Chapter 587: There is an impact, but it is not a big problem

Of course, if you don’t have a city hukou, the people in the street office will not force you to go back to your hometown in the countryside. They will only suggest and call on you to return to your hometown to build the motherland. If you really don’t want to go back, there is nothing you can do.

Just like Jia Zhang, her son has a formal job in a steel mill, so it is unlikely that the family will starve to death.

The blacksmiths in the steel rolling mill are ordinary workers and belong to a technical occupation. Their monthly quota is higher than that of ordinary manual laborers but lower than that of heavy manual laborers, which is about 40 kilograms.

Forty kilograms is a bit tight for a family.

Moreover, this quota is still fluctuating. During the most difficult years, it was good enough if 80% of the quota could be distributed.

In theory, the residents of Courtyard No. 95 basically would not go hungry, with the Jia family being the only exception. If their ration was not enough, they could buy negotiated grain, which was much more expensive.

As a result, the pigeon market and the black market gradually emerged.

Basically everyone in the courtyard knew that Jia Zhang came back cursing. She cursed in the yard for half an hour before returning to her room, and the content of her curse was still the same old thing.

People in the courtyard were used to it and just treated it as fun.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui gathered together, whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were discussing.

"Director Wang, why are you here?"

Xu Damao, who was standing next to Liu Haizhong, suddenly shouted, then pointed at the middle courtyard and shouted, "Are you here to arrest Jia Zhang? She is cursing in the middle courtyard."

Xu Damao thought that Director Wang had found out about Jia Zhang's scolding of the street, and he looked like he wanted to lead Director Wang.

"Swearing? I'm here to look for Chen Jun. Is he at home?" When Director Wang heard that Jia Zhang was swearing, she raised her eyebrows fiercely, but she was not here to look for Jia Zhang today.

There is a pig farm down the street, with more than a dozen pigs still waiting to be sold. The farmers are worried that the policy will affect sales and want to sell the pigs as soon as possible.

But who would dare to ask for so many at once? We could only ask for help from the street office, and ask them to think of a way to sell the pigs without making any mistakes.

Director Wang first thought of Chen Jun, who was the canteen director at the steel rolling mill.

"Oh, looking for Chen Jun!" Lieutenant General Liu Hai pushed Xu Damao aside, straightened his clothes and walked to Director Wang. He thought for a moment and said, "The steel mill is closed today. I saw Chen Jun carrying a fishing rod and going out this morning. He must have gone fishing in Houhai."

"He definitely didn't go to Houhai. He must have gone to the moat."

The third uncle Yan Bugui added that he is a senior angler and knows more than Liu Haizhong. After July, Houhai is no longer suitable for fishing, especially on weekends. Houhai must be crowded with anglers. Those who know more about fishing have now moved to the moat, which is not only spacious but also cooler.

"Director Wang, do you need me to go to the moat and bring Chen Jun back?" Liu Haizhong asked Director Wang with a smile.

Director Wang is his immediate superior, so Liu Haizhong subconsciously wants to curry his favor, especially in the past two days. Liu Haizhong smells something different and feels that the power in the hands of the manager is going to grow.

It will definitely do no harm to leave Director Wang with an impression of being down-to-earth and hardworking.

Director Wang shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll come back in the evening or tomorrow morning."

There was no rush to collect the pigs, so Director Wang did not ask Liu Haizhong to go find anyone.

"Okay, OK." Liu Haizhong responded, then lowered his voice and asked, "Director Wang, we have figured out the food vouchers, but how do we get those living vouchers? Will they also be distributed directly by the subdistrict office?"

After all, the planned economy is a huge national project. It takes time to progress step by step. There has been no specific notification about living tickets, but the news has come out from the supply and marketing cooperatives that in the future, buying things will require not only money but also tickets.

You need cloth coupons to buy cloth, and you need living coupons to buy daily necessities.

These are relatively easy. It is said that it has become harder to buy big items, such as sewing machines and bicycles. The tickets required to buy these items seem to be different from living tickets.

"The street office will notify you, so don't worry." Director Wang gave a brief instruction and left the courtyard.

After Director Wang left, Liu Haizhong sighed and said with some emotion: "You two are lucky to have bought bicycles so early. Now I can't even buy a bicycle if I want to."

Do you want to buy a bicycle too?

Xu Damao glanced at Liu Haizhong and said nothing. He had never heard Liu Haizhong mention buying a bicycle from beginning to end. Yi Zhonghai had mentioned it before, but because the child was too young, there was no rush to buy it.

Now, Yi Zhonghai can’t buy a bicycle even if he has money.

"Xu Damao, what are you looking at?" Liu Haizhong felt offended and frowned immediately.

Xu Damao was so smart that he quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh, I feel sorry for you. If you had bought a bicycle in advance, we could have ridden to work together!"

......

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Jun came back on his bicycle with Lin Yao on the back seat. The little girl was holding a candied haws in her hand and was eating it happily.

As soon as he entered the yard, the second uncle Liu Haizhong who had been waiting there came up to him. In order to complete Director Wang's task, he had been waiting in the yard for several hours.

"Chen Jun, you're finally back. You can catch fish in such a hot day... Oh my god, there's a big turtle!"

When Liu Haizhong got closer, he found that there was a big turtle tied to the handlebar with a rope. It must have weighed at least five or six pounds. In addition to the turtle, there were also two big fat fish.

Wow, every time Chen Jun goes fishing, he always brings back big fish.

In the past, big fatty fish may not have been as popular as pork, mutton, and spareribs, but now with the implementation of the new regulations, fish has also become a treasure.

Because this thing can be fished in the river and is not subject to management.

From now on, you will need tickets to buy pork and mutton, and they will be in fixed quantities.

Regular workers in a steel rolling mill can get a monthly quota of about 300 to 400 grams, which is just a small piece and is far less tempting than a big fat fish.

So it seems that quantitative factors do have an impact on Chen Jun, but not a big one.

First of all, he is very good at fishing and he can always bring back a few big fish every time. He is a recognized fishing expert in the courtyard. When the family’s ration is used up, he can go fishing in the river.

If you can’t finish the fish, you can exchange it with others!

Besides, Chen Jun is the director of the canteen. If anyone else is short of food, their family will not be short of food either.

"I was lucky. I caught two big turtles and gave the other one to a friend." Chen Jun replied casually.

He was going fishing today at the invitation of Old Liu, but Old Liu sat in the moat for several hours without catching any fish. In the end, he angrily snatched a turtle from him and took it home.
