good old days

After visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Xinyu and Wang Sumei began to add electrical appliances and furniture to their home.

After excluding the 10,000 yuan set aside for purchase and turnover, as well as various expenses and favors during the past year, I still have a total of more than 41,100 yuan on hand.

Of course, the more than 40,000 yuan does not include the mother-in-law's 10,000 yuan passbook. She has made up for the money on it. It is up to her mother-in-law how to spend the money.

Two days ago, I went to a department store with my mother-in-law to look at various electrical appliances and got to know the prices of them.

My mother-in-law’s sewing machine was sold before, so I just bought it back together this time.

Wang Sumei was still hesitant on the way there.

"The refrigerator is too expensive and we won't be able to use it, otherwise we wouldn't buy it."

A 125-litre one with a single door costs six to seven hundred, and a double-door one costs one thousand two hundred and three hundred. After asking about the price last time, Wang Sumei felt that her home did not have to have these appliances, and tens of thousands of yuan at home was not too much.

Jiang Xinyu's attitude is firm. She has lived in what can be called "poverty" for several years. What is the purpose of making money? It was just to improve his life. After he had a child, he didn’t want him to live the life in the village where every penny had to be broken into two petals.

Jiang Xinyu pedaled the tricycle hard in front, "Mom, we have agreed that we must buy all these things back today. What is the purpose of making money? Isn't it just to make the family's life better and better? In a few years, the price of electrical appliances will also be It won’t fall off, let’s buy it early and use it early.”

Wang Sumei sat in the car compartment with her wrapped child in her arms against the wind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Otherwise, if we buy Chen Jinhua a single-door refrigerator, we won't buy a refrigerator for ourselves."

Jiang Xinyu was quite convinced and told her mother-in-law to pick it. She was still thinking about buying a refrigerator for Chen Jinhua. If you said she didn't pick it, she wouldn't be willing to buy it for her own family!

"Mom, why are you so nice to Chen Yi's father?"

Wang Sumei hummed: "You can't break your promise if you want to buy it for him. He has helped a lot, so let's just be generous. Although we are close to him at home now, he is still an outsider after all."

Jiang Xinyu understood. Her mother-in-law's theory was that if there was only one candy, between her own children and other children's children, she should stick to other children's children first.

But obviously the money on hand is enough.

Wearing a fur hat and a wool scarf, bundled up tightly, I was sweating from riding to the department store for more than two hours.

Before getting off the car, Wang Sumei touched the child's little hands in her gloves. They felt warm, and she felt relieved.

Chen Jinhua gave a lot of votes. Jiang Xinyu knew that his home had a TV, a radio, and a fan on the cabinet, but there were no other electrical appliances.

There were two tickets for the refrigerator and the washing machine. She planned to take two of each back and give one to Chen Jinhua.

A sewing machine costs one hundred and seventy-five and a half, a double-tub washing machine costs three hundred and fifty-two, a single-door refrigerator costs six hundred and seventy-nine, and an electric fan costs eighty.

Two washing machines, two refrigerators, the electrical appliances alone cost 2,317.4 yuan.

Wang Sumei's heart was bleeding when she paid.

It’s not easy to make money, but it’s spent so quickly!

Households worth ten thousand yuan have appeared in the news, and some people have made a fortune in silence. The sales volume of electrical appliances in department stores this year has been higher than before. However, due to bill restrictions, no matter how high it is, it can't be much higher. I miss Jiang Xinyu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. There are really not many people who can spend more than 2,000 yuan in one go with a ticket like this.

I had the ticket and paid, and the salesperson's service attitude became more friendly.

"You bought so much at one time, how are you going to transport it back?"

Jiang Xinyu's plan was to make two trips back and forth, and she should be able to pull them all back.

"We have a tricycle. We should be able to pull it off in two trips."

I just have to wait until night.

The salesperson said: "We have a small truck here, as well as a master who connects wires and circuits. If you need it, just pay ten yuan, and we will take it home for you and make the circuit smooth."

What else can't we agree to? Spending money on services is a great thing.

Wang Sumei was a little reluctant to give up, but she didn't want Jiang Xinyu to have trouble coming back and forth, and her grandson was also running back and forth with her in the winter, so she could only pay these ten yuan. In addition to tickets for various electrical appliances, Jiang Xinyu also had tickets for milk powder, cigarettes and aquatic products given by Chen Jinhua.

The milk powder ticket was about to expire if I didn't use it, so I bought another two kilograms of milk powder for my son. I also spent the cigarette ticket. I bought a pound of hairtail, half a pound of scallops, and two pounds of jellyfish skin with various aquatic product tickets.

The electrical appliances were all installed outside. Jiang Xinyu carried large and small bags to the truck and put her things in the compartment.

Wang Sumei sat in the cab with her child in her arms, the electrician entered the cargo compartment, and Jiang Xinyu, wrapped tightly, slowly pedaled the tricycle back.

Riding a pedal tricycle takes more than two hours, and you can't go any faster even if you want.

On the way, she saw an old man in tattered clothes carrying a rabbit cage at the entrance of the alley. She called him to stop. When she got closer, she saw that the old man's shoes had exposed toes. She was not cold at first, but she was shocked when she saw this scene. A shiver.

"Sell it or not? How do you sell it?" The area around her mouth was full of breath, so she simply pulled off the scarf.

The old man stretched out his hand and gestured: "Each one is about three pounds, two and a half yuan each. Just buy two for four yuan."

In this business, there is no price reduction like this.

Jiang Xinyu loves to eat rabbit meat, and the rabbit meat fried by her mother-in-law is delicious.

Without further ado, Rabbit Cage entered the bed of her car.

The old man counted his money and left happily. Two people rushed out of the alley.

"Su Qingqing, stop here and ask your mother to pay back the money. How dare you come back?"

Sun Jianwei's voice was so angry that Jiang Xinyu didn't recognize his voice at all for a moment.

However, the three words Su Qingqing are still very clear.

After hesitating for a while, Su Qingqing came closer.

Jiang Xinyu's tricycle was at the entrance of the alley. Su Qingqing gave it a hard push before Sun Jianwei grabbed her arm.

"You're a hooligan, I'm going to sue you for being a hooligan..."

Su Qingqing shouted and attracted the surrounding residents.

Jiang Xinyu silently wanted to ride the tricycle farther away, and then her name was called by Su Qingqing.

"Jiang Xinyu? Why are you here?"

When Su Qingqing yelled, she turned around and saw her. She didn't care about Sun Jianwei for a moment.

Jiang Xinyu asked, "Why can't I be here?"

Does it belong to her family in the capital?

Su Qingqing was too busy at the moment and had no time to chat with her. When someone came, she shouted to everyone: "This person is playing a gangster and won't let me go."

"Young man, what are you doing? If you continue to arrest people, we will call the police."

Sun Jianwei was surrounded by everyone and still refused to let go. His face was so excited that he was almost ferocious: "What do you know? Her mother asked my family to borrow a thousand yuan, and my father kindly asked others to collect the money and lent it to them, and ended up borrowing the money." In a few days, the mother and daughter ran away to Xinjiang Province. Our family is in good shape and owes a lot of debt. You say I am a gangster. If she runs away, where will I find someone? Who will help us pay off my family's debt? "

Su Qingqing could not argue: "I don't know him, he has the wrong person..."
