After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 397 Queuing up

After having lunch at her parents' house, Jiang Xia took a nap for an hour before getting up. Jiang's father and mother both went to work.

Jiang's mother packed two red, white and blue plastic bags for Jiang Xia to take home.

One bag contains baby clothes, quilts, and diapers that she asked workers in the factory to help make.

They are all made of the softest and breathable fabrics that she personally selected.

The factory started holidaying in January, and now it’s relatively free at the end of the year, so I’m busy catching up on summer clothes when I come back.

The other bag was maternity clothes she bought for Jiang Xia. It would be time to show her pregnancy in a while, so she prepared some in advance.

Jiang Xia left two chickens and a pound of sea cucumbers for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother. She asked her aunt to kill the chickens and put them in the refrigerator, and then left with Zhou Chenglei.

The couple first went to license the tractor.

There isn't enough time in the morning to do this.

Fortunately, I submitted the information to apply for the license before, and the license has been prepared, so you can apply for it directly when you arrive.

After playing cards, the two went to Friendship Mall. Jiang Xia wanted to buy underwear. She went in to buy it herself and let Zhou Chenglei look at other things.

Today's underwear doesn't have much style. Fortunately, she is still young and good-looking, so she doesn't need any functions.

I picked out some of the most comfortable vest-style sports bras and old-fashioned cotton ones.

After shopping, she went to find Zhou Chenglei.

Jiang Xia saw something in his hand: "What did you buy?"

"Clothes and a hair dryer."

Jiang Xia smiled: "Did you buy a hair dryer?"

Out of stock every time I come here.

Jiang Xia took a look and saw that he bought her two more sets of clothes.

"There are too many clothes. No need to buy them. My mother gave me another bag today."

"These two sets are not that thick. You can wear them when the weather is not that cold." When he saw them, he thought Jiang Xia looked good in them, so he bought them.

Jiang Xia: "There is no room in the wardrobe now."

"There's still a spare room on the second floor. Then I'll build a few more wardrobes to put clothes in."

He took the things in Jiang Xia's hands and carried them himself.

Jiang Xia asked: "Did you buy the water heater?"

"Out of stock."

Jiang's father knew that they planned to buy a water heater, so he said it should be out of stock.

It's still winter, and water heaters are selling well.

The main reason is that the only domestically produced water heaters in this era are Yuhuan direct-discharge water heaters, and the four major families of water heaters have not yet appeared.

Zhou Chenglei asked the other party when the goods would be available, and the other party said that the goods would be available tomorrow, first come first served.

Jiang's father said he would buy one for them, but Zhou Chenglei wanted to buy three, or at least two.

One on the first floor and one on the second floor.

He thought about asking someone to help him buy it, so as not to trouble Jiang's father.

The couple went to buy three more chandeliers and saw electric fans for sale. There were three diamond-branded pedestal fans and one ceiling fan.

Zhou Chenglei took out the industrial tickets without hesitation and bought them all.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to buy electric fans in the summer, and you would have to wait in long queues.

It's already past five o'clock when things are done.

Normally Zhou Chenglei would go home, but now it's dark at six o'clock and he can't see the road clearly, so he can't drive the tractor so steadily.

He also took Jiang Xia with him, so he didn't take the risk and simply went back to Jiang's house to stay for one night.

Zhou Chenglei called back to the village and told his mother that he would not go home until tomorrow and would stay at Jiang's house tonight.

Then the next day he got up at 4:30 and queued up to buy an electric water heater.

When he arrived, it was not yet five o'clock, and there was no one else there yet.

There were no people on the street.

Probably because it's very cold today.

After waiting for a while, Father Jiang also came to line up.

Zhou Chenglei: "Dad, it's so cold, why did you get up so early? Go back! I can just line up here."

Jiang's father smiled and said, "I get up early every day to exercise. It's okay. We lined up together and bought an extra one. We have it upstairs and downstairs." While eating, he learned that the house built by his daughter and son-in-law had three floors, so he thought of a water heater. It's not enough.

Anyway, he gets up early to exercise every day and comes to line up.

So Weng and his son-in-law stood in the biting cold wind, talking and waiting.

In the dim sky, you can see the breath of the two people talking.

After a while, people came, and then people came one after another.

By daybreak, the queue was already very long.

At half past six, someone came to the team to sell steamed buns.

Zhou Chenglei bought steamed buns, and Jiang's father reminded him not to buy too many, as Jiang's mother would bring breakfast.

Zhou Chenglei bought four steamed buns, two for each of Jiang's father.

The steaming buns are not that cold after you eat them.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

At 7:30, Jiang's mother drove Jiang Xia over and brought them breakfast.

The mother and daughter got out of the car and said to them: "There is breakfast in the car. You can go and eat it in the car! Let's queue up."

Jiang Xia said again: "Dad, you go to work after breakfast! Mom, you do the same, I'll just line up."

"Okay." Jiang's father responded, took off the scarf around his neck, and wrapped it around his daughter's neck.

A reporter on the way to work saw it and quickly took a photo of the scene.

Jiang's father wrapped a scarf around his daughter before getting in the car to have breakfast with his son-in-law.

Neither of them had eaten enough just now, so they only ate two steamed buns to fill their stomachs.

The people in the team looked at the car, then at the mother and daughter.

Do you have to get up early in the morning and queue up to buy a water heater if you are so rich?

Some people even recognized Father Jiang and were even more shocked!

Everyone in the queue knows that the first ones arrive before five o'clock!

After Zhou Chenglei finished his breakfast, he returned to the queue.

Jiang's mother told them to be careful on the way home, and then went to work with Jiang's father.

As soon as eight o'clock arrives, the shop opens.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei each bought a water heater.

Someone asked the couple why they bought two. Zhou Chenglei said: "One is for my parents."

Then he carried a water heater in one hand, returned to Jiang's house with Jiang Xia, drove the tractor back to the village, and stopped by the textile factory.

The fabrics ordered by Jiang Xia have come out and they took them home smoothly.

It was only after nine o'clock when we returned to the village.

Mother Zhou is stuffing sausages.

The yard was covered with pieces of bacon, alternately fat and thin.

Jiang Xia washed her hands, put on an apron and sleeves, and stepped forward to help.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "I made pig's feet vinegar, you go and eat some."

Jiang Xia: "We'll eat it later. Are all the bacon and sausages made from one pig?"

"Almost, some lean meat was left. The pork leg meat was kept in the refrigerator at the purchasing place to keep it fresh. Ah Lei said that it was kept to make pork jerky, and the pig head, pig meat and pig offal were distributed to the neighbors. I left some pig meat and a pork belly. , I plan to make pork belly chicken today. Your sister-in-law originally wanted to sell half of the pig and save the other half for bacon. I will also take the other half and make it into bacon and sausage. Isn’t it okay for Ah Lei to give it as a gift at the end of the year? deliver."

"We still have a pig. If we kill it the day before we move to the new house, we won't have to buy pork. The remaining half will be given to your elder brother."

"Okay." Jiang Xia responded.

Jiang Xia was an expert at stuffing sausages. After Zhou Chenglei moved everything, he came to help.

The three of them were all quick workers, and they could fill dozens of kilograms of meat in an hour.

Zhou Chenglei took it to the rooftop of the new house to dry it.

Zhou's mother took some toothpicks to poke some small holes in the sausage. In the living room, she saw several fans on the floor, "Why did you buy so many fans?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said: "It just so happens that our family has one in each room, and the ceiling fan is installed in the dining room. When summer comes, it won't be hot when eating or sleeping."

Jiang Xia imagined for a moment that installing a ceiling fan wouldn't look ugly. There's nothing that can be done about it. Practicality comes first. It's really hot to eat in summer!

"This costs too much money. We are not afraid of the heat even when we are old." Zhou's mother felt sorry for her son who spent too much money on them, but she felt warm in her heart.

My son and daughter-in-law are filial, buying the best for them and never leaving them a share of anything. How can I be unhappy?

Early the next morning, the people from the production team personally delivered the newspapers ordered by Zhou Chenglei and said excitedly:

"A Lei, Xiao Xia, you are in the newspaper!"
