There was still 3128.5 cents left.

He still had three thousand.

Gu Weizhou touched his nose sheepishly: "I know this amount of money is nothing to you, but it's all I've saved up over the years. In the army, food and drink are free, and the army pays for all my clothes, shoes, and socks. I don't have many expenses, so I've saved it all up just waiting for you to spend it."

“Before I was the regimental commander, my monthly allowance and benefits were not high. Now that I’ve been promoted, I can only get 124 yuan a month. Once I get more seniority, I will get more each month.” Gu Weizhou was afraid that Ruan Yunxi would look down on this amount of money.

Ruan Yunxi smiled and said, "You're already very capable. This amount of money is enough."

No wonder people say that when eating vegetables, you should eat the heart of the cabbage, and when marrying a man, you should marry a soldier of the People's Liberation Army.

Ruan Yunxi didn't realize it before, but now she understands.

Even in Shanghai, an ordinary worker only earns thirty or forty yuan a month, and that depends on their rank.

If she were to go to the countryside, let alone earn thirty or forty yuan, she would be lucky to even have enough to eat, let alone receive the 124 yuan allowance.

Fortunately, she is a capitalist's daughter with a wealthy family background and an ancestral space. The supplies she has stockpiled are enough for her to eat for eight to ten years, so she is not afraid of going hungry.

Now someone has generously handed over the allowance he's saved up over the years, giving her another huge sum of money.

In an era when the average wage was only thirty or forty yuan, how could a savings of more than three thousand yuan not be considered a huge sum of money!

Unexpectedly, this man is so wealthy. No wonder Jiang Mingyue shamelessly clung to him, even sacrificing her job to break them up. She's clearly eyeing Gu Weizhou, this hot commodity.

In addition to allowances, there was also a welfare book that recorded how many grain coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons, and sugar coupons one could receive each month. These were all the living benefits for officers.

Although not much, in this era of scarcity, the benefits that military families could enjoy were already at the highest level.

Even though Ruan Yunxi had stockpiled a lot of rice, flour, oil, candy, chocolate, biscuits, and all sorts of trendy appliances in her space, she didn't mind what was rightfully hers.

Ruan Yunxi accepted the money with a smile and promised, "I'll tell you how much it will cost in the future."

Gu Weizhou shook his head: "No need to tell me, spend it however you want. If it's not enough, I'll just do a few more missions. We also get subsidies for our missions."

Ruan Yunxi asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Gu Weizhou remained silent.

Ruan Yunxi understood; all missions are dangerous, and he was risking his own safety to earn subsidies.

Ruan Yunxi wasn't someone who only cared about money, so she refused: "You don't need to go on missions for me. This money is enough for us. There are only two of us, and we can eat meat every day without spending it all. Don't take risks, and don't risk your safety for the sake of subsidies."

Her concern made Gu Weizhou feel as if his heart was soaking in honey water, and he smiled happily: "You care about me?"

“You’re my husband, of course I care about you!” Ruan Yunxi said matter-of-factly.

Gu Weizhou couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, which curled up high: "Yeah, I'll listen to my wife. I'll do the tasks she assigns, and I won't rush to do the tasks that aren't assigned."

Ruan Yunxi nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Weizhou pushed the money she hadn't even counted over to him: "Keep this money and these tickets; you can spend them anytime."

Ruan Yunxi nodded, counted, and found a total of 119.35, plus 50 jin of grain coupons, 20 jin of meat coupons, 10 meters of cloth coupons, and 3 jin of sugar coupons. The previous sugar coupons had all been used to buy candy, which would be distributed to the people who came to congratulate them at home tomorrow.

All the industrial vouchers were used to buy a television.

If Ruan Yunxi wants to buy small appliances, Gu Weizhou will continue to hoard industrial vouchers.

Ruan Yunxi noticed Gu Weizhou staring at her, then looked at the money in her hand and remembered what he had said about pocket money.

He took out five yuan from a stack of bills and gave it to him: "How can a grown man like you only have fifty cents on him? I'll give you five yuan every month for pocket money. You can spend it as you please. If you run out, you'll have to wait until next month."

Gu Weizhou nodded happily: "Okay, I definitely won't spend it recklessly."
