Chapter 63 You Are Not Good Enough for Team Leader Song
Xiaomei went to pour a bowl of water for each of them. When they were almost done resting, Xiaomei got up and took the things at the door into the house.
Lin Qingqing didn't rest any longer and went to help.
Things were piled up in the living room, waiting for Xiaomei to put them away.
Lin Qingqing was sitting at the table in the living room, doing the accounting. She also had to sort out the full box of bills in a notebook, writing down the dates on the bills so that the ones that were about to expire could be used up next time she went shopping.
He spent 123.37 yuan a day on shopping, which was equivalent to three months' salary for a worker. He bought either meat, sugar or cloth every day, and these precious things were expensive.
Xiaomei couldn't help but cover her mouth when she heard this number. "Oh my god, just over 120 yuan! Our family can't even save that much in a year." If her mother knew that she didn't persuade her sister and the money was just flowing like water, she would definitely scold her to death.
"Sister, we can't be so stingy with money anymore. We have to learn how to make a living."
Seeing Xiaomei's embarrassed look, Lin Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Money is for living. Your brother-in-law gives you a lot of allowance." She had more than 10,000 yuan, and Song Yiyuan had given her another 9,000 yuan earlier. In total, she had more than 20,000 yuan.
She planned to leave 100 yuan with Xiaomei every month. 100 yuan was more than two months' salary for an ordinary worker, which should be enough.
Xiaomei swallowed her saliva, thinking that Lin Qingqing had been pampered by her aunt at home and probably had no concept of saving money, so she said nothing more.
Lin Qingqing poured out the box of tickets, sorted them out first and then counted them. Xiaomei had already taken the scissors to cut the curtains.
“Knock knock knock~knock knock knock~”
Hearing the urgent knock on the door, Xiaomei hurried to open it.
As the door creaked open, Xiaomei saw a pretty female comrade in military uniform standing outside. Her eyes were full of criticism, which made Xiaomei feel that she had bad intentions.
Zhang Jingwan looked Xiaomei up and down. She was wearing a white tasseled shirt and grey coarse straight-leg trousers. It was obvious that she had worn the clothes for many years. Her hairstyle with two big black braids was also rustic. Her skin was neither white nor black, and she was not ugly.
Is this the wife that Team Leader Song brought back? Zhang Jingwan looked disgusted. How could a country girl like this, who couldn't even read, be worthy of a man like Team Leader Song?
Xiaomei was just about to ask this comrade if he had any.
Then I heard a delicate female voice, her tone full of anger: "You are not worthy of Team Leader Song at all!"
Zhang Jingwan turned around and left after she finished speaking. She had heard that Team Leader Song was training in the army, so she came to see what the wife he brought back was like and what type of woman Team Leader Song liked.
She was so angry when she saw this. She was not as good-looking as her, and the girl from the countryside was naturally not as good-looking as her, nor was she as tall as her. She was not as good as her in everything. I really don't know what Team Leader Song wanted from her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Team Leader Song couldn't find any girl he wanted. Was marrying a country girl just a task? Or was there something else going on? Looking at the way she was dressed, Team Leader Song definitely didn't like her. If he did, why didn't he make her new clothes? Why did he let her wear such shabby clothes?
After considering several points, Zhang Jingwan felt that her guess was correct. There must be something hidden here, and she had to find out.
After Xiaomei saw everyone leave, she also locked the door and went back to the living room.
"Sister, there was this weird female soldier. I don't know if she came to see my brother-in-law, but she said, 'I'm not worthy of Team Leader Song,' and then walked away."
Xiaomei looked bewildered as she repeated what had just happened.
Lin Qingqing raised the corners of her lips: "Maybe I've found the wrong person." It was probably Song Yiyuan's lover Tao Xi who came to her house and mistook Xiaomei for himself.
Xiaomei nodded and picked up the scissors to continue cutting the curtains.
After Xiaomei had finished cutting the two curtains and putting everything in the kitchen in order, Lin Qingqing had also finished counting the tickets.
She divided the ticket into two parts, counted out twenty big unity notes and placed them next to the ticket, and began to represent them to Xiaomei one by one.
"Xiaomei, I'll give you the groceries from now on. Here's the receipt book. When you're done, cross it out and add new ones."
"These tickets are about to expire. I'll use them up first."
"Here's two hundred dollars. We just arrived here and have a lot of things to buy. Let your brother-in-law take care of the big things."
"It doesn't matter whether you keep the account or not." Anyway, the money belongs to Song Yiyuan, and he doesn't look like a petty person, and Xiaomei is not the kind of person who would hide her money.
Xiaomei waved her hands repeatedly. Two hundred yuan is such a huge amount of money.
"Sister, I can buy groceries, but if I need money, I'll ask you. I can't sleep well if you leave two hundred yuan on me. If I lose this money, I can't afford to pay for it."
Seeing Xiaomei almost crying, Lin Qingqing explained, "One hundred yuan is for monthly household expenses. I'll give it to you once a month. The extra hundred yuan is for buying things you need. You can't ask me for money every time you need it in the future."
"Don't worry, I asked you to come here to help me. You won't be responsible if the money is lost. Just keep these tickets."
Xiaomei looked embarrassed. After Lin Qingqing hinted at her again, she took the banknotes and put them in her small cloth bag. She then put the soon-to-expire banknotes together with the money, and put the extra banknotes and the banknote book back into the wooden box.
Her frown suddenly relaxed, as if she had figured something out, and she smiled again: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely raise you to be plump and white."
"Well, next time I go to town, I'll buy some fruit."
"good."
After collecting the money, Xiaomei kept it close to her body and went to the kitchen to cook. She had already asked her sister, and her sister liked to eat rice, but usually ate dry rice at noon.
