Chapter 593: Eighty Best Military Wife (Twenty-two)
"Ouch, look at Camp Chief Dou, he is worthy of being from the city, he is rich. Niu Cuihua was full of envy in her heart.
But what she didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
Because, within two days, another big liberation car drove to the family home.
When Dou Yuanchao and Anne received the letter, they hurriedly ran downstairs, saw that the electrical appliances and dowry had arrived, and asked a few little soldiers to help.
“...... W-This is the TV?"
"Ouch, what's this?"
"God, there are sewing machines, what a good thing. ”
At this moment, not only the good-looking and lively Niu Cuihua ran over, but even the neighbors who went up and down the stairs also surrounded them.
"Sister-in-law Niu, that's a refrigerator, you can put leftovers in it, and it won't go bad for several days. ”
It was a woman in her forties, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and gray women's trousers underneath, and she spoke Mandarin, albeit with a slight local accent.
"Sister Yang, this is a refrigerator. ”
Niu Cuihua's eyes widened as she watched as the two little warriors helped open the package, and carefully lifted out a pale green double-door refrigerator from inside.
She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid that it would be broken.
In fact, when Niu Cuihua went to the city to visit the department store, she also saw refrigerators.
However, because of the distance, I was taken aback by the price quoted by the salesperson, and I didn't dare to look closer.
She didn't recognize it for a while when she was wearing a carton just now.
She remembers very well that last year, this kind of double-door refrigerator cost more than 1,000 yuan.
The point is, money can't buy it, and department stores are out of stock all year round.
Overseas Chinese shops sell them, firstly, because the price is more expensive, and secondly, they ask for foreign exchange coupons.
In that kind of place, Niu Cuihua didn't even dare to enter.
"Yes, this is a refrigerator, and it's imported from abroad. It was the middle-aged woman who spoke.
When Anne heard the voice, she glanced at her and determined that this person was a family member of the commander of a battalion upstairs, named Yang Jie, a native of a northern province, with a high degree of Chinese, and a primary school teacher before joining the army.
After joining the army, Yang Jie was arranged to work as a teacher in a town near the military camp.
Because this primary school was jointly built by the local government and the army, children from the neighborhood and the children of the army all go to school here.
She prides herself on being a cultural person, and she is from the city, so she doesn't have much contact with the rural military wives headed by Niu Cuihua.
On weekdays, it's just to say hello and say a few polite words.
Yang Jie looked down on Niu Cuihua and others' rustic and instigated, and Niu Cuihua and the others still felt that Yang Jie and others were stinking and exquisite.
It's just that Yang Jie's number of military wives in the city is not too many, and compared with Niu Cuihua and other rural military wives, it seems that they are a little at a disadvantage.
Now the family members of the second battalion commander have come, and I heard that they are not only from the city, but also a college student.
Yang Jie had long wanted to befriend Anne, but she was busy giving her children exams these days and couldn't come over for a while.
The movement downstairs was too big today, and Yang Jie really couldn't sit still, so she ran down to take a look.
This doesn't matter, Yang Jie suddenly found that it seems that the second battalion commander's family is also very different from them.
Whether it is appearance, temperament, or the clothes and jewelry that look very expensive, Yang Jie, who is proud of herself, is also a little weak.
And those household appliances that moved in like flowing water made Yang Jie look envious.
Don't look at her, although she didn't make a fuss like Niu Cuihua, her heart was already churning - oh my God, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and sewing machines, and they are all famous brands, and some are even imported from abroad!
These things, just take them out, can attract the envy of countless people.
The second battalion commander's family is good, but they are all matched.
Just like their family, she and her husband both have salaries, and they have more than 300 yuan a month.
In addition to sending money to my parents in my hometown, there are more than 200 per month.
Yang Jie can also be regarded as a good person, occasionally making a new dress and buying some alabaster or something, which is already her luxury as a woman.
In a year, Yang Jie can also save 2,000 yuan, but just like that, she is reluctant to buy big items such as TVs and refrigerators.
Seeing these electrical appliances, Yang Jie couldn't help but have the idea of "or not, buy one too".
However, she soon dismissed this idea again.
I bought a TV, but didn't all the neighbors come home to watch TV?
I bought a refrigerator, hehe, most of the neighbors may be embarrassed, but those shameless people will definitely bring their own leftovers or something.
It's nothing to put leftovers, but if those guys get used to it, and then take away their own food, it's just-
As for the washing machine, it is even more impossible to buy. Don't talk about water and electricity, upstairs and downstairs to wash the sheets, remove a quilt or something, you will definitely find help.
Yang Jie is a little bit of a cleanliness fetish, looking at the oily and shiny cotton jacket sleeves of those children, and the bedding full of urine smell, she usually makes no less nausea.
Thinking that if he bought a washing machine at home, those few would take the dismantled cotton jackets and bedding to wash at home, Yang Jie was a hundred unhappy!
If you don't buy it, you can't buy it.
Thinking of those superb military wives, Yang Jie's envy for Anne disappeared in an instant, and instead gave birth to inexplicable sympathy and pity.
Anne had a keen sense and quickly noticed the change in Yang Jie's eyes.
"You are the family of the first battalion commander, right?" Anne took the opportunity to pour tea for the little soldiers, and also poured water for Niu Cuihua, Yang Jie and other family members who came to watch the excitement.
Anne handed Yang Jie the English white porcelain gold-rimmed teacup she bought from the overseas Chinese store and greeted her with a smile.
"My name is Yang Jie, and the one in our family is the commander of the first battalion. Yang Jie generously introduced to Anne.
She took the teacup, and found that the quilt was extremely delicate, and the pity for Anne in her heart became stronger: Tsk, such a good cup must be very valuable, don't be seen by those people, otherwise-
"My name is Ann Neon. Anne was a little puzzled as to why the other party had such a look of pity, and it was so obvious.
Anne looked left and right and found that Niu Cuihua and several other military wives were watching around the TV and refrigerator, and there was no one else around the two of them.
Anne lowered her voice and whispered, "Sister-in-law Yang, I am new to the city, and I don't know much about our military compound. I think you're also a warm-hearted person, so if there's anything you need, please mention more. ”
Annie's compliment made Yang Jie very useful.
When she faced Anne just now, she was still a little weak, but now, Yang Jie felt that she was an old-timer and was indeed qualified to mention Anne.
She took a sip of tea, looked left and right, and then said softly, "Xiao An, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person, but your temperament is too soft, let me tell you, our people from the military compound are from all over the world." "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
Anne raised her eyebrows, yo, this is a prelude to the best haunts.
Sure enough, I heard Yang Jie whisper, "I'm not talking bad about people behind my back, but there are a few, you need to pay attention, especially the ...... you are to the door."
