"We will wait until we get these plates back next Sunday and tell others that my comrades also want plates, so we will give them the remaining few.
When you come back from the city on Sunday, I will accompany you to the scrap station to pick out a few more. I must let them know that we don’t have these things at home now."
They just arrested those eight people, so Chen Dade and Liao Dapan definitely don't dare to arrange for anyone to come to Antian Farm now, and they don't dare to find anyone to approach the Liang family anymore in recent days.
He was afraid that after the limelight had passed, these two men would come back again and do whatever it took to get money, which would harm his wife and children.
"Okay." Su Shu nodded in agreement.
The next day was the only rest day in the week. Liang Zhenguo took Su Shu to the city early in the morning. Liang Zhenguo went to pay for the washing machine, while Su Shu walked around the city's department stores. She actually found her
I ordered a children’s bicycle, but there was only one in stock.
Su Shu generously ordered two more bikes, and agreed to pick them up next Sunday, so he picked up the bikes and the washing machine.
When Liang Zhenguo watched the department store driver loading the goods, he couldn't help but talk about Su Shu.
"You are the only mother in the world who loves her children so much."
"Didn't you long for a bicycle when you were a child? Anyway, when I was a child, I saw other people riding them, and I wanted it very much."
Su Shu said, "If our family doesn't have enough money to buy it, we can only let our children think about it, but since we can afford it, we can't be stingy about spending money on our children."
"Is there anything else you want but haven't gotten?" Liang Zhenguo didn't believe it. "Is there anything else that my father-in-law wouldn't be willing to buy for you?"
Only then did Su Shu realize that she had said the wrong thing.
She smiled and said, "It requires a ticket, and it's very expensive, so my dad later realized that I really wanted one, so he scraped together the parts and built one for me."
"My father-in-law is still very handy." Liang Zhenguo praised.
The two returned to Xiaohe Street. The department store transport truck stopped in front of Liang's house. A porter and the driver lifted the washing machine down. The onlookers took a closer look and were shocked!
"Teacher Su, did your family buy a washing machine? I heard that this thing is very expensive, and it also wastes water and electricity." Someone said.
"Does this one cost several hundred yuan?" someone asked.
"Teacher Su, why do you even have to use a machine to wash your clothes? How fast is it to wash clothes? Hand washing saves electricity and water, and it also saves money on buying a machine."
He scolded those who were nosy, "You young people are too ignorant in your life. It's really not possible without an old man to take care of your family."
"My wife and I both have to go to work. We are both busy, and we also have three children's clothes. If there is no washing machine, who will wash the clothes? We really don't have any elderly people in our family who can help with housework." Liang Zhenguo doesn't like others to take care of his house.
It was a matter of fact, so I responded directly.
"Isn't your cousin at home? Can't she do it?" the old aunt asked matter-of-factly.
"Auntie, what you said is really strange. You also know that she is my cousin. Is it possible that my cousin can help us wash clothes for a lifetime? There are so many people in the family, how can she, a girl, not be tired of washing clothes? Besides, there are so many people in the house.
Okay, I am a grown man, and I always ask my cousin to help me wash my clothes. Is it ridiculous?"
Liang Zhenguo waved his hand and asked the workers to help move the washing machine into the yard.
The aunt's face was not very good when Liang Zhenguo retorted. Driven by curiosity because she had never seen a washing machine, she followed the porter to the Liang family yard.
He didn't stop and continued to mutter, "Can't you just let Teacher Su wash your clothes? Besides, my cousin is helping my cousin wash his clothes. Why is it so outrageous?"
"I don't care about your family. In my family, it would be outrageous for such an old girl to always help my older cousin wash clothes. As for my wife, in addition to going to work, she also has to take care of the children, buy groceries, and do some cooking.
She is also a human being and needs time to rest."
Liang Zhenguo was really impatient. "Stop nagging me. I'm going to buy a washing machine with my own money. I think it's worth the money."
He really doesn't like dealing with these elderly aunts who are still nosy, that's all.
When it comes to his own affairs, these old aunts jump out and take matters into their own hands.
"Hey, you educated people are so particular. My two teenage girls take turns washing our whole family's clothes, including their father's, older brother and younger brother's, and mine, even our underpants.
They washed it." The old aunt said very proudly, "My two daughters are very diligent."
Su Shu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Your family is really not particular about clothes. Forget about clothes, why would you let such an old girl wash your underwear? This is the first time I've heard about this, and it sounds very ridiculous to me."
"What? The men's underwear is not dirty, why don't they wash it?" The old aunt was so angry that she was pushed.
"If it's not dirty, then just keep wearing it. If it's not dirty, why should I change it?" Su Shu said, "Besides, is this a matter of whether it's dirty or not? When I talk to you, I'm talking to you like a chicken."
While Su Shu was talking to the old aunt, no one else dared to speak. Only when they noticed that Su Shu was impatient did someone persuade the old aunt not to get involved in other people's affairs.
The old aunt left angrily.
After installing the washing machine, the porters unloaded the children's bicycles from the truck. Those who gathered around to see this rare thing like the washing machine opened their eyes in astonishment.
But the three children of the Liang family were crazy with joy and cheered around the bicycle.
"It's still a Peacock brand children's bicycle." Someone said, "Teacher Su is really willing to give up to children who were not born by him."
The speaker's voice was not quiet, and he was also very sour.
Fortunately, the children were busy looking at the bicycles and didn't hear it. Su Shu heard it, glanced at it, and said coldly, "If anyone doesn't know how to speak well, just shut up."
Liang Zhichao kept his word and agreed to let Yiyi ride the bicycle first, so he pulled Liang Zhiqiang and let Yiyi sit on it first.
Children's bicycles have one wheel in the front and two small ones in the back. They have good stability, so this novice didn't fall over when he sat on them.
Put your two little feet on the little pedals, and when you step on them, the bicycle starts to move.
"Wow! Mom! Look at Yiyi, she can ride a bicycle! Yiyi is so awesome!" Liang Zhichao shouted to Su Shu to come over and take a look.
Yiyi was so excited that his eyes turned into lines with laughter. He held the handlebars tightly with both hands and did not dare to use too much force with his feet. He just stepped on it tentatively and rode slowly.
"Mom, help us time the time. Let's take turns playing for five minutes." Liang Zhiqiang pulled Su Shu and said.
"Yiyi hasn't played for five minutes yet. Brother, please wait a little longer!" Liang Zhichao pulled Liang Zhiqiang back, "Don't rush me."
When Lin Suhong came over, the Liang family yard was busy.
"Your family has added two big items today. This washing machine may be the first one in the whole farm. This children's bicycle is also rare on the farm." Lin Suhong asked, "Is it expensive? If not, I will save money.
Buy one for my kid.”
"It's cheaper than an adult's bicycle. When your child can use it, it will be even cheaper." Su Shu responded with a smile.
"That's great." Lin Suhong covered her mouth and smiled, then pulled Su Shu aside to whisper.
"Guess what news I just heard." Lin Suhong also went to the department store for a half-day shift in the morning, so she knew all the news very quickly.
She reminded, "It's a big deal for Yang Ye's family."
"You just got married and got divorced, right?" Su Shu felt that apart from that, there should be no gossip about Yang Ye that she wanted to hear.
"It's scarier than this." Lin Suhong shook her head, "Today is a rest day. Yang Ye's new wife, Dai Zhenzhu, took Yang Ye's two daughters to play with her son at the beach. As a result, Yang Ye's little daughter was hit by the waves.
He was swept away and he was already dead when he was found."
