Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 32 Ice cream, watermelon, life-saving air conditioner

After walking around the village and talking about things, Wu Yuan returned home early.

By the way, I picked up two large watermelons of about ten kilograms from the melon stall outside the village and took them back.

Return home.

Yang Luoyan was taking Xiong Wen with him to rest on a mat under the pergola in the courtyard.

I couldn't stay in the house at all.

Xiong Wen rolled around on the mat and couldn't sleep at all.

When I saw my uncle holding a big watermelon in his hand, I immediately jumped up and said, "Uncle, watermelon!"

Wu Yuan carried the watermelon directly to the well, then diverted water to pressure the well, preparing to bring some cold well water up to ice the watermelon.

"Uncle, let me help you press the water."

Seeing the food, the children are full of energy.

Wu Yuan gave him the handle of the well, but the child couldn't push it down even though he tried his best to nurse.

On the contrary, I was exhausted and sweating all over.

Seeing Yang Luoyan calling him distressedly: "Xiong Wen, come here and let your uncle do it. You can't push it down."

Xiong Wen gritted his teeth, but I insisted on suppressing it, for the sake of watermelon!

Wu Yuan also touched the handle of the well, applied more force to the child, and soon drew a large basin of cold water.

He carried it under the pergola, sat down on the mat, rolled out a watermelon from the net bag, and immersed it entirely in the well water.

Then he turned around and asked, "Where is Miaomiao?"

Yang Luoyan said happily: "She can't wait to go to the countryside to sell meat after getting the vegetable money."

Braving the noon sun to buy pork, Lin Miaomiao was indeed as big a foodie as she was when she was a child.

Now that he is older, he is reserved on the outside, but he is still a complete glutton on the inside.

"Popsicle! Popsicle!"

At this moment, the shouts of people selling popsicles came from outside.

Wu Yuan stood up and said: "Xiao Wen, do you want to eat popsicles?"

"I want to." This child wanted to eat everything, so he temporarily forgot the watermelon for the popsicles and followed Wu Yuan outside.

Calling for a bicycle selling popsicles, Wu Yuan spent a long time picking out an ice cream for Xiao Wen, which cost 20 cents.

By the way, he also picked out a 2-cent ice cream for Yang Luoyan, and for himself, a 1-cent mung bean popsicle.

As for anything worth less than 10 cents, don’t look at it at all.

It cost a total of fifty cents.

After shopping, they returned under the pergola. The two adults and one child each opened the ice cream popsicles and ate them, as if they had forgotten that it was midsummer.

At first Yang Luoyan insisted that Wu Yuan eat ice cream and she eat mung beans.

Wu Yuan said that he only likes mung beans.

So Yang Luoyan took a bite of the ice cream and handed it to Wu Yuan to take a lick.

He licked it back and forth until his face turned red.

Fortunately, the kid Xiong Wen can't understand.

Wu Yuan took the opportunity to tell Yang Luoyan that he needed to spend money to buy a planer.

Yang Luoyan agreed without saying a word, and added: "Even if you don't mention it, I plan to tell you about it tonight. In the two months since you left, there have been 20 more orders for Simmons beds and high-end modular cabinets."

There are 10 more orders. Not to mention electric planing, even the current manpower is a bit tight."

Wu Yuan nodded: "Let's deal with the planing issue first. I'll help out with more manpower."

While I was talking, I finished eating the popsicles and the watermelon was almost frozen.

Wu Yuan picked up the watermelon, placed it on the small square table, cut it in half with a knife.

The bright red flesh of the melon made Xiong Wen's little eyes shine.

"Quickly cut it into big pieces and give it to the child. See how worried Xiaowen is." Yang Luoyan said with a smile.

Wu Yuan stabbed Xiong Wen first.

The child's face was full of melon pulp and he didn't even know it.

It seemed as if the entire summer's happiness was contained in the big piece of watermelon in his hand.

Wu Yuan handed a piece to his wife and took a piece himself to eat.

In his impression, summer happiness includes not only ice cream popsicles and watermelon, but also life-saving air conditioning.

Seeing his wife sweating profusely but bearing it silently, Wu Yuan mentioned it again: "Daughter-in-law, let's buy an air conditioner and a refrigerator."

Yang Luoyan hesitated and said, "How much will it cost?"

"Add the two together, at most five or six thousand."

Wu Yuan plans to buy a Chunlan air conditioner. The price is definitely cheaper than imported ones. The compressor is still imported and durable.

As for the refrigerator, I buy Wanbao, which is a best-selling brand these days.

Yang Luoyan thought: "You can buy air conditioners, but forget about refrigerators? We always have power outages here, and no matter how good the things are, they can't be stored in the refrigerator."

A power outage is fatal to a refrigerator.

But Wu Yuan still insisted: "Buy it. A refrigerator costs only a thousand yuan, which is not much money. When the child is born and needs breast milk, he will be unable to live without you. If there is a refrigerator, he can express breast milk into a bottle.

Store it in the refrigerator. When the child is hungry, cover it with warm water and drink it."

This is an irresistible reason.

When it comes to buying a refrigerator, you really shouldn’t give up eating because of choking.

But when he thought about the constant power outages, Wu Yuan even wanted to get a diesel generator back.

Forget it.

The appointment of a daughter-in-law cannot be allowed.

After deciding to install the air conditioner, Wu Yuan finished the watermelon, cleaned up briefly, and went out.

My main hall is an old house.

If the air conditioner is installed directly, the cooling space will be too large, and the reed roof will not insulate, so the cooling effect will be very poor.

So the only way was to raise the ceilings of the three main rooms.

It not only reduces the cooling space, but also forms a thermal insulation buffer zone with the roof.

Once the air conditioner is turned on, the effect will be much better.

I rode a big bar to the county and found a store selling gypsum boards. I ordered a batch of gypsum boards based on the area of ​​my home and asked the boss to deliver them to my door.

After ordering the gypsum board, Wu Yuan took a detour and went to a department store, where he directly ordered a Tai Chunlan 2P air conditioner and a Wanbao refrigerator.

Chunlan air conditioner costs RMB 4,800, which is about as expected.

The Wanbao refrigerator costs RMB 2,000, which is at least 20% more expensive than I thought!

Wu Yuan finally felt the power of this round of price breakthroughs in June.

After buying these two electrical appliances, Wu Yuan did not go home directly.

It’s already here, so I might as well order the electric planer and get it ready as soon as possible, so as to avoid the need for Lao Dai and Master Chi to get into trouble again and affect the work efficiency.

An ordinary electric planer costs 1,100 yuan, and two of them cost 2,020 yuan.

In addition to the basic props and grinding wheels, everything else must be purchased separately.

In one trip, I could get away 10,000 yuan directly.

Although the gypsum board and electric planer were both used, Wu Yuan did not pay in cash.

But the money goes really fast.

When the sun went down, Wu Yuan took 20,000 yuan and set off for his father-in-law's house.

Just when he was thinking about bringing a cigarette and a bottle of wine from home, Yang Luoyan pointed to the uneaten big watermelon he brought back at noon and said, "Just take that one."

Wu Yuan couldn't believe it and joked: "Daughter-in-law, you are really my parents' daughter."

But seeing Xiong Wen nervous about the big watermelon, Wu Yuan waved his hand: "I won't bring the watermelon. I'll buy it when I pass by the village headquarters."

When passing by the village headquarters, Wu Yuan not only bought two large watermelons, but also took two bottles of wine and two cigarettes.

Yang Luoyan felt sorry for herself and was reluctant to spend money.

But I can't really deny her face.

Besides, with his current net worth, he doesn't care about tobacco and alcohol.

If you have some spare votes, you can vote. We don’t force it, the main thing is to let people see the strength of the Yifei ancestors!
