Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 246 The Washing Machine

The winter sun shines all over the capital city, casting a layer of golden light on this city full of historical antiquity.

The washing machine was placed on a tricycle, Li Weidong was riding a tricycle, Yu Li sat on it and supported the washing machine, and the two walked through the pale golden world.

Yu Li's brows and eyes were filled with unconcealable happiness.

Now I have a sewing machine and a radio at home.

Coupled with this washing machine, the living conditions of this small family have surpassed 90.00% of families in this era.

What moved her even more was that Li Weidong was willing to spend a lot of money just to save her some effort.

Which woman doesn't want to be valued by her own man!

At this time, Yu Li even felt that the happiness in front of her seemed a little unreal.

She was afraid that if she just blinked her eyes, happiness would burst like soap bubbles and turn into a ball of bubbles.

Yu Li suppressed it for a long time, and finally couldn't help blinking.

When he opened his eyes and saw the washing machine and Li Weidong pedaling in front of him, he let out a long sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hearing the crisp laughter, Li Weidong turned his head and looked at Yu Li suspiciously: "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing! Pedal slowly, don't get tired." Yu Li smiled at the corner of her mouth, stretched out her sleeve and wiped the sweat on Li Weidong's brow.

The department store is only seven or eight miles away from the courtyard house.

Li Weidong's long legs kicked his pedals like a hot wheel, and it took less than 10 minutes to return to the courtyard.

Today is the weekend, and there are people coming and going at the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as Li Weidong parked the tricycle, he attracted the attention of the residents.

Next door Zhou Dashen came over with a vegetable basket on his shoulders, and asked with wide eyes: "My dear, what is this, such a big cardboard box?"

Uncle Liu could read, pointed to the words on the packing box and said, "The washing machine is manufactured by Shenyang Daily Use Research Institute."

"Washing machine? What is a washing machine?"

"It's a bitch, isn't it? Let me tell you, a washing machine is a machine for washing clothes."

"Cut~ The machine can still be washed by the machine, you, just lie to a three-year-old child!"

"Hey, you bastard, you really don't study and have no culture, my uncle's second boy's daughter-in-law's sister works as a waiter in a big hotel.

According to her, those old men in the hotel use this thing for laundry.

People wash their clothes every day, unlike us, who only do it once a week. "

"Huo, Weidong, you are considered the best in our compound this time!"

"It's really lucky for Yu Li to marry Li Weidong. If she marries the Yan family, when washing clothes, don't mention the washing machine. I'm afraid you can't even use washing powder. You can only use saponins."

Amidst the discussion, the residents cast admiring glances at Li Weidong.

Li Weidong is used to this kind of scene.

People who succeed by their own hard work, no matter where they go, are all masters!

Shazhu was originally walking with Han Zhizhi.

Seeing that the gate was full of people, he cautiously looked at Han Zhizhi: "Daughter-in-law, I want to watch the excitement."

After getting married, Han Zhizhi set up rules for Shazhu.

First, do not associate with Yi Zhonghai's family.

Second, don't rub against Qin Huairu's ass.

Third, don't join in the fun in crowded places.

Fourth, what the daughter-in-law said is correct.

Fifth, if you are wrong, please refer to the fourth article.

As a big man, Sha Zhu is of course unwilling to sign such a treaty that humiliates men.

Facing Shazhu who stood up, Han Zhizhi just touched his stomach lightly, and Shazhu gave in and agreed completely.

What Han Zhizhi was carrying was his own child.

When Shazhu was bare-boned, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't care much about children.

but.

When Han Zhizhi put his hand on his belly, Shazhu felt the movement in his stomach, and his heart was broken at that moment.

The feeling of being connected by blood made him feel the greatest happiness in the world.

At that time, Shazhu swore secretly that no matter whether the child in Han Zhizhi's stomach was a boy or a girl, he would not let the child suffer any grievances.

If you want your child not to be wronged, the child's mother can't be wronged.

Since then, Shazhu has been reduced to a housewife, staying at home all day, never going out of the door, and wanting to join in the fun needs Han Zhizhi's approval.

Han Zhizhi stepped on his feet to look, and said with a smile: "Hey, it seems to be Brother Wei Dong and Sister Yu Li. Let's go and have a look."

Han Zhizhi is older than Li Weidong and Yu Li, but she often calls Weidong and Yu Li brothers and sisters.

Silly Zhu corrected it several times, but instead of correcting it, Han Zhizhi forced him to yell like that.

Silly Zhu opened the way in front and carefully separated the crowd. When he saw the things on the tricycle, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Brother Weidong, where did you get a washing machine? It's amazing! This thing, I’ve only seen it at the old leader’s house.”

Hearing that the old leader also had one in his house, the residents looked at Li Weidong with awe in their eyes.

Li Weidong said with a smile: "Silly Zhu, don't watch the fun there, I was worrying about how to carry it to the yard, so I came here to help."

"Okay!" Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.

He knew that Han Zhizhi would definitely not stop Li Weidong's family.

Li Weidong and Shazhu carried the washing machine into the compound, instead of carrying it directly to the house, they put it next to the pool in the middle courtyard.

When you buy a washing machine, you have to try it out to see if it works. There is the only faucet in the courtyard in the courtyard.

After removing the wrapping paper, Li Weidong brought the gasoline hose from the house, used pliers and wire to twist one end of the hose to the faucet, and then inserted the other end into the water inlet of the washing machine.

Since Li Weidong's home is in the backyard and there is no such a long electric cord, Li Weidong handed the electric cord to Shazhu: "Brother Zhuzi, do you mind borrowing your home's electricity?"

Before Silly Zhu could react, Han Zhizhi waved his hand and said grandly:

"What do you mind, isn't it just a little electricity, silly Zhu, you quickly find the plug to the board, and then move me a chair, the child is moving in the stomach."

"Okay!" Sha Zhu got the order, and ran into the house in a hurry.

After the electric cord was plugged in, Yu Li brought the dirty clothes from home, threw them into the washing machine, and turned on the tap.

Crashing, tap water flowed into the washing machine along the hose.

The residents next to it have never seen such a strange thing before, no, they all gathered around to watch.

Qin Huairu happened to come in from the outside, and she knew at a glance that it was Li Weidong who bought the washing machine.

I feel a little envious of Yu Li's good life.

If she was a few years younger and hadn't married Jia Dongxu, the washing machine would be hers now.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world!
Qin Huairu is a smart woman, she knows her current status, even if Li Weidong is not married, she will not be with her.

However, Qin Huairu is already content to be a concubine.

When I was with Li Weidong at the beginning, Qin Huairu did it to borrow money from Li Weidong.

The transaction between the two is purely money, without the slightest emotion.

But the number of transactions increased, and Qin Huairu found that Li Weidong had left a deep imprint on her body and heart.

Li Weidong is not like other men, just to take advantage of her.

On the contrary, I often help her with ideas.

Now Qin Huairu's life in the workshop is much better, and he has also become the master of the courtyard. Qin Huairu knows that these are all thanks to Li Weidong.

Such a capable and strong man, as long as Qin Huairu thinks about it in his heart, his hands and feet will feel a little weak.

She is already content to be able to share a fortune with Yu Li.

So, she hid her jealousy towards Li deeply in her heart, walked up and said with a smile: "Second uncle, it will be much more convenient for you to do laundry in the future."

Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, Yu Li nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

She always felt that something was wrong with Qin Huairu's eyes on Li Weidong.

Qin Huairu looked at it for a while, then returned to the house.

She also had to count the matchboxes Jia Zhang handed in.

After entering the house, she realized that Qin Jingru had already counted for her: "Sister, grandma Banggen broke three more matchboxes today."

Pasting matchboxes seems simple, but it is also a technical job.

Jia Zhang has never done any work on weekdays, his hands and feet are slow, and he often breaks boxes.

If the box is broken, the match factory will deduct money.

Qin Huairu was very distressed, and said with a cold face: "Yesterday, three were also broken. I think Jia Zhang did it on purpose. I have to talk to her when we have dinner tonight."

Qin Jingru put the box in the basket and prepared to send it to the street office.

Hearing the noise outside, she asked: "Sister, what happened outside, why is it so lively?"

Qin Huairu took a sip of water from the enamel jar, and said lightly, "Li Weidong bought Yu Li a washing machine."

"What is a washing machine?"

"It's the washing machine, which is too expensive."

"Is it more expensive than TV?" In Qin Jingru's opinion, the most expensive home appliance is the TV.

The entire Qinjiagou didn't even have a TV set, and she didn't know that there were such advanced things in the world until she came to the city.

Qin Huairu nodded: "Let's put it this way, you can buy a TV ticket with the TV, but you can't buy a washing machine even if you have a ticket."

"You can't buy it even if you have money!" Qin Jingru couldn't help swallowing, sat down on the chair, and said enviously: "Yu Li is so happy, she is both Brother Wei Dong's woman, why does she have a washing machine? I don't!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu frowned, stood up and closed the door, stared at Qin Jingru's eyes, and said angrily: "You are going to die! If you are heard by others, you will cause big trouble."

Qin Jingru also knew that she was negligent, so she covered her mouth with her hand in fright, and then curled her lips and said, "I'm just a little unconvinced!"

Looking at Qin Jingru's appearance as a little girl, Qin Huairu knew that she had something in mind.

Originally, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were at odds with each other in order to compete for the right to use Li Weidong.

but.

If something happened to Qin Jingru, she, Qin Huairu, would definitely blame Li Weidong.

When the time comes, Li Weidong will leave, Qin Huairu can only return to the lonely days before.

Ever since Qin Huairu was with Li Weidong, she felt a joy she had never felt before, and the fire in her heart that had been extinguished for a long time was rekindled.

Once the fire is lit, it cannot be extinguished.

Qin Huairu can't watch Qin Jingru destroy her happiness.

He stretched out his hand to grab Qin Jingru's arm, and said sharply: "Jingru, don't forget your identity. You are just a country girl, and everyone in the commune knows that you came to the city for a blind date. If you annoy Li Weidong, you can only If you are driven back to Qinjiagou, what will the villagers think of you then?"

Qin Jingru was in pain from being caught by Qin Huairu, but was restrained by Qin Huairu's aura, she didn't dare to move, and said awkwardly: "Sister, I'm just a little unconvinced, you said, I've already made love to Li Weidong, and I'll hand everything over to you." I gave it to him, why doesn't he help me find a job? I also want to be like my sister and become a city dweller."

After understanding Qin Jingru's intentions, Qin Huairu heaved a sigh of relief, and said amusedly: "Silly girl, you think it's so easy to find a job in the city! Now the factory is full of carrots and pits, you are a country girl, you want culture How can I find a job for you if you have no education and no strength?”

Seeing Qin Jingru's downcast expression, Qin Huairu comforted him: "But don't worry, Li Weidong is not the kind of man who lifts up his pants and refuses to accept his account. As long as you treat him sincerely and make him feel comfortable serving him, he will definitely not ignore you."

"Well, I'll listen to my sister." Qin Jingru looked out of the window, sparks of hope shone in his dark eyes.

All Qin Jingru needs is an opportunity to work.

She has hands and feet, so she can fully support herself by then.

yard.

The water in the washing machine was full, so Yu Li put the dirty clothes into the washing machine and sprinkled the laundry.

Li Weidong gently twisted the button, and the washing machine started to "buzz".

The sound startled the onlookers.

"My dear, the voice is too loud!"

"Sure, there is a motor inside, and it depends on the rotation of the motor to drive the water to rotate, so that the clothes can be washed clean."

"Hey, why is there no sound?"

The washing machine spun twice and then stopped suddenly.

Li Weidong frowned, is the washing machine broken?

I can't.

Although there is a shortage of materials in this era, the quality of the products produced is excellent, and it will not be a problem at all if it takes ten or eight years.

Li Weidong turned the switch twice, and seeing that there was no response, he seemed to remember something, and looked up at Silly Zhu: "Silly Zhu, go and see if there is electricity in the house."

Before Silly Zhu entered the house, Jia Zhang's joyful shout came from Xu Damao's room: "Qin Huairu, the power is out, old lady, I can't see, so I won't paste the matchboxes today!"

power cut?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

Li Weidong looked at Shazhu and said, "Go to the compound next door to see if there is a real power outage."

Silly Zhu turned around and ran out, and after a while, he came back out of breath: "Brother Weidong, I didn't hear you in the compound next door. I pulled the cord of the old Liutou's light, and the light can be turned on."

There was no power outage in the compound next door, but the courtyard house had a power outage.
Li Weidong turned his attention to the washing machine again. Could it be that the power of this thing is too high, and it tripped the electric switch of the courtyard?
Generally speaking, the power of a washing machine is less than two hundred watts, which is not worth mentioning compared to the kilowatt power of later generations of electrical appliances.

but.

The lines in this era are old, and one transformer needs to supply electricity to tens of thousands of households.

The electrical appliances in the residents' homes - the power of incandescent bulbs is only five watts.

A washing machine can meet the electricity consumption of more than 40 households.

It is strange that the switch does not trip!
