Liu Qiao just said that. Seeing Chen Yun's expression, he said with a smile, "You are right. Please help me plan my salary as well."

In the past, Chen Yun had never thought about managing his money. Even if Feng Yu told her about it, she didn't take it seriously. The main reason was that when she was young, Liu Qiao gave her the impression of being a ruffian, that is, a man with plenty of money, lots of money, and a lot of friends. Now that he took the initiative to bring it up, Chen Yun accepted it without hesitation: "Okay, I will definitely help you manage your money."

"Come here, little housekeeper, give me a kiss." Liu Qiao made a gesture to come over.

Chen Yun ran everywhere, and the two of them chased each other, filling the house with laughter.

After all, they were a young couple, and Chen Yun had just experienced sex and was very curious about that kind of thing. Liu Qiao was not one to hold back, and the two of them got together again in no time.

After finishing the work, Chen Yun discussed business with him: "When are we going to Hongqi Primary School? Also, the sister-in-law of Deputy Battalion Commander Gao from the 303rd Battalion next door is going to treat us the day after tomorrow. What do you think we should give her?"

Even though he's my neighbor, I can't just show up empty-handed. That would be so rude.

Liu Qiao is quite experienced in this regard: "Just buy some fruits. It's too expensive to carry cigarettes and alcohol. It's not good." Before, when he brought cigarettes, he would only give one pack per person at most. If he carried these things solemnly and let others see it, it would be bad.

Chen Yun nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xiaofang next door was also planning what to cook. Her husband Gao Guobin was a taciturn man, but a very upright person. He said he would treat everyone, but he really wanted to buy enough fish and meat to cook for everyone.

"Xiaofang, um, buy some beer too."

Zhu Xiaofang smiled and said, "I don't know about that yet."

After she finished speaking, she nudged Gao Guobin again and said, "By the way, Guobin, I will be going to Hongqi Primary School in a few days. The children are on winter vacation, so I may not be able to enter this year. Next year, I want to teach there and then open a cram school. What do you think?"

The Gao family is considered a wealthy family in the village, but outside the village, they are considered very poor. Who wouldn't be jealous of Chen Yun, who lives next door, who has all kinds of electrical appliances? If she had never used any of them before, it would be fine, but she came from the modern era, when there was nothing, and she also wanted to make her life a little better.

Who knew Gao Guobin said: "Don't bother yourself, the salary of a teacher is not low, and I also get an allowance every month, which is enough for the two of us to spend."

Gao Guobin was good in every way except that he was old-fashioned and opposed new things. In his opinion, having a stable job and taking care of children was enough, which was much better than Zhu Xiaofang's previous job as a substitute teacher in the countryside. At least this time, he was able to implement his work in the military organization.

Since her husband did not support her, Zhu Xiaofang had to give up for the time being. She was different from Chen Yun. She was bought by the Gao family with a huge dowry. This time, the task given to her by Gao's mother was to get pregnant as soon as possible. She had no autonomy to a large extent, so she could only save some money after she started working, and then start her own business.

The 1990s was a time of gold rush, and she should have made some achievements after such a journey. Besides, the economic foundation always determines the upper structure, and only when the economy is good can one have a say in the family. Gao Guobin may like her now, but he does not respect her opinions very much.

Chen Yun got up the next day and cooked some porridge in a rice cooker. The feeling of using a rice cooker is just great. Just throw rice and water in and forget about it. It will be ready on its own.

I was out every day for the past two days, so I just ate a little bit when I came back. Fortunately, I brought some pickled vegetables from my hometown. It seems that I have to go out to buy vegetables today. I heard from Chen Dafen that there is a small market near the military area, and Chen Yun also wanted to go there to take a look and learn about the situation.

Zhu Xiaofang knocked on the door early in the morning. Chen Yun opened the door and saw her carrying a plate of dumplings. "Sister Xiaofang, no need. I'm cooking porridge right now. You can save it for lunch."

"Okay, stop refusing. I made this this morning. Let you have a taste. Bring the plate over quickly. I have to send some to Sister Dafen." Zhu Xiaofang found out last night that her neighbor Chen Yun would also be teaching at Hongqi Primary School. In the future, the two of them would be both colleagues and neighbors. They would definitely spend a lot of time together, so it would be good to get to know each other well in advance.

Originally, she thought Chen Yun was a very honest and smiling person, but she didn't expect that she had her own plans. On the train, she asked her about her job after joining the army, and she said she didn't know yet, but in fact, she already had an idea in her mind.

Chen Yun didn't get the gift for free. She packed a small bag of mackerel she had brought with her and gave it to her. "It only needs to be stewed for a while. Take it home and try it."

"Look at me. I originally came to give you something, but ended up taking your things." Zhu Xiaofang said playfully.

Chen Yun pushed her and said, "It's only courtesy!"

After closing the door, Chen Yun put down the dumplings and planned to wait for Liu Qiao to come back and make fried dumplings for her. Just as she sat down, she heard a knock on the door. Chen Dafen said to her, "There are things sent from your family in the reception room. I just came up and helped to take them."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Chen Yun took a look and thought it was sent by her mother-in-law.

Chen Dafen smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Your suitcase is really heavy. By the way, are you getting ready to go out?"

Chen Yun nodded: "Yes, I want to go to the nearby area and buy some vegetables. Although I have a lot of dry goods at home, I still need to eat some vegetables and eggs."

"Then wait for me for a while, I'll go with you." Chen Dafen quickly went home to get the basket, and just in time she saw Zhu Xiaofang carrying dumplings to her house. Chen Dafen also invited her, but Zhu Xiaofang said, "I went there yesterday, so I'm not going today."

The main reason was that she had almost spent all her money, and when Chen Dafen saw that she was not going, she went with Chen Yun.

The small market near the military area is where nearby farmers come to buy vegetables or eggs. There are also a few stalls selling noodles and buns. The market is very scattered. On a main road, vegetable stalls can be 300 meters apart. This is hard to imagine in Jiangcheng.

In the winter, cabbage is the most popular item. Chen Yun carried a few cabbages, some tomatoes, cut some fresh meat, bought 20 eggs, and added some green onions, ginger, garlic, etc. She couldn't carry anymore. She weighed some fruits and took a long rest after carrying one step. Chen Dafen joked when she saw her like this: "I thought you were quite strong, but I didn't expect you to have so little strength."

Chen Yun felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, her biggest concern was being fat. Although she was not very fat now, she would inevitably look a little plump when standing next to skinny people like Zhu Xiaofang and Chen Dafen.

However, Chen Dafen was just a bit outspoken, and she had no ill intentions. She even took the initiative to help her carry the basket, so Chen Yun didn't hold a grudge. People are very polite when they first get to know each other, so they only see each other's strengths. But after a long time, each other's personalities are revealed, and that's when the real running-in begins. This is true for couples, friends, and even more so for the relationship between military wives.

When we got home, the porridge was ready. Chen Yun made some vinegar-fried cabbage shreds, fried an egg with green onions, and cut the pork belly in half and fried some green peppers. This was a very satisfying breakfast.

In the afternoon, Liu Qiao called over a craftsman who was going to help them install the drain of the washing machine. Chen Yun couldn't go out either. Zhu Xiaofang next door moved the stove outside the door and was braising vegetables. Chen Yun watched the door and talked to her while standing at the door.

"It smells so good. I'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow on an empty stomach."

Zhu Xiaofang smiled and said, "That's right, this is my unique secret." Before she traveled through time, she worked part-time to earn money for her studies in a private restaurant. The master liked her very much, so he taught her a few tricks. Otherwise, according to her original self, Zhu Xiaofang, who was afraid of hard work, relied on her good looks, and was lazy and slack, she would not have been able to do these.

He chatted and laughed with Zhu Xiaofang for a while.

Chen Yun went into the room and took out the things Feng Yu had sent her. There were two large jars of honey, no wonder they were so heavy. There were also red ginseng, longan, and wolfberry, basically all tonics.

She patted her head and realized she had forgotten to buy a chicken. When she was in Jiangcheng, she used to eat a black chicken or an old hen every week to replenish her blood.

When the old master finished repairing the machine in the afternoon, Chen Yun tried the washing machine and found it was working properly. She took her wallet and went to the market. Unexpectedly, there was no one there. Fortunately, someone next to her told her that there would be a big market in two days and many people would come here to sell things. Chen Yun was relieved.

Now that the washing machine was ready for use, she threw all the clothes she had accumulated over the past few days into it to wash. Of course, she washed her underwear by hand to save time and effort.

After washing the clothes, she had nothing to do and remembered her work, so she took her documents and went to Hongqi Primary School. Although it was winter vacation here, there were still people working in the administrative building.

The person who received her was a middle-aged bald man who was also the director of the school's academic affairs office. Chen Yun gave him her information. She originally wanted to look around here, but she was lucky enough to be able to apply for a transfer certificate.

"Teacher Chen, if you come later, there will be no one in the administration building."

Chen Yun smiled awkwardly. The Dean of Academic Affairs, whose surname was Lin, told her about the current vacancies in the school. Chen Yun did what Liu Qiao said without thinking, "After all, I am not a professional teacher, nor did I graduate from a normal school. I think I can just teach a minor subject."

Director Lin is very satisfied with her awareness of current affairs. There is no shortage of main subject teachers here, and deputy subject teachers have little impact on them. Moreover, the deputy subject teachers do not have as high salaries as the main subject teachers, and their influence on the teaching progress is not too great.

Their Red Flag Primary School has children from military areas, students from suburban areas, and even children from rural areas. Local teachers know how to manage them, but teachers from other places can't even understand the local dialect of Longcheng, so how can they convince the children? Moreover, teaching is not about how knowledgeable you are, but also about whether you can teach others.

"Well, okay, then Teacher Chen will teach the third graders about ideology and morality. What do you think?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Then Chen Yun confirmed the time to report, and when she came back she saw Zhu Xiaofang at the stairs, and reminded her: "Sister Xiaofang, have you reported to Hongqi Primary School? Today is their last day, so if you want to go, hurry up."

Zhu Xiaofang had been thinking about treating the soldiers to a meal when she first arrived, but she hadn't expected this. When she saw Chen Yun coming back with her school badge, she complained, "Why didn't you tell me you were going?"

We live next door to each other, and I even brought her some dumplings this morning. I was being very nice to her by not even reminding her of this small thing.
