All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

The two of them are not only fellow Harbin residents, but also from the same town. When they chat, they have too many common topics.

Gao Hongbing joined the army in 1944. His immediate relatives at home are no longer there. After changing jobs, he stayed in Kyoto and did not return to his hometown.

He just got married this summer. His wife is a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the affiliated hospital. They are both working in the unit and they applied for housing together. Only then can they get the same house as Yue Wenxuan.

Gao Hongbing's house has the same layout as Yue Wenxuan's house, both are 18 square meters, and both have two rooms inside and outside. The only difference is that one has a north window and the other has a south window.

Because they live across the street, they definitely have to move around more. In just a few days, the two of them became close friends.

Yue Wenxuan washed his hands and asked casually: "My sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, is she working overtime again?"

"I just entered the delivery room when I got off work. I don't think I can get out first. If everything goes well, it will take two or three hours."

"Then don't cook. I'll prepare two dishes and we'll have a few drinks."

"Okay, then just drink two cups. You are good at cooking. Come be the chef and I will help you."

Gao Hongbing likes to drink wine. When his wife is not at home, he and Yue Wenxuan often get together to have a few drinks.

"I still have a handful of garlic sprouts at home. I'll fry a piece of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts. There's also a piece of salted fish. I'll stew it now and serve a plate of scrambled eggs. What do you think?"

On normal days, when two people get together to have a drink, there is no need to be so sumptuous, but today Gao Hongbing helped, so he had to express his gratitude no matter what.

"Why is it so rich? We two can't eat so much. You'd better keep that salted fish of yours. Just don't forget to call me when you make the stew next time.

I still have a bag of peanuts at home, so I went to get them. There are also two stir-fried dishes, which are enough for the two of us. "

Yue Wenxuan was not polite to Gao Hongbing, "It's fine, I'll do whatever you want. Save the salted fish for next time."

I was just frying two dishes. The honeycomb briquette stove and the kerosene stove were turned on at the same time. The cooking speed was very fast. The food was on the table in less than half an hour.

Gao Hongbing said with envy: "It is convenient to have a kerosene stove. You don't need it normally. When you are in a hurry, you can just turn on the fire.

Four or five families on our floor have bought kerosene stoves. I also want to buy one, but I don’t have enough money yet. Why do I need to save more? "

"I suggest you don't buy it. Isn't my kerosene stove also yours? When you need it, just take it and use it.

You have also seen that I don't turn on the kerosene stove very often. How can you be polite to me for such a trivial matter? "

Gao Hongbing said loudly: "When did I become polite to you? Don't think too much about it. I didn't mean it that way.

I feel that we should try our best to buy all the things we should buy at home. If we don’t have enough money, we should make do with it first. If we have money, we still have to buy everything. "

"Can my sister-in-law agree? My sister-in-law has always lived a frugal life. The price of buying a coal stove that is of little use is still so high. With her personality, she definitely does not want to buy such a useless thing."

After being together for such a long time, Yue Wenxuan has basically mastered the personalities and temperaments of the young couple.

Gao Hongbing is a carefree man with a very forthright and generous personality. He is originally from the Northeast. In addition, due to the influence of the times, he has very serious male chauvinist habits and has always said the same thing at home.

People with a bold personality usually have the problem of spending money lavishly and are not used to living a calculated life.

Although Gao Hongbing's wife is a college student, she also comes from an ordinary family. She was used to living a hard life and lived a very frugal life.

In this period, among ordinary people, men are still the masters of the house. It would be a shame for a gentleman to be unable to control his wife.

This is Gao Hongbing's concept. He believes that he has to make decisions on all matters in the family.

Gao Hongbing's wife Chen Yujin was affected by the environment of this era and gave Gao Hongbing a lot of face when outsiders were present.

But when the two of them are alone, Gao Hongbing's face is not so easy to use. If two people have a conflict on something, Chen Yujin usually has the final say in the final result.

The young couple often quarrel over some trivial matter, and each side always has its own reasons. Chen Yujin is a very reasonable person and can always give out many reasonable-sounding reasons. Gao Hongbing couldn't convince her and had to give in in the end.

“I am the head of the family, of course you have to listen to me whether to buy or not to buy.

Our wages are not low, and I have no burden. With such a monthly salary, it is easy to buy a kerosene stove.

Your sister-in-law lives a bit too frugally and always wants to save money. Saving money is of course a good thing, but sooner or later you have to buy what you need to buy. You can’t just make do with it all the time, right?

With both of our salaries, the last two years have been a bit tight. Once we have everything in place, life will naturally be easier. Isn’t it easy to save money at that time? "

Hearing this, Yue Wenxuan took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Bing, you don't have much burden on your family. With your salary level, you should be able to save some money in the past few years. You just got married, why didn't you buy more things? "

Gao Hongbing was silent for a moment, and then said: "My family doesn't have much burden, but I have many comrades, many of whom are having a hard time after recovering. After I know that, I have to try my best to help.

We, grassroots officers, did not receive much in the way of allowances before. The salary system was implemented only this year, and all the wages we earned before we were transferred to the military were funded by me to our comrades.

When I got married, I didn't have much money, so I didn't buy much. "

"You used to live alone, and you could spend whatever you wanted with the salary you earned. But now you have two people living together. You still have to discuss spending matters with your sister-in-law." Yue Wenxuan persuaded her tactfully.

"We must discuss it. All the money in the family is in her hands. If she doesn't give it to me, I won't be able to spend it even if I want to.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I didn't expect that she was so thoughtful. She agreed in a daze that she would receive her monthly salary. Just like that, the financial power of the family came into her hands.

Obviously I earn more than her, but I still have to ask her for a little money every month. I regret it so much now, and I don’t know if I can still find a way to get the money back. "Having said this, Gao Hongbing looked dejected.

"What are you taking it back for? Are you afraid that she will secretly give the money to her parents' family?"

"If I had another wife, I might be worried about this. Your sister-in-law is not like that.

She is too stingy, and she is also very stingy towards her parents' family. She has a lot of nice words but no real actions when it is her turn.

It's not as generous as me to bring a few things with me every time I go back to my parents' house. ” ˆ ˆ “If this is the case, as your friend, I still support my sister-in-law taking over the financial power of the family.

As long as the sister-in-law doesn't give all the money to her parents' family, it would be better for the couple to live a happy life, and it would be better for the more frugal person to take control of the finances. "

Yue Wenxuan regarded Gao Hongbing as a true friend and naturally thought about their little family.

“I also understand this truth, that is, the money is not in my hands and it is inconvenient to spend it.

Since I got married, let alone secretly subsidizing my comrades, even if I want to buy something for my family, I have to get her permission first.

If she didn't agree, she wouldn't give me the money. Even if I wanted to spend it, I wouldn't have it in my pocket.

You said that I, a big man, have to ask her for a small amount of money. What's wrong with this? If I had known that life would be like this after marrying a wife, it would be better to remain single. "Gao Hongbing was a little depressed.

"Ordinary people live like this. If one of the couple has big hands, the other must be careful with money. Otherwise, no matter how much salary you earn every month, you won't be able to save money. Life like that is even more difficult.

Think about it on the other hand, if your sister-in-law is also a spendthrift, and the monthly salary she earns is either a supplement to her parents' family or donated to those patients who have no money to treat diseases. If you meet such a wife, your life will be smooth. What does it look like? "

Gao Hongbing has been with Yue Wenxuan for such a long time, and has a basic understanding of his character. He knows that he is a very tight-lipped person, and even after two ounces of wine, he can't help but confide:

"I actually understand what you said.

Before recovery, I actually had a conversation with someone. "

This should be regarded as a little secret of Gao Hongbing. He had never mentioned it before, and Yue Wenxuan did not speak, but listened carefully.

"The person I was talking to was introduced to me by the wife of one of my chiefs. She was a dancer in the art troupe. She was extremely beautiful. I saw her right at first sight.

Of course I am very happy to have such a good partner. Dancers' expenses are relatively high, and I basically gave her monthly allowance as a supplement. But at that time, the allowance was too small, and even if I gave it to her, I wouldn't have much money. "

Speaking of the past, Gao Hongbing seemed to be lost in memories and drank two glasses of wine without speaking.

"Then why did you separate? It's not because your allowance is too small, right?"

Gao Hongbing didn't answer, drank another glass of wine, and said in a depressed mood: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the main reason why we broke up.

The two of us had been dating for only three or four months in total. Since the chief's wife was the introducer, she couldn't break up directly, so she found an excuse and was seconded to another place.

Later, we had less contact, and I changed jobs due to an injury during training, so we naturally broke up. "

“It’s not a bad thing to have such a past. Regardless of men or women, if they can experience more relationships, they will become more mature in life.

Now that you have such an experience, don’t you think a woman who lives a prudent life like your sister-in-law is more suitable for you?

If you still meet a woman who spends money lavishly, then you should worry about the low salary.

Don't think that your monthly salary of more than ninety yuan is a lot. If a woman wants to spend money, this amount of money is far from enough. "

Gao Hongbing told the truth, "Actually, I am mentally prepared for this. Otherwise, there are so many beautiful girls, why would I have to choose someone like your sister-in-law.

After having a relationship experience, I always felt that pretty girls were unreliable, and I had to choose someone down-to-earth to live my life.

After I changed my career, many people introduced me to potential partners. One of them was a very beautiful girl, no worse than that dancer.

But in the end I chose your sister-in-law, who is ordinary-looking, not only because I think she is educated, but also because she has endured hardship and lived a frugal life.

It was only after I met your sister-in-law that I realized that it turns out that you educated people don’t have it easy either, and you have to endure hardships in order to go to school. "

Yue Wenxuan couldn't help but complain: "You are so arrogant. My sister-in-law is also a college student after all. Just because of this, she can't find any kind of partner.

You just look pretty good and your salary is a little higher. Do you have any other advantages besides that? Sister-in-law, if you choose carefully, you will definitely be able to choose something better than you. "

"What does it mean to look okay? It's very good! Of course it can't be compared with you, but your sister-in-law likes my style. In her words, she looks like a hero who has walked through the hail of bullets."

Seeing Gao Hongbing's triumphant look, Yue Wenxuan mocked: "You, a big man, are looking for a wife based on your face. You are not afraid of embarrassment if you say it."

"Why should I be afraid of being embarrassed? Isn't this the truth? A woman can find a good wife based on her face, but can't I find a good wife based on my face?

Besides, I’m not just good with this face, I’m good inside and out! If your sister-in-law can see me right, that’s because she has discernment and is destined to enjoy happiness in this life. "

Gao Hongbing was so thick-skinned that Yue Wenxuan was shocked, "After staying in the army for a long time, there are few people who are not thick-skinned. I don't know what your military skills are, but this face has definitely been honed.

As long as you maintain this fine tradition and make good use of your biggest advantage, I think my sister-in-law will be unable to do anything to you. "

When two people have a drink, they will not drink more than one bottle of wine at most.

After finishing a bottle of wine, both of them felt very happy. Gao Hongbing said, "I'm going to buy a big vat in two days and accumulate a vat of sauerkraut. Do you want to buy one too?"

"Of course I have to buy one. I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never thought about it. How big are you going to buy? I live alone, so I just buy a medium-sized one."

Yue Wenxuan is also from the Northeast, and of course he also thinks from the Northeast.

"I plan to buy a big vat. After winter, I will live on sauerkraut. Whether it is stir-frying, stewing, mixing vegetables or making stuffing, I think sauerkraut is better.

I plan to leave less Chinese cabbage outside, and the rest will accumulate into sauerkraut. Moreover, the sauerkraut is not easy to break after being accumulated, so you can also save some money. "

Yue Wenxuan agreed: "Then you should buy a big vat. Even if you can't eat it yourself, you can give it to relatives and friends as a favor.

Many people here don't have the habit of hoarding sauerkraut. If you give sauerkraut to others, it will definitely be popular.

If you think it tastes good, someone will definitely learn how to make sauerkraut from you. "
