Startled by Xu Feiming's actions, Lu He reacted and said with a smile, "You have no secrets from me, so I can't have any secrets from you. I haven't been working for very long. I spent a long time studying before becoming a nurse. My monthly salary is thirty yuan, plus a ten-yuan night shift allowance and a three-yuan stipend. I've been working for two years and haven't saved much money. With the money my brother and sister-in-law sent me before, I have a little over eight hundred yuan in savings."
Lu He actually had very little money on her own; most of it was spent on buying things for her nephews and nieces. Her sister-in-law used to send her money every month, about fifteen to thirty yuan a month. But after she had been working for half a year, she called her sister-in-law several times and told her not to send her money anymore, and that's when her sister-in-law stopped sending her money.
Now that she's a Level 1 doctor, her monthly salary is 35 yuan. With hospitalization training and night shifts to care for patients in case of emergencies, she gets a monthly subsidy of 15 yuan and an allowance of 5 yuan. After six months, she will be promoted to Level 2 doctor, which will be more than 45 yuan, and her allowance will also increase.
"You've saved a lot! I've worked for almost ten years to save this much." Xu Feiming was genuinely surprised; he hadn't expected Lu He to be so frugal.
Lu He said, "I was terrified of being poor when I was a child. You have no idea how happy I was when I saw my own money every month."
Lu He felt safe and secure whenever he saw money in his hands.
Lu He told herself that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely achieve financial freedom.
"Don't be so frugal. Money can be earned. If you're too frugal, you'll only get a cheap life! You're already tired from work every day, so you need to treat yourself better. By the way, how about we go to the regimental commander's house for dinner tonight? There's a New Year's Eve dinner in the family compound today, and they even slaughtered a few pigs. I'll take you with me."
Xu Feiming suggested taking Lu He to the family compound.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Lu He actually wanted to go, but she was too shy.
Xu Feiming said, "What's wrong with that? I always have to visit the families. We're getting married soon, so we need to meet the families and get to know each other."
