Chapter 139 Watching TV
They have no intention of staying here. There are so many merchant ships coming and going on this island every day. To some extent, they should also learn English well so that they can be noticed.
Just like Chen Zhuyi, just because he has a good tongue, he has taken so many advantages!
"Do you have money? Or do you have tickets?" Niu Chenggong glanced at her and asked the question sharply.
If a person who has nothing dreams of buying a TV, isn’t that just dreaming?
They are all poor educated youth who came here to make ends meet. It’s not like their families have too much money to burn, so they came to help Chen Wantang realize his dream!
"I..." Of course, Chen Wantang had nothing, but just seeing that Chen Zhuyi lived a better life than her, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
Chen Zhuyi didn't bother to care about their little thoughts. Ye Xumei bought a lot of home appliances and even considered buying a sewing machine.
"You didn't take much money on this trip, and now you've spent so much. How are you going to live in the future?" Chen Zhuyi pulled Ye Xumei's fingers, said in a tough tone, and stuffed the money in his hand into her hand.
"I'm eating and drinking at home, do you still want to ask me for money?" Ye Xumei looked at her in astonishment, and returned the money she had stuffed into his hand: "It's a rare trip for me to the city, and the things there are not too expensive, so I thought of buying some for everyone, don't worry."
"How can it not be too expensive?" Chen Zhuyi was still a little persistent on this matter, his eyes sharp: "Given the relationship between us, we must calculate it clearly."
"Then starting from tomorrow, I will pay you all the rent and food money. Only in this way can we two achieve true peace." Ye Xumei knew Chen Zhuyi's weakness best. He spoke seriously with seriousness in his eyes.
Hearing her speak like this, Chen Zhuyi sighed helplessly: "You are obviously not well off yourself, so why bother?"
As a daughter abandoned by her father, Ye Xumei didn't bring much money when she came here. Now she has added a TV and other miscellaneous things. Who knows how she earned all this money.
She had just become an auxiliary police officer and it was not time for her salary to be paid yet.
"It's a rare trip for me, so I spent some money lavishly. I won't do that again in the future. If you want it, I'm not willing to buy it for you. And remember to give me the money for the toys."
Ye Xumei asked for it with a smile, clearly distinguishing between public and private matters.
Seeing her unwillingness to budge, Chen Zhuyi had no choice but to accept it, but he did not forget to remind her: "If you have any problems, come to me immediately."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you. When I went to the city this time, I found that some people were trying to sell things. Although the authorities have cracked down on speculation, the intensity is obviously much smaller." After Ye Xumei agreed, he explained in a low voice.
It is impossible for them to stay here forever, so at least they have to find a way to make more money to avoid being stuck when they want to leave in the future.
"You want to..." Chen Zhuyi didn't finish his words, but in his heart he was a little impressed by Ye Xumei's boldness.
If you think about doing business at this time, it won’t take long to catch up with the national trend. There is a saying in later generations that goes, if you stand on the wind, even a pig can fly!
"Shh, I just have an idea now. Let's discuss it later. It's not convenient with so many people watching us." Ye Xumei noticed someone coming and quickly made a gesture to keep quiet. He looked up as if nothing had happened and smiled awkwardly.
Huo Jinzhi came to check on the situation because he saw that the two of them were not busy directing everyone. Although they were smiling, their expressions were a little awkward, as if they were guilty of something.
Chen Zhuyi was relatively okay, but Ye Xumei could tell at a glance that he was someone who had never experienced much trouble, and the panic on his face was almost exposed.
"Let me ask, where are the TV, refrigerator and sewing machine placed?" Huo Jinzhi restrained his expression and asked calmly and cheerfully.
Even though he had just helped move a lot of things, he didn't look tired at all.
"Sewing machine... I don't really know how to use it." Chen Zhu laughed dryly. She could do some sewing and mending, but there were more things that she wasn't supposed to do.
If there were really large patches on the clothes, Uncle Wang and the others would go to Uncle Shen to question him, so Shen Zhu lived a relatively comfortable life. He just had to help with more housework and take care of Shen Wantang.
"I know how to use them. I see that you two girls have a lot of damaged clothes, so I'll help you alter them and make new clothes." Grandma Zhao immediately spoke up and took the matter under her purview, with a certainty in her words.
Potato's clothes were made by Grandma Zhao who worked day and night over the years. They are the perfect size and there are not many patches on them. He looks much more respectable than many other children's clothes.
"Okay, but there's one thing we must make clear up front: you're not allowed to work in the middle of the night. Once you're discovered, I won't let you use it." Chen Zhu nodded in agreement, but he didn't forget the three rules.
Old people like them are old and sometimes stubborn. If you don’t make the consequences more serious, there is no way to make them realize their mistakes.
"You take medicine and eat good food every day to maintain your health. If you get hurt, the loss will be huge!"
Grandpa Zhao didn't really want Grandma Zhao to do any work, but he couldn't suppress his wife's thoughts, so he nodded quickly to show his support for Shen Zhuyi.
"Okay, I'll always keep an eye on the old woman and won't allow her to do anything wrong!"
These words made Grandma Zhao raise her hand and punch Grandpa Zhao: "Old man, who is doing this?"
She looked somewhat dissatisfied, but happiness was slowly oozing out from her wrinkles.
Cheng Zhuoyue also came over at this time and arranged everything. The only thing left was to find someone to connect the wires.
"Your family has all these big items, including a refrigerator, a TV, and a sewing machine. I'm afraid the whole village is staring at you right now." Cheng Zhuoyue sighed with a sour tone.
He has worked on this island for so many years, but he still can't buy so many things at once. Ye Xumei really lives up to her good name and can be so cruel.
"Just keep an eye on it, who can snatch the things away?" Ye Xumei snorted and asked proudly, then glanced outside twice.
The villagers rushed to watch the fun, and several children couldn't contain their excitement and came in. Zhou Siwei was still bragging about what he had seen and heard, and the eyes of the little kids were full of envy.
"Does anyone want to come in and watch TV?" Ye Xumei smiled and waved, and everyone walked in without hesitation. The circuit for the TV was still there, and it was now plugged in and placed in the living room, which was just convenient for watching.
