Since we were already planning on drilling and wiring the refrigerator to put it in the kitchen, it would take at least half an hour. After explaining the best place to put the refrigerator, Su Qinghu said goodbye to her mother-in-law and went out to buy groceries with her wallet and a cloth bag folded into a square.
These people should have some relationship with her father-in-law, so she has to entertain them.
When she returned home with a bag of vegetables and meat, as well as a few bottles of beer and soda, the wiring had been installed and protected to prevent damage or electric leakage that could injure anyone.
Now a group of people are working on the water pipes, and some are fiddling with the liquefied petroleum gas tanks!
Su Qinghu: “!!!”
What happened while she was away?!
Are the in-laws so awesome? The mother-in-law didn't even tell her a thing before!
So her lifestyle suddenly became modern from then on?
The surprise came so quickly!!!
Chen Bai was watching everyone work, saying a few words from time to time. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Qinghu standing at the door, looking at them in shock. He smiled and looked over, "What? Chen Lie didn't tell you?"
Su Qinghu walked into the yard, shaking his head in surprise, and said casually, "Does this have anything to do with the display?"
After returning from his last business trip, he didn't write to her, nor did he call or send a telegram.
Chen Bai nodded.
Su Qinghu: "..." Is everything in front of me related to the display?
But does Chen Lie have money?
Although this month's allowance hasn't arrived yet, how much is that? Is it enough to buy a 150-liter refrigerator?
Not to mention anything else, just this refrigerator that my father-in-law got would cost at least eight or nine hundred, not to mention the labor cost!
There is also this can of liquefied gas, which is 15 kilograms long. The price of liquefied gas is over 3.60 yuan.
Of course, the jars are more valuable... It's hard to get them without channels...
In addition to these, there is also the laying of water pipes...
If you want to live a slightly modern life these days, you need money!
Su Qinghu suddenly felt that being supported by someone and living a leisurely life was quite pleasant.
At least for a moment now she wanted to be an easy winner!
"It really has something to do with the display!" Su Qinghu walked closer, and while sending the vegetables and meat to the kitchen, he turned his head and asked Chen Bai.
Chen Bai smiled and said, "Chen Lie called me before you came back from your business trip. He told me about your situation and asked me to see when to fix the water and electricity in your house."
Ms. Meng came out after hearing Su Qinghu's movements and said with a smile, "We were not there when you two got your marriage certificate, so we couldn't give you anything. Chen Lie asked to help fix the water and electricity at home, so we thought, since we were going to fix it, we might as well get you a refrigerator."
At that time, I was not sure whether I could get the refrigerator or whether the water and electricity repairs could be completed all at once, so I did not tell her in advance.
Even though people's overall living standards don't seem to have improved much now, the reform and opening up has brought a new lease of life, and some people have quietly become wealthy.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many industries like electrical appliances and clothing that are gradually being liberalized.
It is easy to get things done when money is tight, but electrical appliances are difficult to get, especially things like refrigerators that are in short supply.
In the past, perhaps due to lack of knowledge, people did not realize the benefits of refrigerators, but with the deepening of reform and opening up, when summer comes, everyone knows the benefits of having a refrigerator at home.
"This refrigerator and liquefied petroleum gas are your father and I'm giving you as wedding gifts." Ms. Meng said, a little embarrassed, "The bicycle—"
After buying these things, they have no money to buy a bicycle for the time being. If they want to make up for it, they have to wait for their next month's pension.
Ms. Meng knows her husband best and agrees with his approach. Most of their wages over the years have been lent to soldiers or friends for emergencies, so they have limited money on hand.
I bought a refrigerator, a gas tank, laid water pipes, etc., and I really don’t have much money left.
Unless some of the money lent out can be returned next time.
"No need for bicycles." Su Qinghu waved his hand. "My commute to get off work is a bit far, so riding a bicycle is actually a bit time-consuming. When Dadan and Erdan go to junior high school and need bicycles, I will buy them some."
It would be great to have a refrigerator, and to have the water and electricity lines arranged in a row, so that it can be used at any time without having to wait like a honeycomb coal stove to light up.
She was very satisfied.
Such parents-in-law are great!
Seeing her eyes sparkling with joy, Ms. Meng smiled and said, "If you don't want a bicycle, I'll see if I can get you a washing machine."
Washing machines are cheaper than refrigerators. The most expensive semi-automatic double-cylinder foreign brand costs 470 yuan.
As long as two or three people pay back the money, the young couple can buy another big item.
Su Qinghu almost covered his chest.
Oh my god, this is so exciting!
Is this the love from the in-laws? Too overbearing!
"Mom, no need, I can do it myself..." Su Qinghu said halfway and became a little weak.
Her monthly salary plus subsidies is about 75 yuan. She wants to buy a washing machine. I'm afraid she will have to save money until the end of the year?
With a start, Su Qinghu woke up.
Instead of daydreaming, it is better to do practical things and strive to get rich quickly, so as to give back to these two old people who treat her almost as their own daughter!
"You can, you can. As your elders, we have to prepare some wedding gifts for you." Ms. Meng said hesitantly, "Xiao Su, what do you and Chen Lie think? When will you hold the wedding?"
Although they know that getting a marriage certificate means they are legally married, many people find it unacceptable not to hold a wedding. On the one hand, the man will be accused of not valuing the woman, and on the other hand, the woman will be accused of being disrespectful...
She didn't want these rumors to follow her son and daughter-in-law.
Ms. Meng's words were sincere, and Su Qinghu could feel it.
but,
This wedding really can't be held.
The original body's father died, the original body's mother had not been seen since she was a child, and the original body's grandfather passed away...
Of course, some people might say that relatives can come to the wedding, as long as there are relatives.
But the relatives were overthrown by the original body and their relationship was broken up. Even if the relatives were willing to come to such a powerful man's family, Su Qinghu was unwilling.
so,
"Let's wait a little longer." Su Qinghu said with a relaxed expression, "Chen Lie and I got married a little too quickly. We want to cultivate our relationship a little longer, and then when our two children are fully accepting of our marriage, we can get married."
This is a valid reason!
Su Qinghu secretly applauded himself.
Ms. Meng nodded. "I was worried before, but now I feel relieved after hearing what you said."
Although her son told her not to mention this matter to Xiao Su, as an elder, she could not completely ignore it.
What if there are some rules that this young couple doesn’t understand?
