The Leisure Life in the 1970s

Chapter 14 14, Beijing

At 3:30 pm, after two days and two nights of suffering, Qiao Zhenzhen and her group finally arrived at Beijing.

Today's Beijing is not as prosperous and majestic as imagined. It can only be regarded as a slightly better medium-sized city. The streets are full of low houses. Most people are wearing patched clothes. There are few cars. Most people ride bicycles, and there are also many tricycles. Anyway, the whole place gives people a gray feeling.

To be honest, Qiao Zhenzhen was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that as the capital of the country, Beijing would look like this. No wonder the country is going to implement reform and opening up immediately. It can't do without development. China's current strength is indeed far behind that of Europe and the United States. However, Qiao Zhenzhen knows that it won't be long before China will return to the world's number one.

However, the problem that needed to be solved urgently was to find a guesthouse, take a good shower and change clothes, or she would stink!

With the introduction letter and marriage certificate, Song Jin booked a single room in the guesthouse, and then the family took a shower and changed clothes, and then ran to the state-owned hotel together, ready to have a good meal.

They were lucky. The hotel provided roast duck today. Qiao Zhenzhen directly ordered two, and then ordered a boiled pork slice, braised eggplant, and a winter melon and pork ribs soup, with fragrant rice. The family was particularly satisfied with the meal.

Of course, this meal cost a lot. Qiao Zhenzhen was not short of money, so she didn't care. However, as the head of the family, Song Jin didn't want to eat free rice, so he paid for the dinner in the evening. There are also the expenses along the way and the money for staying in the guesthouse. In short, as long as he is present, Song Jin will actively pay the bill.

Before going to bed at night, Qiao Zhenzhen asked him: "Do you think I spend money lavishly?"

"Of course not," Song Jin looked up at her and answered seriously, "Zhenzhen, don't worry about this problem. You can live the same way as before. I know that I don't make much money now, but you believe me, give me some time, I will take good care of you and our sons."

Looking into Song Jin's eyes, Qiao Zhenzhen knew that he really didn't think there was a problem with her spending. Instead, he was worried that he didn't make enough money and couldn't satisfy the lives of them.

Qiao Zhenzhen kissed Song Jin happily and said, "Don't worry, I believe in your ability. You will be able to support your family in the future. However, I still have some money now, so I can bear the family expenses first. When you can earn money to support your family in the future, you can pay me back."

Song Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with Qiao Zhenzhen's words. Instead, he was a little moved. He agreed immediately and asked a little embarrassedly, "How much money do we have now?"

"I haven't counted it either, probably 50,000 or 60,000."

Song Jin: !!!

In addition to the 18 yuan allowance for college, Song Jin also has a job as a teaching assistant in the Department of Physics. It is a part-time job, so the salary is not as much as that of a formal teaching assistant. It is only 35 yuan a month. This is because the department head values ​​him and specially applied for him. In total, Song Jin has 53 yuan a month, which is considered quite a lot by most people.

But, compared with Qiao Zhenzhen, Song Jin suddenly lost his confidence. He never thought that his wife could make so much money by speculation. He thought it was only a few hundred yuan at most. He has really become a gigolo now...
