Chapter 10: Best Conditions (Page 1/2)

The matter of following the army is indeed something that should be considered first.

"It's still early." Jiang's father said, feeling a little reluctant.

Zhou Guiyun didn't say anything, because if it worked out, her daughter would have to go with the army. How could it be possible for a young couple to be separated?

It’s not like we don’t have the conditions. If you have the conditions, just join the army!

Jiang Qian also said, "If it works out, I will definitely go with the army. I don't want to live with a long-distance couple. But my job may be freed up, Third Sister-in-law, do you want to take over?"

She is not the type of person who is indecisive, and she feels that if she misses Han Shiguo, it may be difficult for her to meet someone more handsome and more suitable for her eyes in her current circle, so if there are no major problems with his character, she really wants to marry him.

But her words about wanting to get married made the whole family very happy.

Jiang's father shook his head helplessly, thinking that girls should not be kept at home when they grow up!

Jiang Qian also reacted, his face turned red, and he muttered, "Let's talk about business."

"Arou, you only have a high school education, can you take over?" Zhao Aiying stopped teasing her sister-in-law who was worried about her, and asked the three sisters-in-law with a smile.

Zhao Aifeng also hurriedly asked her sister-in-law, "Ah Rou, are you okay?"

They have only just learned literacy and are definitely not capable of taking this job. But if they were to sell it, it would not be cost-effective. Although the salary at the town primary school is not high, it is still fifteen yuan a month!

Don’t think that fifteen dollars is not a lot of money. For them, it is an income that is definitely enviable!

Because we are really poor!

For example, after their family distributed the food this year, the money they finally received was only over a hundred yuan!

This is only because of the presence of the team leader Jiang Fu, as well as the strong laborers such as Jiang Shouhai, Jiang Shoutao and Jiang Shouhe!

There are also the sisters-in-law Zhao Aiying and Zhao Aifeng, who are both good at work and both received full work points for female workers.

Su Zhirou wasn't quite there yet, but she didn't fall behind, so she passed.

Although Zhou Guiyun was not as busy as she was when she was young, she still went to the fields to earn work points and got her own share of food rations!

That’s just the income.

Moreover, they are one of only a few families in the village that can have this kind of income!

But there are many places where money is needed. Which of food, clothing, housing and transportation does not cost money?

Let’s talk about food first. The rations distributed by the brigade are only basic rations, but many people will finish them before the next year’s food arrives.

At this time, you have to pay money to buy from the brigade. If you can't pay, you can only buy on credit from the brigade.

So some families even owe money to the brigade, let alone sharing the money!

Now let’s talk about dressing.

How expensive is the cloth? Not only is it expensive, but the quantity is also limited. How many cloth coupons are issued to each household?

Although people in the village would borrow from each other when they were in urgent need, they could barely gather enough to make clothes, but even the cheapest cloth would cost 80 cents per foot!

A set of clothes for an adult costs eight or nine dollars!

Not to mention those who have children at home, it's awesome!

Things like cotton used at home in the winter are not included. Which one doesn’t cost money?

How can the money in your hand last long?

This does not include the expenses of going to the health center to get medicine when you are sick or have a fever, as well as other daily necessities and social interactions.

At the end of the year, only one-third of the money distributed by the brigade can be saved, and that is all thanks to the housewife's thrifty housekeeping!

Take the Jiang family for example.

In fact, if you rely solely on farm work, you won’t be able to save much money.

Most of the family’s savings come from the salary of the fourth son, Jiang Shouchuan, who works as a shopping mall buyer in the city.
