The city in the 1950s was much smaller than the city in 2021.
In 2021, the area of the 49 City was more than 16000 square kilometers. Now, it was only about 10,000 square kilometers. The difference was more than 6000 square kilometers.
Apart from the area, the population and buildings of the city could not be compared.
There were no skyscrapers, elevated roads, or subways. At a glance, the street was a little deserted.
He Yuzhu's courtyard house was close to the suburbs, and the nearby river led to the suburbs.
In 2021, most of the land in City 49 had been reclaimed except for Beihai Park for construction purposes. Now, there were many places with water.
He Yuzhu brought his wife fishing and returned with a full load. As soon as He Yuzhu left, Jia Gan occupied the 'Feng Shui treasure land'.
Those who were a step slower had a look of pity on their faces.
Jia Gan was pleased.
"If Silly Zhu can catch so many big fish, I will definitely catch more today.”Jia Gan thought.
Perhaps the Feng Shui in this position was really good. After a while, Jia Gan caught an eel. Although it wasn't big, it made him very excited.
After a while, another person took the bait.
Jia Gan felt that the fishing rod was heavy, but he was delighted."This is definitely a big fish."
Jia Gan's legs turned to jelly when he lifted the fishing rod.
He had actually caught a snake.
Not only was Jia Gan shocked, but the two people beside him were also shocked.
"Snake!"
"There's a snake!"
Instantly, the people beside Jia Gan ran away.
Jia Gan was also in a mess.
In Jia Gan's panic, the snake unhooked itself and fell to Jia Gan's feet.
As the snake jumped up, it bit Jia Gan's…
legs. Jia Gan fell to the ground and peed his pants.
Although water snakes were generally not poisonous, Jia Gan was still very afraid.
Only when the snake that bit Jia Gan left did someone dare to come over.
"Fortunately, this snake isn't poisonous.”
"The root was bitten? Let's go to the hospital."
In this day and age, there were still warm-hearted people. The two old men helped Jia Gan to the hospital.
When they
returned to the courtyard house, He Yuzhu took out three uncles and gave one to the first uncle, one to the third uncle, and one to the fourth uncle.
The biggest fish was made into three dishes by He Yuzhu: radish tofu fresh fish soup, braised fish, and chopped pepper fish head.
Due to the limitations of the seasonings, the taste was not as good as before he transmigrated, but it was still a rare delicacy in the 1950s.
The fish soup and braised fish were brought to the backyard for the Deaf Old Lady. He ate the chopped pepper fish head himself, and the Old Lady could not eat it either.
Even the braised fish for the old lady was neither salty nor spicy.
In the original novel, the Deaf Old Lady could be said to be the kindest person in the quad and also the smartest. The bridge that the old lady walked on was also longer than the road that others walked on.
After taking a closer look at Qin Huiru, the old lady praised Silly Zhu for marrying a good wife.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable in front of the Deaf Grandmother Qi. She felt that she no longer had any secrets in front of the old lady and that everything was seen through.
"You caught such a big fish?" The old lady was also surprised.
After accompanying the old lady for a meal, He Yuzhu planned to go out and buy some herbs.
He still had to continue making medicinal dishes.
He would complete a system mission by making another herbal dish, and he would be rewarded with a bicycle ticket.
A cheap bicycle was only 63.5 yuan now, but in two years, the cheapest bicycle would cost more than 100 yuan.
Money wasn't a problem, but the bicycle ticket was.
Without a bicycle ticket, one could not buy a bicycle even if they had money.
No, you could buy a bicycle in Pigeon City, but it was not cheap.
There were all kinds of tickets sold in Pigeon City.
For example, a bicycle ticket would cost 100 yuan in Pigeon Market.
He Yuzhu could afford to go to Pigeon City to buy a bicycle ticket and then a bicycle, but it would cost a lot.
However, bicycle tickets were really rare.
A workshop director of the Red Star Rolling Mill might not even get a bicycle ticket every year.
The Red Star Rolling Mill had tens of thousands of workers and eight workshops. Each workshop had a workshop director and a deputy director. Last year, only five workshop directors received bicycle tickets, and this year, there were only a few.
The workshop deputy director didn't even dare to think about it.
He Daqing was the deputy director of the canteen. He had worked for so many years, but he had never gotten a bicycle ticket.
The canteen director could get a bicycle ticket. If he was lucky, he would get one every year. If he was unlucky, he would get one every few years.
Just as He Yuzhu was busy, an old man rushed over.
"Zhu Zi, something happened." First Uncle.
"Who's in trouble? What's the matter? He Yuzhu was also curious.
"It's Jia Gan. He was bitten by a snake while fishing today.”
"He's still in the hospital."
"Because the injury was too serious, it cost 40 yuan. The Jia family didn't have any money, so they borrowed 10 yuan from me.”
The first uncle also pitied the Jia family. They had an orphan and a widow. Their lives were not good to begin with. Jia Gan had been criticized by the entire factory some time ago, and his level as a fitter had dropped. Now, his monthly salary was much lower than before.
He Yuzhu was a little speechless. He didn't know what to say to the First Master.
The Jia family had no money? He Yuzhu did not believe that the Jia family could not fork out 40 yuan.
He Yuzhu dared to say that the Jia family would not return the money that First Uncle lent them last time and this time.
A good dog could even wag its tail, but the Jia family's mother and son were worse than a dog.
However, it was fine as long as First Uncle was happy.
However, he would not allow He Yuzhu to lend money to the Jia family.
"Then why is Grandpa Yi telling me this now?”He Yuzhu asked.
"If you make a herbal dish for Jia Gan, all the conflicts in the past will be over. We are all neighbors, so there is no need to make things too tense.”
A herbal dish cost 50 yuan, and the First Uncle really had the guts to ask.
"I'm stupid and rich? Repaying evil with good?" He Yuzhu found it laughable.
Just the fact that Jia Gan could place Zhang Shi's pants and shoes in He Yuzhu's house was enough to make him feel great hatred.
It was a little wrong to cut off Qin Huiru, but Jia Gan had gone too far.
"I'd rather give my herbal dish to a dog than Jia Gan.”He Yuzhu sneered.
"You..." First Uncle was very angry.
Following that, the unyielding First Uncle continued to talk about morals, but He Yuzhu only chuckled.
"If my father agrees, I will agree.”When the first uncle talked for a long time, He Yuzhu said calmly.
First Uncle was stunned. He Daqing?
Based on what First Uncle knew about He Daqing, it was impossible for him to agree to give Jia Gan a 50-yuan herbal dish for free.
Not to mention He Daqing, no one in this courtyard was willing to do so. Even First Uncle himself was unwilling. Otherwise, why didn't he take out 50 yuan and give it to He Yuzhu?
50 yuan was not a small sum. It was half a month's salary for an old man.
Unable to convince He Yuzhu, First Uncle went to look for Qin Huairu, hoping that she could persuade He Yuzhu. Qin Huairu agreed to it very well, but she did not take it to heart. She would not give Jia Gan a portion of the herbal dish, let alone one.
