Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

After drinking tea for a while, it was almost 12:[-] noon when Li Ming drove him out of the office.

Yang Zhu, who was planning to go back to his seat and take the rice bowl to the cafeteria to sweep up some leftovers, saw that in the empty department, only the seaweed monster was lying on the desk alone, and he was a little strange: "Eh? Sima Qingcuo, don't you eat it?" lunch?"

Hearing Yang Zhu's voice, a certain seaweed monster seemed to be taken aback, raised its head suddenly, and then seemed to see the savior: "Team Leader Yang, you are back!"

"Team Leader Yang, I've been waiting for you, that... can you lend me 1 yuan?" The seaweed monster said weakly.

Yang Zhu was a little puzzled: "Lend you 1 yuan? What are you using it for?"

But I thought in my heart, could it be some kind of witchcraft to divert bad luck?I seem to have seen similar rumors in the corners of the urban legends of later generations.

"This... this... I lost my wallet again, and I lost all my money. Can you lend me 1 yuan to have lunch first?" The seaweed monster looked a little embarrassed.

"Well, actually... 8 cents is enough." As if afraid that Yang Zhu would think too much, the girl hurriedly added.

Well, I can be sure now that this guy borrowed that one dollar, not for some witchcraft, but what the hell is that "you" character? .

"You can go back to the dormitory and get some more? It's really not possible. Don't you know how to find your roommate and friends first? What time is it? If I don't come back, are you planning to skip lunch!" The seaweed monster This kind of female workshop worker lived in a four-person dormitory, and Yang Zhu looked at her with some distaste—this girl is so stupid! .

"Eh...my dormitory key is in my wallet, and I lost it too." The girl looked a little embarrassed.

"Also, I live alone now, and I don't have a roommate." The seaweed monster's head dropped to its chest again.

After roughly guessing the reason why this guy has monopolized a dormitory, Yang Zhu looked at her with some pity: "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria together with the jar; don't say whether to borrow it or not, this meal will be treated as a meal." I'll cleanse you up!"

………………

in the cafeteria.

Yang Zhu, who had spent a long time picking from a row of leftover soup and leftover water, carried a jar full of food and sat on the dining table. The pointed mushrooms and the four characters of "serving the people" on the enamel jar were combined together. Together, it looks indescribably festive.

After a while, the seaweed monster also came over carrying his own rice bowl, and then carefully handed a few untorn rice tickets to Yang Zhu.

Yang Zhu looked at the thin papers, and frowned a little: "I bought you a meal ticket for 3 yuan, why do you have so much left?"

Well, what needs to be explained is that in 98, there was no such thing as an all-in-one card. After the canteens of state-owned enterprises were separated from the logistics department for independent nuclear management, the employees had to buy a card every time for a long time. Meal tickets with various denominations printed on them can only be served; Yang Zhu complained more than once about this kind of thin paper that is easily damaged and lost, seriously suspecting that this is an anti-human design deliberately designed by the cafeteria to "generate income".

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yang Zhu's tone, the seaweed monster was a little nervous: "3 yuan is too much, I only need 3 cents of rice, and a vegetarian dish is enough to eat."

Seeing that Yang Zhu's expression became more and more unhappy, the girl hurriedly explained: "I usually eat like this, and the food in the cafeteria is very large, which is enough to eat, and... today my aunt even poured an extra spoonful of vegetable soup for me. Woolen cloth!"

Seeing the excitement of making a lot of money on this guy's face, and looking at the meager rice and watery vinegar cabbage in her rice bowl, Yang Zhu was extremely upset, and then he couldn't help but put his green pepper Pulled more than half of the sliced ​​meat into her tank: "Give it to me quickly! Anyway, it's a welcome feast, you eat so poorly, are you trying to embarrass me!?"

The seaweed monster was shocked when he saw so much meat in his bowl.

Looking at her like this, Yang Zhu felt a sense of satisfaction after alleviating poverty in his heart: "I haven't touched my chopsticks for these dishes, so hurry up, not even a single bite of food is left!"

Seeing Team Leader Yang's expression of not being allowed to refute, the seaweed monster felt wronged and wanted to cry - I don't know how to eat spicy food, these green peppers are so spicy and said, woo~~

………………

In the afternoon, a certain seaweed monster that ran to the toilet several times in a row because of gastrointestinal discomfort, collapsed on the desk next to Yang Zhu, panting.

"Sima Qingcuo! Sima Qingcuo! Is Sima Qingcuo in your sales department?" At this time, a middle-aged woman with a face full of displeasure shouted at the door of the office.

"Ah? Aunt Li in the reception room, I'm here!" The seaweed monster quickly stood up and walked to the door.

"Here! Someone picked up your wallet, here it is!" The middle-aged woman threw a hand-sewn canvas wallet over with a blank expression, turned around and left.

The seaweed monster didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the middle-aged woman's attitude, and quickly opened the wallet with his name embroidered on it - as expected, everything except the key disappeared.

"Really, what does a little girl look like all day long! How long has it been, and I can't find you three or four times in that month? I'm not afraid of getting tired, and I don't even feel ashamed!?" The middle-aged woman's voice changed from The sound came from the corridor, as if it was intended for someone.

Some frustrated seaweed monsters walked up to Yang Zhu: "Team Leader Yang, I would like to ask for half an hour's leave."

Yang Zhu scanned the key in her hand: "Going back to the dormitory to have a look?"

The seaweed monster looked a little uneasy, and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Yang Zhu smacked his lips: "Success, you go!"

Seeing the slightly soft-footed seaweed monster rushing out of the office, Yang Zhu sighed helplessly. These days, everyone's behavior is no better than before, and it is far from what they will be like in later generations; it is estimated that some of them are crying.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, the seaweed monster holding a canvas bag tightly came back.

Looking at the half pale face and the red eyes behind the frame, Yang Zhu pouted: "Why don't you report this to the security department!"

The seaweed monster bit his lip tightly, and shook his head: "I can't find out, it was like this a few times before..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl lay her head on the table and sobbed silently.

Seeing this guy crying sadly, Yang Zhu waited patiently for 10 minutes before tapping her shoulder with his finger: "How much did you lose?"

"47 yuan and [-] cents!" The seaweed monster didn't look up, its voice full of despair.

Yang Zhu had a black line: "Isn't it just more than 40 yuan, as for crying so badly?"

Hearing Yang Zhu's words at first, the seaweed monster cried even more sadly, raised his head and pouted, "That's my one month's living expenses!"

Yang Zhu was a little surprised, are you serious?It's 98 now, not 78!

Although the employee dormitory only needs to pay 17 yuan a month, but food, drink, and other daily necessities are placed there, is 47 yuan really enough?

Well, perhaps it is more straightforward to put it another way. If converted according to the actual purchasing power, in 98 when prices were soaring, if only daily necessities are counted, 47 yuan is equivalent to a little more than 2020 yuan in 200.

In 2020, can you imagine that a young girl only spends more than 200 yuan a month?

………………

After waiting for half an hour, the seaweed monster suddenly turned his head: "Team leader Yang, didn't you say that our sales department will have new field activities soon?"

"That... how long did it start?"

Seeing the girl's anticipation, Yang Zhu said angrily: "Give up, because of some reason of our Section Chief Li, the new field activities will not start until at least a week later. So, the field subsidy you are looking forward to , it's early!"

"Ah!??" The seaweed monster deflated like a deflated balloon.

Looking at the girl whose aura was sluggish and turned negative, Yang Zhu was a little puzzled: "Tsk tsk, logically speaking, even if you work as a female worker in the workshop, you still have 600 yuan a month. According to your money-saving strength, it is impossible to even pay for it in your passbook. Don’t you have any money at all? Tell me, are you counting on those field expenses as if you were looking for a savior?”

Hearing Yang Zhu mention the "passbook", the seaweed monster subconsciously hugged the canvas bag he was clutching in his arms, then just shook his head without speaking.

have to!Yang Zhu rolled his eyes, it seems that this is another unknown story...
