Reborn as a widow in the 70s

The next day, Meng Changhui came to pick up Lu Aiguo early.

Lu Aiguo and his family got in the car and went straight to the courtyard. When they arrived, Song Xiuxiu and several children went in and started cleaning. Lu Aiguo and Meng Changhui went to the train station to pick up their luggage.

He originally thought that a jeep should be able to hold all the luggage, but when he took the list and saw all the boxes and luggage bags, Lu Aiguo was dumbfounded.

In the end, Lu Aiguo rented a flatbed tricycle and asked Meng Changhui to drive part of it before transporting all the luggage home.

Since the room had not been cleaned yet, Lu Aiguo took Meng Changhui to move all the luggage to the yard.

When he saw the spacious and bright courtyard, Meng Changhui finally understood why the factory director of Lu University had to pay for renting a house by himself even though he had a free family home. This was the house he liked to live in.

Although he thought so, he gave up the idea when he thought of the salary of 32 yuan a month.

It’s better to save some of your salary to support your wife and children.

After moving the luggage, Lu Aiguo asked Meng Changhui to go back.

"Director, when will I come to pick you up for work?"

Communication is not convenient now, so some things should be clarified in advance to save the leaders from blaming them later.

Lu Aiguo calculated the arrangements at home, and then said to him: "Come back to pick me up in three days!"

Hearing this, Meng Changhui was shocked.

Why does this leader still need three days?

Before he came here, he heard that this man was a retired soldier, and he would do things vigorously and resolutely, never dragging his feet. However, he never expected that it would take so long to get to work.

It seems that the legendary Captain Lu is not that good either!

Although he thought so in his heart, Meng Changhui did not dare to say it out loud, so he readily agreed and drove away.

Lu Aiguo didn't know what Meng Changhui was thinking, and he didn't have time to guess.

In his plan, he must first settle down at home before he can work with peace of mind.

Although many people in this era go to work as soon as possible and then leave the work of settling a home to their wives, settling a home is a tedious and tiring job. Lu Aiguo is reluctant to let his beloved woman do this work. .

Seeing that all the luggage was brought in, Song Xiuxiu dusted herself off and prepared to go shopping with him.

As soon as they saw the two adults going out, several children quickly gathered around and looked at them expectantly.

Song Xiuxiu had already seen through their thoughts, but she didn't reveal it and deliberately pretended to be confused.

"You guys work hard at home and I will bring you gifts when you come back."

As soon as they heard that their parents were going out to play but they had to work at home, all the children let out a wail in unison.

At this time, Lu Aiguo stood aside and said: "Work hard, we will be inspected when we come back!"

After saying that, he turned his attention to Zhao Xuewen: "Xuewen, you are the eldest brother. You are responsible for supervision. If they don't do well, I will deal with you first!"

"understood!"

Then Song Xiuxiu told the children what they were doing.

She had already cleaned the high place just now, and the remaining children could do the rest.

Zhao Xuewen and Yaya were responsible for cleaning the windows, while Xiaoshu and Xiaoshitou were responsible for sprinkling water and cleaning.

After assigning the tasks, Lu Aiguo picked up his youngest daughter in one hand and his wife in the other and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Xiao Shitou immediately chased after him and asked angrily.

"Dad, didn't you say let us work? Why doesn't Miaomiao do it?"

The man looked down at his young son who was full of anger, and then said: "Miaomiao is only two years old, what do you think she can do!"

After saying that, he left the yard without looking back.

Xiao Shitou pouted his mouth and looked at the back of his parents leaving with an unconvinced expression. At this moment, Zhao Xuewen's shout came from behind.

"Little Shitou, please come back to work quickly!"

"Know it!"

In the end, Xiao Shitou could only sigh silently. He could only blame himself for being born at the wrong time. He couldn't beat his elder brother, was not as favored as his sister, was not as good as Miao Miao in coquettishness, and couldn't compare with Xiao Shu's brains. Look. I am destined to be a hard laborer in this house!

After Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu came out, they took the bus and went straight to the department store to pick up the bicycle.

Lu Aiguo then rode his car with his wife and children through the streets of the capital.

This car was specially bought for Song Xiuxiu, so it was really frustrating for Lu Aiguo, a man with long legs, to ride on.

Fortunately, they arrived at their destination quickly.

second-hand furniture market

Song Xiuxiu had seen brand-new furniture in department stores before and found that the styles were all similar and the prices were expensive, so she decided to go to the second-hand furniture market.

This is a large work shed. Although it is not as grand as a department store, it is fortunate that the furniture is complete and the prices are reasonable.

Song Xiuxiu quickly selected several desks, dining tables, cabinets and other furniture.

As for the beds, Song Xiuxiu chose a bunk bed for Xiaoshu and Xiao Shitou, while Zhao Xuewen chose a single bed. As for the two sisters Yaya and Miaomiao, Song Xiuxiu chose a double bed.

When Lu Aiguo was selected as the bed he wanted to use, he started his shameless behavior.

I saw a burly man about 1.8 meters tall shaking the double beds one by one in public. He was not satisfied with any movement.

After feeling the meaningful looks from the people around her, Song Xiuxiu hugged Miaomiao and wanted to escape from here.

"Almost done!" Song Xiuxiu tugged on the man's clothes and reminded in a low voice.

"How can such things be similar?"

As the man spoke, he began to shake a wooden bed desperately again.

At this time, a boss who was not tall but had a shrewd look on his face came over.

He smiled and said to Lu Aiguo: "Comrade, you can rest assured to use this bed, it is very strong!"

After saying that, he leaned in front of Lu Aiguo and said mysteriously: "I just use this bed at home, and there is no movement at all!"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo looked at the boss's thin body, then turned around and went to the next restaurant without saying anything...

Only the confused little boss was left!

After choosing for nearly an hour, Lu Aiguo finally settled on a carved wooden bed.

Lu Aiguo had a rough understanding of carpentry. Although he was not sure what kind of wood it was, he could tell that it was definitely made of good wood.

Judging from the craftsmanship, this bed is not only strong but certainly durable.

Moreover, the carvings on the bedside are very exquisite, and there are two low bedside tables of the same style. My wife will definitely like it.

The man's guess was correct. Song Xiuxiu really liked this bed and thought it would match the antique courtyard house very well.

Seeing that the couple liked this bed very much, the boss introduced it with a smile on his face.

"You two comrades have really good vision. To tell you the truth, my old man took this bed from a wealthy family a few years ago. We thought it was a good thing, so we didn't dare to mess with it. We have kept it very well. Recently, Only then do I dare to show it off and see the light of day again.”

“It’s hard to find this wood and the carpenter’s skills now!”

Lu Aiguo didn't have time to listen to the boss's nonsense, so he asked directly: "Just tell me how much it will cost!"

The boss smiled and said: "Comrade is really impatient, so be it, I don't want more of such a good thing, you can give me one hundred and twenty!"

One hundred and twenty dollars to buy a bed is indeed a sky-high price!

Hearing the price offered by the boss, Lu Aiguo turned around and left without hesitation. Seeing that the business was going to be bad, the boss immediately stopped him and said.

"Comrade, what is a transaction? It means asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot. Only after negotiation and measurement can the transaction be completed, right?"

"I see that you sincerely want it, and I don't want this good thing to fall into the hands of others. Why don't you give me a price and I'll see if I can accept it!"

After hearing what the boss said, Lu Aiguo came back.

I saw him looking for faults with this carved wooden bed. Although it looked good, it had not been used for a few years, and the carving work was too poor. The wood looked like good wood, but It's all pieced together with scraps...

Seeing that the other party was knowledgeable, the boss was immediately stunned.

To be honest, this boss really doesn't understand this. His father used to be in the scrap business. He only heard others say that this is a good thing, but they don't know what is good about it.

This boss is new to the second-hand furniture industry this year and is a layman, so he took out this bed to test the waters.

I was stunned when I heard Lu Aiguo's praise and criticism today!

In fact, Lu Aiguo also took advantage of the boss's lack of knowledge to talk nonsense here. If the boss really knew his business, he wouldn't sell this bed here!

In the end, Lu Aiguo bid [-]. Although the boss felt that the price was much lower than he expected, it was still much higher than the price of an ordinary double bed. After thinking about this, he agreed.

Lu Aiguo was afraid that the boss would regret it, so he quickly paid the money, and then found two flatbed trucks at the entrance of the market to pull back all the furniture he bought!
