Transmigrate to the ’80s to Be a Stepmother

Chapter 36:



When the twins saw Lu Zetian, they ran towards him in a panic.

Lu Zetian stopped them and asked them to stand aside, afraid that someone would accidentally hit them both while carrying things.

"It\'s a washing machine." Lu Zetian replied.

"Oh~" The twins didn\'t know what a washing machine was, but they still cheered routinely and were very supportive.

Qin Shi looked at the two of them and smiled, beckoning them to come over, don\'t block them from moving things.

The twins ran to Qin Shi\'s side again, watching curiously.

Aunt Zhao watched the two young men carrying the washing machine, and she immediately clicked her tongue in amazement, "Washing machine, Xiao Lu, how much is it?"

Lu Zetian: "Two hundred and one."

Aunt Zhao\'s eyes widened: "Hey! So expensive!"

Even Qin Shi couldn\'t hold back the surprise in his heart, raised his eyebrows, "It\'s a bit expensive."

"It\'s too expensive!" Aunt Zhao sighed: "A Phoenix bicycle is only one hundred and twenty, and you can buy two more.

I also wanted to buy a washing machine, but it was so expensive that I forgot it. "

Aunt Zhao is also getting older. Although there are few people in the family, she is very tired after being busy. It must be much more convenient to have a washing machine. But this price was simply unacceptable to Aunt Zhao.

Lu Zetian explained: "I entrusted someone to buy this one specially. There is a better one in China, and there are also cheaper ones. It only costs more than 100."

Aunt Zhao\'s heart moved, but she still shook her head: "Forget it, it\'s too expensive."

She can still do it now, but she won\'t be able to in a few years. Finding a nanny is more cost-effective than buying a washing machine. The nanny only costs ten yuan a month, and one hundred and two yuan a year. She can do a lot more than a washing machine.

When Lu Zetian saw Aunt Zhao said that, he didn\'t say much, just nodded, and went into the yard to direct Heihu to open the washing machine box.

Qin Shi took the twins and Aunt Zhao into the yard to watch, and people from the next door who heard the commotion and came out to watch the excitement came one after another.

In this day and age, three-ring one-turn sewing machines, bicycles, radios, and watches are considered big items, and they are bought only when they get married. You have only heard of washing machines and so on, but you haven\'t seen them yet.

"Sila—"

Heihu opened the cardboard box, revealing the true face of the washing machine inside.

Everyone ignored their random thoughts, and turned their attention to the washing machine. The washing machine is square, with a smooth surface and a light blue color, which is very beautiful.

"Hey!" Aunt Zhao leaned over to the washing machine, wanted to touch it but didn\'t do it, just looked around it carefully.

Lu Zetian looked at Qin Shi: "Open it and have a look?"

Qin Shi smiled and nodded, came over and opened the lid of the washing machine under the eyes of everyone.

"Yeah, there\'s quite a lot of space inside." Aunt Zhao looked around, "I can wash a lot of clothes this time, and the sheets and quilt covers are also good."

Qin Shi looked at the size of the inner tub and was quite satisfied, "Not bad." Although it was simpler and bulkier than the most common washing machine she remembered when she was a child, but it was only 80 years old, and it would be nice to have a washing machine.

"Every time you wash clothes, you need to add water, and after it is washed, you need to drain it." Lu Zetian pulled out a pipe from the back of the washing machine and said, "Use this drain."

"That is to put water on the clothes, and it will wash itself, so you don\'t need to worry about it?" Someone outside asked.

"Yes." Lu Zetian nodded.

"Hey, that\'s so convenient!" Everyone cheered up and walked into the courtyard of Lu\'s house one after another, standing in a group around the washing machine and chatting non-stop.

"Captain Lu, where did you buy this? Can you buy it with industrial rolls?"

"How much is it? I want to buy one too."

The elder sisters and aunts asked in a hurry, their great enthusiasm made Lu Zetian take half a step back, "Industrial rolls are fine, I asked someone to buy them in S city, and they are out of stock for now, this one is specially for people. I kept it, but that person is not needed for the time being, so it’s cheaper for me.”

"The price is two hundred and one."

As soon as Lu Zetian said these words, the noisy group fell silent. After two seconds of silence, everyone broke out into a more heated discussion.

"My mother! This is too expensive! Our shopkeeper\'s half a year\'s salary!"

"Why is this washing machine so expensive?"

Watches and bicycles only cost more than one hundred, while washing machines cost more than two hundred. This is the biggest of the big things.

Darling, I\'m so rich, I\'m so willing!

When Lu Zetian married Mo Ling back then, he also bought all three rings and one turn. When they divorced, Mo Ling took away the watch and bicycle, and also brought a large sum of money. The two divorced peacefully.

I didn\'t expect Lu Zetian\'s family to be so rich, it\'s only been a few years, and he has saved a lot?

At the beginning, I heard that he and Mo Ling divorced, and the family property was divided in half. I don\'t know if it is true or not. If it is true, then Mo Ling has made a lot of money. Compared with the two people who got married for a year.

But it may be fake, otherwise Lu Zetian still has money, can he be willing to buy a big one?

How does he make money? Or was it bought with the children\'s subsidy money? Even moved the child\'s father\'s pension? Everyone looked at Lu Zetian\'s family, all kinds of thoughts arose in their hearts, and gossip flashed in their eyes.

And Qin Shi, this person is not simple! Which daughter-in-law doesn\'t wash the clothes of the whole family by herself, but she can persuade Lu Zetian to buy a washing machine?

Tut tut tut! The method is powerful!

Everyone began to whisper, and the acquaintances communicated with each other with complicated eyes.

Seeing them like this, Aunt Zhao didn\'t know that they began to gossip about others and think wildly again. So he quickly waved his hands, "Okay, okay, Xiaoqin, clean up, we won\'t bother you, go back first."

Qin Shi took advantage of the situation and smiled apologetically at everyone, "Come to see it at home some other day. I\'ll make room for it first, and see how to put this washing machine at home."

After everyone said this, everyone didn\'t want to stay and add to the chaos, so they extinguished all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and said goodbye to Qin Shi with a smile.

"Then clean it up first, and I\'ll come see you tomorrow." Zhang Cui, who lived not far from the next door, shouted at Qin Shi.

Qin Shi: "..." Who are you?

Although he didn\'t speak a few words to this person, they were all neighbors, and Qin Shi couldn\'t refuse, so he laughed and laughed.

Satisfied with the response, Zhang Cui turned her head and walked away. After walking two steps, she looked back at the vegetable garden in the corner of the yard and said, "Your leeks grow very well. It\'s such a large piece that it can be cut."

Qin Shi: "It\'s okay, it will be cut in two days."

Zhang Cui looked back at Qin Shi, Qin Shi was a little confused, why she didn\'t leave and stopped.

The two looked at each other, Qin Shi smiled at Zhang Cui, Zhang Cui pouted, turned and left.

Seeing that the smile on Zhang Cui\'s face disappeared, Qin Shi\'s expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly realized what she meant by what she just said.

Such a large piece, do you want me to give her some?

Qin Shi looked at her back and fell silent. She was only familiar with Aunt Zhao and the Wang family on the other side. Both families were very nice, unlike her who almost asked for things openly.

The Wang family child and Gu Qinghai are classmates, and they go to school together every day, and the Wang family man is under Lu Zetian\'s subordinates, so the relationship is relatively close.

Wang\'s daughter-in-law, Miao Le, is very cheerful. Qin Shi, Aunt Zhao and her get along very well. The vegetables grown in the three fields are different, and they often send vegetables to each other. No one takes advantage of the other. You gave me this today. , I will send you that kind tomorrow.

Qin Shi didn\'t go out very often when she was at home, and she wouldn\'t go to other people\'s homes if she didn\'t take the initiative to stop by. After coming to the military compound for so long, all the people she met were straightforward and generous, so she didn\'t react for a while.

After understanding Zhang Cui\'s subtext, Qin Shi didn\'t know what to say. If she wants to be able to say it clearly, if she asks for it generously, she might give it, but she just hints that her face will change instantly after seeing that she didn\'t give it, it\'s really... hard to say.

"Sister-in-law, where is this washing machine?" Heihu scratched his head and asked Qin Shi.

Qin Shi saw that everyone in the yard had left, "Put it in the kitchen."

In fact, she had already figured out where to put it. When she applied for the washing machine with Lu Zetian, she packed it out of the utility room.

There happened to be a strike opening over there, which had been sealed before, but Qin Shi opened it some time ago.

"Okay!" Heihu and another soldier lifted the washing machine and walked cautiously to the kitchen.

"Will it be impossible to get in?" Pingping looked at the washing machine which was about as wide as the door, very worried.

An An also leaned beside her and shouted, "The washing machine is too big, and the door is too small!"

Qin Shi glanced at the size, and was also a little worried: "Is it possible to put it in?"

Lu Zetian nodded: "Don\'t worry, I measured the size before."

Sure enough, the two of Heihu walked one after the other, and quickly carried the washing machine into the house.

The size is just right, if the washing machine is bigger, it will not be easy to get in.

Qin Shi smiled, and glanced at Lu Zetian with admiration, "You really are reliable."

Lu Zetian was praised, and the corners of his mouth turned up, feeling quite happy.

"Sister-in-law! Where do you put it?" Heihu\'s voice came, and Qin Shi hurried in, directing them to put it where they had thought directly.

After putting it away, Hei Hu and the others went to the yard to wash their hands, Qin Shi went into the house and brought out a plate of biscuits, gave two pieces of biscuits to each of the twins, and then handed the plate to Lu Zetian.

"Thanks for your hard work, come and eat some biscuits." Qin Shi looked at Heihu and another little soldier whom he had never seen before with a smile, and said, "I baked them myself, you guys have a taste to see if they taste good."

The little soldier looked at the round and square biscuits on the plate, he was embarrassed to ask for it, and just about to refuse, he saw Heihu reached out and took two pieces, stuffed them into his mouth unceremoniously, and then stuffed the other one for himself.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! I\'m lucky again today~" Hei Hu, as Lu Zetian\'s bodyguard, often comes to the house.

Before Qin Shi took Mo Ling\'s order, she was too busy making clothes and didn\'t have time to cook. He came to deliver the meals every meal, and then was busy cleaning the house.

Qin Shi is also familiar with him, and she doesn\'t forget to bring him some delicious food when she cooks. Heihu had already been subdued by her skills, and came to work when he had nothing to do, eating and drinking, and never treated himself as an outsider.

Of course, Qin Shi didn\'t treat him as an outsider. She heard from Lu Zetian that when Lu\'s mother was around, Hei Hu also came to help at home, he was a very sincere young man.

The little soldier was stunned for a while, and looked at Lu Zetian with the biscuit. Before Lu Zetian could speak, Qin Shi said: "Look at what he is doing, eat it, there are still a lot on the plate, and your regiment leader is indispensable."

Lu Zetian smiled, picked up two biscuits on the plate with his left hand, and handed the plate to the little soldier, "Eat it, both of you."

The little soldier took the plate with one hand, and brought the biscuit to his mouth with the other. He took a bite, and a milky smell radiated from his mouth, which made his eyes widen uncontrollably.

"It\'s so sweet and fragrant!"

Is this sugar and milk? Valuable, right? The little soldier who had just joined the army looked at Qin Shi with some anxiety.

These are all precious things!

Qin Shi looked at his immature face and asked with a smile: "What\'s your name? How old are you?"

"My name is Zhou Zhen, I\'m 18."

Qin Shi thought to herself, sure enough, she doesn\'t look too old, in future generations, children of this age are still in school.

Thinking about the particularity of the 1970s and 1980s, Qin Shi sighed in her heart.

Thanks to the great people for making the country prosperous and strong.

The author has something to say:

At that time, many ordinary people joined the army because they wanted to get out of farming, and their families could not afford to raise children. They hoped that their children would be successful in the army, be admitted to a military academy, or be promoted, or master a skill to earn a living.
