Chapter 159 The unexpected gain of entering the city
Zhao Qinglan didn't know it yet, but Qian Hongxia and his wife had bad ideas hitting them again.
As the weather gets hotter day by day, Zhao Qinglan is thinking about buying an electric fan for her home.
It happened that she had received dividends several times, so she had a lot of money on hand.
Buying an electric fan is not a trivial matter, especially if you buy more than one at a time.
She then discussed with Li Huai that when he had a day off, they would go to the city to have a look. It happened that she had not seen her mother and sister for a long time.
Li Huai naturally said yes. He didn't want his wife to get burned. If he wanted to buy an electric fan, he could buy it.
As before, he made a greeting in advance to use the car.
On the rest day, they had breakfast at home and set off together, without leaving their three children.
When they arrived in the city, their family went to a snack bar first.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law coming, Ms. Sun quickly put down what she was doing and took them to sit in the house.
There were many customers in the store, but fortunately, the Zhao Qingzhu sisters were able to deal with them after a while.
Seeing that her daughter had gained a lot of weight and looked good, Ms. Sun felt relieved.
"Your belly is getting bigger every day, so please stop running outside."
"Mom, look what you said, am I that ignorant? We have business in town this time."
"What's going on?" Mrs. Sun became confused.
"Don't you think it's getting hotter and hotter today? We're going to check out the electric fan. By the way, Mom, do you want to buy one too?"
Mrs. Sun had never seen an electric fan in the village before, but she had heard of it.
"Hey, we don't need that thing, a fan will do."
No, people in the village are not so particular.
It's hot in summer, so just have a mat and a fan, it's not that fragile.
But when she saw her daughter and her son-in-law, who only saw her daughter, Mrs. Sun didn't say anything to prevent them from buying it.
She now also understands the current temperament of her eldest daughter. She spends money very cheaply, but her daughter is already married and has children. She, as a mother, can't control how others spend their own money.
Although her mother's temperament has changed a lot, Zhao Qinglan also knows that her mother is still only willing to spend money on necessities. Things like electric fans are probably dispensable items in her eyes.
Her mother didn't stop her from buying it, nor did she force her to buy it now.
After working for a while, he told his mother to continue her work and they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at electric fans first.
Electric fans also require tickets, but relatively speaking, they are not as popular as bicycle watches and the like.
Because in the eyes of many people, a mat or a fan is enough in summer, and an electric fan is not a necessity.
They have also prepared electric fan tickets, two in total.
When I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and heard that they wanted to buy an electric fan, the staff behind the counter became happy.
This electric fan has been in their backlog for quite some time.
Knowing that Zhao Qinglan and the others wanted two more, they quickly moved the things out.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Qinglan went to the trouble of finding a place with electricity and plugged in an electric fan to try it out.
I found that both units were spinning well, so I took out the money and bought the electric fan.
These two are naturally one in their house and one over the children's side.
If you feel hot when you are outside in the hall, just move the things inside.
Fortunately, Li Huai drove the car and they were able to transport the two electric fans back.
After buying the electric fan, Zhao Qinglan would naturally not leave immediately. After all, it was not easy for her to go out into the city now.
After buying some other things at the supply and marketing cooperative, the family returned to the snack bar.
It just so happened that the busiest period of the snack bar had passed.
The family had a meal at the snack bar.
There are a lot of ready-made ingredients for Malatang, so I cooked a big pot and they ate it together.
Knowing that they bought an electric fan, Zhao Qingzhu and her sister were very curious.
Zhao Qinglan asked her husband to bring one down and put it in their store to try it out.
Feeling the cool wind blowing out, Zhao Qingju couldn't help but said: "Mom, this thing is really good, let's buy one too."
"Yes, Mom, when we are busy during the day, we play it in the shop, and then move it back to the house when we go to bed at night." Zhao Qingzhu also agreed.
After the two girls said this, Mrs. Sun was also a little moved.
Mainly after experiencing the electric fan in person, she found that it was quite comfortable.
Since Zhao Qingzhu and her sister ran the store business together and gradually became the backbone of their small family, Mrs. Sun paid more and more attention to the opinions of her two daughters.
Especially the store's dividends, even if they don't belong to her, the two girls still have money to buy them.
However, before her daughters got married, Ms. Sun still felt that she, as the mother, was in charge of the family's major expenses, and she would pay for any expenses.
"Okay, let's buy it then, buy it with mom's money."
Seeing her mother relent, Zhao Qinglan blinked at her husband.
After saying this, Zhao Qinglan suddenly thought of something.
"Qingzhu, where is the wonton shop you mentioned? Point it to me."
The two sisters left the store.
"Well, it's the one over there, sister, have you seen it?"
Looking in the direction her sister pointed, Zhao Qinglan saw clearly.
But because it was too far away, I could only see the facade.
"Come here, Xiaoduo." She waved to the store.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Let's go for a walk with mom."
"Do you want me to follow you?" Li Huai asked.
"No need, Xiaoduo and I will just go there." Wouldn't it be too intrusive if there are too many people?
Holding her daughter in hand, Zhao Qinglan strolled over slowly.
"Xiao Duo, when we arrived at the door of the store, you said you had dropped something. Can we find it together?"
"Mom, are you trying to lie?"
"No, this isn't called lying, it's called acting."
"oh."
As soon as she walked to the door of the store, Xiaoduo started to show off.
"Mom, Mom, I dropped something."
"What dropped?"
"Just, just my hairpin." Xiaoduo thought for a while before making up one.
"Wait for mom to help you find it."
Pretending to be looking for something, Zhao Qinglan went into the store to look around secretly.
At this time, there are no customers in the time-honored restaurant, and the place is even more deserted.
There were three people sitting in two places in the room.
After taking a look, she didn't see anything interesting. Just as Zhao Qinglan was about to leave, another person came out. When she saw it, she was startled and immediately dragged her daughter to the door. However, she didn't leave immediately, she just hid it.
"With you guys like this, it's no wonder that our store's business is so good." Qian Hongxia lost her temper.
"Hongxia, can you blame us? We came all the way here to help you. It's hard work without any credit, so I won't say anything else. You can at least give me this month's wages." Her sister-in-law said.
Complain.
"It hasn't even been a month and you're asking me for wages." Qian Hongxia was angry.
Originally, her sister-in-law also wanted to ask for money, but when she saw this, she had to swallow her words first.
Qian Hongxia's voice was not quiet. Zhao Qinglan could hear her clearly even if she was hiding in the shelter of the door.
