"What did you buy? You're back so soon." Yan Guofeng asked loudly.
Yan Rushan pulled two baskets of beef and mutton from the trunk and unloaded the seasonings and vegetables. "We bought a lot. I'm going to go back to Hongxing Village later and ask the bullfrog farm to help clean out some bullfrogs. We'll need them for hot pot tonight. We'll also have to bring some back alive so Comrade Feng Zheng can cook them when he gets hungry."
"Okay." He also likes frog meat.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong came and helped move things into the kitchen; Yan Guofeng and Zhong Yuxiu sat on the sofa and stayed with the children.
Yan Rushan relaxed, washed his hands, and walked over to sit next to the old man and his wife.
"Grandpa, wife, there are refrigerators for sale outside now. Do you want to bring one back?"
"How much is one?" This is what the old man is concerned about. Many electrical appliances nowadays are imported and expensive.
Yan Rushan shook his head. "I don't know. I'll have to ask."
"Then let's ask first. If it's too expensive, forget it." What's the point of supporting foreign economies?
"We can afford a more expensive one. With a refrigerator, it will be much more convenient to store food at home." The money is not a big deal. Buying one will help preserve food and other things at home. Isn't that good?
Yan Guofeng looked at him coldly, "Don't buy anything over a thousand. What fresh food can't you buy with that money? If you dare to buy it, I'll break your legs."
Yan Rushan had to nod his head. "Okay, if you say you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. Sooner or later, our country will have refrigerators."
"That's right." Yan Guofeng's expression softened slightly. His mood had fluctuated so much that it took him a moment to recover. "Although our country imports electrical appliances, we should avoid using them if possible."
"I understand, Grandpa." Yan Rushan shook his head silently. People who have experienced the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are very resistant to products from Country R. However, at the moment, only Japanese electrical appliances are relatively cost-effective, and the country has to use products imported from Country R.
Zhong Yuxiu asked, "Speaking of refrigerators, I do have some ideas. I've had this idea before. Grandpa, can you ask Rushan to buy one and I'll take it apart and study it?"
"Research?" Yan Guofeng frowned, then said, "Are you sure? Our country's research institutes have also studied it, but they haven't completely conquered it yet."
"If it's not 100%, there's at least a 70 to 80 percent chance."
Yan Guofeng gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh. "Fuck! Dashan, buy one as soon as possible and send it to Yuxiu's lab. Yuxiu, you can tear it apart freely. If it breaks, it breaks. We're not afraid."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The three of them agreed, and Yan Rushan felt a little relieved. After lunch, he drove to Zhongguancun. He first urged the bullfrog farm staff to help clean four or five pounds of bullfrog meat. He then brought a bamboo basket, lined it with oil paper, and placed the cleaned frog meat on the oil paper. He also put the cleaned frog meat, along with the ten pounds of bullfrogs he had caught, into the trunk. Bullfrogs are large, and if they're well-fed, they're larger than wild ones. Ten pounds or so wouldn't be much of a problem.
The things were loaded onto the car and we headed to Hongxing Village. It was already evening when we arrived at Hongxing Village and it was getting dark.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi had been waiting in the main hall of the courtyard for a long time. When they heard the sound of a car coming in, they hurriedly got up and went out. They saw the car parked and Yan Rushan got out of the car.
"Comrade Yan, you're finally here."
"I'm late. Have you packed your things?" Yan Rushan looked up and asked.
Wang Daya said, "It's all packed up and in the main room. The bedding at home was washed but not completely dry yet, so we put it in a spare room."
"Bring the luggage over and put it in the trunk. We'll be back in time for dinner."
"Right away." Wang Daya turned around and strode into the house, followed closely by Gong Zhaodi. They each carried out two large bags.
After Yan Rushan took it, he stuffed it into the other side of the trunk. Bullfrogs were placed on one side of the trunk. Their luggage could only be placed on one side, but they had to use a layer of oil paper to separate them, otherwise, when they got home, they would not be able to keep the luggage.
"Where's Goudan?"
"Goudan didn't see it." Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi looked confused. They were busy cleaning all day and had no time to care about the robot.
"Wait a minute, I'll go call Goudan over." Although his wife gave him a holiday and he didn't have to go to work, Goudan could also take some time off; however, there would be a time when Goudan would be needed at home. Moreover, his wife was planning to research the refrigerator, so Goudan had to go back to assist his wife.
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi waited outside the door, and they had to wait until the door was closed before they could get in the car; instead of getting in the car in the yard and then getting out to close the door after the car drove out of the yard, it would be better to wait outside the door, wait until the car came out, and close the yard gate before getting in the car and leaving.
Yan Rushan walked quickly to the backyard and found Goudan. He saw that the dog was still waiting there, obviously unaware that his wife had left.
"Goudan, my wife has already returned to the compound. Turn on your phone and come with me."
“Ding ding ding.”
Goudan responded a few times, turned on his mechanical body, stood up straight, and walked up to him.
Yan Rushan took a look without saying anything, then turned and walked out. After Goudan walked out of the room, he did not forget to close the door. He followed Yan Rushan into the yard, and got into the car at Yan Rushan's signal.
Yan Rushan opened the driver's door and got in, drove the car out of the yard, and waited for Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi to close the gate and lock it; then, the two walked to the front of the car, Wang Daya opened the door, bent down and got in, Gong Zhaodi followed closely behind, sat down and closed the door.
"You can go now, Comrade Yan." Wang Daya said.
Yan Rushan nodded and drove away from Hongxing Village. When they returned to the compound, it was already dark. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi greeted the old man and Zhong Yuxiu and were busy packing up. They first made the bed in the room and then came out to help serve the dishes and set the table.
Goudan has gone upstairs and entered Zhong Yuxiu's laboratory to recharge and wait!
"Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, Mr. Yan, has the house been cleaned?" Wang Daya asked.
"We've cleaned up. You can take a break and then it's time to eat." Zhong Yuxiu spoke to the two of them with a smile.
Gong Zhaodi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, we're not tired. There are still some dishes left in the kitchen. I'll go get them."
Wang Daya agreed with a smile, and she and Gong Zhaodi went into the kitchen one after another.
"Grandpa, wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Yan Rushan took his wife to the bathroom to wash their hands, came out and took care of the children, and said to the old man.
The old man glanced at his great-grandchildren and handed them over to his eldest grandson and his wife. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands and brought a basin of warm water for the children. "Come, wash their hands too."
"Okay, let's do it. Grandpa, please take a seat first." Yuxiu stepped forward, took the basin of water, and said to the old man.
Yan Guofeng nodded and gave her the basin of water, but he did not sit down; instead, he went to get a mattress and spread it in the dining room, and found a low table, so that at least the children could sit on the mattress and eat at the small table.
