Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 204 It’s easy and fun to spend money!
"what?!"

"I'm going to buy you a washing machine first. I always forget about it, so I'm going to buy it today."

Chen Hui turned his head and smiled at An Wenjing behind him.

"But didn't you say you wanted to ask about the voltage in the village first, in case you were worried that it wouldn't work?"

"This is a big thing. Wouldn't it be a waste if it can't be used?" An Wenjing suddenly became serious.

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted."

"I've thought about it. Let's buy a washing machine first. If it can be used, use it. If it can't be used, take it to my aunt's house. I'll use it to wash my sheets and winter clothes in the future."

"We will buy a new one when the village has electricity. Dasha Village has electricity, so our village should also have electricity in one or two years."

Chen Hui clearly remembers that electricity was available in Chenjia Village in the spring and summer of 1987.

Originally, Chenjia Village was in the last round and had to wait another year. However, Chen Kaiming went to the county town more than ten times for this matter and finally secured a place in the first round.

After the matter was settled, Chen Kaiming was extremely happy and broadcast the news in the village for several days in a row.

"Dasha Village is so rich. We are definitely not that fast. We haven't even got it in town yet."

An Wenjing spoke in a low voice, and had no objection to Chen Hui's suggestion.

When I start working, I will go to Dasa Village every day.

You can bring bed sheets and other things with you, wash and dry them at noon, and it won’t be a hassle to take them home after they are dry.

"If that's the case, I guess we'll have to use a lot of water and electricity from my aunt's house."

"When the time comes, we'll pay the electricity bill to my aunt," said An Wenjing.

"My aunt won't accept it. She will just beat me up!"

"You can give it to her in the form of something, like buying some lard or pork. It's the same thing if you save the money here for her." Chen Hui said.

"Hey! I'm already looking forward to it!"

"It's still okay now, but in winter, I'll have to stand by the river in the cold wind and wash clothes in the freezing cold water. I'm scared just thinking about it."

An Wenjing said this while rubbing her hands unconsciously.

An Wenyi often wet the bed when she was little, and she had to go to the river to wash almost every day.

"My sister cried because of the cold last year." An Wenyi looked up and joined the conversation.

"What's going on? Tell your brother-in-law." Chen Hui said with concern.

An Wenjing is a very optimistic person.

She was so cold that she cried, which showed that she really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not crying!" An Wenjing stretched out her arms and covered the mouth of An Wenyi in front of her.

An Wenyi struggled for a while and finally managed to get her sister's hand away, but was covered by Chen Hui again.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing!"

An Wenyi was left speechless by this young couple.

Especially Chen Hui, it was clearly she who asked him to speak.

"Little brat, what kind of candy do you want to buy when you go to the county town today?"

"Why don't you buy some candy instead? Can your brother-in-law buy you a popsicle?"

Seeing that An Wenjing didn't want to talk about this, Chen Hui naturally changed the topic.

"Popsicle?! Okay, okay! I've never eaten a popsicle before!"

An Wenyi's thoughts were immediately distracted, and he was looking forward to the taste of the popsicle all the way.

As soon as I entered the county town, I saw a man selling popsicles on a bicycle.

Chen Hui shouted loudly and sped up on his bike to chase after him.

"Comrade, are you buying popsicles for the children?" The popsicle seller heard the noise, stopped his car and asked.

"This is my sister, give me three." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"This little girl is so cute, just like the dolls in the New Year pictures."

Because it’s their own small business, the faces of the people selling popsicles are much more cheerful than those in the department store.

While talking and laughing, he took out a popsicle and handed it to An Wenyi.

"Wow!" An Wenyi swallowed his saliva, excitedly took the popsicle and took a bite.

He tilted his head and excitedly said to An Wenjing behind him: "Sister! This is delicious!"

"Take two more. How much?" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"one cent!"

An Wenjing took the two popsicles handed to her.

Chen Hui paid the money, took one, and brought the two sisters to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After selling a pound of fruit candies, he gave one to the clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative to improve his impression of him, and then he said, "I want to buy a washing machine!"

The hand that takes the person's hand is short.

The clerk looked happy and said with a smile: "The washing machine is upstairs. I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

"it is good!"

Chen Hui smiled and nodded.

The first floor of the supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t look very impressive, it just sells some daily necessities.

I didn’t expect that the second floor is actually a luxury goods distribution center.

The small area is simply divided into several areas by different electrical appliances.

In addition to washing machines, there are refrigerators, televisions, bicycles, sewing machines, radios,
The eyes of An Wenjing and her sister widened and they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!!!"

"Do you want a twin-tub or a single-tub washing machine?" the clerk asked.

An Wenjing was still wondering, what is a double cylinder? What is a single cylinder?

Then Chen Hui said with certainty: "Double-cylinder!"

“The twin-cylinder ones will be more expensive.”

"We have Goldfish and Power brands in stock. Goldfish is six hundred, Power is eight hundred."

"If you want something better, you can order Panasonic, but you have to wait for ten days and it costs more than a thousand yuan!"

The clerk gave a brief introduction and took Chen Hui to the area where washing machines were displayed.

Chen Hui followed the clerk and suddenly felt An Wenjing pulling him hard from behind.

I turned around not knowing what was going on, only to see An Wenjing frowning and shaking her head slightly at me, looking at me with disdain for the washing machine being too expensive!
Chen Hui was amused by the way she thought it was too expensive but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

He leaned close to An Wenjing's ear and whispered, "It's okay, I have enough money."

He put his arm around An Wenjing's shoulders, took An Wenyi's hand and went over to the store, and asked the clerk, "Is there any difference between this 600 yuan one and this 800 yuan one?"

"The functions are similar, just the brands are different."

"I heard that this powerful one can dehydrate the skin more, but I haven't used it, so I don't really know."

After all, there is no performance requirement, and the clerks are too lazy to speak eloquently, so they just tell the truth.

He even took the initiative to suggest that Chen Hui just buy one for 600 yuan.

"."

Chen Hui hesitated for a while and chose a Goldfish brand washing machine for 600 yuan.

It’s not that I can’t afford the extra two hundred dollars.

But according to the quality of household appliances this era, this 600 yuan product should be able to be used for more than ten or twenty years without any problems.

By then you can switch to a fully automatic one.

The two hundred yuan saved can be used to buy an extra bicycle for An Wenjing in September.

This saves her from riding her bike to work, and you have to walk wherever you want to go.

There is a delivery service for large appliances such as washing machines.

Paid the money and issued the invoice.

Chen Hui led the way on a bicycle, and the deliveryman followed on a tricycle behind and delivered the goods to Chen Hui's doorstep.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. Have a candy!" Chen Hui said, grabbing a few candies and giving them to the delivery master.
