Chapter 190 A Good Start
When Wen Xiuyun entered the room, she realized that there were no guests in the room, and their voices were being carried out loudly.
Instead, just a few days ago there was a new telephone on a high table, and today there's a new television set. Next to the television set, there's a vase of vibrant pink roses.
Wen Xiuyun had seen a television set before. She and Yu Fugui had seen it when they went to celebrate a happy occasion at the home of Yu Fugui's business partner in the city. There were no television sets for sale in the city.
It's only available in the city.
The new telephone was installed not long ago, and now a television has been installed as well. It seems that Xiao Cheng's business outside is doing very well.
I went out and bought a TV.
Wen Xiuyun drank the tea that Bailu had poured for her while watching TV, until Bailu came out with the notebook and money.
He then laughed and congratulated them, "This TV is really great, it's so novel, much better than a radio. You can listen to music and watch TV programs. Nobody in town has installed one yet, you're the first. Congratulations!"
Bai Lu handed the calculated money to Wen Xiuyun and said with a smile, "We only have the advantage of being able to bring goods out of the province first. If it weren't for the fact that there are no TVs for sale in the city and that transportation out of the city is inconvenient, people in the town would have already been fully equipped with them. How could we have gotten first place?"
"That's because your Xiao Cheng is so capable, he got the goods before others." Wen Xiuyun praised him without reservation.
Inside the house, Bai Lu was talking to Wen Xiuyun.
Bai Lu smiled sheepishly: "He brought back a lot of new TVs, planning to open a shop in the city to sell them. Before he brought this TV home, he asked me what size I wanted, and I said any size was fine. He brought back this big one, and I don't know what to say."
Bai Lu smiled and agreed, seeing Wen Xiuyun out: "No rush, you and Uncle Fugui can discuss it properly. If there's anything you don't understand, come pick up the chestnuts tomorrow morning and watch some TV and chat. Anyway, our house is right next door, and Acheng and I are both home. Acheng doesn't go out that early."
After all, during meals, the two brothers would also serve her food, especially meat to help her recover.
Upon hearing that the warranty address was right next door, Wen Xiuyun had no reason to worry and readily agreed.
And there was tenderness overflowing in his eyes.
Judging from their perfect understanding and friendly tone, Bai Lu even wondered if these two had made up.
Anyway, Xiao Wei will be the one to start the fire, so she doesn't care anymore. She'll just be lazy today, watch TV, and wait for dinner.
Before the housewarming party, Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui discussed getting a new TV for their home.
She washed the ginger, and in just a few minutes, she had memorized all the information perfectly and answered his questions flawlessly.
Bai Lu nodded: "We not only sell televisions, but also electric fans, light tubes, flashlights, light bulbs... all kinds of household appliances, big and small."
"In addition to our 21-inch color TV, we also have 14-inch, 17-inch, 19-inch, and 25-inch TVs... If you think that's too big, we also have 9-inch and 12-inch black and white TVs. We also have fishbone antennas and satellite dishes; the signal is very good. We have a satellite dish at home, so we have quite a few channels. Let me change the channel for you..."
So... it was meant to give him a lucky start.
Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui both sell fruit, and when they have free time they have to pick and buy goods, so they haven't had time to go to Nanshi.
My interest waned, and I felt it wasn't worth making a trip to Nanshi just for a television set.
"Congratulations on the grand opening of Mr. Xiao's new store!"
Xiao Wei's congratulations arrived just in time, followed a second by a pleasant, melodious laugh from both the big and small children.
Wen Xiuyun smiled broadly: "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, your Uncle Fugui and I will go to the city to take a look."
Looking closely at the TV in Bai Lu's house, he became more and more satisfied and more and more eager to know more: "Bai Lu, when will your family's appliance store open? Where in the city is it located? Your Uncle Fugui and I would like to go and have a look."
After seeing Wen Xiuyun off, Bai Lu closed the door and went back to the kitchen, winking at Xiao Cheng who was cooking.
As expected, my older brother still prefers Bailu (White Dew).
It wasn't a faint smile with slightly pursed lips, nor a barely perceptible smirk, but a smile that radiated from his eyes and brows, with the corners of his mouth turned up, an obvious joy and delight, like a blooming epiphyllum on a glacier, making everything else pale in comparison.
Wen Xiuyun immediately became interested: "Your Xiao Cheng is going to open a shop in the city? Selling televisions?"
The television set delayed the housewarming celebration.
A new house brings a new look and good fortune. Not only does it have a good meaning and give them face, it also helps them to establish themselves in the town, since they are outsiders.
Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love!
Bai Lu ran away, clutching her wildly beating heart.
"Wishing you and your wife great success in your business!"
He finally understood why she hadn't watched TV all afternoon, but had turned it on and opened the gate at sunset, asking him for details about various products.
For the first time, Xiao Wei felt that his older brother wasn't cold anymore. Well, he was standing next to his older brother and didn't feel cold at all.
“I think your 21-inch TV is great. A bigger one wouldn’t fit in the house, and a small black and white TV just doesn’t feel right. After thinking it over, I still think your 21-inch color TV is the best. I’ll go back and discuss it with your Uncle Fugui to finalize the size.”
He kept looking at Bai Lu in the room, and in those usually cold eyes, there was a brilliance he had never seen before.
The money was ready, but there were no large appliance stores in the city that sold televisions; you had to go to the South Market to find them.
Bai Lu immediately replied, "The shop's renovation is nearing completion on Chengnan Road, and it will open in three days."
Perhaps it was because I had been holding back too much that the tears welled up in my eyes, softening the long-standing low mood.
"If Aunt Wu and Uncle Fugui want to see, they can go to the shops in the city tomorrow. If they see something they like, they can buy it directly without waiting for the shops to open."
This was the first time Xiao Wei had seen his older brother lost in thought. He had been inside for quite a while, but his older brother hadn't even noticed.
“He went out to do business and came back to buy such nice things for the family. He must have been worried that you were bored at home. He thinks about you and loves you.”
Xiao Cheng watched the girl in the room skillfully changing channels with the remote control and introducing the TV with witty remarks, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Xiao Cheng smiled.
Now that she knows her neighbor sells televisions, Wen Xiuyun's waning feelings instantly resurfaced.
Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui had been selling fruit for many years and had some savings. Even though they had bought land and built a house in town, they still had some money left.
"yes."
It wasn't until after dinner, washing the dishes, taking a shower, and hanging up the laundry that everyone sat together in the main house to watch TV, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, that Bailu realized nothing had changed.
The incident started when Xiao Wei, still extremely curious about television, launched into his "ten thousand whys" mode, to which Xiao Cheng only responded with a single word, "Hmm," and then the conversation fell silent.
Bai Lu was "honored" to receive the "100,000 Whys" and answered the little guy's questions fluently.
The awkward silence was just beginning to dissipate.
