Chapter 234
Old Mrs. Chen wanted to show off from the front street to the back street, "Xiaoyi, my precious granddaughter, is this really bought for me?"
Old Mrs. Chen's lips began to tremble and her hands began to shake.
This has been her wish for many years.
"Well, one for you and one for my grandma's family."
"Of course, of course. Your grandma likes this thing too."
The little old lady was not like some other old ladies who would get unhappy if the child was close to their grandmother and tried to get in the way.
She saw how the Zhao family treated their children.
Old Mrs. Zhao, Li Chunfen, Li Yuni, Li Caixia and others just entered the kitchen.
That's what I heard.
Old Mrs. Zhao took a few quick steps, smiled, and asked loudly, "What else do I like?"
As soon as I entered the house, oh my god!
Old Mrs. Zhao was not much better off than Old Mrs. Chen. Her legs were weak and she was holding onto the edge of the kang, shaking her head repeatedly.
"I don't want this precious thing."
"How can I want such an expensive thing for my child? Save it for your dowry later."
This thing not only requires money, but also tickets. I heard that the tickets are worth thirty or forty yuan on the black market.
That’s about a hundred yuan.
Old Mrs. Zhao shook her head like a rattle.
Chen Qingyi's mouth twitched. She had heard this sentence a few years ago.
The entire panel was also given to her as a dowry.
The whole chopping block, I still say so, although a whole piece of wood is indeed very rare.
But she remembered that she was only six years old at that time.
When she gets married, she will buy a TV. Who would still listen to the radio?
"Grandma, this thing has new models every year. Maybe it won't be so rare in the future."
"I bought this with a lot of bonus money. It's just this once, I won't do it again."
"It's fun to have a radio at home. I can listen to more news from Beijing."
"You'll know everything new in the country, and maybe even hear the boss speak."
"You and my grandpa can still go out and show off."
Chen Qingyi's words touched Mrs. Zhao's heart, and she listened to the eldest brother's speech.
I’m so happy just thinking about it that I can’t sleep.
Chen Qingsong, Chen Qingbai, Chen Qingfeng and others also followed suit and gave all the money they earned in the black market to Chen Qingyi for safekeeping.
Put the family's money together.
Old Mrs. Zhao asked Zhao Caixia to go and find Old Man Zhao.
She still listens to the old man on important matters.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt looked at each other in bewilderment. They were frightened by their niece's strength.
It shook several times.
A sewing machine, three watches, two radios, and all this cloth, odds and ends.
It must have cost nearly seven hundred yuan in total.
This amount is enough to build several large tiled houses. They are really brave in spending money. They should not say that they don’t have the money.
Even if I have it, I can't bear to give it up.
It perfectly illustrates that how much money one earns determines one's spending power.
Old Mrs. Chen didn't refuse at all. She couldn't close her mouth and it stretched to the back of her head.
Holding the radio tightly, he said, "Xiao Feng, take out the batteries from your radio and put them here with me."
"Can you hear it clearly?"
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing that his eyes were not, and looked at Chen Qingyi, "My precious granddaughter.
What brand is this radio?
How much?
I don’t know anything, how can I blow my breasts out? This time I’m going to blow from the front street to the back street.
Spread it out to every household and know about it.
Especially the old Wu family, they dared to bully me this morning. Oh, I just remembered.
Xiaoyi, your bonus was earned by capturing her daughter-in-law."
Chen Qingyi smiled with her eyebrows curved: "This is the Red Lantern brand, produced in Shandong Province.
Eighty yuan."
This is something she carefully selected from her space. It looks good and the price is just right.
Nowadays, all radios except the Super Xiuzhen model are less than twenty yuan and are large.
Usually fifty to one hundred and twenty.
Divided into several tubes and several bands.
She chose a six-tube, two-band red light, which cost 80 yuan in the department store.
"This radio was produced for the general public so that workers, peasants and soldiers could hear the sounds of Beijing.
Good workmanship, beautiful appearance, stable performance, good signal, and looks very grand.
The shell is made of wood, with an aluminum strip inlaid on the front frame.
The frequency indication part is a whole strip of glass on the back, and the red lantern pattern will light up when the power is turned on.
It also shows the signal strength...
I fell in love with it at first sight.”
"I like it too." Old Mrs. Chen was very happy, she smiled so happily that her soul seemed to fly away, and her hands kept rubbing her beloved big baby.
He picked up another identical one and stuffed it directly into Old Lady Zhao's arms.
"Stop dawdling, kids, you all know what's going on. We're halfway down, time to enjoy ourselves."
Old Mrs. Zhao choked and rolled her eyes at her. What she said was really unpleasant.
But the radio in my arms is so cool!
He excitedly wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes, then touched it carefully.
After turning the switch a few times, I remembered that I hadn't put in the batteries. I looked up and smiled embarrassedly.
Zhao Xiangmei felt a little sour in her nose.
When Old Man Zhao came, Chen Qingfeng just turned up the volume on Old Lady Chen's station.
Old man Zhao was looking at these big items and even forgot to smoke his pipe.
These days, anyone with fifty dollars in savings would be happy to show off.
Now……
Old Man Zhao pondered for a moment, puffed on his pipe, and said, "Keep it. It's a token of the child's kindness."
I will hold a meeting when I get home and give some detailed instructions to the children of the eldest and second sons.
You have to keep these girls in your heart from now on.
We are always family, and we have to go when there is something going on.
Zhao Xiangmei blinked and smiled, "There's some good stuff too. Xiaoyi found some cloth that doesn't require a ticket today.
Do you want it?
If you want, I’ll give it to you.”
After saying that, he asked Chen Qingfeng to ride his bicycle to the west end of the village to find Zhao Xiangju.
"And your Third Aunt, call them all over, quietly!"
Shi Lanhua can't take advantage of this. Old Mrs. Chen cursed inwardly, holding the radio and pulling the cloth.
Old ladies can never resist fabric.
Everyone's eyes were shining.
"Pure white cotton is 25 cents a foot, and everything else is 42 cents. It's quite a bargain."
A few women were discussing how much they wanted, while Old Man Zhao and the others were looking at their watches.
The golden ring, hands and nails do not look too monotonous, except for the trademark.
There are only four big words: Shanghai Stock Exchange of China.
Silver dial, full steel engraved on the back cover.
Old Chen's house.
When Shi Lanhua came out to pour out the slop, she saw Chen Qingfeng coming on a bicycle.
He asked loudly, "What are you doing here? Aren't all these candied haws enough for you?"
You're not here to get some frozen pears, are you?"
Chen Qingfeng was too lazy to pay attention to her. Before he said a word, she had already imagined a lot of things.
"Hey, you little bastard, it seems your family has made a fortune, ugh..."
He turned his head, twisted his strong waist, and slammed the door back into his room.
There was a lot of arguing and quarreling, "Chen Changjiang, look at your good nephew.
I spoke to him, but he remained silent, as if he were deaf.
This is not yet developed.
If this gets published, even you, my dear uncle, won’t recognize me.
Hey, what's he doing next door? Is he here to eat something delicious?
Qingshu, Qingshu, come to your grandpa's house quickly.
Eat more of the good stuff."
"You are not allowed to go." Chen Changjiang suddenly sat up from the kang, his eyes as big as copper bells.
Ever since the cane was clamped and he was disliked by his parents, Chen Changjiang's worthless self-esteem has been deeply hurt.
He was determined to make something of himself.
He doesn't rely on anyone. Even if he can't do it, his children also have to succeed.
One day, all those who looked down on him will regret it.
Mrs. Chen and her friends
This is a radio that cost less than 20 yuan. The blogger said that he wrote a letter to his father to ask for help when he bought it. It cost less than 20 yuan, but he still had to ask his father. It shows how difficult it was at that time.
