Because there were large and valuable items, the store also provided a delivery service and found a tricycle to load the items and deliver them.
The tricycle could still seat one more person after being loaded with goods, so Xu Manman asked Xu Jianguo to take the key and go back with the driver, while she and Jin Zichu followed behind and walked home.
When Xu Manman returned home, the refrigerator had already been placed in the kitchen, the color TV and sewing machine were placed in the small living room in the east wing of Xu Manman's house, and the master and Xu Jianguo were installing a washing machine in the public bathroom.
When it came to water inflow and outflow and electrical circuit issues, Jin Zichu rolled up his sleeves and went to help as soon as he entered the yard. However, these had been reserved when he first decorated the yard, so they were installed quickly.
After sending the master away, the three of them went into the east wing and started debugging the TV. This color TV looked no different from a black and white TV, and the antenna was directly on the head. There was no external remote control for changing channels, and they had to turn it directly on the TV. Even so, Xu Jianguo was very excited.
There was no TV at home, but some people had them, and he had gone to use them before. But today, his sister brought back a color TV with a color picture.
Jin Zichu adjusted the antenna, and as soon as the color picture came out, Xu Jianguo cheered immediately. Then he sat on the sofa and watched TV intently. He found everything interesting.
Compared to the color TV, Xu Manman was more interested in the sewing machine. She didn't even need Jin Zichu's help. She set it up by herself, installed the needle and thread, and even took a piece of cloth to try it out.
In her previous life, her father was a tailor when he was young. As far as Xu Manman can remember, there has been a sewing machine at home, and she used to play with it when she was a child.
But when she grew up, her father left home to work in a coastal city, and the sewing machine at home was sealed up and no one used it. Now, Xu Manman feels particularly close to this familiar yet unfamiliar sewing machine.
Jin Zichu stood beside her and said, "How about making a cabinet so that we can store needles, thread and fabrics more conveniently and neatly?"
Xu Manman did not refuse. She really needed a storage cabinet. If these needles and threads were placed randomly, the house would easily become messy.
Besides, everyone is very familiar with Jin Zichu now, so she is not afraid of others knowing about asking him for help with such a small matter.
She looked at Xu Jianguo who was watching TV and said, "Let's put this TV in the main room. I go to bed early, and it won't be convenient for others to watch it here at night."
Xu Jianguo replied to his sister, "Sister, just put it here, no need to move it over there." This way it would be more convenient for his sister to watch TV.
Xu Manman didn't argue with her brother, but signaled Jin Zichu with her eyes.
Jin Zichu understood what the host meant and turned to persuade Xu Jianguo, "Jianguo, your sister often studies next to you. If you put the TV here, it will disturb her reading. It's better to put it in the main room. It's far away and won't disturb us.
Besides, uncles and aunts will be coming over after the New Year, so it will be convenient for everyone if we put it there."
After listening to this, Xu Jian thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stood up and worked with Jin Zichu to move the color TV back to the small living room in the main house.
Xu Manman in the east wing curled her lips, it was indeed Xiao Jin.
She herself had no interest in color TV. Moreover, if the TV was really placed here, everyone's nightlife would be enriched in the future, and her east wing would not be able to close so early. This would compress the time Xiao Jin spent with her, which was something Xiao Jin absolutely did not want to see.
Jin Zichu, who helped a lot today, naturally stayed for dinner. Although it was cooked by Xu Jianguo, he was also very happy.
Compared with his older brothers, Xu Jianguo was the youngest when he started learning cooking, but he was also the most talented. Although he was still far behind the master Xu Manman, and was still a little behind Jin Zichu, he was still a crushing force when facing Chen Ming and Xu Jianmin.
The ingredients for the family were prepared yesterday, and they went out again in the afternoon. Since they already had a refrigerator at home, they planned to buy some more.
"Don't take the fish. I think the meat is okay. Buy more. We can store it at home now. If you really want to eat fish, come and see me early tomorrow." Xu Manman had already spoken, so Xu Jianguo would not object, and Jin Zichu, who was eating for free, had even less objection.
Although there was no fish, a lot of other ingredients were bought, giving Xu Jianguo more room to play.
However, he had eaten too much meat at noon, and his sister asked him to eat something light, so he didn't make anything too complicated.
Stir-fried pork with peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded cabbage, pickled cabbage with vinegar, bean curd sheets with black fungus, a bowl of cucumber and preserved egg soup, and stewed rice will make it a complete meal.
