After returning home, Lu Changzheng handed Su Mo the 243 yuan he had just received, together with the red envelope that Li Yue'e had given him just now and received at yesterday's wedding banquet.
"Daughter-in-law, you keep this money. From now on, all our family's money will be yours."
Then he led Su Mo back to the room, took out a military luggage bag from the kangqin, took out two bankbooks from the bag, and handed them to Su Mo.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the money I have saved over the years. These two passbooks, one is issued by the bank in my army, and the other is issued by the bank at home." Lu Changzheng motioned to Su Mo to open it and take a look.
At Lu Changzheng's signal, Su Mo first opened one of the bankbooks, which was from the bank of Lu Changzheng's army. The last deposit was in 68 years, with a total of 1,000 yuan.
Su Mo opened another one, a bank in Qingxi County, with 1,500 yuan. I originally had 2,000 yuan, but I withdrew 500 yuan a few days ago.
Su Mo was a little shocked. She didn't expect that Lu Changzheng could save so much money after sending so much money to his family.
"You haven't spent any money these years?" Su Mo asked subconsciously.
"There is nothing to spend money on in the army. I started working early, so I saved some money." Lu Changzheng said. He often takes on tasks and has little time to spend money.
"So, daughter-in-law, if you don't want to do farm work, don't do it, just stay at home. Our family has savings, and my current salary is not low, so I can support you." Lu Changzheng said seriously.
His wife had tender skin and tender flesh, and he really couldn't bear to let her suffer.
"How much is your monthly salary now?" Su Mo was a little curious.
"After I was promoted to deputy battalion level last year, I got a monthly salary of 89 yuan." Lu Changzheng said.
"Then how much was your initial salary?" Su Mo was still very curious about the salary of soldiers in this era.
Lu Changzheng was very happy to see that his wife wanted to know more about him, so he explained to her in detail: "In the first two years, I was a soldier. At that time, there was no salary, but there was an allowance, 6 yuan per month in the first year, and 6 yuan per month in the second year. 7 yuan per month per year.”
"In the third year, I got promoted and became a platoon leader, with a salary of 57 yuan. However, after I got promoted, I had to pay food expenses to the army every month. According to the food standards of soldiers, I paid 57 yuan every month. 14 yuan is deducted, so you only get 43 yuan.”
"In the fourth year, I made another contribution and was promoted to deputy company commander, and my salary was raised to 63 yuan. In the fifth year, I was promoted to company commander, and my salary was 72 yuan. Last year, I was promoted to deputy battalion, and my salary was 89 yuan."
Although Lu Changzheng said it was easy, it seemed that promotion was easy, but Su Mo knew that he had paid for all this with his life. She didn't notice it when it was dark last night, but this morning, she saw many scars on the man's body, including gun scars and knife scars.
Su Mo felt a little distressed, so she touched his hand and said, "Don't fight so hard in the future."
"Okay." Lu Changzheng replied calmly. How could he not fight? He had to make her eligible to join the army as soon as possible.
"I'm serious." Seeing that Lu Changzheng was not serious, Su Mo emphasized.
"Daughter-in-law, do you feel sorry for me?"
Su Mo nodded.
"If you really feel sorry for me, come with me tonight, okay?" Lu Changzheng leaned close to Su Mo and whispered in Su Mo's ear.
Su Mo rolled her eyes at him, this is not serious.
Come on, there's nothing to feel bad about. She still feels bad about herself.
Lu Changzheng curled his lips and smiled, then kissed his wife's face deeply.
Su Mo was absolutely pissed off by him. When he was so serious, all he could think about was trash.
Su Mo was about to hand the bankbook back to Lu Changzheng, but something seemed wrong, so she quickly calculated it in her mind.
According to the salary Lu Changzheng just mentioned, even if he didn't spend a penny over the years, he would only be able to save a maximum of 2,232 yuan. But the two bankbooks add up to 2,500 yuan, not to mention that he built a house and spent a lot on his wedding.
"Besides salary, do you have no other allowances?" Su Mo asked.
"The allowance is gone, but if you complete the task, you will be rewarded." Lu Changzheng said. He was a little proud in his heart. His wife was so smart. She suddenly realized that her savings and salary were not commensurate with each other.
The leader of their group always had conflicts with his wife because he loved to hide his personal money. He was not prepared to imitate her, so it was best to explain every income and expense to his wife clearly.
"Over the years, the rewards I received from the task force were about 1,500 yuan. I didn't have any big expenses. The big one was when I was building a house, I sent another 300 yuan back."
"The rest were all spent when we got married. I paid 200 yuan for the bride price myself, and then spent 138 yuan on the sewing machine. The rest was meat for the banquet, tobacco and alcohol, and things for our family. A total of nearly 300 yuan was spent. money."
Su Mo calculated that Lu Changzheng was quite economical. He had spent less than 300 yuan over the years.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, your man didn't hide any private money." Lu Changzheng leaned over and smiled.
Su Mo gave him a look, "It doesn't matter if you hide it. How can a man not have any money in his hands when he is out there?"
After saying that, she handed all the bankbooks in her hand back to Lu Changzheng. She was not the kind of person who wanted to dig out all the money from a man.
But Lu Changzheng refused.
"Daughter-in-law, I told you to take care of the money. From now on, I will send back a few yuan of your monthly salary as pocket money and the rest."
"Really leave it all to me?"
"Yeah." Lu Changzheng was extremely serious.
Su Mo thought for a while and handed the 1,000 yuan passbook to Lu Changzheng.
"Keep this passbook there. If you need money urgently for something in the army, you won't be out of money."
Su Mo thought that this was what Lu Changzheng meant when he separated his money in two places. Both sides have money, and when the time comes, no matter which side needs money urgently, they can get it. At this time, banks did not have the function of withdrawing money across provinces.
Lu Changzheng thought about it and accepted it.
"Daughter-in-law, I will keep this passbook. I promise not to spend it randomly."
"Also, your monthly salary will remain the same as before. Just remit 20 yuan back. You can save the rest first and then bring it back to the bank."
Lu Changzheng frowned, how could this be done? How could 20 yuan be enough for his wife?
"Listen to me first. 20 yuan is quite a lot in the countryside. Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If it's more, someone will have bad intentions."
There is no such thing as privacy in this era. The amount of money to be transferred is clearly written on the remittance notice, and anyone with an interest in it can easily see it. She didn't want anything to happen because Lu Changzheng sent her a lot of money.
20 yuan is just the right amount, not too much and not too little.
Lu Changzheng thought about it and realized the same reason. Anyway, there is still some money at home, enough for my wife to use for a while.
"Then if you don't have enough, go to the county bank to pay yourself." Lu Changzheng explained, "Don't be reluctant to eat. I will exchange food stamps with my comrades when I return to the army, and then I will send it back to you to buy rice."
"It won't be enough." Su Mo saw the big bag with red seals on the side and remembered that she hadn't told Lu Changzheng how many red seals Geng Changqing had given.
"Uncle Geng gave me two red envelopes yesterday, each costing 200 yuan each." Su Mo added.
Lu Changzheng was startled. It seemed that Geng Changqing had a good relationship with his wife's family, so he thought about it and asked.
"Daughter-in-law, what does Secretary Geng have to do with your family?"
"He was raised by my grandfather. Although he was confiscated as an adopted son, he is almost the same as an adopted son."
Lu Changzheng understood that such a relationship was possible even with the 200 yuan letter. Geng Changqing's salary should be similar to him. 200 yuan is only more than two months' salary, which is still affordable.
Speaking of this, Su Mo suddenly became curious about Su Tingde's salary and asked, "How much salary does the teacher have?"
"Each region is different, and the salary is also different, but it all fluctuates by a few dollars, probably before 200~217." Their army is a dangerous unit on the front line, and the salary has always been relatively high. Their division commander's The salary is 217 yuan.
Su Mo nodded.
"Let's open the red envelope. If there are names written on them, please note them down so that we can return the favor next time." Su Mo said.
So the two opened the red envelopes again, and received a total of 223 red envelopes, 100 fifty cents, 75 one yuan, 46 two yuan, one five yuan, one ten yuan, a total of Get a gift of 232 yuan. There are also 4 food stamps worth 4 taels each.
The 5-yuan letter belongs to the captain, Lu Baoguo, and the 10-yuan letter belongs to Lu Guoping.
Lu Changzheng laughed a little when he saw it.
"This kid got married this year. I asked my dad to give him 10 yuan, but he gave it back to me."
Su Mo also had a good impression of Lu Guoping and said, "I think he is quite good. If I can help him in the future, I will give him a hand."
