Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 82 Happy as New Year
"Oh my god, brother! Did you buy an electric fan? That's awesome!"

Chen Lingling, who was feeling wilted in the heat of the room, saw the electric fan and immediately came over excitedly, stretching her head to watch Chen Luyang unpacking the fan.
Junjun jumped onto the stool and looked at the electric fan with his bright black eyes in great curiosity, his face full of excitement.

"Uncle, please plug it in and show me!"

"Right away! Don't rush me!"

Chen Luyang placed the electric fan on the table, plugged it in, and pressed the switch!
The next moment, the fan blades turned, and a cool breeze blew out with a "whoosh".

"Uncle, this wind is so cool!"

Junjun stood happily in front of the fan, with his hands on his waist, his belly sticking out, and the furry hair on his forehead was blown around, making him look like a happy little monkey.

Chen Lingling was happily enjoying the fan, and suddenly she clapped at Chen Luyang frantically, yelling:
"Brother, go buy me a popsicle! I want to eat it while enjoying the breeze!"

Junjun quickly raised his hand as well: "Me too! I want the sesame sauce flavor!"

Chen Luyang looked at the two shameless people speechlessly.

"I bought you a fan, so I also have to buy you two popsicles?"

"I owe you two!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling smiled and pulled Chen Luyang's arms left and right, acting coquettishly:

"Brother, just buy me a popsicle. I want an original flavor popsicle!"

Junjun also followed suit and grabbed Chen Luyang's other arm: "Uncle is the best, uncle, I want to eat popsicles ~ sesame sauce flavor is fine~~"

Looking at the two bastards acting shamelessly and coquettishly,

Chen Luyang's tough, steely heart trembled slightly.
He gnashed his teeth and cursed:

"It's my fault for both of you!"

finished,

Chen Luyang rushed out of the yard and ran straight to the store at the entrance of the factory street. He bought two popsicles without hesitation.

He was afraid that the popsicles would melt in the heat, so he ran home in anger as fast as he could. Finally, sweating all over, he gave the popsicles to the two little ancestors.

"Brother~ you are so nice!"

"Uncle is the best in the world!"

Look at the two bastards eating popsicles and enjoying the coolness of the fan.

Although Chen Luyang was cursing, he was actually very happy in his heart.

This money is spent... comfortably!
"Brother...try it, it's delicious!"

"Uncle, take a bite of my popsicle too!!!"

……

After a while, Chen's parents came back from visiting and saw the electric fan in the room. They were surprised and said:
"Where did this electric fan come from?"

Chen Luyang said proudly: "I bought it!"

"Did you buy it?"

Chen's mother's eyes widened: "Why are you buying this? How much does it cost?"

Chen Luyang: "150 yuan."

Chen's mother's tone changed: "How much?"

Chen Luyang: "150."

Chen's mother's eyes went dark. "You spent 150 yuan on an electric fan! How could you be such a spendthrift?"

"Do you know how much meat you can buy with 150 yuan?"

Chen Luyang shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

The meals and meat at home were all bought by Chen's parents, so he really didn't know the prices of the vegetables.

"Mom, I have a high salary, and I will have money again next month." Chen Luyang said optimistically.

"Even if you have a high salary, you can't spend it like this! If your father and I spent it like you, you three sisters would have starved to death long ago." Chen Luyang knew that Chen's mother was stingy with money, so he said with a smile:
"Now that our living conditions are better and I have a salary, I'll buy a fan to keep warm."

"When I get my salary next month, I'll take you shopping for clothes! Let's dress up nicely and go dancing!"

"Get lost! It's useless to talk about this!" Chen's mother cursed directly.

"I was worried about saving money for you to get married and Xiaoling to have a dowry, and you're spending so much money!"

Chen Luyang quickly said, "Mom, let's make a deal first. You and Dad keep the money for yourselves, and I will earn the money to marry a wife myself. If I can't earn enough, I won't get married."

Chen Lingling was not to be outdone: "Mom, I don't need you to save up for a dowry!"

Here, the Chen family's mother and son, mother and daughter are discussing the issue of future marriage.
Father Chen had his hands behind his back, looking at the electric fan in front of him with a scrutinizing attitude.

Even though he didn't say a word, Junjun noticed something was wrong and asked:

"Grandpa, you don't want to take this electric fan apart, do you?"

There is nothing in the house, big or small, that has to do with machines that Chen's father has not dismantled.

Junjun finally got to enjoy some fresh air. What if grandpa broke the electric fan?
"cut!"

Father Chen rolled his eyes and said, "This thing is not as good as my palm-leaf fan."

Hearing this, Chen Luyang quickly took out a brand new palm-leaf fan from his bag and handed it over with a smile.

"Dad, I knew you weren't used to the fan, so I bought you a new one!"

Father Chen was choked back by his words.

He took the palm-leaf fan and looked up at Chen Luyang in disbelief:
"Bought for me?"

Chen Luyang said happily: "Yes, Dad! I bought it for you."

"Try it, the wind is so strong that it blows really hard."

Father Chen's chubby face instantly looked like a narcissus that had stopped pretending and decided to bloom!

His son bought him something!!!
Seeing Chen's father Hongpu's face happy like a child, Chen Luyang took out the radio again like showing off a treasure.
"Dad, I also bought you a radio. This time, let's listen to the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties! No need to listen to those Japanese things anymore."

"You kid, this is a waste of money!"

Father Chen held a palm-leaf fan in his right hand and a radio in his left. Although he was cursing, his smile was so strong that his back teeth were almost visible.

"Isn't it my duty to spend money on my good father~"

Chen Luyang said cheerfully, "When I get my salary, I'll buy two bottles of good wine and we can have a drink together."

"You little bastard, you only have a nice mouth!"

Father Chen's eyes were almost narrowed into slits with joy.

Although Chen's mother scolded Chen Luyang for spending money recklessly, she was a person of integrity and she made a big move in the evening by frying a large piece of meat.

After dinner, Chen's mother picked a few sand apples, cut them into thin slices, added sugar and boiled water, put it in the cellar to cool, and then brought it out for the family to drink.

The family sat together in the evening, enjoying the fan, drinking sweet and sour sand apple water, and listening to the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties on the new radio.

Chen Luyang happily squatted on the ground picking beans.

suddenly,

Chen Lingling let her hair down in a dramatic way, and when the fan blew her hair up, she took crazy photos of Chen Luyang:
"Brother! Look at me! Am I beautiful now?"

Chen Luyang looked at his silly sister and nodded frantically: "Beautiful, so beautiful, even more beautiful than the movie actresses in the picture magazines!"

"This comrade has good vision!" Chen Lingling gave Chen Luyang a look of approval sincerely.

was saying,

Chen Luyang saw Junjun curiously stretching out his finger to poke into the fan, and he was so scared that he shouted:
"Sun Junjun, you can't stick your fingers into the fan, okay?"

"I'll cut off your fingers later!"
