Chapter 32: Reverse Tiangang Seeks Investment and Reading
"What?"

Jia Zhang’s eyes widened and asked, “I’ll lend you 100,000 yuan?”

It's really the opposite of Tian Gang. She is still thinking about taking advantage of others, how could she let others take advantage of her?

She didn't even go to ask around in the compound, as Jia Zhang had never suffered any loss.

Moreover, since he lent the money to He Yuzhu, he would definitely not get it back, and of course He Yuzhu had no intention of paying it back.

If you come to my place for a meal, it’s not too much to ask me to pay 100,000 yuan for the food, right?

So this one hundred thousand yuan was the food expenses that Jia Zhang paid for eating and drinking when she came to his place, so why should he pay it back?
Of course Jia Zhang refused to pay, but she wanted to take advantage.

The millet soup made by Shazhu is really delicious!

However, after struggling for a while, Jia Zhang finally gave up.

After all, it was impossible to ask her to pay, and if she didn't lend him money, He Yuzhu would definitely not let her take advantage of it.

Finally, Jia Zhang said angrily:

"Zhu Zi, since your family has no food, I will just go home and eat."

After saying this, Jia Zhang looked at the millet porridge in the pot again reluctantly, then turned and left.

Watching Jia Zhang leave, He Yuzhu suddenly had an immature little plan in his mind.

Since these beasts like to plot against me so much, it’s not too much for me to plot against them as well.

I took a look at the family savings and it seemed that there was not much left.

We used to spend a lot of money buying coal briquettes for heating.

There was no collective heating in Beijing in the 1950s and 1960s.

In the 50s, people still used heated kangs, which were connected to the walls on three sides. During the day, a small table was placed on the kang for doing homework, eating and keeping warm, and at night the whole family would sleep on it. At that time, a small floor stove with wheels that could be pushed and slid was ignited with coal, and pushed into the furnace of the kang. After a while, the whole kang and the room would be warm.

At that time, there were few residential buildings, most of which were bungalows. In winter, residents used coal stoves for heating.

When winter comes, every household cleans the ashes and reloads the stove, prepares to chop firewood, and goes to the coal factory to buy coal briquettes.

Prepare chimneys and install coal stoves. When installing chimneys, pay attention to the order of chimneys. Do not install chimneys upside down. Burn coal in winter and seal the fire at night to ensure that the house is not cold when sleeping. Install wind scoops on windows to prevent people from getting gas.

In the north, coal was an indispensable part of the daily life of urban and rural residents at that time.

After liberation, coal was included in the national unified purchasing plan and became a resource controlled by the state. It was allocated uniformly by the state and private operation was not allowed.

Therefore, a charcoal yard was set up by Fengju in the urban area, which was a supply point for supplying coal for urban residents' daily use during the planned economy period.

A coal construction company was specially established, with several coal fields under it to ensure supply. Coal is divided into eastern coal and western coal. Eastern coal refers to Datong coal in Shanxi. Datong coal has high calorie content and is very popular among consumers, but the price is high. Western coal refers to Baotou coal, which has low calorie content but low price.

Citizens must have a coal purchase certificate to buy coal, and each household is supplied with a fixed quantity and time each quarter (500 kilograms per quarter, and an additional 500 kilograms in winter. At that time, the heating period was 5 months, from November 11th of each year to March 15th of the following year).

The varieties of charcoal include Yanggeleng and Yingpanwan, collectively known as Western charcoal, and occasionally some Eastern charcoal (Datong charcoal).

Wherever there is a charcoal factory, there is someone who delivers the charcoal.

In the 20s and s, the coal supplied to coal plants was all mixed coal, which was a mixture of lump coal and flour coal.

It's okay in the summer, but when winter comes, people always want to get some coal to start the stove for heating, so they need the help of coal delivery people.

The coal deliveryman is very knowledgeable about the origin and combustion degree of coal, and knows what kind of coal is durable and what kind of coal has more gangue.

At that time, the coal deliverymen in the coal factory often dealt with coal, so their faces and bodies were covered with coal powder. People called them "black boys" and forgot their real names. At that time, as long as they said "black boys", people knew it was the coal deliverymen.

The coal was transported by a row car (which is no longer in existence), and the charge was based on the distance, about 5 to 8 cents per 300 catties. At that time, residents generally bought 509 to catties, not by the ton like today.

The cart was blocked with willow branches at the front and back and then tied with hemp ropes. It was loaded with coal and pulled away.

This was the situation with coal in the fifties and sixties.

Besides, the New Year is coming, and he needs to buy New Year goods. Especially after He Daqing ran away, he has to live a prosperous life, so as not to be looked down upon by the beasts in the compound.

Being too high-profile makes people easily notice you, while being too low-profile and weak makes you easy to be bullied. It has to be said that living in this romantic courtyard is like walking on thin ice.

Of course, if he has money in the future, He Yuzhu will definitely move out as soon as possible, but he will have to wait until after the reform and opening up.

After dinner, He Yuzhu turned around and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle Yi, are you eating?"

When I walked in, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were having dinner.

There was a pile of pickles and two bowls of corn porridge on the table.

Compared with He Yuzhu's family, this dinner was much more humble.

But there was no way around it, since Yi Zhonghai had given all the fine grain in the house to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu felt a little guilty about this.

However, when he thought about the next plan, He Yuzhu's guilt was immediately swept away.

"Zhu Zi, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?" Yi Zhonghai said politely with a smile.

He Yuzhu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Uncle Yi, I need your help with something else."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face trembled again.

Aunt Yi next to her had an expression that suddenly changed. It seemed that Aunt Yi also knew about sending food to He Yuzhu.

If He Yuzhu wasn't still young, Aunt Yi would definitely have said something.

Yi Zhonghai asked with an unpleasant expression: "Zhu Zi, didn't I just deliver food to you? Is there anything else?"

"Hey!"

He Yuzhu sighed and said with difficulty: "Uncle Yi, you know the situation of our family. We have no money left."

"School is about to start, and my sister Yu Shui's tuition is still not settled."

this.
He just delivered food and now comes to ask for tuition. Is this the He Yuzhu he knows?

Even if Yi Zhonghai wanted He Yuzhu to be the second person to take care of his old age, he didn't want to be the scapegoat.

Besides, there is Jia Dongxu, the first choice.

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and said, "Shazhu, it's not that Uncle Yi doesn't want to help you, our family conditions are actually not good."

Then Yi Zhonghai pointed to the table and said, "Look, our family is still eating coarse grains. Do you have to figure out the tuition fee yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai directly refused, since Jia Dongxu was there anyway.

He Yuzhu was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "Uncle Yi, that's not what you said this afternoon."

"You said that you would help our family as long as they were in trouble. Why are you regretting it now?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face became troubled again.

He said so, but that doesn't mean he is willing to do it.

No one's money comes from the wind. If He Yuzhu didn't show him the benefits, Yi Zhonghai would never give him the money.

He Yuzhu also knew this, but he just wanted to get something for nothing.
