"If you really want to give me ......," Zhuang Xiaomeng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "When I get off work, I'll find you to get it." ”

"Then I'll wait for you." Geng Wenyang said after a while: "I earn seven thousand eight now, and if I give you ten percent is seven hundred and eight, I will simply give you eight hundred yuan." ”

Eight hundred! Zhuang Xiaomeng's eyes widened in shock, and he said in ecstasy: "My good girl! This is a fortune! ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng's monthly salary plus bonus is only more than 80 yuan, and 800 yuan is almost equivalent to her income for ten months, which is a lot of money.

She forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in her heart, stabilized her mind, and applied for a 4,000 yuan fixed deposit with a three-month deposit for Geng Wenyang.

After depositing the 4,000 yuan fixed deposit, Geng Wenyang still had 3,800 yuan left in his hand. There is also 2,100 yuan to repay Zhuang Xiaomeng's loan, another 800 yuan to pay her transcription fees, and the remaining 900 yuan Geng Wenyang is ready to be used for emergencies during the Spring Festival.

Although he had a "huge amount" of more than 3,000 yuan in his pocket, Geng Wenyang didn't care. In his previous life, he had carried tens of thousands of yuan in cash, and more than 3,000 yuan was not a piece of cake for him?

On Chinese New Year's Eve in the late eighties, a very small number of popular shops were open in the morning and closed in the afternoon. Therefore, if you want to buy supplementary New Year's goods, the morning is the last chance before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Geng Wenyang first went to a famous grilled chicken shop to queue up to buy five grilled chickens, and then went to a lo-mei shop to buy ten catties of sauced beef, and then rode a bicycle and rushed home.

He handed over three grilled chickens and five catties of sauced beef to his mother, and Li Yufen couldn't help but feel distressed: "Oops! How much does it cost? You child, you can't spend money indiscriminately, you have to save it for your daughter-in-law in the future! ”

Geng Wenyang said with a smile: "Mom, three grilled chickens and a few catties of beef are called indiscriminate spending?" No matter how much money you save, it's not enough to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Li Yufen said: "I'm not saying that there is more money and less money, what I am saying is this. ”

Geng Wenyang couldn't help but complain: "Mom, I got a pig's head at home during the Chinese New Year, and then two catties of sausages and a little meat." For the Chinese New Year, I don't want to eat such fat pig's head meat, or beef is enjoyable. ”

"Don't you have to count your days?" Li Yufen sighed and asked, "What are you doing with those two chickens and meat in your hand?" ”

"Leave that alone." Geng Wenyang smiled and said, "I have to go and return the favor." ”

"What kind of favor is so expensive, grilled chicken and beef?" Li Yufen muttered while carrying the grilled chicken and beef to the kitchen.

When Geng Wenyang came to Zhuang Fujin's house with two grilled chickens and five pounds of beef, Zhuang Xiaomeng had just gotten off work and was busy with his mother for lunch on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Seeing Geng Wenyang come to the door with delicious grilled chicken and beef, Zhuang Fujin and Zhang Minhua were a little surprised. Although the two families are old neighbors in the same hospital, the relationship is not good enough to send chicken and meat during the New Year's holidays. After all, everyone is not very rich, and two grilled chickens and five catties of beef mean a lot of gifts.

Compared with the habits of previous years, Geng Wenyang's actions were a little too unexpected.

Zhuang Fujin had to ask: "Yangyang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Geng Wenyang said sincerely: "Uncle Zhuang, you helped me solve the work, and helped me print books to find a way." These chickens and meat are a little bit of my heart, so you can take them. ”

Seeing that he was so sincere, Zhuang Fujin couldn't help but sigh: "You kid, you're too polite!" ”

After Geng Wenyang handed over the chicken and beef to Zhang Minhua, he followed Zhuang Xiaomeng to her room.

"Sister, this is two thousand and one to pay you back, you can click on it." As soon as he entered the door, Geng Wenyang took out an envelope and handed it to Zhuang Xiaomeng.

Zhuang Xiaomeng was on business, took out a stack of fifty yuan bills in the envelope and counted them one by one, and said, "Well, two thousand one hundred yuan is just right!" ”

"Sister, thank you for lending me money." Geng Wenyang said: "If you weren't willing to lend me money, my novel wouldn't have been printed." Therefore, you are my nobleman, and I have to thank you very much. ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng pursed her lips and smiled: "Wen Yang, have you forgotten something?" ”

Geng Wenyang grinned, took out an envelope from his pocket and said, "Sister, this is for you to transcribe eight hundred yuan, please take it." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Zhuang Xiaomeng snatched the envelope, took out the money and counted it greedily: "Eight hundred yuan is just right, this money is mine!" ”

Geng Wenyang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Sister, after the New Year, you can help me pay attention to the documents on treasury bills, and tell me if there is any movement." ”

"Treasury bills?" Zhuang Xiaomeng was surprised: "That thing can't be used as money, and you have to rely on a showdown every year to complete the sales task." Why do you care about this? ”

Treasury bills in the eighties were equivalent to book-entry or certificate-type treasury bonds that were issued publicly in later generations.

However, compared with the government bonds, which were sold in a very tight manner in later generations, treasury bills in this era were not accepted by the common people.

In order to complete the issuance tasks arranged by the superiors, the competent departments can only decompose and apportion them to various enterprises and institutions. Enterprises and institutions also have no good way to solve the problem, and can only be forcibly arranged to everyone through payroll.

Treasury bills in the late eighties had much higher interest rates than later generations. For example, the three-year Treasury bills issued in '88 had an incredible annual interest rate of 10 percent.

In comparison, the interest rate on three-year government bonds issued in 2018 was only 4 percent, which was more than double the former.

If we go back to the 21st century, bonds with such a high rate of return would have been sold out like crazy, and they would have been more popular than all kinds of government bonds. Even those ultra-high-yield wealth management products touted all day long may only be able to hope that their backs are incompatible.

Today's treasury bills contain a deep knowledge of making money, but Geng Wenyang can't tell Zhuang Xiaomengming yet, so as to save unnecessary trouble after being leaked prematurely.

He smiled faintly and said, "Sister, don't worry about it, just tell me if you have anything." ”

Zhuang Xiao dreamed that he looked confident, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll pay attention." ”

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers are heard everywhere as soon as it gets dark, and occasionally various flowers bloom in the night sky. The air is filled with the special aroma of sulfur and gunpowder after burning, which directly evokes the smell of the New Year buried in people's subconscious for a year.

After the families had a sumptuous dinner, the family sat around the TV to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Geng Wenyang's heart is all about how to make money, and he has no interest in the Spring Festival Gala, which he has been tired of. After pretending to accompany his parents for a short while, he returned to his room and continued to write a novel.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly remembered the sound of fierce firecrackers outside the window. Geng Wenyang raised his head and looked out the window, and through the curtains, he could vaguely see brilliant flowers blooming in the dark night sky.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, the New Year's bell rang on TV, solemnly announcing the official arrival of the Year of the Dragon!
