Since there were still two days of exams, Cheng Guanli and Su Ying did not let go and play.
I just drove to the Great Wall to visit.
It was almost dark when we came back.
Su Ying was still a little dissatisfied, "Hey~ let's buy a car anytime and go wherever we want."
Cheng Guanli said with a smile: "I definitely can't afford a four-wheeled one, but it's no problem to buy a kick. Anyway, the country has also opened restrictions on personal purchase and driving of motorcycles. I can buy one next month."
.”
Su Ying shook her head and said: "Forget it, your restaurant is under development. If you have the money, you should invest it. I heard that a Happiness 250 costs more than 2,000!"
"Happiness 250? Haha, I just bought it. After the exam the day after tomorrow, I will ask Teacher Huang to write an application for a driver's license and get all the driver's licenses. Next month I will ride a motorcycle to your house. When I see your uncle, I will ask
,'Uncle, is it safe to park my motorcycle at the door?'"
Su Ying chuckled and said: "Look at how proud you are, can't you invest more than two thousand in business?"
"Hey~ Although the area of my restaurant is not small, it is only two floors. It has almost developed its usable value. Now I can't buy land or build it myself. There is not much point in investing more. I can't make money.
It would be a pity not to spend money and experience the convenience brought by the switch to life. By the way, I still want to buy a TV."
Su Ying smiled and said: "You can't live up to your expectations. You've spent all the money you earned, why don't you invest a little?"
"Of course you have to invest. Isn't a restaurant the biggest investment? In addition to restaurants, last week I asked Mr. Guan to help me collect a few pieces of furniture from the Ming Dynasty, including huanghuali and small leaf sandalwood. They are very cheap. Now my house
It’s already full.”
Su Ying wondered: "Old furniture is so cheap, why do you keep collecting it?"
"As the saying goes, buy gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. From now on, it will be prosperous times. Antiques should be bought in advance. After ten or twenty years, you will know its value. The most important thing is that it is cheap. One piece
Huanghuali furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties costs just a few yuan, and the better ones cost more than a dozen yuan, and it doesn’t take up much money, so it’s all just for fun.”
"I think your paintings and calligraphy are better than the furniture."
"It's still expensive. A roll of Zhao Ji's calligraphy cost me 150. I still missed it, and it's hard to come by. Unlike old furniture, you can pick up a lot of it just by walking around the alleys of Sijiu City, and you can pick it up by picking it up.
, Besides, when you get married, you can’t buy any furniture. I think freshly made furniture doesn’t have the same heritage as old furniture, so I’m afraid you won’t like it.”
"Pfft~ don't say that, I can't control you now. I like whatever you choose."
The exam was completed in three days.
The first thing Cheng Guanli did when he got to work was to ask Teacher Huang to write an application for his driver's license.
Although he was not an official employee of CCTV yet, Cheng Guanli's situation was special and the leadership approved it on the same day.
All the expenses are paid by the university, so Cheng Guanli just needs to study on time and take the exams on time.
It was still some time before he could buy a motorcycle, but after get off work that day, he rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative and brought back a 14-inch black and white TV, Panda brand.
Originally, only the Cheng family in the backyard had a 12-inch black and white TV.
Cheng Guanli naturally wanted to buy one bigger than them.
As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu, the in-laws, shaking their cattail fans and talking.
"Hey, Guan Li, did you buy a TV? How much did it cost? How many inches is it?"
"Hey! It's only a few hundred yuan. When the restaurant makes money, you have to spend what you have to spend, 14 inches."
"Ah! Isn't it hard to buy a 14-inch one?" Aunt Lu hurriedly came over and circled around the TV box to take a look.
"No, I told Uncle Li from the supply and marketing cooperative several times, and he finally left one for me."
Aunt Liu quickly said: "You don't have to study every night after the college entrance examination. Can we go to your house to watch TV? We can't delay your studies anymore, right?"
"Hey, it's really delayed. I'm not just talking nonsense. If I pass the exam, I'll start college courses. If I fail, don't I have to review? So, I'm sorry."
"Hey kid, why do you want to buy a TV?"
"Hehe, let me show off!"
"Yes, you are very honest. No one can take advantage of you."
Cheng Guanli laughed and pushed his bicycle back to the central courtyard. The two in-laws inevitably had another discussion.
Just as he was talking, Mrs. Cheng came back from outside.
Seeing this, Aunt Lu hurriedly said: "Aunt Cheng, do you know that Guan Li just bought a 14-inch black and white TV, and we were not allowed to go to his house to look at it. He said he was just showing off."
Mrs. Cheng smiled slightly and said, "If you want to watch TV, go to my house. Although it is smaller, you can still watch it. Dehai and his wife went to Jinmen, and Jianwen and Jianwu didn't come back until after ten o'clock. I am worried that no one at home will keep me company."
Come on, come with me now."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Let's go after dinner. My mother-in-law, are you going?"
Aunt Liu pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly: "It's not appropriate for me to go."
The Liu family and the Cheng family had a huge quarrel last year because Cheng Jianwu locked the door.
In the end, no matter how much Cheng Jianwu and Mrs. Cheng apologized, Liu Tongzhou and his wife refused to forgive, resulting in Cheng Jianwu being detained for a week and being fired from the machinery factory.
After that incident, the Cheng family in the backyard and the Liu family in the middle courtyard didn't talk much.
That's why Aunt Liu said something inappropriate when Aunt Lu asked.
Mrs. Cheng seemed to be open-minded, "My wife in the same boat, are you still angry with that bastard Jianwu? Jianwu also lost his job, why don't you detain him for seven days? You are the elder. As long as you are not angry, we will
Still a good neighbor.”
Aunt Liu was stunned, "Ah? This, this... ugh! It seems that I am stingy. Second Aunt Cheng, I am afraid that you will blame me and Tongzhou for being unforgiving. As long as you are not angry with me and my wife, then we will
Must be a good neighbor."
"That's fine. From now on, if you want to watch TV, just go to my house and talk to me."
Mrs. Cheng had her own purpose in doing this, especially after hearing that Cheng Guanli was not willing to let these aunts watch TV in the house, she became even more generous.
Mrs. Cheng knew that her family was about to lose the good reputation they had accumulated over the past few decades because of Cheng Guanli's incident.
If we don't protect our reputation, we will become an isolated family in the courtyard.
Both grandsons have reached the age to talk about marriage, especially Jianwen, who was supposed to get married in the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, but even now there is no certainty.
The worse the family's reputation, the harder it was for Jianwen and Jianwu to find a wife.
And Aunt Liu and Aunt Lu were the live speakers in the alley, picking up words wherever they went.
That's why Mrs. Cheng thought of lowering her profile and getting closer to them.
After dinner, Aunt Liu and Aunt Lu went to the Cheng family's backyard to watch TV.
Aunt Liu also led her three daughters, Xiuxiu, Lianlian and Jiajia.
When I walked in, Mrs. Cheng put a plate of peanuts and melon seeds on the table.
Aunt Liu saw this and said, "Oh, Second Aunt, what are you doing? It's so embarrassing!" She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them.
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down, there is no one at home and I am an old woman who is so lonely. Wife in the same boat, do you think it would be great if I had two grandsons-in-law? Can you help introduce them to me?"
Aunt Liu was not polite and asked with a smile: "Second Aunt, what do you think of my two girls?" This chapter has been completed!
