her eyes were not enough.
It wasn't about the people. At this time, those who were supposed to go to work and those who were supposed to go to school were busy with their own things.
Instead, he was looking at this quaint courtyard house. The traces of history and time, as well as the smell of fireworks, made this place exude a different kind of beauty.
"Yo! Silly Zhu 'er, why did you come back at this time?”A middle-aged woman who had just finished washing her clothes stopped in surprise.
An auntie did not have a job, an uncle was responsible for earning money to support the family, and she was responsible for running the family well.
This situation was very normal in this era. In fact, many families in the Siheyuan were in this situation.
"Auntie, I have relatives here.”He Yuzhu walked forward with a smile.
"Relatives?" A middle-aged woman looked at Li Anran, who was wearing a military coat, and her eyes lit up.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked Li Anran to be so good-looking? She had been well-groomed before she transmigrated. Not only was she fair and clean, but the temperament of a university student didn't look like someone from a small place.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Li Anran, Junior Brother He's Little Senior Brother.”Li Anran walked forward and introduced himself with a smile.
"Yo! This young man was really spirited.”A middle-aged woman praised him before she reacted." Wait a minute, Silly Zhu. Xiao Li is your Little Senior Brother? Why haven't I heard that your master has other disciples?”
"He's not my master's disciple. He's the disciple of my master's master's son.”He Yuzhu quickly explained. At the same time, he sighed," Hey! This relationship is quite complicated. However, she was an auntie, so this matter was definitely not wrong.”
