The difference is that one really becomes more interested in this industry the more he works, while the other has to be busy in order to be more comfortable in the future.
"director……"
"Lao Wan, come in and sit down."
"Director, this is the ticket I received from the bureau for this month. The purchase note for the canteen has been given to Lao Jin."
"Well, let's take a look, huh? Why did you give so much cotton and cloth coupons this month?"
"Isn't it already September?"
"Oh yes, I asked everyone to prepare clothes to keep out the cold in advance. I'm confused. Lao Wan, how many can we get now?"
"For cotton coupons, formal workers and temporary workers will work together, the average is half a catty per person, and cloth coupons are five feet per person."
"Half a catty...that's eight taels." Li Heng frowned and thought for a while and said: "Well, Lao Wan, the cotton coupons will be given out at half a catty per person, and there will be no more. If you want to clothe the coupons, wait for my consultation.
Let’s discuss our opinions. If everyone agrees, let’s distribute the defective cloth to everyone so that everyone can distribute more. The cloth tickets will be kept as rewards in the future. If you don’t want to, let’s talk about it again.”
"If it were me, I would definitely like it. I don't think those cloths will affect anything."
"Okay, I have consulted your opinion. Now I will obey the majority."
Li Heng briefly looked at the tickets, then signed his name on the registration book and handed it to Lao Wan.
"The tickets will be left at your place first. You can notify the cotton coupons to come over and collect them. When everyone comes to your place to collect them, you can ask everyone what they think."
"I understand, Director."
"By the way, Lao Wan, you often run around the game, and you may have heard some news about our place being upgraded."
"Ah, I heard it."
"Then what do you think?"
"I follow the leader's arrangements."
"Haha, okay, I understand, you go down first."
…
Tickets, all kinds of tickets, have to be used for thirty years, and there will be coupons in a few years.
Until there is overcapacity and there is no shortage of food or anything else, these things that have been with many people for most of their lives will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
This stuff gives many people more headaches than money.
Because as long as you have a job, money will be paid to you more or less every month.
But tickets are not necessarily needed. Tickets for household necessities will be given to you every month or at regular intervals. Even if the tickets issued at one time are not enough, you can still get enough by saving for a period of time.
But some tickets really won’t be seen for a year or two or even three to five years, and there really is no place to buy them with money.
Like bicycle tickets, radio tickets, watches, fans, blankets, coats, etc.
Not to mention the people below, there are some that Li Heng has never seen before.
The scarcity of supplies is really not just talk.
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, although it was not explicitly stated that tickets could no longer be used, those stores and shopping malls consciously stopped accepting them.
Because there are so many goods, if you have to have a ticket when you want to buy them, then you really can’t sell them.
Bills have been implemented for more than a year, and now people are used to it. Sometimes they are even happier to see bills than money.
Just wait, they will issue cotton coupons and cloth coupons this month, and other units must be similar, because it will basically get cold here in Sijiu City next month, and people must prepare winter clothes to keep out the cold.
Bar.
For those without jobs, as long as they have a household registration, the neighborhood committee will also give them to them, but no unit will give them as much.
For example, as many children as junior high school and above and as many infants as possible, points will be given.
How can I put it these days? Although we are really poor, our welfare benefits are indeed good. Here we only refer to those with urban hukou.
It only costs a little per semester for children to go to school, and there will be subsidies when they reach high school.
There is no charge for medical treatment, and those who are employed will be reimbursed at their workplace. Those who are not employed can also be reimbursed at their workplace if someone in their family works.
In fact, even without reimbursement, it really doesn’t cost much to see a doctor these days, because to put it bluntly, serious illnesses are basically waiting for death, and minor illnesses are just a few cents or two cents, which is enough to last for one or two yuan.
, which is considered to be a lot of money.
Then there is the food. Although the rations are tight, it is not a big problem to fill the stomach. The key is that they are cheap.
For a family of five, as long as one person in the family has a formal job and can receive a monthly salary of thirty yuan, the family can live a comfortable life and save money.
Of course, it is inevitable to be greedy.
In fact, the most important thing is that the house is free. This saves a lot of money.
In a few decades, if there is no need to spend money on houses, I believe that many families in China will live extremely comfortable lives. If they have some spare money during the holidays, they can take the whole family out for a walk and experience the beauty of the motherland.
Great rivers and mountains.
But just that one house has emptied the wallets of many families for several generations. It is not enough, and they have to bear the loan.
Especially in some places, if you are born without a house, you may not be able to own one in your lifetime.
For example, in the land where Li Heng is standing now, the future housing prices will soar to the sky. He stands on the top and looks down at all living beings.
Those courtyard houses in the alleys at the back, as long as they are complete and have clear property rights, the prices are, tsk tsk... people can't bear to look at them, and even counting zeros will make people dizzy.
When Li Heng just passed by, and when he heard that they were going to Sijiu City, his first reaction was to stock up on courtyard houses. But to be honest, when he saw those dilapidated houses, he was as disappointed as he could be.
At this time, he felt that the house was in bad condition because he had not yet seen the grand transformation of the courtyard house into a large courtyard house.
Not many people are building houses in the yard now. Looking back twenty years from now, he may have even more headaches when the alley that used to be easy for cars to drive through becomes one where people have to turn sideways to walk.
In addition, when he took into account his age at the time, he was so enthusiastic that his heart went cold.
A lifetime of hard work is just for the child, no matter what he thinks, he will feel uncomfortable.
This was related to the fact that in his previous life, when he was in his thirties, he had not yet gotten married and had children. As for enjoying family happiness, he simply could not imagine what it felt like.
He worked hard for more than ten years in his previous life, and worked hard for nine years in this life. All he can think about now is to enjoy life and the world between him and his wife. As for the child? Where is the coolness?
Just stay and go.
After Lao Wan left, Li Heng sat alone in the office and thought for a while, then raised his voice and called Guo Xiaokun over.
"Director, what are your orders?" Guo Xiaokun also heard that the unit will be upgraded next year. He dare not think about continuing to be the office director. It is simply impossible.
But he really thought about continuing to serve Li Heng. He was only in his early thirties. If he could follow a young and promising leader, he would have a broader future.
