It was said that the teachers in the commune could also receive a subsidy of 50 catties of rice provided by the commune every year, and the vegetables and fruits produced by the school’s private plot every year were also shared equally by the teachers in the commune.
These two additional benefits alone were enough to make many people jealous.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this additional job that even though Kuang Aijun still had two underage children, his pension had not increased accordingly.
After such an analysis, Ah Wu was reluctantly relieved.
However, she still couldn’t explain why she got a job in this life instead of just an increased pension as described in the book.
Perhaps nothing was constant.
Ah Wu hid her worries.
Anyway, such a change was a good thing.
***
The army was very efficient.
When Ah Wu and Third Grandma Xu returned to Zhangjiagou, the government order was also passed on to the commune.
It was just a primary school teacher’s position, and the army specifically asked for it. How could the director of the commune embarrass them? So, it was quickly handled.
At the same time, because the army specifically asked for the position, the commune also valued the Kuang family a little bit and specially instructed the Captain and Village Secretary of Zhangjiagou to take care of the martyrs’ families and not let the soldiers down.
The villagers envied the Kuang family for being able to get both money and jobs, but when they thought that this was achieved at the expense of their own sons/husbands, they were not so envious.
“Hmph, look at that family’s arrogant attitude. I heard that their monthly subsidy is only six yuan. Even if Ye Wu’s salary is added, it’s only sixteen or seventeen yuan a month. Unlike our Youdong, his monthly allowance has increased to 23 yuan. If he gets promoted to the next level, the allowance will be even higher.”
Old Mrs. Zhang was a little indignant.
When Kuang Aijun was alive, he always suppressed her son. So when people talked about Zhangjiagou, even though there were two soldiers, the first person they thought of was Kuang Aijun.
Now that Kuang Aijun was dead, the living people in his family were still trying to grab the limelight. She didn’t know what to be proud of having a dead son.
Old Mrs. Zhang was biased. Seeing that the villagers talked a lot about the Kuang family these days, she thought that the Kuang family was too ostentatious.
She never thought that since they had lost a son, how could they be happy even if they received some material compensation?
Jin Qiaoqiao was washing clothes in the yard. She heard Old Mrs. Zhang eating melon seeds and chatting with her two sisters-in-law. She was also in a bad mood.
She was very upset. After her rebirth, everything did not develop as she imagined.
First of all, her husband was too foolishly filial.
Before he left, she had clearly mentioned to him that he would conceal his real salary and divert some assets for the family. His attitude also made her think that he agreed.
But in fact, after Zhang Youdong was promoted, he immediately reported the good news back to the village, and the 23 yuan remitted every month was also received by Old Mrs. Zhang.
That d*mn old woman was biased toward her eldest son and the twin boy and girl who were not married yet.
She could only get five yuan out of the twenty-three yuan he sent home every month.
This was because Zhang Youdong’s salary increased. Before that, she could only get three yuan every month. It was obviously her husband’s salary.
Old Mrs. Zhang’s reasons were also very reasonable. There was still a son who hadn’t married yet and a daughter who hadn’t married yet.
As the most promising son in the family, Zhang Youdong should contribute to his younger siblings. The part of the money intercepted should be used to build a new house for his younger brother and save dowry for his younger sister.
