The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"Mom, you said that my uncle works as an aide to the prince, does the King of England give him any money?"

Facing her daughter's questions, Li Xuemei calmly found a notebook.

"I remember this is the household items your uncle asked Kang Er to deliver. There are also some favors and gifts on it. They are all for your uncle. Take a look for yourself."

Yan Yu exclaimed: "Mom, you still have such a ledger, why didn't I know about it?"

"Little housekeeper." Li Xuemei pressed her forehead with her finger. "You can take care of everything, or else you can take charge of this house."

"Ouch, my mother's penis is so strong, it hurts me to death!" Yan Yu wailed in a fake tone.

Gou Zhu raised his head to look at her, and the cat swung its tail at Gou Zhu's face.

The dog continued to lie down.

Li Xuemei couldn't do anything to her. Seeing her looking through it seriously, she laughed and shook her head.

"When are you leaving?"

Yan Yu didn't even raise his head and replied: "We will set off when the order is issued."

Li Xuemei paused and said, "It's quite formal."

"That's right, your daughter is now an official, Yan Xiaoqi!" Yan Yu pulled her neck, feeling proud.

"This Xiao Qi only cares about your father and your uncle's salary and money. Excuse me, where is yours?" Li Xuemei said with a hint of teasing: "Since I am an official, I should pay a share of the household income to my family."

"Ah?" Yan Yu was dumbfounded and pointed at his nose and asked, "My salary is so small, why should I pay it?"

Li Xuemei looked at her with a smile and said, "Why do you think you don't have to pay?"

I'm still a baby!

Yan Yu swallowed back the words he wanted to blurt out.

Then his expression became solemn: "Mom, you are right, I have to pay it too. Now I am getting royal food and have a formal job! No one here pays five social insurances and one housing fund. I have to save money for retirement. So Speaking of which, the pressure is quite high. Based on my father’s salary when he was Xiaoqi, I have to save enough money for retirement..."

She did a quick mental calculation, and her expression became more serious: "It's far from enough! So!"

"So?" Li Xuemei raised her eyebrows curiously.

"You have to learn from plants and grow upward!" Yan Yu waved her fist, as if to cheer herself up. "Mom, let's talk about it. I have a low official position now and don't earn much. Can I pay less? I have to save some money and get promoted as soon as possible!"

"Who do you want to hit?"

"The person who has helped me the most in my promotion right now is...Pan Zheng!" Yan Yu nodded solemnly and said firmly: "Yes, that's my brother Pan!"

"I want to take care of him, give him gifts, and remind him not to forget to promise me the banner." Yan Yu clapped his hands: "Yes, that's it, I'll write him a letter now."

She writes as she pleases. She sets the kang table in a straight position, spreads the paper, thinks a little, and then writes.

"You still owe me something," Li Xuemei reminded.

Yan Yu didn't care: "One code is the same."

"But what I'm reminding you is that I'll pay him an IOU by the way." Yan Yu kept talking and said, "I have to send a capable person to deliver the letter. If you have it, let Third Brother Wei go there for me."

Li Xuemei wanted to laugh. When asking for help, it was always her brother. There was no need to call her "Pan" or "Wei San".

She thought for a while and said: "Your uncle used to support this family. Now your father and you both have serious jobs. Our family should also have a charter. Tomorrow I will go ask my wife for advice and take a look at this." How much money is suitable for you to use for household use?”

Li Xuemei added: "The family's future needs to be calculated clearly. Our family can't live in a hazy way. There is also your eldest sister's dowry. I heard from your aunt that many things have to be prepared in advance. It is too late to buy them now. Right now, the good and the bad are reversed." The army is at war, so we can’t make it public. I think we’ll make an order in private and explore it slowly.”

"Wow! Mom, you look like a mistress of the house!" Yan Yu said with starry eyes.

She suddenly remembered and asked: "Mom, how many things did you keep from selling the things that the prince brought back? Are they for eldest sister?"

Li Xuemei smiled and did not deny it.

When Yan Yu saw her mother's expression, her heart moved slightly.

"Mom, what else have you done?"

Li Xuemei glanced at the account book that Yan Yu had pulled aside.

Yan Yu followed her gaze.

"Uncle's money!" She reacted quickly and said in an excited tone: "Mom, tell me honestly, did you buy a house or land?"

Li Xuemei whetted her appetite, and then she pretended to be indifferent and said: "Your father happened to be on a business trip to the capital. I asked him to bring more money. Whether it is a house or land, as long as the price is acceptable, I will buy it first."

"Your eldest brother is studying near the outskirts of Beijing. It doesn't take much trouble to rent it out for a short period of time and let him take care of it. If we go to Beijing in the future, we won't have to worry about having a place to stay. Even if we don't go, we will definitely lose money if we invest in real estate and land in the capital. No, it’s more cost-effective than buying a house in Guanzhou.”

Yan Yu's small round eyes at this time were shining with admiration! A flashing goodbye!

"Mom, you are so foresight! With my uncle here, the King of Rebellion will not be able to jump for a few days. With his help, the King of England has a great chance of winning. We will definitely be able to go to the capital!"

"Yes, yes, your uncle has great ideas and can secure the country." Li Xuemei felt that her daughter was her uncle's. How to say that word, yes, it was a brainless boast.

…

In the past few days while waiting for the transfer order, Yan Yu continued to be excited.

Wei San was sent by her to deliver a message to Pan Zheng and took away two carts full of earthenware.

As the saying goes, sending goose feathers thousands of miles away means the gift is light but the intention is heavy. She is far away and the gift is heavy. Brother Pan will definitely feel her sincerity.

Li Xuemei was speechless. Since they agreed to hand over the household expenses, her daughter was more confident to give gifts with her own things.

What salary should be handed over to the family, and the gifts should be paid by the public. What about talking about monthly salary with her? Bullying her for not reading any house fighting novels, damn girl, she has read a lot, right?

Li Xuemei asked Mrs. Tian for advice on housework. Yan Yu had already drawn up a short-term plan, integrating all the engineering projects in Xiaoan Village, and making a time schedule and production plan according to the priorities, trying not to waste any time and maximize human resources.

In the first three days, meetings were held day and night.

Discuss, overturn, deduce again, and finalize.

Repeat continuously.

Starting from the fourth day, Yan Yu and the village elders went to inspect the village.

Walked through the whole village within two days.

Including the residences of the people from Xizhou who had been resettled, and the refugees from Qishan Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture, how they were living, whether they could have food, how many people in a family could find work... This was Yan Yu's research assignment, which was arranged by Mu Nuguan for her.

After she sorted out all the businesses in her hands and at home, she handed them over to her mother one by one.

The transfer order that had been waiting for many days finally arrived!

Today, Xiao'an Camp is transferred to Huju City to assist in the defense. The order is received and we will set off today.

Yan Yu read it word by word and breathed a sigh of relief.

Muttered: "Fortunately, we are not leaving immediately. One word difference can make a big difference!"

She moved her energy to Dantian, facing the neatly lined Xiao'an Camp, and raised her arms and shouted:

"The transfer order has been issued, Xiao'an Camp, all the camps are ready!"

She silently calculated the time, and then shouted loudly: "Set off at 3 p.m."

Okay, we are going to Huju to fight~

Go~
