FSC [QT] Chapter 75.1

Arc 4: Raising Babies In 60s (19)

Advertisement

Kuang Aijun’s pension was the same as described in the original novel, but unlike the choice of the heroine Jin Qiaoqiao, Ah Wu and Third Grandma Xu agreed that it was more cost-effective to receive a six-yuan allowance every month.

The monthly pension would be terminated when the two elders of the Kuang family passed away, Ye Wu remarried, and Zhuangwa and Baowa reached adulthood.

In other words, if Ye Wu did not remarry, even if the two elders passed away and Zhuangwa and Baowa reached adulthood, she could still receive the monthly pension of six yuan until her death.

According to the current average life expectancy, she could receive this money for at least another thirty or forty years, which was much more cost-effective than receiving a one-time pension of 500 yuan.

When they returned, each martyr’s relative not only had an extra sum of money, but also a badge with Chairman Mao’s words on it and a martyr’s family certificate issued by the army.

The certificate was made of metal and could be hung on the door beam or the wall of the main house. There was also a paper certificate with the military seal on it.

Ah Wu attached great importance to these two things, because according to a few fragments briefly mentioned in the original book, in a short time, a certain revolution would intensify and spread from the city to the countryside.

At that time, yin and yang would be reversed, and any bizarre things might happen.

In that era, the birth of three generations of poor peasants and such a certificate of martyrs were enough to prevent the Kuang family from being plotted against by others without them actively causing trouble.

Ah Wu completely distinguished the story from reality.

Those years in the novel might be summarized in a few words, but living in this world, those years would be the era she really experienced.

If she did whatever she pleased like the heroine, she might not get the treatment of retreating unscathed like the heroine.

On the way back, everyone’s pain had eased a little.

They began to ask each other whether there were any discrepancies in their subsidies.

Ah Wu discovered that families with many children and heavier burdens would be able to receive more pensions.

On the contrary, if the martyr had not married or not had children and only had parents still alive in the family, the pension would be reduced accordingly.

It seemed that the amount of subsidies given by the army was also very humane.

In fact, this point could be matched with the description of the basis.

In the original book, the subsidy plan that Jin Qiaoqiao received in her previous life before her rebirth was six yuan per month or a lump sum of five hundred yuan.

However, after Jin Qiaoqiao’s rebirth, ‘Ye Wu’, who lost her husband, received a subsidy plan of eight yuan per month or eight hundred yuan in one lump sum.

Obviously, it was because ‘Ye Wu’ and Kuang Aijun had two underage children, and the extra part took into account the expenses of raising children.

In this life, Kuang Aijun’s pension was the same as that of Jin Qiaoqiao before she was reborn. In this life, Kuang Aijun still had two children under the age of three.

Ah Wu guessed that the reason why the amount of pension had not increased was perhaps based on the fact that she got an additional job as a primary school teacher in the commune.

So, this part of the difference had been completely made up by this job as a teacher in a commune primary school.

According to Ah Wu’s understanding, the monthly salary of a primary school teacher in the commune was between 10 and 12 yuan. Although it was not as much as that of a worker, it was better in terms of free time.

    I saw someone said that the husband’s still alive so I guess that he’s a spy and they faked his death?
