Chapter 145 Room

“53.5 yuan, that’s only a little less than your dad’s. Your dad has 79.5 yuan now. I don’t know what level of cadre he is, I can’t calculate that.” He Yuping couldn’t calculate these cadre ranks and salary assessments either.

Anyway, her husband always shows her his pay slips every month, and that's all the money she sees.

"I don't know either. I'm a bit confused, so I just go with whatever he says. With a transparent and publicly available payslip like this, how could he possibly deduct from my payslip?" He Caiwei really hadn't expected that someone would deduct from someone else's payslip at a time like this. After all, if this matter really came to light, the person who calculated the payslip would not only lose their job, but would definitely have to go to the police station.

"No, we've never heard of anyone having their wages deducted for no reason. Besides, you're going to be an accountant in the finance department, so you'll be calculating your own salary. What are you worried about?" He Yuping suddenly remembered that her daughter went to a textile factory and was working as an accountant, and her daughter was calculating her own salary.

The mother and daughter then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Lu Zhiheng took his eldest nephew shopping and when he came back, he saw the mother and daughter laughing over there. The old man was also sitting there, laughing happily. The two little ones had no idea what their mother and older sister were talking about. Seeing them laughing, the two boys laughed along with them.

"Dad, what did you buy to eat?" His dad and older brother had just dropped him off at the door and left, saying they were going to buy something. But they didn't come back for more than half an hour. He wondered what they had been doing.

There are very, very few stores that are currently in trial operation; most of those boxes contain restaurants.

With so many factories around here, it's impossible to eat inside the factories, so these small private shops outside are doing pretty well.

However, food is in short supply right now, and it takes several trips to find some. Director Zhang has almost stopped working at 2 PM. He is really worried this time.

There's nobody here anymore, so who would grow food? Besides, this is by the sea, so growing food on that land is simply not practical. The yield wouldn't even be as good as growing food on ordinary land. Most of the food would be barely enough to feed ourselves, let alone a family with several children.

Although fishing was later allowed again, most of the people had already left. The boats were in a state of disrepair after a year or two of abandonment, and no one knew how bad they were. Who would dare to sail those boats? Wouldn't they be afraid of losing their lives?

Who wouldn't value their own life and go out to sea to fish in that beat-up old boat?

"Don't you like seafood? I bought you some. Things are quite expensive now, and they're not as good as they used to be." Lu Zhiheng genuinely felt that the seafood wasn't very fresh and was especially expensive.

"Wouldn't fewer people go out to sea to salvage things? That would definitely make things more expensive, and if they're expensive, nobody would want them, and if nobody wants them, they wouldn't be fresh, right? Just eat whatever's fresh, you know I'm not picky." He Caiwei didn't think there was a need to eat anything fancy. He had plenty of good food in his space; he just wanted to have a meal with his family and didn't need anything else.

"Alright, alright, daughter, dinner tonight is all yours. You know how many years it's been since your dad has had your cooking? I've been missing it so much..." Lu Zhiheng really wanted to cook for her. He didn't know why, but even if his wife cooked something delicious, it couldn't compare to his daughter's cooking.

I haven't had my daughter's cooking for several years, and seeing her suddenly made me miss it.

"Okay, okay, take the things to the kitchen, I'll change my clothes and go make them." He Caiwei was speechless when she heard what her father said. She picked up her things and turned to go back to her room.

Her clothes aren't really suitable for cooking; she should go back and change into something more casual for home.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward to help him take the two bags and carried them back to her room.

Last year, when the room was renovated, Lu Qingfeng also made some changes. He didn't know if the girl would like it, so he was a little uneasy the whole way.

"What's wrong? You seem a bit off. Did something happen?" He Caiwei noticed that Lu Qingfeng's mood was very unusual today; he would never be like this normally.

He's not some weak, innocent girl, so how did he suddenly transform into this quiet, handsome young man?

"No." Lu Qingfeng really didn't know what to say; he couldn't explain it in a single sentence.

"Are you sure you don't?" He Caiwei looked at Lu Qingfeng, whose eyes were darting around, with complete disbelief.

"No, let's go back to our room first."

He Caiwei was at a loss seeing his expression. If she couldn't get him to talk, then so be it. But she was better not to let him find out that this kid had done anything to betray her, or she would deal with him in no time.

He Caiwei saw a red ribbon tied to her door and suddenly remembered that her father had mentioned the home renovation before.

Turning his head and seeing Lu Qingfeng's somewhat evasive gaze, he knew that what Lu Qingfeng was hiding must be related to this room.

Reaching out, she pulled off the red ribbon and pushed open the door. Suddenly, a large number of pale pink petals fluttered down from the door, dividing the room into four layers, with pale pink gauze windows.

The overall style looks a bit like the room of a well-bred lady in Shanghai during the Republican era. He Caiwei likes this style very much. In particular, although these gauze curtains are not easy to wash, this light pink gauze is hard to find. It seems that the person who designed this room put a lot of thought into it.

“I really like this room, thank you, Lu Qingfeng.” He Caiwei turned her head, reached out and pulled him over, gently kissing him on the cheek.

Lu Qingfeng was completely stunned; he truly hadn't expected to receive such a benefit.

"I'm glad you like it, no need to thank me." Seeing how much she liked it, Lu Qingfeng felt relieved. He had been worried that she wouldn't like it when he changed the room to this style.

"This kind of sand must be hard to find, where did you find it?" He Caiwei reached out and grasped a piece of pink gauze, rubbing it in her hands.

“When I went to Shanghai to study before, I saw them make a batch. Actually, their machines couldn’t make this kind of thing, but it seems that they made a batch of this yarn after a mistake. However, their leaders were not satisfied, so they put it on hold. I saw that there were quite a lot, so I bought them all, only 4 rolls.” Lu Qingfeng felt that this kind of thing would definitely be popular in the market in the future. After all, everyone loves beauty, and this kind of yarn is really beautiful.

It can be made into scarves of different sizes and lengths, and of course, it can be made into other colors, since pink is not a color that everyone likes.

"It's pretty good, and the quality is definitely better than the scarves sold in department stores these days. By the way, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working in Guangcheng right now?" He Caiwei only remembered when she heard him mention work that he should be at work.
