Chapter 14 Purchasing Appliances
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, Shen Chi only made two exceptions, one was in his previous life - he did not insist on keeping Lin Xiaoliang, and agreed to divorce and let her go; Once in this life - also for Lin Xiaoqing, but she hasn't realized it yet.
Although Shen Chi didn't know about the things in his previous life, just looking at the compromises he made in this life, Shen Chi understood that his feelings for Wanwan were far deeper than he thought.
He didn't even regret it afterwards.
Therefore, definitely, must have her outright.
Shen Chi's eyes were condensed, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile, and he hugged his wife and son and closed his eyes.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoliang was dug out of the quilt by Shen Chi, and after washing, she didn't even let her make breakfast, and took her and her son out directly.
When showing their passes in the guardhouse, the family of three was watched by a large number of onlookers - the new young lieutenant colonel, his beautiful wife and lovely son had already spread throughout the garrison.
It is not difficult for Shen Chi to call a car at his current level, and Shen Chi has already learned to drive in the army, so he doesn't even need to find a driver.
Xiao Rice Cake, who was riding a small car like a military jeep for the first time, was very excited, and was most interested in the steering wheel held in his father's hand.
Because they were not familiar with the road section, Shen Chi inquired before he came, and he also brought a map, but the road was easier to find at this time, and it didn't take much time for them to come to the city center.
After parking the car, Shen Chi took the mother and son to a steamed bun shop for breakfast. The prices in the magic capital are indeed higher than those in the county and provincial towns, but they are not as disparity as in later generations, after all, those luxury brand stores have not yet appeared.
"By the way, do you have a color TV ticket, a refrigerator ticket, a laundry ticket and a bicycle ticket?" Coming out of the bun shop. Lin Xiaoliang suddenly thought.
"Naturally, there is." Shen Chi felt helpless and a little funny, but he didn't expect his wife to be confused.
After parking the car, Shen Chi took them to the first department store in the magic capital, and the mall at this time naturally did not have the scale of the later generations. The two-storey building, the first floor is knitted textiles, audio-visual products, clocks and glasses, stationery and other goods, and on the second floor, you can see a variety of electrical appliances displayed in it.
At this time, there was no style of electrical appliances to pick, so the two of them did not have much effort to order a 21-inch large color TV, a refrigerator with the largest capacity, and a washing machine. A permanent bicycle, a red kun cart, and even a trolley for small rice cakes were bought.
It's just that Lin Xiaoliang is not very satisfied with the rattan trolley she bought, and the rest is okay, but the lack of awnings and the inability to fold make her feel very inconvenient.
Naturally, they couldn't get all the things back, but fortunately, Shen Chi negotiated with their manager. The other party saw that they had bought so many valuable electrical appliances, but they were also willing to help them send refrigerators, washing machines, bicycles and Kun cars, and after hearing Shen Chi report the address of the military compound, the other party's attitude was even more respectful.
As for color TVs and baby strollers, military jeeps are fully capable of loading.
In addition, Shen Chi also took Lin Xiaoliang to buy a lot of expensive fabrics and cents. Passing by the vegetable market, the two bought some food by the way and went back.
"By the way, where are the bikes and Kunches?" Back home. Lin Xiaoliang thought of a question.
At this time, bicycles and Kun cars were important assets, not because she didn't believe in the quality of soldiers, but because there were many wonders in the world. There will be black sheep in any group, not to mention that in addition to the military, there are also many military families in the family building.
No one stipulates that military dependents must be of high character.
"Don't worry, I've thought it all through." Shen Chi took out a key from his pocket, "There is a stairwell on the first floor that is only two square meters and no one uses it, it is enough for two cars, I asked the logistics room for the key." ”
Lin Xiaoliang put his mind at ease. instructed Shen Chi to move the color TV to the living room, plug it in and turn it on.
At this time, there were not as many channels as in later generations. Of course, there are not as many advertisements as in later generations, in fact. At this time, because of the lack of entertainment, people could even watch advertisements with relish.
Lin Xiaoliang turned a few stations and found that there was only one "Hero Huo Yuanjia" that was a bit interesting, so she put down the remote control.
She didn't have any expectations for color TV, but Shen Chi was not like this, and Xiao Rice Cake was even more interested in the box with someone inside, and looked at it with wide eyes without blinking.
So, when Lin Xiaoliang brought a plate of vinegared shredded potatoes and crispy chicken to the dining room, the two men smelled the fragrance and came out of the wonderful plot.
Shen Chi looked at the time and found that it was already half past eleven, touched his nose and said, "I'll go to the military canteen to see if there are any good dishes." ”
They also learned that there are two canteens in the garrison area, one is the barracks canteen and the other is the canteen for military dependents, the former because it is for those soldiers who have consumed a lot of physical strength after training, and they have always followed the three principles of more oil, more meat, and more quantity.
However, the barracks canteen is full three times a day, but it is said that there is a lot of meat and it is relatively common people, it is impossible to really eat big fish and meat, and military families cannot come often, and the military canteen is a supply system, and non-commissioned officers and officers of different levels have different shares, like Shen Chi, as a lieutenant colonel, can get a meat dish for free every day, two vegetarian dishes, a soup and a pound of rice, and if there are more, you will have to pay.
The food in the garrison area is quite good, and the military camp canteen is better than the civilian people, not to mention the military canteen, so Shen Chi said this.
Lin Xiaoliang nodded, "Then hurry up." ”
After Shen Chi went out, Lin Xiaoliang made some peanuts and rice for him to drink, and then took out the steamed egg custard for the small rice cakes in the rice cooker, looked at it and felt that there was no need to make more, so he began to serve rice.
After the two bowls of rice were served, I heard the sound of the door opening, and Shen Chi's voice sounded: "Wanwan, the guest is here, take two bottles of liquor out!" ”
Lin Xiaoliang took off his apron and walked out, and saw Shen Chi leading two men in their thirties and about thirty men walking in.
"Hello sister-in-law." Seeing her, the two were a little cramped.
Shen Chi pointed to the man on his right hand with an ordinary face but a calm temperament and said, "Wanwan, this is Xu Jinjun, with the rank of captain, and in the future, he will be equivalent to my deputy and help me train the soldiers below." ”
He pointed to the man with glasses behind him and said, "This is Zhou Huaiguo, with the same rank of captain, responsible for the work of political commissar." ”
He stood beside Lin Xiaoliang and hugged her and said to the two of them: "Needless to say, you also know her identity, but let me introduce you, my lover Lin Xiaoliang." ”
Xu Jinjun and Zhou Huaiguo both came with food, and I think the three of them met in the military canteen.
"Have you come here to say hello to your family?" Lin Xiaoliang knew that men were more careless in this kind of thing, so he asked such a question.
didn't want her to ask like this, but the two of them turned red, Zhou Huaiguo pushed his eyes and said calmly: "Sister-in-law, we are not married yet." "But there was a thin red on his fair face.
Lin Xiaoyan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "That's okay, if someone in the family is looking forward to me, I won't be able to get over it." ”
She felt a little strange in her heart, Xu Jinjun and Zhou Huaiguo looked like they were both thirty years old, unlike later generations, it was still very rare not to get married at the age of thirty at this time.
But she thought about it like this, and began to beckon them to eat without digging deeper.
"Sit down, you're welcome."
Lin Xiaoliang brought a plate from the kitchen and put all the dishes that the three of them brought back, not to mention, the food in the military canteen was really good, Shen Chi asked for a kung pao chicken that Lin Xiaoliang loved to eat, a mapo tofu, a fried garlic sprout and a tomato and egg soup, Xu Jinjun brought a braised pork, and Zhou Huaiguo brought a fried bean sprouts and a leek eggplant.
-- In the garrison area, soldiers can go to the canteen of military families every day to get a vegetarian dish or a soup for free; Non-commissioned officers can go to the military canteen every day to get a vegetarian dish and a soup for free; Officers of the rank of lieutenant can go to the military canteen every day to get a meat dish and a soup or two vegetarian dishes and a soup for free, as well as half a catty of rice; Colonel-level officers can go to the military canteen every day to get a meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, a soup and a pound of rice for free; General-level officers can go to the canteen of military families every day to get two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, one soup, and two catties of rice for free.
Coupled with what Lin Xiaoliang had made before, these dishes were more than enough for the five of them.
The three men were talking about work, Lin Xiaoliang couldn't interject, so he first hugged the little rice cake back to the room to feed him some milk, which would make her little breast milk no longer enough to feed the little rice cake, so after coming out, he looked at the egg custard on the table anxiously, and did not hide his desire for it.
"Makes you laugh." Lin Xiaoliang smiled at Xu Jinjun and Zhou Huaiguo, who were curious, picked up the egg custard and began to feed his son.
"You eat it yourself, and then feed him later." Shen Chi knew that his daughter-in-law was picky, if these dishes were cold, her appetite would be bad.
"The little rice cake eats very quickly." Lin Xiaoliang replied softly.
Shen Chi frowned and was about to speak, but Xu Jinjun on the side couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Shen, is this your son?" Is the small rice cake the name of the milk? ”
Shen Chi was distracted, nodded and said, "The big name is Shen Yinian." ”
As if knowing that he was talking about himself, the little rice cake looked at his father in embarrassment - what are you talking about me?
Xu Jinjun and Zhou Huaiguo watched Coke, and their eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
The guests enjoyed a meal, and when they left, Shen Chi kept sending them downstairs.
"How?" Walking on the boulevard of the military district, Zhou Huaiguo asked Xu Jinjun.
"What?" Xu Jinjun squinted his eyes and was a little lazy.
Zhou Huaiguo raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, it's this new boss." ”
"Eighty points of initial impression." Xu Jinjun put his trouser pocket in his trouser pocket, and said with some satisfaction: "Mrs. Lieutenant Colonel is ninety points, plus the skill of cooking, full marks!" ”
Zhou Huaiguo smiled, "Don't worry about you kid, Shen Chi is not simple." ”
Xu Jinjun lowered his eyes and was silent, but he thought in his heart: It is indeed not simple, and that strange and familiar face cannot be ignored if you want to. (To be continued)
