Chapter 41 Water Heaters and Air Conditioners
During the weekend break, Xiao Laosan came over.
He took the money and handed it to Sang Feiwan, "Sister-in-law, this is my brother's salary for working on the construction site."
Xiao Beiming was cooking in the kitchen. The food was just ready and the aroma was fragrant. He put down the spatula in his hand and turned off the gas.
He walked out, frowned, looked at Xiao Lao San and asked, "How did you get the money? Did you do it?"
Xiao Laosan quickly said, "No, no, I know you are a soldier, and as your younger brother, I cannot bring shame upon you. From now on, I will only solve problems in a civilized manner."
"I originally wanted to call the police. The police also handle unpaid wages for migrant workers. But Jiang Dashan was fired, and I couldn't find him. But the new contractor on the construction site gave me your wages."
"One dollar a day, I want to do it."
"In the whole town where I'm from, there are few people who can make 90 yuan a month."
Xiao Laosan sighed endlessly.
From his tone, you can tell that he really wants to go to the construction site and move bricks.
Sang Feiwan ate a sliced apple and replied to Xiao Laosan, "Don't have any bad thoughts and study hard. If I find out that you're pretending to obey me but secretly skipping school to work as a bricklayer..."
Xiao Laosan was afraid that Sang Feiwan would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained, "How could that be possible? I didn't intend to skip school. And even if I wanted to move bricks during the day, the construction site wouldn't let me in."
"This is so strange. The foreman on the construction site said he won't hire anyone with the surname Xiao."
"I've heard of regional discrimination, but this is the first time I've heard of surname discrimination."
Sang Feiwan was silent for two seconds and replied, "Maybe he believes in fortune-telling."
Tang Yong doesn't even find a good excuse to do something.
Xiao Laosan nodded in sudden realization, "Sister-in-law is right. Many people believe in fortune-telling, and most people in our village do."
After being fooled, Sang Feiwan quickly went to Xiao Beiming and said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Xiao Beiming didn't even have the energy to think about whether there was anything unreasonable about this matter.
He is a wife-centric person and puts his wife first.
Hurry up and bring out the food and eat.
Xiao Laosan was also busy, serving rice with chopsticks, and was not idle.
After finishing his meal and washing the dishes, he would leave.
Before leaving, he said to Xiao Beiming, "Brother, you and your sister-in-law can pick and eat the vegetables I planted in my field when they grow up."
"I won't be able to take care of this dish for a while. I'll be very busy during this period."
"But don't worry, sister-in-law. I will study hard. I just went to find someone to learn how to cultivate endangered plants. I read in a book that an endangered orchid sells for an exorbitant price."
Originally, Xiao Laosan was planning to research the cultivation of seedless watermelons, and he just planted the vegetables along the way.
The vegetables grown can be eaten and sold for some money.
But recently, when he was borrowing books on biology and planting from the library, he saw an introduction to endangered and extinct plants.
He instantly decided to conduct research, grow endangered plants, and make money.
There is a golden house in books, and reading is the most useful thing. Our ancestors were right.
Seeing how motivated Xiao Laosan was, Sang Feiwan was pleased and stuffed another five dollars into his pocket.
Don't make his life too hard.
Xiao Laosan has never bought any clothes since he arrived here. The short-sleeved shirt he is wearing now was given to Xiao Laosan by Xiao Laoer's factory. It was patched and twisted like a rag.
Just like what happened to Xiao Lao San before, Sang Feiwan never thought of adding clothes to him.
Later, when she sent Xiao Laosan to school, she gave Xiao Lao thirty yuan to buy daily necessities, clothes and shoes. Unexpectedly, he was reluctant to spend a penny.
Xiao Laosan wanted to save every penny he had for Sang Feiwan, and was eager to make money for Sang Feiwan to spend. Naturally, he refused to take the money that Sang Feiwan pushed into his hand.
"Spend it yourself, sister-in-law. You're a big spender. I just need to have food to eat. I don't need to spend any money. I've already spent so much money from you and my brother. I can't be so ignorant and ask for more."
After saying that, he ran away.
Sang Feiwan asked Xiao Beiming to give the money to Xiao Laosan, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Xiao Beiming about to go out.
Sang Feiwan asked him, "Are we going out today? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm going out. I'm going out to buy some groceries."
"Oh, then I'll go with you. I can buy you and the third child some clothes, some test papers, and maybe a few more workbooks."
Xiao Beiming replied, "No need, you just rest at home and I'll buy it for you."
His words didn't sound natural.
Xiao Beiming is also a person who can't lie.
Sang Feiwan saw through him immediately and asked, "Tell me, are you planning to go find a job behind my back again?"
She likes shopping, and every time he has a weekend off, she almost always asks him to take her shopping.
Shopping is the only entertainment activity she likes in this world.
Xiao Beiming also knew that she liked shopping, so his refusal to take her with him was obviously a problem.
Seeing that Xiao Beiming was silent, Sang Fei went to him in the evening and pulled him to the desk in the bedroom, asking him to sit down and study.
"Hubby, I told you I don't need you to make money. I want you to get promoted. You should study hard and take the college entrance examination next year to get into a good university, okay?"
"Don't think about making money anymore. I'll get angry if you do."
"If you want to love me, please give me what I want, and don't give me what I don't want."
Seeing that Xiao Beiming frowned, looked sullen and refused to agree, Sang Feiwan pulled Xiao Beiming to sit down and sat on his lap.
Started to act like a spoiled brat.
At the same time, he was feeding Xiao Beiming some love potion.
She held Xiao Beiming's face with both hands and looked him in the eye. "If someone likes to eat strawberries, but you insist on giving her apples, she won't be happy."
"You're good at fighting and defending your country, but you're not good at making money. You force yourself to earn money by moving bricks, and you're working very hard. I feel bad for you, too."
"Please study hard and prepare for the college entrance exam, okay?"
What Sang Feiwan said could certainly convince Xiao Beiming, and he felt it made a lot of sense.
However, he was going to disappoint Sang Feiwan.
"But I'm not good at studying either. I can't even concentrate on Chinese, math, and English, which are required for the college entrance exam." Xiao Beiming said this in a dull voice.
Xiao Beiming was only interested in military books and could only read military books.
Sang Feiwan kissed him and said, "It's okay. I can help you."
“Let’s start with math.”
Sang Feiwan got off him, quickly moved a bench over and sat next to him.
Then he said to Xiao Beiming, "You have to study hard. If you master a question type after I teach you, I will give you a reward."
"Your future nightlife will depend on your quiz results today."
After Sang Feiwan said this, she suddenly felt very familiar.
Isn’t this the plot she wants to learn from those youth campus novels?
Sang Feiwan feels that modern novels are really great. They can kill time and also spread common sense.
For example, when it comes to sex, there is no innocent person who doesn’t understand it.
When she got here, she wanted to find a book for Xiao Beiming to learn from, but she couldn't find one.
This generation, which was conservative and committed to cracking down on pornography, gave birth to the largest number of people in the history of the country.
At this moment, a voice came from downstairs from a distance, "Captain Xiao's family, someone is coming to your house!"
This voice was the fat lady's loud and clear voice.
Sang Feiwan came back to her senses, walked to the window, and looked out. Many people had come to her house.
It was Tang Yong and Lu Ci who came with a tractor, pulling air conditioners and solar energy.
Because he was driving a large tractor with two unknown objects inside, people on the way to the family building were curious and followed him.
"What is this?"
"What did you say?! Can this produce cold air? Can this produce hot water?"
"Oh my goodness, it's so magical!"
There was a lot of noise in the yard. When Sang Feiwan came downstairs, she heard them talking.
There was a lot of buzzing discussion about new things, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
They were all amazed at the appearance and functions of air conditioners and solar energy. They looked at them from left to right, and some even touched them.
The air conditioner and solar energy that Sang Feiwan bought were the first to be used in the entire military region.
So this was the first time these people had seen these things.
Some even asked, "Where does the cold air come from? Where does the hot water come from?"
"Are you trying to fool us or make fun of us? How is this possible?"
The fat wife said, "Why would they lie to us! Liu Cuihua, you're the only one who brags, saying you can change the TV channel just by lying in bed, or that you're good friends with Captain Lu's wife, and that the commander's house has a lot of high-tech gadgets we haven't seen before."
Liu Cuihua blushed immediately, "How could I be bragging? I just heard it from Captain Lu's wife."
No one believed her and laughed at her.
Time travelers will inevitably have a sense of superiority and will talk about the future technology with those around them, feeling proud of it.
So Sang Feiwan believed Liu Cuihua because she had also mentioned seedless watermelon in an unconventional way.
The technology of the future is indeed something to be proud of.
Being able to live in the future and enjoy a good life with high-tech conveniences will also be a blessing for those who come after them.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop touching it, or you'll break it... Captain Xiao and his wife are coming down, please make way for them, these are their things." said the fat lady.
She went over to pull Sang Feiwan and said with a smile, "Captain Xiao's family, this thing of yours that can produce air conditioning and hot water, is it expensive?"
"If it's three or five hundred, I'll save up and buy one tomorrow."
"It's so hot here in the summer. I even had heat stroke this summer."
Sang Feiwan came here in mid-October, the hottest month, and she was not here.
But it's also hot.
If there were no air conditioning, she would definitely choose to go back to Xiao Beiming's hometown to escape the heat in the summer.
"These two things together cost more than 20,000 yuan. I've only heard of air conditioning and solar energy, but I've never used them. Sister Sang, please hurry up and let the master install them so I can feel them." Lu Ci said.
Sang Feiwan was just about to say it wasn't expensive and get away with it, but she didn't expect Lu Ci to speak faster than her.
The fat lady was stunned for a moment, and after a long while she sighed, "Oh my God, it's so expensive!"
