Siheyuan: I have a small world

"Brother Zhuzhu, my health is fine. I will go back to the factory to work tomorrow. Do you think you can do this without me?"

Wang Yu replied, and then discussed in a low voice with Silly Zhu.

After a while, the heads of more than 20 households in the courtyard came to have a meeting.

Forty or fifty people suddenly gathered in the middle courtyard.

Seeing that all the heads of households in the courtyard had arrived, Grand Master Yi Zhonghai stood up and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

Now is not the time for the plot of the Siheyuan to unfold. The first man is fair in doing things and has a high prestige. Even if he sometimes seems to be a bit of a moral bitch, he is generally very popular and convincing.

Therefore, after the uncle signaled everyone to be quiet, the dozens of people present immediately fell silent. Even if there were children, their mouths were covered by the adults to prevent them from speaking.

"Ahem, let me tell you something. Regarding buying food, Lao Zhou heard the news in the backyard. There is a new black market in Jiaodaokou Hutong where you can buy food. Everyone knows that food is not easy to get now and the family does not have enough to eat. .

Therefore, the opportunity is rare, so we must organize people to buy food together as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we delay for a long time, all the food will be sold out.

There are at least ten people going to buy food this time. The others are waiting for news in the courtyard. However, the price of food is a bit high. It is not as high as the 25 cents per catty bought at the grain store. It has increased many times, at least 2.5 yuan per catty. Those who need it should sign up now. Go to buy food at 11:30 pm. No one will be waiting after you are late. "

Wow!

No one expected that the old man held a meeting because of buying food. Although the price was many times higher, it was good to have something to eat. Who would care about the high price?

Suddenly everyone got excited and said all kinds of things. In short, they signed up enthusiastically.

Because the food on the black market will be snapped up quickly once the news breaks out!

clap clap clap!

"Everyone, please be quiet. Do you want everyone in the courtyard to know when you shout so loudly? Especially you, Yu Fei, who has the loudest voice. This is not a forging workshop. There is no noise. You don't need to shout loudly. Everyone can hear it."

The first man pointed at a 1.9-meter strong man in the crowd and cursed with an angry smile.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter. The loudest one, Yu Fei, was a resident of the backyard. He was in the forging workshop of the steel rolling mill. The noise in the workshop made him accustomed to shouting loudly.

Now that the uncle said this and the people around him laughed, he immediately blushed and was dragged to sit down by his mother-in-law.

After everyone finished laughing, the discussion volume became quieter.

Now is a special period for dead Taoists and immortal Taoists. People in other courtyards must not let people in other courtyards know that there are channels to buy food. Otherwise, the food will be bought out and the people in their courtyards will starve.

In the end, it was decided that the team would be led by Mr. Yi and Mr. Zhou from the backyard.

Divided into three groups, the second uncle from the backyard took his eldest son Liu Guangqi and four other people from the backyard, Yu Fei, Liu Tiezhu, and Wu Dahai, that is, Xu Damao went to the countryside to show a movie, otherwise he would definitely be a part of it tonight.

Five people, Wang Yu from the Intermediate Court, his father Wang Bao, Sha Zhu, and Zhang Jianguo who lived next door to the first uncle.

The three uncles from the front yard stayed in the yard to take care of them, together with five people from the front yard: Kong Xuan, Yang Jun, Xu Youwei, Zhu Jianshe, and Han Jing.

A total of fifteen people went to buy food.

Every family took out the money from the bottom box. In these famine years, the more food, the better. If you have too much money and can't buy food, it's just a waste of paper.

Wang Yu's family took out three hundred yuan. If the black market price was multiplied tenfold to two yuan and a half per catty, they could buy at least more than one hundred catties of food. This was probably the maximum amount that could be bought.

Other families may not be as rich as Lao Wang’s!

It seems that the Wang family is well-off. In recent days, he heard his mother Chen Chunhua mention that the hospitalization and the purchase of nutritional supplements and food on the black market have cost nearly two hundred yuan. The medical expenses are not expensive, and since he is a worker, they can be reimbursed. It's just that the food is expensive and can't be bought.

I can easily come up with three hundred dollars now!

All I can say is that it’s amazing!

After the discussion, everyone dispersed.

Next, I have to get some rest and sleep, and I have to get up at 11:30 in the evening to buy food.

The same goes for Wang Yu. This is his first time going to the black market since he passed away, and he is very interested.

……

"Xiaoyu, wake up, it's time to go to the black market to exchange for food."

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Wang Yu was sleeping deeply when he suddenly felt his father, Wang Bao, calling him. When he heard that he was going to the black market, Wang Yu woke up instantly and rubbed his eyes. The room was dimly lit.

"Dad, I'll get up right now."

Wang Yu put on his sweatshirt, climbed up and put on his shoes, and followed his father Wang Bao to the courtyard to gather.

At this time, the man in the courtyard was already counting the number of people.

After a while, everyone gathered together.

"Don't make any noise on the road, everyone just follow me."

The first man didn't waste any words. He took a flashlight and led Lao Zhou out of the compound.

Chapter 4: Black market experiences, unexpected surprises from another world!

A group of more than a dozen people shuttled through the alleyways with only one man and a flashlight.

They must avoid the main road, because there must be patrols patrolling the road.

We walked like this for more than half an hour.

They came to an alleyway, which was the newly opened black market at Jiaodaokou.

At this time, the black market was already very lively and full of people.

They are probably all here to buy food.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to buy food quickly. If they went late, they would be gone.

It's still a big man who suppresses it.

Uncle Zhou was asked to pay a penny to the guard and go in to inquire about the information.

After a while, Uncle Zhou came out and took everyone around to an abandoned courtyard deep in an alley next to the alley.

It turns out that no food was sold in the alleyway just now, but other things were sold.

Although the food issue has spread, it is mostly spread among acquaintances. Most people actually don't know the situation yet, and it is estimated that it will take a day or two for the news to spread.

Moreover, when buying grain, you must be introduced by someone familiar with it. Otherwise, no matter how much grain you have, you will not be able to resist making it this way.

Furthermore, the place where food is sold is divided into several locations to prevent people from trying everything at once.

Uncle Zhou brought them to one of the places selling grain.

Uncle Zhou just entered the alleyway to find someone to inquire about.

After arriving at this abandoned courtyard house.

I happened to encounter a group of seven people walking in the other direction. Judging from the bags on their backs, they probably contained food.

This made everyone in the courtyard look excited.

Uncle Zhou asked everyone to hide around, and then he and the uncle walked into the abandoned courtyard alone.

Goo goo goo!

Uncle Zhou imitated the sound of pigeons calling and sent out secret signals.

This was the secret code for the connection that the person he was looking for just told him.

Otherwise no one would even pay attention to them.

Suddenly, a flashlight light shone on the innermost wall of the abandoned courtyard.

Uncle Zhou and the first uncle who were photographed blocked the light with their hands.

"Lao Yi, give me the flashlight."

As if remembering something, Uncle Zhou whispered to the first uncle.

"Okay." The elder directly handed the flashlight to him.

Uncle Zhou took the flashlight from the first uncle's hand, shook it in the direction of the light, and then turned the flashlight on and off three times in a row to read the code.

"Walk."

After finishing it, the flashlight over there went out, and then he turned back and said to the uncle.

As for Wang Yu and the others, they are still hiding nearby so as not to be exposed.

Wang Yu looked at this scene and felt secretly happy. Why don't we just buy some food? It's like an underground party joint!

However, just as Uncle Zhou flashed his flashlight a few times, he saw that a small door opened on the innermost wall of the courtyard, and a man emerged after checking the code.

The place where the man appeared is usually covered with old wooden boards. If you don't walk in carefully, you might not notice it.

At this time, the man called Uncle Zhou over.

As Uncle Zhou and First Master walked away, he could no longer hear what they specifically said.

Just a moment later, after Uncle Zhou finished negotiating with the other party, the other party moved the wooden board and opened the small door to let them in.

Waited a few more minutes.

The uncle walked out alone, carrying a bag of grain weighing dozens of kilograms.

He came over and whispered to Wang Yu and the others.

"You can go in, don't talk, just go in and carry the grain. There are twenty bags in total, each bag is this thirty-pound bag. Go quickly, I'm waiting for you here."

"Okay!" The big guy responded softly after hearing this.

Then they filed in through the small door, only to find that there was another cave inside.

This is also an abandoned courtyard, in ruins, but there are trees around it, so a clearing has been cleared in the courtyard, and a large tent has been set up in the clearing.

"Come here, each of you carries a bag, don't play tricks."

With that said, the person who had just been negotiating with Uncle Zhou turned on his flashlight and shined a light on a pistol in his hand. Wang Yu and the others were shocked. They quickly walked to a tent, grabbed a thirty kilogram grain bag and turned around. Walk.

When it came to Wang Yu, he lowered his head and scanned the tent and found that there must be at least hundreds of bags inside!

Good guy, there are several thousand kilograms of grain. The key is that this is just one of the places where grain is sold. There are several other places.

I don’t know where this group of people came from. They are quite capable!

After a while, everyone walked out of the alley carrying at least one bag of grain.

People like Wang Yu and his son, Yu Fei, Sha Zhu, Liu Tiezhu, the second uncle and others are all very strong. They are not tired even if they carry a grain bag of one to two hundred kilograms, let alone thirty kilograms.

What's more, everyone will take turns to help.

It took an hour to return to the courtyard.

Next, I won't care about their affairs, because they have to go to work tomorrow, which is strenuous work, and they need to rest well.

The rest of the food distribution is done by the wives of each family.

Wang Yu's mother, Chen Chunhua, took over after the two men came back.

……

Silent all night.

At around seven o'clock the next day, Wang Yu was woken up by his third son for dinner.

After eating, they have to rush to the factory to work before eight o'clock.

Wang Yu's health has recovered. From today on, he has to follow his father to work in the welding workshop of the steel rolling mill.

As for food, their family shared twenty-four kilograms last night.

When buying grain last night, you can only buy up to 600 kilograms. There is an upper limit.

Their family has an urban household registration, and their monthly ration is only 123 catties. This is the total ration after repeated reductions. Before the reduction, their family's ration was 158 catties!

Twenty-four kilograms is already the monthly quota for a worker after the current quota reduction, which is not a small amount.

7:53, outside the steel rolling mill.

The workers of the steel rolling mill are like a trickle, walking towards the steel rolling mill from all directions.

Wang Yu walked to the steel rolling mill chatting and laughing with his father, the elder in the courtyard, and others.

Arrive at post before eight o'clock.

After greeting all the workers, the day's heavy work began.

Wang Yu had seen welding in his previous life, but had never been exposed to it.
