"If you can't go back, you can't go back. It's just Viagra. Don't look at me coming here with so many things, but the conditions at my home are not good. My home is in a hutong in the capital, and I live in a courtyard.

Brother Li should know what Hutong Chuanzi is.

I have a brother above me, and someone has arranged a match for him, and he is about to get married. Now that we have a family, we have to find a new house, right?

But the house is so big and there is no room for living in it. Even if I go back, I won’t have anywhere to spend the night, so it’s better to stay here. There is a vast world and a lot to accomplish.”

Nan Yi's words were full of desolation and helplessness. Except for Liu Zhen and Jiang Biyun, few others could empathize with him.

When it comes to housing shortages, Shanghai citizens who live in old bungalows have more say, but Ke Hongxing is not a small citizen; the others are either high-ranking officials in their families, or they are not poor in terms of housing space.

But just because they haven't experienced it doesn't mean they don't have imagination.

Here, they don’t have to squeeze into a single home with several people of the same sex living together, and there will be a lot of friction. If men and women live together, and one of them is a couple, how will everyone live?

Lin Guangwei patted Nan Yi's arm and gave him an encouraging look, all without saying a word.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Nan Yi dug out the sheepskin bag and carried the things in the direction of Xian Yaodong's house.

In the yard, Li Hai said there: "We should not worry about Nan Yi's things. These may be all the belongings he took from home after being separated."

"Brother Li, what is Hutong Chuanzi?"

"That's not a nice thing to say. It's about people who spend the whole day wandering around in alleys with nothing to do. When Nanyi said that, it meant that the conditions at home were not good. Let me tell you, there are those kinds of courtyards in the alleys of the capital.

There may be a dozen or even dozens of families living in the courtyard.

A household may only have an area of ​​ten to seven to eight square meters. If there are many people in the family, it will really be difficult to live in it. If someone starts a family with an older child and a younger child in the future, it will be even more difficult to live in the home.

Liu Zhen, did you and Nan Yi take the initiative to come here to jump in line? I heard that now they are basically assigned to the suburbs and rarely assigned to other places."

"I'm not, but my brother seems to be. I heard the teacher say that my brother signed up on his own initiative."

"That's it."

"Alas, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite." Lin Guangwei sighed.

Lai Jihua's ears were twitching, but his eyes still glanced at Nan Yi's net bag placed by the patio from time to time.

At Xian Yaodong's house, Nan Yi told Xian Yaodong similar arguments again and put forward his request to settle down.

"Uncle Xian, I don't want to embarrass you. You don't have to agree to me right now. Let me stay here for a while and see how many work points I can earn in a day. When the members accept me, we can talk about settling down.

However, you have also seen that Liu Zhen is so thin. It is not because she is sick, but because there is nothing good to eat at home, she often does not have enough to eat and is malnourished.

She must not be able to do heavy work. I would like to ask you to find a light job for her, cutting pigweed. How many work points are there in a day?"

"Six."

"Then please help arrange it. I will work twelve work points a day, but you still give me ten work points. At the end of the year, Liu Zhen will be short of her by any amount, and I will get money to make up for it. Do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, one of the pigweed cutters is Yaohua's daughter-in-law. She will soon go to the Five-Star Canteen to work as a temporary worker. Although she is a temporary worker, she has become a working class person. I can decide on her position for Liu Zhen.

.”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xian. Just wait and see how I perform."

After leaving Xian Yaodong's home, Nan Yi returned to the outside of the ancestral hall, looked at the Huhai brand watch on his left wrist, lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, stared at the courtyard door, and waited slowly.

…

"Gu Gu, Gu Gu!"

"What the hell, have you heard the cuckoo crow at night?"

"I've heard of it."

"..."

"Put down the sanitary napkin, and take the rest back to the city and put them in my room."

"What's wrong? Plans have changed?"

"I just pretended to be poor, and if I take Huazi out again now, I'm just slapping myself in the face."

"Okay, then I'll take it back."

Men San'er untied the binding rope on the schoolbag rack, took out two boxes of sanitary napkins, and bundled the others back.

"Master Nan, I just bought this car today. It is also placed in your house. It is convenient for you to use it at ordinary times."

"Okay, hurry up about the black market. Also, help me look around to see if anyone else has a house for sale. If the house is good, buy it. If you like it, buy a few of them yourself."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Go ahead and be careful on the road."

Nan Yi and Men San'er had actually visited Bao'an earlier, and each of them bought an apartment here. They were in a hurry and didn't have much time to wander around slowly.

Otherwise, Nanyi will definitely buy a few more sets.

Don't think that there are no houses with private property rights in this era, in fact there are.

Generally speaking, if the house belonged to your family before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and you have the deed to it, as long as you are not a landlord, you will not be subject to liquidation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state will still recognize the house deed in your hand, and if you go to the housing management office to change it, the house will still belong to you.

of.

The property rights of this kind of house are private, and individuals have the right to buy and sell. This is fundamentally different from the kind of house allocated by the state.

For example, those large courtyards in Beijing are allocated by the state. Before the housing reform, the property rights were all owned by the state. Individuals only had the right to live in them and had no right to buy or sell at all.

Nan Yi took the sanitary napkin back, and there was another commotion on the female educated youth side.

The sanitary belts are padded with straw paper, and some even use plant ash. Women with more or less gynecological diseases have never seen such softness and care.

Well, whether or not any relatives are here, everyone will sleep on a mattress tonight.

Liu Zhen slept soundly and sweetly.

It’s great to have this brother here, he helps me think of everything.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Nan Yi carefully got up from the bed, folded the thin blanket into tofu blocks, took his washbasin, tea cup, lunch box, towel, and took out two eggs from the net bag, a pack of white sugar wrapped in oil paper, and a

Bao Mian, walked quietly to the courtyard.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, and then rinse the teacup again.

At this time, it is unlikely to have a special dental cup. Basically, one cup will rule the world, and a dozen will last a lifetime.

Like the cup in Nan Yi's hand, it has red letters written on it: Reward for more than half of the output of the second chemical plant.

He lit a fire, filled the lead pot [although it was called a lead pot, but it was actually made of aluminum] with water, and looked around but couldn't find the steamer, so Nan Yi got a chipped corner of a blue brick from the side and placed it in the pot.

Crack both eggs into the tea cup, open the oil paper bag and pour some sugar into it, stir it evenly with chopsticks, and then add some warm water from the thermos bottle.

Arrange the chopsticks horizontally and vertically on the green bricks, sit the tea cup on it, and close the lid.

After burning eight straw handles, Nan Yi opened the lid of the pot, put the noodles into the pot, stirred them, and when the noodles became soft, took them out and covered the pot again.

Add some warm water to the lunch box, blanch the noodles, add seasonings, pour warm water over, and close the lid of the lunch box.

After adding a straw handle to the fire pit, Nan Yi went to knock on the door of the female educated youth's room.

Knock knock knock!

"Liu Zhen, wake up."

The knock on the door was very soft, and so was the shout.

If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Zhen alone will be awakened.

When you first arrive in a strange place, it is very unlikely that you can fall into deep sleep.

Even if there are such people, they certainly do not include Liu Zhen.

Crunch, "Brother!"

"Hurry up and wash up. I'll make some noodles for you. After you finish eating, I'll teach you how to cut pigweed."

"Um."

After tidying herself up, Liu Zhen walked to Nan Yi and opened the lunch box, "Brother, is this all?"

"You're alone, I'll have breakfast with the others later."

Opening the lid of the pot, he quickly took out the teacup and put it on the stove. He rubbed his hot fingers on his earlobes...

Rinse the lead pot clean, rinse the rice, add water, and cook thick porridge.

They lit the fire and waited for Liu Zhen to finish eating the noodles. Within twenty minutes, Nan Yi put the tongs into the fire pond, hugged the fire, and beat the flames into sparks. He scraped some ashes on the sparks, leaving only a small piece exposed.

The porridge in the pot is already half cooked, and the remaining sparks and heat in the fire pit can simmer the porridge thoroughly.

"Fill a glass of water and bring both teacups with you. You have never done farm work and will get tired soon. If you feel tired, just drink a few sips of the sugar-watered eggs in the teacups."

"Um."

Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to the river in Wenchangwei and walked along the river bank. They missed a section of the pier with a green embankment and soon came to the area of ​​mud dam.

"Look carefully, these dense clumps of grass in the river are revolutionary grass, and those on the edge are water hyacinths. Today I will help you fish them out, but tomorrow you have to pull them to the bank with a rake."

With that said, Nan Yi took off his coat, jumped into the water, and swam along the grass.

I picked up a handful of revolution grass and pulled it hard. Once it was pulled, it turned into a big lump. When it was almost done, I dragged it and swam to the shore.

Repeatedly, pulling it three or five times, he estimated that it was almost done.

We went into the water again and dragged about thirty water hyacinths back to the shore.

"It's enough for a pig to feed it in a pig trough for one meal. Each trough is equipped with one or two water hyacinths. You have to see whether the pig likes to eat it. If it likes it, put more water in it. If it doesn't like it, put less water hyacinth in it.

There must be rice bran and wheat bran in the brigade. Chop the revolutionary grass and mix it with rice bran and water hyacinth. The pigs prefer to eat it.

If you see the pigs have no appetite and eat less, you have to cut that grass..."

Nan Yi pointed to a kind of grass on the river dam and said: "This is called milkvetch, and pigs also like to eat it. There is also sweet potato vine, which pigs also like. But you have to listen to what Uncle Xian tells you to cut that one."

, if you go to cut again, if I didn’t tell you, you shouldn’t go.”

"Um."
Chapter completed!
