Zhou Liru received a bunch of presents, and when he got back to his new house, he sat cross-legged on the couch and counted them happily.
Liu Huan closed the door, and ran over to take a look with great interest, "See what they gave you?"
Zhou Liru opened it and showed him that Mrs. Liu's box contained a set of gemstones, which was also very good, but both Liu Huan and Zhou Liru had been to the Western Regions, so they knew that the value of these gemstones was not very expensive.
Now it's time to look at the craft.
Liu Huan only glanced at it and put it aside, urging her to put on the jade ornament given by Mrs. Liu.
Zhou Liru said: "I'm still young, I can't hold back this set of jewelry, put it away first, and wear it after a few years."
Mainly as a doctor, I spend a lot of time getting started, and it is somewhat inconvenient to wear jade bracelets on my hands.
Liu Huan didn't force it, put it aside first, went to look at the meeting gift given to Zhou Liru by his relatives, and sighed, "Now you have more money than me."
Zhou Liru became proud, "I heard from my mother that I still have monthly money."
Liu Huan immediately said, "I have it too."
Zhou Liru, "I still have a salary. My sister-in-law told me that Xiao Yuanzheng has approved me to enter the imperial hospital. My sister-in-law has been promoted to a seventh-rank imperial physician, and I am a ninth-rank medical assistant. Although the official is small, but every month The salary is not much less than yours."
Because she has no job field, Lumi will increase a little every month.
Liu Huan said: "Should we take a ledger and record it, this is our family's private account?"
Zhou Liru nodded, took out a blank booklet, and asked Liu Huan, "How much of the money we earn will be handed over to Gongzhong?"
"Pay it to the public? Don't hand it over to the public. Oh, Lumi is collected by the housekeeper at home. After it is collected, it will be dealt with uniformly. The salary will still be collected by us."
Zhou Liru nodded, they get 10,000 yuan of pocket money from the public every month, not to mention Lumi, and she has no objection to handing over the salary.
"What about other income?"
Liu Huan was stunned, "What other income do we have?"
Zhou Liru despised him, "What about the income from the Grange shop, and our extra income? For example, if I go out to see a doctor, even if there is no consultation fee, there will be some traveling expenses."
Liu Huan immediately said: "Of course I kept it myself, it's all your dowry."
Zhou Liru blinked.
Liu Huan said: "Brother never takes money from home. Look at my father, he is already old, and he never takes money from home. He has his own private account. You are not stupid to hand over money to the public." ?"
Zhou Liru was stunned for a moment, "But we eat from the public house, live in the public house, and receive monthly money from the public house... we all depend on our grandparents?"
Liu Huan also scratched his head, "How much can my grandfather earn with that little salary? Is it mainly based on the family business?"
In fact, he wasn't very sure, and said, "Anyway, elder brother and sister-in-law were like this when they were in the capital. We just listen to our grandparents."
Zhou Liru gave him a sideways glance, and said: "This is not how things are calculated. Brothers settle accounts clearly. Only when the accounts are settled clearly will there be no careful thoughts. If there is no careful consideration, there will naturally be no jealousy and resentment. Only the family can last for a long time."
Liu Huan was confused: "What care?"
"Be careful about taking advantage," Zhou Liru said bluntly: "For example, now, if we don't ask clearly, we will be secretly happy to take advantage of the public. You think, now parents, uncles and aunts have not lived in the capital for a long time, and grandparents There are only the two of us at my knees. Not to mention far away, the monthly money alone is quite a lot.”
Ten thousand for her, ten thousand for Liu Huan, the monthly salary of the two of them from the palace is only 20,000, not to mention the fact that food and lodging are all at home, and clothes and jewelry are also taken out of work. , I don't know how much it costs over the years.
Even she, the beneficiary, couldn't help being shocked, let alone the non-beneficiary.
"So we have to make it clear that what we should fill in the public office should be filled in the public office. Some accounts need to be confused, but some accounts need to be clearer." Zhou Liru said: "Like my family, my grandma has six sons and two Daughter, if my eldest aunt is married off, it doesn’t count if she doesn’t live with us, including my sister-in-law, the seven children are all considered to be in the family.”
"For the accounts every year, those who farm the land belong to the farmers, those who do business are those who do business, and my sister-in-law's job is settled separately. What should be distributed to everyone is distributed to everyone, and the rest is used by the public," Zhou Liru said. : "At the end of the year, the public spends endlessly, there will be another wave."
"Our family doesn't have any monthly money or anything like that. We have our own private account. If you want to spend extra, you can pay for it yourself. Like your family, all the money earned by future generations is not put into the public house, but is returned to the public house. It’s the first time I’ve seen the one who got the money.”
"Ouch," Liu Huan couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "Why is this the first time I've seen you? This is the first time I've seen a family like yours. As long as the families I know are not separated, the food, clothing and flowers All of them belong to the public."
Seeing that Zhou Liru didn't believe it, he said, "It's true, Duke Zhao's house not far from our home, why do you think Zhao Liulang is so short of money?"
"Because he is too extravagant and spends a lot?"
"... That's true, but it's not just for this reason," Liu Huan said: "Because their family is not divided, and he doesn't have any property in his hands, so relying on salary and monthly silver is definitely not enough to spend. In the past two years, he has used money to meddle in your fourth uncle's business, and his life has started."
"I've never heard that the money he earns is put in the public house," Liu Huan said with a smile, "Don't worry, we not only eat from the grandfather's salary, but also from the family property. That's the big one."
He shook his head and said: "What is our monthly money? My father and two uncles spend more. Even my elder brother spends more than us. They don't live at home, but when they need money, That’s hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars, as long as it’s a business, my grandfather would never say ‘no’.”
Zhou Liru was speechless, so rich
Liu Huan thought he had calmed Zhou Liru, but Zhou Liru was still a little uneasy, which was very different from her family's situation.
When eating dinner, Mrs. Liu noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood, so she smiled and left her to talk.
Zhou Liru hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke out the doubts in his heart, and finally said: "Grandma, we are all grown-ups, and we can support ourselves. It is already a sin not to send money to the public to support our grandparents. Get monthly money here... "
Forget about those who are unmarried and unemployed, it’s okay to take money from the public, but the two of them are now married and established.
Her grandparents are younger than Liu Shangshu and Mrs. Liu, and every year her father and uncles will give a share to her grandma after dividing the money from the business.
Mrs. Liu was so moved that her eyes were sore for a moment, she took her hand and comforted her: "Silly boy, your monthly money comes from the production of your family's property, and those things will be distributed to you in the future. Now we are just temporarily managing it for you. Even if you put the output of these industries in the public house, how can you eat it for nothing?"
