Chapter 113: Buying a TV
Dongmei sent Wei Guo away with her front foot, and rode her 28 weighted bicycle with her back foot to sell medicine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the days passed, the medicine of winter plum became less and less day by day.
With the continuous sale of medicines, Dongmei's pockets gradually bulged.
When more than half of the medicine was sold, Dongmei paid off the money of several good sisters.
The rest of the medicines are completely their own net income.
Pay and you will get something, and Dongmei couldn't be more satisfied.
Although selling medicine is very hard and very hard, especially when the weather is bad, the cold wind blows on the face like a knife cutting pain, but Dongmei can see a bright future, can see the changes and happiness brought to the family through her own efforts, all of this, she feels very satisfied.
……
December is the coldest time of the Loess Plateau, and as snow falls one after another, the entire mountain is covered in snow.
Dongmei's medicine has been sold out of two-thirds.
Although it was not sold out, Dongmei already had a net income of more than 2,500 yuan, which was half a year's salary for Weiguo, but he earned it in less than three months.
If it continues at this rate, Dongmei will leave Wei Guo far behind.
However, Dongmei gradually found that her medicine could not be sold, not because Dongmei did not run enough places, nor because Dongmei's medicine was repeated too much, but because the surrounding drug market was temporarily saturated.
In the process of selling medicines, Dongmei gradually realized that not everyone gets sick every day, and not everyone needs medicine every day.
couldn't help but admire Dongmei's forward-looking and predictable ability of defending the country.
She didn't expect that the dumb-headed Wei Guo had a long-term vision.
So, Dongmei decided to put it aside for the time being, and after a while, the medicines in the nearby villages were almost consumed, and she went to sell the medicines again.
That's what the market looks like, it's an invisible lever that always brings supply and demand to some wonderful balance.
When she took a break, Dongmei was not idle, but began to study the TV set.
She calculated in her heart that the 2,500 yuan in her hand, plus Wei Guo could get back at least more than 2,000 yuan, added up, it was nearly 5,000 yuan.
In addition, he still has the remaining medicines that he has not sold, and if he sells them, he will have at least more than 2,000 yuan in income.
Therefore, Dong Mei Jue's time is ripe to add a TV to her home.
So, Dongmei ran to Sister-in-law Du and Hongxia's house when she was fine, because in the homes of all the good sisters, the two of them had TVs.
After coming and going, Dongmei has thoroughly studied the TV sets in the world.
At that time, the TV set was nothing more than those brands, and the price was comparable.
In the end, Dongmei decided to buy the brand TV of Hongxia's house.
Because she felt that compared with the TV of Sister-in-law Du's house, there were fewer snowflakes on the TV screen of Hongxia's house.
After making a decision, Dongmei waited for Wei Guo, who would return from winter break.
Since the patriotic units are all field operations, in the coldest season of winter, there is no way to operate, so the workers will take a holiday.
And it will be more than two months, until the New Year, after the spring is warm, and then all the work will be started.
The days of waiting for Wei Guo's return were long, and Dongmei would go to the gate of the base compound every day to take a look to the north.
If the bus of the unit comes back, Dongmei can't help but go up and ask, when will Wei Guo, the technician of the 797 drilling team, come back?
On this day, Dongmei, who was cleaning up the housework, suddenly felt that the palm of her right hand was very itchy, she scratched it lightly, and said to herself: "The palm of her right hand is itchy, will Weiguo come back today?"
Taotao, who was playing next to Dongmei, heard her mother's words, and happily called Nana and said, "Nana, Mom said that Dad will be back today, and our family will soon have a TV, and we will soon be able to watch cartoons." “
Nana rushed straight out of the bedroom, looked at Dongmei and said, "Mom, with the TV, I want to watch the flower fairy." “
Tao Tao shouted, "No, I want to see the Saint Seiya." “
Dongmei comforted the two children and said, "Mom is just talking, when your father will come back, I don't know the specifics."
Tao Tao looked at Dongmei's hand and said: "Every time my mother sees a spider, someone will write from me, and every time my mother's palm is itchy, there will be relatives coming back, and my father will definitely come back today." “
Dongmei shook her head helplessly, and said in her heart that some of her bad habits were all learned by Taotao.
Just as Dongmei sighed, there was a sudden knock on the door of the house.
Dongmei was stunned for a moment, and while walking forward to open the door, she said in her heart, it's not such a coincidence, is it possible that Weiguo is back?
Impossible, it's not so evil, is it?
However, the moment Dongmei opened the door, she saw a man wearing a military coat, labor protection shoes, and covered in snow, standing at the door, smiling at herself with a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
Dongmei couldn't care about the child anymore, she rushed forward, hugged Wei Guo, and said happily: "I wanted to say just now, did you come back today, I didn't expect you to really come back." “
Wei Guo simply carried Dongmei into the house, looked at his two precious children and said, "Dad is back, are you happy?"
The two children rushed over, hugged Wei Guo's thighs, and reluctantly let go and said, "Dad is back, we can buy a TV and watch TV." “
Wei Guo shook off the snowflakes on his clothes, took off his military coat, roasted them on the heater, hugged the two children, kissed them on the left and the right and said, "Who told you that Dad is coming back to buy a TV?"
Tao Tao immediately pointed at Dongmei and said, "Mom said it." “
Nana also learned from Taotao's appearance, pointed at Dongmei and said, "Mom said it." “
Wei Guo was happy, but he only took Dongmei's words about buying TV as a joke and didn't care.
However, Dongmei looked at Wei Guo seriously, then pointed to the bag he was carrying and said, "At the end of the year, how is the benefit, how much can you bring back, is it enough to buy a TV for your children?"
When Wei Guo generally came down from the mountain, he divided the money into two parts.
A small part of it was put in a handbag to prevent the robbers from hurting people by not finding the money during the robbery.
In addition, most of the money is hidden in his shoes or panty pockets.
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei and said, "Do you really want to buy a TV for your child?"
Dongmei said seriously: "That's still fake." “
Wei Guo thought for a while and said, "But, for the time being, our conditions don't allow it." “
Dongmei said: "Why don't you allow it, I'll ask you, how much money did you bring back?"
Hearing Dongmei's domineering rhetoric, Wei Guo couldn't help but think in his heart, this woman, once she earns money to support her family, her tone of voice has changed, and compared with before, she is obviously not as gentle as before.
After giving the children some snacks and coaxing the children aside, Wei Guo took out all the money and told Dongmei: "The salary is more than 2,000, the bonus is more than 1,000, and the other subsidies are more than 1,000." “
Hearing that Wei Guo sent so much money at once, Dongmei couldn't help it, and said excitedly: "How can you send so much money this year?"
After Wei Guo showed the money to Dongmei, he quickly asked Dongmei to close the curtains, for fear that he would accidentally show it to the thieves outside.
Wei Guo said: "The current situation is getting better and better, not only the salary has been raised, but also there are bonuses and subsidies, and our life will be better and better in the future." “
Dongmei saw that Wei Guo took out 4,000 yuan, and she didn't hesitate to take out the 2,500 yuan she earned from selling medicine, and said, "That's the money you earned, this is the money I earned, a total of 7,000, right?"
It's not that he doesn't know, but he was startled, Wei Guo nodded and said, "If you count the 5,000 yuan you lent to your sister, we will enter the ranks of 10,000 yuan households this year." “
Hearing the 10,000 households, Dongmei's eyes blinked very hard and said: "Yes, I really didn't expect that the 10,000 households that I never dreamed of before would be realized in my family of an ordinary worker, which is incredible." “
After speaking, Dongmei reminded Wei Guo not to think about getting the money lent to Chunmei back, because Chunmei has not been able to repay the money for the time being.
Even Wei Guo didn't expect that he would become a 10,000 yuan household in this year.
His mind couldn't help but go back to before.
When I first joined the work, my salary was only a few dozen yuan a month, and when I got to the second drill in Longdong, it rose to a salary of 200 yuan a month, and then to the first drill in northern Shaanxi, and it rose to a salary of 400 yuan a month.
Now, on average, the income of five or six hundred a month is really getting higher and higher, the income is getting better and better, and the life is getting more and more secure.
However, even though the money accumulated by Dongmei and Wei Guo has added up to more than 7,000, Wei Guo is still very hesitant to buy a TV.
Compared with Dongmei's boldness and rashness, Wei Guo is a conservative and cautious person.
He thinks that even if he has 7,000 yuan now, but he takes out more than 4,000 yuan to start a business and open a clinic for his younger brother, then he can only have 3,000 left, and if he buys another TV and spends 1,000, there are more than 2,000 left, what if there is a thing in the family, and the money is not enough?
Dongmei didn't think so, she felt that although the family had been very nervous, it had not yet reached the point of worrying about money.
Moreover, now that the economy is so prosperous, wages will definitely get higher and higher, and the business of selling drugs will continue forever.
So, don't think too much about it, since you promised to buy a TV for your child, then you should fulfill your child's wishes.
Dongmei talked to Wei Guo for a long time, and seeing that Wei Guo was unmoved, Dong Mei told Wei Guo bluntly: "If you don't want to buy a TV, then I'll buy it myself tomorrow and bring it back alone." “
Wei Guo frowned and said: "TV, this thing, is a consumable, after I buy it, not only does it cost electricity, but it is also easy to break, and if it is broken, it will cost money to repair, I think we should think about it again, should we buy a TV?"
Dongmei said firmly: "Everything is a consumable, where is there anything that is not consumed, I bought all the TVs, and I am still worried about electricity bills and repair money?"
After speaking, Dongmei listed a series of necessities for Wei Guo to buy a TV.
She couldn't bear to let her children Taotao and Nana brave the wind and snow to go to other people's houses to watch TV in order to watch TV.
And in the school, the children discussed some things on TV, and Tao Tao and Nana were at a loss.
At the same time, TV can also broaden children's horizons and let them know more distant worlds.
When Dongmei made a series of speeches in front of Weiguo, Weiguo finally agreed to Dongmei's idea of buying a TV.
