Chapter 337 Everything is ready, pick up Zhang's mother
Next door was a store that sold bedding, including mattresses. Zhang Wanwan went in and found herself several thousand dollars short of money.
After buying these, the two ran to the home appliance mall. The mall selling home appliances in the town was extremely simple, but fortunately it had everything it needed, and the prices were within the acceptable range for residents. A washing machine cost more than 800 yuan, an electric water heater cost 1,200 yuan, and there was a promotion on TV, so an LCD TV was only 999 yuan, which was several times larger than the old TV at home. Zhang Wanwan was afraid that her mother would be bored, so she simply bought one as well. The latest model of refrigerator was less than 1,000 yuan, so she also ordered one. In addition to these large items, she also bought small appliances such as induction cookers, and went to the supermarket to purchase some pots, pans, and so on.
After going out for a trip, she spent almost ten thousand yuan. At this moment, she suddenly felt fortunate that she did not pretend to be noble and push the one hundred thousand yuan away. With some money in her pocket, she felt more confident in what she said and did.
As soon as the two returned to the old house, they found that a delivery man had arrived. After that, they kept receiving deliveries. Before the bed deliveryman had finished installing the bed, the workers delivering water heaters and other household appliances also arrived.
At this time, Zhang Wanwan had to praise Li Zhijie again. When he connected the tap water, he reserved a faucet for the washing machine, and it was under the eaves outside the bathroom, so it was very convenient to take out the clothes directly after washing and hang them up.
Zhang Wanwan tried it and found that the washing machine was functioning normally. While everyone was installing the TV, she took out her newly bought four-piece set and put it in to wash. Then she took out the quilt core and pillow core to dry in the sun. She dried them in the middle of the day and put them away in the evening for use.
If she could do it before dark, she could just pick up Zhang's mother and spend the night with her.
The workers installed everything and tested it. After confirming that there were no problems, Zhang Wanwan signed for it. The group of people left immediately, and the house had a lot more things.
Li Zhijie helped Zhang Wanwan wipe the furniture, helped her hang up the quilt, and mopped the floor while Zhang Wanwan was packing up.
Zhang Wanwan came out and sighed, "Cousin, there are really not many good men like you nowadays! With your family-oriented nature, you will definitely be able to find a capable and virtuous wife in the future!"
"Thank you for your good wishes!" Li Zhijie grinned.
After they finished cleaning the house inside and out, Zhang Wanwan looked at the time and found that it was just past four in the afternoon. She ran over to touch the sheets and found that they were almost dry. As the sky got darker, the wind got stronger. This is how it is at the seaside. According to this situation, the sheets would probably be completely dry by dark.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanwan ran to Li Zhijie who was making tea with her and said, "Cousin, let's go back and get my mom over now."
Li Zhijie was so frightened that he almost threw the boiling hot teapot away. He asked with wide eyes, "Didn't you say you would stay at my house for one night? My mom is planning to make something delicious to treat you guys tonight!"
Zhang Wanwan was troubled when she heard this, "Why don't I eat at your house and come back later? If I live here, it will be more convenient for me to take care of her tomorrow morning. After all, my mother can't take care of herself now. If I live at your house, my uncle and aunt will have to get up early to work, which is not very convenient."
Li Zhijie didn't know the specific situation of Zhang's mother, but seeing that she really needed all-round care, he could only do as Zhang Wanwan said.
It was not yet completely dark when they returned to Li Zhijie's home. Zhang's mother had been moved to sit in the yard at some point. Lu Cui was cooking in the kitchen, and she would talk to Zhang's mother from time to time. In fact, it was just Lu Cui talking and Zhang's mother listening.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Lu Cui hurried out and asked, "Is everything done? Is there anything else you need?"
"Aunt!" Zhang Wanwan called out in a cute voice and replied crisply, "Everything is ready. I plan to take us back tonight. It will be more convenient for me to take care of her if she lives there."
"Why are you in such a hurry! Just stay here for one night and go back tomorrow!" Lu Cui said anxiously.
Zhang Wanwan could only explain it again.
Lu Cui looked at Zhang's mother, squatted down and asked, "Stay another night?"
Mother Zhang shook her head. She hated to trouble others the most. If the old house could be occupied, she would naturally want to move back. A nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse, and living anywhere else is not as comfortable as living in one's own home.
At this moment, Li Yongfu came back from outside on a motorcycle with a lot of things on it. Hearing that Zhang Wanwan was going to take her mother to live there in the evening, he asked a few questions. When he learned that everything was ready, he didn't say anything, but quietly prepared some seafood for Zhang Wanwan, "Take these things back, and decide how to prepare them for your mother. Give her some nourishment. Uncle will come to see you in two days."
"Okay!" Zhang Wanwan did not refuse Li Yongfu's kindness.
Li Yongfu smiled with satisfaction and said to Zhang's mother, "I told Meili that you came back here to recuperate. She said she would come over when she's done with her work, so she can spend some time with you."
Mother Zhang nodded with a smile. In fact, she could only be a listener now, and chatting with her was just a one-sided complaint.
At about seven o'clock, Li Meili really came, bringing a bunch of vegetables grown by herself, chickens and ducks raised by herself, and a lot of local chickens and duck eggs. She said they were for Zhang's mother to nourish her body, and she also gave some to Li Yongfu.
When she entered the room and saw Zhang's mother unable to take care of herself, Li Meili immediately howled, "Damn it! How could she be like this after getting sick?" Li Meili had gone to the hospital to see Zhang's mother once when she had surgery. Later, as her family was too busy, she could only call to ask after her and had never been there in person. Zhang's father always reported good news but not bad news, so she didn't know Zhang's mother's condition was so serious. She sat aside and began to wipe her tears.
When Lu Cui saw this, she punched her hard and winked at her. Li Meili then wiped away her tears and looked at Zhang's mother and Zhang Wanwan apologetically, "I just feel bad for a moment, don't take it to heart! Now that I'm here, it will be easy for me to visit you in the future. Just tell me if you need any help!"
Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently, but she had made up her mind not to trouble others. Li Meili was already busy at home, so how could she be asked to run back and forth again?
After Li Qingqing came back, everyone had dinner together and Li Yongfu rode his motorcycle to take Zhang's mother and Zhang Wanwan back to Xiqiao Village.
Li Yongfu carried Zhang's mother directly to the living room.
Zhang Wanwan ran to collect the dry sheets and went into the room to make the bed for Zhang's mother.
Li Yongfu walked around and saw that he had bought everything he needed. Then he said to Zhang Wanwan with relief, "Uncle will leave first if everything is ok. Remember to lock the door when you go to bed. Call me first if anything happens. Your dad is too far away. By the time he gets here, the flowers will be cold."
