Jiang Shiyue knew that Chen Shanhe was a typical male chauvinist, and spending the money earned by his wife was indeed a blow to his self-esteem.
However, as a time traveler, a postmodern person who grew up with the ideas of independent women, she could never give up her studies and career to focus on the stove and Chen Shanhe.
Jiang Shiyue decided to have a frank talk with Chen Shanhe.
She cleared her throat and said, "Chen Shanhe, everyone has their own strengths. I don't need to tell you about your strengths. The sky is your territory. It is because of people like you that we ordinary people can earn money and live a stable life.
Without you, the country will be destroyed, the family will be ruined, and money will be just waste paper.
For me, making money is like flying a plane. You are familiar with every part and every button on the plane, but I know which business is more profitable.
Every couple has their own way of getting along. You defend the country, I protect the home. Can we divide the work and cooperate?
You shine in your field, and I work hard to make a lot of money.
Let's accommodate each other. I'll try my best to come back and live with you in the compound, but can you also be more open-minded in life? Don't let me be a stingy 'local rich man'?"
Having said that, what can Chen Shanhe say?
In fact, he had an indescribable feeling.
It's okay when he is alone. At worst, he can risk his life. He is single anyway.
After marrying Jiang Shiyue and having Yangyang, I often had to be cautious and hesitant.
He has too much burden on his shoulders. It is difficult for him to be loyal and filial. He wants to give it his all but is afraid that Yangyang will become an orphan.
Now Jiang Shiyue is standing behind him as she said, sharing the weight on his shoulders.
Chen Shanhe was silent for a while, then he grabbed Jiang Shiyue's hand on the table and shook it, saying solemnly, "You've worked hard!"
For the first time, Jiang Shiyue felt that a man who couldn't speak was still a flaw. The corners of her mouth twitched as she admonished him, "Next time, change this sentence to 'I love you'. It would be more appropriate."
Otherwise, how would she respond?
Serve the people?

Jiang Shiyue brought some local specialties from her hometown and took Yangyang to Mengmeng's house.
Mengmeng opened the door and burst into tears when she saw Yangyang. She hugged Yangyang tightly and said, "Wow, Yangyang, why did you leave for so long? I missed you so much."
Mengmeng's mother heard the noise and came out. She was a little surprised to see Jiang Shiyue, "Sister-in-law, why are you here so early?"
She knew that Jiang Shiyue would definitely come over when she returned, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Jiang Shiyue was pressed for time, so she got straight to the point. "I have something to do and have to go on a long trip. I wanted to come over and ask if the work clothes have been altered. I thought I'd give the money to my sisters-in-law before I leave."
"There's no rush for money." Mengmeng's mother waved her hand, "The work clothes have been modified and are in your warehouse. Let's go and take a look. If there's anything wrong, you tell me and I'll find someone to modify it.
"You mean going to college? Your admission letter was sent to the compound first, and everyone heard about it. Congratulations! You have made our sisters-in-law proud! You are now the envy of all the sisters-in-law in our compound and their role model. Chen Ying has really found a treasure."
She has money, looks, and talent.
Why was my life so confusing before?!
Jiang Shiyue took a moment to react and then remembered that his warehouse was the house he had occupied.
Mengmeng’s mother took out the key and opened the door.
The altered clothes were neatly stacked in the middle of the room, not resembling the work clothes they had been wearing before.
Jiang Shiyue casually flipped through two pieces and was very satisfied.
The person Mengmeng's mother chose was just like her, working neatly and efficiently, with fine and smooth stitches.
Jiang Shiyue stuffed the money she had prepared in advance into Mengmeng's mother's hands. "We agreed on it, fifty cents for one piece, one dollar for a set. Here's nine hundred yuan, and the rest is your hard work fee."
When Mengmeng's mother heard this, she quickly counted out fifty yuan and stuffed it into Jiang Shiyue's hand. "How can I say this is hard work? You can't take this money! Besides, I also helped to modify a lot of these work clothes. How can I earn two pounds?!"
Jiang Shiyue stopped Mengmeng's mother and explained, "Sister-in-law, listen to me. I'll be away for at least a semester when I go to college. Even if I don't go out, Chen Shanhe's worries are gone now, and he said he would work hard to return to his original unit. If he really goes back, I don't know any of the sisters-in-law in the flight squadron, so I'll still have to come to you for help if I need it. Helping once or twice can be considered a friendship between neighbors, but if it happens too often, even if you don't mind, I'll feel embarrassed!"
Besides, don't the team leaders and captains in the workshop earn a bit more than the average worker? You run around for me, so it's only right that I get some hard work pay."
"But..." Mengmeng's mother was still a little hesitant, "I heard that these work clothes of yours were given to you as payment by the factory because they couldn't be sold. They couldn't be sold in the first place, and you lost another 900 yuan. This..." What should I do if I'm stuck with this?
She was too embarrassed to say the rest.
Just like mahjong players hate to lose and fishermen hate to flip, businessmen certainly hate to pay.
Jiang Shiyue waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't do business at a loss."
For Jiang Shiyue, even a temporary loss is not a loss.
There are short-term profit standards in the short term and long-term standards in the long term.

Yangyang hasn't seen Mengmeng for a month and didn't go to the city with Jiang Shiyue.
Chen Shanhe went to the office and took Jiang Shiyue with him.
Jiang Shiyue wondered, "What are you doing at the agency?"
"I calculated that the vacation time isn't enough to send you back. I'll ask our leader for two more days off."
"Huh?" Jiang Shiyue seemed to have discovered a new world. "Can you guys extend your vacation?"
She thought the army had strict discipline and that a month was just a month without a single day's delay.
"Overdrafts are available in special circumstances."
"What's the meaning?"
"If you have an emergency, you can ask for personal leave, but the days you ask for leave will be deducted from next year's vacation."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
Quite humane.
A bit less humane.
**
Chen Shanhe went to the office to discuss extending his leave and submitting a report for transfer.
Jiang Shiyue went straight to the department store with more than 800 new clothes.
To be precise, it was Chen Shanhe who sent someone to take her to the department store.
Jiang Shiyue went around to the back of the department store, followed the staff passage upstairs and went straight to Director Yu's office.
Director Yu was very surprised to see Jiang Shiyue pushing the door open, "Comrade Jiang? Long time no see!"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"What brings you here? Come sit down! Would you like tea or water?"
"Just water, thank you. My nickname is the Fortune Boy, so I came to see you for good reasons."
Director Yu's eyes lit up, "Then thank you very much!"
Jiang Shiyue waved her hand and said, "Director Yu, I won't waste my time talking to you. Please come down with me and take a look at the goods first."
**
When they got downstairs, the driver had already helped move all the modified tools from the car. He said hello to Jiang Shiyue and drove away.
"What is this?" Director Yu looked confused.
