He Xiaojie didn't have much of an opinion to begin with, and usually listened to her parents. She nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll give you 20 yuan when I get my salary."
In later generations, it would be unthinkable to hand over 4,000 yuan to one's family out of a monthly income of 6,000 yuan, but it is very common nowadays.
Especially before the family division, the property that children can control is very limited, and even the food they are allocated is controlled by the head of the family.
Wang Taozhi was quite good to her children and treated them equally instead of using her daughter's money to support her son.
She also kept He Xiaotuan's salary after he started working, because he got married and had an extra person to feed, so he had to hand over 25 yuan every month, part of which was used to deduct the expenses for his marriage and betrothal gifts.
She must have kept a record and saved several sums of money separately. She and He Chunsheng's salary were all put into the public account to cover the family expenses.
It can be said that in this family, He Ruixue is the only one who is financially independent.
Wang Taozhi went to the kitchen to cook, and He Xiaojie had nothing to do, fantasizing about her future working life.
She said with some regret, "My job is easy, but it's too stable. All I have to do every day is sit there and calculate data and enter accounts. I heard that the men have to help guard the warehouse and often work night shifts. They get subsidies and their salaries are higher than mine."
This is really Versailles.
He Chunsheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Come on, you're still thinking about guarding the warehouse. You, a little girl, are more likely to be targeted by thieves than the grain. When the time comes, your grain station will have to assign someone to protect you. That's a big loss."
He Xiaojie was unhappy. "Dad, you have such old-fashioned ideas. What's wrong with being a female comrade? Who knows? The thief might think I'm weak and specifically choose to strike when I'm around. If I catch him, maybe I can even make a contribution."
"No, I'm not looking for you to do anything meritorious. Stop thinking about those useless things. With your skinny arms and legs, who can you possibly defeat? One person can knock you out with just one hand. Just stay quiet at the grain station. It's good enough if you can even get the position of warehouse supervisor."
"I don't have the strength, but I have brains. I don't know how to set a trap. I'll just lock people up first."
"Oh, if you were that capable, you should have joined the army or gone to police school. Forget it, I heard you participated in voluntary labor that year, and you didn't even start working, but you collapsed after taking a few more steps. With your condition, it's better not to cause trouble to the country."
Seeing that the fire on the stove had gone out, He Chunsheng stood up and stopped talking. "Your mother has prepared the dishes. Go and serve them! Xiaoai, where is your brother?"
The little girl had two ponytails and was staring at the kitchen. When she heard her name, she turned her head and said, "Brother is playing outside."
"Go call him in, it's time for dinner."
"good."
She jumped off the stool, ran to the yard, and shouted, "Brother, it's time for dinner!"
A voice echoed from afar, "Got it."
He Xiaoyou had already smelled the fragrance coming from his home and was not concentrating on playing marbles with his friends. When he heard the shouting, he quickly put away the glass beads in his hand and ran home happily.
Several children from the neighborhood looked at him with envy as he walked away, then patted their butts and ran home to cry to their parents.
At the dinner table, He Xiaoyou bit the fish bone with a crunching sound, chewed it up and swallowed it, "Mom, hairtail fish is so delicious, I haven't eaten it before."
Wang Taozhi scooped a spoonful of soup for him and rolled her eyes. "Why haven't you tried it? Two years ago, you complained about the fishy smell and put it down after two bites. I don't think it's because the hairtail is delicious, it's because the chef at Dongbao's company makes it well. They pan-fry it and then braise it, how can it not be delicious?"
"Have I ever eaten it? I don't remember. Anyway, the fish my mom cooks is always awful."
He Ruixue picked up some bean sprouts and put them in her bowl, thinking that there was a reason why He Xiaoyou was often beaten at home.
"Don't eat if you don't want to. Who's begging you? Who else in the yard eats better than you?"
Wang Taozhi knocked him on the head with chopsticks. "You big sloth mouth, I'll remember this. From now on, you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, let alone tell others what we ate. Qian Guihua came to me today with two pieces of cloth to exchange for meat. I really gave her face!"
We all work in the textile factory, so who is short of cloth?
It would be fine if it was a fresh and bright pattern, but the cloth was not only gray, but also had several holes in it. It couldn't even be made into a piece of clothing. She wanted to get something for nothing, without even considering who she was.
He Chunsheng curled his lips when he heard this, "Old Fang's vision is not good. The wife he married this time is not as good as the last one. At least she is down-to-earth and hardworking. His children have all been taught badly."
"Let's not talk about me, who in this courtyard is interested in Qian Guihua? But she herself doesn't realize it. She goes from one house to another all day long to inquire about other people's affairs, and then spreads gossip everywhere. What comes out of her mouth is probably not credible.
Oh, yes, she also likes to take advantage of others. Last time she stole a few coils from the factory and almost lost her job. She just never learned her lesson."
He Ruixue smelled the fragrance of the melon and slowed down her eating. She asked, "Is it the Fang family in the backyard? I haven't heard that Fang Guoxiang is divorced?"
The heroine's most powerful helper seems to be named Fang. He has a sharp eye and never does business at a loss. He helped her sell goods on the black market before the opening up, and helped her manage the business after the opening up.
He was helped by the heroine in his early years and has always wanted to repay her. He is very loyal to the company and can handle everything with ease. He can be said to be a hardworking and dedicated worker chosen by God, allowing the heroine enough time to be affectionate with the hero.
She had originally suspected the old Fang family in the backyard, as the one who is close to the water gets the moon first.
But after careful observation, I found that none of their family members were qualified, and they were all rotten, so I stopped paying attention to them.
So there is an inside story?
Wang Taozhi nodded and said, "Fang Guoxiang has been married twice and they are still together. One wife lives in the countryside and the other lives in the city. His previous wife lives in the village next to my mother's home. She seems to have given birth to a son and a daughter for him. They help him take care of his parents in the village.
That man was the head of the family, farming and planting rice. Even the money Lao Fang used to come to the city was saved from selling vegetables. Later, when he became a worker, he looked down on the wives of the villagers, feeling that they were a disgrace to him. He clamored for progress and married Qian Guihua in the city, with whom he had two sons and a daughter.
He Xiaojie was indignant. "How can he get married twice? Is there no one to stop him?"
"It happened before liberation, and it's not registered, so who's going to care?"
Nowadays, few people go to the trouble of getting a marriage certificate. Most people just get married after drinking and then have an unclear marriage.
Only the city pays more attention to household registration. After all, it is related to how much food you can receive in the future. Only then will newlyweds take the trouble to go through the extra procedures.
"So the marriage he got in the city was the real one, and his wife in the countryside was the one with no status or status. That's too pitiful. Didn't she come to find him?"
If it were her, she would have to come and make a scene so that everyone around him could see clearly what kind of person he was.
