"That's true! Of course I had some ideas."
"That's actually a good idea."
"However, this method is rather time-consuming."
"But wouldn't it be a waste of time if I couldn't remember?"
That's right.
"Wow, the food here is so cheap!"
"That's really true."
I saw that white steamed buns were three cents each, twisted rolls were five cents each, a serving of porridge was two cents, pickled vegetables were free, a meat bun was five cents each, rice was four cents a serving, a serving of pure braised pork was only fifteen cents, and a serving of vegetables was five cents, and so on.
It can be said that it is not expensive at all. Putting aside other things, just in terms of grain, the state supplies grain (30 catties per month, 21 catties of fine grain and 9 catties of coarse grain), oilseeds (1.5 catties per month), non-staple food, fuel, etc. according to the standard of urban non-agricultural households. Any shortfall is purchased at market prices, and the prices are set by the state.
Furthermore, university tuition is now free, and living allowances are divided into four tiers: Tier 1 for rural students is 15 yuan/month (married students with children and special financial difficulties receive an additional 5 yuan/month); Tier 2 for families with a monthly per capita income of 10 yuan is 12 yuan/month; Tier 3 for families with a monthly per capita income of 20 yuan is 8 yuan/month; Tier 4 for families with a monthly per capita income of 30 yuan is 5 yuan/month; and families with a monthly per capita income of 40 yuan receive no living allowance. At that time, the standard for impoverished urban families was a monthly per capita income of 8 yuan. Free hot water and free public showers were also provided.
Getting a job after graduation is something that 21st-century college graduates greatly envy.
However, I am not eligible for this subsidy. Although my parents have passed away, my third brother's income is uncertain, so I don't need it!
The instructor already tallied the information in the class during the class meeting. It's no big deal. There's no need to lie about information for such a small amount of money. Besides, personal files are now subject to political vetting, which is quite strict. Although family background is no longer considered, the relevant information from higher authorities is still available.
Besides, the country is going through a difficult time right now, so there's no need to add to its burdens.
Days passed by like this, and now it's rare to see anyone dating on campus or in the classroom. Everyone is focused on studying and absorbing knowledge.
Regarding whether students can commute, the school has regulations: local students must live on campus for one semester, regardless of Saturdays and Sundays, but they cannot miss the first class on Monday mornings.
After the Lantern Festival, even Jiaozi (the child) went to daycare.
We weren't planning on letting her go, but she wouldn't listen. When she saw her brother go, she insisted on going too. In the end, we had no choice but to send her to daycare. Fortunately, there were a few other children there, so no one dared to bully her.
Putting everything else aside, the children in my family that I raised are all taller and stronger than other children of the same age. If we don't mention their age, most people would assume that their child is one or two years older than the others.
Even the dumplings, though they're called girls, are quite large.
It made Mom feel uneasy. Back when we lived in the countryside, she felt guilty for not being there to take care of the children. Now that she finally has a little one at home to play with, she insists on sending him to daycare.
However, she quickly shifted her attention, since Xin Yue's baby was quite big, and she tried every day to find ways to go out and get some food to cook and deliver to her.
Fortunately, thanks to my father's position, we can now buy some nutritional supplements in the "special supply zone".
Every Sunday when I go back home, I bring a basket of eggs or something to give to my children or to Xinyue. There's no other way; not only is the market still closed, but it's also hard to buy things on the black market.
Because a large number of students went to Beijing to study, the program of sending educated youth to the countryside stopped after the resumption of the college entrance examination last year. As for the unemployed people who stayed in the city, they would wander around the city and cause some trouble.
You often see groups of people fighting or robbing people there.
And that's how I ended up running into it.
"Stop right there! Hand over your money and tickets, do you hear me? I'm asking you a question!"
"That's right, didn't you hear our boss ask you a question? Do you know who our boss is? He'll scare you to death if I told you, you know?"
I wonder who this person on the other end is.
"Hey, what a fellow traveler! I am Wang Fan, and I'll keep my name the same as everyone else."
"Comrade Wang, don't you know that your actions are illegal?"
"Alright, enough nonsense. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a woman."
"that is"
"Since that's the case, why not give it a try?"
"Try it, then try it. You think I'm afraid of you? Kids, get him!"
"good"
"Grandma, spare me! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness!"
"Spare me!"
"Damn it, hurry up and tie each other up, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"ah"
"What, is that all the guts you have? Hurry up."
"well"
"Comrade Li, about this matter?"
"Comrade, could you please help me bring them all to the guard company?"
"yes"
"Comrade Li, about this matter..."
"What? These guys actually..."
"I originally planned to take them to the police station, but among these people, I recognized him from the military region, though I wasn't sure if he was from our region. So I brought them back instead."
"So, Comrade Li, what are your plans to do?"
"Let the parents come and pick them up! These kids are quite young, only sixteen or seventeen."
"good"
"Reporting to the commander, what's wrong? Can't you see there's a meeting going on?"
"Alright, since you're here, what's the urgent matter?"
"Comrade Li Mianmian was robbed on her way back by a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, including a relative of Chief of Staff Qin."
"What"
"No, what happened?"
"I don't know the specifics, but Comrade Li took the children to the guard company."
Moreover, Comrade Li has already informed the parents of these children.
The company commander heard that several of the children's parents were from families with vice-ministerial-level officials.
"Alright, let's call this meeting. This person can go now! These little devils have really caused trouble today."
"I think this is a perfect opportunity to stir things up. We can use Comrade Li to teach them a lesson."
"That's right, and at the same time, we can conduct a crackdown in the city."
"Yes!"
After figuring out their identities, he left.
From the first moment I saw them, I felt that most of them were from extraordinary families. Several of them were wearing Rolex watches. Could an ordinary person afford that?
"Steamed bun"
"Mom, you're back!"
"Come on, Mom has something to say."
"What is it, Mom? Tell me."
"Take your younger siblings to the guard company to find your grandfather, and tell him that Mom wants you and your older brothers to have a match."
