At this time, there were not many people in the single employee canteen. The singles who did not work on Sunday were still sleeping soundly. Those who bought breakfast were the surrounding Jianggang employees and their families. Other residents could not buy breakfast without meal tickets.
Sun Jian queued up and bought five meat buns and two steamed buns, each two by two.
Sun Shun can eat a meat bun and a steamed bun in one meal. Sun Jian and Sun's father each eat a bun and a steamed bun. Sun's mother and Sun Yuan can eat a big meat bun. They drink some porridge and eat some pickles. This is
A share that is often purchased at home.
It’s not the time to eat and drink with open belly!
Usually, when there is no cooking time in the morning or there is no time to light the stove, Sun's father will come back from the cafeteria with a big bowl of porridge.
Dual-income workers and their families living in the red house can enjoy the benefits of Jianggang's canteen, just like the faculty and staff of colleges and technical secondary schools and their families enjoy the benefits of the school canteen. In this era, breakfast is done around the single employee canteen on Eighth Street, and business is huge.
After more than ten years of recession, people's wallets have warmed up, demand has increased, and houses have been renovated. Residents on the first floor facing the street rented out their houses and turned them into restaurants and shops, and the business was booming.
Grandmother cooked porridge and washed clothes.
"Mom, the book says that after the porridge is boiled, take it off and cover it. Wait twenty minutes and then boil it again and it will be done!"
Sun Jian remembered the trick of cooking porridge in his previous life, which was very energy-saving and did not require anyone to watch. He couldn't help but tell his mother to bring down the porridge, fill the pot with water, and put it on the fire to boil the water.
My grandma must believe what the educated eldest son said.
Sun Jian cleaned up the coal ash in the kitchen, took it downstairs with the kitchen garbage and dumped it. He washed a mop in the toilet, mopped the kitchen, and wiped the kitchen stove and cupboards with Yizhihua brand detergent.
, this used to be a hygiene routine that grandma would do on Sundays.
Laundry and hygiene may seem like a trivial matter, and it takes one or two hours to do. Older people often have backaches and are more tired than going to work.
In his previous life, Sun Jian had to sit on the sofa for half an hour to do hygiene at home.
After rebirth, Sun Jian worked hard to make his mother less tired.
"Jianjian, you go downstairs and chat with Uncle Li while Mom comes to do the cleaning!"
"Mom, if you do something more, just exercise!"
Sun Jian started cleaning the living room and back room again, plastering and mopping the floor.
Sun's mother knew that her eldest son was a diligent person, so she stopped trying to persuade him. Sun Jian went up to the footbath and poured the clothes that his mother had rubbed into the washing machine.
"Mom, how much did this washing machine cost?"
After his mother left, Sun Jian went home to visit his father every time in his previous life. In order to slow down his father's brain atrophy, he always liked to talk to his father about the past and the prices of the items he purchased?
The old father could actually remember the title and content of an essay he wrote when he was attending night school in 1964, telling the story of his Anshan Iron and Steel master who was worried about the Kuomintang's counterattack on the mainland and applied to be sent back to the northeastern countryside. What are the names of everyone in the team?
Home? How many sons and girls? What are they doing now? They talked about it with great interest. They recounted their treasures and told them to their son over and over again. I admired the old man’s memory and felt inferior to him. He couldn’t even remember the names of all ninety-five of his college classmates!
"In June 1983, your dad, your mom, Uncle Liu, and Aunt Wang bought it at the Gangcheng Department Store. The washing machine ticket issued by the union, the aluminum alloy liner selected by your dad and Uncle Liu, one hundred and seventy-five
Yuan, it’s still a second-class product, it cost your mother and your father one and a half months’ salary!”
One hundred and seventy-five yuan in this period is equivalent to more than ten thousand yuan in the previous life!
A worker in Jiangcheng can support a family of four with a salary of 60 yuan!
Sun Jian's monthly salary increased from 58 yuan when he graduated from medical school to nearly 600 times before he traveled through time. For ordinary people, it increased by about 100 times.
A bowl of tea in this period only costs one penny, but in the previous life it cost one yuan.
But the official exchange rate of U.S. dollars for RMB during this period was 1:3.5, the black market price was 1:6.7, and the market price on the day before Sun Jian crossed over was 1:6.75!
Thirty-five years have passed, has the RMB depreciated? Or has the US dollar depreciated?
Sun's father often settled accounts for Sun Jian in his later years. In the past, a month's salary was fifty yuan, and a hundred kilograms of grain sold for ten yuan. A month's salary could only buy five hundred kilograms of grain. Now, one hundred kilograms of grain sells for one hundred yuan.
Yuan, a pension of more than 5,000 yuan can buy more than 5,000 kilograms of grain.
The common people calculated their income growth based on grain prices, and based on Sun's father's simple calculation, they came to the conclusion that their lives are getting better and better now, and they are grateful that the government often increases pensions for retired workers like them.
The grandson's father and grandma also enjoyed a set of Jianggang's welfare housing, which was later demolished by developers. In addition, he spent more than 120,000 yuan to buy an 87-square-meter commercial house. Before Sun Jian traveled through time, his father
The market price of the house we live in is nearly 2 million yuan!
Sun's mother's face was filled with pride. The Sun family is a dual-income family, and Jianggang is very profitable. Now the couple earns nearly 180 yuan a month. The eldest son will soon have to go to work to get a salary, and there is no need in any aspect.
Fall behind others.
My grandson and grandson will not compare themselves with rich people they don’t know, but only with their neighbors with the same conditions around them. They are no worse than others and feel at ease.
The eldest son comes back on weekends, buys meat at home, and makes soup at the end of the month!
"Mom, does the Gangcheng Department Store sell Lotus brand double-cylinder washing machines?"
"Yes, Mom and Aunt Wang watched it last month. It's good, but it's too expensive. It costs more than four hundred yuan."
Nowadays, there is no need to vote for domestically produced household appliances. As long as you have money, the supply is open.
"Mom, when my son saves enough money, he will buy one for his family so that he won't have to wring it out one by one every time!"
"Jianjian, what are you going to do with that wasted money? Save it for yourself and get a wife later! Mom will need this machine for at least ten years!"
Sun Jian seems to have to think hard to buy a two-cylinder washing machine for his mother that costs more than 400 yuan, let alone a fully automatic washing machine that costs more than 1,000 yuan. Even if he buys it back, where should he put the old washing machine? Give it to others?
The two of them received nearly one and a half months' salary, which would make my grandma feel distressed!
The mother and son mopped the floor at home with laundry water. Sun Jian poured boiling water into the boiling water bottle, then put the drum on the stove, boiled the porridge, brought it down again, and helped his mother twist the clothes that had been washed twice.
After drying, they were piled in two wash basins and carried to the yard downstairs. The mother and son clamped them with hangers and wooden clips and hung them on the wire.
The lighting and ventilation of the red house are not good, and the inner balcony is designed to be dried inside during the day when it rains or snows. On Sundays, everyone’s washed clothes, quilts and sheets are dried in the yard. The whole yard is hung with thousands of national flags. Who can get up early?
Use it first. If you get up late, you have to take out the rope yourself, tie it between the tree trunks, and hang your clothes to dry. You are used to it, and you won’t fight to get a spot. If it rains and there is no one at home, your neighbors will help take it back.
