Chapter 260: Wife, please stop fighting. I won’t dare to do it again next time (Please book in full)
“Xuemin, where did you get so many foreign exchange coupons to buy this apartment?”
The surprise is a surprise, and the excitement is also very exciting!
Her man actually bought a suite in the Overseas Chinese Apartment under her eyes without even realizing it!
According to the price they asked before, that was eight thousand foreign exchange coupons!
At that time, the house price was simply an astronomical figure for the couple.
Even now, the price is still beyond the reach of the couple.
because!
Even if the other party relents and no longer requires foreign exchange coupons, the price may be reduced.
But no matter how much the price is reduced!
They don't want foreign exchange coupons, which cost at least more than 20,000 yuan. It's not enough to move all the couple's savings!
Where did her man get such cash, or where did he get so many foreign exchange coupons?
To know!
Her man came back from the consolation performance, and it was only a month before he was in confinement just like her.
In one month, where did Xuemin get so much money?
Earn royalties from writing articles?
Even if her man's hand was cut off, she wouldn't be able to write a manuscript that would earn more than 20,000 yuan in royalties within a month, right?
And I had to write secretly behind her back.
I have to write secretly in addition to completing the novella "Garland Under the Mountain".
But in fact.
After her man completed the customized task, he then wrote the second chapter of "My Corps Years" for himself "Today", and now he has "The Ordinary World" for "Yanhe Literature".
One article after another is rushed to be completed. Her man is too weak to write a manuscript that can earn more than 20,000 yuan in royalties, right?
So!
How did her man buy the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment?
Where did the money come from?
"Xuemin, you have to tell me the truth, instead of lying to me in front of your son!"
"Xuemin, tell me the truth, are you hiding your private money behind my back again?"
Seeing her man's originally very excited expression, Feng Jiayou was so dumbfounded when she asked him this question that his eyes were spinning wildly.
It was obvious that he was about to start quibbling, but the Feng family was not used to it, so he exposed it on the spot and asked.
At the same time, she also hugged her son, Little Squirrel, and began to look at the house, waiting for her man's honest explanation.
"Uh, wife, how can you not do that!"
"How could I secretly access a small treasury behind your back?"
Being exposed on the spot, Cheng Xuemin had to sigh that his daughter-in-law was really sober in the world.
When such a big house fell in front of her, she was not extremely excited. Instead, she asked Cheng Xuemin, where did the money come from? ?
Is this a normal reaction from a daughter-in-law?
If it were any other woman, she would have been so happy that she was so surprised by her man's generosity that she would burst into tears!
How could his wife be so sober?
Then, Cheng Xuemin had no choice but to be honest and lenient, telling the whole story about this big surprise.
Originally, I wanted to tell the whole story, but I thought that after everything was over and my wife was tired and lying on the bed in the master bedroom, I thought about asking about money.
"What? Xuemin, is this the house you just bought with 5,000 foreign exchange coupons?"
"You, you, you...where did you get so many foreign exchange coupons?"
Feng Jiayou heard her husband confess that the owner of this house still only needed foreign exchange coupons, but her husband had cut the price from 8,000 to 5,000.
This was successfully won not long ago!
The price has been reduced from 8,000 to 5,000. This price is indeed a bit outrageous, but now is not the time to pay attention to this!
Now I am shocked, where did her man get the five thousand yuan in foreign exchange coupons?
Five thousand foreign exchange coupons is still an astronomical figure for them, because they have no way to earn these foreign exchange coupons, okay?
But her man actually said that he spent 5,000 foreign exchange coupons to buy it!
Can this not shock Feng Jiayou into confusion?
"Daughter-in-law, to be honest, these foreign exchange coupons were earned by you and me!"
"Earned it? Xuemin, how did you earn it? We don't seem to have any channels now. Can we earn foreign exchange coupons?"
"Forex coupons, doesn't the country have a special way to earn foreign exchange?"
The Feng family became even more suspicious. Today's foreign exchange coupons are not earned. If they want foreign exchange coupons, they can only go to a bank or exchange them for foreign exchange coupons.
And there is a monthly limit, no more than 100 yuan at most.
Most of the country's sources of foreign exchange certificates are foreign exchange-earning units that are engaged in export product business.
So, this doesn’t seem to fit in with their family!
“I’m good at what I do!”
"Daughter-in-law, have you forgotten dad's foreign language bureau?" Cheng Xuemin couldn't care less now, he could only throw his father-in-law out and continue to make excuses.
"Dad's foreign language bureau?!"
"Xuemin, you're telling me that you submitted a manuscript to Dad's Foreign Language Publishing House?"
After being reminded by Cheng Xuemin, Feng Jiayou still asked suspiciously, "Why didn't my mother and I know that you submitted a manuscript to my father's foreign language publication bureau? Didn't my father mention it to me or my mother?"
"Daughter-in-law, is this true!?"
"I didn't submit the article to my dad's foreign language bureau, I got in touch with Lao Zhou, who is in charge of foreign language submission in my dad's unit!"
"When I went south to express condolences, through Lao Zhou's help, several foreign language manuscripts were reviewed and approved!"
"Lao Zhou helped submit a few articles to several authoritative magazines outside the United States!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and continued angrily, "Originally, these foreign language manuscripts were written in my spare time, and I didn't have high hopes for submitting them. After all, Lao Zhou and the others also said that there are very few good writers in our country. Foreign language manuscripts with a local flavor, so the manuscripts we submit domestically to outsiders have a very low rejection rate! ”
"So, I don't have high hopes!"
"But who would have known that as soon as I came back from the front line, my father conveyed to me what Lao Zhou had said, saying that the manuscript I submitted to outsiders was too late!"
"And there is also royalties, let me go and get them!"
"I was very surprised at that time. The manuscript I submitted to Lao Mi Magazine was actually rejected? Is there still a manuscript fee?"
"Then I went over to collect the manuscript fee, and I found that the manuscript fee I was given, my dear, turned out to be foreign exchange coupons!"
Cheng Xuemin basically told everything, without any reservations. He told all the causes and consequences and gave an honest account.
"That is to say..."
"Yes, wife, that is to say, a month ago, I got a foreign exchange voucher worth up to 6,000 yuan!"
Before his wife Feng Jiayou could ask further questions, Cheng Xuemin quickly took over and continued to quibble.
"Six thousand yuan in foreign exchange coupons?"
"Xuemin, you, you... how many foreign language manuscripts have you submitted? How many have you passed?"
Feng Jiayou turned around and asked with shock on his face.
"Daughter-in-law, I wrote five articles and submitted five, and all of them passed!"
"According to their full copyright buyout price, one foreign language manuscript is worth 1,200 yuan, and five articles is 6,000 yuan."
I wrote five articles, submitted five articles, and all of them passed?
This is what Xuemin said. Lao Zhou and the others are actually not optimistic about it, because our writers can't write manuscripts with local flavor at all, and the rejection rate is extremely low?
But how come you, Xuemin, write a few articles and submit them to others, and they all reject them?
"Daughter-in-law, it's true!"
"Originally, I planned to go to Dad's Foreign Languages Publishing House that day, collect the royalties, and hand them all over to you as soon as possible!"
"But at that time, I discovered that the royalties settled were actually foreign exchange coupons. This made me... think that it might be a bigger surprise for my wife!" "So, I made my own decision and didn't tell my wife for the time being. Wait. Now buy this house, you will be in confinement, I will give you such a big reward!"
Cheng Xuemin only had one excuse for Feng Jiayou!
If the royalties were in RMB, he would have handed them all over at that time without hiding any private money.
This is the promise I made to my daughter-in-law before, and there will never be a next time.
But what can I do!
The father-in-law’s employer actually gave him foreign exchange coupons, so that’s a different story.
"Daughter-in-law, look what this is, I'll open it for you and have a look!"
After Cheng Xuemin spent some time arguing, he found his wife hugging her son, nodding her head in confusion and saying nothing.
Instead, he continued to look at this house.
After his wife entered the master bedroom, Cheng Xuemin's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the lead and turned on the air conditioner installed in the master bedroom!
He said to his wife flatteringly, while also closing the open window and closing the curtains.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the air conditioner!"
"The Economic Commission commended me and gave us air conditioners for free as a reward!"
Cheng Xuemin confessed again, but actually he said it in a flattering manner just to change the subject.
"Is this awarded to us by the Economic Commission?"
really!
When Feng Jiayou heard that the thing blowing air-conditioning into the house was the air conditioner, and it was awarded to them by the Economic Committee, his eyes suddenly brightened and he asked.
In fact, she was even more concerned about the ridiculously big bed in the master bedroom.
"yes!"
"That's what Lao Yang of the Overseas Chinese Store was talking about when he came to our door a few days ago!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and said.
"Daughter-in-law, these beds, quilts, and these new furniture are all just purchased by me on my own initiative!"
“When the previous owner moved out, he basically emptied this area!”
Seeing that Feng Jiayou was staring blankly at the two-meter-long bed in the master bedroom, Cheng Xuemin said quickly.
"Daughter-in-law, please try it. This is a Simmons bed. I bought it from an overseas Chinese store. It's imported!"
"Daughter-in-law, sit down, aren't you very flexible?"
"Give me the little squirrel!"
Seeing his wife holding her son in her arms, she just pressed the mattress with her palms. She quickly picked up the son who was in her hand and motioned for Feng Jiayou to sit down and lie down on it to try.
Feng Jiayou pressed his palm up and it was indeed very elastic. Then he gave his son to his man and sat down tentatively.
"Xuemin, you, you, you... don't crush the little squirrel!"
"Daughter-in-law, the little one is already asleep. Isn't this much more convenient than going to the guest house?"
…
Being able to endure so many arguments with his wife is already Cheng Xuemin's limit!
Seeing Feng Jiayou enter the master bedroom and sit on the big bed, he found that the little one in his arms had also fallen asleep.
So what are you waiting for? It will be more than an hour later.
"Xuemin, you said we only spent five thousand foreign exchange coupons on this apartment, right?"
Feng Jiayou asked weakly as he turned sideways, letting his youngest son, who had just been woken up, drink milk beside him.
She just felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately she was executed on the spot before she could figure it out.
She really didn’t tire her out!
Now I finally came back to my senses and realized what was wrong!
Money doesn’t match up!
Of the 6,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupon fees, the house only cost 5,000 yuan. Doesn’t that mean there is still 1,000 yuan left?
“Yes!”
"Daughter-in-law, this house did cost 5,000 foreign exchange coupons, and there is still 1,000 foreign exchange coupons left."
"But as you have seen, my wife, the new purchases at home are all imported goods from overseas Chinese stores, and they all use foreign exchange!"
"Our big bed alone cost more than 150 foreign exchange coupons, and the sofa outside also cost 100..."
"By the way, daughter-in-law, I have to keep these accounts, and I wanted to let you take a look at them!"
"I'm going to die! Put your clothes on first!"
Seeing her man getting naked and rummaging through the cabinets to find some account book, Feng Jiayou shouted in shame.
"There are no outsiders in my own home!"
"Now, this is our world for two, we can play however we want!"
The daughter-in-law was still embarrassed. Cheng Xuemin laughed at her, then found the account book from the desk and handed it to Feng Jiayou.
"Simmons beds and mattresses are one hundred and fifty, and sofas are one hundred and fifty..."
The Feng family gave him a shy look and said nothing more. After all, she was only covered by a thin bed sheet, and the same was true inside.
Speaking of which, this air conditioner is indeed very comfortable. It is as cold as winter, so cold that you need to cover yourself with a quilt.
Then he looked through the account book, counted it in his mind, and asked casually: "A total of four hundred and ninety foreign exchange coupons were spent?"
"Then Xuemin, do you still have 510 foreign exchange coupons in your hand?"
"Not that much. The two electric fans from before were also included in these thousand foreign exchange coupons. I only have a few dozen foreign exchange coupons left in my hand!"
Knowing that his wife must check the accounts, Cheng Xuemin recorded all the foreign exchange coupons used to buy imported cigarettes for his grandfather in the account book.
But the two electric fans were purchased before, and I didn’t think about accounting them at that time, so they were missed!
Cheng Xuemin quickly made up for it, otherwise the vacancy of more than four hundred would not be accounted for.
But as he talked, Cheng Xuemin felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere!
Cheng Xuemin, who was still teasing the little one and trying to prevent him from drinking, suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly looked up!
He found that his little wife was looking at him with a half-smile.
No, where did I say something wrong?
Aren’t all the six thousand yuan in foreign exchange coupons matched?
It seems like you didn’t miss anything, right? !
“Huh? Ah!”
"Daughter-in-law, please listen to my explanation first..."
"I...I didn't use any of the money I spent to buy the electric fan. I just hid a thousand yuan at home. We will return it all to you when we get back!"
"Daughter-in-law, I really didn't move at all!"
The daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but looked at him with a half-smile. Cheng Xuemin was just puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly realized it!
The foreign exchange coupons used to buy electric fans really cannot be counted in the 6,000 yuan of foreign exchange coupons!
Because at that time, Cheng Xuemin took 900 yuan in cash from his wife, Feng Jiayou.
The 900 yuan in cash has now become Cheng Xuemin's private money, and it certainly cannot be counted in the 6,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons!
Ouch!
Sure enough, you can’t get too carried away. After being so happy, you even forgot about this fatal matter.
Now it's better. Not only has all the private money been cleared again, but there's also a stubborn character who won't change his ways!
……
Asking for a monthly ticket!
