Jiang Yun instructed Chen Zhenbao to help put the cabinets in place and install the table.
Especially the dining table, which is simple and elegant and can also be used as a desk. She was very satisfied with it.
Chen Zhenbao said, "Teacher Xiao Jiang, everyone praised your wardrobe and dining table as beautiful as soon as they were completed. Our carpenters have been working tirelessly to make over ten wardrobes according to your drawings. The dining table for our family was also enlarged by two sizes according to your drawings."
Jiang Yun was delighted. "Oh, I'm glad you like it! Captain Chen, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Invite your comrades to join us."
Chen Zhenbao was waiting for this sentence: "Okay, I'll ask someone who can cook to come over this afternoon, so you don't have to do it yourself."
Jiang Jun waved his hand: "No, no, I can do it myself."
The person who can cook must not be Li Caixia, because the food she cooks is really not tasty.
How could Chen Zhenbao let Jiang Jun do it? "We have two comrades from Sichuan who cook really good food. Don't worry, Teacher Jiang. Oh, and Chief of Staff Chen called and asked you to collect your salary."
"Oh, I'll pick it up in a moment."
"Staff Officer Chen also said that his seal was in the first drawer and the envelope stamp was in the second drawer."
Jiang Jun was stunned. Damn it, she forgot to write the letter!
Based on the number of two letters a week and four letters every two weeks, she would have to write at least two thousand words in the evening to hand it in!
While Jiang Jun was thinking about the content of the letter, he cleaned the dormitory inside and out again. He had not been home for more than ten days, and the dormitory was covered with a layer of dust.
The cleaning was almost done, but Jiang Jun still hadn't decided what to write. He felt that doing housework was much easier than writing a letter.
"Excuse me, is this the home of Chief of Staff Chen Yuanwu?" someone asked at the door.
Jiang Jun hurried out and saw a soldier at the door. "It's Chief of Staff Chen's house. What's going on?"
The soldier stood at attention and saluted, pointing to the large basket at his feet: "This is what Secretary Cui from the Life Department asked me to bring over."
The festival is coming soon, and we have distributed a lot of festival supplies. Together with the daily necessities distributed every month, it fills a large basket.
Jiang Jun handed an apple to the soldier, not wanting his hard work to go to waste: "Thank you for sending it here."
The soldier was a little flattered. It was the first time someone was so polite to him. "No, no, it's what I should do."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away with a red face.
Jiang Jun bent down and carried the items in the basket into the house one by one. Only then did he realize that he needed at least a lot more things to buy at home, such as a cupboard for tableware and kitchen utensils, a sideboard for food, and it would be best if there was also a chest of drawers in the bedroom.
With this calculation, a lot of furniture would have to be added. Jiang Jun thought, why not just not go back to the military headquarters at night and stay in the dormitory to write letters and draw pictures?
Looking at the time, it was just past eleven. Jiang Jun changed his clothes, combed his hair, took his personal seal and went to collect his salary.
Jiang Yun thought she'd have to explain herself, but she didn't expect Chen Yuanwu to call her. When she went, he simply asked her to sign and stamp the package, then handed her the pay packet. "Count it and see if the number is right."
The pay packet is bulging, much thicker than I imagined!
Jiang Jun opened the string that sealed it and took out the pay slip to have a look. Oh my god, her Lao Wu's salary was higher than Jiang Yonghua's, and his job allowance and living allowance were naturally much higher as well. It was just that he had been in the army for a shorter time, so his military service allowance was a little lower than Jiang Yonghua's. Just looking at the total amount, she had found a golden rice bowl!
After counting the bills, he found that they all matched: "Yes, thank you!"
"Here are the grain coupons, cloth coupons, and sugar coupons. Please select them."
Jiang Jun wondered how Chen Yuanwu, who was issued military uniforms year-round, could have so many cloth coupons. "That's a lot."
"Well, this is clothing expenses for the family members."
Jiang Jun was secretly shocked. This was such a good treatment. "Anything else?"
"Staff Officer Chen's royalties won't be paid until the end of the month. He called and told me that you should come collect them then. We have a summary meeting on the 29th of every month, so please come on the morning of the 30th."
"Okay, I'll be there on time, thank you! Bye!"
"Don't you want to save some money?" Secretary Sun, who is in charge of finance, didn't expect Jiang Jun to leave with the salary bag, and couldn't help but remind him.
Jiang Jun was stunned. Wasn't saving money a personal matter? Why did the government have so much control? "Can't you just go to the bank and deposit it yourself?"
To be honest, she didn't even know which way the bank door faced.
In the past, Jiang Yonghua’s salary was barely enough to support a family of four, and their expenses were often insufficient to cover their income. The Jiang family didn’t even need to go to the bank to save money, and Jiang Yun’s pocket money could only amount to a few coins at most.
Secretary Sun explained, "We go to the People's Bank of China once a month and can apply for certificates of deposit on behalf of officers. Staff Officer Chen has always done that."
Jiang Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Staff Officer Chen and discuss it. Can I wait until the end of the month to collect my manuscript fee and then process it?"
"Okay, okay, go back and discuss it first." Secretary Sun slapped his head suddenly, realizing, "You are the family member of Staff Officer Chen?"
Jiang Jun was puzzled. If I wasn't a family member, why would I be here? "Yes."
Secretary Sun put on a smile and said, "I heard about it!"
I heard from Secretary Cui about Jiang Yun's confrontation with Secretary Niu. It is normal for neighbors to have some friction, and no one takes it seriously. The main reason is that Jiang Yun's response method is too special, which can be regarded as a surprise victory.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the person who dares to draw a knife and roar be a burly and strong person like Sun Erniang?
Secretary Sun's expression did not hide his inner thoughts at all.
Jiang Jun saw through it immediately and could only remain silent. It turned out that these people only judged people by appearance! And they were even more gossipy than she had imagined!
