When Shen Lin and Shen Xingye arrived home, not only Lu Xiaorong took leave to cook at home, but Chu Feng and Shen Lin's second sister Shen Hong were also waiting at home!
Shen Hong works as a teacher in a primary school in the city. She wears glasses and looks gentle and quiet, but in fact, her personality is a bit carefree.
"Oh, Dad, you are back. This trip abroad lasted more than half a month, but I miss your daughter so much!"
As soon as Shen Xingye came in, Shen Hong rushed over and grabbed her father's arm, and took his father's briefcase affectionately.
While acting coquettishly and cutely, he instructed Chu Feng who was standing aside: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and get our dad to move the things in the car back."
Although Chu Feng is now the deputy director, his fate of being dominated by his wife at home has not changed at all.
Shen Hong is still the top leader in the family.
At this time, although Chu Feng's face had not changed much, his whole person was full of energy.
After all, he is no longer a frustrated little policeman, but the youngest deputy director of each police station in the entire city, and a person who has made meritorious deeds. In the eyes of many people, from now on, Chu Feng’s career will definitely be There are sparks and lightning all the way, and the spring breeze makes the horse's hooves fly.
Chu Feng picked up the big color TV and sighed: "Oh, this TV is heavy enough. Dad, how many inches is it?"
Shen Xingye had always admired Chu Feng as his son-in-law. When he heard him ask, he smiled and said, "It's a 21-inch Sony Tristron color TV."
For this color TV, Shen Xingye not only used all the foreign exchange subsidies he received during this trip, but also exchanged 500 yuan in foreign exchange with some close colleagues.
It can be said that this color TV is one of his biggest gains from this trip.
"Oh, a 21-inch big color TV." Shen Hong was ecstatic. For her, this thing was a bit like a dream.
After all, she could only think about a large domestic 21-inch color TV, but now, her father got a Sony Trinitron.
It would be so honorable to put this color TV in your new home!
But soon, Shen Hong's eyes fell on Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong. She understood that the water thrown out by her married daughter could be eaten and drank at her parents' house, and she could take the big color TV away. That is absolutely not possible!
My parents, no matter what, would not give me a color TV set across their son.
Although she felt a little regretful in her heart, Shen Hong did not say anything. She also understood her parents' choice.
Shen Xingye looked at his daughter's appearance and sighed secretly in his heart. As a father, he still understands his daughter's thoughts.
In fact, when he got this big color TV, he felt a little embarrassed.
He has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son and daughter are out of town, and only Shen Lin and Shen Yuzhu are around.
When it comes to getting a TV to watch at home, Shen Xingye thinks his small 14-inch black and white TV is enough.
The reason why I decided to buy a large color TV this time was also because of Shen Lin.
Although Shen Lin made a lot of money from his small business, Shen Xingye lamented the most about Lu Xiaorong's development. What's more, Lu Xiaorong was also pregnant now. As a father-in-law, he couldn't show off at all!
So, he bought this color TV.
"After I went abroad, I really felt that I really needed to go out and have a look. You don't know, the electronic products over there are just random choices."
When Shen Xingye said this, he sighed and said: "We in China still don't know when we can catch up!"
Shen Lin looked at his father who was filled with emotion and wanted to say that we can catch up in a few years. But he did not dare to say such words casually.
"Daughter, don't you like listening to music? There is a tape recorder there that I bought for you. You can take it home and use it."
As Shen Xingye spoke, he pointed to a radio box not far away. This radio was not expensive and was far inferior to a large color TV.
This is why Shen Xingye feels that it would be a bit unreasonable for him to go all the way and not sell something to his daughter.
"Thank you, Dad." Although Shen Hong felt that her gift was not as good as Shen Lin's, she was very happy that her father could think of her.
What's more, the tape recorders brought from abroad are very dignified to use.
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Hong's expression and said to Shen Xingye: "Dad, I also like to listen to music, and the doctor suggested that we let our children listen to more music. I think it is better to let me listen to the second sister's tape recorder first. one time."
"Let the second sister take that color TV and watch it. Let's exchange it and we can get what we need!"
Shen Xingye started to listen to what Lu Xiaorong said, and couldn't help but frown, feeling that he had misjudged the person.
But what Lu Xiaorong said next made Shen Xingye feel even more gratified.
This kid, Xiao Rong, has really high emotional intelligence. He even exchanged the watermelon for sesame seeds, but still remained so calm, which gave the second sister enough face. You see, this kid really didn’t let him down!
"Xiao Rong, if you want to listen to the tape recorder, just take it and use it. You can't wrong my little nephew. This big color TV was brought back specially for you by our father who traveled thousands of miles. You must use it!"
Chu Feng didn't wait for his wife to speak, and said solemnly: "What's more, our new house hasn't been packed up yet, so we won't need these things for the time being."
"Yes, yes, we don't need a color TV in our current house. If I take this color TV away, my mother won't let me go back to my parents' house!" Shen Hong waved her hands repeatedly. The more polite her sister-in-law was, the more uncomfortable she became. I have the nerve to keep it as my own.
After all, he is considered an outsider in his parents' home.
Shen Xingye felt very happy when he saw Lu Xiaorong and others making concessions. He knew that he couldn't refuse too much, otherwise he might hurt his feelings.
"Okay, the things I bought this time have all been allocated to Yuzhu. I will buy them for them when I go out next time."
Although he said this, Shen Xingye knew that if he wanted to go out in the future, it would be basically impossible.
After all, when I come back this time, I will be dismissed from my position as deputy leader of the second workshop preparatory team.
Lu Xiaorong felt helpless after hearing her father-in-law's decision. She also had a good relationship with Shen Hong, so she had always been very close to this second sister.
This time, she had no idea about the large color TV set bought by her father-in-law. Seeing that Shen Hong liked it, she simply gave in.
But I didn't expect that my father-in-law would make a decision so quickly.
When Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin, Shen Lin said with a smile: "Dad, sister, I will let my sister use this TV."
"It's not that I'm too picky, but the TV is too small for me to watch."
Shen Lin's words made Shen Hong glare at him fiercely. Although she knew that her younger brother was rejecting TV, this was too embarrassing.
"I have already looked at a piece of land and plan to build a house. The living room will be at least 40 square meters by then. I'm afraid this 21-inch color TV won't be of use."
When Shen Lin said this, he said leisurely: "When I move to a new home, I have to get a 34-inch one."
Shen Xingye glared at his son and said, "Okay, you should spend the two dollars you earn wisely and don't just talk nonsense."
"Dad, what you said seems to look down on me, a newly promoted household worth 200,000 yuan!" Shen Lin joked with a smile.
