"Is that so?" Tian Tian felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She didn't know all these things and thought that all she needed was a pager.
But it's quite normal when you think about it. The current science and technology has not developed to the level of the future. Even if one is in China and the other is abroad, they can still receive a call. There must be a relay station similar to sending and receiving messages.
There is no news about building such a transfer station in their provincial capital yet, otherwise Gu Zhao would have told her just now.
Tian Tian felt extremely disappointed and sat aside not wanting to talk.
"Do you want a pager?" Gu Zhao saw Tian Tian's lost look and thought about what Tian Tian had just said. He realized that Tian Tian must have heard about this pager from somewhere and wanted to buy it, so she asked him about it.
Gu Zhao figured this out, and then looked at Tian Tian who remained silent. He felt a little amused and turned over to sit next to Tian Tian. "Do you want to buy that pager?"
Tian Tian nodded, "Otherwise I always can't receive calls. I heard that there are such machines in big cities, so I want to buy one. It's convenient, right? You can receive anyone who calls you."
Gu Zhao nodded, "It's quite convenient. When we have one here, I'll buy one for you!"
Tian Tian is still a little depressed. Who knows when it will happen?
"I've been thinking about it these days. We should buy some home appliances for our family. I didn't buy you a three-wheeler and a ring when you got married, and I thought I should make it up to you now." Gu Zhao coaxed Tian Tian softly.
Tian Tian was a little confused, "Didn't you buy these for me before?"
Although Gu Zhao did not buy her a radio when they got married, he gave her a radio and a watch when they were dating. Later, Tian Tian took the radio to school and kept it in the school office on weekdays. Gu Zhao then bought her a new radio.
Although they didn't buy a bicycle, they both worked in the same factory. Gu Zhao would usually send Tian Tian to school in the morning, and if she got off work early in the evening, she would also pick Tian Tian up.
When she got off work late, Tian Tian couldn't take the bicycle, because Gu Zhao still needed to use the bicycle to go home. The buses stopped running at night, so Tian Tian would take the bus home after work. Besides, Tian didn't know how to use things like sewing machines, so there was no use for her to buy them. They would just be a decoration.
She is not like when she was a girl, who would sew and mend clothes whenever she had time. She doesn't have time now, and to be honest, the clothes she makes are not very good. She doesn't have the skill to make clothes, she just has some ideas and thoughts.
In addition, Li Jiuniang is now also doing business as a clothing brand. He would send Tian Tian a few sets of clothes from time to time, including men's and women's clothes. Even if Tian Tian and Gu Zhao did not buy clothes, there would be enough clothes for them to wear.
"We haven't bought these yet, so we won't buy any more. Otherwise, it would be useless for me to buy so many watches and keep them at home. Besides, you don't have so many hands to wear watches, so you can't wear a bunch of watches on your arms!" Gu Zhao joked.
Tian Tian imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.
"Nowadays, washing machines and refrigerators seem to be quite useful. One is convenient for storing vegetables at home, and the other is for washing clothes without the need for both of us to do it. We must buy both of them, but now, I'm afraid we can only afford one. Do you want a refrigerator or a washing machine?" Gu Zhao asked.
After Gu Zhao finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and said, "Or maybe we can buy a TV. Otherwise, we'll be bored when we get home at night. Buying a TV and watching something can help kill some time!"
"Forget about the TV. We can just borrow some more books from the library later!" Tian Tian ruled out the TV first. There are only a few channels on TV nowadays, and it would be boring to play the same two channels over and over again. It would be better to buy some books to read.
Moreover, Tian Tian feels that the televisions released in a few years might be better than the ones now. The most important thing is that they can free your hands, and there will be washing machines and refrigerators that can store food.
Tian Tian doesn't want to get married and then do laundry every day.
"What should I do? I want both of them and can't choose. How about you make the decision?" Tian Tian suffered from her decision-making phobia. After struggling for a long time, she couldn't choose between the two. She felt that both were useful and she needed them, so she had to look at Gu Zhao pitifully, hoping that Gu Zhao would help her make the choice.
"Then let's buy a washing machine. We are both very busy at work and don't have much time to do laundry. As for a refrigerator, it's almost September this year and there are only a few warm days left. It will be winter in a while, so we can just leave the things outside and buy one next year!" said Gu Zhao.
Tian Tian was easily persuaded by Gu Zhao.
They actually discussed housework before they got married. They didn't want to be like most girls today, who think that all housework should be done by girls. Even though many of them have jobs, women still do more housework at home.
Tian Tian didn't want this to happen. Although she didn't think that she should not interfere in the housework at all, or that the housework must be divided in half, with each person doing more than half, it was not acceptable at all.
She felt that since the two of them were married, they must support each other, and the work at home could not be so rigid, with you doing half and I doing half, but they also had to support each other, so they discussed it in advance.
They can't live together for a period of time like before to make a transition and get to know each other's lives, so Tian Tian can only tell Gu Zhao before getting married that everyone has to do the housework together and can't put all the work on her alone.
If someone is busy during this period, the other party can take on more responsibility, but this is not something that can be taken for granted.
Gu Zhao also agreed. The housework at home was shared by the three of them. After getting married, it was naturally impossible to pile all the work on his wife.
Just after they got married, Lin Meiyu and her family came here, and Tiantian had to go to accompany Lin Meiyu, so there was no sign of it. But after Lin Meiyu left, Tian Tian was on vacation and didn't have to go to work, so she spent more time at home and had to take on more housework.
But to be honest, there is not much to do at home right now, because I just moved in and there are not many things in the house, so the biggest job every day is to mop the floor, sweep the floor, cook lunch, wash the dishes, and do some laundry, and then Gu Zhao comes back to eat in the evening.
Tian Tian doesn't have to cook in the morning and evening. Gu Zhao will buy food for her in the morning, and he will also bring food home after get off work in the evening.
Although Gu Zhao has been busy these days, he has not been lazy. He is not idle when he comes back at night. He still helps Tian Tian with some work to relieve her burden.
But these days, Tian Tian is still doing the work like washing clothes.
Who in the world likes to do housework? It's just that there's nothing we can do about it. If we don't do the chores, they'll just pile up there.
Having a washing machine can indeed be a lot more convenient. Even if the current washing machines are semi-automatic, you may still put the clothes in the spin dryer after washing, but that is still better than washing them by hand.
"Then let's buy a washing machine!" Tian Tian also thought that buying a washing machine was a good idea, and freeing up one's hands was also very important.
"Then let's go to the department store together this weekend to choose a washing machine!" Gu Zhao said with a smile.
Tian Tian nodded.
"Then let's set a small goal. We will buy a washing machine this year, a refrigerator next year, and a TV the year after. If we can use a pager here, we will buy you one. In the future, the two of us will live a down-to-earth life, and our lives will definitely get better and better!" Gu Zhao hugged Tian Tian and imagined the future.
Tian Tian also seemed to see the furniture being moved into the house bit by bit. The house, which was once decorated in a traditional style, became more and more modern, and a convenient life was also beckoning to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian immediately became happy and started to mutter to Gu Zhao about what should be placed in different places in the house and how she should decorate the house.
Gu Zhao listened patiently, and then said, "Okay, didn't you say you were going out to eat? Go change your clothes quickly. I've already booked a restaurant, and we can go get Tian Zhuo along with us!"
The two of them haven't had time for themselves for a while. Before, Tian Tian was busy, and later, Gu Zhao was busy. Today, Gu Zhao finally had a day off, so the two of them decided to go out for dinner in the evening.
They opened a foreign restaurant here, which was opened quite early. Ten years ago, all these restaurants were forced to close, but in recent years, the restaurants have been renovated one after another. The Western restaurant was just opened some time ago, and Tian Tian has always wanted to eat there.
It was just that they had agreed that two people would go over and eat together, but now there was one more person, Tian Zhuo. Tian Tian was not angry, after all, Tian Zhuo was her younger brother, and Gu Zhao did this actually from her perspective.
However, it has been a long time since the two of them went out to have a meal alone. Although they always stay together at home, eating out is a completely different feeling than eating at home.
