Chapter 27 Huge sum of money?
He didn't get all this money out of thin air, so Liu Yinyin couldn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Besides...she had no intention of continuing to live with him, so how could she accept his money?
"Keep it. Even if you don't spend it, having a child will cost money." He didn't understand how to have a child, but it wasn't easy after all.
He is the child's father, how could he leave everything to Liu Yinyin alone?
"You have to make clothes for the kids, and diapers... I don't know anything else, just prepare them. If there's anything you can't buy, tell me and I'll try to get it for you."
Money alone is not enough. Gu Cheng didn't know that Liu Yinyin had a child before, otherwise he would have exchanged more cloth coupons with his comrades before returning.
Seeing that he was serious, Liu Yinyin told him: "My family members say that I spend money lavishly and don't know how to live. Aren't you afraid that the money you worked hard to earn will be wasted by me?"
Actually, Liu Yinyin doesn't like living a frugal life. If someone kept telling her that she had to live frugally, saying this was too expensive and that she couldn't buy anything.
She thought she would get bored sooner or later.
"Go ahead and buy it. Money is meant to be spent." Gu Cheng said dismissively.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "......Okay then."
After all, he is the child's father and he should fulfill his responsibilities.
Well...this amount of money is indeed a bit too much. Liu Yinyin has been used to being poor in the past few months, and she is suddenly shocked to see so much money.
That feeling...is like a poor person suddenly becoming rich.
Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said to Liu Yinyin, "There is one more thing I need to discuss with you."
Liu Yinyin was counting money at the moment and nodded twice.
Gu Cheng sighed: "My parents..."
He had already heard from Liu's father and mother about what happened before. What his parents did was wrong, but as a son, Gu Cheng couldn't really ignore his biological parents.
When Liu Yinyin heard this, her hands that were counting money paused, and she raised her eyelids to look at him: "Just tell me what you want to say."
Could it be that this person suddenly changed his mind and wanted to give the money to Gu's mother?
That's fine, he can do whatever he wants with the money he earns. But if Gu Cheng wants to do that, Liu Yinyin will no longer pay attention to him.
Go wherever it's cool! She's not used to it.
Gu Cheng paused and said, "Before you lived at home, I sent 20 yuan to mom every month. Now we have our own new home. I think I can give my parents 10 yuan every month in the future, and send them some gifts during the holidays. Do you think it's okay?"
Liu Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be wrong not to give any money to Gu's mother. As a son, Gu Cheng has the obligation to support his parents. Ten yuan is neither too much nor too little, and it is almost enough for the old couple.
Besides, his parents are still able to work and are not only looking after one son.
Liu Yinyin looked at him and said, "This is the money you earned yourself. I have no opinion on who you give it to. It's only right for you to give money to your parents. But... I'm worried that your mother will think it's too little."
Ten yuan a month is considered a lot in their countryside. Country people don't have to spend money on food, so they just use it occasionally to supplement their household expenses, so they can probably save a few yuan.
But Gu's mother used to get 20 yuan a month, but now she only gets 10 yuan a month. I don't know if she will make a fuss.
In fact, she agreed if Gu Cheng offered to give her twenty yuan, as long as the Gu family members would not disturb her peaceful life.
"I will communicate with them well." He now has his own family to raise, and most of his attention will definitely be on his wife and children in the future.
It is a good habit to discuss things beforehand. Liu Yinyin is quite satisfied with this. Suddenly she thought of something. She pointed at the cigarette box on the table and asked him, "Do you smoke?"
Pregnant women have sensitive noses. Yesterday, she faintly smelled a scent of smoke on Gu Cheng.
When Gu Cheng just took a shower, he casually threw a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on the table.
She doesn't mind the smell of cigarettes, but secondhand smoke is bad for children.
"......Smoke." He is indeed addicted to smoking. There are few people in the army who don't smoke.
Liu Yinyin discussed with him: "If you want to smoke in the future, you can smoke outside, not in the room. I heard that... if a pregnant woman smells the right kind of smoke, it's bad for the fetus."
It is difficult to ask a smoker to quit smoking all at once, but it is certainly not possible to do so without any caution.
Gu Cheng said hurriedly: "Okay, I will be more careful next time."
After washing the dishes, Gu Cheng took a short rest and went to work.
Liu Yinyin took the things out of the aluminum lunch box and put them in her own small box. It was not appropriate to put so much money in the lunch box.
She bought the small box from the system and it came with a small lock.
Liu Yinyin just counted it and found that the five volumes of the big reunion were five hundred yuan, and some scattered items added up to one hundred and twenty-five yuan.
The bulk of the money came from the passbook, a total of five thousand yuan!
When she saw it just now, Liu Yinyin was also shocked. It has only been a few years, and five thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.
It's quite rare to find a man who can both make money and save money.
Liu Yinyin put the passbook and the big group into the cash box and locked it.
The remaining one hundred and twenty-five yuan, plus her own forty-two yuan and eighty-eight cents, were placed in the lunch box for pocket money.
There was also a stack of colorful tickets, mainly grain tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets and cloth tickets.
These are all scarce supplies, and it is not yet time to buy everything with coupons.
After taking a nap for more than an hour, Liu Yinyin got up to water the vegetable garden. This private plot of land is backed by a mountain and there is no sunlight now.
The sweet potatoes will be ready for digging soon, so there is no need to water them at this time.
After work in the afternoon, Gu Cheng came back with Liu Mingyuan, and both of them were carrying a few wooden boards in their hands.
Liu Yinyin muttered: "...What is this for?"
Gu Cheng explained: "Isn't the bed at home too small? I borrowed some wood and put up a board on your side."
Otherwise he was afraid that Liu Yinyin would fall while sleeping at night.
Liu Yinyin was curious: "Can you do carpentry?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "I know a little bit. I can make a simple small bed."
Okay, Liu Yinyin will just ignore him.
I thought it was just a simple matter of putting up a board next to it, but the two grown men were busy in the yard for a long time, making loud noises...
In the end, they managed to put together a small bed that was the same length as the bed in the room and about half the width, and it was surrounded by railings on three sides.
If you put it next to the bed, it will become a modern version of a children's spliced bed.
Gu Cheng is quite satisfied with his work: "When I have children in the future, this will be perfect for them to sleep on."
Liu Yinyin couldn't help but praise him: "...You are very thoughtful."
