Old Man Shen said cheerfully, "It's not too expensive. Jianlin and I picked the cheaper one, a domestically made one, about 800 yuan!"
"More than eight hundred?" Old Mrs. Shen was heartbroken when she heard that.
Eight hundred yuan was enough for a year's living expenses before. This old man didn't even discuss it with his family and bought this thing directly. What a shame!
The old man said it wasn’t too expensive. Has he become arrogant now that he has some money? He doesn’t even know how to write the word “thrifty”?
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but complain, "Are you crazy, old man? Why buy something that won't last you long? It won't last you long. We have made some money, but we're not extravagant enough to buy this kind of appliance. The kids still have to go to school, and when they grow up they have to build a house and get married. What can you do without spending money? Why did you have to buy this refrigerator?"
"I ask you, can I return it? Oh my God, eight hundred dollars is just wasted like that!" The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the more she felt pained.
Old man Shen retorted, "You old woman, you are really ignorant! Times are different now. There are more and more such appliances, and many families buy them if they have money. Don't look at them as expensive, but they are practical!"
Old Mrs. Shen frowned in dissatisfaction, "What's the use?!"
"This thing can be used after it is plugged in. Its greatest function is to freeze food in it so that it won't spoil for a long time. Old woman, aren't you worried that the bacon and fish you make will get moldy and spoil in the damp spring? Just throw them in the refrigerator and they will be fine until next year."
"Especially in the summer, food can easily go bad, but you can keep it in here for two or three days and it can still be eaten. You can also make popsicles for the kids. It's very useful anyway!"
Old Mrs. Shen, "..."
She hasn't used it yet, so even if she said that, she didn't think it would be of much use.
The four boys found it novel and were running around the refrigerator. It was really big, taller than an adult, and looked so impressive.
Shen Zhile was a curious baby. He reached out and opened the refrigerator. He saw that it was empty, compartment by compartment. He asked in surprise, "How do you use this?"
Shen Jianlin explained with a smile, "It needs to be plugged in. The upper layer is the refrigerator, and the lower layer is the freezer. I heard from the clerk that the temperature of the refrigerator is 0-4℃, and the freezer is -18℃. General leftovers are placed on the upper layer, and things that need to be stored for a long time are placed on the lower layer, and they will definitely not spoil. The temperature here is not low in winter, and it is so hot in summer, so it is still very useful to buy a refrigerator."
Shen Zhile said happily: "Wow, then in the summer we can really make popsicles, and we can also make iced fruits and iced juices!"
Then he looked at Fubao, "Sister, do you want to eat?"
Fu Bao grinned, "I want to eat."
She had never seen anything like this before, but it sounded great. Since Grandpa said that many families were buying it, it must be really practical, and Grandma had to accept this new thing.
Shen Zhile immediately said to Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, did you hear that? Fubao said he wanted to eat, so keep this refrigerator."
Old Mrs. Shen still felt that it was too expensive and hesitated whether to return it. Fubao rolled his eyes and said sweetly, "Grandma, with this refrigerator, our family can make money!"
"Ah?" The whole family looked at her at the same time.
