Chapter 5: The Wife of the Fifties (5)

  Every few days, the family would go out to buy meat tickets to buy meat and fine grains, and to buy malted milk, candy, biscuits, etc.

  Lin Jin not only dressed herself fashionably, but also dressed her husband up. It was good enough for the couple to save twenty or thirty yuan from their wages every month.

  "Here, the money in our family, plus the one thousand you gave me before, after paying off the foreign debt, is all here!" Lin Jin pushed an iron box over, "A total of more than one thousand eight hundred and sixty."

  "Actually, I don't think Zhu Yun may know how much bonus you got in college. Your classmates are also very secretive about this aspect."

  "Anyway, you were assigned here after graduation, and it's hard to find the previous information. Let's just say that you used to get thirty or forty yuan, and you mailed it all home!"

  "When you first started working, the salary was not high, about sixty or seventy yuan, and you've only gotten more than eighty in the past two years. It's okay as long as it's about right, and there's no need to deduct a few yuan in bonuses."

  "That makes it two thousand three hundred and seventy, which is one thousand less. And this is a large amount. Even if she reports it to the leader, she may not be able to get much!"

  "Didn't you mail a lot of money home before? This includes Zhu Yun's money. You have to ask your mother to take out at least one thousand yuan, right?"

  "It doesn't make sense that you are the only son of your parents, and you should take a few dozen yuan as filial piety every month and still bully other people's wives! You must have mailed back at least three or four thousand yuan in those years. Your family has land and lives in the countryside, so the expenses are not high."

  "We don't want much, just one thousand yuan. Besides, if your mother hadn't been free to find you a wife in the countryside, we wouldn't have to do this."

  "Our situation is special now. I have someone else to spend money on. I can't give all my savings to Zhu Yun?"

  "When we get through this, I will mail ten more yuan home every month."

  Wang Xianbing was moved and held Lin Jin's hand, sighing: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

  Lin Jin chuckled and leaned her head on his shoulder, but her eyes were cold. She continued softly: "Anyway, we both get paid, and things that can be solved with money are not a problem."

  "The work residence is easy to solve, and the house is actually not difficult."

  Wang Xianbing couldn't help asking: "Jinjin, do you have a good idea?"

  She nodded, holding his big hand and playing with it like a child: "Our machinery factory was transferred directly from the army, not in the city. There are many villages nearby. Isn't the Tianhe Commune only separated from our factory by a wall?"

  "There is also a small door there for family members to go to the commune to exchange some fruits, vegetables and eggs. The conditions in the commune are not bad. We can buy a small yard for Zhu Yun there, which can keep her away from us and avoid trouble. It is also a familiar environment for her to grow some vegetables in the yard and save expenses."

  Wang Xianbing nodded repeatedly after listening, "This is a good idea. Our director's wife also wants to buy a yard in the commune. The director said that she has the conditions but doesn't know how to enjoy them."
