Chapter 68: Warmth(1/2)
After finishing the meal amidst laughter and laughter, Zhang Haidong rushed to the cashier to pay the bill.
Huang Wenying suggested driving him home, but he politely declined.
Under Liu Shan's warm greeting, the task of sending Huang Wenying and her daughter home was still left to him.
Zhang Haidong slowly took a taxi and rushed home.
It was not yet nine o'clock, and the red neon light showed that the grocery store not far downstairs was still open.
Without thinking much, Zhang Haidong went straight into the store after getting off the car.
I will buy an electric heater for my daughter today, so that she can warm up sooner and be better.
The boss still sat there motionless, quietly drinking tea and reading the newspaper, as if there was always endless news in it.
Zhang Haidong envies this kind of life. It would be great if he could find a job like this when he gets old. Sitting here leisurely every day is not only relaxing, but also making some money for his children.
Nothing can be delayed.
After walking around, I finally found the electric heater shelf.
He knew that electric heaters consume more power, but in order to make his daughter sleep more comfortably, he still had to choose a high-power one. After all, the living room was not as windproof as the bedroom.
After selecting for a while, I finally picked up one of the electric heaters with a cartoon doll on the back and said, "Boss, how much does this cost?"
The boss who heard the sound put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his reading glasses, and then said: "This has a power of 2,500 watts, which is ten kilowatt hours of electricity per night. It is quite expensive. You have to first think about whether you can afford it."
Of course, the advantage is that it has high power and is very warm. For a bedroom of about 20 square meters, it can make your room as warm as floor heating, so you can have a good sleep."
Ten degrees a night?
Electricity costs 80 cents per unit, which is 8 yuan per night. That is 240 yuan per month.
Although it is a little more expensive, it can at least ensure that my daughter can spend the winter comfortably.
Thinking of the heat in Liu Shan's house, Zhang Haidong felt guilty again for no reason.
If I can work hard during the lost ten years, I can at least let my daughter live a stable life.
Like other children, he lived in a clean house with a big heater. He had eggs and meat every day, wore new clothes, and happily went to school in a car.
At least, after rebirth, I won’t see my daughter looking so skinny, malnourished, and unable to even eat well!
Now two hundred and forty yuan a month can make my daughter's life more comfortable, so why not?
Make up for everything my daughter has lost.
"That's it, more money, boss."
"Two hundred. This is the latest electric heater. It's very easy to use."
The boss finally stood up, as if he never stood up once a day.
"It's cheaper. It can't be a fixed price, right? I live in the self-built building behind you. After all, we are considered neighbors. I will come to patronize your business more in the future."
Zhang Haidong, who originally scorned bargaining, also tried to slowly start learning to bargain.
After all, what you save can be used to live your life.
If you can pick a hair, it's a hair.
"this……"
The boss said in a somewhat difficult tone: "I don't make any money from this, I sell it to you at the purchase price. Ah, forget it, for the sake of the neighbors, I'll give you twenty yuan cheaper, one hundred yuan cheaper."
Eight, that’s it.”
Perhaps remembering the last time Zhang Haidong bought gloves here, the boss finally relaxed.
No one will look down on a person who works hard for his family.
"Okay, help me get the original box and put it in it."
I still saved twenty yuan, which can at least cover the cost of ten meals for myself.
Zhang Haidong paid the money happily.
…
Dim lights came out from the cracks in the door, and in the corridor where various smells such as oil smoke, foot odor, and washing powder were mixed, the voices of the laborers talking at home could be clearly heard.
Although the environment is very poor and the winter is very cold.
But all of this is peaceful and beautiful in the eyes of the workers.
When they are sleepy or tired, such a small nest can satisfy all their requirements and fantasies.
Gently opening the door, Du Jing was sitting on the bed reading and writing while holding her daughter.
Seeing Zhang Haidong come in, Qianqian suddenly broke away from Du Jing's arms, trotted to Zhang Haidong, and said with a little blush on her cold face: "Dad, you are back!"
"Well, yes, my baby."
Zhang Haidong picked up his daughter and kissed her little face twice.
After spinning around happily for two more times, he gently placed his daughter on the ground.
I opened the box, took out the electric heater, wiped the dust on it, and placed it not too far from my daughter's bedside.
If the distance is too close, the heat may cause a fire, and the alternation of hot and cold may cause the child to catch a cold.
The distance is farther and the heat is just right.
"Dad, what is this? Is it an electric fan?" Qianqian lay clingingly on Zhang Haidong's shoulder.
"This is an electric heater, something that can keep you warm. Don't dare touch it, honey. You'll get burned and you'll be hospitalized."
Zhang Haidong said and turned on the electric heater.
A wave of heat immediately hit my face.
The boss didn't lie to himself, this high power is really awesome.
“So warm.”
Qianqian kissed Zhang Haidong gently on the face and said: "Dad, mom is cold too, and you are cold too, why don't the three of us use this electric...heater...There is a big heater in the kindergarten, but it will be warm.
.”
Hearing that my daughter is so sensible and considerate, the fatigue of the day disappeared in an instant.
My daughter is really my own little cotton-padded jacket!
This little cotton-padded jacket doesn’t leak in the winter and is really warm!
"Don't worry, mom and dad won't catch a cold. Just sleep peacefully and go to school to learn knowledge. Do you understand? Baby."
"Well, Qianqian will be admitted to university in the future, Tsinghua University."
"mua!"
Zhang Haidong kissed her hard again, then hugged her daughter and went to bed.
With the warmth of the electric heater, my daughter soon fell asleep soundly, and her little arms and body stretched out, no longer huddled under the quilt before.
Zhang Haidong quickly washed himself and got into bed.
The advantage of being married is that you have a wife to help you warm your bed in the cold winter.
The coldness all over my body was instantly driven away by a burst of sweet warmth, leaving no trace left.
"What a shame! How much have you paid? I'm so happy."
Du Jing tilted her head and lay in Zhang Haidong's arms, with a burning feeling all over her body.
"you guess."
Zhang Haidong lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
"Since we have that big deal from Jinxiu Group, how about... ten thousand?" Du Jing blinked.
"Guess again."
Zhang Haidong raised his head proudly. Now that he is the pillar of the family, this is one of the few opportunities for him to be arrogant.
"Then... fifteen thousand?"
Du Jing said again.
"wrong……"
"It's up to you to make fun of me or not!"
Seeing Zhang Haidong's arrogant look, Du Jing stretched out her hand and poked into his creaking hole. Zhang Haidong, who felt itchy, immediately changed his position and hugged Du Jing tightly, and his breathing began to become heavier.
stand up.
"Auntie is here, we can't do it today."
Du Jing quickly begged in a low voice.
Zhang Haidong let out a long breath and then gave up in frustration.
"Forty-three thousand were given."
