Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Beijing’s Chunheng District, here is the former capital Chunhengfang, next to the city wall, which is a remote corner of the entire Beijing city. The people who originally lived here were poor people who could not afford to hire domestic servants.

Now that most of them have become Beijing City, their days seem to have changed, and they seem to have not changed.

"Zhao Gen's, go get your clothes, I think it's a bad day, maybe it will rain in a while." Auntie stood in the courtyard, shouting to the next door willingly.

A new daughter-in-law walked out from the next room. She had a round face and small eyes, but she was healthy and healthy at this time. She replied: "Auntie, are your salted duck eggs ready? My family wants to eat it. , I will exchange corn for you."

The auntie smiled and said, "That's easy to say."

The child ran out of the house with a cloth bag slung on his waist, biting the bun in his mouth: "Mother, I went to school."

The aunt patted him on the head. She had four sons before this child, and they were all forced to become soldiers during the war. The old man broke a leg and escaped, and there was this little boy.

Originally thought that the child would not survive, there was nothing to eat during the war, and their home had no land, but the little boy survived on the chaff and the roots of the bark and grass. He has survived now with good luck and he has not grown up. The world is peaceful.

Nowadays, schools are opened in the district, and you can go without restraint. You only need to pay for the books.

However, only young people have this kind of preferential treatment.

After finishing elementary school, you will have to teach and practice discipline before going to middle school.

But if you have good grades, you will get a scholarship. Maybe you don’t have to spend money to study and you can earn money.

Reading is a good thing. I used to be reluctant to send my children to worship Mr. because I didn’t have money. Not only did I have to spend money, there was also one less labor force at home.

Children of ordinary people start to work as soon as they can walk, and when they are seven or eight years old, they are considered labor force.

Now the money is better than before. The children can’t spend a lot of money on reading. Besides, they can read Braille and find a good job after reading the book. As long as they plan to sell, how can they be a bookkeeper? Some, go to the store to learn for a period of time, you can be the shopkeeper.

Now watching the little boy leaping towards the university, a smile appeared on the aunt's face full of weather.

Even the pleats are filled with a cheerful taste.

The new wife touched her belly, and there was a little kid inside. She didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, whether it was a man or a woman. Now the world has changed, and girls can survive and earn money.

"The daughter-in-law of the old Li's family in front wants to make peace with her man." The aunt said as she took the clothes. "It was said that her man took all the money from the family to prostitute. She and her son were hungry all day Was beaten and scolded by Lao Li."

The new wife was taken aback: "Does her man agree?"

Auntie: "Definitely disagree, she told him the man, the government officials checked and asked them, they were sentenced to leave, the child goes to the old wife Li."

"His family is poor." The aunt sighed, "The only thing that can be divided is the house."

The new daughter-in-law has lingering fears: "How will Aunt Zhao live in the future?"

The auntie smiled and said: "She is having a good time. She took her son to rent a house outside, let him go to school, and go to work in a big family by herself. It is better than the man who followed her. He was full of food at any rate and was not afraid of the creditor coming. "

"What about the house?" the new wife asked again.

Aunt: "Because the house is an ancestral house, the government didn't let them sell it and then divide it. It only asked Lao Li to pay his wife every month, as well as child support."

New wife: "Old Li can still get this money?"

The auntie smiled and said, "Is there anything you can do? If it is delayed for the first half of the year, the house will go to the government. The government will pay for it, and then distribute the rent for the house to their husband and wife."

The new daughter-in-law touched her stomach: "It's better to have a better life, the elder above is thinking about us."

The aunt also said, "That is, the current majesty is the former Southern King, and the Southern King is a living Bodhisattva who descended to the earth. Thinking about us people, now it’s easy for men to find work, and they can still serve as soldiers if they don’t want to work. The disabled also have a living, as long as they are willing to do things, they can live a good life."

"I heard that there is trouble in the city outside." The aunt frowned, "I don't want to have a good day after two days."

The new wife whispered, "Which one knows?"

The auntie smiled at her: "Your belly is still not visible, but be careful."

The new daughter-in-law lowered her head and looked at her belly tenderly with her brows. A little life was gestating inside.

"If you are born well, the child will surely be born well." The aunt said, "This child is also at the right time. Now that he is born, he is here to enjoy the blessing."

The new daughter-in-law said shyly: "Who said no? My family said, I’m going to buy me fish soup to replenish my body. When I have a child, I will drink fish soup every day. Although I can’t eat chicken soup, I can I see the daughter-in-law next door, let alone the fish soup, she can’t eat even one egg, and she has to work if she has a big belly."

"Hua Niang! I'm back! I caught the fish for you!" The man was dressed in shorts, with a sweat on his forehead, but with a smile on his face. He also held a string of fishes strung by wicker, three of them, and another I only carried a bamboo basket with a few taro and yellow noodle buns in it.

The new wife groaned: "What's the rush? Don't trip your feet, be careful."

The man smirked and wiped his sweat: "I'm afraid you miss me."

The new wife blushed, and whispered: "You have a glib tongue."

The auntie smiled: "That's your man who loves you, the young couple hurry in."

The man said to his wife after entering the house: "When I was buying fish, I heard that the fishing team had to recruit people. I had a basic salary of 50 yuan a month. If I sold more fish that month, I would earn more. I heard from the big brother inside, He can have 500 essays a month."

The daughter-in-law opened her mouth: "So many?"

Man: "Is there still a shortage of clothes? The fishy smell is too strong, and the laundry in the city is unwilling to pick it up. So they hired people and said that they can get 80 items for washing clothes in one month, but there is no commission. Most of them are eighty essays. If it weren't for you, it would be a good job."

The daughter-in-law also thought it was a good job, she felt a little sad when she touched her belly.

Commission is now a new word, but many industries are like this, people have become accustomed from the novelty at the beginning.

The businessmen hired people and found that they worked harder after the commission had been said, and they were happy to do so.

Seeing his wife’s depression, the man quickly comforted him: "Don’t be sad. You can find a job after you give birth to your child and finish your confinement. In the city of Beijing, women can work a lot, just say that. The clothing workshop has been hiring people."

Clothing factories generally make clothes for soldiers.

Soldiers’ clothes are set twice a year, and there are new ones every year.

This work is calculated by piece, and if it is done, the garment workshop will be closed.

But this belonged to the imperial court. The merchants themselves also built clothing factories outside the city. They made cheap clothes, which were worn by poor people. The styles were simple. However, they also imitated the imperial court and counted the pieces and counted the money. Some clothing factories did not count the pieces. Fixed monthly remuneration.

This kind of fixed remuneration has less money, but for stability, it requires a contract. It cannot be said that no one is needed.

The daughter-in-law regained her spirit. She smiled and said, "Then we have to make more money, and we will make more money for the children in the future."

The man also touched his daughter-in-law's belly, flat and could not feel anything, but there was a smirk on his face, as if the child was already in front of him.

Seeing the man looking happy, the daughter-in-law asked in a low voice: "This is still a girl..."

"I like a girl too." The man smiled, "Even if there is only one girl, we can recruit extras. You think, if a kid marries a daughter-in-law, if his daughter-in-law is not honest, she can't figure out who to raise the child, then the girl will be fine. It must be the seed of our old grandson's family!"

The daughter-in-law continued to shoot him: "It's so nonsense, the child hasn't given birth, so you point to the child to have a baby."

The man touched his nose: "If there are many children, the family will rise and fall. If we give birth to a daughter, we don't want to marry out, so we will recruit parents. The more people in the grandson family, the better.

The daughter-in-law looked at him distressed: "It's strange that you always do a few jobs these days."

Man: "I am a man, and I am stronger than you. I take advantage of my youth and strength to earn more money. We can enjoy the blessing when we are old."

The wife nodded: "I will cook for you."

Man: "My dear, don't go to the stove. I'm always afraid that you will fall. Let's go out to eat. It's not expensive outside. I'll come back to make fish soup for you in the evening."

Now there is a free market in each district. Farmers sell vegetables and meat here. There are also food stalls with a few tables and chairs. They don’t take up much space. The food stalls have to pay the government every month, not much, but this It's the money for renting the shop, and I have to pay personal income tax at the end of the month. This guy doesn't understand it, but seeing the food stalls are doing well and the stall owners are busy but happy, they know that the money paid is not much, otherwise they can't laugh Come.

The man took his wife and found a hot jelly stall to sit down.

One person ordered a bowl of hot jelly, which is made from sweet potatoes. After boiling it, add some sauce, which is delicious and convenient. You can turn around a bowl of hot jelly and serve it.

After eating the hot jelly, the man and his wife went to buy a barbecue again. He bought a bunch of meat skewers and two vegetarian skewers for his wife, but he did not eat them.

Others sell spring rolls, noodles, whatever you want, the price is cheap.

One bowl of hot jelly, if the barbecue is meat, it will be two pieces, and two skewers per piece of vegetarian.

After they had eaten, they paid five cents in total, and they were full.

The new wife couldn't hold back on the way back, she covered her face and cried.

The man was startled: "How much are you crying? Don't cry, my heart is broken by crying."

The new daughter-in-law touched her tears: "It would be great if we could live like this forever."

The man was taken aback, and said, "I want to too."

"Don't worry, I heard from my friend that a distant relative who was a small official said that the policy will only get better and better in the future, all for the sake of our people."

"Let's live with peace of mind, rest assured to have children, and earn a family business for our children!"

The new wife nodded tearfully, a little smile on her face, crying and laughing.

The man sadly wiped her tears: "Let's live a good life, and laugh at a good life."
