"Pretending to be a city person? What's the point of pretending? Country people and city people are obviously different at first glance." Aunt Chen said with disdain.
Sister Chen covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "That's right, I was discovered and almost got beaten!"
"Chunrong is a city dweller. She has a city household registration under her aunt's name. Her parents are in Tianjin and also have formal jobs." Chen Xin told Sister Chen what he knew.
"What does her aunt do?"
"The engineer and master chef in our state-owned factory earns more than 100 yuan a month in salary plus various benefits," said Chen Xin.
In almost an instant, Sister Chen's eyes widened and sparkled.
Not only her, but everyone else at the dinner table also held their breath.
More than a hundred yuan...what does that mean?
Chen Xin's parents have been working for decades, but now they only earn 26.5 yuan per month as a first-level worker.
In other words, Chen Xin's parents would have to go without food or drink and work for nearly two months to be able to catch up with Li Chunrong's aunt.
Moreover, these twenty-six yuan were not just a matter of a few dozen yuan in salary. The food and various coupons involved were something that Chen Xin's parents could not even think about.
"Raised by her aunt? Then you'll give her her aunt's money, right?"
If Li Chunrong was raised by her aunt, she would have been able to take at least half of the hundred-plus yuan monthly salary...
Sister Chen’s mind is now full of money...all tickets.
No wonder, when the girl came, she was wearing nice clothes and a woolen scarf, made of thick wool with velvet.
At that time, wool was not cheap and wool tickets were even harder to get.
If cloth costs a few cents per foot, then wool yarn costs several yuan per pound. The wool yarn with velvet and thicker texture is even more expensive.
Chen Xin didn't understand why his elder sister asked this, but he nodded anyway. "Chunrong's salary isn't high now, so she needs to spend a lot on food and drink. Master Shao does give her a dozen yuan a month as pocket money."
"A dozen or so yuan? Pocket money?"
Sister Chen couldn't even imagine how majestic the scene was.
This marriage must be concluded!
Sister Chen and Chen Xin's mother exchanged a glance, and Sister Chen quickly said, "Fourth brother, I've thought about it. You're not a child anymore. You can't delay getting married."
Chen Xin's mother: "That's right, that's right! We have to get married quickly."
Chen Xin, who was originally gloomy, suddenly became cheerful as if the rain had stopped.
The porridge in my hand tasted as delicious as a piece of meat.
But immediately, he lowered his head again, "Not yet, I...I have to become a regular employee before I can talk to Chunrong about marriage, otherwise I will be irresponsible to her."
Sister Chen was a little anxious. "Fourth brother, don't be silly. A man needs to get married first and then build a career. Besides, Chunrong herself is not that good, but her family is excellent. What if someone else is attracted by her family conditions and pursues her?"
Chen Xin glanced at Sister Chen with an expression of disbelief, "No, Chunrong and I are very good now."
"It's good now, but who can predict what will happen in the future? Whatever is in your bowl is not yours. You have to put it in your mouth and swallow it!" said Sister Chen.
"But my conditions..."
"Are you stupid? Don't you know that the matter has already been settled? It would be best if we still have children. Then... then you can go to their family and ask for more things, just as a way to provide for your parents' retirement."
