Chapter 326 Freezer
the next day
Perhaps it was because of the winter, but even after Gu Yihan woke up, she wanted to stay wrapped in the blankets and didn't want to get out of bed.
Hearing Hao Hao chattering to Lu Huailin about his brotherhood with Zhao Hu, he realized that...
I was extremely puzzled
Why is he so energetic? Even when he's shivering from the cold while wearing cotton-padded clothes, he still likes to run outside as soon as he wakes up.
Lu Huailin walked into the bedroom and saw that his wife was awake. Knowing that she was on her period these days and didn't want to move, he patted her affectionately.
He smiled and said, "Honey, you can sleep a little longer. I'll take Hao Hao to the cafeteria for breakfast."
Gu Yihan hummed in agreement, then pointed to the drawer of the dressing table: "There's money and food coupons in the box, don't forget to take them."
"OK."
Lu Huailin took the money and tickets, called Hao Hao, and went downstairs.
One hour later
Gu Yihan stretched and shivered as she put on her cotton-padded coat. Before she could even get out of bed, she heard a series of knocks on the door.
She quickly put on her cotton shoes, went downstairs, and opened the door.
When she saw the tall, thin man in his thirties wearing blue overalls, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The tall, thin man, with a gentle smile on his face, explained, "Hello, I'm a deliveryman from the Supply Bureau. Is this Lu Chenhao's house?"
Gu Yihan's confusion deepened, and she asked, puzzled, "Do you need to see my son?"
Before she could ask them how they got in or what they wanted to see Hao Hao about, she was already in the dark.
The tall, thin man immediately turned to the alley entrance and shouted, "Monkey, the tractor can come in now!"
Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then took two steps forward and turned to see the tractor rumbling towards her door.
The driver nimbly got out of the truck, jumped onto the truck bed, and together with the tall, thin man, they lifted a freezer.
He walked straight past her and headed towards the courtyard.
Gu Yihan was stunned and quickly stepped forward to block their way.
She quickly stopped them, saying, "No, you've delivered it to the wrong place. We didn't buy this."
The tall, thin man asked with a smile, "Are you Comrade Gu Yihan, and your spouse Comrade Lu Huailin? Is your child named Lu Chenhao?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan nodded subconsciously.
"Then it wasn't a mistake. The old gentleman who bought the freezer said it was a gift for his grandson."
After saying that, the tall, thin man and the driver, nicknamed Monkey, lifted the freezer with all their might and asked as they walked, "Comrade, where should we put the freezer?"
Gu Yihan snapped out of her daze, quickly walked to the living room, and pointed to the right side of the sofa: "Put it here!"
The tall, thin man nodded, adjusted the position, and even pulled out an electrical cord to power the freezer.
Seeing that there were no problems, he clapped his hands and took out the receipt for Gu Yihan to sign.
...
At the entrance of the courtyard
Gu Yihan watched the tractor drive away and sighed. There was no need to ask; the freezer must have been bought by Lu's father.
Hearing the roar of the tractor, the neighbors on both sides came out and looked at Gu Yihan with curiosity.
She asked疑惑地问道, "Xiao Han, what did your family buy?"
"Freezer".
When Bai Yun heard the word "freezer," a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. Why didn't they buy a freezer in the summer, but bought one in the dead of winter when they wouldn't need it?
Wu Meili, who was standing beside Bai Yun, had a hint of envy in her eyes, feeling that Gu Yihan was living a very comfortable life.
You can buy whatever you want.
Eat whatever you want.
There's no need to care about other people's gossip.
Unlike her, after marrying into the Gao family, she never saw a penny of Gao Yunlin's salary and had to do laundry, cook, and serve her in-laws.
They also had to endure the gossip and slander from the Gao family relatives.
Zhang Mei didn't think much of it; she was practically half-buried and had never even seen a freezer before.
Curious, he asked, "Is the freezer very big?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Aunt Bai, Aunt Zhang, would you like to come to my house for a while?"
Zhang Mei didn't stand on ceremony and directly pulled Bai Yun, who was standing silently to the side, towards Gu Yihan's house.
Gu Yihan glanced at Wu Meili, whose face was not looking good. Since she didn't get along with Wu Meili, she certainly wouldn't invite her to her home.
Zhang Mei looked at the enormous object, which was about 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide, and almost 1 meter high.
He exclaimed in surprise, "This place can hold a lot of things!"
"This must be worth a lot of money."
Bai Yun replied, "I estimate it will cost around 3,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang quickly withdrew her hand from the refrigerator, as if afraid she might damage it and be unable to afford the compensation.
Although Zhao Xu's salary was not low, he liked to help those wounded and retired soldiers.
This meant that they couldn't even come up with 500 yuan, let alone 3,000 yuan.
Seeing Zhang Mei's actions, Gu Yihan couldn't help but smile and reassured her, "Auntie, this thing is very sturdy and won't break easily."
Seeing that Gu Yihan didn't laugh at her, Zhang Mei liked her even more.
Bai Yun thought more than Zhang Mei; what she wanted to know most was how Gu Yihan obtained the quota.
In addition to the quota, buying a freezer also requires about one hundred industrial vouchers.
"Xiao Han, was the quota for buying the freezer allocated to Division Commander Lu by the military?"
Gu Yihan's expression changed instantly when she heard Bai Yun's question, and she said in a calm voice, "This freezer was bought by the child's grandfather."
Bai Yun noticed that Gu Yihan's tone had turned cold and knew that she had misunderstood.
He explained with a smile, "I've wanted to buy a domestically made freezer for a long time, but I just couldn't get the quota."
"I was thinking that if Commander Lu could get it approved, I would also have Lao Gao apply for a quota."
Gu Yihan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and remained silent, pursing her lips.
She didn't understand Bai Yun and didn't want to judge what the other person truly thought.
afternoon
Hao Hao rushed home and tossed his little schoolbag onto the sofa.
She ran up to the second floor and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom, has the present Grandpa bought for me arrived yet?"
Gu Yihan walked out of the bedroom, looked at him, and asked with a half-smile, "Impressive, you can even be a prophet now."
Hao Hao chuckled upon hearing this: "Grandpa called the school, of course I know!"
After saying that, she stepped forward, hugged Gu Yihan's leg, and said coquettishly, "My dear beautiful mom, please tell me."
Gu Yihan pinched his cheek and teased him, "Your eyesight is already bad at such a young age. Didn't you see the new cabinet on the right side of the sofa?"
Upon hearing this, Hao Hao jumped up excitedly and ran downstairs.
Gu Yihan shook her head and followed his steps, watching him take out several bottles of soda from his backpack and skillfully put them into the freezer.
"You want an iced soda in the middle of winter?"
Hao Hao shook his head and said, "I don't want to drink, I want a smoothie."
He was very energetic, and every time he went to Lu Huailin's father's house, he would ask Lu's father to give him a popsicle.
He felt so good after eating it, especially in winter; it felt even better than eating an ice pop in summer.
"Mom, do you want some?"
Gu Yihan: "I don't want to."
She was on her period, so she couldn't eat even if she wanted to.
