Chapter 208 Buying a TV

After everyone finished the dinner lively and sent off Xia Nuan's classmates who came to visit, it was night time.

Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo were busy picking up the dishes and chopsticks left by everyone at the dining table. Seeing this, Xia Nuan quickly rolled up her sleeves to help.

"Nuan Nuan, you're pregnant, and you've been tired all day. Go wash up and rest. There's me and your dad here, so don't worry about it." Wang Ximei stopped Xia Nuan, who was about to help, and said.

"Then how can I do it? Mom, you and Dad went out to buy groceries today. After walking for a day, I'm already very tired. I just stayed at home and read a book and waited for you. Why am I so tired?" Xia Nuan also insisted. wash the dishes,
For a while, the two were at a stalemate, Chu Tianling hurriedly picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

"Mom and Dad, Nuan Nuan, you all go to rest, I will wash these dishes."

Wang Ximei and Xia Nuan laughed out loud when they saw Chu Tianling in a hurry.

After a busy day, Chu Tianling and Xia Nuan finally had time to talk quietly together.

Chu Tianling and Xia Nuan leaned against the head of the bed, and Xia Nuan was half lying on Chu Tianling's shoulder, flipping through today's newspaper while her hands were free.

"Nuan Nuan, how are you feeling today? Do you feel like vomiting?" Chu Tianling asked with concern.

"I'm much better. I seldom feel like vomiting now. Don't worry." Xia Nuan replied.

Chu Tianling shook Xia Nuan's hand reassuringly, seeing the newspaper in Xia Nuan's hand,
"Oh, by the way, I just remembered when I saw you reading the newspaper. Today, there are reporters in our school who came to take pictures, and they came with a big camera,"

"Really?" Chu Tianling's words aroused Xia Nuan's interest. According to the time, it is not yet the time to use digital cameras, so the cameras he saw used by reporters must be big and bulky.

"Did the reporter go to your school to interview you?" Xia Nuan joked with Chu Tianling,

"Which round will I be interviewed by the superiors?" Chu Tianling replied while squeezing Xia Nuan's arms,
Xia Nuan listened to him and turned the newspaper with a smile.

Chu Tianling looked at Xia Nuan's serious appearance, and sighed, "My daughter-in-law just loves to study."

Xia Nuan also laughed, "It's not that I like to study." For the first time, Xia Nuan talked with Chu Tianling about his future plans in detail.

"I'm not studying English now. I thought, if I learn a few more foreign languages, I can graduate with more than just a bachelor's degree in English."

"Besides, I was thinking, now that the time of national turmoil is over and the college entrance examination has begun to resume, then tell me, is there still a need for faster development in the future?"

Xia Nuan talked about the topic of national development while chatting.

Chu Tianling nodded, motioning for Xia Nuan to continue.

"So I think that after I graduate, I can not only do the job of translating documents in the office, but I can consider applying the knowledge I have learned to a place that is more beneficial to the country. You are right Is it?" Xia Nuan asked.

"Of course, now that the country is developing rapidly, not to mention your schools and majors, even our military academy is changing policies with each passing day." Chu Tianling also expressed his agreement with Xia Nuan's statement.

"Yes, so I think that after I graduate, I can become a diplomat who specializes in foreign affairs visits or auxiliary translation for international conferences. This will not only realize my ideals, but also maximize what I have learned. "Chu Tianling was a little surprised.

He has always known that Xia Nuan is a good student with excellent character and learning, because they grew up together, so it can be said that they know Xia Nuan very well.

But he didn't expect Xia Nuan to have such big ambitions.

Chu Tianling excitedly said to Xia Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, you are really good, you can do it, I believe you can do it!"

"Pfft..." Xia Nuan laughed out loud looking at Chu Tianling's stupid look.

But it's nice to have someone behind you to support you all the time.

The next day was Sunday, both Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling rested at home, and Chu Tianling got up early as usual to go out to exercise.

Xia Nuan woke up later and saw Xia Zhongguo on the balcony taking care of the two pots of spider plants that Xia Nuan had brought home before. Xia Nuan watched him wipe the leaves of the spider plants carefully with a kettle.

I yawned and walked over and said, "Morning, Dad."

Xia Zhongguo looked at Xia Nuan with a smile, "It's getting warmer, go and have breakfast, your mother cooked porridge for you."

"Okay." Xia Nuan replied while walking towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Wang Ximei had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for Xia Nuan. Seeing Xia Nuan walk in, she hurriedly filled the porridge and brought it up.

"Nuannuan, my mother put red dates in the porridge today, it is good for your health, drink it while it is hot",
Xia Nuan also prepared breakfast for Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo, and when she was about to eat first, Chu Tianling also came back from her morning exercise.

Xia Nuan asked him to turn on the radio in the living room and listen to it. After Chu Tianling adjusted the radio, they sat at the dining table together and prepared to have breakfast.

"Nuan Nuan, why don't we go to the street to buy a TV and go home today." Chu Tianling suggested to Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked why he suddenly wanted a TV.

"I see that in order to understand the current affairs and the news, you have to read the newspaper before going to bed every day, and listen to the radio when you get up early. Why don't you just buy a TV, which is convenient for you to watch whenever you want."

Hearing what Chu Tianling said, Xia Nuan felt that this proposal made sense.

In fact, if she wants to know some major events, she can directly see them by searching in the system, but her system is a one-way model after all, and the answer will only be available when you want to search.

But buying a TV is different. First, she doesn’t know much about what’s happening in China in this era. Second, the TV is also very convenient. Sometimes I forget to buy a newspaper and it won’t delay things.

Anyway, Xia Nuan has been working as a part-time translator and saved some money, so she can afford it without using Chu Tianling's salary.

After breakfast, Chu Tianling accompanied Xia Nuan to the street to pick out a TV. Originally, Chu Tianling planned to take Xia Nuan away on a bicycle, but after thinking about it, it was too dangerous for Xia Nuan to be pregnant now. Just a short walk to the bus station.

When they arrived at the department store that sold TV sets, Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling didn't go directly to buy TV sets, but walked around the place selling snacks and clothing together hand in hand for a while.

The department store is completely different from when Xia Nuan used to go shopping in the market when she was a child. There are old windows that she has only seen in TV dramas before, and there are various candied dried fruits that are weighed.

Chu Tianling wants to buy some new clothes for Xia Nuan, because Xia Nuan's belly is getting bigger and bigger as her pregnancy gets longer, and she needs some loose and comfortable clothes suitable for pregnant women.

And now Xia Nuan likes to eat sour things very much, so they bought a lot of sour plums together, and told Xia Nuan to chew these small snacks when they went back.

Xia Nuan saw that Chu Tianling had bought more and more things for her, and was afraid that she would not be able to take them all when she bought a TV, so she hurriedly said that enough is enough, and I can buy it again next time.

This made Chu Tianling stop his "buying spree".

The two came to the area where TVs were sold. In fact, there is nothing to choose from today's TVs. They are all the same size, and there is no difference between widescreen and narrow screen, high-definition or not, so they bought them quickly.

Leaving the department store full of retro atmosphere for Xia Nuan, the two walked on the way home.

When they got home, Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo had already started preparing dinner. Because Xia Nuan is now pregnant, Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo would cook meat dishes every day to supplement Xia Nuan's nutrition, but Xia Nuan was worried that if she blindly ate it, it would cause The fetus in the body is too large. I used to read the news that many mothers had dystocia because the baby was too big and it was too difficult to give birth.

So Xia Nuan now controls her food intake a little bit, not daring to eat too much.

After dinner, of course, it's time to watch TV.

The whole family was in front of the TV. Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling fiddled with the TV, plugged it in, and the TV would start playing programs.

Since Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo seldom watched TV before, and the TV programs were all news, they felt a little bored and wanted to take a rest.

They asked Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling to rest early and go to wash and sleep.

When Chu Tianling went out to buy a TV during the day, he originally wanted to buy it for Xia Nuan with his salary, but Xia Nuan had already prepared his own money and paid the fee first.

This made Chu Tianling feel a little uncomfortable, so he took advantage of the time after Nuan's parents went back to rest, and sat beside Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan saw that Chu Tianling was not very emotional after buying the TV, and thought he was tired or that the TV was a bit expensive, so she asked him if he wanted to take a rest.

Chu Tianling shook his head and said, "I'm not tired of Nuan Nuan, I just want to talk to you."

Hearing what he said, Xia Nuan also looked away from the TV and looked at him.

"Today, I wanted to buy this TV set for you with the money I saved, but I didn't expect you to preempt it," Chu Tianling said.

Xia Nuan felt a little funny.

"I thought it was a big deal."

"Why, do you feel ashamed to be pre-paid by me?" Xia Nuan teased him.

"No, no..." Chu Tianling hastily denied.

"I think that you have been so good since you were a child, and your academic performance is good. Now that you are a college student, you have a lot of ideas about the future.

But now that I have a salary in the military academy, my money should be spent on you. You are still pregnant, and I want you to work part-time by yourself and spend money on shopping. I feel very uncomfortable. "

Xia Nuan didn't expect that Chu Tianling would think so much about the matter of her paying for a TV set. While feeling shocked, she was still very moved.

"Why do you think that way?" Xia Nuan comforted her.

"When we get married and become husband and wife, we should share the blessings and share the difficulties.

Moreover, although you have a salary in the military academy now, I can't do nothing every day and just rely on your salary to maintain our family.

What's more, I don't feel tired doing part-time jobs. I can review my professional knowledge and improve my translation skills. Why not do it? "

Xia Nuan told Chu Tianling these words, afraid that he would still feel guilty, so she joked with him.

"What's more, they pay more wages!"

After talking, Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling laughed together, and Chu Tianling pinched Xia Nuan's face with a smile on his face.

"My Nuan Nuan is really good, I can make money, and I have a good tongue."
