Liang Fengxia is not ugly, but she has no choice.

At an age when Gu Zhaocheng was ignorant about love, it was normal for him to have a lot of affection for Liang Fengxia, the only girl he had much contact with.

"I came back from vacation and got off the car. I walked so far and got off the bridge. Didn't you see me?"

The girl has a loud voice and speaks with a standard Northeastern accent, which is a standard Northeastern accent.

"No, I was fishing, so I didn't pay attention." Gu Zhaocheng replied perfunctorily.

Now Gu Zhaocheng has no feelings for this girl.

This Liang Fengxia is just average in appearance, and her personality is too aggressive.

There are many Northeastern girls who are both sweet and salty.

They are buddies during the day and daughter-in-law at night. This girl only has a hot side, not gentleness.

At least he is not gentle towards Gu Zhaocheng, he can only be a buddy.

Gu Zhaocheng was not in the mood to play around with his buddies without thinking about the future.

"I see you didn't pay attention to fishing. I called you so many times, but you didn't answer. How many fish did you catch?" Liang Fengxia kicked the fish guard, looked at it, and asked herself:

"There's quite a lot to be gained."

"Do you want it? If so, you can take two and go home and ask your mother to make you some soup."

Although this is already 1997, this forest area is relatively isolated from the world.

The local flavor is still very strong, and it is still a common thing to share something with your neighbors.

Although Gu Zhaocheng pointed to these fish to improve the food for his family, he was not stingy and sharing two with his buddies was not a problem.

It's too far away from the city and it's hard to sell the fish in the city for money, so the fish is not precious.

"Forget it, it's such a cold weather, you managed to catch so many fish, so I won't take them. You can keep them and take them home to eat."

Because her parents work both ways, Liang Fengxia's family still has a much better life than Gu's family.

Not to mention that the Liang family is shrewd and stingy, and Gu Changshan is bold and generous. Even if they make the same money, the Gu family will have difficulties than the Liang family.

"Aren't you going to be a soldier? Why are you fishing by the river all day like an old man and not knowing how to exercise? Look at Zhang Zhenhe, he works hard every day." Liang Fengxia continued.

"What kind of exercise do you want to exercise? If Zhang Zhenhe exercises again, can his physique compare to mine?"

It was Gu Zhaocheng's previous plan and ideal to become a soldier.

In fact, this is a good way, regardless of the public aspect.

With Gu Zhaocheng's physique, it is impossible for him to serve as a compulsory soldier for only two years after he leaves. As long as he works hard, he can easily stay in the army.

I don't think about whether I can have the opportunity to advance to the military academy and improve my career.

Even if you serve as an ordinary non-commissioned officer for a few more years, you can still find a job when you return and change careers.

In the worst case scenario, you can still have a stable future for the rest of your life.

But at present, Gu Zhaocheng is not planning to become a soldier.

In this mission, he did not support Gu Zhaocheng and only considered his own future.

He ran away from home and could not come back until many years later.

"You are so awesome." Liang Fengxia praised Gu Zhaocheng teasingly.

"You're not very good at it. You can't blow the cold wind like me. You should go home quickly and don't freeze like this with me anymore."

Gu Zhaocheng used the weather as an excuse to urge Liang Fengxia to go back and not delay her thinking about life.

"Then I'll go back. You can just fish for a while and then go home."

If you only regard Liang Fengxia as a friend, this girl is okay and somewhat kind-hearted.

"System, sign in!"

"Congratulations to the host for receiving: five yuan in cash and two barrels of instant noodles."

After Liang Fengxia left, Gu Zhaocheng placed another wave of bait in the ice hole and prepared to catch another net of fish.

Then the system's "minimum living security" was used again.

This "subsistence allowance" is indeed directly linked to the times.

The five yuan of this era is difficult to directly compare with the previous era due to the different levels of development.

But in terms of food purchasing power, five yuan in this era is almost equivalent to one yuan in the 1960s.

A pound of pork costs four to five yuan, and a pound of flour costs seven to eight cents. From these most common prices, we can get some ideas.

It’s almost the same as one person’s daily living expenses.

Bucket instant noodles are actually quite good. A bucket costs three or four yuan. At least in Gu Zhaocheng's memory, instant noodles are not available in small shops in forest farms.

It’s a reasonably easy-to-handle snack, so you can go home and play with your little brother.

The current "subsistence allowance" still has some effect on Gu Zhaocheng. Gu Zhaocheng has emptied all his pockets and only has more than fifty yuan.

It was Gu Changshan who gave Gu Zhaocheng money to buy clothes so that he could be more dignified during his physical examination as a soldier.

With this money, you can buy a cheap cotton coat. Such cheap clothes are definitely not considered good, but wearing something new and clean is considered decent.

He collected another net and fished out two fish. After collecting both the net and the bag, Gu Zhaocheng went home with seven or eight fish caught.

In this era, there is a sufficient supply of cooking oil, which can remove the fishy smell, so eating fish is still okay.

It is definitely more nutritious than eating only pickles, sauerkraut, and dried vegetables.

"Zhaocheng, you are back."

After returning to Gu's house, Na Cunhua saw Gu Zhaocheng and came out to welcome him.

That Cunhua is Gu Zhaocheng's wife, and she is actually a bannerman.

Such wealthy and well-off families in the previous dynasty should have lived a good life.

It's just that Cunhua lost her lover once.

With Gu Zhaocheng as a drag, when I got married for the second time, I had no choice but to marry Gu Changshan, a forestry worker whose living environment and working conditions were relatively difficult.

Although forestry workers are also "iron rice bowls" who earn wages.

But other workers live in the city.

Forestry workers live in remote mountainous areas and are isolated from the world. They can be said to be the worst category of workers.

There are only a hundred households living in a forest farm family area, and the shopping, medical care, and entertainment are far inferior to those in the city.

Thinking that he has dragged my mother down, Gu Zhaocheng has always felt that he owes me a lot, so he has always been polite to me.

"Today's harvest is not bad. There are quite a lot of fish. Let's make two more tonight."

After handing the fish to Cunhua, Gu Zhaocheng consciously went to get an ax and started chopping firewood.

Gas and natural gas have long been popularized in the city.

In forest areas, wood is still used for cooking.

Firewood rice is both delicious and troublesome.

If you still need to burn the kang every day, you will also need to consume a lot of firewood.

Never letting yourself be idle is Gu Zhaocheng's daily routine after becoming sensible.

Gu Zhaocheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation, so he was ready to keep it going.

If Gu Zhaocheng doesn't do these jobs, then he has to do the flower depositing, an eighteen-year-old boy, and the other a woman who is nearly forty years old.

It is clear at a glance which one should do these menial tasks more.

"Have a rest for a while and go to the house to warm up. This fish is enough to eat and this firewood is enough to burn. You are leaving home soon. You should rest more when you are at home. You don't have to do this. You won't dare to do it for a while.

Just relax at home."
