Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 632: Feeling Confident

Hearing her son's expectant answer, the old lady felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and she became completely relaxed.

Seeing Kang Yu very satisfied, he continued: "Son..."

"We don't want to be a front office manager. As long as you can earn 180 yuan a month, Mom will be very satisfied..."

"More than 180 yuan. If I remember correctly, the combined salary of the two workers in your second uncle's family is only 80 yuan, less than half of yours."

"My son has finally made it big. He's better than them."

"So your second uncle also said that it was unstable for you to work for the capitalists, and that you might be liquidated one day, so he asked you to work in the factory as an apprentice."

"If you really change your house to become an apprentice in a factory, your income in a year will only be as high as what you earn in a month at Dongjun Hotel."

"You must work hard in the restaurant in the future."

"Boss Wang gives you such a high salary, you must not do anything to let Boss Wang down, otherwise Mom will definitely be rude to you."

Kang Yu quickly replied: "Mom..."

"do not worry……"

"My boss is very good to me and trusts me very much. I will definitely do my best to help him and repay his kindness to me."

"I will definitely not do anything to let him down in the restaurant, so don't worry..."

"Now that our family is rich, you must not save money like you do now. It's too harmful to your health. Not only do you buy 50 cents worth of meat every day, you must buy 50 cents worth of meat every two days."

"Don't eat cornmeal steamed bread anymore. Switch to white flour steamed bread instead."

"If you can't bear to buy meat or make white flour buns, I'll pack them for you at the restaurant."

"Even if you buy 50 cents of pork every two days and eat white flour buns every day, you will spend at most 20 yuan a month."

"My son's salary next month will be at least 180 yuan. After deducting your 20 yuan living expenses, we can still save 160 yuan. We can save almost 2,000 yuan a year. We are not short of money..."

After listening to her son's explanation, the old lady looked more relaxed than before and immediately replied, "Okay... I'll listen to you."

"From now on, I will buy pork worth fifty cents every other day and eat white flour buns for every meal."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke again: "By the way...son..."

"Since you have a stable job now and can get a salary of 100 yuan per month, which is higher than the salary of a senior fitter in the factory, can I find a wife for you?"

"Many young men your age have already had sons, but you don't even have a wife."

"Now Mom only has one wish..."

"I'll find you a wife as soon as possible, and give birth to two grandchildren for the Kang family."

"This way, even if I go to the underworld in the future, I can give your father an explanation."

Kang Yu quickly refused: "Mom..."

"Don't worry about this matter..."

"There are many lesbians in our hotel..."

"If I really want to find one, I will definitely look for one in the hotel first. At least we can work together and know each other well."

"If I can't find it, I'll bother you again..."

Home of Ma Xingwen, captain of the hotel security team.

Ever since Ma Xingwen quit his job as the team leader of the steel mill security department, and his wife had a big fight with him, the couple started a cold war.

Although my husband's salary at the steel mill is a little low, he is still a cadre after all. He is in charge of more than a dozen security officers, so he can have face when he goes out.

Giving up the job of team leader of the steel mill security department would be tantamount to destroying one's own future.

Because many of the neighbors in the yard are employees of the steel rolling mill, and they know that her husband used to be the team leader of the security department of the steel rolling mill, they always greet her with a respectful smile when they see her.

My wife also particularly enjoys the feeling of being pampered.

Ever since her husband resigned from the steel mill, and people knew that her husband no longer worked there, the neighbors who once complimented her no longer flattered her, and when they met again they would just nod to each other.

The huge gap between the before and after made the wife very unhappy, and she felt that all this was caused by her husband's resignation from the steel mill.

Over the past month, every time I saw my man going out early and coming back late, I would get so angry that I didn't even bother to talk to him.

Ma Xingwen didn't return to his courtyard house until almost nine o'clock.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my wife sitting next to a light bulb mending clothes.

Because there were many elderly people and children in the family and the burden was heavy, and Ma Xingwen's original salary at the steel rolling mill was very low, the family's conditions were not good.

Most of the clothes at home are passed down from older to younger children, so mending them is a normal thing.

A few days ago, when he saw his wife ignoring him, Ma Xingwen would go over and say a few nice words. After all, he had made the decision to quit his job as the team leader of the security department of the steel rolling mill on his own initiative without discussing it with his wife, so the fault was his.

Ma Xingwen is particularly confident today.

Facing his sulking wife, he not only did not try to comfort her, but sat down on the chair and yelled, "Mother of the child..."

"Hurry up and pour me a glass of water. I've walked all the way home and I'm dying of thirst."

The wife didn't even try to stand up. Instead, she frowned and asked angrily, "Who told you to quit your job as a team leader in the steel mill and go work in a restaurant?"

"No matter how tired you are, it's all your own fault."

"If you're thirsty, go get yourself some water. Don't bother me. I'm feeling uncomfortable right now."

Ma Xingwen did not respond, but directly took out a handful of big unity coins from his pocket, placed them on the table in front of his wife, and spoke again.

"For the sake of so much money, can you please get me a glass of water? I'm dying of thirst."

The wife's eyes widened quickly, and she looked at the big unity on the table and asked in disbelief: "With so much money, did you rob a bank..."

"What nonsense?" Ma Xingwen replied unhappily.

"This is all my salary for this month..."

"The basic salary is 75 yuan, and now I'm in the internship period, so I can only get 65 yuan."

"The remaining sixty dollars is the bonus, a total of one hundred and twenty-five dollars."

"The restaurant was only open for half a month this month, so the bonus and dividends were a little less."

"If I do business every day this month, the bonus will be at least 120 yuan, and the total salary will be more than 180 yuan, and I can eat for free in the restaurant... Do you still think it's not worth it for me to sell my job at the steel mill?"

"If I worked at a steel mill, the combined salary for three or four months would not be as much as what I make in a month at the restaurant."

"And you have to pay for lunch at the steel mill. On average, five dollars is deducted from the food allowance every month, so the income you get is even less."

"It's not like a restaurant. Food is free, and they provide three meals a day."

"I don't need to spend a penny on a daily basis, and all my income can be handed over to my family." (End of this chapter)
