Li Yunhua was very surprised when he saw the contents of the second contract.
Although it was only 5% of the dividend, every little bit counted. This was a great thing for their troops, after all, they didn't have to pay anything, and it could also help him solve the employment problem of military dependents.
It was not until then that he realized how foolish he was to stop Ziyuan from reporting his marriage.
This kind of talent should be allowed to join the army earlier!
The old leader is worthy of being the old leader, he is more far-sighted than him.
Li Yunhua felt embarrassed to accept it for free, so at the end of the conversation, he generously allocated two activity rooms for them to use as studios.
After the couple left Li's house, Li Yunhua sat on the sofa, sighing with regret.
"What's going on?"
"Alas, I am still too young."
"You know you were wrong!"
"I asked you to call Uncle Yan and ask him, but you insisted on making the decision yourself. Fortunately, Xiaoyu didn't know that you withheld the marriage report, otherwise, if there was any good thing, he would definitely bypass you."
..........
The next day, after breakfast.
Song Fuyu packed some dried mountain products and went to the Li family next door.
Before she even knocked on the door, Li Zheng saw her and ran out quickly in his slippers to open the door.
"Aunt Yan, are you here to play at my house?"
"Yes, are you welcome?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome. Please come in. My mother and sister are in the room."
Hearing him use the word "please", Song Fuyu suddenly felt that Liu Aihua and his wife had done a good job in educating their child, and the child was very polite.
"Thank you~"
"Mrs. Liu, I'm sorry to bother you."
"There is no such thing as a disturbance. We welcome you to come over."
"It's so cold, the three of us have nowhere to go but to stay at home."
Yesterday, I originally planned to ask Song Fuyu if she wanted to go buy groceries, but because of the previous experience of Wang Aixiang being stopped outside the door, Liu Aihua thought that she didn't like to interact with people, so she didn't call her.
Since others don't like you, it's better not to try to dislike you.
"I was an educated youth in the countryside of Qin City before, and I dried a lot of mountain products. I'll give you some to try. I hope you don't mind."
Song Fuyu placed the things he brought on the table.
"Oh, no!"
"This is such a precious thing, you can just keep it at home and eat it, you don't have to share it with us."
"It's okay, it's just a little bit, take it."
Worried that Liu Aihua would feel burdened, she packed enough for two meals.
During the season, there are plenty of them on the mountains near Shanhe Village. She brought at least dozens of kilograms this time.
"Then I won't be polite with you. I planted a lot of potatoes in my own plot this year. You can take some back later."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
"What are you busy with?"
Liu Aihua and Xiaotian were sitting around the table with two bowls of paste, one thin and one thick. The mother and daughter were making matchboxes.
"I have nothing to do in the winter, so I make some matchboxes to kill time and earn some money to support my family."
There is a match factory nearby. After communication with the troops, they allowed the military dependents to collect the outer boxes and bring them back to make paste when they are particularly busy. Most of the unemployed family members would take some back to supplement their family expenses.
"Very good~"
"Do you want to get it? I can take you there to get it."
"No, I have other things to do."
Liu Aihua thought about it and it made sense. Yan Ziyuan's monthly salary was so high, not counting the rewards for missions, it was more than enough to support the two of them.
I heard from her boss that Yan Ziyuan was from Beijing, his parents both had jobs, and he spent his own money. Although he was married, he didn't have any children, so naturally Song Fuyu didn't need to work hard.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to ask you about some things in the family compound."
She is now completely in the dark and doesn't even know where to buy groceries.
"you say."
“Is there any place to buy groceries nearby?”
"To the southeast, near the tube building, there is a supply and marketing cooperative. It is actually a small shop set up by the army to facilitate the families of soldiers."
"They basically have common daily necessities, such as vegetables and meat, but some things can only be bought in town. If you don't want to go there yourself, you can make a list, pay in advance and ask them to bring it back. They will go to town to help purchase once every Monday."
"But you know that for things like meat, you have to go early. If you go late, there will only be leftovers. If you go after 10 o'clock, you won't even be able to get the leftovers."
After listening to this, Song Fuyu said that he understood that meat is a hot commodity no matter which supply and marketing cooperative it is.
This didn't matter to her, as she had no shortage of space meat. As long as Yan Ziyuan wasn't at home, he wouldn't know if she took some out.
But you can't completely stop going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things. If you do that for a long time, it will arouse suspicion.
“Does every household have a private plot of land?”
"Yes, anyone over ten years old can get one mu of land. You and Yan Tuan can get two mu of land. When spring comes, just ask the logistics department to take you to measure the land."
"Living here means we have our own private plot and it's inconvenient to take a shower because it's close to the tube building."
"Will someone steal the vegetables?"
They were several hundred meters away from the tube-shaped building. If the vegetables she had grown with so much effort were stolen, she might as well not bother growing them.
"Don't worry. There have been cases of vegetable theft before, and the leader issued a death order. If anyone is found stealing vegetables, the family's military personnel will have one month's salary deducted."
"After two deductions, no one dared to take the private plots anymore. Everyone grew their own food."
“Can you grow vegetables?”
Song Fuyu smiled and pointed to the mountain products she brought on the table.
"Haha, look at my memory. You just said you were sent to the countryside as an educated youth, but I forgot it in the blink of an eye."
She can do all the farm work in the countryside, so two mu of private land is even more of a piece of cake for her.
"Sister-in-law, do you know who in the family compound is good at making clothes?"
"You want someone to make clothes?"
"Yes~"
There are many people in the family compound who don’t know how to make clothes. They don’t want to buy finished products, so they usually buy cloth and find people with good craftsmanship to help them privately. They pay a few cents for a piece of clothing, or give them something else.
"Wait a moment."
Liu Aihua did not recommend anyone else, but got up and went back to her room to get a piece of clothing.
"Do you think my craftsmanship is good enough?"
"It's okay. If you're not satisfied, I can recommend someone else to you. There are several other people in the family compound who are good at making clothes."
Having lived in the family compound for so many years, many people asked her to make clothes for them. For this purpose, she even bought a luxury sewing machine at a high price. This is the only skill she can show off.
