Shen Tingwan pulled him into the room, took out the passbook Jiang Yan had given her earlier, and put it together with the envelope.
She said, "Open it and take a look."
When Jiang Yan picked it up, he felt the thickness of the envelope and looked at Shen Tingwan with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
After opening it, more than twenty bright red banknotes lay quietly inside.
Shen Tingwan smiled with satisfaction.
Although this amount of money is not considered a lot of money now, it was still quite valuable in the 1980s.
With Jiang Yan's allowance, we can at least live a happy life.
Jiang Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect Wanwan to be so great."
He has always supported Shen Tingwan in doing her own thing, whether it is translation or tutoring, as long as she likes it, she can do it.
He knew she was amazing, but now it seems...
She is better than I thought.
He stood up and took out another passbook from the cabinet. "Add these and this is all our savings."
Shen Tingwan looked at him curiously, "What's in this passbook?"
After opening it and taking a look, her eyes gradually became incredulous. "Jiang Yan, am I dreaming?"
Jiang Yan rubbed her head and said, "Of course not."
Shen Tingwan counted them, "There are hundreds of thousands of them..."
“How come you have so many…?”
You have to know that Jiang Yan is just a company commander, and he definitely can't save so much money just by relying on allowances.
Jiang Yan summarized it simply, "I previously invested in a business in the south with a friend and made a small profit."
Shen Tingwan looked at her little envelope and immediately felt that it was not fragrant.
She looked at Jiang Yan with sparkling eyes, "Jiang Yan, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a good way to get rich?"
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows unconsciously. He didn't expect that his wife was actually a little money-grubber.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he held the person in his arms, "You now have a good way to get rich."
Shen Tingwan was successfully piqued by him and couldn't help asking, "What what?"
Jiang Yan kissed the corner of her lips, "You still have me, we are husband and wife now, my money is yours."
Shen Tingwan was stunned, and her face turned red.
This man has become so good at saying sweet words!
But whatever he said was fine, and Chen Tingwan just took it as a joke.
She asked seriously, "Now that we have the capital, do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Yan pondered, "The regulations on speculation and profiteering have been relaxed a lot now. There are even rumors that the crackdown will be lifted in the future."
Shen Tingwan nodded repeatedly.
By the 1990s, the economy had entered a stage of rapid development. If they had waited any longer, they would have missed such an opportunity.
Shen Tingwan thought about what Lu Yue had discussed with her before, and talked about it with Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan agreed very much. "You are busy with the newspaper and tutoring now, so leave the store opening to Sister Lu Yue."
He added, "I'll go back and see if my friends have any businesses I can invest in, and then I'll discuss it with you."
Shen Tingwan thought about it and guessed, "If there is any investment in science and technology, you should pay close attention to it."
Jiang Yan nodded.
He believed in Shen Tingwan.
After all these things, Jiang Yan already knew that his wife was very capable! He did not doubt her.
The two-day weekend passed in almost a flash.
So much so that on Monday, Ranran was still reluctant to leave bed.
Shen Tingwan found it funny, reached out to pick her up, and gently patted her soft face.
"Baby, if you don't get up, your teacher will come and wake you up!"
Facts have proven that no matter what the circumstances, teachers are a very intimidating presence.
Ranran opened her eyes drowsily, and lay on Shen Tingwan's shoulder humming.
"No! Ranran, get up now!"
Ranran woke up instantly. Not only did she get down from Shen Tingwan's arms, she also ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Jiang Yan had already gone to the army to start training. Shen Tingwan sent the two children to kindergarten and knocked on the door on the fourth floor when he returned home.
When Lu Yue saw Shen Tingwan, she welcomed her in with a smile.
"Wanwan, I have prepared all the materials you mentioned yesterday. Take a look."
Shen Tingwan looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and nodded.
"Sister Lu Yue, some of the dim sum ingredients need to be prepared the night before, otherwise the taste will be very different."
Lu Yue wrote them down one by one.
What Chen Tingwan taught her today was the simpler mung bean cake.
She demonstrated it first, and then let Lu Yue try it herself.
Lu Yue originally thought it was simple, but after getting the hang of it, she found it was not the right thing to do.
She wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Wanwan, I wish my hands were as skillful as yours."
Shen Tingwan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, just take it slow."
Watching Lu Yue pouring sugar, Shen Tingwan was helpless, "Sister Lu Yue, such a small amount of sugar won't do."
Lu Yue said with some regret, "Wanwan, you know that white sugar is so expensive now. I really can't bear it..."
Shen Tingwan picked up the spoon, scooped a full spoonful and put it into the bowl.
She also knew what Lu Yue was worried about.
After all, we are not a wealthy family. How can such expensive white sugar be made like this?
Shen Tingwan patiently explained, "Sister Lu Yue, you have tasted the taste of these pastries. They are soft, glutinous, fresh and sweet. The key to the sweetness lies here."
"If you don't let it go now, the cakes you make will lose their flavor. People will find them bland after eating them once, and you'll lose a lot of repeat customers. Isn't that a loss?"
Lu Yue thought about it seriously and felt that what she said made sense.
Shen Tingwan smiled and said, "It just so happens that I still have some white sugar at home, so we can use it to practice for a while."
Lu Yue said gratefully, "Okay, thank you so much, Wanwan."
Shen Tingwan waved his hands, "How can you say that? You have been helping me look after the children before, and I even thought it was too much trouble for you!"
The two chatted and laughed, and Chen Tingwan taught her seriously. After a whole morning, Lu Yue had learned quite well.
Shen Tingwan asked her to practice at home in the afternoon and went out to pick up the child.
The next afternoon, after sending the two children to kindergarten, Shen Tingwan took a bus to the city.
The tutoring time agreed with Zhou Ru is on Tuesday afternoon.
Xiaojie finished class early, so he was already ready when Shen Ting arrived late.
As Shen Tingwan put his things away, he casually asked, “Have you sorted out the notes I asked you to organize last week?”
Xiaojie handed her the notebook he had prepared.
Seeing the neat handwriting above, Shen Tingwan nodded.
Xiaojie has a good understanding and he almost caught up with the basics in less than a month.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped at one place.
