In the 1980s, there was no pressure to buy a house, no mortgages, and no car loans, which were things that could make people feel suffocated.
The largest household expense every month is living expenses.
Even if you rent a house, the rent may only be a few dollars a month.
It ranges from two to six yuan.
As long as you have a formal job, you can basically live a good life. Some senior technicians can earn more than 90 or 100 yuan a month, and such families live even better.
They have a salary and not many places to spend big money. Plus, electrical appliances are the trend of the time. If someone buys one, the neighbors will definitely come to see it every day, which is very face-saving.
So it is quite common for people to rush to buy electrical appliances, even if they have to pay extra.
Most of the large appliances in Li Jinfeng's home are imported.
And it was all Lu Yuanyuan's credit. Sometimes it was the national team that gave him the qualification to compete abroad, and sometimes it was him who shamelessly exchanged Deutsche Marks for foreign exchange coupons, and then used the foreign exchange coupons to buy home appliances.
To this day, the refrigerator, TV, and washing machine in the house were all bought by him.
As for the first two, the refrigerator had been in the workshop of the Little Iceman production line for more than a year, and Li Jinfeng sent the TV to Mr. Lu because she felt that others had no privacy since they were at home every day, so she let a few elderly people use it to pass the time.
As for the washing machine, it was sent to the Friendship Store in September. Xiaobao went to help pick it up, and Li Jinfeng has not used it yet.
When Lu Jianguo heard that Li Jinfeng didn't look for Zhou Cheng, Da'an or Xiao Wu, he suddenly became curious about who she would look for.
"I think I forgot to tell you. Didn't I once help arrange a social gathering when I was working at the steel mill? It happened once, and it led to the revolutionary love between a couple, Wang Xingguo and Chen Qiuqiu."
Lu Jianguo: "I remember you mentioned them."
"Yes, at that time in the factory, Chen Qiuqiu and I ate together for a long time. Later, if I didn't bring my own food, she would take it to the boiler room, heat it up, and then send it to me in the factory committee office.
I had left the factory and we had lost contact. Who knew that Wang Xingguo would be in charge of the refrigerator production line? Originally there were three people in charge, but in the end, he was the only one left. Because of his contribution to the refrigerator, he was promoted to deputy factory director.
He also got me a title of key technician in the refrigerator project, which was actually just a nominal title. However, he said that the title would be retained for me and I would be paid every month.
I didn't feel comfortable asking for that salary, so I asked them to use it to work as apprentices in the factory, and for those comrades who had children at home who couldn't afford to send their children to school.
I was thinking, could I ask Comrade Wang Xingguo to get me a qualification ticket?"
The refrigerator project department actually sent a new refrigerator to Li Jinfeng, but Li Jinfeng gave it to Mr. Lu.
This summer, the old man has been using it.
Sister E said it is very useful. Food and other things will not go bad easily when put in the refrigerator. In addition, you can put some meat in the freezer. When relatives come, you don’t have to rush to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat.
In short, it is very convenient.
What Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo meant by saying this was that the old man liked refrigerators, and it was impossible for her to get the old man's attention.
Therefore, Wang Xingguo's place was probably the place where she was most likely to get the qualification ticket.
"Then give us a call and ask!" Li Jinfeng said.
Not long after the call was made, someone answered.
