Morning reading | Tong Zi Rong: Private money is also fun

To tell a joke, how can a Shanghai man not have a little private money? I also have private money, the so-called open secrets, and a long history, so I have a deep experience.

This year, when it comes to private money, it is relatively calm, and it is casually stuffed into the envelope at home and left there. Unlike in the past, sneaking, dodging and dodging, it is also a pitiful little money, but also to use all your brains, Tibet in the east, hiding in the end even you can't find yourself. And don't try to mobilize your wife to find it together, so it's not embarrassing!

There is no doubt that I also have private money, the so-called open secrets, and a long history, so the experience is also quite deep. To tell a joke, if Shanghai men do not have a little private money, do they still deserve to be called authentic Shanghai men? Then again, most good men in Shanghai don't have "ulterior motives", but have a bottom line, or a principle: restraint, considerable restraint. However, in the past few years, I have also been forced to refrain from it, because there is a small income, often no longer find gold, all hit the card! Now the biggest source of my private money is the fee I get after investing a little article. But after the money transfer came alone, it was lucky to be able to get into my hands. The postman threw it against the ground floor window and ran away, and my wife happened to be the "kitchen prime minister", and quite often she "seized" it, so the confiscation was not negotiable. Of course, she also said hello to me—always asking me to come forward to get it—but the implication was: Don't forget where to rub it. God, her memory in this file has not declined at all, and if I am absent-minded, she will be eager to remind me. This old lady!

In fact, what else do you want for a man like me? Don't smoke, don't drink, shave your head and don't be very active, go out instead of taking a taxi but on the subway, bus or simply walking. In this way, this private money is put aside, and the ultimate use is nothing more than to spend it on the home. Especially if I encounter any urgent need, I will excitedly shout: "Hey, I have a little bit here, it should be enough!" "My wife was pleasantly surprised, and I, a man, have also made a contribution.

There is a bridge section, a little famous in my family, say it to make everyone laugh.

When I cleaned up my old belongings that day, I suddenly turned to a paper passbook. I thought I could make a small fortune, but I didn't expect the number to be zero, which made me very frustrated. I just wanted to tear it up and throw it away, but I was stopped by the wife next to me: "Don't, you can also use it." In the future, if there is any private money, it will be handed over to me, and I will deposit it in the bank for you, which is convenient. "What!" I yelled, "This is still called private money!" My wife reacted to this, so she laughed and walked away.

From private money, it is also associated with the "strict management of wives" of Shanghai men. To be honest, I've always seen it as a big show of Shanghainese tone. These three words may not sound very useful, but real Shanghai men are proud of them. The wife is her own wife to marry, a lifelong partner, not joking, willing to obey the command, she said east, I will not face west, this is a matter of course. Are you going to be a Shanghai man? Friends, to open a joke, the wisdom and integrity of Shanghainese people will be put aside, and you will start from this point! The wife is from the little girl to accompany you to the old woman, her contribution to the family, the contribution to the cause, is indispensable, so when you are young, you should cherish it, and you still have to cherish it when you are old. Again, the saying goes: Who told you to marry her?

To my wife, I have the following summaries: first, she slept well, and as soon as her head fell on the pillow, she would snore softly in less than a quarter of an hour; second, she drank a lot of water and had to "wash her stomach" at every turn; third, she had a strong appetite, so at home, unwelcome dishes were finally wrapped by her; fourth, she was "white" and thoughtful, and when she came to a phone call inviting her out to eat or go on an outing, she was instantly excited. The final conclusion: I congratulate her on her longevity. She smiled in acquiescence. I said in my heart, "It's not bad that I've fallen down and someone has served." "It's a bit selfish to think about, don't say it.

So, friend, I'm still a little curious, do you still hide your private money today? Speak up, communicate. (Tong Zirong)
