Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 32, Little Wild Boar
Although Zhao Mancang will definitely remarry, he will definitely choose a city woman, not a rural woman.

why?
After being in this world for so long, he also knows some things.

Many rural girls hope to marry into the city and eat commercial grain, rather than stay in the countryside and have no food to eat.

In recent times, when Zhao Mancang came to Huaishuling, Liu Changge prepared good wine and food to entertain him, but this does not mean that the other members of the production team lived so well.

Even Zhao Mancang, a city dweller, couldn't prepare such rich meals every now and then, let alone the Huaishuling Production Team?
As we all know, city dwellers eat commercial grain and have a fixed quota every month.

In rural areas, grain was distributed among production teams. Even though the Huaishuling Production Team was helping the capital grow vegetables, they still received commercial grain every month like the city dwellers.

But this share is only half of that of city dwellers.

In the 50s, the monthly food standard for each person in Beijing was divided into four categories. The first category was those who did special heavy manual labor, who received 60 to 55 kilograms, and the average amount should not exceed kilograms.

The second category is those who do heavy manual labor, weighing 40 to 49 kilograms, and the average should not exceed 44 kilograms.

The third category is those who do light manual labor, weighing 29 to 39 kilograms, and the average weight should not exceed 35 kilograms.

The last category is staff members of institutions and organizations, employees of public and private enterprises, shop assistants and other mental workers, who weigh 27 to 32 kilograms, and the average should not exceed 31 kilograms.

The Huaishuling Production Team, which serves as the vegetable supply base for Beijing, produces half the average amount of vegetables per month for light manual laborers, which is about 17.5 kilograms.

This number is only three or four kilograms more than that of an average production team.

Of course, in some production teams, each person was only allocated six or seven kilograms of food per month, which was indeed very extreme.

This kind of rural area where people only had six or seven kilograms of grain per month was extremely common in the years after 1959.

Food, or survival, is the reason why Liu Baochan wants to get close to Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang is already twenty-four years old, but not very old. Although he is divorced, he is definitely a good man.

He was a fifth-level breeder, earning fifty-four yuan and ten cents a month.

This salary level alone is enough to give him the right of priority in choosing a spouse.

On the contrary, Zhao Mancang's height and appearance were not Liu Baochan's main considerations at all.

She wanted to get close to Zhao Mancang, and even wanted to make it a fait accompli.

However, Zhao Mancang did not give her any chance at all.

There are so many single girls in the city, why would you want to find a girl from the countryside?

As a person who is determined to lie low and let things get worse, Zhao Mancang hates trouble very much, and finding a rural wife will definitely bring endless troubles in the future.

If the daughter-in-law is a rural girl, then she must live in the city after marriage. Without a city household registration, there is no way to apply for a food grain book.

This means that Zhao Mancang's food, which was originally for him to eat by himself, now has to be shared by two people.

And after having a child, the child's household registration follows the mother's and also does not have a food grain book, which is even more miserable.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang would definitely not marry a rural girl.

As for the fact that Liu Baochan is beautiful, beauty cannot be used to make a living. For Zhao Mancang, who longs to lie down and let things go, he will avoid her as much as possible to reduce trouble.

If you can't even control your lower body, what's the point of lying down?

One night without words, the next day passed in a blink of an eye.

When he was about to leave Huaishuling Production Team, Zhao Mancang saw Liu Baochan standing in the crowd with a resentful look on her face.

He just glanced at her briefly and then looked away, with no emotion in his heart.

Liu Changge had prepared quite a few gifts, including a small wild boar they'd caught the afternoon before yesterday, weighing about 40 pounds and still alive, howling. This was the reward from the Huaishuling Production Team, who had been setting traps in the mountains for several days straight to prepare it.

If a small wild boar weighing more than 40 kilograms was dead, Zhao Mancang could just tie it to the back seat of a bicycle.

But it was alive, so Liu Changge and his team drove a ox cart to send it to the steel plant.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the gate of the steel plant. Xiao Shutie was stretching because he was still sleepy.

Last night, on a whim, his wife and I decided to experience being a student. We were exhausted after doing fill-in-the-blank exercises for half an hour.

Until now, I am still very tired.

As a result, a shrill pig cry came from afar, which came closer and drove away his sleepiness.

"Full warehouse?"

There was a bicycle in front and a bullock cart behind. Seeing this scene, Xiao Shutie couldn't help but think of what happened recently, so he immediately went to meet them.

"Mancang, why are you here so early for work? Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. You're early too. This is Team Leader Liu from the Huaishuling Production Team."

Zhao Mancang smiled and briefly explained the situation, and Xiao Shutie waved his hand and let them in.

After they went in, Xiao Shutie sighed: Zhao Mancang made a lot of money this time. I wonder how his veterinary skills suddenly became so amazing?
In the breeding room, Liu Changge had just put the little wild boar down when he looked at the pig house, cattle pen, horse trough, etc. inside with deep emotion and envy.

The breeding room of the steel plant is quite large.

This is mainly because the steel plant is very large, and the pigs raised in the breeding room are only taken out for emergency or New Year's Day to be slaughtered for meat.

Normally, we can only rely on buyers like Jiang Dayong to purchase mountain products.

It was at this time that Wu Huamin, Xu Fugui, Peng Sixi and others also came to the breeding room one after another.

After all, it’s almost time to go to work, and the workers in the breeding room usually get to work relatively early.

"Director, this is Captain Liu, Captain Liu, this is Director Wu from our breeding room."

Seeing Wu Huamin coming, Zhao Mancang quickly introduced them to each other.

Wu Huamin was immediately overjoyed, especially when he was greeting Liu Changge and learned that the latter had sent a little wild boar, the smile on his face became even wider.

In the pigsty, the little wild boar hid in the corner vigilantly and did not move.

Just like this, isn’t it a delicious roast pig?
It’s so suitable!

It's not worth it to just cure someone's ox and ask for a wild boar.

However, Liu Changge was very grateful and thankful.

Because the ox was not an old ox, but a young cow that could give birth to calves. Saving it was a great thing for the production team.

After seeing Liu Changge off, Wu Huamin looked at Zhao Mancang with a smile:
"Mancang, you did a great job this time. I'll discuss this with Director Dong later. Don't worry, the credit should go to you, and it's definitely yours."

The latter was of course relieved. After all, this matter was very public and Wu Huamin did not dare to go too far.

The morning work was very boring until a loud noise came from the workshop and the entire steel plant was stunned.

"What happened?"
