The next day, Jiang Yunchen bought a bunch of good things, asked Su Fang to accompany him, and then went to the Red Flag Brigade.
When passing Qingsong Town, Su Fang spotted a familiar figure with his sharp eyes, "Isn't that Comrade Qiao? Is that the girl you came back to see this time?"
squeak--
The sound of car brakes screeching.
"Where?" Jiang Yunchen asked.
Su Fang pointed to the restaurant next to him and said, "Well, we just went in. It seems there's a man walking in front."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yunchen ran towards the hotel.
Su Fang: "Hey, why don't you park the car first? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Fuck, is this guy going to fight?" Su Fang thought about what he just said about there being a man in front of him. Could this guy be going to rob someone?
He quickly parked the car in an open space and Su Fang ran towards the hotel entrance.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Jiang Yunchen standing at the door of the hotel and didn't dare to go in.
"What? Now that you're here, you're backing down? If you don't go in, Comrade Qiao might become someone else's wife. Are you willing to accept that?"
Jiang Yunchen kept a straight face and said nothing.
Su Fang pulled him and pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as I entered, I heard the man say in a rude tone, "After we get married, you just need to take good care of my mom at home. My mom has had a hard time. She was injured when she gave birth to me, and she can't work. You will have to take care of the housework after you get married."
"Also, although my father is gone, he at least left me a decent job. Now I am just an apprentice and my monthly salary is only fourteen dollars, but ten dollars a month must be given to my mother for safekeeping. I will give you three dollars a month and you only need to take care of the household expenses."
"My mother is in poor health. I cut meat for her at least three to five times a month and stew it for her to nourish her. She eats one egg every two days, and you can take care of the rest yourself. I also have one dollar to keep for myself."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi said coldly: "Brother, how can I evaluate you?"
"It's okay to say you're not good, but you keep saying your mother has a hard time. You give her ten dollars to save every month, but you only take one dollar for yourself."
"Indeed, it is the duty of children to be filial to their parents. You have done a good job in this regard."
The man smiled smugly upon hearing this and said, "My filial piety is not something that I have learned in just one or two days. You should listen to my aunt."
"There is not a single one of my neighbors who doesn't praise me for being filial."
Looking at the man's smug look, Qiao Xiazhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
After all, she is not in the 21st century. In the 1970s in this parallel world, if a woman wanted to find a wife, she would have to take care of everything in the family if the elderly were in poor health, even if she didn't have much money.
Now this Zhang gives three dollars every month, which is a huge thing for some people.
As for cutting the meat, you didn't say how much. One or two ounces, or even half a pound is fine, but then it might be eaten by just one person.
After all, this is not the 21st century. Two taels of meat can be eaten by the whole family, purely for the taste.
But the conditions were harsh at that time, and the more harsh the conditions were, the more people craved meat. Sometimes half a pound of meat was not enough for one person to eat.
A man who is so filial will definitely ask his mother to eat first.
But some women are willing to do so.
It doesn’t matter whether you eat meat or not to save a few cents.
As for eggs, you can work hard and raise three chickens. You can buy eggs when they are not laying eggs, and you don’t have to buy them when they are laying eggs. This is also possible.
Life is hard at this time, but there is a way to live with the hardship, a way to live with three dollars, and a way to live with five dollars.
But this is not how Qiao Xiazhi spends his days.
Of course, she came here today purely because of a favor she couldn't refuse, and she had never thought about really living with this filial man in front of her.
He does seem to be in good condition and even has a stable job, making him the object of desire for many rural girls.
But this was not what she was looking for.
Since he was not what she was looking for, she would not make any further comments about him.
After all, from his point of view, based on what he has said so far, he has done nothing wrong. That's what filial piety is all about.
But just as Qiao Xiazhi was about to speak, the man thought that Qiao Xiazhi was not satisfied with the three yuan living allowance, so he hurriedly said:
"My salary is low now, so three dollars might not be enough for you, but don't you know how to pick herbs for money?"
"Although you may not earn as much as I do, you still earn at least a few dollars a month, which is definitely enough to supplement the family expenses."
"If we are lucky enough to dig up ginseng, how much money can we save in a year?"
"I've thought about it. When you dig ginseng and exchange it for money, we will repair our current house. This way it will be convenient and comfortable to live in."
Qiao Xiazhi clenched his fists and smiled awkwardly but politely: "What other conditions do you have? Just say them all at once."
She really didn't want to continue chatting with this man for even a minute.
Although what he said is not a problem in this era.
As a family, it is reasonable to have money to renovate the house. After all, the woman has to live there too.
But she is a person from the 21st century, and she doesn't like people to be obsessed with the money she earns before they start a family.
What's more, ginseng is so easy to find.
Be patient, be patient, and when she has more excuses to refuse, she will leave.
There's no way, because the whole team of educated youth that the original owner had found knew about it. Although she is here now and has changed, it's because the original owner's personality was so arrogant and unreasonable.
