But this price... is a bit too expensive, it's equivalent to He Tingjun's two or three months' salary.
If she didn't rely on He Tingjun, it would take her a whole year to save up her meager salary of only 28 yuan a month!
Yun Qiao hesitated. "Tingjun, a washing machine is fine, but isn't it a bit too expensive? We don't have any washing machine tickets. We need 26 industrial coupons alone. Can we save up enough?"
"Two hundred and sixty yuan is a bit expensive for a washing machine, but it's very useful. Once you use it, you'll find it's well worth it."
He Tingjun said, "As for the money and coupons, you don't have to worry. Before we got married, my mother gave me 1,500 yuan and dozens of industrial coupons to buy the betrothal gift of three jingles and one jingle. We only bought one jingle at the time, so we still had plenty of money left over. I still have a dozen or so industrial coupons. I'll find someone to collect the rest and pay them back later. It's not hard to get a dozen or so."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay, then buy it."
"You're right to think so. The purpose of making money is to spend it. Earning money without spending it is the same as not earning anything." He Tingjun said.
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing, "You are right."
It's good for a man to be reliable. If he meets an unreliable woman, he will save the money he earns and be reluctant to spend it. Who knows who will benefit from it in the future.
He Tingjun also smiled, raised the letter paper in his hand, and said, "Then I'll write him a reply and send him the money and the bill. I'll ask him to take the bill to the sales department of the washing machine factory and queue up first. The factory has just started mass production of washing machines, and the output is small. I think the queue alone will take a long time."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Tuo."
After dinner, He Tingjun hunched over his desk, pondering the wording for his reply to the telegram. Outside the window, the apple tree was blown all over the place by the violent wind. Yun Qiao watched, fearing that its fragile branches would be broken by the strong wind.
At night, the two slept in each other's arms. He Tingjun said, "It's probably going to rain tomorrow morning."
Yun Qiao had just worked up a sweat and was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger. She rested her head on He Tingjun's shoulder, closed her eyes and said, "Let it rain. It won't affect my work."
He Tingjun laughed in silence, kissed Yun Qiao twice on the forehead, and tightened his grip around her waist.
The strong wind blew all night long, and the next morning, it rained heavily just as He Tingjun had said.
In fact, because the temperature was too low, the raindrops were cold and turned into fine ice chips when they hit the ground.
The apple tree was hit by the merciless freezing rain, and the leaves fell to the ground.
Yun Qiao was only wearing a woolen coat. When he opened the door, he was blown by the cold wind. He decisively went back to the house and changed into a small cotton-padded jacket from last year.
The quilt inside was prepared by her mother Feng Juan, and was sewn stitch by stitch by Aunt Feng herself. It is thick and warm.
There was water on the ground, and He Tingjun was worried that Yun Qiao's shoes would get soaked, so he insisted on riding his bicycle to take her to the military uniform factory.
Yun Qiao was worried that it would delay his work and didn't want him to send him off, but she couldn't persuade He Tingjun and had no choice but to jump on the back of the bicycle.
She was wearing He Tingjun's Type 65 raincoat, which tightly wrapped around her slender body. When she left the office, even her hair didn't get wet.
He Tingjun sent her to the bathroom door, then turned and left. Before leaving, he told her, "Don't leave until you get off work at noon. Wait for me to pick you up."
Yun Qiao nodded and agreed: "Tuo."
After staying in the bathroom for a while, Gao Qian said enviously, "Newly married men are so considerate. For an old couple like us, even if it rains, let alone slashes from the sky, the old man in the family won't even offer a word of help."
