Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Yes, this building has heating. Feng Qingxue felt it as soon as he came in. It was very warm.

Now that she heard Lu Jiang's explanation, she was dumbfounded, "So, we have to pay a hundred yuan for monthly rent and water and electricity bills? Oh my God, paying rent before was not that expensive. I remember that too. Just a few bucks.”

Lu Jiang shrugged, "The rent for a bungalow is different from that of a building. Buildings are expensive, and ours is a three-story building. What kind of house was it before? It was either a bungalow or a base building. One hundred square meters only costs a few dollars, so it's almost nothing."

Feng Qingxue casually took a notebook from Lu Jiang's desk, took out the pen from the pen holder, and wrote down the rent, heating bills, water and electricity bills and other expenses on it, "We have to sum up the expenses in all aspects, I still owe Uncle Xia’s 10,000 yuan. According to this kind of expenditure, it will take years and months to pay it off?”

"Why did you borrow so much money? Is it urgent? Why didn't I listen to you?" Because it was not convenient to talk on the phone, Lu Jiang didn't know about her great achievements in buying cultural relics and antiques in Shanghai.

Feng Qingxue waved her hand, "Let's talk about this in the evening and plan the various expenses first."

Lu Jiang came to her side and saw that she had already written down 100 yuan for rent, water and electricity bills, 1,200 yuan a year, and 30 yuan for heating. "Ye Yan and Fubao will have to go to junior high school when they come back. The tuition is a little higher. They The tuition fees, paper and pencil fees for these children are about ten or twenty yuan a month, right? Our children are very generous and like to buy some food and fun.”

Lu Jiang thought for a moment, "Our college has good teachers, but the tuition is a little expensive. I heard from the cadres below that their children's elementary school tuition seems to be five yuan, books are two yuan, and middle and high school tuition is ten yuan. I can’t remember whether the miscellaneous fee is four yuan or five yuan. I pay it twice a year, not every month.”

Feng Qingxue paused and made a note in her notebook, "Just take the highest one, junior high school is 10 yuan plus 5 yuan per semester, 30 yuan per year, two is 70 yuan, elementary school is 5 yuan plus 2 yuan per semester, 42 yuan per year for three children, 112 yuan per year for five children, plus stationery and pocket money, and Xibao’s expenses are not included.”

Lu Jiang hesitated and said: "The tuition fee alone is calculated, and the living expenses are calculated at ten yuan per person, including pocket money and paper and pen fees."

"It's about 10 yuan per person per month. It's mainly paper and pen fees. All the children have to practice calligraphy. Fubao and Zhuangzhuang prefer to draw. You can get pens, ink and paper from me. This time I bought them from the Shanghai Ancient Books Bookstore. It’s a lot, and I won’t be able to use it up in a few years.” Feng Qingxue wrote it down carefully, and asked clearly, “Next is your party dues, how much do you pay every month?”

"Based on 2%, that's seven dollars and two per month." Lu Jiang replied.

Feng Qingxue wrote it down, "7.2 a month, which is 86.4 a year. Mine is based on one percent, which is 1.35 yuan a month and 16.2 yuan a year. Remember it, let's talk about the next expenditure."

Lu Jiang smiled and said: "The biggest expense is food."

"Our family is very willing to eat. Fortunately, the prices are low and there is room for supplies to supplement it. Let's just say it's 150 yuan per month." Feng Qingxue made a note and muttered: "It's a good thing you don't smoke. You save a lot of money by drinking, but you have to pay for gas, right? How much do you think is appropriate? Maybe the kids will need a car in the future.”

"They go to school in the compound. It's very close. Let them walk for exercise. Just remember twenty yuan for gas expenses. We will definitely use it every month for picking up and dropping off people."

Feng Qingxue wrote down, "Our snow cream, toothpaste, soap, toilet paper, etc. can't be counted. 20 yuan is enough."
