Sophie sat on the sofa, holding a thermos cup and said: "I am not a feudal woman, and I don't need you to support me, but you are a man after all, so you can't let me use money to support the family, right?"
Before Zhao Dong could speak, she continued: "Besides, even if you want me to support you, I can't afford it. I socialize too much in the company and spend money like water. Don't count on me for family matters!"
"
As he spoke, he unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip, "And Aunt Mei is very strict with me. In addition to the basic salary, she won't leave any extra surplus for me."
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, of course he never thought about letting Sophie support the family.
He even had an idea that when the relationship between the two becomes stable in the future, it would be best for Sophie not to go out to work.
Maybe it was the remaining feudal thoughts in his head, but he always felt that it was natural for men to raise women, and capable men should not let women go out to socialize.
With his current monthly salary of about seven to eight thousand, it is not bad for an ordinary family and can support a family's expenses and daily life.
But for Sophie, it was not enough.
It would be a fantasy to ask her to focus on being a full-time housewife and a canary just for this little money.
So it's not that he hasn't thought about the future, it's just that the two people's ideas and concepts are so different that it's simply unrealistic to speak out.
To put it bluntly, with his current ability, there is no way he can completely conquer Sophie.
The so-called future is naturally out of the question.
But since Sophie mentioned it, Zhao Dong certainly couldn't pretend not to hear it.
He thought carefully before saying, "I know you are asking about work. I will resume my job in two days, and my salary will increase by then, about 10,000 yuan per month."
Sophie raised her eyebrows and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."
Zhao Dong couldn't understand, "Then what are you talking about?"
Sophie didn't know how to explain the salary increase of more than 2,000 yuan.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a big improvement.
But in her opinion, the improvement in quality of life is minimal.
Sophie put down the thermos cup and asked seriously, "Have you ever thought about what to do once you return to Jiangbei, what will happen to your commute?"
Zhao Dong also suddenly thought of this problem. After returning to Jiangbei, the rent problem was solved, but how to calculate the time to and from get off work?
Sophie said it's easy to say, since we have a car to travel around, if we take the outer ring road, it will only take half an hour's drive at most.
But what about him?
Don't worry about taking the bus, it will take at least more than an hour without considering the pressure of traffic jams.
If you go out during the morning rush hour, you may have to arrive half an hour early to ensure you are not late.
The subway is not congested and the speed is quite fast, but the Diyuan area is a high-end residence.
When we first built the house, we only considered education, environment and medical care, and there was no way to take into account transportation issues.
Besides, no one who can afford a house in Imperial Garden takes the subway to and from get off work every day.
Therefore, the community is not close to the light rail station.
After getting off the subway, I still have to take the bus for half an hour, which is even more troublesome.
It is for this reason that the security work of Imperial Garden is provided by the property company with food and accommodation.
It's okay to be single, but now that I'm with Sophie, I definitely can't live in a dormitory anymore.
So once you move, commuting is the biggest problem.
According to Diyuan's standard of starting work at eight o'clock, it takes half an hour to wash up and an hour and a half to commute. Calculating, he has to get up at six o'clock to make it in time.
It's not that he can't get up, after all, he has developed the habit of getting up early in the army, and he still maintains this habit.
But the daily round trip takes more than three hours, which is too time-consuming.
Sophie didn't say much. Since Zhao Dong had already thought of this, there was no need for her to persuade him.
It's not that Zhao Dong has to change his job, but the time cost is too much and the job loses its meaning.
The reason is not difficult to understand, and she believes that Zhao Dong can figure it out.
