Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 86 Heater

Xue's mother said that both of them were in good health and asked her not to worry.

"Your dad went to work early in the morning. It's very cold these days. Fortunately, there are cars driving slowly. We can get off directly at the company without being frozen. By the way, your dad gave you a gift more than half a month ago. I sent two heaters, have you received them?"

Xue Ling was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of heat machine? There isn't one!"

Mother Xue explained: "Your father's old friend Uncle Gu went abroad a while ago and took a ship to travel. He bought a few heaters. They are really good! As long as they are plugged in, they will emit hot air and become larger. It becomes smaller and more convenient to use!

Xue Ling smiled softly.

In this era, such heaters are not yet popular in China, so people don’t even know how to pronounce them.

Mother Xue didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she continued: "Lao Gu gave us one. Your dad and I put it in the bedroom and living room for heating. It's very comfortable. There's no need to worry about carbon stoves, which are unsafe to use." . Your father thought that the winter in Rongcheng was quite cold, so he went to Lao Gu’s house to ask for two more units and sent them to you. "

Xue Ling felt warm in her heart and whispered: "Thank you, parents..."

Parents in the world love each other. Although she has not yet become a parent, she can already deeply understand the meaning of this sentence from her parents and her parents-in-law.

"Why are you thanking me!" Xue's mother scolded: "Why are you so polite to us! Your dad didn't deliberately take advantage of Lao Gu. He gave his old man a big red envelope to thank Lao Gu for his willingness to give up his love. Your dad said, Chengjia Village should also have electricity, remember to send one to the two in-laws so that they can have a warm winter in the future."

"Hey!" Xue Ling explained: "It's always snowing these days, so it probably hasn't arrived yet. The post office hasn't sent out the flyers yet, it should be soon."

Then, she told her mother that she was going to take her father-in-law Cheng Muhai to the provincial capital for surgery.

"The doctor said that the reason why he has been in pain is probably due to improper treatment of the wound back then. He needs to have surgery quickly and install a prosthetic leg before it worsens."

Mother Xue's eyes quickly turned red when she recalled the thrilling situation that year, and she choked with sobs.

"Back then, there was only a small hospital in Rongcheng, almost like a small clinic. Medical care was very backward. It would be great if we could handle it! Your father also often worried about Lao Cheng's arm. He didn't push your father away in time. , saved your dad, how could our family be where we are today! I didn’t expect that after so many years, I can still have the surgery, it’s so great! When your dad comes back, I will tell him immediately! He will definitely be very happy! "

Xue Ling sniffed and whispered: "The weather has cleared up. We plan to wait for the road to open, then rush over to pick up the old man here, and then take the car to the No. [-] Hospital in the provincial capital for surgery."

……

The sun was still shining brightly the next day, and the snow on the road slowly melted.

Xue Ling took advantage of her lunch break to go to the only department store in the county and buy some sweaters and coats, some for her mother-in-law and some for her father-in-law.

That afternoon she received a flyer from the post office. When she looked at the date, she saw that it had been sent from the Imperial Capital more than 20 days ago.

After get off work, Cheng Tianyuan came to pick her up and happily went to the post office to pick up two hot air machines.

The outer packaging box was a bit big, so Cheng Tianyuan could only push the bicycle while she pushed it from behind.

Despite the cold wind, both of them were smiling happily.

Back at the rental house, Cheng Tianyuan unpacked the box, carefully took out a heater, and looked at the operation carefully.

"Daughter-in-law, it's all in English...I can't understand it."

Xue Ling pulled off the scarf, hurried forward to look at it, and quickly plugged it in.

"Here! This is on, this is off. This is warm air, this is hot air."

Xue Ling twisted it, and the wick inside lit up. The wind slowly came out and soon turned into a warm wind blowing on his face.

Cheng Tianyuan exclaimed "Wow!" and exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

Xue Ling understood the principle and explained to him that the big wick inside heats up quickly and will become hot as long as it is powered on. The other principles are the same as those of an electric fan.

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "The power consumption...is probably a lot, right?"

Xue Ling knew his concept of saving and chuckled: "We go to work during the day and stay home at night. How much electricity can we use? It should be more expensive than buying charcoal!"

"It's really not safe to use charcoal." Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile: "From now on, when you work part-time in the house, just put it here. If it blows all over your body, you won't be afraid of being cold and you will keep rubbing your hands." After saying this, his eyes looked distressed. Look at her hands that were slightly red from the cold.

Xue Ling snuggled into his arms, smiled sweetly and whispered: "You took care of all the housework and boiled hot water for me to wash and wash my hands every day. My hands are fine!"

Cheng Tianyuan patted her back and said warmly: "I'll take the other one apart and have a look. If it's not damaged or anything, I'll put it back together."

"Okay." Xue Ling stood up and said, "I'll go down and boil water. You go ahead and do your work!"

Cheng Tianyuan shouted from behind: "Don't go into the water, just put it in the pot and cook it. I'll go down and wash the rice later."

Xue Ling smiled softly, knowing that he was reluctant to touch the cold water.

She quickly went downstairs and found that the sky outside had darkened, so she turned on the kitchen light.

Then, she opened the valve of the briquette stove, turned on the faucet to get water, and then placed it on the stove.

At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside!

Xue Ling was stunned, opened the door, and looked outside - he saw a fat man standing outside, wearing a suit with an old-fashioned look, blowing a cigarette.

She walked down and asked, "Who...are you looking for?"

The fat man turned around and stared at her with a look of amazement on his face, his eyes looking at her wildly.

Xue Ling was disgusted by his eyes and avoided it.

"Who are you looking for?"

The fat man came to his senses with an "Oh", looked at the iron gate outside, and said with a smile: "I'm here to see my sister Ouyang Mei - is this the right address?"

Xue Ling looked at his black teeth and felt so disgusted that he wanted to shiver.

"Wrong one! She's next door!"

She hurried back.

"Wait a minute!" The fat man stared at her pretty face and swallowed secretly: "Sister, what's your name?"

Xue Ling quickly ran into the house and closed the iron door with a bang!

The fat man laughed disgustingly and quickly went to the next door to knock on the door.

Xue Ling closed the door.

At this time, Cheng Tianyuan came down from the second floor and said warmly: "Daughter-in-law, the packaging is very good and it's brand new! I took it out and tried it just now, and it's fine."

Xue Ling nodded, thinking of the round black face of the man just now, he couldn't help but feel something familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

She responded absently and explained what had just happened.

"It should be the 'Ouyang Xiang' you mentioned."

Cheng Tianyuan's face darkened and he whispered: "Let's say hello when we come in and out. Just say hello to the neighbors. I don't like the way he does things. Let's try not to have too much contact with their brothers and sisters."

Xue Ling thought of Ouyang Xiang's disgusting and ambiguous eyes and nodded quickly.

"I wish I wouldn't have any contact with you!"

Cheng Tianyuan turned around and went to cook.
