Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

"It's not my mother's business, you guys should handle your own family affairs, this is all later.

Jia Zhang, hurry up and take the money and finish up Mr. Cai's business first. They are all waiting here!"

Chen Jianghe's cup was empty again, so he asked Jia Zhangshi to refill it with another cup of tea.

Everyone saw that Chen Jianghe was here to seek justice for Old Cai, but the Jia family was really something, they even came up with the idea of ​​giving each family pension money.

Some middle-aged women were thinking that it was a good thing that their old ladies passed away early, otherwise they would have to give them pension money.

"Hey, what's so difficult about this? The old lady in the backyard gets five dollars a month. Why don't Jia Dongxu just give her that?"

Some residents started to make a fuss, saying that five dollars a month was enough to support a person. It all depended on what Dongxu and his wife had to say.

Jia Zhang took the cup and ran back to the house to get the money. It was five dollars a month!

She will be able to recover her losses soon and make a lot of money. This is a godsend!

In order to express her gratitude to Chen Jianghe, Jia Zhang directly made him another cup of tea, which was also very nutritious.

"Five dollars, isn't that a bit much? Sister Qin, how much is your monthly food allowance at the steel mill?"

Chen Jianghe asked casually, his wife's nominal food allowance was three or five yuan, but in fact she could spend as little as thirty yuan a month.

He didn't know what other people's standards were for their wives, and he wanted to hear about it.

"Ah, I save four dollars a month for food expenses, so I can have a full meal at noon."

Qin Huairu didn't know why Chen Jianghe suddenly asked this question, so she told the truth.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, someone just suggested that you get five dollars a month for food, just like the old lady in the backyard. What do you think about this?"

After sending Dongxu away, Chen Jianghe continued to drink tea and chat, which was much more relaxing than writing a report in the work area.

"I think it's good. Five dollars is enough."

Jia Zhang was honest. Five dollars was better than what the workers ate, so she had to be willing!

"Qin Huairu only gets four yuan for food expenses as a screwdriver every day. Do you think you are embarrassed to take five yuan?"

On the issue of courtyard houses, Chen Jianghe advocates giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date, and the main thing is that everyone is happy.

For example, the people involved tonight, Lao Cai is happy, Dongxu is happy, and Jia Zhangshi is almost happy too...

The only two unhappy ones were probably the two kids who stole the wheel, but they also received a reward for growing up:

A big shout-out from the parents!

"How about I take four too?"

Jia Zhang felt that what Chen Jianghe said made sense. She wanted to have some money for her old age, but she didn't want to be branded as a wicked mother-in-law!

Chen Jianghe said nothing. Silence was Cambridge at that moment.

Seeing that Chen Jianghe did not express his opinion, Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu:

"I say, Qin Huairu, I get the same four dollars a month as you do, is that okay?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu said:

"Mom, my salary is twenty-seven dollars and fifty dollars for food, so the remaining twenty-three dollars and fifty dollars is for supporting our family.

Do the math yourself. If I give you four dollars a month, there will be less than twenty dollars left.

In addition to buying food and vegetables, we also have to buy coal and pay electricity bills. Is this money enough?

This doesn’t even include the occasional headache or fever when you buy medicine, not to mention the holidays when you and your children buy cloth to make clothes…”

You wouldn’t know until you calculated it. Once Qin Huairu started to calculate, she almost cried. Why is life so difficult?

They are both wives of a siheyuan, so why does Lou Xiao'e live such a comfortable life?

She noticed that every time it was time for lunch at the steel mill, there was never any steamed bread in Lou Xiao'e's lunch box, only white flour for every meal!

This is nothing. The key is that as long as there is meat, Lou Xiao'e can eat it. What family can withstand eating like this!

Qin Huairu was almost going crazy with jealousy, but there was nothing she could do and she could only continue to eat the steamed bread in her bowl.

We all have to live our lives, and whether our lives are good or bad depends on ourselves. What else can we do? We can't change men temporarily.

"I understand what you said. Isn't it true that Dongxu can also make money? There are two earners in our family. You can't be unable to save money for my retirement."

Jia Zhang was not giving up. Chen Jianghe had given her this opportunity, and she had to seize it, otherwise it would not be so easy to talk about pension money in the future.

"Dongxu, you have to make money to pay off your debts. Don't you know that our family has borrowed money from the Third Uncle's Korean loan?"

"That's true, but how can helping each other be considered a loan from Korea? That's not very rigorous, Qin Huairu."

Yan Bugui was embarrassed. Qin Huairu had met many people since he started working in the factory. Was he always speaking so sharply?

"Uncle, I am very grateful that you helped Dongxu, but you can't stop people from telling the truth. Besides, Dongxu has also received your interest."

As the saying goes, whoever controls the economic power has the final say. Qin Huairu is a living example. He even dared to talk back to Yan Bugui.

"Okay, you're right, I won't say anything more, okay?"

Yan Bugui touched his nose and sat down angrily. What others said was right. No matter what, two cents a day cannot be less.

If he wants both, then he is just pretending to be a good person. You can't let people give you money and then cover their mouths so they can't speak. That's not humane.

"This, this... bad boy, no, Chen Jianghe, how much money do you think I should get?"

Jia Zhang was almost moved to Bengbu after being criticized by Qin Huairu. Why was it so difficult for her to save some money for her retirement?

"Wow! You're pushing it towards me again. Aren't you making me offend people, Jia Zhangshi?"

Chen Jianghe glanced at the pair of unfinished soles in Jia Zhang's hand and became interested in them.

"Ah! There are no outsiders around, and Dongxu still calls you brother!

He will definitely listen to you, but not necessarily to me.

My mother is old and her words are useless. She can't even get five dollars."

Jia Zhang took a look at the shoes on Chen Jianghe's feet and added:

"I see your shoes are getting old. Wait until I finish sewing this pair, and I'll send you a new pair!"

Qin Huairu was numb. She had never seen such a blatant transaction. They were discussing how to get money from her right in front of her.

"Hey! That's very polite. Aunt Jia, you are old and you want to have some money for your retirement. This is normal!

When people get older, they will have a sense of crisis about their future life. My mother has started saving money for her retirement, but the family expenses are high and she can't save enough.

Since Sister Qin only gets four yuan a month for food, why don't you just take three yuan? You can't get more money than someone who works hard to earn money!

Besides, you were still eating at home, and these three pieces were all your leftovers, but this matter cannot be decided by the two of us, it still needs to be decided by Sister Qin and Dongxu."

Chen Jianghe handed the question to Qin Huairu. Dongxu had not returned yet, so this person had the final say.

"Three pieces is fine. Dongxu can save the money by eating less meat noodles."
