Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Just a few days after New Year's Day, Xu Damao sent another washing machine to the family. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the third uncle.

"What is this? Damao, are you rich now?" The third uncle looked a little disappointed. When they started a business together, he was ruthlessly abandoned by the two.

"Oh! Isn't it cold? It's inconvenient for my wife to wash clothes because the water is too cold! So I went to buy a washing machine!" Xu Damao said indifferently!

"Wow! I don't even need someone to wash my clothes? This is too much of a luxury." The third aunt stood aside, looking shocked.

"What's the big deal? It's not even half as expensive as that white TV!" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"That's amazing. Your family is the only one in our compound that has bought so many things." The third uncle said sourly.

"Oh! That's because they don't know how to enjoy life. Xiaoyan and I are the only ones at home, and we don't have to worry about the children. Why don't they enjoy the present? Saving money won't help you have children!"

"It's true!"

Xu Damao’s washing machine became a rare thing in the yard, and everyone went to take a look!

As soon as Liu Qingshan returned home in the evening, he was stopped by Feng Yu.

"Qingshan, Xu Damao's family bought a washing machine today. I think we can buy one too! It's not easy to wash clothes in winter." As soon as Feng Yu came back today, Xixi dragged her to see the washing machine. The mother and daughter were more interested in this than the color TV.

"After a couple of days of rest, let's go to the mall together as a family. I plan to take a look at washing machines and refrigerators. These two things can be used at home, and they are not too expensive!" Liu Qingshan looked at the mother and daughter with a smile, and his mind suddenly became active.

"Really, do you still want to buy a refrigerator?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, we will buy one too. If you want, we will also buy a big color TV!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

Liu Qingshan still had some Hong Kong dollars in his hands, so it was much easier for him to buy these things than Xu Damao.

On this weekend morning, Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu took the two girls to the department store.

Arriving at the department store, Feng Yu and Xixi were not in a hurry to look at washing machines and refrigerators, but started to stroll around the mall.

"Dad, this Hero pen is great! It looks nice!" After Xixi said this, she looked at Liu Qingshan expectantly, waiting for him to respond.

"You're already working, and you still need your dad to buy you a pen?" Feng Yu smiled and tapped Xixi's head, then turned to Liu Qingshan and said, "Don't buy it for her, this girl has money!"

"It's just a pen, just buy it!" Liu Qingshan seemed to enjoy the feeling of being needed, and he consciously took out the money to get the invoice.

"Dad, my sister bought one, I want one too!" The little girl Liu Yuwen next to her followed suit and wanted to buy one too.

"What do you want to buy? Daddy will take you to choose, okay?" Liu Qingshan picked up the little girl lovingly so that she could see the things on the counter more clearly.

As a result, the little girl shook her head, pointed at the candy area in front of her, and her saliva was almost flowing.

Feng Yu and Xixi were laughing so hard that they couldn't even straighten their backs!

"You can't buy this candy! We have so much at home! Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this!" Feng Yu would not listen to her, and his face immediately fell.

"If mom doesn't buy it for us, can we go home and eat it?" Liu Qingshan coaxed the girl while hugging her.

"Hmph! I buy whatever my sister wants. I don't even have any candy when I want to eat. You bad mom!" Liu Yuwen acted like a little adult and rolled her eyes at Feng Yu.

"Are you itching for trouble? Don't force me to slap you when there are many people around. Just behave yourself!" Feng Yu stared at the little girl expressionlessly, and soon she gave in.

Liu Qingshan followed a few people and walked around for a while before finally arriving at the home appliance area.

Although the home appliances at that time were not as fancy as those in later times, they still had everything they needed. Liu Qingshan picked out a Snow Flower refrigerator and a Narcissus washing machine and that was it.

"You've just picked them out like that, without making any comparisons?" Feng Yu and Xixi were both a little surprised at Liu Qingshan's speed. It was too fast.

"What's there to pick and choose? Anything close enough will do. They're all domestic brands, so the difference isn't that big." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

The most important thing is that you can't choose this thing. There are not many brands and varieties. You can't check the goods here. But it will be soon.

After picking out the things, the few people did not linger any longer and directly called Wo Bo'er to take the things back.

When I arrived at the courtyard, I unexpectedly saw Sha Zhu and his wife.

"What did this family buy? They even hired a servant?" Sha Zhu looked at Liu Qingshan and the others in surprise and joked with a smile.

"I saw Xu Damao bought a washing machine, so I thought my family needed one, too, so I bought one. This is a refrigerator. It's not very useful in winter, but it's quite necessary in summer." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"That's great! I don't need this refrigerator. There is a freezer in the hotel. But I also have to buy a washing machine. I'll go to your house later to see how this thing is used!" Sha Zhu said seriously.

"Okay, I'll try it out when I get home. If it works, you can buy one for me."

Now that he had met Sha Zhu, there was no reason for Liu Qingshan to let him go.

Wo Bo'er carried a refrigerator and walked in, while Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu carried the washing machine in.

After Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu placed the washing machine in place, they plugged it in and prepared to test the effect.

Sha Zhu looked at the washing machine curiously, touching it here and there like a child.

Liu Qingshan briefly introduced to Sha Zhu how to use the washing machine, then put a few pieces of clothes in it, poured in detergent, and started the washing machine.

Watching the washing machine start to turn and the water flowing, Shazhu's eyes lit up and he kept praising this thing for its usefulness.

After a while, the washing machine stopped turning. Liu Qingshan opened the lid and took out the washed clothes to dry.

Sha Zhu couldn't wait to ask: "Qingshan, how much did you buy this washing machine?"

Liu Qingshan told him the price. Sha Zhu thought about it and felt it was a good deal, so he decided to buy one.

"Where did you put it? You two rarely come back!" Liu Qingshan asked curiously.

"Hehe! I feel much more relaxed now. From now on, I just need to go there before lunch. I will leave the rest of the shopping and preparation work to Ma Hua. From now on, I can come back every day!" Sha Zhu said happily.

"That's good! Finally we don't have to be so tired. It's time to put some pressure on Ma Hua." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"I have cleaned up the room in the hotel and will use it as his dormitory. If he gets off work too late and doesn't want to go home, he can also stay here with me." Sha Zhu said proudly.

"Now that you're back, the yard will be lively again."

"By the way! What is Nan Yi doing recently? I haven't seen him for a long time. Is their factory so busy now?" Sha Zhu suddenly said.

"I don't know either. I'll talk to him later. It's such a waste that his skills have been kept in the factory all this time!"
