Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Chapter 1796: Times Have Changed (Part 7)



Although the state had issued many strict regulations to prohibit mutual exchange between urban and rural areas, such as requiring introduction letters for entering the city, riding on transportation, and staying in inns, rules cannot completely override human sentiment. Plus, considering the situation of people frequently on business trips, there was this regulation allowing temporary transfer of food and oil relations. It's just that the duration for their siblings was a bit long, but their parents were not troubled by it.

Xibao's food and oil relations were not transferred initially. Later, due to staying in the hometown for a long time, they were temporarily transferred and registered in the city.

Apart from the educated youth who went up the mountains and down the countryside, it was quite difficult to transfer household registration between urban and rural; not even marriage could change that.

Upon learning that a few children's food and oil relations had been transferred to Huaibei City, Wang Fengqiao felt relieved, yet regretted not caring enough for Xibao, even unaware that such a procedure existed. No wonder Xibao never lacked food while staying in the hometown.

After Xibao left with his younger siblings, Wang Fengqiao packed a bag of flour and carried a basket of eggs to send to them.

Due to the policy of cutting off capitalist tails, their family only raised three chickens. But since she and her husband lived alone with very few expenses, the money earned annually through work points was sufficient for them. Therefore, they saved the eggs for their own consumption, occasionally slipping one or two to their grandchildren, instead of exchanging them at the supply and marketing cooperative for daily necessities like most of the neighbors did.

When Wang Fengqiao arrived, Wang Zhenguo was talking with Cheng Baoguo, and many other elders from the village gathered to join the fun, some bringing a basket of eggs, some offering a bowl of meatballs, or sending over some potatoes, radishes, cabbages, and dried vegetables.

Fubao and the triplets were smiling until their faces almost froze.

Ye Yan, hiding in the east wing room and not coming out, secretly felt lucky that he wasn't one of the Lu Family's kids. He had long noticed that everyone was particularly interested in the Lu Family's children.

Fubao, keen to meet the elders like Jin Ruochu and Wen Ruyu, nudged Lu Erxiong.

"Erxiong, didn't you want to ride the mule cart? I'm really curious too!"

Lu Erxiong clutched Lu Tianzhi's arm, "Second cousin, you promised to take us to see the big mules!"

Lu Tianzhi chuckled, but said, "Wishful thinking! Everyone came to see you, wouldn't they have come for nothing if you left? Sit tight here and greet everyone, and don't think about leaving."

The enthusiasm was overwhelming and hard to cope with!

Lu Erxiong gave him a resentful glare, then held a bowl of meatballs and sat down in the corner to eat.

Without beef tallow frying, the meatballs were not tasty; they weren't fresh and lacked crispness, instead being rather soft. After eating a few, Lu Erxiong put the bowl back on the table, reached into his pocket for sunflower seeds, and began cracking them while listening to people praise him and his siblings for their siblings' manners and complimenting Cheng Baoguo and his wife.

As circumstances loosened, it was no longer a secret about Wang Xinsheng and Cheng Baoguo's backgrounds, and everyone in the Wanglou Brigade felt honored. Their Wanglou Brigade had produced three notable figures, how could they not be proud?

The older generation included Wang Xinsheng and Cheng Baoguo, the current generation included Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, and the next generation was bound to surpass them.

Because of these great figures, Wanglou Brigade developed better and better, receiving preferential treatment from the commune, county, and the city. Often, when good things happened, Wanglou Brigade would not be left out. Their animal husbandry industry was thriving. In special cases, like when they acquired a hand-held tractor, the Dongfanghong crawler tractor was not available to them.

Someone suggested, "Chief, it's the end of the year, shall we slaughter a pig tomorrow?"
