Rebirth in the 1960s, starting from Chinese medicine

"Uncle Li, my dad asked me to send it here."

In the early morning of September 15th, Shen Yi ran over with gifts.

Li Chu looked at the stacks of red envelopes wrapped in red paper on the coffee table, and raised his finger.

"What's the matter, is this going to buy my daughter?"

"Uncle, you misunderstood, this is a bride price from our family." Shen Yi stood up suddenly as if his buttocks had been pricked by a needle, and waved his hands hastily.

There were quite a few people in the living room, Ding's parents, Ding's mother, sister, brother-in-law, and Ding Qiunan were all there, but they all just watched quietly, no one spoke.

Wen Hui just came out to say hello when she saw Shen Yi coming, and then ran to Wenxuan's room in the front yard.

"Okay, sit down. Since it's a bride price, I'll accept it, but I'll hand over the money to Huihui. What she wants to do with it in the future is her business."

Hearing that the future father-in-law agreed to accept it, Shen Yi was slightly relieved. To be honest, his father-in-law often likes to play cards, and he would not pick Wen Hui away from here until the wedding day. Completely relieved.

"Thank you Uncle. I still have this here." As he spoke, Shen Yi took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over.

"Uncle, this is a red envelope given to Xiaobao by me, my parents, and my grandfather."

"Well, I'll take the one that was given to our family, and thank you grandpa and your parents for me when I get back."

"I see, Uncle, you're welcome."

"How is the house tidying up?"

"We have basically everything we need to buy, except that Huihui and I have a little disagreement when it comes to buying a washing machine."

Hey, this made Li Chu look at this prospective son-in-law with admiration. How dare you tell me that you have a disagreement with my daughter.

"what happened?"

"Uncle like this, I want to buy a double-tub washing machine for my family, which can be washed and dried at the same time. I think it is more convenient, but Huihui thinks it is expensive, so I want to buy a single-tub washing machine. There's a little disagreement."

"Are you going to take her with you later to buy it?"

"Hey, I have this idea." Shen Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Then you two have disagreements and haven't reached an agreement, why do you take her?"

"We can talk slowly. I can't make my own decisions when buying such a large item. I always have to discuss it with two people before buying it."

Regardless of whether he deliberately said it to his fiancée's family, this attitude is not bad.

Mama Ding opened her mouth to say something, but Ding Qiunan, who was sitting next to her, saw her and quickly pulled her arm, signaling her not to speak yet.

Li Chu patted Xiao Hei lying at his feet, and said, "Go, go to the front yard and call Wen Hui over."

With a low voice of "Wang", Xiao Hei rushed out.

Within two minutes, Wen Hui opened the curtain and walked in.

"Dad, you called me. Hey, mom, grandparents, aunts and uncles, you are all here."

Li Wenhui glanced at her fiancé, then obediently took the little horse from Xiao Hei's mouth, and sat down in front of the coffee table.

Shen Yi moved his butt, originally wanted his fiancée to come and squeeze him on the sofa, but when he saw his father-in-law's face, he swallowed the words again.

"Hui Hui, Xiao Yi said that you two didn't talk about buying a washing machine together."

"Ah? He also said that?" Wen Hui glared at Shen Yi with some shame, nodded and said: "Well, isn't the one we use at home is a single tank, I think it's very useful, the double tank with After drying it, it will be so expensive all of a sudden, I don’t think it’s worth it.”

"Knowing that saving money is a good thing, but the situation is different from ours."

"Huh? Why is it different?"

"Our house has a yard to dry whether it is wet or dry. I remember that your house is on the fourth floor. If it is wet and dripping, where do you dry it? On the balcony? The water drips all over the ground, and the water drips to the outside. It's no wonder the people downstairs don't scold. So you can't compare that with ours.

According to Xiaoyi, it is much more convenient to buy a double-tank one. One side is washed thoroughly, and the other side is dried. "

Wenhui grew up in this kind of yard since she was a child, and she has never lived in an apartment building, so she doesn't know that although living in an apartment building is convenient, it is far worse than her home.

It's because she hasn't lived in the past and hasn't realized it yet. After she gets married, it will be strange if she can get used to it.

"Then...then how do other people's homes wash without a washing machine?"

"Catch the basin, hang the clothes on the drying rack on the balcony, and then connect a basin underneath, try to let the water drip into the basin."

"Ah? It's so troublesome." Li Wenhui's small face was wrinkled together.

"Didn't everyone say that it's convenient to live in an apartment building? Why is it so troublesome to do laundry?"

"There is a convenient place, Huihui." Shen Yi couldn't help it, and hurriedly said: "It is convenient to go to the bathroom, and there is heating in winter, and our yard is still connected to the gas pipe..."

The more he talked, the lower his voice became, and then he stopped embarrassingly.

And Li Wenhui looked at him as if asking him again, are you kidding me? Which of the things you mentioned don't exist in my house?

Mama Ding couldn't bear it any longer, she interjected, "Huihui, what Xiaoyi is talking about is indeed the benefits of living in a unit building. In a yard like ours, everyone queues up to go to the toilet outside. Yes, the water pipes are all in the yard, and we have to find a way to wrap the water pipes in winter, or they will freeze.

As for heating, except for the boiler your father bought in our house, we burn it ourselves, and other people's houses rely on briquette stoves for heating in winter. As for the problem of dripping water from drying clothes, it happens in every family, not just yours. "

"Oh." Grandma said, and Wen Hui obediently responded.

"Okay, since you are going to buy a washing machine, you two should go quickly, Xiao Yi, do you have enough money?"

"That's enough, Uncle Li."

"That's enough Dad, if he's not enough, I'll have some here."

"That's all right, you two go quickly, come over for lunch at noon, I asked Xu Yang's family to bring food over just now."

"Understood, Dad. Let's go, Shen Yi."

"Okay, Uncle and Aunt Li, Uncle and Aunt, Grandpa and Grandpa, let's go out first."

"go quickly."

...

After the two of them left, Li Chu asked Ding Qiunan to collect the money wrapped in red paper on the table, and then handed it to Wen Hui.

"Xiao Chu, are you really going to let Huihui take all that money?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Then..." Mama Ding looked at the son-in-law, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so she could only wave her hands: "Forget it, I'm old, I can't keep up with your thoughts, you can figure it out yourself. "

Papa Ding was smoking a cigarette while sitting on the sidelines, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

In their family, basically as long as Mama Ding said it, Papa Ding would stop talking.
