Chapter 1541 Our Family Has a Lot of Dollars?
Compared with Huajing, the winter temperature in Xuchang is slightly warmer by two to three degrees.
But the winter in the north is still so dry that people don’t want to stay on the streets for too long in winter.
Centralized heating supply is a new thing that has just emerged in Huajing. It is not available in other places now.
For young students who don't even have enough to eat, spending so much money on heating a month is completely unnecessary.
As the end of the year approaches, people in government agencies and units that don’t have much work to do are inevitably a little slack at work.
Lin Li, who works at the Taxation Bureau, comes home normally around 6 o'clock, but Qian Shenyong, who works at the Cultural Bureau, comes home much earlier.
When Lin Li entered the house, she could smell the aroma of food. When she looked around, she saw that there was already a table full of dishes on the table.
Some of them were brought by Qian Shenyong from outside braised vegetable stalls, and some were made by Qian Shenyong himself. They had eight dishes and one soup, and the portions were quite large.
There is no other way. There are three sons in the family. As the saying goes, a half-grown boy will live in poverty, which is really not bad at all.
To cook rice for every meal, I use the rice cooker my brother-in-law gave me. It takes two rice cookers to cook rice.
As living conditions improved, Lin Li felt that her three sons wished they could eat out of a basin.
Every meal is full of vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables, especially the richness of meat, which is why my sons like to eat.
Children who have not experienced the 1980s will never know that a plate of fat meat can hold two bowls of dry rice. ——It’s like children in the 1980s couldn’t understand that children in the 1970s could eat a small plate of sauerkraut.
Fortunately, the children were growing up and liked sports on weekdays. They played basketball and football enthusiastically, so Lin Li didn't worry about raising three fat little boys at home.
The children had already returned home from school and were waiting eagerly at the table for their mother to come home and have dinner together.
Lin Li smiled when she saw this. After putting down her bag, she washed her hands at the faucet in the yard and sat on the table.
"start!"
Following Lin Li's order, the three sons immediately picked up their chopsticks and started charging.
Qian Shenyong was not in a hurry. He took a bite of food for his wife and then said, "Lao Dai is coming over later."
"Which Lao Dai?" Lin Li asked while eating.
"That's Lao Dai, who used to be the number one welder in our factory." Qian Shenyong said.
"Didn't he resign and go to another place to work for a collective enterprise?" Lin Li said, "Why did you suddenly get in touch?"
"We had a good relationship before. It's just that his wife gave birth to a second child. She couldn't survive on the salary from the factory, so she left." Qian Shenyong said, "His eldest daughter , that is Xiaozhen, do you remember it?"
"Remember! The little girl did very well in the film. She was admitted to a university in Huajing, right? When we went to university a few years ago, we were even given the gift!" Lin Li said smoothly.
"Xiaozhen has very good grades in college. Did she pass the TOEFL test some time ago? She is preparing to study in the United States!" Qian Shenyong sighed, "I never expected that an uneducated person like Lao Dai would have such a daughter. !”
"You can't say that. This is all due to their own efforts." Lin Li looked at her sons who were engrossed in eating and sighed, "Look at the three monkeys in our family, each one's grades are worse than the other. The third child is in elementary school. In the second grade, they already failed math! It’s really difficult for them to get into college!”
"No!" 8-year-old Qian Yi muttered with his mouth full of food: "Second aunt told us that when we grow up, she will take us to study in college in the United States!"
"Go, go, go! You are a man, relying on your second aunt, are you embarrassed?" Lin Li glared at her son and said.
Qian Yi trembled with fright and quickly continued eating without daring to answer any more questions.
Although Lin Li scolded her son fiercely, she felt very comfortable hearing her son talk about this.
Having such a big star sister really makes the family's life a lot easier, and the children's paths will be much smoother in the future!
Qian Shenyong also smiled, and then changed the topic: "Xiaozhen is going to study in the United States. Although it is publicly funded, her family must prepare some money for her at home first. Otherwise, if she goes to the United States, she will not be able to study in the United States. What's the matter? If you don't have money, that's a very bad thing!"
Hearing this, Lin Li frowned, "You want to exchange U.S. dollars for them again, right?"
"Haha, this is help!" Qian Shenyong said.
"I'm not against your help, but those friends of yours come to you every two days to exchange US dollars. What do you think of our place? The last time the police came here, they talked about it once, and it only stopped for a few days. ?" Lin Li said angrily, "The money my sister gave us is for us to use as a spare. It's better for you. Now that we have exchanged so much, if we have any use in the future, will you use RMB to exchange for US dollars? Who will give it to you? Change it?"
Seeing their mother getting angry, the three children were so frightened that they quickly finished the meal, dropped the bowls and ran away.
Lin Li was angry for a reason.
Lin Qingxia and Lin Malanying stayed at Lin Li's house for two months. Everyone knew that she had such an overseas relative and that she was a big star who could make a lot of money.
Once, a colleague of Qian Shenyong's workplace was going to Xiangjiang for a business trip. He wanted to buy something for his family, so he thought about changing some US dollars to take with him.
He tentatively asked Qian Shenyong if he had any extra US dollars. Qian Shenyong thought that they all belonged to the same company and could not make the relationship stiff, so he gave him 500 US dollars in exchange.
My colleague didn't take advantage of it. He exchanged it at a price of 5:1, which was twice as expensive as the official price of 2.5:1.
This is the original value of the U.S. dollar. Everyone outside exchanges it at this price, and often you can't exchange it, so you can only increase the price or take chances.
It doesn't matter if you help a colleague change it once, but the problem is that this colleague went to Xiangjiang to buy something. When he came back, everyone knew where his US dollars came from.
Therefore, whether they were from work or in need, they all found Qian Shenyong in a roundabout way and wanted to exchange U.S. dollars with him.
This is how people are, once you open your mind, even if many people can refuse, there are also many people who cannot refuse.
Then unless you'd rather offend all your friends, there's no way you can stop.
Not only Qian Shenyong, but also many people from Lin Li were inquiring and requesting.
Lin Li was prone to rejecting people, after all, she was a woman, but Qian Shenyong was already thin-skinned and couldn't refuse, so in the past few months, she had exchanged more than 10,000 US dollars for him.
As a result, a director from the government came to gently remind Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian that although our money comes from a very legitimate source and we know that you are helping friends, if you exchange too much money, it will have a negative impact on the bank. Confused, it’s better to change less in the future!
This means that Qilin Food Company has signed a wheat purchase contract with Xuchang City, involving the purchase and sale of millions of tons of wheat every year, which suddenly increased the status of Lin Li and Qian Shenyong.
Otherwise, the Banking Regulatory Commission would have already invited the police over and arrested the couple and sent them to the detention center.
After all, in this day and age, it is still prohibited to exchange U.S. dollars privately—basically, the country likes to plunder all the U.S. dollars it sees and then convert them into RMB for you.
With this excuse, Qian Shenyong did not exchange US dollars for money this month.
But this time he had no choice, "Xiao Li, I won't talk about others...but you don't know the relationship between Lao Dai and me! When you gave birth to your eldest son, it wasn't Lao Dai who went to the countryside to collect 40 Eggs, are they given to us? We have been old friends for decades, how could I see difficulties and not help?"
When her husband mentioned this, the anger on Lin Li's face softened a little, "Isn't Xiaozhen going to study abroad? Can't she go to the bank to exchange some US dollars?"
"How can such a good thing happen?" Qian Shenyong said with a wry smile, "I have asked someone to inquire. If you want to study abroad, you can take your passport to the bank and the bank will give you 60 US dollars, not even a cent more!"
"60 US dollars!?" Lin Li exclaimed, "Isn't that too little?"
"The exchange price of 60 US dollars is 2.5:1. The more they exchange, the more they will suffer. Of course, they can't give more." Qian Shenyong said, "It's pitiful for parents in the world, so after asking around, Lao Dai found out that I had There were some dollars in it, so he begged me..."
"How much does Lao Dai want?" Lin Li asked, nodding.
Qian Shenyong knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it, and said with a shy face, "How much can we give him?"
The 1.2 million yuan that Yin Jun gave to their family was 500 yuan per month in interest to subsidize the family. Qian Shenyong knew about this money.
But Qian Shenyong didn't know how much private money Lin Qingxia gave to her sister, or how much private money Yin Jun gave to his sister-in-law.
Lin Li rolled her eyes at her husband, "It seems that Lao Dai has made a lot of money these years!"
"It can't be said that I have earned a lot, but for the sake of my children, don't I have to dig deep into my family's resources?" Qian Shenyong said, "Just so that Xiaozhen would not be wronged outside, Lao Dai is willing to go all out... He is going to exchange 5,000 for this time. Dollars!”
"5000!?" Lin Li took a breath of air.
5,000 US dollars is 25,000 RMB. In this era, it is definitely a huge sum of money!
"What? No?" Qian Shenyong asked.
"No, where did he get so much money?" Lin Li frowned, "It's better that he doesn't go astray."
"Of course it's not an evil path." Qian Shenyong said, "I have asked his wife's brother-in-law, Xiaoqu from the Civil Affairs Bureau. In the past two years, Lao Dai has been working with two workers on his own, and he gets paid on a piece-rate basis. I can earn more than 20,000 yuan a year!”
"Lao Dai's craftsmanship is very good. If we distribute according to work, we can naturally earn more." Lin Li also believed this, "Then I will exchange the money for him later!"
After a pause, she continued, "Old Qian, it's not that I don't believe you, so I didn't tell you how much money my sister gave me... but that you are too honest, and I'm afraid you might accidentally tell it after you find out. It’s not good to make people even more jealous of us!”
Qian Shenyong said blankly, "More than 1.2 million?"
In his opinion, maybe the second sister-in-law gave him 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. dollars, or at least 50,000 U.S. dollars, which was enough.
But I didn’t expect that my wife would actually say “I’m afraid of people being jealous”!
Many people know about the 1.2 million yuan deposit. My wife didn’t say she was worried about anything at that time, but she was worried about the U.S. dollars at home!
How much does that cost? ?
Lin Li looked back into his eyes and nodded, "Well, much more!"
"Ah?" Qian Shenyong gasped, "Then put it away! I won't ask any more! I'll try not to agree to these things in the future!"
It’s more than 1.2 million yuan, much more. It’s worth millions! ?
Second sister-in-law and Yin Jun are so willing to give up!
Lin Li was a little amused when she saw this, but she still didn't tell the number.
Will she tell Qian Shenyong that Yin Jun told her when he left that if he really needs it urgently, he can just call Zhao Sheng in Huajing and he can send it over for any amount of money.
Lin Li felt a little numb when she thought about such shocking words. How could she dare to mention them to her honest husband?
