Chapter 271 Difficulties of family members

The next morning, Zhu Mei cooked breakfast and woke the children up.

After Ji Daming washed up, he sat at the dining table and took out a stack of coupons from his pocket, "These are the coupons issued this month. Keep them. After breakfast, go and get this month's food back."

Zhu Mei sent the children to wash up, then sat down and picked up the stack of tickets and looked at them.

She counted a dozen industrial coupons, a half-foot cloth mark, one kilogram of face stamps, thirty kilograms of rice stamps, half a kilogram of meat coupons, a lot of food stamps weighing more than ten kilograms, and finally some various coupons for daily necessities.

.

This amount of food is not enough to feed their family of four for a month. They have to spend money to buy some high-priced food every month just to survive for a month without going hungry.

"This is not an option for us. We have to find a way to solve my job, so that my household registration can be changed from rural to non-agricultural, and my children can enjoy the benefits of urban residents."

Ji Daming took a sip of porridge, glared at her angrily, and said in a irritated tone, "You think I don't want to, but things at work are not that easy. If there is such a relationship, would I not use it? I miss the children too.

It’s an urban household registration, so it will be easier to find a job in the future.”

At least both husband and wife are working, and the family's economic situation can be greatly improved. Moreover, the children's household registration is still in the countryside. Doesn't he want to solve the children's household registration problem?

Zhu Mei sighed, "I don't understand what you are saying. It's just that I try every means to improve my life, but it's always not satisfactory. I hope I can sell more money for the dried bamboo shoots this time."

Ji Daming paused while eating, "Is the neighbor really buying dried bamboo shoots?"

"Um."

"She really dares to do it! It seems that she has turned a deaf ear to what I said." Ji Daming sneered in his heart. He is such a fool. He doesn't do his job seriously and always thinks of crooked things.

"What did you say to her?" Zhu Mei's heart tightened and she asked anxiously.

"You didn't say anything?" How could Ji Daming say that he was raped by a woman?

"Mom, we've finished washing our faces."

"Eat breakfast quickly after washing. After that, you take your brother to school. Don't hang around and have fun on the way, especially by the dangerous pond. At school, you must listen to the teacher and take good care of your brother."

When interrupted by the children, Zhu Mei had no intention of questioning the man, and tirelessly told the children what to pay attention to when going to school every day.

There are not many family members in the power station now, and there are quite a few with children. However, there are not many children with them, so the power station does not have an attached school.

If the children at the power station want to go to school, they are usually placed in their hometown, but those who actually stay with their parents at the power station have to go to a primary school in a nearby village, which is not too far away, about five or six miles away.

It was fine if it wasn't windy or rainy, and walking on the dirt road was not strenuous.

If it is windy and rainy when going to school, the children will really suffer. Each step will slip, one step will be deep and one step will be shallow. They will have difficulty walking on the country road, and if they are not careful, they will fall all over themselves in the mud.

In this era, children from the countryside all came here like this, and the parents didn't feel too bad about it. They just took the child home after a fall, took a bath and changed clothes, and at most sent him there in person.

Ji Daming went to work in the factory after breakfast. Zhu Mei took care of the children after they had breakfast and watched them go to school with their schoolbags on their backs.

She quickly took out a few cloth bags from home and went all the way to the canteen.

Various tickets were issued yesterday. There must be a lot of people coming to the canteen to get food today. Go early to get it early.

Sure enough, before arriving at the canteen, I found that there were already more than a dozen people lined up behind the canteen.

"Da Ming family, come here quickly, you are finally here, everyone is waiting for you." Sister-in-law Li waved to Zhu Mei.

"I just sent the children off to school, so everyone has been waiting for a long time." Zhu Mei consciously stood at the back of the queue.

"Is Comrade Yu back?"

"She's back. I saw her coming out of the duty room this morning." The wife of another employee at the front of the queue replied.

Zhu Mei nodded and said, "I'm back. I came back yesterday evening."

Sister-in-law Li couldn't wait to ask: "It's good to come back. Did she say when to harvest the dried bamboo shoots? And how much does it cost to harvest dried bamboo shoots per pound?"

She pulled a lot of bamboo shoots and dried them this year. If she didn't harvest them, their family wouldn't be able to eat so much.

"Collect." Zhu Mei looked excited when she talked about this, and hurriedly told everyone the request that Yu Qing told her yesterday, "Don't worry, everyone. Sister Qing will start collecting at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then you will

She can just take the bamboo shoots she dried at home this year. As long as the quality is up to standard, she wants them. And the price is high, a full 50 cents more than at the purchasing station."

"Hey! This price is really good."

"Where did Comrade Yu go to sell so many bamboo shoots? The price was even higher than the price given by the purchasing station." Someone asked.

Sister-in-law Li couldn't stand this kind of person who easily got jealous, so she scolded her: "You don't care where they sell it, as long as you take your bamboo shoots with real money, don't worry about the rest. If you offend her, the bamboo shoots will not be dried."

If you accept it, you won’t be able to sell it for a cent, and everyone will have to waste so much effort. Are you responsible?”

The little daughter-in-law who raised the question was scolded so much that she didn't dare to say a word. She didn't dare to do such a thing that would cause public outrage.

Zhu Mei reminded everyone: "I made an agreement with her to deliver the goods at three o'clock in the afternoon. Don't go there in advance and wake her up. She is very tired after working an early shift. Let her have a good sleep first and receive the goods in the afternoon."

You won’t make any mistakes.”

The main reason was that these old ladies had been waiting for several days to sell the dried bamboo shoots. She was afraid that they would knock on the door in advance and disturb Yu Qing's rest.

Having said this, everyone's attention was once again attracted by the food they were about to receive.

Sister-in-law Li asked Zhu Mei: "Can your family survive this month with food?"

After hearing this, Zhu Mei smiled bitterly: "It's barely enough. Anyway, part of Daming's salary in our family has to be allocated to buy high-priced grains every month, and the rest has to be sent back to his parents at home for five yuan. Two people at home."

The children are growing up, and their nutrition cannot be neglected. Coupled with the miscellaneous expenses at home, there is basically no money left in a month."

"Who's family didn't come here like this? It will get better as soon as the children grow up." Sister-in-law Li comforted her. The wages of the employees at the station are high, but it is difficult for a single worker to support a family. Unless it is a dual-income family, the economy may be much better.

For example, Comrade Yu Qing.

She herself is an employee of the company, and the man she is looking for is also an employee. The food, welfare and wages for both of them are doubled. It is not difficult to imagine that there is no problem in providing food and clothing.

If the mountain products in the mountains can really be sold for money, it will be a good deed for the family members of the station, which can at least alleviate part of the family burden.

Yu Qing came home from get off work in the morning, had breakfast, went to bed, and slept until about one o'clock in the afternoon before waking up.

Five hours won't make you sleep full, but it will also make you energetic.

She yawned and touched the skin on her face. It was a bit rough. Staying up late had a great impact on the body.
