Chapter 100 My Aunt is So Thin-skinned
It was a happy day, and Teacher Yu and Father Xiao drank a little too much. Yu Mengmeng went to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup for them. After they drank it, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu said goodbye.
Deputy Captain Qi did not try to persuade them to stay and asked them to walk slower and have a good rest when they got back to the capital.
Xiao Qinyun agreed, and together with Xiao Qinyu, he helped Xiao's father leave the Yu family. Qiao Qinglu followed behind with the three children back to the guesthouse.
After the waiter opened the door, Xiao Qinyun helped Xiao's father into the bathroom and gave him a shower. After that, Xiao's father became much more awake, drank some hot water, and fell asleep.
In order to make it easier to take care of him, Xiao Qinyun decided to put him and his father in the same room at night, and let Mantou and Doubao stay with Qiao Qinglu.
Mantou and Doubao nodded sensibly, and the time passed. When Xiao Qinyu saw that he had finished his work, he made an appointment with his elder brother to meet at the door for breakfast at 7 o'clock the next morning, and then left.
After Qiao Qinglu took the three children to wash up, she asked them to go to bed quickly. They were tired after running around all day, and they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed.
The next morning, Qiao Qinglu and the children were awakened by the military district's wake-up call. After lining up to wash up, Xiao Qinyun and Xiao's father also came over.
It's not even 6 o'clock yet, and everyone is up, so we went out for morning exercise for 40 minutes, came back to take a shower, change clothes and go downstairs. It's exactly 7 o'clock.
Xiao Qinyu took them to the military district canteen. Xiao's father, Xiao Qinyun and Xiao Qinyu ate scallion noodles, while Qiao Qinglu and the three children ate rice rolls. The canteen chef's cooking was excellent and the food was rich in fat. After the meal, everyone gave a thumbs up and began to look forward to the wedding banquet the next day.
After dinner, Father Xiao took his three children for a stroll in the military area. Qiao Qinglu told the children to listen to their grandfather and not to be naughty, then followed Xiao Qinyu to the driver's class.
On the way, Xiao Qinyun asked, "Qin Yu, how is the decoration of the new house going?"
Xiao Qinyu smiled innocently, "Mengmeng, my sister-in-law, and my elder sister came over yesterday and finished decorating. We hung colorful ribbons on the ceiling, our photos on the wall, and many red double happiness patterns on the furniture, walls, windows, and doors. We also put fresh flowers on the table."
The new house in the 1980s, this colorful stripe left a deep impression
Qiao Qinglu smiled and said, "You are so lucky."
Xiao Qinyun suppressed the urge to complain and silently said to himself, "This is my brother, my brother..."
When it was time to go to the driver class, Xiao Qinyu found the driver, Xiao Wang, and after introducing his brother and sister-in-law, he said, "I'll leave it to you."
Xiao Wang patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, Deputy Captain Xiao, I will complete the pick-up mission."
Xiao Qinyu couldn't help but hit Xiao Wang, "Stop being so poor."
Xiao Wang was a talkative person. Along the way, he talked to Xiao Qinyun about many things about Xiao Qinyu, such as his ruthlessness on the battlefield, the individual champion in martial arts competitions, the nickname "Crazy Xiao", and his love-hate relationship with military doctor Yu.
Qiao Qinglu couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "You are so loose-lipped. Does your teacher know?"
Xiao Qinyun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you are so famous. When I return home, should I tell you what I have heard along the way?"
Finally they arrived near the hotel. Xiao Qinyu asked Xiao Wang to wait at the intersection, while Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun walked into an alley near the hotel.
After walking for a while and checking that there was no one around, Qiao Qinglu found a corner and took out the tied-up color TV and tape recorder.
Then Xiao Qinyun returned to the car with a color TV in his left hand and a tape recorder in his right hand. He unloaded the items in the trunk and the three of them returned to the military area.
During this time, Xiao Wang was very interested in the color TV and tape recorder and asked about their prices.
Xiao Qinyun had just communicated with Qiao Qinglu that the price of the color TV was 1,340 yuan and the tape recorder was 350 yuan.
Hearing that the price was so cheap, Xiao Wang was a little tempted. This price was not only cheaper than that in the mall, but also cheaper than that sold by vendors in Guangzhou.
Xiao Wang asked shyly, "Brother Xiao, do you have any extra color TVs or tape recorders? I want to buy some."
Xiao Qinyun was a bit embarrassed. "Yes, I do have them, but if you only want one or two, I can't offer you that price. I can't even cover the shipping costs. If you really want them, whether it's a color TV or a tape recorder, you need at least ten before I can sell them. And I'll give you two genuine cassettes with each one. But let me be frank, it'll take a few days for the item to ship, and you have to pay a 10% deposit first. If I ship it to you and you decide not to take it, I won't refund the deposit. After all, I've already paid for the shipping. Words are not enough to prove this, let's put it in writing to avoid any unpleasantness."
Xiao Qinyun said this because, firstly, the market price cannot be lowered too much and some room must be left for the business people here, and secondly, he wanted to create a good relationship for his younger brother.
As soon as the betrothal gifts were exposed, people would inevitably ask what the couple did for a living, as they couldn't hide the fact that they were in business.
It is convenient for others and yourself, but you cannot make exceptions for one or two people, so you set a threshold to prevent people from coming to your brother for this matter in the future and to avoid trouble.
When Xiao Wang heard this, he understood. "Okay, I'll ask my comrades later. I'll meet you at the guesthouse around 7pm."
He went back to ask his comrades if they had any needs. Everyone had a lot of allowances and was of marriageable age. Color TVs and tape recorders were hard currency in the blind date market, so maybe they could get ten people together.
"OK."
When they arrived at the military area, Xiao Qinyu calculated the time and was waiting at the gate. When he saw the car coming, he waved and sat in the passenger seat.
"Finally, I've got you. Xiao Wang, hurry up and drive over to my new house. My refrigerator is already mounted on a military card, and I'm just waiting for the color TV and tape recorder."
"Brother, sister-in-law, the old man and Mantou have already arrived at the Yu family. Let's go over now."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Wang drove towards the new house. When he arrived, several men in green military uniforms helped carry the color TV and tape recorder onto the military truck. Then, Xiao Qinyun, Qiao Qinglu and these men in green military uniforms sat in the back of the truck together.
