A bit of lard is scratched, which shows how scarce the current supplies are.
Of course, it is not that Qin Jiazheng is this poor, but that people of this era are used to living a hard life, and frugality and budgeting are the mainstream of society.
And there is another problem. In the 1970s, we were still in the era of planned economy, and it was not possible to buy things with money.
You need food stamps to buy rice, and cloth stamps to buy cloth. However, all supplies needed for daily life are in limited supply.
However, fortunately in 1977, the overall environment has relaxed somewhat. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to buy one.
“You still have to make money”
After a silent night, Qin Hao was woken up by his mother early in the morning.
"Today is Sunday. You stay at home and take good care of your sister. If you dare to go out to play in the water again, see if I don't break your legs."
After breakfast , Wu Guihua warned before going out.
In 1977, the mainland still adopted the single-day holiday system, and the double-day holiday system was not implemented until 1995.
Qin Hao asked reluctantly, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"Lao Li from the street office is having a wedding at his house. I will help with the banquet and bring you delicious food later." Yes, stay at home and don't bully your sister." Wu Guihua warned her a few words uneasily, then got on her bicycle and left.
"Goodbye, mom." The little girl immediately beamed when she heard that there was something delicious.
Qin Hao had a headache. He even planned to go out and see if there was any way to make money, but he ended up being stuck in such a trap.
"Xiaolan, brother is going out for a trip, how about you just stay at home?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Qin Xianglan stopped, pouting and crossing her two chubby little hands. Put it in the creaking nest and hum.
"Mom just told you to stay at home, but you didn't obey."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes. This little guy has learned to use adults to suppress him. She is so fleshy. pinched his little cheek.
"Brother, something is really wrong. Otherwise, I will come back and bring you delicious food, okay."
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No Okay, Mom said, she will bring me some delicious food, and you can play with me.”
Well, this little guy is quite greedy and can’t part with anything delicious or fun.
Qin Hao could only continue to coax, "Look, you can play anytime, but delicious food is not available every day. What mom brought you will be eaten in one day. If you want to eat more, you can eat it." It’s not that easy anymore.”
The little girl subconsciously put her fingers in her mouth, as if this would help her think. After thinking for a while, she finally couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food.
"Well, okay, but I want to eat mung bean cake."
Qin Hao saw the little girl's attitude that if you don't buy it for me, I won't let you go out, I was angry and funny, but in the end I had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll just buy it for you."
p>"Pull the hook"
Facing the little girl's delicate little finger, Qin Hao had no choice but to pull the hook and seal it with her.
After thinking about it, Qin Hao still felt that it was not safe for the little girl to be alone at home, so he took her to Qiao's house next door.
"Brother, don't buy it today. Mom will bring delicious food today. You can buy it for me when I want to eat it someday."
Okay, this little The girl is really naughty, and she also knows how to save her belly.
When he arrived at the door of Qiao's house, Qin Hao heard the noisy playing of several little guys inside.
Knocking on the courtyard door, not long after, a little head popped out, it was Qiao Erqiang.
"Brother Hao, Xiaolan, why are you here?"
Qin Hao followed into the yard and found Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei playing with each other around the table. A boy about the same age as Qin Hao was busy doing homework. He should be Qiao Yicheng.
"Xiaohao, Xiaolan, you are here." Wei Shuying, with her big belly, still looked kind and gentle, her smiling face exuding a dazzling maternal brilliance under the early morning sun.
Qiao Yicheng, who was doing his homework, just looked up at Qin Hao and then continued to do his homework. Qin Xianglan, the little girl, couldn't sit still when she entered the yard, and started playing with the two sisters Qiao Sanli. .
"Aunt Wei, my mother has gone out to help at the banquet. Can you let Xiaolan stay at your house for a while?"
Wei Shuying was about to speak when she heard a voice of disgust coming from the back room. sound.
“You can have fun at our house, but we don’t care about eating.”
“Your mother is so calculating. She goes out to eat and drink hot food by herself, leaving the child Bring it to our house for dinner."
Qiao Wangzu came out wearing a coat, a fan in his hand, and slippers on his feet.
When Wei Shuying saw this, she quickly said to Qiao Wangzu, "Oh, how much food such an old child can eat belongs to the neighbors."
"Shut up, please. I'm talking about the food at home." Why is the money always not enough? You are a prodigal woman. With so many children at home, how can you have food to help others?" Qiao Zuwang glared at Wei Shuying fiercely, showing no mercy to Wei Shuying in front of the four children.
Qiao Simei was so frightened that she cried, Qiao Sanli also had tears in her eyes, and Qiao Erqiang stood there at a loss, not daring to move.
Wei Shuying could only bend down to coax Qiao Simei.
Qin Hao stared at Qiao Wangzu deeply for a while, then took Qin Xianglan's hand and said to Wei Shuying.
"Aunt Wei, since it's inconvenient, I won't bother you."
Wei Shuying was about to call Qin Hao back when Qiao Zuwang stopped her with a stern voice: "Stand over there." ."
"Oh, what are you doing? We are all neighbors. We can't see each other even when we look up. They also take care of our children," Wei Shuying complained softly.
Qiao Zuwang snorted coldly, "That's not because you didn't take good care of the children., you don’t go to work, and you can’t even take care of your children at home. ”
“Besides, didn’t you see that boy staring at me with his eyes? He has no rules at all. Huh, this is an uneducated guy whose father died early. Let the children not mix with their family in the future.” Come together to avoid being led astray. "
Wei Shuying looked at her husband's back, sighed helplessly, rubbed her increasingly bloated belly, her eyes were a little dim.
On the other side, Qin Xianglan was being held by Qin Hao After leaving Qiao's yard, she pouted and said, "Huh, Simei's father is really annoying. He even ate roast duck at our house."
Qin Hao scratched the little girl's nose, smiled and cursed, "Then why didn't you say it in front of him just now? It's not a good habit to talk about people behind their backs." "
The little girl wrinkled her nose, "Simei said, her father is very fierce, we can't beat him. ”
Well, I didn’t expect that this little girl was quite aware of current affairs. Qin Hao was amused by her.
Walking to the street, the little girl suddenly remembered something and pulled Qin Hao Hao’s hand.
“Brother, don’t forget the mung bean cake you promised me. ”
Qin Hao pinched her chubby little face lovingly, “I can’t forget it, I’ll buy it for you soon.” ”
“Hehe. "The little girl was happy and let Qin Hao hold her hand and shuttle through the crowd.
There are many ways to make money, but considering the overall environment in the mainland in the 1970s, most of them were not suitable. .
In 1977, there was no concept of private enterprise. Even those selling snacks on the roadside were state-owned. All private trading activities could be defined as speculation.
Qin Hao walked around the street and found some roadside stalls. However, from time to time, law enforcement officers wearing red hoops came to check. These roadside stalls ran away, and their posture was much worse than later. The urban management officials were much more ruthless in pursuing the small traders.
After going around for a while, Qin Hao basically gave up on the idea of making money by buying and selling. Not only was the profit low, but the cost of breaking the law was high, and more importantly, he had no capital. .
Start-up capital is also a big problem
"Brother, where are we going?" The little girl was still young after all, so she followed Qin Hao with her short legs. , finally too tired to walk.
Qin Hao could only let her rest for a while, standing on the stone bridge, looking at the river, Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.
He picked up the little girl and rushed home. At first, the little girl was a little scared, but gradually she got excited and lay on Qin Hao's back, stretching out a chubby little paw and scratching in the air.
" Go ahead and overthrow Japanese imperialism."
Well, this is using him as a horse to ride on.
After returning home, Qin Hao found a pair of bamboo fishing rods. It was used by the original owner's dad for fun on weekends.
"Brother, are you going fishing?" The little girl asked curiously when she saw Qin Hao sorting out his fishing gear.
Qin Hao smiled at her. He smiled, "Brother, I'll catch a big carp for you, okay?"
"Okay. ”
As long as food is mentioned, the little girl can’t help but swallow her saliva. It’s not that she is greedy, it’s mainly because in the era of poverty, she can’t wait to eat anything. Put it in your mouth.
“But mom said she won’t let you go to the river. "
Just when Qin Hao was about to go out, the little girl suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Qin Hao scratched her nose, "Then do you still want to go out?" Eating a big carp"
"I think. "
"If you think about it, don't talk nonsense, and don't tell our mother, otherwise if my legs are broken, you won't be able to eat big carp in the future. ”
The little girl still liked this, and immediately covered her mouth, with a look like she wouldn’t say anything even if she beat her to death.
After sorting out the nets, fishing gear, etc. , Qin Hao did not forget to bring a few sweet potatoes from the kitchen.
There are definitely no big fish in the rivers in the city, and domestic sewage is also a problem. More importantly, fishing in the city is easy to get caught. Everything is public these days, so it would be troublesome if you meet those wearing red hoops.
It is better to go outside the city. Not only the chance of catching big fish is high, but the chance of water pollution is also high. Low.
The only inconvenience is that it is a bit far, and it takes too much time to go back and forth. It is better to bring some sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger.
Fortunately, Qin. The area where Hao lived was just on the edge of the city. He was carrying the little girl on his back and speeding all the way. After half an hour, the surrounding houses became sparse and the grass on the road became thicker.
Jinling is a land of plenty. , there are many waterways, and Qin Hao quickly found the river.
Following the river and reaching an area where the water flow was not so fast, Qin Hao put down his fishing gear and started looking for fishing spots.
Seeing Qin Hao digging for earthworms on the ground, the little girl also worked diligently to help. As long as it was related to eating, she was very active.
Don’t mention it, the little girl looked chubby. , He worked very quickly and helped Qin Hao catch several earthworms.
Qin Hao hung the earthworms on the fishhook and began to draw the rod into the river frequently.
The little girl. Seeing that Qin Hao couldn't catch any fish one after another, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and asked with a pout.
"Brother, do you know how to fish?" ”
Qin Hao rubbed her little head and laughed and scolded, “Don’t eat it if I catch it later.” "
The little girl just stopped and sat aside obediently, holding her chin in her hands, looking eagerly at the river, praying in her heart.
"Fish, fish, hurry up. Click the hook and let me eat you. ”
While Qin Hao was pulling the rod, a chubby middle-aged man also came to the fishing spot carrying fishing gear. Seeing Qin Hao, a half-year-old man, and bringing a little girl to fish, it seemed that he was fishing.
"Hey, how old are you? Why don't you go to school and come here to mess with your adults?"
Qin Hao just rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, and continued to smoke. , feel the direction of the underwater fish
Because.There is no nest material or float. Qin Hao can only use the fishing rod in his hand to sense whether there are fish in the water. In the process of drawing the rod, he has changed several places.
The middle-aged fat man was not angry when he saw Qin Hao ignoring him. He smiled and took out the fishing rod and attached the float. After loading the bait, he threw it into the river and waited quietly. There.
Seemingly seeing that Qin Hao had been fishing for a long time without catching any fish, the middle-aged fat man said to Qin Hao like a master.
"Fishing is the most test of your character. You must not be impatient. You have to be calm."
However, before he could finish his words, Qin Hao suddenly raised the fish. The fishing rod tightened instantly, and something seemed to be tug-of-war with Qin Hao under the water.
Seeing that Qin Hao finally caught a fish, the little girl was so excited that she took a selfie and said, "Brother is so awesome, oh, I can eat a big carp tonight."
The middle-aged fat man licked I licked my lips and thought, "Hey, little fish, it's just a little fish, let it go to him."
However, half a minute later, when Qin Hao used the fishing net to fish ashore, the middle-aged fat man’s face was no longer so calm.
It was a grass carp of more than 30 centimeters, not too big, but about two kilograms. The grass carp had just landed, and it seemed that it was unwilling to become a delicious meal for humans. It jumped high on the shore. The vitality is very tenacious.
But Qin Hao quickly grabbed the fish by its gills and threw it into an iron bucket that was already half filled with water.
"Uncle, what did you just say?"
Feeling proud, Qin Hao did not forget to retaliate.
The middle-aged fat man looked a little embarrassed and hummed in his heart. What's so great about it? It's just a little grass carp. Let's see how I perform later.
However, in the next few hours, something happened that made the middle-aged fat man’s mentality explode.
Qin Hao's side was catching one fish after another. In just half a day, he caught more than a dozen fish, and they were all big fish weighing more than one kilogram. Like a ghost, no matter how he adjusted his direction, he didn't catch any fish.
Seeing that Qin Hao’s tin bucket could no longer hold it, and his side was still the “Air Force”, the middle-aged fat man couldn’t help but secretly cursed his bad luck.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Hao suddenly stopped playing. The middle-aged fat man was stunned when he saw this.
"Little brother, I won't go fishing so early."
Qin Hao looked at the sun and said, "Well, I have to go back. My family won't let me fish too late."
The middle-aged fat man was overjoyed and thought that when Qin Hao left, he would take over his "throne fishing spot".
However, Qin Hao collected the things but refused to leave.
"What's wrong, this is little brother"
