Grandma Du said in surprise: "Oh, it sounds really good."
Chenchen and Anan lay on the kang table, looking at the radio excitedly.
Su Xieqiu listened to the familiar melody and felt somewhat excited.
Before she switched with the original owner, she also liked listening to these classic old songs.
As a young person of the new era, I can’t appreciate those pop songs.
Classmates and colleagues all say that her taste is old-fashioned, similar to that of her parents' generation.
Now that I think about it, it turns out that all of this was destined.
She is really a person of this era, but she and the original owner exchanged identities by accident.
"Zhenyu's wife, this radio is really good. It must cost a lot of money, right?" Grandma Du asked.
"Grandma, I bought the cheap one, forty yuan." Su Xieqiu was afraid that she would feel bad, so he pulled Han Zhenyu out as a shield.
"Han Zhenyu said that you and grandpa have worked hard all your life. Now we have the conditions. Let me buy a radio. You and grandpa can listen to the radio when you are free and learn about national affairs."
When Grandma Du heard that it was bought for them, she complained distressedly, "You two kids who don't know how to manage a life, why did you buy this for us? And why did you spend so much money?"
"Grandma, isn't the purpose of earning money to be spent?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and pulled her arm, "Grandma, actually I wanted to listen to it too, but I was afraid that Han Zhenyu would not agree, so I told him to buy one for you and grandpa."
"You naughty little comrade, Zhenyu loves you so much, how could he not agree?"
Grandma Du patted her hands and said with a smile, "In the future, just tell Zhenyu what you want. If he doesn't agree, I will deal with that kid."
Su Xieqiu pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Grandpa Du didn’t come back until it was almost dark.
Xiang Guoqiang and Luo Jie were afraid of snow, so they called a few more people to help build the courtyard wall.
When Su Xieqiu came back from the city, he saw that everything had been almost cleaned up and it should be finished in the next two days.
"Grandpa, wash your hands with hot water. Let's eat." Su Xieqiu poured a basin of hot water for him to wash.
Grandpa Du walked into the warm main room and asked with a smile, "Zhenyu's wife, are you lighting the fire wall?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, I see that the weather is getting colder, so I lit up the stove and the fire wall in the afternoon."
Grandpa Du felt that it was a bit early to build the fire wall before it snowed.
But thinking about the two young children at home and Zhenyu’s wife who came from the city and has never experienced such cold weather, it would be better to light the fire wall earlier.
He thought, isn't it just a little more firewood? He can chop more next year with his son, it won't be a big deal.
Grandpa Du said with a smile: "It may snow in the next two days, so it's time to start the fire wall."
Seeing that he was covered in dirt, Grandma Du quickly pulled him outside and patted him with a small broom.
He was still muttering, "Old man, your head and body are covered with dirt, what have you been doing?"
"Xiang and Luo were building a kang this afternoon. I had nothing to do, so I helped them out." Grandpa Du smiled good-naturedly.
When she heard that he was helping someone build a kang, Grandma Du didn't say anything. She cleaned him up before the two of them went into the house.
Su Xieqiu had already prepared the food. Grandma Du cooked dinner and Su Xieqiu lit the fire.
Cornmeal radish pancakes, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, and the few slices of meat in it were at Su Xieqiu's strong request.
There was also a large bowl of egg custard in the middle, which Su Xieqiu insisted on steaming.
The eggs were given to her as compensation by Chen Wanxia and Miao Lili.
She thought of the indescribable expression on Grandma Du's face when she found out that she was extorting money from others again, and Su Xieqiu couldn't help but want to laugh.
While eating the simple meal in the bowl, Su Xieqiu decided that from tomorrow on, he would not let Grandma Du cook for him.
This old lady is very stingy. She is reluctant to eat eggs and meat, and even saves the fine grains for later consumption. In short, she saves all the good things.
Except for the good meal the old lady had when she first came, their family's living standard has dropped sharply in the past two days compared to before.
Every day we eat either corn and sorghum flour cakes, corn porridge, sauerkraut, radishes, and potatoes.
Su Xieqiu felt that he was a little greedy, not to mention the two children, Chenchen and Anan.
Although Grandma Du cooked eggs for them every day, it was still far worse than their life before.
In fact, in rural areas, being able to eat an egg every day is already very good.
Even if it's the captain's family, it's impossible for them to feed their son eggs every day.
At most, we would eat a bowl of egg custard every two or three days, and the whole family would share it.
What kind of family feeds their children boiled eggs every day?
Because of the radio, An An no longer told Su Xie Qiu that she slept with him when they rested at night.
After the little girl washed up, she said good night to Su Xieqiu and followed Chenchen to Grandma Du's room.
"Daughter-in-law Zhenyu, how about we bring the radio to your room and listen to it?" Grandma Du remembered what her granddaughter-in-law said in the afternoon. Knowing that she liked to listen to it, she smiled and handed the radio to Su Xieqiu.
"Grandma, listen to me, I want to read a book tonight." Su Xieqiu said.
"That's good." Grandma Du said with a smile: "Zhenyu's wife, if you want to listen, come and get it."
Su Xieqiu nodded and went back to the bedroom.
She closed the door and took an English book from the bookshelf in the space to read.
Su Xieqiu studied economics in her previous life and worked for a foreign-funded enterprise. She basically spoke English in her daily conversations, so she had many English books at home.
The 1980s and 1990s were the time when China's economy took off.
A lot of foreign capital will come here to invest because of the favorable policies provided by China.
