Su Jinyan thought it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as 'hard to swallow'.
It seems that she has to learn how to cook. In her previous life, she could only make sliced noodles, and her stir-fry and stew skills were just mediocre.
But it’s still much better than what Sun made.
After dinner.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, Sun looked happy.
"Yanyan, Mom has repaid all the money she owed to the villagers today. As for the money your father borrowed, we can go to the post office to remit it when we get to town."
Then, Sun began to calculate the accounts for her. "We have two chickens. We ate one today and sold the other one to the village for 2.5 yuan. We also sold 30 eggs and a pig for assignment. The pig weighed 108 kilograms. The team leader also converted it into work points in advance and gave it to us as money. Adding the work points that Yuanyi got this year, the team gave us a total of 49.5 yuan. Mother spent 16.5 yuan to buy 50 kilograms of fine grains and 50 kilograms of coarse grains. We will take them with us when we go to Beijing. (Here we are based on the prices of the supply and marketing cooperatives in 1970, cornmeal 8 cents a kilogram, white flour 25 cents a kilogram, the price on the black market will be more expensive later.)"
"Combining the twenty you gave me this morning and the little we had originally, we now have a total of sixty-two dollars. You and Yuan Yi are officially married today. Your mother and your father have discussed it and decided that you will be the head of the family from now on."
As Sun said this, she pushed a pile of scattered money in front of Su Jinyan.
Su Jinyan was stunned for a while before she reacted. She quickly pushed the money back to Sun and said, "Mom, we can't do that. We still have to go to school. You and Dad still have to worry about all the big and small things at home."
"Besides, where there are no elders around, the younger generation is in charge."
What a joke, she doesn't want to worry about daily necessities.
Sun smiled and thought to herself that she was worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family. She didn't even blink when she saw so much money. Wouldn't the young wives in the village be eager to grab the money when they saw it?
Which daughter-in-law doesn’t want to be the head of the family?
If you could have a daughter-in-law like this, you would wake up smiling in your dreams, right?
Sun stared at the half-blind eyes, smiled happily, and pushed the money to Su Jinyan, "Mom and your father are old and don't have the energy to take care of money. You will be the head of the family in the future. If you need mom to buy food and vegetables, you can give mom some living expenses."
"When we go to the capital, mother doesn't know anything. Besides, we are not registered there, so we can't get food supplies. Everything depends on you and Yuanyi. Dad and mother are holding you back."
The old couple also had their own plans in mind.
They had a shortage of food supply, and when they went to the capital, their daughter-in-law had to pay for all their food and drink. They had nothing, so what kind of family were they?
Once they go to the capital, it will be the daughter-in-law's territory. Everything will be decided by her. They just need to coax the children well.
