"Auntie, does Qin Ran live here?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Li Lan nodded quickly, "Yes, Xiaoran, someone is looking for you."
Qin Ran asked in surprise, "Lin Dandan, why are you here?"
"I remembered you said you didn't want the old air conditioner at home and could replace it. I called you but you didn't answer, so I came here."
Qin Ran felt in his pocket and found that he had placed his phone on the sofa when he moved the fan before dinner.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you just now."
"Do you want to replace it? If you do, you can ask the master to take it away."
"Change it. Will the installer come soon?"
"I should come. I'll call later."
"It's okay, don't worry, as long as you can come."
Li Lan pulled Qin Ran back and said, "Let them go in first."
"The air conditioner that needs to be replaced is inside. I'll take you there."
Lin Dandan nodded slightly to Li Lan and followed Qin Ran into the house.
After looking at the styles, Lin Dandan made a phone call.
"Qin Ran, this air conditioner is quite old. It's only worth 150 yuan."
"It's so cheap?" Li Lan couldn't help but say, "When we first bought it, it was almost two thousand."
Lin Dandan was a little embarrassed. "Then I'll ask again and see if I can add some more."
Qin Jianyuan said, "No, change it."
Li Lan didn't really have to pay extra money, and she also understood that it would not be worth much if sold to a home appliance recycling company.
She had asked before, and the other party said fifty yuan, plus a kitchen knife.
One hundred and fifty is better than nothing, and it takes up space at home.
After confirming the replacement, the delivery driver began to dismantle.
Li Lan pulled her son aside and asked, "Do you know the little girl in the inner room?"
"Junior high school classmate."
Seeing his mother's expression change, Qin Ran quickly explained, "I haven't been in touch with her since high school.
I ran into her by chance today at the mall. She happened to be a salesperson, so I bought from her. She even gave me a special price, an extra discount.
"The girl is a nice person. But she also works, so she doesn't want to save that money."
Li Lan is a very traditional housewife and she is very frugal when necessary.
When I go shopping for groceries, I usually bargain, even if it’s just to save a few cents or round off the decimal.
Even if the family is already wealthy, it is still the same.
But he also has a kind and generous side.
Qin Ran smiled and replied, "I didn't ask for her commission."
Li Lan nodded and took out two bottles of Wanglaoji from the refrigerator.
"Dandan, right? Come, have a bottle of water. Master, I left yours here."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Are you and our Xiaoran classmates in junior high school?"
"Well, I haven't seen him for many years. I didn't expect to meet him today. I have to thank him for asking me to open the order."
"You're already working?"
"Right after I graduated, I found a job close to home."
"That's great. Do you plan on becoming a teacher?"
"I want to take the civil service exam."
"It's good to be a civil servant~"
"Ahem," Qin Ran coughed twice. "Mom, why are you asking so many questions? The water seems to be boiling."
"It will automatically jump out if it's turned on. Your classmates are here, but you don't treat them well. They are guests."
Lin Dandan quickly said, "It's okay, Auntie. Qin Ran is my client. I'll be leaving soon."
"Have you had dinner yet? Do you want something to eat?"
"I've eaten, Auntie, no need to bother."
Li Lan has a good impression of the polite Lin Dandan.
In fact, her original idea was to find a daughter-in-law like Lin Dandan.
She looks gentle and pretty, has a good personality, and is a local.
Qin Ran felt that his mother's eyes were not right, and he didn't want Lin Dandan to misunderstand.
"Don't you get off work at nine? Is it okay to come out halfway?"
"It's okay. I talked to the manager. The requirements aren't that strict."
Li Lan was surprised, "You're off work at nine? That's so late. What time do you go back to work?"
"Nine o'clock in the morning."
"Oh, you must be tired after working such a long day and standing all the time. Sit down for a while."
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired. I can sit and rest when there are no customers."
Qin Ran sighed, gave up, and went into the house to help the master move the outdoor unit.
"Phone, Xiaoran."
The installation masters finally arrived. They were a young couple and their accents didn't sound like locals.
The installation materials are free, the pipes are long enough, and there is no need for scaffolding.
However, since the air conditioner outdoor unit is outside, an additional high-altitude working fee of 80 yuan will be charged.
Seeing that the installer didn't even take safety measures, Qin Ran asked, "Aren't you going to fasten your seatbelt?"
"It's okay." The installer smiled and said, "We have insurance."
Qin Ran and his father stepped forward to lend a hand to prevent the installer from falling.
In fact, Qin Ran could lift it up with one hand, but Li Lan was there and he didn't want his mother to worry.
After placing the outdoor unit, you still need to vacuum it, which takes about twenty to thirty minutes.
Lin Dandan said goodbye, "Qin Ran, I've transferred the money to you. I'm leaving now."
Before Qin Ran could answer, Li Lan said, "It's almost nine o'clock. Do you still need to go back to the mall?"
"We have to go back. We still have to clean up together at night."
"Xiaoran, send them back."
"No, I came here on a donkey."
"We have to send it down there too. Be careful when it gets dark. Come visit us often in the future."
"Okay, thank you, auntie, goodbye, uncle."
"Drive slowly." Qin Jianyuan nodded and then pushed his son.
Before leaving, Qin Ran was stuffed with another bag of things.
Li Lan whispered, "There's food in there, give it to her later."
"Mom~"
"They made a special trip and gave you a discount. Shouldn't you give them something as a gift?"
"knew."
Qin Ran sent Lin Dandan downstairs and handed her the bag.
"Thank you for your help today. A little food is not much of a token of respect."
"Why are you so polite? We are old classmates." With only two people left, Lin Dandan was obviously much more relaxed.
"Take it, or I'll be scolded when I get back."
Lin Dandan couldn't help laughing, "Are you so afraid of your aunt?"
"I'm afraid she'll nag me."
"Auntie is very nice." Lin Dandan took the bag and said, "Thank you for me."
"be safe."
"Don't forget to collect the money."
"Thanks for your help, and that money was originally your commission."
"If you don't accept it, it will be my turn to be embarrassed."
"Just give me the 150 for the replacement, nothing else. By the way, do you need me to fill out any forms?"
"I've already taken pictures. I'll fix it when I get back. I'm leaving now. Thank you, old classmate, for taking care of my business."
Lin Dandan stopped pushing it back and accepted it openly.
"I'll come to you next time I buy home appliances."
"Don't! I hope I'll have passed the civil service exam by then."
"Then I wish you to pass the civil service exam soon."
"Thanks for your good wishes, I'll treat you to a meal if you pass the exam. I'm leaving now, bye."
Lin Dandan mounted the donkey and disappeared into the night.
