Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 17 Refrigerator

After Yang Shuning gave her younger brother a small lesson, Wang Xue already felt that she was staying at home. When Yang Shuning returned to the bedroom, she found that the bedroom had been tidied up by her.

Yang Shuning, who had not eaten meat for almost a month, looked at his wife with piercing eyes. Wang Xue was somewhat shy because of Yang Shuning's thoughtful gaze. She curled her eyelashes and drooped slightly, feeling ashamed.

Although the two of them have been married for a long time, they are still nineteen-year-old girls in their bloom. The girl's innocence, charming and bright mind did not suddenly transform into the fierce and fierce Huaxin young woman. She was regarded as a "big boy" by her husband. Staring with eyes as bright as a thief, her heart naturally filled with shame.

Seeing the shame on Wang Xue's face, Yang Shuning hugged her and said slowly in her ear: "My Xue'er is really a good-natured woman, beautiful on the outside and wise on the inside. She can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. I am the one who can marry you." blessing."

Wang Xueyu's face turned crimson, and her heart trembled slightly. After all, she was a peerless enchantment in her first bloom. Her charming and soft voice also had a hint of coquettishness. She chuckled and said, "Brother Ning, I can't help but praise you so much." Sorry."

Judging from Wang Xue's many years of contact with her husband, she found that her husband was mature and prudent, could express his emotions and anger, spoke and behaved like a young man, and was not at all like a young man in his dealings with others.

Well, not entirely, he is still very motivated when doing certain things.

"Let's go and wash up."

While Wang Xue was still shy, Yang Shuning's words had already fallen.

Although it had happened many times, Wang Xue was still a little nervous. Yang Shuning also knew that Wang Xue refused to give up, and he still understood the character of his little wife.

Without waiting for Wang Xue to react, Yang Shuning hugged the princess and the two entered the bathroom.

after an hour,
Although Yang Shuning was not trying his best, he was considerate of his little wife, but he still really valued his own determination. If he couldn't bear it, he could only let Wang Xue think of a way.

It just so happens that Wang Xue has been learning musical instruments during this period, so let Xueer learn again.

Wang Xue has been doing almost everything he has been told, and the results can be imagined.Reviewed the correct flute playing techniques.

Three inches of cloves are entwined, and cherry blossoms are braided into glutinous shells. It has a unique flavor in its skill.

"Husband, when do you think I can get pregnant?"

Wang Xue, who was held in her husband's arms, asked.

"Let it take its course. We are still young anyway, and the more anxious we are about this, the less likely we are to worry about it. Let's go to bed first. We are a little tired after running all day."

After saying that, Yang Shuning tightened his arms around his beloved wife and began to sleep with his eyes closed.

Wang Xue, who was already tired, fell into a deep sleep after exercising again at night.

When Yang Shuning woke up the next day, Wang Xue was no longer in her arms, so she simply got up and prepared to go to the Chaoshou Veranda to start boxing.When she walked out of the main room, she found Wang Xue and her mother making breakfast together. She did not disturb the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and just continued to fight on her own.

After boxing, they returned to the room to wash up. After breakfast, Wang Xue and her mother rode the newly bought women's bicycles yesterday to work. Yang Shuning was responsible for taking care of Xiao Hao today.After instructing his younger brother to read at home, Yang Shuning came to the post office. He was going to send a telegram to his eldest brother Yang Shuchen in the border area.Now that the family's income is high, Yang Shuning doesn't play short sentences in classical Chinese anymore, lest his eldest brother can't understand it because of his low education and has to find his comrades to help translate.

"Brother, Xue'er and I received the certificate yesterday. The wedding banquet is scheduled for this Sunday. If you have time, come back to visit your relatives. Mom and Xiaohao miss you too. Brother, Shu Ning, July 1960, 7."

After sending the telegram and paying the money, Yang Shuning went to the small store, took out the money and bought two boxes of Arctic Ocean soda.I plan to enjoy it with my family. It is too hot in Beijing in July and there is no air conditioning, so I have to find ways to cool down by myself.

It's a pity that I don't have a refrigerator at home, otherwise I would chill the Arctic Ocean and drink it more deliciously.I originally wanted to buy watermelon, but unfortunately I didn’t have the ticket in my pocket.

Residents with urban household registration in Beijing can receive two watermelon tickets per person per year. You read that right, two watermelons, not two watermelons.A watermelon cut in half into eight pieces can serve four residents each.

Of course, if a resident has a fever, after going to the hospital for treatment, the hospital will issue a fever certificate to the resident, and the resident can buy a piece of watermelon with the fever certificate.

This is still an urban household registration. If it is a rural household registration, it would be embarrassing. Want to eat watermelon?Go to the black market!

After returning home, I went to the door of Jia's house in the middle courtyard to collect water in a basin, and put the Arctic Ocean soda in the basin to cool down. This was using the water basin as a refrigerator.

He asked his brother to change the water at intervals to prevent the soda from getting hot, and then he ran back to the study and started writing a letter.

He told his comrades whose father was not in the capital that he had graduated from college and started working in the 301 Hospital and that he was getting married, and told his classmates that he had received the certificate yesterday.After writing the letter, he took his military handbag, rode on his newly purchased bicycle, and started on his way, using the bicycle as a hot wheel.

He had to personally tell his father's comrades in Beijing that he had graduated from college and started working, and that he was getting married, and invited them to attend his wedding banquet at the Red Star Rolling Mill on Sunday.

After all, unlike later generations, now there are cars and subways, and even buses are slow.After running for two days, Yang Shuning finally informed the elders one by one.

The harvest was quite big. I collected a lot of bills. My comrades whose fathers are still alive have now taken up leadership positions, ranging from department-level cadres to all-level cadres. Of course, there are also higher-level cadres.

Every elder will more or less take care of the children of his comrades who have become martyrs. The comradeship is the most reliable and strongest of all friendships at present, and the friendship between classmates can only be ranked second.

When Yang Shuning checked the bills, he found that he could work as a black market ticket dealer again.A comrade with a father can chew it, it tastes so good!
Among them, what makes Yang Shuning the happiest is a receipt for a refrigerator given by the elders of the Capital Materials Bureau. It seems that this summer will be much easier.

I took Wang Xue and my brother to Wangfujing Department Store again, took out the money and took out the refrigerator, and asked a salesperson to take them home.The neighbors in the courtyard were upset again. Even many neighbors who had never been to a department store didn't know it was a refrigerator.

For example, the current third uncle asked, "Shu Ning, what is this? Is it so big?"

"A refrigerator can be used to freeze things. It freezes on the top and refrigerates on the bottom, so that things can be stored for a longer period of time."

After Yang Shuning explained, he and the boss put the refrigerator in the dining room of the east wing.Plug it in, forget about anything else, and refrigerate the Arctic Ocean first.
