Everyone says that soldiers can save money, and she has seen it for herself through Lu Ze.
It's not just that they can save, it's that they can save a lot.
She didn't know about the others, but Lu Ze was definitely one of the best.
"And what about these gems?" These gems are of excellent quality; they were clearly carefully selected, and each one is so beautiful.
Lu Ze picked up a thumb-sized piece of agate. “Some of these gems were left to me by my grandmother, some I collected on my own, and some were given to me by the local ethnic minority people when I went on a mission in Tibet.”
Seeing that she liked it very much, Lu Ze added, "I have another box of pearls in the barracks dormitory. I'll bring it back for you next time."
They have money, tickets, gems, and pearls.
Yu Yao was already numb.
These things would be a considerable fortune, whether in later generations or now.
Lu Ze didn't hide anything and told her everything about his family without any hesitation.
Yu Yao was holding two boxes.
Bustling and prosperous, yet also in a daze.
In her past life, she dreamed of becoming a rich woman, but she worked herself to the bone her whole life without ever achieving her dream.
Suddenly, he transmigrated into a book and got married, and unexpectedly, he found himself with a powerful patron.
Could it be because she accumulated too much merit from doing good deeds in her previous life that the transmigrator gave her special treatment?
"This is all the money and tickets I've saved up over the years. You can take money or tickets from here to buy whatever you want."
Lu Ze's expression was calm and composed, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"You really want it all?"
This must be all his assets, how could he trust her so much?
Lu Ze nodded calmly, without the slightest hesitation or pretense.
"Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the money?" Yu Yao couldn't help but ask again.
Lu Ze smiled faintly, "You won't."
"I must say, you have a good eye for people. I really don't know how to judge them." Yu Yao winked at him playfully.
No wonder he'll be a big shot in the news every day; he has such a grand vision.
Someone as greedy as her only feels at ease when she has all the money in her hands, no matter how close she is to someone.
"Since you trust me so much, don't worry, I will keep it safe for you."
Lu Ze showed a hint of disapproval when Yu Yao said that.
"This money is for you to spend. There are supply and marketing cooperatives on the island, and there are supply ships delivering goods between the food factory and the military compound on the first and fifteenth of each month. If there's nothing on the island, you can take a ship to a department store in Guangdong Province to buy it. In short, spend it however you want, don't worry about saving money."
“My monthly salary is 120 yuan, and various subsidies and bonuses bring it up to about 150 yuan. Plus, I have a savings account, so I don’t have to worry about not having enough money. If you run out of coupons, just tell me and I’ll figure something out.”
Lu Ze's gaze was calm and firm, and his words were the most ordinary things about daily life, expressing his attitude and determination to live a good life with her.
This sincerity was conveyed to Yu Yao through his words and actions.
Holding the box, she solemnly promised, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will use this money wisely."
With this money, she no longer needed to be so conservative in her house renovation plans.
Yu Yao smiled and extended her hand to Lu Ze, "Commander Lu, please guide me in the days to come."
Lu Ze extended his hand, "Comrade Yu, please guide me in the days to come."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After finishing their business, Lu Ze went to the kitchen to wash the lunchboxes, while Yu Yao sat on the bed taking stock of their combined wealth.
She grabbed her military satchel, took out a handkerchief, and put all the money and banknotes inside on the bed.
Most of her money came from the dowry and red envelopes she received when she got married.
The bride price alone was 1,000 yuan, and with the red envelopes, the total was over 1,300 yuan, which is quite a lot of money.
Yu Yao was somewhat smug. According to the prices of this era, she could be considered a small-time rich woman.
But when she saw Lu Ze's bankbook, she gasped, and the air seemed to freeze.
How many?
How much is written on this?
Yu Yao took a deep breath, brought the passbook closer, and counted the money three more times with her finger.
I'm not seeing things, and I didn't miscount.
That is indeed the number.
After confirming that it was correct, she let out a heartfelt exclamation.
Is this the true value of the youngest regimental commander on the island?
Goodness gracious! She's not only latched onto a powerful patron, but a super-powerful one at that.
She silently converted the prices of this time into the prices of later generations in her mind, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Seriously, believe me, Commander Lu, he's incredibly rich!
If you don't believe me, look at the bankbook.
A bankbook. (Image included)
...
Yu Yao came out of the house and saw Lu Ze coming in from outside, carrying a lot of things.
Where did all these things come from?
Lu Ze placed the items on the octagonal table in the main room, saying, "Aunt Ge and Sister-in-law Sun Yu should have brought them over."
Yu Yao flipped through the items; there were quite a few.
There are eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, as well as mangoes, lychees, and wampee, all of which are seasonal vegetables and fruits.
The rich fruity aroma is so pleasant to smell.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was just two days away. That evening, Yu Yao, with her tickets and money, boarded a ship back to Guangdong Province with Lu Ze.
The day I arrived in Guangdong Province happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The two went to get their marriage certificate first.
In those days, there were no marriage certificates; a marriage certificate was just a piece of paper that looked similar to an award certificate.
It has a lot of characteristics of this era, being both politically correct and professionally competent.
On the left is Chairman Mao's portrait and his quotes, and on the right is marriage information.
There were no photos; it was just a certificate stating who voluntarily married whom and that this certificate was issued to prove it. Once it was stamped with the red seal of the Revolutionary Committee, it was considered valid.
