Chapter 447 Wedding Candy
447 Wedding Candy
After putting the beds and other furniture in place, the two couples went out again.
Because the furniture has been purchased, but the home appliances have not yet been purchased, I came to the big shopping mall to purchase large appliances.
Today's society is no longer the same as it was before. In the past, this kind of home appliances required tickets. Without tickets, you couldn't buy them even if you had money. They were extremely scarce.
In the early 1980s, the tickets were still valid, but from the mid-to-late 1980s onwards, they began to fade.
Qin Feng, who had just returned from the south, had said before that Shenzhen had cancelled all coupons as early as 1984, and all food, such as rice, oil, and bushels, were available for open purchase.
Simply put, as long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want. You don’t need tickets or anything like that. That’s enough!
Other places are not as fast, but after the rapid development in recent years, tickets are becoming less and less effective.
Maybe it's okay in small places, but it's actually rare in big cities and places like Beijing.
The same goes for buying these large appliances. All you need is money, no tickets or anything.
Because of this, it is indeed very convenient to purchase, and there are many styles here.
Compared to the washing machine we bought at the camp a few years ago, this one is much more advanced.
A washing machine is a must-have appliance and is used every day. Whether it is used to wash clothes or bed sheets, it has many uses.
So of course you have to choose good ones, which can greatly reduce the workload.
Shen Yiyi chose an imported washing machine. Although she supports domestically produced ones, at the moment, imported ones are indeed more convenient.
Chu Bing also chose this model because her parents use this washing machine, which is very easy to use and washes clothes very cleanly.
Of course, some clothes need to be washed by hand and cannot be washed in a machine.
After buying a washing machine, you also need to buy a refrigerator.
These are household appliances that we use in daily life. In the hot summer, when we buy fish and meat, we need them to keep them fresh.
If you want to make dumplings or wontons, you can make them and freeze them in the refrigerator when you have time. You can take them out and cook them whenever you want to eat them. It is very convenient.
In addition to washing machines and refrigerators, there are also water heaters. The water heaters of this era cannot be compared with those of later generations, but they are also quite convenient.
So I also plan to install a water heater at home.
In winter, you can go out to a bathhouse to take a bath, but when the weather is not so cold, you can take a bath at home. A water heater is really indispensable.
The two women were selecting these items, and the two men following them had no chance to interrupt. Of course, after they had chosen, they would ask them a few token questions: What do you think? Should we buy it?
Of course they have no objection, as long as they like it.
I just couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this rice is so soft and fragrant!
But Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing are not that overbearing.
There was no TV installed in the camp before, but now Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing each bought a large color TV.
With a big color TV, I can have one more entertainment in the future, right?
As for the big color TV, they were asked to choose between the two of them.
Qin Lie and Gu Yun had only moderate interest in washing machines and refrigerators. Of course, they knew they were useful and indispensable for a home, but when they were asked to choose a color TV, they really became interested and came to choose in person.
Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing let them choose, and finally they selected two large brand name color TVs!
A gas stove should also be provided.
The shop owner knew at a glance that we had just moved and asked if we wanted to buy an electric fan. The new batch of electric fans were all very useful.
But there is no need to buy electric fans. All the electric fans from the campsite are packed in the car and brought over.
But the car is filled with stuff!
Shen Yiyi took a look at that time and had no idea how Qin Lie and Gu Yun squeezed in. At least not a bit of space was wasted in the car!
What two good family men!
Worth a thumbs up!
The prices of these large appliances also made Qin Lie and Gu Yun gasp.
But their wives didn't take it seriously. They worked in unison and picked out the good and expensive things, including the big color TV they had chosen, and bought them with a wave of their hands.
Because these large appliances are all fixed-priced and there is no room for bargaining, I can only buy them this way.
But Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing didn't say anything, it was all expected.
These home appliances these days are extremely easy to use and durable. Once you buy them, you can use them for a long time without worrying about them breaking down.
It's all calculated.
The large appliances were also delivered and placed in the designated location as required. After inspection, no problems were found and the balance was paid successfully.
There wasn't much lacking in other small things. Qin Lie and Gu Yun also brought over the hot water kettle and other things...
So you really don’t need to buy these anymore.
If you need anything later, you can buy it later. I can’t think of anything for now.
At this point, all the necessities of life have been collected.
Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing looked around the house and felt that it was almost ready.
So Qin Lie and Gu Yun started installing the TV and other things, and then they drove to the Chu family to pick up the children.
Mother Chu smiled and said, "Is everything ready?"
"Well, it's been arranged. We'll be ready to move in this afternoon," said Chu Bing.
Shen Yiyi also nodded.
Since we don’t plan to host any banquets or set up tables, there’s no need for any sense of ceremony. We can just move in when the wedding is done!
When I brought the children over, Qin Lie and Gu Yun had already installed their own televisions and were able to find signals. The TV was playing Journey to the West, which would be played on loop for the next ten years.
Gu Yun and Chu Bing took Gu Xiaoxi back to watch their TV and other things.
Hengheng Fantuan also started looking around the house to see the furniture arranged in the house!
I wasn't very interested in desks, bookcases, tables and chairs, but I liked the bunk bed in the room very much. I took off my shoes and climbed up to take a look. It was obvious that I liked it very much!
In addition to the bunk bed, there is also the TV at home. I talked a lot with their father and said that they also want to change the channel in person.
Let the two brothers watch TV and choose channels, and Shen Yiyi took Qin Xiaoyan to clean the house again.
After scrubbing it clean, I laid out all the sheets and other things I had brought with me.
The quilt was delivered by mail, but I didn't need it in the hot summer. However, I stuffed the sheets and other things in the car and brought them here.
Everything was clean, and Qin Xiaoyan took them out and dried them again after she came over.
So after cleaning the new bed, new cabinets, etc., I put them in place.
Seeing that the house was almost cleaned, Shen Yiyi asked Qin Xiaoyan to go out and buy ten kilograms of wedding candy.
After putting the candies in the basket, she came to find Chu Bing. Chu Bing had no candies, but she didn't need to buy any more. Shen Yiyi gave her half of them equally.
Five kilograms per person is enough to share with neighbors.
The two of them brought their children over to give candies to the neighbors.
By the way, let’s get to know each other.
