Chapter 326: Worry
Buying a refrigerator will make your life much more convenient and save you a lot of trouble.
In the summer, you can buy meat for many days at a time, so you don’t have to go to the market every day. If you can’t go one day, you won’t be able to eat meat.
There are also popsicles, which are too expensive to buy outside. With a refrigerator, you can go to the wholesale market and buy a batch of popsicles, and you can eat whatever you want.
The family went to the same shopping mall where they bought the washing machine and color TV.
After all, we are acquaintances, so the quality is guaranteed.
The washing machine was bought several years ago. There are many people in my family, and the children's clothes get dirty particularly easily.
In summer, I use it every day, and even in winter, I use it every two or three days.
But after so long, the washing machine is still working well without even any minor problems.
When the clerk saw Li Xu coming with his family again, he knew that big business was coming again.
Refrigerators at this time are not cheap either.
A 200ml refrigerator costs three thousand yuan.
The color is very beautiful, it is a kind of retro white.
Although the capacity cannot be compared with those refrigerators in the 21st century, it is already acceptable compared with those of the same era.
There are cold snow areas and frozen areas, as well as small compartments for drinks.
Ji Ziang has already started to dream: "Put the ice cream in this compartment, and put the meat in this compartment. Don't mix them together, otherwise the taste will be bad."
Li Xu and Zhang Kun were busy bargaining with the salesperson and had no time to pay attention to Ji Ziang.
Finally, the price was bargained down to two thousand seven hundred, and the salesperson promised to give a gift, so Li Xu agreed.
Looking at the money in her mother's hand, giving it away one by one, Ji Yuanyuan actually felt a little painful.
A refrigerator costs three thousand yuan now, and it will still cost three thousand yuan in twenty years.
Prices have increased dozens of times, but the prices of some electrical appliances have remained unchanged for decades.
After paying the money, Li Xu and Zhang Kun happily carried the refrigerator onto the tricycle.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were carrying various gift bowls and chopsticks at the back, and they were also very happy.
Only Ji Yuanyuan followed at the back with empty hands.
The family carried the refrigerator home, and the clerk reminded them that the refrigerator should not be powered on immediately after being brought home, and it is best to leave it alone for a day and a night.
After putting down the refrigerator, Li Xu and Zhang Kun went to the wholesale market and bought a box of popsicles.
Although the refrigerator cannot be used, the temperature outside is very low now, and the popsicles will not go bad even if they are left outdoors.
Zhang Kun had already bought most of the other New Year's goods.
The next day, Ji Ziang calculated the time.
It was finally ten o'clock, and the refrigerator had finally been sitting there for a day and a night.
He went around behind the fridge and plugged it in.
He opened the refrigerator door and placed his hand in the cold snow area.
After waiting for a long time, Ji Ziang shouted in disappointment: "Mom, why can't the refrigerator be used? It's not cold at all!"
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were cleaning the kitchen, while Zhang Kun and Ji Zixuan went to clean next door.
In the past, we would clean the house during the Little New Year, but now everyone is busy, so we move the cleaning time to before the New Year.
Hearing Ji Ziang's words, Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan came out of the kitchen.
Seeing what Ji Ziang had done, Li Xu almost laughed out loud: "Ji Ziang, are you itching for trouble again?"
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and took Ji Ziang's hand out of the refrigerator, then said, "You have to close the door, otherwise the cold air in the refrigerator will escape. And if you don't close the door, the refrigerator will easily break down!"
Ji Ziang said "oh" awkwardly.
Li Xu urged him: "Don't mess around with me, come in and help me with some work!"
Ji Ziang reluctantly followed Li Xu to the kitchen.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, he came out impatiently again.
Open the refrigerator door and reach inside.
His eyes suddenly lit up, "It's cold, it's cold!"
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan heard the sound and came out. Li Xu had only seen a refrigerator at Qin Junshan's place. Seeing this, she also tried to put her hand into the refrigerator, and it was indeed cool.
Ji Ziang had already run to the balcony and put all the popsicles on the balcony into the refrigerator.
Squatting in front of the refrigerator, Ji Ziang has already begun to imagine his happy life in the future.
It's so hot when I get home from school in the summer. If I could have a popsicle...
Wow, how happy!
…
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the couple planned to go home with their three children.
They still went back to Zhang Kun's hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year. As long as the old man is still alive, they always have to go home.
In the kitchen, the stove went out early in the morning. Zhang Kun closed the doors and windows, and finally looked at the refrigerator.
Li Xu urged him: "Forget it, just leave the refrigerator there, it won't use much electricity!"
Zhang Kun nodded and took a few people downstairs.
When I got home, Zhang Jun and Zhang Dali were killing chickens in the yard.
There was blood all over the ground and the chicken was still struggling on the ground.
The gurgling sound was full of misery.
Li Xu quickly covered Ji Yuanyuan's eyes and said, "Don't look, let's go inside!"
Seeing the children coming, Zhang Jun quickly moved to another position and used his body to block the chicken: "Brother and sister-in-law are back, the meal will be ready soon, you go into the house and warm up first!"
Li Xu quickly took Ji Yuanyuan into the house, and Ji Zixuan followed behind Li Xu and went in quickly.
Only Ji Ziang was quite interested in killing chickens. He was not afraid at all when he saw the blood all over the ground.
He tilted his head, trying to see more clearly.
Zhang Kun dragged her into the house in a bad mood: "You are so brave, you want to join in everything."
After entering the house, Ji Yuanyuan discovered that her grandparents had bought a TV.
It was also a color TV, but a little smaller than the one they had at home.
Wang Yueju hurriedly called them: "Hurry up and put on your slippers and get on the kang to warm up!"
Zhang Kun came in and was also shocked: "Where did the TV come from?"
Wang Yueju was also good at talking: "Xiaojun and Meiting bought it for us because they were afraid that we would be bored at home."
Hao Meiting was watching the child nearby, and upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law, who not only taught us how to grow greenhouse crops, but also arranged the sales of the greenhouses. We made some money this year, so of course we have to give it to you as a gift!"
Wang Yueju took the remote control and changed the channel.
She changed to one with cartoons and called out to her three children: "Come on, come on, watch cartoons with grandma."
Zhang Kun smiled, feeling a little sad.
Li Xu noticed something was wrong with Zhang Kun, reached out and held his hand, silently comforting him.
At night, a family of five squeezed on the kang in the west room.
Zhang Kun seemed to be worried and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Li Xu closed his eyes and patted Ji Yuanyuan's body gently.
Suddenly, Zhang Kun exhaled a breath of foul air.
Li Xu heard the voice and opened his eyes.
She turned over, with her back to Ji Yuanyuan, and reached out to grope and hold Zhang Kun's hand.
Zhang Kun held Li Xu's hand in the dark.
Li Xu whispered, "After the New Year, let's go back and buy a better washing machine for our parents!"
