After Zhou Zhengting left, everyone turned their attention to the refrigerator in the kitchen.
Refrigerators are not yet popular, and people have only seen them on TV.
As soon as I opened it, cold air came out.
"I heard that if you put leftover food in the refrigerator, it won't go bad for several months. Is this true?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and explained, "You are talking about the frozen food above. It can indeed be kept for several months if it is frozen, but it is usually kept in the refrigerator below, and it can only be kept for a few days at most."
As she spoke, Jiang Qingyue opened the refrigerator for everyone to see.
Refrigerators at this time were different from those decades later.
There isn't that much space, and the freezer is only a small space at the top.
The one below is refrigerated and slightly larger.
But it was enough for their family of four.
The weather in the South Island is hot and humid, and sometimes if you don’t eat all the meat you buy on the same day, it will go bad the next day.
Most people buy a little each time they eat. During festivals, if they buy too much, they will cook it all at once and chill it with cold water.
Even so, it won't last long.
So it was very difficult to eat fresh meat on the island in the past.
It is common to have diarrhea after eating something bad.
Now, seeing the refrigerator in Jiang Qingyue's house, many people are tempted.
You don't have to watch color TV. You're used to watching black and white and it doesn't seem that bad anyway.
You can also wash clothes by hand. If you are afraid of dripping, just wring them a few more times. Anyway, the thing that is most in abundance on this island is sunshine.
But this refrigerator is indeed a necessity.
So, everyone present asked about the price of Jiang Qingyue's refrigerator.
I heard that a refrigerator costs two hundred and eighty yuan.
For a moment, they all began to think about giving up.
But when I heard someone say that the same refrigerator in the city costs more than 400 yuan, and I have to queue up and buy it with a ticket.
Then they all jumped for joy.
"Comrade Jiang, how did you transport so many things back before? Can you help ask if there is any way to bring them back for us when the time comes?"
"Yes, we also want to buy a refrigerator so that we don't have to worry about getting a stomachache. But Guangzhou is so far away, and we can't go there."
Just at this moment Zhou Zhengting had already hung up the sheets and walked in from outside.
Seeing that everyone was surrounding Jiang Qingyue to ask about buying a refrigerator, he said, "I'll ask for everyone later. There should be personnel from our army coming back from there. I'll ask if we can ship them back with us."
After hearing what Zhou Zhengting said, everyone expressed their gratitude profusely.
Having seen everything, no one wanted to stay any longer.
They said goodbye and prepared to go home to raise money.
Seeing that Zhou Zhengting was really patient enough to call and ask, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think you really seem to have changed."
After Zhou Zhengting hung up the phone, he curled his lips slightly and asked, "What's different?"
Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment, then said, "I remember that you used to hate dealing with these trivial household matters. Every time someone came to visit our house, you would hide away. Maybe you are more approachable now?"
Hearing her say this, Zhou Zhengting really thought about it seriously.
Then he smiled helplessly, "Now that you put it that way, it really is true."
"Ever since you and the child came to the island to accompany me, I feel that life has become more and more comfortable. Those things that I didn't care about before are now slowly becoming important to me. Besides, I think they are quite enthusiastic about you and the child. We all live in the same compound, so it's only a small favor to help them."
While Zhou Zhengting was speaking, Jiang Qingyue kept looking at him.
I feel that in just over a year, Zhou Zhengting has indeed been changing and becoming more mature and stable.
In terms of temperament, he has changed from being aloof and taciturn to being a proper husband and father.
......
Ever since Zhou Zhengting and Jiang Qingyue returned to the island.
These days, there has been almost a constant stream of people coming to visit.
Some came to look at electrical appliances, and some came to see Jiang Qingyue’s curly hair.
Others just come over to visit and chat.
However, there are also some people who come here with the purpose of inquiring about Zhou Zhengting's promotion.
Although it has been finalized, it has not yet been officially announced to the public.
So Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Zhengting both kept their mouths shut and refused to talk about it.
Even so, many people already knew that Zhou Zhengting was going to be promoted to team leader.
So come here early to get close to her.
But this is human nature, and their behavior is not out of the ordinary, so it is not annoying.
But Jiang Qingyue felt miserable when so many people came.
After a whole day's work, I finally get home and have a chance to rest.
But I have to deal with so many people.
Even the time she had to take her two children for a walk on the beach was taken up.
Fortunately, this kind of life only lasted for a few days.
Because a commendation meeting was held in the army soon.
On this day, the courtyard was decorated early in the morning with a new look and a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Even Xiao Zhao was amazed and said that even the Chinese New Year was just like this.
Jiang Qingyue went to Nanfanyuan early.
Before leaving, she reminded Zhou Zhengting, "I have something to do in the hospital today, so I have to go there early. You can take the child there! I will come back to pick him up in the evening."
Zhou Zhengting couldn't hide his surprise, "Wife, you're not coming back at noon?"
Jiang Qingyue pretended not to know, "Come back at noon? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Zhengting pursed his lips slightly sadly, "Today is my commendation meeting."
Jiang Qingyue said with a groan, and pulled the corner of her mouth, "I'm sorry, I have an emergency in the hospital today, I'm afraid I can't make it back, what should I do?"
Zhou Zhengting was silent for a moment, then said with disappointment, "Well, then, go do your thing first."
Jiang Qingyue hummed, stood up and winked at the two children.
Then he went out.
Jiang Qingyue caught the bus to Nanfanyuan just in time. When she got there, the other people had not arrived yet.
When the team members entered the laboratory one after another, they saw Jiang Qingyue had been busy for quite some time.
I couldn't help but wonder, "Jiang Jie, when did you come today? How come you have already finished so much?"
Jiang Qingyue kept moving her hands, with a smile on her lips, "I have to take a leave at noon, so I came here early to work this morning."
Su Ling said meaningfully, "If I remember correctly, today is the commendation meeting for Captain Zhou, right? After today, you will be the wife of the regiment commander."
Jiang Qingyue raised her head and smiled, "Hey, how did you know this? Did Xiao Zhao tell you? Tell the truth."
Su Ling lowered her head in embarrassment. "No, it was Hu Changying who said that. I ran into her downstairs when I came to work just now. She said she wanted to take a leave at noon to go to your place as well."
Jiang Qingyue suddenly realized and smiled, "Looks like I can get a ride at noon."
