Daily life of a young couple in 60's Hutong

Chapter 1-10

Chapter 1

After Zhao Lei closed the door, he rushed to the bed and said, "Wife, let's calculate how many red envelopes we received."

He still remembered that when they got married, the red envelopes they received immediately made the couple's family wealth richer.

Really looking forward to it, Zhao Lei kept rubbing his hands, humming songs, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Compared to the man's expectant expression, Wang Juan's smile was a polite one, "Don't have any expectations."

Huh? Zhao Lei didn't understand. They were so excited to open the red envelopes last time, why did his wife have this expression now?

Wang Juan asked Zhao Lei to go and check the bed himself. The latter looked down at the banknotes on the bed and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Wife, I said no." Without even picking up the money to count, Zhao Lei immediately knew how much money there was.

"That's only three yuan and eighty-five cents." Zhao Lei was stunned.

Wang Juan nodded, "Yes, that's all. It's the gift money from your parents and your two brothers."

Wang Juan took a deep breath and said, "You said that when your brother and sister-in-law got married, you didn't work and didn't give any gift money."

"But after you started working, you turned over all your income, saying it was for living expenses and that it was saved for your wedding."

"This is a special situation. We can give out wedding candies to everyone. All of this is fine."

"As a result, you can see that our furniture is all old ones replaced by your family. The furniture you made before is either in your eldest brother's or second brother's room."

Wang Juan also knew that these words would irritate Zhao Lei, but if she didn't nod now, she might suffer more in the future.

Zhao Lei looked at his angry wife and hugged her, "Wife, you won't forget the level of your man, me?"

"I was able to take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the past, there is no reason why I can't take you to live a good life now."

Zhao Lei patted his chest and promised again and again that he would make sure Wang Juan lived a happy life.

"It's not like I don't know that they are partial." Zhao Lei also thought at first that as the youngest son, he should at least be pampered, even if he wasn't the most favored.

As a result, the eldest son was highly valued, and the old man personally brought him to work in the machinery factory and taught him skills little by little.

My favorite child is the second one, so I used all my connections and spent a lot of money to find him a good job.

"My grades are better than Zhao Liang's, but my dad said that our family has no money. It's not that we don't have money, but that my eldest brother needs money to get married and have children."

"My second brother spent a lot of money to find a job again." Zhao Lei looked at the ceiling, "We had agreed that he would get married two years later after he got a job."

"As a result, he fell in love with Zhang Nini not long after he started working. He said he would hand over his salary to me, so I don't have to spend money to pursue my girlfriend?"

"That little money is not enough for him to spend."

"When I graduate from middle school, my family won't be able to send me to school, otherwise my sister-in-law will complain and say that all the money was spent on us brothers."
