Chapter 47 Family and Promise
Su Mu opened his eyes, and the night outside was still dark.
The day before yesterday and last night, he slept here in the army compound.
In order to eliminate Jia Dongxu's suspicion, Su Mu was also worried.
The day before, I made an excuse to go to Niulan Mountain to help out and returned to the compound.
Anyway, except for Su Yingjun who might find out later, this matter will not be spread to other neighbors in the courtyard.
Yesterday I was trading with Jia Dongxu in the grove as usual.
Four hares were brought to him.
Live.
A little rabbit with gray hair and a skinny appearance.
Although the appearance is not good, the price is not cheap.
After moving into the courtyard this time, Su Mu really got to know a little bit about Jia Dongxu's family background.
Su Mu had never entered the Jia family's house. Even if he followed the "sweetener" the first day, He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu happened to be waiting in the yard to greet him and did not enter the house.
Therefore, the furnishings of Jia's house were all described by Li Xiaolan while eating.
But Su Mu had seen the wall clock facing the door with his own eyes.
The wall clocks of the 50s were actually the real three turns and one beep.
It was only replaced by watches in the early 60s.
The Jia family has a turn.
Also has another turn and sound.
There is a sewing machine in Jia's house, which Jia Dongxu bought specially for Qin Huairu.
The essence of what Li Xiaolan described was that Jia Dongxu loved his wife in front of Su Yingjun and bought her a sewing machine.
He also said how good and convenient the Phoenix brand sewing machine is...
The Jia family's house is in the west wing, and the regulations are the same as the east wing here, which is three-bay.
According to the standard, a pile is about 16 square meters, and Jia Dongxu's family also has 50 square meters.
The home is full of furnishings, but it is much more substantial than the Su family.
It's no wonder that Li Xiaolan has a little "comparison mentality".
Moreover, the Jia family's house, like the Su family's, is private property.
From the time Jia and Zhang married into the Jia family, the house belonged to the Jia family.
It's earlier than the Su family's private property.
The Jia family now has at least 72 legs. In addition to bicycles, they also have everything including sewing machines, radios, and wall clocks.
Apart from bicycles, I don’t even own a wall clock.
In the past few days, when Su Mu was eating, his ears were ringing from his sister-in-law's complaints.
The Jia family's living standards and conditions are the best.
Jia Zhang's bloated figure is an obvious example.
Later, I finally understood it when I asked my eldest brother Su Yingjun.
Jia Dongxu is a technical trainee in the steel rolling mill, which is considered to be the middle and lower level of technical positions.
No wonder.
After the first restructuring in 52, wages for technical positions were frighteningly high.
Let's put it this way, the salary of the lowest technical assistant position in Beijing is more than 150 yuan, and the salary of senior technicians starts at 400 yuan.
Later, in 56, the wage system was restructured again and divided into 11 types of areas. Beijing was one of the six types of areas, and the wage system declined slightly.
But even with adjustments, it is still much better than ordinary workers.
After all, the demand for intellectuals and technicians in this era has led to their high salary.
Therefore, the Jia family's wealth is quite strong.
No wonder he dares to digest ten or twenty kilograms of white flour every week.
Su Mu had already underestimated the Jia family very much before, but unexpectedly he still looked away.
It can only be said that in this era, due to the imperfection and imperfection of various systems in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a huge gap in job income, and the gap between the rich and the poor was beyond his imagination.
Really big leeks.
If you don’t cut him, cut someone else.
Today is Mu wants to go back to the courtyard.
He also brought two fat rabbits to his house.
In order to distinguish the difference, the four hares Su Mu gave to Jia Dongxu were all the kind that had been starved for several days in advance and could survive.
As for his two hares, he specially selected the most lively and 'responsible' pair of hares.
Those who are most interested in producing rabbits are called "responsible".
After all, even though the pair of rabbits had not been taken back yet, they had already been assigned specific duties by Li Xiaolan.
The kind where hares beget hares and have endless descendants.
When I went downstairs, I met Xiao Chunsheng.
This child might have been waiting at the door early, waiting for the painting teacher to show up.
"Good morning, Chunsheng."
"Have you moved away? When can I play with you in the future..."
Actually, I want to learn to draw.
"I haven't moved out yet. This way, I'll be there every Tuesday night. If you want, you can come over and play."
"Okay, it's a deal, I'll come find you on Tuesday."
"Okay, waiting for you."
As long as the agreement is made, Su Mu will definitely abide by it.
No matter if the other party is an adult or a child of several years old.
It's like the little fat man really became the commander in the game.
Although the experience was not very good, he continued to become a bandit later...
After riding a tricycle, Su Mu walked out of the army compound.
Before going to the courtyard, he still had a task assigned by his sister-in-law a few days ago.
For residents in the 60s and [-]s, if they want to choose a new home to live in, they must have several tanks at home.
Rice vat, noodle vat, water vat, pickle vat.
The status of the latter is definitely no less than that of the first three.
Even if there is a faucet just a few steps away from the front yard of the courtyard and the east wing.
But water tanks are also essential items in every household.
After Su Yingjun and Li Xiaolan moved there, they had both a rice vat and a noodle vat. The water vat was too small and they wanted to change it to a larger one.
The pickle jar is also lacking.
This matter was left to Su Mu.
Who happened to have a three-wheeled cart?
What a coincidence that it is named in the crane company, and it is a serious cargo operation tricycle.
For people in the capital, they need to stock up on sour cabbage for the winter, and pickles on weekdays are also a must.
And there is no limit to the variety, everything can be pickled.
It's just that ordinary people's lives are not like those in Liubiju's miso garden. The variety of daily pickles is limited. In this special period, it is even more limited.
But even during times of famine, making pickles is related to people's livelihood, and it is an important matter that the government is very concerned about and must pay attention to.
Pickling Chinese cabbage can be done in October and November, which is still far away, but radish, mustard knots, mustard tassels, mustard mustard, and ghost ginger can all be pickled.
When Li Xiaolan came to live in the courtyard, she realized belatedly that besides her own house, other houses had pickle jars, and some families had several.
The young couple cannot afford to buy pickles every day to live their lives.
It also needs to be marinated.
And although Li Xiaolan has no experience at all, she is very ambitious, and there are three pickle jars in her mouth.
In addition to at least two water tanks, Su Mu will buy five large tanks to bring back on this trip.
Ganjiakou shopping mall.
It's the nearest Big Mac mall after coming out of the army compound.
If you talk about shopping in shopping malls, the first thing that ordinary people think of may be department stores and Wangfujing in here in Xicheng District, the shopping mall is Ganjiakou Shopping Mall.
A two-story building complex, surrounded by a shopping mall, there are also a grocery store, Jiangfeng Fish Store, bookstores, hardware stores, etc.
This is where Su Mu dropped by.
