284. Chapter 278 It’s really nothing


Chapter 278 It’s really nothing

In Li Jiayi’s memory, it was more than a year after the food shortage ended that the meat factory began to supply pork.

And there is not a lot of supply. This does not mean that there are not enough pigs, but starting from 1963, Lao Maozi has to pay debts, and the country has to repay Lao Maozi's debts, and this is only three years. .

It's basically like a seamless connection. Just after the three-year difficult period here, Lao Maozi is in debt.

After the debts were paid off, it was 1966 again, and the people really did not have a good life!

Moreover, Lao Maozi is also very bad, because he has no money to repay, so he can only use materials to pay off his debts.

But you must follow their standards. If you don’t meet the standards, don’t accept them. If you don’t accept the apples, you don’t want them.

Anyway, there are all kinds of difficulties.

“Not only can’t we raise a lot, but it’s time to pay off the debt.”

“Repay the debt? What debt should be paid back?” Liao Kai asked.

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "You don't know?"

"What do I know?"

"Okay!" Looking at Liao Kai, it seemed I really don’t know. Li Jiayi could only explain: "Our country has borrowed a lot of money from Lao Maozi, and it will be repaid soon."

"Ah! No! Didn’t Lao Maozi support it?" Liao Kai asked with a look of disbelief.

“Who told you it was support? Do you know how much an old engineer would pay to stay in our country for a month?”

"Pay back the money?"

"Of course you have to pay, and it's a lot. The salary of an engineer at the lowest level is more than 500 yuan, while our own engineers at the same level only have a salary of 100 yuan." More.”

“It’s true! These old idiots come to support us and ask for money?”
"What do you think! And this is just the salary. They also have food expenses of 13.5 yuan per person per day, transportation expenses of 7.5 yuan, and entertainment expenses of 75 cents."

"Grandma, this is too much! These things alone cost more than 20 a day, and what is this entertainment fee?"

"It's the money needed to study and read newspapers. It's called entertainment expenses."

"Damn it, these old idiots even need money to study and read newspapers!" Liao Kai said with clenched fists.

"How normal! This doesn't even include medical expenses! These old guys pay great attention to this. They have to give them money regardless of whether they have medical treatment or not, and they have to pay it every month. ”

Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi Asked: "Isn't that right! How can I get paid if I don't get medical treatment?"

"You don't understand this! You have to pay even if you don't get medical treatment. If they work here for one day, you have to give them one day of medical treatment. Fei, what if you get sick in the future?”

"They need medical treatment! Isn't it free for them to see a doctor here?"

"But what if they don't get the disease here but get it after they return?"

Hearing from Li Jia Having said that, Liao Kaitou He said out loud: "What does getting sick in their country have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter, he has worked here!"

"Isn't this unreasonable!"

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said: "Yes, it is so unreasonable. So after calculation, the lowest level engineer can get more than a thousand yuan a month, which is about three times more than Mao Zedong. You Dare to think. ”

And how much is Grandpa Mao’s salary! Six hundred and twenty-two per month, which was considered the highest salary at the time.

“Damn, these old fools are really nothing.” Liao Kai scolded.

In fact, in later generations, many people also thought that Lao Maozi came to support construction.

Li Jiayi thought so at first, and once he quarreled with others because of this.

He searched on the Internet and found out that this was not the case. The support had to be paid back.

And Lao Maozi's salary here is very high. Experts of the same level earn more than ten times that of our own people.

At that time, Lao Maozi had a total of 20,000 experts here. When they were evacuated, none of them wanted to leave.

Why don’t you want to leave? Because the salary is high and the treatment is good!

“Jiayi, are you saying that you will start paying off your debts soon?”

"Almost! It will probably start in about half a year at most."

"Oh! In other words, we still won't have a good life for a few days."

"Don't worry, it's just that supplies are a little tight. , The ration will not be reduced in the future. The supply of meat may be reduced in the next few years. "

"It will be fine if the ration is not reduced. As for reducing the meat, even if it is not reduced, it won't be much."
< br>“Yes.”

"In this case, I won't get food for now. I still have a few dozen kilograms at home, which is enough to last for a while."

"Yeah!"

Food is still very expensive now, because the country is getting more and more expensive. At this time of recession, everyone's life will become more and more difficult.

Now white flour costs four to five yuan per catty. Maybe in a month or two, the price of white flour will be the same as before the difficult period, becoming more than 10 cents per catty.

In this case, who would buy food at this time?

Although Liao Kai took food from Li Jiayi for free, he couldn't take it because it didn't cost money.

Food is expensive now! If he doesn't want it, he can sell the grain to others and make a lot more money.

Li Jiayi's takeout of food is a secret to others, but to Liao Kai, it is not a secret at all.

Don’t forget, it was Liao Kai who introduced Mr. Wu to Li Jiayi.

After drinking tea for a while and chatting for a while, Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen took the little girl home after seeing it was getting late.

The eldest cousin also went back to Courtyard No. 15 to rest alone. He only ate here and did not live here.

Back upstairs, Li Jiayi locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.

The space is still the same as before, and the things grown are no longer mainly high-yielding.

Except for growing some for feed from time to time, rice and wheat are basically the main crops.

Even the vegetable plot mainly grows some popular vegetables. It has been more than three years. Everything else has changed a lot, but the Lingcha tree in the small courtyard has not changed at all.

The size is still the same as before, and it may have grown, but the growth is not obvious at all.

It may take decades or even hundreds of years to make obvious discoveries.

But it doesn’t matter, because the tea produced is enough for him. Now there are two hundred kilograms of tea in the space.

This is all saved in daily life. Although there are many people who drink it, this tea is the best!

Li Jiayi drinks tea so much that he always grabs it with a handful, but five or six pounds a year is enough.

As for Li Aimin, who is more economical, he can't even drink two kilograms a year. Of course, this is also because he sometimes drinks at home.

So in the past few years, Li Jiayi can still store so much spiritual tea in his space.

This is spiritual tea! It's hard to find someone who is not one of his own, but Li Jiayi won't give him any.

If nothing else, let’s talk about Liao Kai. He only eats one pound per year at most, but Liao Kai is so smart!

I only drink my own when I'm at work. After get off work, I go to Li Jia's house for tea.

After collecting today’s spiritual tea, Li Jiayi came to the orchard. The types of fruit trees still did not increase, but the number increased a lot.

After collecting the ripe fruits, Li Jiayi came to the back mountain again.

More than three years have passed outside, but a hundred years have passed here, so there are a lot of century-old ginseng and century-old polygonum multiflorum.

If this thing is found sixty years later, it will definitely be hard to find, but at this time, it is still not very valuable.

Of course, the entire back mountain is not limited to these century-old ginseng and polygonum multiflorum, there are also many other vintages.

And the most common are these other years, ranging from ninety-nine years under a hundred years to one year.

Every year these ginsengs will bloom and bear fruit, and when the fruits fall to the ground, there will be new ginsengs.

Including those Polygonum multiflorum is the same.

After seeing these ginseng and polygonum multiflorum, Li Jia put a handful of mature Ganoderma lucidum and saffron into the still space.

Yes, there are a lot of medicinal materials on the back mountain now, and some of them are relatively rare.

Even Li Jiayi got some Cordyceps sinensis from Tongrentang, of course the live kind.

These days, as long as you have money, you can buy almost everything you want, although you can’t say that you can get it.

Of course, this is when there are channels. For example, if he buys medicinal materials, then the pharmacy is the channel.

In addition, he also wanted some fruits from the south, but unfortunately he couldn't do so because there was no such channel!

The supply and marketing cooperative does sell some fruits, but they are all delivered from the head office.

After collecting the medicinal materials, Li Jiayi returned to the small courtyard, first went to wash up, and then took a bath before going to rest.

No words for a night.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Li Jia got up from bed, came to the small courtyard and started boxing.

His boxing skills are now very powerful, and he can hit Taizu Changquan twelve times.

It's twice as much as his master, but unfortunately he's still not strong enough because he's not yet an adult.

Yes, he is not weak now, even stronger than an adult, but this is also because of his strong body.

Without adulthood, the body is not fully developed and cannot use its full strength.

After the boxing, Li Jiayi was also sweating profusely! Quickly drink some spiritual spring water to replenish your energy.

Then wash up, take a shower, put on some clothes, and come out of the space.

"Good morning, brother Jiayi."

"Good morning, why did you get up so early?" Li Jiayi asked, touching his cousin's head.

“Get up as soon as you wake up.”

“Yeah! Not bad, early to bed and early to get up is good for your health.”

“Yeah!”

"Go and wash up!"

"Okay, brother Jiayi."

"Jiayi is here?"

"Yes, sister."
< br>The eldest sister gets up very early every day, even if she doesn't go to school. She gets up to find some work and helps clean up the housework.

Only the second sister is lazy, especially now that she doesn't go to school. She won't be able to afford it until midnight if she doesn't sleep.

As soon as Li Jiayi came out of the house, he saw his cousin coming in from the door.

"Brother."

"Plus one."

"Cheng Qian is here? Have you washed up?" Ye Xin came out of the kitchen at this time and asked when she saw him road.

"Auntie, I've finished washing up."

"Then hurry up and get ready for dinner."

Today is not Sunday, so you still have to go to work, and Li Jiayi also has to go to school.

Even the second sister is not expected to be around for long. When the rationing is restored, the school will definitely reopen.
