Chapter 82: We Have an Electric Fan at Home (Ask for Subscription)
Wu Cuimei is not just seeing through her son's mind now.
The reason why he used to scold Liu Yuanhe according to his son's temper was indeed because Liu Yuanhe went a little too far. As for now, it's completely because her son has nothing to do, so she naturally doesn't bother to take care of it.
In addition, these days, whether it is scooping sand or renovating the kitchen, Liu Yuanhe has made a lot of efforts, and Wu Cuimei sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart.
Although this stinky old man is usually not very serious and always likes to stick to women, she also knows that this stinky old man doesn't have the courage or ability, he just likes to make fun of women. So she never intervened much, at most she scolded.
Coupled with the fact that the foundation of the old kitchen has been renovated and will soon be put into use, she is very happy in her heart, and she is too lazy to curse.
"Qingshan, can the kitchen be used tomorrow?" Wu Cuimei was very anxious, she really wanted to cook dinner in the new kitchen tonight.
Mom has asked this question several times today.
Liu Qingshan's answer has always been no.
Let's not talk about the impact of using the new kitchen early on the new cement floor and stove in the kitchen, just say that the smell of cement is not very good for the human body. So he always felt that he would have to give the kitchen a few days before it could be put into use.
However, at this time, seeing my mother holding a rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, with vegetables on the chopsticks, but not eating, but suddenly asking him this question, I knew that my mother was really anxious.
Also, after all, she had been in the dilapidated and old kitchen for so long, and now that the new kitchen has finally been renovated, she can not be in a hurry.
Feeling the anticipation bursting out of his mother's eyes, Liu Qingshan had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Mom, since you are in such a hurry, then use it tomorrow, however, I estimate that the cement is not stable enough, and the smell is also strong, so take a fan to blow it tonight." ”
Hearing this, Wu Cuimei was happy: "Okay, okay, I'll let the fan blow for one night tonight until tomorrow." ”
"That's going to cost a lot of electricity. Liu Yuanhe muttered inexplicably.
Wu Cuimei immediately glared at him: "How much electricity can you want? Can't you even pay that electricity bill?"
"In that case, why don't you turn on the fan for me when it's hot? I paid the electricity bill, and I bought the fan, and if I turn on the fan, you will scold for a long time. Speaking of this, Liu Yuanhe has always been angry in his heart.
There is an electric fan at home, which he bought and has been buying for many years. But as soon as he took it out and blew it when it was hot, the old woman kept nagging in his ear, saying that electricity is expensive, electricity is expensive, and there is no money at home.
Therefore, the fan can only be turned on when there are guests, and at other times, it is not turned on at all.
But now it's good that the fan is going to blow on an empty kitchen.
He felt extremely uncomfortable, and suddenly felt that his status in this home was inferior to that of a kitchen.
"Can that be the same?" Wu Cuimei saw that he was unhappy, so she said, "Here in our house, there are mountains on three sides, and there is water in front of the door, all year round, the hottest time, it is only twenty or thirty degrees, how hot can it be? Moreover, the sun can only bask here at nine o'clock in the morning, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is blocked by the back mountain, how hot can it be? You are hypocritical, you have to buy one back when you see someone else's house blowing a fan." Buying a fan is a waste of money, not to mention, but also a waste of electricity. ”
"Then I'm sweating and trying to blow the wind. ”
"Oh, there's no mountain breeze blowing at the door? When it's hot, isn't it cool for you to sit there at the door? ”
Alas. It's so hard for men. was told by his wife that he was hypocritical, Liu Yuanhe sighed helplessly and continued to eat.
Wu Cuimei is right, this old house is always old, but whether it is quality or location, there is nothing to say.
The house is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the sun shines directly for only a few hours, and the gate is facing the valley, and in summer, the wind in the valley blows with the coolness of the mountain spring, even on dog days, it can be refreshing.
I really don't need a fan.
However, this time, this old fan can be regarded as the best use. has been plagued by rats and insects for many years, and now it has finally played its best role at a suitable time.
After a night of blowing in an empty kitchen, this old-fashioned electric fan finally ended its long and short life with hot and smoking from the machine.
Seeing that the electric fan that he hadn't used much was broken by his wife like this, Liu Yuanhe was very angry, rolled his eyelids, gritted his teeth, and said angrily but restrainedly: "Look at you, a good fan, it was broken by you like this." ”
"Oops, if it's broken, it's broken, and it won't be used anyway. Wu Cuimei didn't pay much attention to it, just stood in the new kitchen, watching her little world look new, not to mention how happy she was.
As for the broken electric fan, if it breaks, it will break. Originally, it was second-hand when I bought it, but now I've been buying it for many years, isn't it normal to break it?
However, she would have liked the fan, if it hadn't blown the kitchen for a night, the smell of cement here would not have faded so much.
Seeing that her son was about to sell yams, Wu Cuimei hurriedly chased out: "Qingshan, buy some food and come back, your mother and I will cook in the new kitchen tonight." ”
"Okay. Liu Qingshan responded happily, but caught a glimpse of his father standing in the corridor behind the door, holding the electric fan, his face full of distress.
Speaking of which, the reason why my father bought this fan at that time was really not because of hypocrisy.
Liu Qingshan participated in this matter throughout the whole process.
At that time, he was still young, only a teenager, and he was in junior high school.
In the second year of junior high school, the school installed electric fans in the classrooms, and the students were so happy that they all shouted that they could finally cool off this summer.
Then, some of the students said proudly, "What's this, isn't it just an electric fan? ”
"I still have air conditioning in my house. Another classmate said.
Finally, a little bastard in the class asked Liu Qingshan: "Liu Qingshan, do you have an electric fan at home?"
At that moment, Liu Qingshan was stunned all of a sudden.
Not to mention the fan, the family was so poor at that time that there were only two electric lights.
However, in the face of the eyes of his classmates, and the little bastard who knew that his family's life was not good, but still wanted to do something with him, Liu Qingshan couldn't say that he didn't have a fan at home.
However, he doesn't lie either.
So, a little face was flushed, but he didn't say a word.
Coincidentally, my father happened to be on the street at that time, so he came to bring him some salted duck eggs and bayberry in the mountains, and happened to hear this at the door of the classroom.
So, without saying a word, my father walked in, stood beside him with a tall figure, and said to the little bastard with a righteous face: "Of course we have a fan in our house, not only do we have a fan, but also a big orchard, there are endless fruits to eat all year round, we also have a zoo, there will be many small animals in our yard every day to visit, our family also has a big garden, you can see small flowers of different colors every season." Also, we have a lot of bees in our house, and we can eat a lot of honey every year. ”
Hearing this, the classmates were envious, surrounded Liu Qingshan, and asked him what fruit trees and flowers he had.
Dad gave the bayberry in his hand to the classmates: "This is the bayberry that grows in our orchard." ”
At that moment, my father really seemed to be a god soldier from heaven, and his proud demeanor and majestic appearance were still imprinted in Liu Qingshan's heart.
No, the mountains are not their back garden. The wild fruits in the mountains change all year round, isn't it their orchard? There are also birds in the mountains and forests that run to the yard every day to grab food from chickens and ducks, but they don't just come to the yard every day as guests. Moreover, every year around the winter solstice, Dad can find some wild honey in the mountains.
It's just that even if these dads didn't lie, but about the electric fan, my dad still lied.
There are no electric fans in the house. Liu Qingshan is very clear about this. Therefore, he was a little worried and a little scared, afraid that the fact that there was no electric fan at home would be exposed.
Dad seemed to see his thoughts, so he took him to the street during his lunch break and bought a second-hand electric fan for ten yuan in a home appliance repair shop.
At the moment when he held the electric fan, his father said to him proudly: "Son, do you see it?"
At that moment, the summer sun shone on my father's face, and his eyes were like two sparkling diamonds. The edges and corners of his facial features were also smeared with golden light.
Although his father is very unreliable, his little self-esteem has always been well protected by his father.
