Chapter 88: The Blue of Black and Blue
The whole family and Mu Xueli got busy unloading the sled and moving things into the house.
Wang An led the large mare and the big green horse to the shed to tie them up and fed these three horses in the shed!
The big green horse was the most common horse in the Heilongjiang region. If there were a hundred horses, the number of this kind of big green horse would be at least 60!
The green of the green horse was not the green of the green grass on the grassland!
It was the blue of being beaten black and blue on the face! Blue in one patch, purple in one patch, that blue!
Don't mix it up!
This blue color was actually gray hair and white hair growing together. Looking from afar, it was the "face is dark blue" blue color!
Wang An fed the horses well and came out of the shed. The things on the sled had all been moved into the house.
Before he could even enter the house, he heard the two younger sisters wanting to eat canned food, but Liu Guilan wouldn't let them and was scolding the two younger sisters.
After entering the house, he found that the two younger sisters were tearful and very aggrieved. Seeing their eldest brother enter the house, they ran into Wang An's arms to seek comfort!
Wang An hugged the two sisters and said with a smile: "You two want to eat canned food?"
"Yes, big brother, we haven't eaten canned food for a long time!" Little sister Wang Xiaoli said with tears on her face and a thick tongue.
"Big brother, but mother won't let us eat." Big sister Wang Xiaomei also complained while crying.
"It's okay, then let's eat secretly, and don't let mother find out, okay?" Wang An pretended to speak in a low voice, teasing the two sisters.
The two younger sisters directly turned from crying to laughing and nodded wildly, as if it were really "secretly"!
Wang An hugged the two younger sisters into the east room and whispered to the two sisters: "You wait here, big brother will go steal canned food for you to eat!"
The two younger sisters were about to laugh out loud with excitement, constantly nodding, as if it were really "secretly"!
Wang An turned and came to the west room, tore open the box, directly took a bottle of canned food, paused, tucked the bottle he took out under his arm, and took out two more bottles.
Walking to the outer room, ignoring his mother's murderous gaze, he handed these two bottles of canned food to Mu Xueqing and asked her to take a bowl and share it with everyone.
He took two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls, and this bottle of canned food, and entered the room.
Seeing that big brother really brought the canned food into the room, the two younger sisters stomped their feet with excitement, but didn't dare to shout, fearing being heard by their mother.
After opening the canned food, the two younger sisters didn't eat it themselves first, but fed Wang An first, saying: "Big brother eat first."
Wang An naturally accepted the feeding of the two younger sisters!
Seeing the two younger sisters eating the canned food with that enjoyable little expression, Wang An smiled slightly. He felt that as a big brother, being able to let his sisters eat the canned food they wanted, this sense of pride and achievement was also quite refreshing! It seemed much sweeter than eating the canned food himself!
Walking outside the house, seeing his family and brother-in-law eating canned food, a sense of happiness suddenly arose!
Such a happy and plain life was really quite good!
Walking to the west room, he took out the 5 watches from the sack, wore one himself first, walked to the outer room, and handed one to his father and mother each.
Seeing the things Wang An handed to them, the couple asked in confusion: "What is this?"
The couple looked at the boxes in their hands back and forth, but never opened them, seemingly still in a daze.
Wang An didn't pay attention to them for the time being, but took out one of the boxes, took out the watch inside, pulled Mu Xueqing's left hand, and wore it on Mu Xueqing's wrist. After wearing it, he grabbed Mu Xueqing's small arm, looked at it carefully, and muttered: "Hmm, beautiful!"
Mu Xueqing, who was eating canned food, was still in a daze at this time, just looking at Wang An wearing the watch on her left wrist!
It wasn't until Wang An finished wearing it that Mu Xueqing reacted and looked at the watch on her wrist with Wang An, full of smiles, proving Mu Xueqing's happy mood at this time!
Turning around, he put the watches on his mother and father respectively. His father and mother were naturally very happy, only his mother said something that spoiled the mood: "What's the use of buying this? How much money is this?"
"200 yuan," Wang An said with a smile.
Liu Guilan thought it was 200 for 5 watches, so she lowered her head.
"200 yuan each," Wang An continued.
As soon as Wang An's words came out, everyone was stunned!
"This, this, one watch, 200 yuan??" Liu Guilan completely lost her composure and asked clumsily.
Wang An said very calmly: "Yes, this is an imported watch, quite sturdy and durable."
Hearing Wang An's affirmative answer, and seeing that Wang An was still holding one in his hand, Liu Guilan instantly lost control of her emotions and shouted:
"You spendthrift, you bought 5 watches for 1000 yuan. What are you buying this for? 1000 yuan, that's 1000 yuan! Our family can't save 1000 yuan in ten years!"
An ordinary rural woman really couldn't accept this kind of high consumption!
Liu Guilan scolded for a while, Wang An pretended not to hear, and ate the canned food!
It had to be said that this thing was truly quite delicious, simply suitable for all ages, truly sweet!
After his mother's emotions stabilized, Wang An said to his brother-in-law: "Do you want money or a watch?"
Mu Xueli saw his eldest sister's family wearing watches and had long been envious, but his eldest sister was there, so he didn't dare to make a decision. He looked at Mu Xueqing. Mu Xueqing looked at her brother's useless appearance and was helpless, so she said: "What are you looking at me for? If you want something, say it yourself!"
Hearing this, Mu Xueli excitedly said: "I want a watch, brother-in-law, I want a watch!"
Wang An didn't speak, just handed the watch box to his brother-in-law. Mu Xueli received it, opened the box carefully, and wore it on his wrist carefully, full of excited love, as if he had obtained a peerless treasure, and he cherished it quite a bit!
However, his performance was okay. At least he didn't become like a fool when he got the Mosin-Nagant!
Wang An didn't bother with his brother-in-law and turned to comfort his mother: "Mother, why are you so excited? This was all earned by your son. Is there anything wrong with spending some to honor you?"
After a pause, he continued: "You have to calm down. There will be many things to buy in the future. How can you be so excited all the time? Besides, so many skins and big iron galls haven't been sold yet. How much money is this watch!"
Actually, Liu Guilan was just used to being frugal and had no thoughts of spending big money to buy big items. This was also the common thought of the vast working people of China in this era!
It's okay to have money in hand, but absolutely not to spend it! Because they deeply knew how difficult it was to earn a little broken money!
Hearing her son's words, Liu Guilan might have thought of the leopard skin and tiger cub skin, and the big bear's big iron gall, and the expression on her face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny!
She even happily looked at the watch on her wrist!
Turning her head, she saw Wang Dazhu, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, but still looking at the watch happily, and kicked him!
"What are you doing?" Wang Dazhu, who was looking happily, was kicked and was confused, asking with a face full of doubt.
"Nothing, just want to kick you, don't like looking at you, what's wrong?" Liu Guilan stared, hands on hips, just like a shrew, without saying a reason, just looking at Wang Dazhu and saying!
Wang Dazhu was inexplicable, very angry, but didn't dare to shout. He glanced at Liu Guilan, muttered something he didn't know, and went to the yard dejectedly!
