Actually, calling it pocket money isn't quite right, but that's the only way Chen Zhaodi could think of.
Previously, when Huang Qinqin was in charge of buying groceries and cooking, Chen Zhaodi did not give her any extra money besides the cost of the groceries.
But Wang Yingxue is different. First, although Wang Yingxue has married into their family, she is still not their biological daughter.
Since it's a lot of work for others to buy groceries and cook at home, we can't just take it for granted that they're doing all that work for free.
Secondly, Huang Qinqin had already started earning royalties even when she was in high school. Since she could earn her own money, whether or not she received royalties didn't make much difference.
But Wang Yingxue was different; she married into the family alone and had no job.
If you don't have any money on hand, you can't just ask Huang Jianguo for every thing you want to buy, can you?
As for whether Huang Jianguo's salary should be given to Wang Yingxue, Chen Zhaodi would not interfere.
When Wang Yingxue first heard that she would start buying groceries and cooking the next day, she was just a little nervous.
But she was surprised to see that Chen Zhaodi had given her all the money for the groceries.
In the countryside, newlywed brides generally have no say in the kitchen, let alone control the finances.
Now, in the Huang family's area, each person only pays 5 yuan a month. So, with four people in the family, each person would have 20 yuan for groceries!
That's way too much!
Wang Yingxue was deeply shocked, thinking to herself: No wonder they gave a dowry of fifty yuan without batting an eye.
It turns out her dowry was only enough for a few months' worth of groceries...
Then Wang Yingxue heard Chen Zhaodi say that she would give her five yuan of pocket money every month, and she perked up completely.
Gratefully, she exclaimed loudly, "Thank you, Mom!"
Then Wang Yingxue thought for a moment and figured that Chen Zhaodi must have discussed it with Huang Eryuan, so she said gratefully, "Thank you, Dad!"
Huang Jianguo saw that she had thanked her parents, and assumed she would thank him as well. However, he sat up straight for a while, but she didn't thank him.
I glanced to the side and saw that Wang Yingxue was already engrossed in eating.
Huang Jianguo: ......
After dinner, Wang Yingxue prepared to wash the dishes, but Chen Zhaodi pulled her aside and said, "Yingxue, housework is something everyone shares."
"From now on, you'll be in charge of grocery shopping and cooking, and we'll take turns washing the dishes. Go wash up first."
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower now."
Wang Yingxue thought that the reason Chen Zhaodi and the others didn't have to wash the dishes the other day was because they treated her like a guest.
It turns out that people in the city are so easy to get along with. Not only did they not look down on her, but they were also willing to share the housework.
Not to mention distant places, even in Wang Yingxue's uncle's family, it was Wang Yingxue and her aunt who were responsible for the housework.
Uncle Wang and his two cousins were mostly responsible for things like chopping wood.
After taking a shower, Wang Yingxue habitually went back to Huang Qinqin's room.
Seeing this, Huang Jianguo quickly pulled her back. Although he was a little shy, he still reminded her, "Yingxue, we've already registered our marriage."
"Oh? Hmm! I remember, we got our marriage certificate this morning."
Wang Yingxue looked at him with a smile and told him that she hadn't forgotten.
However, it was clear that Wang Yingxue had not understood Huang Jianguo's subtext at all.
However, this is not Wang Yingxue's fault, because her aunt and the others forgot to tell her what would happen after she got married.
After we got our marriage certificate this morning, the Civil Affairs Bureau did give us a book with some instructions.
However, Huang Jianguo glanced at it, felt embarrassed, and immediately hid the book, not letting Wang Yingxue see it at all.
Seeing that Wang Yingxue still didn't understand, Huang Jianguo simply gave up and said, "We've already registered our marriage, so you should move into my room."
Should we move to Huang Jianguo's room?
Wang Yingxue was about to say that men and women should not touch each other when she remembered that they were now husband and wife.
Having roughly guessed what was going to happen next, Wang Yingxue's face instantly turned red.
She nodded hurriedly, "I understand. I'll go pack my luggage first."
After saying that, he went straight into Huang Qinqin's room.
Seeing that she had agreed, Huang Jianguo felt relieved and went to wash up.
It wasn't that Huang Jianguo was in a hurry, but rather that Chen Zhaodi had kicked Huang Jianjun out of the house so that things would go smoothly for them tonight.
If Huang Jianguo messes up at a crucial moment, he will definitely get a good scolding from Chen Zhaodi.
After entering the room, Wang Yingxue immediately squatted down and covered her face.
She is now both embarrassed and regretful.
She was shy because she had only a vague understanding of what was about to happen, but her intuition told her she would be shy.
She regretted it because she hadn't eaten more food.
Back in the village, Wang Yingxue had overheard other women chatting, saying that the wedding night was the most exhausting.
Unless you marry a good-looking but useless person, your wedding night will be more tiring than the autumn harvest!
Wang Yingxue was extremely nervous. What if it was even more tiring than the autumn harvest?
She fainted from hunger last year because she didn't eat enough during the autumn harvest. Will she faint from hunger tonight too?
After Huang Jianguo finished showering, he still didn't see Wang Yingxue in the room, so he went to knock on the door again.
When Wang Yingxue heard the knock on the door, she realized that she had been lost in thought for so long.
She quickly replied, "I'll be done soon, you can go back to your room first."
After packing her things, Wang Yingxue took deep breaths and kept telling herself: There's nothing to be afraid of, this is all normal.
After Wang Yingxue entered the room, Huang Jianguo first helped her put away her luggage.
Then he blew out the candles, pulled Wang Yingxue to bed to rest, and their wedding night began.
—Turn off the light, and the rest is up to your imagination, dear readers!
In the middle of the night, Wang Yingxue woke up hungry.
Because Huang Jianguo worked too hard last night, Wang Yingxue was exhausted, comparable to when she was in the village during the autumn harvest.
So Wang Yingxue, who was already hungry, couldn't possibly last until the next morning when she could eat breakfast.
She was starting to feel weak in her hands and feet. She had initially thought it was because of Huang Jianguo or something, so she hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now she was certain that she was so hungry that her limbs were weak, and if she didn't eat something soon, she would faint from hunger.
Wang Yingxue remembered that Chen Zhaodi had told her that there were pastries in the cabinets in the kitchen.
She also told Wang Yingxue to get food for herself whenever she was hungry.
Wang Yingxue glanced at Huang Jianguo, who was still fast asleep, then quietly got out of bed and left the room.
It was a bit dark at night, and Wang Yingxue couldn't see the road clearly. Not daring to light a candle, she could only carefully grope her way forward.
After finally getting out of the room, just as she was about to enter the kitchen, Wang Yingxue accidentally knocked over a stool.
Snap!
The sound of the stool falling to the ground wasn't very loud, but it was particularly noticeable in the quiet of the night.
