Zhou Suisui planned to make two sets of clothes to wear. She had never had to do heavy work in the fields, so she had a lot of skirts in her wardrobe.
But I don’t have a sewing machine at home, unlike back home where it’s more convenient to do anything.
I can't always go to Sister Shuzhen's house to borrow a sewing machine. It would be embarrassing. It's okay once or twice.
So I plan to buy one when I turn one year old.
Anyway, I have enough money, and it only costs more than 200 yuan to buy one, and it can be used for a long time.
It will take several years before the college entrance examination is resumed. We can't keep dealing with it like this for the next few years.
I came to the city on my birthday and saw these big items being sold on the third floor of a department store.
There were bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and even televisions and refrigerators for sale.
However, the TV was only black and white. I remember that color TV was not available until the 1970s, and it is not yet available in China.
Zhou Suisui was also very attracted by the refrigerator. With a refrigerator, many things, especially meat, could be stored openly.
This saves her from having to use the space secretly.
I asked the price when I was young, and it was three thousand yuan, imported from other countries.
My goodness, it’s really not cheap. Three thousand yuan in the 1960s and 1970s is not a small amount in this era when the average salary is only 30 or 40 yuan.
But it’s not something you can’t afford for your age.
The sewing machine is two hundred and thirty-five yuan.
Zhou Suisui plans to buy both, for a total of 3,235 yuan.
Zhou Suisui bought them all with a wave of his hand, which made the salesperson very happy.
Just the refrigerator alone accounted for almost all of her annual sales.
Getting electricity is not a problem. Just ask the staff at the family compound to connect some wires and an electric meter.
From then on, their family paid the electricity bill every month.
"Can you help me deliver it?"
"What's the address?"
"Military District Family Compound." There is only one military district nearby.
The salesperson nodded and said, "Sure. We have a truck that delivers to the military. Just write down the specific address."
"OK."
After buying the birthday gifts, I continued shopping and bought some notebooks, pencils, erasers and other things for my three children.
It is quite expensive for them to go to school now, but next spring, the third child will also have to go to school.
Moreover, it seems that when the eldest and second child were young, they often lost their pencils and erasers when they were in school, and they didn’t know where they went.
I didn’t think it was a big deal when I was little, but now that I’m a mother, I’m really angry when I encounter such things.
But Zhou Suisui doesn’t want to say much about them. Kids are like that. They may not even notice it themselves throughout the day.
It will be fine when you grow up a little.
Zhou Suisui saw a butcher and bought two more pounds of meat. It is much more convenient to eat meat in the military area than in his hometown.
Zhou Sui Sui also bought two kilograms of peaches. This was the first time Zhou Sui Sui saw them for sale since he came here, so he just tried some for fun.
Zhou Suisui had given them peaches before, but they were from his own space.
After buying things, Zhou Suisui took the bus back.
She had just arrived home when the delivery truck came over, and it came quite quickly.
Two men came and helped Zhou Suisui move the refrigerator and sewing machine.
Zhou Suisui directed them to move to their location inside the house, and then they left.
Zhou Suisui went out again to find the person in charge of the family compound to install the electrical wires.
"Oh, your family bought a refrigerator. It's a valuable thing." said Liu Jing, the wife of Political Commissar Li.
She is the women's director of the family compound and is also in charge.
"Yes, it's more convenient to buy a refrigerator. Things you buy in summer will easily go bad." Zhou Suisui said.
"Okay, that's good. Just remember to pay your electricity bill every month, otherwise your power will be automatically cut off." Liu Jing reminded.
"Okay, I understand Aunt Jing."
Many people in the housing estate saw Zhou Suisui buying a refrigerator and a sewing machine.
Everyone is talking about Zhou Suisui's lavish spending and his ability to spend money.
However, most people are still envious, because they all know that Zhou Suisui can make money, he has money and can afford it, so others can only envy him and there is nothing to say.
After the refrigerator was powered on, Zhou Suisui put some vegetables and meat into it.
Although this refrigerator is indeed far inferior to those in later generations and is a bit smaller.
But generally speaking it's pretty good, at least it's better than nothing.
I also have a sewing machine, so I can finally do whatever I want.
I am very happy to spend this money.
Wang Shuzhen and Zhang Xiuxiang also heard about it and came to Zhou Suisui's house to see the refrigerator.
"Sister Suisui, this is the first time I've seen this refrigerator. I've only heard of it before. It can freeze things, but it's very expensive. I go to department stores only a few times, let alone look at these big items." Wang Shuzhen said.
"Yes, yes, even if you see it, you can't touch it unless you buy it. This is my first time touching it." Zhang Xiuxiang said.
"Don't say anything, sisters-in-law. I just want to make it convenient to buy vegetables and meat. In summer, if you cook some dishes and can't finish them, they will go bad, which is a pity. Buying one can last for a long time." Zhou Sui Sui cut an apple for them to eat.
"Your family still has endless food to eat. Your cooking skills are so good that we can't even learn from you." Wang Shuzhen said with a smile.
"My sisters-in-law are all very good at cooking. That's what I'm saying."
A few people were chatting and laughing when suddenly a postman came outside.
"Zhou Sui Sui, right? Here's your letter."
"Thank you." Zhou Suisui took it and went back to the house to open it. He saw that it was sent from his hometown.
Wang Shuzhen and Zhang Xiuxiang said immediately, "Okay, we should go home and cook for them. You can go do your thing first."
After the two people left, Zhou Suisui sat down and read the letter carefully.
The letter said that Gu Lan was going to get a divorce?
Zhou Suisui was shocked.
Even with Gu Lan's demeanor of being a slave at her husband's house and being so arrogant at her own family, she still managed to get a divorce.
This is really not easy, so Zhao Jianguo must have done something that violated the laws of heaven.
Zhou Suisui continued reading, and sure enough, the letter said that Zhao Jianguo had cheated on his wife, and Gu Lan knew about it.
Zhou Suisui seemed to have seen Zhao Jianguo's cheating before.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Truth will come to light sooner or later.
Zhou Suisui was not surprised, but what surprised her was that Gu Lan was willing to divorce Zhao Jianguo.
This letter was written by Gu He. In fact, Gu Lan's original words were to ask her younger brother Gu Jingheng to go back and support her.
Gu He didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Lan and just briefly talked about the matter.
At the end, Gu He also asked them if they were living well here.
This is my sister. A sister like Gu Lan is simply ridiculous.
If there is something wrong, he will come back to ask for help. If there is nothing wrong, he will not say a word.
As soon as he gets home he shows off.
I don’t know if Gu He can still laugh now, but Zhou Suisui seems to be gloating.
