Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 27, Prank
The alleys near Huguo Temple are pitch dark.

Zhao Mancang had not expected to hear such "unsightly" sounds in the 1950s. There was excitement and surprise amidst the depression. The young people of that era were having so much fun.

Originally, he didn't want to disturb the leisurely mood of this wild couple, but after all, he had been drinking, and for some reason, he suddenly spoke.

"Hahaha~"

An extremely crazy laugh suddenly rang out and then suddenly stopped.

It gives people a creepy feeling.

In the dark alley, the two people who were having fun suddenly stopped moving and looked at the alley entrance with horror.

It’s a pity that it’s really dark there, how can you see anything?

"Jie Jie Jie~"

The next moment, another female voice that made people's hair stand on end rang out.

Ah!
The female lesbian couldn't bear it any longer, screamed in terror, pushed the male comrade in front of her away, and ran away.

As for the clothes on her body, she could only pack them while running.

The man couldn't bear it anymore and ran away.

Looking at the couple he had tricked running away in panic, Zhao Mancang was quite satisfied with his prank and chuckled softly.

Then he was startled by his own voice and felt cold all over.

Don't stay here for long!

Not long after he left, several neighbors appeared in the alley. They all carried kerosene lamps and bravely came here to check.

Who is doing this?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these strange and weird things are not allowed to appear.

A group of enthusiastic courtyard neighbors didn't find anything in the alley, so they quickly dispersed.

Zhao Mancang had no idea what happened next. After returning to the courtyard, he simply washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Lying on the bed, he was fanning himself, staring at the mosquito net above his head, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

It has been more than ten days since he came to this world. There are many things he has not been able to get used to, but he has to force himself to get used to them.

For example, this summer, it is hot and there are many mosquitoes.

It would be fine if there was no air conditioning, there was no fan either, so I could only use a fan to comfort myself.

Apart from that, the courtyard here is not convenient for taking a shower or going to the bathroom.

Even when eating meat, one has to be extremely careful, for fear that one might accidentally cause gossip from neighbors.

Ugh!
In life, most of the time, things are not as we wish.

Even if Zhao Mancang really wanted to lie down and give up, it wasn't that easy.

Why did so many young people in their previous life intermittently lie down and give up, and continue to live a life of idleness and waiting for death?
This is not the modern social environment with its convenient air conditioning, WiFi, watermelon rental houses, etc. If it were the 1950s, not to mention the countryside, even in the city, it would be enough to make those people cry for their parents.

Before he knew it, Zhao Mancang had regained consciousness.

The sky outside was still pitch black and I had no idea what time it was.

But based on his feeling, Zhao Mancang felt that it was almost dawn.

It’s better to get up and go to the public toilet outside at this time, otherwise you will have to queue up later.

Sure enough, when Zhao Mancang came out of Guangliang Gate, the gate was open and not closed, which meant that some neighbors had already gone out.

When he arrived at the toilet, there was indeed a figure squatting inside. With the help of the other person's kerosene lamp, Zhao Mancang could see the other person's face clearly.

The road between enemies is narrow!
That was Jin Wenjian, the third son of Mr. Jin in the backyard. This kid was just as impulsive as his second brother Jin Wenliang.

However, in this special place, Jin Wenjian only snorted coldly and did nothing. Zhao Mancang was too lazy to speak. After all, staying here any longer would only bring suffering.

The public toilets in Beijing are cleaned every three days, but there are so many people, so the smell is still quite strong.

Even though Zhao Mancang was used to staying in smelly places like the breeding room, it was definitely much better than staying in a public toilet.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang always fought quickly and left the toilet before Jin Wenjian finished the battle.

However, when he came out, it was already getting light outside, and it looked like it would be daybreak soon.

Life without a watch is hard.

As for looking up at the sky to determine the time, for Zhao Mancang, this is a lost skill that can never be recovered.

Instead of doing this, you might as well work hard and buy a watch as soon as possible.

After coming out of the toilet, Zhao Mancang did not go home, but went straight to the grain station to queue up.

Today is the 25th, and everyone will rush to grain stations, supply and marketing cooperatives and other places to purchase grain as soon as possible.

The grain station is closer to Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple, and it has more and more complete rice, flour, grain and oil than the supply and marketing cooperative.

Therefore, on the 25th of every month, everyone would come to the grain station to line up.

When Zhao Mancang arrived, there were already more than ten people queuing in front of him.

Everyone is the same. After buying food, they have to hurry back to work, so many people are a little anxious at this moment.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and the team behind Zhao Mancang grew longer and longer.

But just when Zhao Mancang was getting bored of waiting, someone cut in line in front of him. This really angered everyone.

"Who cut in line? Isn't my sister-in-law already queuing here? Why did she cut in line?"

When Jin Wenjian heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said angrily.

It would have been fine if he didn't explain, but once he did, the people behind him became furious.

Before Zhao Mancang even had a chance to speak, the neighbors started talking about Jin Wenjian.

The latter couldn't stand so many people cursing at him and ran away in shame.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say a few polite words: Just wait!
'How childish!'

The neighbors didn't take this seriously and just thought Jin Wenjian was being childish.

Zhao Mancang, who watched the show, just chuckled. He was just a bystander and had no intention of participating.

People of this generation are really strong in fighting ability.

After the queue-jumping incident, the gate of the grain station was finally opened, and Zhao Mancang was able to see the situation inside the grain station as he wished.

Wow, all kinds of flour, rice, sweet potatoes, etc. are piled up like mountains.

Everyone brought their own flour bags to fill with flour, except Zhao Mancang who came with empty hands.

Because he had just moved and didn't have any flour bags, he could only wait and ask the people at the grain station if he could buy one.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of flour bags at the grain station, so Zhao Mancang directly asked the staff for ten bags.

"Why do you need so many bags?"

His request not only shocked the grain station staff, but also the other neighbors standing behind him looked at him in surprise.

"Loading food!"

Zhao Mancang responded confidently, "Didn't you say one cent a bag? I'm spending ten cents on ten bags, isn't that too much? Or do we need to limit the purchase of bags, too?"
