Chapter 1594: Refrigerator (Refresh)

"Only with money can your waist be straight."

"Right, with money, wherever you go, people have to look at you with high regard."

Aguang looked at the endless stream of people around, and then at Dongqing beside him who was stealing glances at Ye Yaodong from time to time.

And Chen Shi was stealing glances at Dongqing, which gave him a headache.

He called out to Ye Yaodong, "You go do your business, we also want to walk around and see, let's separate and do our own things."

Ye Yaodong was stretching his neck to look ahead, turned his head, and nodded. "Alright, you look at your shop, I'll stroll through my shopping mall, let's meet at my factory at dinner time."

"Alright."

The two agreed and went their separate ways, and Aguang also pulled Pei Dongqing to walk in another direction.

Ye Yaodong took the three children, and took Old Xiao and Chen Shi to walk towards the department store.

He hadn't strolled in the city for a few years, but the location of the department store definitely hadn't changed, only the surroundings were livelier, the flow of people and vehicles coming and going was endless, and there were all kinds of peddlers' hawking sounds interspersed, a scene of prosperity.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew across the land of China, and after more than ten years of brewing and accumulation, it was now the hopeful 1990s.

This was a passionate era, the melody of Teresa Teng's "I Only Care About You" echoed in the streets and alleys, individual economy broke through the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and 'ten-thousand-yuan households' starting businesses by setting up stalls could be seen everywhere.

They also chatted while walking about the changes on the streets now, which was a sharp contrast to a few years ago, and they were a few people who had been to other places and big cities, and could be considered to have seen the world, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Yaodong felt even more deeply, "This is truly a spring..."

"Yeah, how good it is now, everyone can trade and buy freely, no need for vouchers, and no need to hand everything over to the collective and then distribute it uniformly. It's much easier to find a job now, unlike before."

Old Xiao was forty or fifty years old, and he also had many feelings.

The three children didn't have enough eyes, looking around, chattering, jumping and leaping excitedly, fortunately, their adults were holding them tightly.

"Let's go, find a place to eat something first, it's noon, let's stroll slowly after eating."

"There are shops selling food over there, let's go see."

A group of people first went around to find something to eat, and only after they were full did they rush straight to the shopping mall impatiently.

The three children couldn't wait long ago, and as soon as they arrived at the shopping mall, they started looking for the electric refrigerator. Without Ye Yaodong asking, Ye Xiaoxi pulled a passerby and asked.

"Sister, you are so fair and beautiful, besides my mother, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, can you tell me where the electric refrigerator is? My dad wants to buy me an electric refrigerator."

The young girl who was suddenly pulled was instantly beaming with joy, laughing out loud, and even took out two White Rabbit creamy candies from her pocket and handed them to her, and pinched her fleshy cheeks.

"So cute, electrical appliances are on the top floor, you can see them when you go upstairs."

"Thank you, sister, you are beautiful and kind-hearted."

Ye Yaodong also thanked her, and then pulled her to walk forward.

"You have enough guts? You dare to pull a stranger to talk casually."

"Huh? If we don't ask, how do we know where it is? And that sister is so beautiful, she definitely isn't a bad person."

"Don't judge a book by its cover, understand? Besides, your dad knows where it is, why would I need to ask someone else?"

"Huh? You knew and didn't say."

"You didn't ask either, and didn't give me a chance to lead the way, just pulled someone casually to ask as soon as you came in."

"Alright."

Ye Xiaoxi looked back again, and then pulled him hard. "Dad, Dad, look, that sister keeps looking back at you."

Ye Yaodong looked back, then smiled, and hurriedly straightened Ye Xiaoxi's head.

"It means your dad is good-looking."

"But I think that brother is better looking, more handsome than you..."

Ye Xiaoxi pointed to a teenager in front wearing bell-bottom pants, a floral shirt, with a particularly large collar, shaking his legs, and lighting a cigarette in his hand.

Ye Yaodong took a look, and his face instantly turned black. "What kind of aesthetic is this? Let's go, do you still want to buy the refrigerator?"

"Is it not good-looking? But I think that brother is very good-looking."

"Good-looking my foot."

"Second brother, do you think that brother is good-looking?"

Ye Chengyang stole a glance at Ye Yaodong, then shook his head. "I think Dad is better looking."

Ye Chenghu interjected, "Nonsense, his clothes and pants are very good-looking..."

Ye Yaodong glared at him. "From now on, besides the refrigerator, you are not allowed to buy anything."

Ye Chenghu immediately stopped talking and closed his mouth tightly.

Old Xiao said with a smile, "Let's go see if the refrigerator is in stock first. Although it's not cheap, everyone's living standard is high now, maybe we'll have to queue, and maybe there's no stock."

Ye Yaodong also thought of the first department store in Shanghai, where the electrical appliance area was crowded with people, and everyone had to queue.

"Let's go see first, whatever can be bought, buy it first, and then leave it there, and move it last, that way we can stroll around with peace of mind."

"Dad, walk faster, hurry..."

Ye Xiaoxi walked in front, pulling Ye Yaodong, urging him to hurry.

The other two boys also broke free from the adults' hands impatiently and had already started climbing the stairs.

There was a loudspeaker at the stairwell shouting: Beware of pickpockets.

"Walk slower, don't get squeezed away by the crowd, hold hands, otherwise I'll send you back now."

The two boys rushing in front immediately stopped their steps and hurriedly returned to their side.

A group of people climbed the stairs and headed straight for the top floor.

The four or five-story building was crowded with people everywhere, there was no floor with few people, and it was in a state of being packed.

The electrical appliance area was also crowded with people, all queuing in several long lines waiting to issue tickets for purchase, and many people were carrying electric fans. In the current weather, electric fans were the best-selling.

Ye Xiaoxi pointed excitedly ahead, jumping up constantly. "Refrigerator, Dad, refrigerator, the refrigerator is there."

"I see it, let's go queue."

Ye Chenghu asked curiously, "It's so big, how do we move it home?"

"It's not moving it from here, first pay and issue a list, then take the list to the designated warehouse to pick up the goods, maybe we can't pick up the goods immediately, maybe we have to wait a few days."

"Huh? Can't move it home immediately?"

"Hard to say, have to see if there is stock, or maybe have to transfer goods? If there is ready-made, naturally it can be transported home immediately."

"Alright."

Chen Shi said, "I'll queue for you, there are many of us, and it's not easy to squeeze in with several children, I'll queue first, and call you when it's my turn."

"That works too."

Ye Yaodong took the three children inside to stroll around casually, looking at other small appliances and refrigerator displays.

Looked at it in advance, and when it was their turn to queue, they could directly report the brand and model, which would save trouble.

His family basically had everything, just missing an electric refrigerator, and other appliances had no attraction to him.

However, for Old Xiao and the three children, their eyes were shining, although they had all seen them, but how could they have seen so many, and they were all placed together, so they directly opened their eyes.

The three children kept wowing while walking, if it weren't for the shopping guide staring tightly and not letting people touch, they would have already touched them.

It wasn't just them whose eyes were shining, the people around were the same, looking with drooling eyes.

Ye Chenghu looked at everything. "Dad, which refrigerator are we buying? There are long ones here, and ones the same as the refrigerator in the school canteen."

"Let's buy a vertical double-door one. That kind in the school canteen is called a freezer, the power is a bit high, it shouldn't work at home. There is already a television at home, the power can't carry it, it's easy to trip the circuit breaker."

After Ye Chengyang finished listening, he pointed to the 'Xiangxuehai' brand in front. "Then buy this?"

Ye Xiaoxi pointed to another one. "Buy that one with two little people, that one is good-looking."

Ye Yaodong laughed. "This is Haier, you like cartoon characters, alright, just this one."

"Hmm, this refrigerator has two little people on it, it's better looking!"

Ye Yaodong directly asked the shopping guide if there was stock?

It was also their good luck, no need to wait, saying that not many people bought this double-door refrigerator, most people bought single-door ones or freezers, or those who bought double-door refrigerators chose imported brands, such as Panasonic, Siemens.

And the one they wanted happened to have stock, he directly asked the shopping guide to copy the model, and just waited for their turn to queue to pay and issue the list.

"Dad, can we stroll around after buying the refrigerator?" Ye Xiaoxi looked at him with bright eyes, grabbing his sleeve and shaking it back and forth.

It seemed to be asking, but actually she was already acting spoiled, begging him.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Then I'll take a look."

"Then after paying here, I'll take you to take a look around."

"Alright~"

The three had already started looking forward to it.

However, the queue was a bit long, and they queued for more than half an hour before it was their turn.

The refrigerator they chose cost 2800 for one, no wonder there was stock, no need to wait, this one refrigerator was equivalent to more than a year's income for a worker.

Heard that the main selling point was durability and power saving.

Ye Yaodong didn't know if it was durable or power-saving, anyway, the children liked it, so he bought it.

After issuing the ticket, the shopping guide wanted to take them to move the goods, he just said come back later, they wanted to stroll around now.

The three children couldn't wait long ago, and as soon as he finished speaking, they pulled him and walked out.

Ye Chenghu urged, "Dad, hurry up, there's no time."

"It's still early before the sun sets."

"Then hurry up, we can stroll for a while longer."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, he still had to buy some gifts, and then visit his godfather, feeling that it was a bit too late to go back today.

Leaving home too late this morning, actually it should have been setting off from home before dawn, and arriving here just when the shop opened for business.

Then stroll and buy in the morning, visit in the afternoon, go home at night, that would be reasonable.

"Let's not go home tonight, stay in the city for one night, and take you back tomorrow. I'll call your mother in a while, ask for half a day off for you tomorrow morning, and go to school tomorrow afternoon."

Ye Chenghu clenched his fist excitedly. "Yeah, that's great!"

Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi both shouted excitedly.

"That's great, we can stroll for a while longer today."

"Everyone is so excited, don't fail your final exams, one is thinking about going to Shanghai for high school, one is also thinking about going to Shanghai for junior high, and one is thinking about going to find her sister during summer vacation."

Ye Chenghu raised his chin confidently. "Dad, don't worry, the teacher said I've made great progress!"

Ye Chengyang also said happily, "Dad, brother is fine, I'm definitely fine too."

Ye Xiaoxi raised her hand and kept jumping there. "Dad, me too, me too, I can definitely score 100, I've scored 100 several times."

"Alright, as long as you have confidence, anyway, there's a reward if you do well, if you do badly, don't think about anything, just drift on the sea in the future, don't think about going ashore."

Ye Chenghu patted his chest. "Dad, don't worry, you have to have confidence in me! My handwriting has won awards!"

"That's still because your old man cultivated it well since childhood, buying you copybooks every day."

"Stop talking, this is all tears, others are playing happily, I have to write more than others every day."

"This is also for your own good."

Ye Chenghu turned a deaf ear, saw stationery being sold in front, and plunged into it, the two behind also ran scrambling.

And the three adults could only follow behind the three children.

It was just that the three children had extensive hobbies, they had to enter every shop to stroll around, and by the way, everyone could stroll to their heart's content, and those who needed to buy could also buy.

It was also fortunate that they didn't plan to go back tonight, so they could stroll until the shopping mall closed.

Ye Yaodong also bought some cigarettes, alcohol, and tea leaves, planning to visit his godfather after the shopping mall closed.

The unit would also be at work tomorrow, so it wasn't suitable to visit, today was a rest day, just right.

The time agreed with Aguang was also just right, the shopping mall here basically closed and got off work around 4:30, and it would be around 5 o'clock when they went back.

The three big and three small, also specifically stuck to the time when the shopping mall closed and came out, everyone was carrying full mesh bags in their hands, with a look of satisfaction.

Ye Chenghu looked around at the door. "Dad, are we going back now?"

"Otherwise?"

"I see that many shops on the street are still open..."

"Haven't bought enough?"

"No, I mean, do we want to eat outside?"

"Addicted to eating? There's a place to eat at night."

Ye Chengyang asked, "Dad, what time are we coming to move the refrigerator tomorrow?"

"Come move it when you wake up, and then go back directly after moving it. Let's go, stop looking, go find the tractor, go back early." After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he wanted to take the things in Ye Xiaoxi's hand and help her carry them.

She turned her body directly. "Don't want you to carry, I can carry it, I'll carry it myself!"

"Look at how rare you are, alright, then you carry it yourself."

The three children walked side by side, excitedly comparing whose things were more.

At this time, there were many fewer people around, after all, the shopping mall was about to close, and it was almost time to cook dinner, the pedestrians were basically going home.

Ye Yaodong wasn't worried about them being squeezed away, so he let them walk by themselves, and he followed by their side.

After finding the tractor, they went to the factory, and along the way he also wanted to see if he could run into Aguang and the others, so that he could bring them along directly.

However, by the time they arrived at the factory, they didn't see them, and when they asked others, they all said they didn't see them, so he let it go, maybe they were still outside looking for a suitable shop.

Can't write in time, there's another chapter. ===== CHAPTER 1595 =====
