Chapter 40, refreshing
Looking at the old man Xia, who was obviously a little excited, the little couple glanced at each other.
"Grandpa, you don't know that the family courtyard in the army is very lively. Everyone usually likes to chat together, and some people have specially prepared a place for everyone to play chess, and that place is lively!" Although Lan Ketian has not been to see it, she has heard Aunt Lian say that it is usually an entertainment place for family members.
Old Man Xia pricked up his ears and fought chess, which was a bit interesting. usually plays chess with the old man Chen next door, and the old man feels that he is about to get tired of it. The strength of the two people is about the same, and it is difficult to distinguish a winner or loser.
If it comes to chess, although the old man is not 100% sure, he can still be 70% sure that he will definitely be the one who wins.
"It's quite interesting, but I'm worried that there will be no one to talk to me over there, and I want to find someone to talk to more when I'm old. With these words, the old man's heart began to waver. But I still want to find an excuse, thinking not to trouble the stinky boys.
Hearing the first sentence, Lan Ketian and Xia Yurui's eyes lit up, and even the last words did not dispel their self-confidence.
I thought that what kind of difficulties there were, it was easy to deal with no one to speak, and the family members in the army usually liked to chatter when they had nothing to do. Who's fried food at night, two people mixed their mouths, etc., these trivial things can be said for a long time.
And thinking of the second purpose of coming out today, Lan Ke narrowed his eyes with a sweet smile.
"Grandpa, we're going to buy a TV so you can listen to music on it. ”
TVs in this era are rare, and only Lao Zhang has them in the entire compound, and everyone likes to go to their homes to watch TV after eating at night.
The old man suspected that there were too many people, so he went to see it two or three times and didn't go. But the people on the TV sang really well, and the acting was good, and the old man would hum a few words when he was interested.
"Then I'll go to the army with you today!" What do you want to do, the old man readily agreed. Especially when the old man thought that in the future, he could listen to the little song while looking at the little great-grandson on the other, not to mention how beautiful it was.
After getting rid of grandpa, Xia Yurui and Lan Ketian went directly to the mall. They can see that the old man is attracted by the TV, and he won't say anything today, this TV must be installed! Let the old man be happy, after all, the little great-grandson is still in the belly, but this TV is ready-made, and the efforts just now cannot be in vain.
After picking for a long time, the last two people decided to buy a 29-inch color TV, the old man is older, and the screen is larger to be able to see more clearly. As for the color, it is Lan Ketian's request,I bought them all, then buy the best,TV can be used for many years!
Thinking of turning on the TV and seeing black and white, Lan Ketian waved his hand to ask for color, and it was bigger.
Watching his daughter-in-law neatly take out the money, Xia Yurui secretly asked by her ear while everyone didn't see it: "Daughter-in-law, is the money around you enough? ”
Just when he decided to buy a TV, Xia Yurui also let go and took out his savings that he had saved for many years. I haven't done anything for my daughter-in-law since I got married, and it doesn't matter if my daughter-in-law likes to spend all the money, I can earn it again!
took out the money bag she embroidered from her pocket, Lan Ketian took out a thick stack of money from it, and looked at it as if there were more than three thousand.
Not to mention the waiter who introduced them to them, even Xia Yurui looked at her with a stunned expression.
After taking out all the money, Lan Ketian asked the waiter, "Is this money enough?"
"Enough is enough, this TV only needs 2700 yuan. Dumbly took the money in Lan Ketian's hand, and the waiter went to the front desk to settle the bill.
"Daughter-in-law, how much did you sell for the embroidery! I saw yesterday that the things at home were not bought less, why do you still have so much money?" Xia Yurui had a new understanding of his daughter-in-law's ability to make money.
"3000 like. Lan Ketian thought of the grandmother who collected embroidery, and her heart warmed, "People saw that I had good craftsmanship, and those fragmentary handkerchiefs and silk scarves were also collected, and they were about a little more than 3,000 together." ”
Xia Yurui felt that his dignity as a man had been severely hit, and the money was more than his salary for two years. Now he still has to rely on his little daughter-in-law to support him, and his macho dignity has been greatly challenged.
After collecting the rest of the money and letting the TV be delivered to the house, Lan Ketian took Xia Yurui to the sewing shop.
"Husband, do you think this cloth looks good?" Lan Ketian held the cotton cloth in his hand, the bright red background color, soft and soft to the touch.
Xia Yu didn't know much about these things, but he just thought: "It's pretty good." ”
Seeing his opinion and his own hopes, Lan Ketian was even happier.
"Yes, I also think it looks good, I plan to buy some golden cotton thread to go back, embroider a piece of auspicious clouds, and then make a set of clothes for the baby!"
Xia Yurui's eyes also showed the same picture, taking the initiative to take the strip of cloth and waiting over there for Lan Ketian to pick up the thread and cloth. In the end, when paying, he deliberately grabbed in front of Lan Ketian. Seeing her look over, he deliberately walked away with his things as if he didn't know anything.
"You're back, come and have a look. Old Man Xia looked at the big cardboard box in front of him with interest, and his eyes were about to burst out of a flower. Knowing that they went out to buy a TV, I saw someone carrying a cardboard box in front of me and knew that it was a TV. But the TV was too heavy, and the old man really couldn't move it, so he could only stare there. This saw the two of them come back, busily beckoning there and asking them to help.
Looking at his grandfather's impatient appearance funny, Xia Yurui said, "Grandpa, this TV still has to be installed in the army, it's too troublesome to turn it on now and reinstall it later, I'll dismantle it for you immediately when you get to the army." ”
felt that it was really inconvenient, and Old Man Xia didn't say anything anymore, but turned around and went into the house. As the old saying goes, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, old man, I have time, wasn't I happy just now! Lao Zhang, that guy always shows off how filial his son is, hum, I have a grandson and a granddaughter-in-law!
After explaining the family affairs to Aunt Liu, the three people who finished lunch returned to the army with the TV. Because there was a TV and Old Man Xia, and Lan Ketian was a pregnant woman, Xia Yurui directly took a car and drove them directly to the gate of the army.
