Chapter 29: Silent as a Cicada (Page 2/2)
“…”
After hearing the accounts reported by the eldest cousin, everyone present was shocked, except Han Shiguo, Han's father and mother who knew the truth, and Han Shimin.
Even though Secretary Han and Captain Han knew that there would definitely be a lot of them, they were still shocked. The number was truly terrifying.
Li Xia is the same. She has lived a very comfortable life over the years!
Sure enough, the second brother sent back a lot of money!
Han Shiguo didn't say anything. He didn't remember much about the first few years, but in the last few years he has already planned to save money for his wife.
So the amount of money sent back is fixed.
He still knows how much money is returned.
After counting the money he sent back, Han Shijun began to count the money distributed by the team.
This is easy to calculate.
Because compared to what Han Shiguo earned, the total amount of money that the Han family got from the brigade was only about three hundred yuan.
When this number came out, Han Shimin lowered his head in shame, and even Li Xia was speechless.
But they all knew that this number could not be wrong, because this year alone, the family only received 20 yuan from the team!
Moreover, over the years, Li Xia has become accustomed to the income sent back by Han Shiguo, so it is absolutely impossible for her to work hard.
At the end of the year, not to mention getting any money, she even had to have a lot of work points deducted before she could get her share of food!
If Han's father and mother were not both hardworking and Han Shimin was not lazy, he might not have been able to earn this 300 yuan over the years.
Because Han Shimin and Li Xia have four children!
The eldest Han Jiadong is already twelve years old!
But over the years, who has been taking care of these children so that they have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear?
Just the two of them?
It’s the money sent back by my younger brother Han Shiguo!
Secretary Han knew them best. He smoked his pipe and said calmly, "This is the income over the years. What about the expenditure?"
"I'll continue." After calculating the two sources of income, cousin Han Shijun nodded and began to calculate the expenses.
The expenses in the account book are also clearly written, and these expenses have been recorded by Han Shimin over the years.
Han's mother wanted him not to forget, so she asked him to record all the expenses himself.
The biggest expense was that the old house had a water leak a few years ago. After Han Shiguo got the news from his third sister, he called back and asked her to renovate the house into a brick and tile house.
This expense was the largest, costing a total of six hundred yuan.
These accounts were all recorded personally by the eldest brother Han Shimin.
However, although this expenditure is the largest, other expenditures should not be underestimated. For example, two years ago, at the request of Han Shimin and Li Xia, two more rooms were added.
The two sons and two daughters each had their own room, which was very rare in that era because many people were crowded into one room.
But the family had money, so they expanded the house.
Among these beds and cabinets, which one can you hire someone to repair for free?
There are also quilts and cotton-padded clothes for the winter.
Oh, and there’s also the cost of two meat meals a month and tuition fees for all four children going to school.
The amount of each transaction is not very large, but the total number can be said to be very terrifying.
Of course, there are other personal connections and some invisible expenses.
After the list was compiled, Han Shimin felt extremely ashamed, and Li Xia was also speechless!
