Chapter 291: The Xie and Lu families compete



Lin Xiangyi had seen more advanced and clearer televisions in her previous life, so she was not so curious about the current televisions;

Shen Xiaolan was already curious. Just now, Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei brought the TV back and installed it in their house first.

The two sisters did not squeeze into the crowd and woke up happily. The two went back to carry them out and found this scene very funny.

Shen Xiaolan smiled and said to Lin Xiangyi: "Is this the first TV in the village? If it is installed, won't the villagers come to my house every day to watch TV?"

Lin Xiangyi reacted: "Don't tell me, it's really possible!"

Judging from the current situation, it can be seen that the villagers are very curious about TV and they will definitely come to my house to watch TV in the future.

"What are you going to do, Xiangyi?" Shen Xiaolan asked. She knew that Lin Xiangyi was a person with a strong sense of boundaries and probably wouldn't like to be disturbed by others.

"What can I do? Just come!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

She really didn't like being disturbed, but that was the way it was in the village. People were close to each other and visited each other at will. People who had no one visiting them were isolated.

Since she lives here, she has to adapt to the life here.

What's more, Mr. and Mrs. Xie like to be lively and they certainly welcome others to come to their house to watch TV.

The two elders had helped her and Xie Qingxiao so much, so naturally she wanted to give something back to them.

Shen Xiaolan was relieved when she saw that she didn't seem to be reluctant.

"Wow, someone came out!" Lin Xiangyi and Shen Xiaolan were talking when a noisy sound came from the main room again.

Lin Xiangyi and Shen Xiaolan carried the child in and saw the picture on TV. The picture was a bit rough, but much better than the black and white TV. It was the "Heroes of the East" introduced from Hong Kong.

In this small mountain village where even black and white televisions had never appeared, the appearance of color televisions was even more novel. Even though the language used was Cantonese, which no one could quite understand, it did not dampen their enthusiasm at all. They all stared at the small, square TV intently.

They had seen the Xie family buy a TV and came over to take a look out of curiosity, but now they were completely mesmerized by the TV and forgot they still had to work. Those who had stools sat down, and those who didn't had stools stood.

After a TV episode was over, they remembered that it was time for dinner and got up to go home reluctantly.

Later, some people who received the news that the Xie family had bought a TV and ran over to watch it saw everyone coming out and were disappointed to learn that they had already dispersed. They asked those who had watched TV about the situation.

When they heard that the TV was in color and the picture and sound were very clear, those who had not been able to watch it beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying that they would go and see it after dinner.

After talking about the TV, they mentioned that in addition to buying a TV, the Xie family also bought several refrigerators and freezers, which made everyone sigh.

It just so happened that the Lu family and He Dasao had just returned from selling braised food in the county town. They were tired after a day of work and they just wanted to get home as soon as possible to take a shower and go to bed.

Mother Lu was also like that. However, she was extremely sensitive to the affairs of the Xie family. When she heard the word "Xie family" vaguely in the villagers' voices, she immediately became alert and asked someone, "What happened to the Xie family?"

The news that the Lu family's business was doing very well during this period and that even the Xie family could not compare with them had spread throughout Longjing Village.

Who in the village doesn’t know that the Lu family is competing with the Xie family? Everyone was watching the show and wondering which of the two families would win.

The person caught by Lu's mother was none other than Feng Jie, who loved gossip.

When Fengjie turned her head, she saw that it was Lu's mother, and she immediately became excited.

How can you not read the gossip that is delivered to your door?

Sister Feng told Lu's mother all about the refrigerator, TV and freezer that the Xie family had bought.

The more Mother Lu listened, the uglier her expression became. She thought that since the Xie family had lost so much of their business to her, they should be at home with sad faces and gnashing their teeth in hatred. She didn't expect that they would still be in the mood to buy so many electrical appliances!

She had earned more money during this period than she had ever earned in her entire life. She was so happy that she couldn't feel happy anymore.

The money they earn during this period is not even enough to buy so many electrical appliances!

Sister Feng enjoyed the colorful expressions of Mother Lu, other members of the Lu family, and Sister He for a while before deliberately saying:

"Aunt Lu, I heard that you have made a lot of money in business recently, more than the Xie family. Now the Xie family has bought so many home appliances. When will your family buy a TV, refrigerator and freezer?"

The other villagers who didn't know what was going on thought that the Lu family was also going to buy home appliances, so their attention was drawn to them: "Auntie Lu, are you going to buy a TV, refrigerator, and freezer too?"

"Wow! It seems like doing business really does make money! How long have you been doing business? You can even buy a TV and a refrigerator!"

"Why can't I buy it? The Lu family's stewed food is better than the Xie family's. They said so themselves. The Xie family's business is not as good as ours!"

The Lu family and Mrs. He: “…” No matter how good their business is, it has only been a month since it started. How long has the Xie family been doing it?

However, the Lu family and Mrs. He will not go against their own words.

If they can’t afford home appliances, they can do other things!

Mother Lu curled her lips and said, "My family won't buy home appliances for the time being. Of course, we will build a house first when we make money. What's the point of living in a shabby house and using home appliances? Wouldn't it be more luxurious to buy a TV and a refrigerator after the house is built?"

Sister Feng rolled her eyes and asked cleverly, "So, Sister Lu, your family is going to build a house?"

Mother Lu raised her chin and said, "That's right!"

The rest of the Lu family remained silent. The house they lived in now was indeed very crowded, and they had no objection even if Mother Lu told outsiders that she wanted to build a house without consulting them first.

As for Lin Huihui, at her strong request, the money that belonged to her did not need to be turned over to Lu's mother, and she would not say anything.

As for He Dasao, she echoed Lu's mother and said, "That's right. Of course, we should build a house when we make money. That's what our family plans to do too! When I save enough money, I will build a house too!"

Although she and He Dashuan had separated from the village head's parents-in-law, they still lived under the same roof. Because she had made money from her business during this period, she was very proud in front of the village head's parents-in-law, and she made the village head's wife very angry every day.

When the villagers heard that both families wanted to build houses, they were all envious.

Is it really that profitable to do business? Then can they also learn from the Xie family and the Lu family to do business?

Many villagers were tempted and began to flatter and try to please the Lu family, trying to learn business tips from them.

The Lu family and He Dasao were flattered by the villagers and did not feel tired at all, as if they had really become successful people, sharing their business experience with the villagers in an unfathomable way...
