"Washing machine, this washing machine is really nice, where should we put it?"
Yang Yufen looked around the house.
"How about putting it in the hallway? I'll put an extra light out later, it'll be brighter that way, and the breeze in the yard will be more comfortable."
When her daughter-in-law said she wanted to demolish it, Yang Yufen didn't ask any questions. She moved the things in the corridor and the driver unloaded the washing machine and moved it into the yard.
"Mom, we don't need the light. Do we have any more power strips? I'd like to try out the washing machine first."
"I'll find it for you, I think I have it. Have you eaten? Why don't you eat first?"
Yang Yufen turned to find a power strip, but Qin Nian had no appetite. Looking at the washing machine, all the tests were normal, so where exactly was the problem?
“Niannian, do you think this power strip will work? Last time, a vendor was selling power strips cheaply. They looked pretty sturdy, so your Aunt Wang and I each bought one, thinking we might need them someday.”
"Okay, Mom, you go ahead with your work, I can handle things here myself."
Qin Nian took the power strip and plugged it in. Yang Yufen thought for a moment and went into the kitchen. How can a person not eat? It must be that the food is not to her liking. It's hot, so it's normal for people to be picky about food.
Yang Yufen took a bowl and scooped out flour, preparing to make hand-pulled noodles. She cracked two eggs into the flour and was just about to add water when the kitchen light suddenly flickered a few times and went out.
Hearing a commotion outside, Yang Yufen quickly went out.
Qin Nian quickly unplugged the wire, but before she could, the wiring in her house burned out.
"What happened? Are you alright? How come this power strip is so bad? It actually caught fire."
Yang Yufen glanced at the still-smoking power strip and kicked it in disgust.
Qin Nian was still holding the washing machine plug in her hand, looking a little dazed.
"That damned vendor, he's definitely selling fakes. The thread looks thick, but there's only a tiny bit inside."
Yang Yufen checked it, threw away the wire she had picked up, and thought about checking if the fuse of the circuit breaker had blown.
"Mom, I know where the problem lies. Thank you so much."
Yang Yufen was suddenly hugged by Qin Nian.
"What? As long as you're happy, Mom will find a fuse to change first."
"Mom, I'm here. I have something I need to confirm."
Qin Nian offered to help. Yang Yufen found the fuse, and Qin Nian stood on a stool to replace it and then turned on the switch.
The lights came on again.
Qin Nian unplugged the old washing machine, plugged in the new one, and pressed the switch. This time, the power strip worked fine.
Qin Nian pressed the start button on the washing machine, held her breath, watched the washing machine operate normally, gritted her teeth, went into the room, took out the bed sheets and duvet covers and put them in the washing machine.
Watching the washing machine spin normally, reaching the spin-dry stage, the whole process ended without any problems.
Qin Nian finally smiled; it turned out the problem really wasn't with the machine.
"Mom, I need to go out for a bit."
"Where are you going? Mom will take you. The tricycle that Xianjun brought back is faster than a bicycle, and it's less strenuous."
The dough has just been kneaded; it needs to rest for a while.
"I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Mom will take you."
Yang Yufen quickly started the car, Qin Nian closed the door and got in, and the two sped off to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"They're closing soon, what's in such a hurry?"
