"Auntie, you're a thrifty person. The washing machine your daughter-in-law bought is the best one in our department store. After washing, you don't need to wring the clothes by hand. Just take them out and put them here to spin dry. Even when it's cold, you don't have to worry about clothes not drying for days."
"It can even spin dry, that's amazing! No doubt about it, my daughter-in-law is the best at picking things."
Qin Nian listened from the side, very happy that her mother-in-law liked the things she bought and appreciated them, instead of being criticized for wasting money.
"Mom, there's also the TV. The antenna has been installed and tested."
The two installers, one for the washing machine and the other for the television, were there, so the eldest son didn't have to worry about the bamboo poles at home.
"We already have a radio at home, but the two kids prefer watching TV. There's a news program at 7 pm, which is great because it lets us know what major events are happening in our country. If I had known it was going to be a TV, I would have gotten a cabinet for it. Is this too low?"
Yang Yufen looked at the height at which the television was placed.
"It's not too tall, it's just right to look at while sitting on a stool. I forgot to buy a sofa, Mom. Let's go buy a sofa and have it delivered tomorrow. It's the child's birthday today, so let's go out to eat. You've worked so hard for over a year, so I'll take you and the child to buy some clothes."
"Good, good, good, I'm so lucky to have a daughter-in-law. Who says a daughter-in-law is not as good as a daughter? She's my sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
"Absolutely, I'm so envious. Why didn't I have a daughter back then?"
Aunt Wang joined in the fun.
"Xiao Fang is good too. She has a good education, knows how to raise children, and is considerate to you in daily life."
"That's right."
The two began to compliment each other.
"But we don't need to buy a sofa. We've already spent a lot of money on these. We can sit on a stool. Mom can make one out of bamboo. In the summer, it can be used as a bamboo bed, and when it's cold, we can put a cushion on it and sit on it. Let's not waste that money."
Yang Yufen quickly began to offer advice.
I don't mind my daughter-in-law spending money, but I'll skip unnecessary expenses. I still need to be frugal when raising children.
"Listen to Mom, didn't we say we were taking the kids shopping for clothes? Let's get ready and head out early."
"Oh well."
Qin Nian nodded slightly.
"Alright, you're heading out now. I'll bring Yao Yao to your house to watch TV later."
Aunt Wang waved her hand and led Yao Yao home.
"good."
Yang Yufen saw the person out.
"Mom, let's go, I've brought all the money."
"Is the money enough? Mom still has some money on her."
"Don't worry, Mom. I've saved up quite a bit of salary and bonuses over the years, and my salary has increased again."
"Okay, okay, then we'll take a tricycle, that'll be more convenient."
Yang Yufen pushed the tricycle out, and Da Bao and Er Bao happily climbed into the back of the tricycle.
"Mom, hurry!"
"Mom, hurry!"
The two children waved and eagerly invited Qin Nian to get in the car.
The family of four went out happily. Hu Zhenghao, who had finally finished his homework, ran out and saw the closed gate. He almost cried.
