Back then, a bowl of fresh, smooth, and sauce-rich rice noodles was her motivation to get up early to go to kindergarten and face the naughty kids.

Although the rice noodles I ate in the state-owned hotel today were made with simple ingredients, without the fancy fillings and tastes of later generations, they were just simple rice paste, eggs, minced pork, and taro. The finished rice noodles were topped with a fragrant and delicious secret sauce. The paste was just the right thickness, and the sauce was slightly sticky, making it particularly tempting to eat.

The minced pork sandwiched in the rice noodles was very sweet and chewy, and the taro shreds were a bit more glutinous, and the flavor was even better after absorbing the sauce.

I can't say anything else to praise it, I just know that the rice noodle made with simple ingredients is cooked just right.

Maybe marrying a state-owned chef is the right choice in this era.

Qin Rou added a small spoonful of chili sauce to the rice noodle and found that this secret chili sauce was more in line with her preferences. Although this chili sauce looked bright red, it was actually not spicy at all and was a bit sweet.

She liked this kind of spicy and slightly sweet chili sauce.

Qin Rou was very satisfied with the meal, and the two young guys beside her also ate a bowl of rice noodles with great relish. But for Lu Yan, a bowl of rice noodles was not enough to fill his teeth. While Qin Rou was eating rice noodles, he drank two bowls of seafood porridge and a basket of steamed buns.

Seeing Qin Rou adding chili sauce to her dish, Lu Yan guessed that the chili sauce was not spicy enough.

Let her try the chili sauce from Lao Wang's family later.

The boat will not leave until the night after tomorrow, so they can stay in Guangzhou for a while. This is also what Qin Rou deliberately requested. There is another option to go to Qiongzhou Island, which is to take a bus in Guangzhou to Xu County, and then take a boat to Qiongzhou Island, which only takes four or five hours.

Qin Rou wanted to stay in Guangcheng for two days, so...if she wanted to spend a day on the sea, then she would spend a day on the sea.

Qin Rou had studied in college here, and the city in front of her was familiar yet strange to her. Lu Yan bought a map of Guangcheng and said he would take her and the two children around.

"Whatever you need to buy, buy it here, and I'll ask someone to send it to the pier. When we get to the island later, some things won't be available because there aren't so many kinds."

Qin Rou nodded. What she wanted to buy the most was a camera, but she couldn't buy it with her own savings of one or two hundred yuan. If she wanted to buy it, she would need to use Lu Yan's money.

In addition to the scattered big group, cloth coupons, industrial coupons and the like, Lu Yan gave her that day, as well as 6,000 yuan in the passbook.

Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating. Compared to her, Lu Yan has saved a lot of money over the years.

He is the youngest in the family. His parents, brothers and sisters all have jobs and receive wages. Therefore, his family has basically no burden and does not need to send money home. He takes all the wage subsidies himself. Moreover, he does not have a wife or children. He lives and eats in the army, and has basically no living expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

For him, the biggest expense throughout the year is probably buying gifts for his parents, relatives and friends during festivals.

In addition to wages, their navy generally has other subsidies for sailing, island subsidies, border subsidies, etc. Although Qin Rou does not know the exact amount, she knows that the future subsidies for going to sea are calculated on an hourly basis. Given the difficult conditions now, it should not be too little.

So his monthly salary and allowance should not be less than 150 yuan, and it is very likely to reach 200 yuan, which is enough to support a family of four.

——He is really a rich son-in-law in this era.

So he foolishly gave all his money to her, but for him, it would not have much impact if he had no money, and he did not care about money.

Now Qin Rou has so much money in her hands. If she really wants to buy a camera, it will only take a few minutes. But if she really uses Lu Yan's money, Qin Rou feels embarrassed. Although

Lu Yan gave her the money, she can't spend it recklessly, let alone spending other people's money. It always feels weird. Qin Rou can't spend Lu Yan's money with peace of mind for the time being.

If she really wants to spend his money, she has to ask him in advance. They have agreed to live together and should spend money on the daily necessities of life. But she wanted to buy a camera from the beginning. She doesn't look like a woman who knows how to live.

Would a man like Lu Yan, who was a bit chauvinistic in the 1970s, be uncomfortable with her behavior?

Qin Rou: "..."

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Rou suddenly realized that as a wife, it would not be a good thing for the old princess to hand over the salary. After all, it was still his money, and he could cancel your housekeeper rights at any time. In the future,

you have to ask him about your expenses, and you will not have the freedom to spend. You may be busy for most of the day and be a housekeeper seriously, but he still complains that you are wasting money.

No wonder they say marriage is the grave of love. The daily necessities after marriage are just a bunch of trivialities.

Before marriage, you are willing to spend all kinds of money on gifts to pursue your girlfriend, but after marriage, you are not in charge of the household and don’t know how expensive daily necessities are, and you are disgusted with your spending.

It’s okay if they have a foundation of love, not to mention that they have no foundation of love.

Qin Rou thought of the passbook, and now she felt it was a hot potato. She wanted to return the hot potato to him, and let him manage the money himself.

When she arrived on Qiongzhou Island, she had to find a job as soon as possible, and then find a way to make more money. It was still the most comfortable to make money to support herself.

She'd better run a vegetable garden and plant a few fruit trees at the door of her house. She must plant pineapples and longans, and a few mango trees to green the road.

...Imagination is always beautiful, provided that it can be grown. In fact, Qin Rou has never really grown anything in the field before. She has only studied balcony planting in depth. Her greatest achievement is that she spent thousands of dollars to grow a pot of big red strawberries. Qin Rou

just built a small greenhouse on the balcony, and she DIY drip irrigation, studying temperature, moisture and nutrition every day.

They are kindergarten teachers, so they are more serious and have hands-on skills.

This pot of big strawberries was picked by her. She ate a meal of strawberries and wanted to vomit. Although the strawberries she grew were big and red, they were not very sweet. They were barely delicious.

Finally... after careful calculation, the input and the harvest are not enough to cover the expenses. It can only be said that the fun of planting is satisfied, and it can also be taken to the kindergarten to let the children "wow", praising the big and red strawberries grown by Teacher Qin!

This damn desire for victory.

After that, I took all the children in the kindergarten to the organic strawberry greenhouse to experience the strawberry picking activity. In the end, I ate too many strawberries. For a while, I had a psychological shadow when I saw strawberries.

Because the kindergarten has to carry out planting experience activities for children, learning to plant various fruits and vegetables is the relevant knowledge that their teachers need to understand. She has read many books on planting. Of course, it is mainly theory rather than practice.

After all, the purpose of teaching is just to take children to experience planting. It is impossible to really live on the harvest like the farmers.

In the past, she could support herself by collecting rent, and she could have money to do whatever she wanted to experience planting. But now she has no money, and she really has to rely on herself to get what she sows.

It's quite sad to think so, but also a little exciting. There are gains and losses. In the future, land will be very expensive. Who can give you a place to plant fruit trees and vegetable gardens?

Qin Rou decided to go to Qiongzhou Island with Lu Yan. She also thought about her future plans. Now the economy is tight, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, Qin Rou really doesn't have any business acumen. She can't make money by trading on the black market. After all, she has been a soldier before. It's better not to do illegal crimes at this time.

In the future, I can call my sister and brother-in-law over first. After seven or eight years, I may be able to contract land to plant a mango plantation, build a few sea view houses, a sea view or hot spring hotel, a wedding photography center, and then go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to buy a few commercial houses or build a small building...

Well, these are too far away.

I'd better live well for now.

- She wants to buy a camera.

The sea view at this time is not worth much, not even as valuable as the fish, shrimp and shellfish in the sea. Of course, these are not worth much either. Although life is hard, people living by the sea can eat abalone and king shrimp with tears.

In the 1970s, no one came to the seaside for vacation. The coconut beach without commercial development must be very beautiful. It's a long and winding beach. It would be a shame not to take pictures.

Moreover, she had a subtle thought in her mind. She wanted Lu Yan's photo. Now she had a black and white camera, so she would take black and white photos. In the future, she would take color photos with a color camera.

Qin Rou mustered up her courage and discussed with Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, I want to buy a camera."

"You have been hesitant for most of the time. If you want to buy it, just buy it. Why are you so petty?"

Lu Yan regretted it a little after he said this, wondering if his tone was not very good just now.

He just saw Qin Rou's hesitant expression, and thought she was worried about something, which made him nervous, thinking that she was unwilling to go to Qiongzhou Island with him, but who knew that she just wanted to buy a camera.

——That's it?

So he couldn't help but speak out.

But, Lu Yan, silence is golden.

Qin Rou: "..."

??? I'm petty? When I start spending money, you will know what a spendthrift woman is.

It's your money that's being spent, Mr. Lu!

"Then I bought it?"

Lu Yan touched his nose, coughed, and said concisely: "Buy it."

Afraid that Qin Rou would not dare to buy it, he added a few more sentences: "When we get to the island, it will be troublesome to transport back and forth, and some things you want to buy will not be available."

"Buy everything you think you need, don't save money."

"If you buy it now, it can be sent to the dock. I will ask someone to move it onto the boat. There will be a truck to transport it back to the island. If you wait, it may not be so convenient. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly." Lu Yan chose to board the boat at Guangzhou Wharf to Qiongzhou Island. He planned to let Qin Rou buy everything she needed in the big city of Guangzhou.

You can't live on the island naked.

In the past, he was a bachelor and didn’t need to bring anything. Now that he is married and has a wife, things are different. He can’t go empty-handed.

Lu Yan didn’t know what Qin Rou needed, so he gave her the money and let her choose.

“Then I can buy whatever I want?”

“Go ahead, but don’t be so shy and don’t ask me every time you buy something.” I can’t stand it.

Qin Rou: “…”

She suddenly realized that Lu Yan’s tone of voice seemed to have changed a little, different from the calm, down-to-earth and concise Lu officer. Just now, he half-mockingly said “too shy”, “so petty?”, “let me take a look at this thing?”… Why did he sound so arrogant and even a little bit asking for a beating?

She couldn’t help but want to fight back.

OK! Buy, that's what he said!!

Qin Rou was no longer being pretentious at this time, she understood that Lu Yan was right, since she was going to live on the island, there was really no need to be pretentious at this time, the serious thing to do was to quickly buy everything she needed.

Even if they allocated a house there, it was impossible for you to move in with all your appliances, so you had to prepare daily necessities in advance.

After changing her mindset, Qin Rou now threw her two kids to Lu Yan and started to spend money out of revenge, but it was not because she considered her future life and felt that she had to buy all kinds of things.

Not to mention the camera, shouldn't she prepare other pots and pans, beddings and blankets first? There were also oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other sauces such as star anise, pepper, and Sichuan pepper. She also thought of buying the Li Ji oyster sauce that was unique to Guangdong at that time. She also wanted to buy a few small clay pots here for clay pot rice and soup in the future.

She spent some time to buy late rice and thin long rice, and accidentally got some litchi firewood. She even asked the chef of the state-owned hotel to privately exchange some sausage and chili sauce.

... Anyway, she wanted everything she could think of.

Lu Yan was carrying two children and saw that she bought a lot of things, including pots, but she forgot to buy a rolling pin.

So he helped to buy a wooden rolling pin. After buying it, he thought that a beautiful woman like his wife might like beautiful rolling pins, so he bought two jade rolling pins.
