Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 115

On February 2th, there is only one day left before the New Year's Eve.

Haotian Group started the holiday.

Except for some on-duty personnel, most of the employees are on two-day vacation.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhigang returned home with the benefits of the Spring Festival. At the same time, he also received a year-end bonus, a total of 100 million yuan, which was like a dream.

"Wife, I'm back."

"Why did you come back now? The old Wang and his wife next door had their vacation at the end of last month."

Gu Haiyan came over and complained.

"What's the comparison? Lao Wang only earns more than 2 yuan a month, and my current salary is almost three times that of his." Fang Zhigang explained helplessly.

Gu Haiyan took two big bags from her husband and couldn't help but curiously said:

"What? Why is it so heavy?"

"The Spring Festival benefits from the company."

"Really? Let me see what's posted?"

Gu Haiyan suddenly became interested.

I heard from my husband that their company is a big company, and the boss has always been very generous. Their old Fang is now a senior executive of the company, and the benefits must not be bad.

Fang Zhigang replied with a smile: "The food is not bad. There are a total of ten catties of whale meat and twenty catties of mushrooms, enough for our family to eat for a month."

"It's not only good, it's much better than I expected. The food stamps just issued a few days ago were originally intended to be distributed during the Chinese New Year. I thought they would be able to distribute some good things, but in the end I didn't even get half a catty of pork."

Gu Haiyan's tone was full of surprise.

"Is pork so popular?"

Fang Zhigang was a little surprised.

"Look at what you said, who doesn't want to eat better when it's Chinese New Year?"

"How much is a catty of pork on the market now?"

"Well, right now there is no market. You can't buy pork at all, and occasionally you can buy some seafood, but the price is ridiculously expensive. It costs two to three thousand a catty."

"Two or three thousand? Is that an exaggeration?"

"Who says it's not? But then again, there are tens of millions of people in the city. With so many mouths, no amount of meat is enough."

Fang Zhigang nodded: "Cut out half of the whale meat later, and ask the boss to come and get it."

The eldest son of their family has been married for several years, and the two families live not far away. In addition, the couple also has a daughter who just married to Shencheng next door last year.

"understood."

Gu Haiyan agreed wholeheartedly.

In less than half an hour, Fang Jie's family arrived.

Fang Zhigang quickly took over his grandson from his daughter-in-law Xu Li. Due to his busy work, he hadn't hugged the little one for a long time.

"Dad, how many days off do you have for Chinese New Year?"

"I have to be on duty, not on vacation."

Fang Zhigang shook his head.

"So busy?" Fang Jie asked in surprise.

"No way, your dad and I are the director of security now, so we have to lead by example."

Fang Zhigang explained casually.

After a while, Gu Haiyan came over with a large plate of braised whale meat:
"Have you had dinner yet?"

"What else!"

Fang Jie, who smelled the smell of meat, immediately changed his words.

In fact, their family has already eaten.

Xu Li couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mom, where did you buy this meat? I'll also weigh a few catties tomorrow."

"This is whale meat. It was issued by your father's company. You can take some back later."

"Dad, your company can do it, and it's still giving out meat. It's much better than our company. Let alone giving out things during the Spring Festival, we only pay one-third of the wages."

Fang Jie couldn't help but envy.

His father was unemployed in middle age, yet he could still find such a good job, not only with high salary, but also with good benefits.

"Wow, grandma, I want meat."

The little guy couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the meat.

Fang Zhigang greeted with a smile: "Okay, let's eat quickly, don't starve Liangliang."

"Mom, Liangliang has eaten at home, so don't put more food in it." Xu Li hurriedly reminded.

"Then let him eat more meat and eat less."

Gu Haiyan smiled and nodded.

After the dinner started, Fang Zhigang first helped his grandson pick up two large pieces of whale meat. The whale meat has less thorns, which is very suitable for children.

The little guy ate happily and his mouth was full of oil.

Gu Haiyan looked at it with some distress: "Oh, look at Liangliang, you two should not be too frugal, why save so much money?"

"Mom, we still have to repay the mortgage!" Fang Jie said bitterly, "The interest rate on the mortgage was just raised this month, and Xu Li and I did the math, and we have to pay twice as much as before. We paid back part of it in advance. Otherwise, it would be too bad."

Right now the currency is depreciating rapidly, but what is irritating is that wages have not increased by a dime, and coupled with the high unemployment rate, the pressure of life for ordinary people is still very high.

Fang Zhigang gave his wife a wink, Gu Haiyan went to the bedroom, and when she came back, she had an extra bank card in her hand.

"Boss, this is your dad's salary card. There are 230 million in it. You can take it back to pay off the mortgage!"

"Mom, this is your pension money. I can't take it now that the world is in such a mess."

Fang Jie shook his head quickly.

A few years ago, when I got married and bought a house, I already emptied my parents' savings once. Children should not be too selfish.

Fang Zhigang smiled and comforted: "Take it, your dad and I have a job now, and the monthly salary of 8 yuan is completely enough."

"Yeah, your dad just gave out 100 million year-end awards this year, so you don't have to worry about us."

Gu Haiyan followed closely and echoed.

"100 million?" Fang Jie's eyes widened instantly, "Dad, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Damn, what kind of fairy company is this?

As long as other companies don't default on wages, they are considered very conscientious. His father's company actually gave out a year-end bonus of 100 million, which is really annoying.

"Why am I lying to you? Didn't I tell you that our boss is not short of money."

Fang Zhigang helped his grandson grab a piece of fish again.

Fang Jie patted his forehead in frustration: "Dad, I remembered, your company sold doomsday cans last year, and it must have made a lot of money."

"Hey, I bought ten boxes of doomsday cans privately before, and your mother almost divorced me, blaming me for wasting money, how are you doing now?"

"I've made a lot of money. I went shopping a few days ago and saw a canned doomsday food. The guy dared to charge 2000 yuan for a small can. I was really crazy about money."

Fang Jie muttered to himself.

Gu Haiyan's eyes lit up immediately: "Is the price so high? Why don't you sell our canned food and make a lot of money?"

"Don't be foolish, this is our family's last life-saving food, and it cannot be moved unless it is absolutely necessary."

Fang Zhigang hurriedly stopped him.

"Mom, my dad is right. Now that food stamps have been produced, the future is really not optimistic."

"I would rather sell the house than sell the canned food."

Fang Jie and his wife followed closely to persuade them.

"Okay, I'll just say it casually."

Gu Haiyan immediately dismissed the idea.

……

At the same time, after get off work, Ma Ruijie knocked on the door of the elder sister's house with a lot of presents.

She can't eat so much by herself.

Speaking of which, since the parents sold the house, they first rented the house to live in. Later, due to changes in the situation, they have been living in the two sisters' homes in turn.

This month just happened to be the eldest sister's turn.
