Chapter 352 Can We Change It?
Even Simmons knows about it! In those days, spring beds were not yet well known to the public. Some customers came and asked if it was a mattress? Why was it so thick? The salesperson became more and more enthusiastic, and even Zong Yaozu's three children jumped around on the sofa without stopping them.
She smiled and said, "Yes, yes! Children are not suitable for sleeping on something too soft. We have a harder Simmons mattress here, a new model that has just been imported, which is just suitable for children to sleep on. Our boss also replaced this model for her daughter. I'll take you to have a look."
Tian Caihua scolded her sons because they were ignorant, and Zhou Chengxin reminded them, but they didn't take it seriously and after a while they went back to their old ways.
When Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei saw this, they spoke up to remind the children not to jump around.
The brothers quieted down.
My uncle and aunt’s words are more effective than those of my biological parents.
Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Zhou and followed the salesperson.
Li Xiuxian had heard of Simmons before, and she learned about it from her colleague who had an emerald bracelet passed down from her ancestors.
She also pulled Zhou Ying over.
The salesperson pointed to a mattress and said with a smile: "This Simmons mattress is the hardest in the store. It is suitable for children to sleep on. Our boss's daughter also sleeps on this mattress. You can try it. Although it is hard, it is also very comfortable."
Jiang Xia: "Zhou Zhou, lie down and try to see if it's comfortable."
Jiang Xia pressed it with his hand, then lay down to try it.
It feels quite comfortable to sleep on it. It's not soft, but a little hard. It's really comfortable.
In his previous life, Jiang Xia was used to sleeping on a mattress. After he came here, he slept on a hard bed. Sometimes he would feel his waist was stiff when he woke up.
This is especially obvious since I've been sleeping a lot recently.
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Zhou: "Are you feeling comfortable?"
"Comfortable! Even more comfortable than sleeping on straw!" Zhou Zhou lay on the bed, rolled around, and felt very comfortable. She had never slept on such a comfortable bed.
In the past, Zhou Zhou slept with his father and mother. In the winter, if Zhou Zhou wet the bed and the mattress was wet, and there was no way to change it, his father and mother would put a layer of straw on the bed board and then cover it with a bed sheet to use it as a mattress.
Many poor families do this.
Zhou Zhou remembered that sleeping on the straw pile was also very comfortable.
Children also love to play in straw piles in winter.
Jiang Xia smiled, she turned around and looked for Zhou Chenglei, asking him to try.
Zhou Ying took off her shoes and lay down on the bed to try it out. The two children rolled around on the bed!
Zhou Ying cheered, "Mom, this bed is so comfortable! I want to change my bed too!"
Li Xiuxian said unhappily: "I don't have money to buy it!"
She glanced at Jiang Xia.
She wanted to keep her daughter in the village and let her live with her grandparents like Zhou Zhou.
Jiang Xia turned around and called Zhou Chenglei: "Zhou Chenglei, come here and try this mattress."
Zhou Chenglei was carefully choosing the Simmons mattress for him and Jiang Xia to sleep on, pressing back and forth on the two mattresses.
When he heard Jiang Xia calling him, he walked over.
Jiang Xia: "How about you try this mattress? If you find it comfortable, then buy this mattress for all three beds in your home."
Zhou Chenglei reached out and pressed it: "You can have this bed for mom and dad. Let's get a softer one for ours. This one is too hard."
Not for her.
Jiang Xia has fair skin and is thin. She has beautiful butterfly bones, but she is too thin and has little flesh. She sleeps on her side too much, so when she gets up in the morning, there is a red mark on her shoulder blade where the skin was pressed by the bed board.
It's okay in the short term, but the red marks will turn into calluses over time.
Zhou Chenglei had seen it a few times and thought about changing to a softer bed.
Jiang Xia: "Sleeping on a soft bed for a long time can cause back pain, which is not good for the lumbar spine."
Zhou Chenglei shook his head: "Change to a softer one, this one is too hard."
Soft ones won’t work, and hard ones won’t work even more.
Now they sleep on a hard bed. Sometimes when he uses a little more force, her head hits the headboard. She always complains that the bed is too hard and it hurts her back.
So this time when he changed the bed, he planned to get a softer one, and one with a softer headboard as well.
The salesperson immediately said, "We have one that's moderately hard and soft. That one is very comfortable, very popular overseas, and the one that most people buy. It's the one on the bed you're interested in, and it sells very well overseas!"
The couple walked over again to try it out. Jiang Xia lay down and felt comfortable. He asked Zhou Chenglei, "So, this one?"
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei felt it carefully and found it was just the right hardness and softness.
The furniture for Zhou Zhou and his wife's room was selected, and Jiang Xia also picked out a bed for Zhou's father and mother, which was also European style, but the color was more mature and heavy.
I also want a matching wardrobe, dressing table, chest of drawers, and bedside table.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Then there are the bookcases and desks in the study.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei both bought large desks, large enough for two people to sit on.
For every book translated by Jiang Xia, a sample copy will be given to him after it is printed and published.
Jiang Xia will continue to translate in the future, so he bought a big bookcase, which fills up a whole wall according to the size of the wall.
Zhou Chenglei also has quite a few books, all of which are placed in the attic. Many of them were given to him by others, and some were issued by his workplace. They can be placed in the bookcase when the time comes.
All the books in the bookcase in her room at Jiang's house are good books. When Zhou Zhou is in the third grade and can recognize more words, Jiang Xia plans to bring the books back one by one for Zhou Zhou to read.
Kids nowadays aren’t competitive, and Jiang Xia doesn’t intend to force her to be competitive.
But still try to cultivate her interest in reading.
By the way, there are also interest classes. I have to see if Zhou Zhou wants to learn anything.
If she wants to learn, she has to find a teacher to teach her.
After all the bookcases were selected, Zhou Chenglei pulled Jiang Xia to the sofa and asked her to sit down: "Sit for a while. There is no rush for the remaining rooms. You can choose them later."
Jiang Xia sat down on the sofa and said to Zhou Chenglei, "Then go pick out the solid wooden beds for the two guest rooms, and don't buy any for the other rooms for now."
Wait until the baby is born to see whether it is a boy or a girl before buying it.
The styles of beds for boys and girls are definitely different.
"Um."
Zhou Chenglei did not plan to equip the guest room with a mattress, nor did he plan to buy a very good bed. He would just buy two cheap solid wooden beds and put them in the guest room so that his second brother and his wife and niece would have beds to sleep on when they came back to stay.
You don’t sleep in it every day, so you don’t need to buy something too good.
As for the other rooms, they will only be used when other relatives move into the new house and stay for a night or two. At that time, we can use bed boards to put together two beds, or we can buy a few solid wooden beds from the wood processing factory in town.
Zhou Chenglei picked out two of the cheapest solid wooden beds and only equipped them with a desk, a bedside table and a wardrobe.
Seeing that Zhou Chenglei had chosen such a good bed for the guest room, Tian Caihua couldn't help but say, "Why does a guest room need such a good bed? Just put two bed boards together and make one!"
Buying such a good bed, isn't it a bargain for Li Xiuxian? Tian Caihua felt a little jealous when she thought about it! Li Xiuxian also knew that the bed Zhou Chenglei put in the guest room was mostly for them and their husbands to use.
Although she chose the cheapest one, the cheapest one bought in this store was much better looking than the beds made by the wood processing factories in the town, and also much more expensive! She couldn't help but wonder: Can we change it? The two beds, wardrobes and desks they slept in the town were transported back to the guest room, and they usually slept in the village.
These two new beds and cabinets were delivered to their house in town?
