I messed up the Siheyuan

Liu Haizhong is a fan of officials, he is not good to his two sons, he is a bit stupid and has a bad temper...

Although he has many shortcomings, at least his values ​​are normal.

After hearing what Yan Fugui had done, he felt as if his worldview had been shattered.

After the discussion in the courtyard gradually subsided, he said with some embarrassment: "Old Yan, you...

What do you think?

Use the food that the daughter-in-law brings back from her parents' home to exchange for gold bars?

This is a bit bad! "

"What's wrong with that?" Yan Fugui curled his lips and said confidently, "We have a large family.

Before, the whole family, young and old, depended on my salary to make ends meet.

If I don’t budget carefully, my whole family will be left with nothing.”

His words immediately aroused Yan Jiecheng's dissatisfaction.

He was originally sitting, but after hesitating for a moment, he stood up, his eyes dodging, and said weakly: "Dad! ...

Since graduating from junior high school, I have been doing odd jobs.

It's been six or seven years, I...

I pay seven or eight dollars to my family every month!"

“Humph!...” Yan Fugui curled his lips and said disdainfully: “Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean by saying this?

What's going on! ...

You feel that you have made a contribution to this family, right?

Or, you should plan to spend the money you earn yourself in the future.

And then, you just have to watch your brothers and sisters starve, right?"

"Dad!..." Yan Jiecheng's tone became weaker, "That's not what I meant.

I...

I just want to say that I have contributed to our family over the years."

Yan Fugui snorted again and ignored Yan Jiecheng, turning his head to look at Niu Guihua who was standing beside him.

"Solve it into a daughter-in-law!..."

"Don't feel wronged!"

"I told your father before when he was trying to broker a reconciliation between you."

"Our family lives in poverty. You will have to endure some hardships after you marry into our family."

"At that time, your father agreed wholeheartedly."

"He also said a lot of things like 'My girl is not squeamish and can endure hardships'!"

"What? Now that the matter has been settled, you want to regret it? You want to split up the family?"

"I'm telling you: I don't agree!"

"Yes, the food I wanted to exchange for gold bars was brought from your mother's home."

"But since these grains have entered our Yan family, you can't do whatever you want with them, right?"

"As the head of the family, I have to consider everything about the whole family."

"I can't say that..."

"You made peace with it and ate your fill, while the rest of us starved and watched!"

When Yan Fugui said this, Niu Guihua interrupted unconvincedly, "Dad, I didn't say I would let you starve!

I brought a lot of food!

It’s enough to feed our whole family.

And my dad also said...

From now on, you will sponsor our family with some food every month.

you...

If you didn't exchange the gold bar, wouldn't you be able to feed your whole family?"

"No!" Yan Fugui shook his head firmly, "Jie Cheng's wife, this gold bar must be exchanged!"

As he spoke, he sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Jie Cheng's wife, I won't hide it from you!"

"Not only are we a large family, but we also earn little money."

“The wages I settled for were all low.”

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a teacher. But my monthly salary is less than 30 yuan!"

"Xie Cheng has been doing odd jobs these years, and his income is even more unstable."

"When it's a lot, I can only make 11 or 12 bucks a month."

"When it's low, it's only eight or nine dollars."

"After so many years, our family hasn't saved much money."

"I have to spend almost all the money I earn every month to provide for my family."

"So, I want to seize this opportunity and exchange food for gold bars."

"With two or three gold bars as a foundation, even if something happens in the future, won't our family be able to support it?"

"If you become a daughter-in-law, take care of your belly and hold on for a while, you can save some money for this family in a month at most."

“What a value!”

......

Yan Fugui's words were eloquent and sincere.

The image of stingy and calculating people in everyone's mind suddenly changed...

He became a good father and a good parent who had to be frugal in order to support a family.

After hearing his words, everyone in the courtyard nodded in approval.

Even Niu Guihua, the victim, showed a hint of hesitation on her face.

People like Sha Zhu who are easy to fool had red eyes.

He wiped his eyes and said to Wang Ping with a sigh, "Pingzi, after all these years, no wonder Third Uncle is so stingy!

He would try to take advantage of anyone who came through the front door...

It turns out that it is not easy for him! "

Wang Ping smiled and said with a hint of disdain: "Brother Zhuzi, it is true that the Third Uncle is stingy and calculating.

But to say that it is not easy for him is not necessarily true.”

"Maybe not?" Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Ping with some confusion, "Pingzi, what do you mean?"

"What did you say?" Wang Ping curled his lips, "Brother Zhuzi, Uncle San's monthly salary is not less than 30 yuan as he said!"

"Uh! ... Pingzi..." Shazhu was even more confused, "Look at what you mean, do you know how much money the third uncle makes?"

"I don't know." Wang Ping shook his head, "But we can calculate it!"

"Before liberation, the third uncle was a teacher at Red Star Primary School."

"Of course. At that time, Red Star Primary School seemed to be called 'Reform Primary School'."

"The name of Red Star Primary School was changed after liberation, along with the Red Star Steel Mill."

"Brother Zhuzi, do you still remember Mr. Zhao from Yandaixie Hutong?"

"I remember!" Sha Zhu nodded, "That old man is also a teacher at Hongxing Primary School. He also taught my sister, Yu Shui!

By the way...I think that old man died of illness last year?"

"Yes!..." Wang Ping nodded and replied: "Yes, he died of illness.

However, I heard Mr. Zhao mention it when he was still alive.

He said...

When the country was just liberated, in order to retain these teachers, the state gave them a very high salary level.

For a primary school teacher like him who has taught for many years and is relatively senior, his salary alone is 52 yuan a month, not counting subsidies.

It is precisely because of this high salary that he can allow his family of six to live a comfortable life.

Compared with the period before liberation, their family's living standard has made a qualitative leap.

At least, we don’t have to worry about food at the end of each month.”

When Wang Ping said this, Sha Zhu already understood.

He widened his eyes and stammered, "Pingzi, what do you mean...?

Right after liberation, Uncle Sanye was already getting a high salary? "
