A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After shopping at the Friendship Store, the two went to the Overseas Chinese Store. The things sold there were similar, so they didn't spend much time shopping there.

Gu Qinghuan was going to buy some domestic electrical appliances. Although the Friendship Store sold electrical appliances imported from China, she still wanted to support domestic products. It was not easy for Chinese electrical appliances to get started, so she wanted to support them as much as she could.

Domestic electrical appliances are sold in department stores.

During this period, common electrical appliances in Chinese households included black and white televisions, radios, fans, etc.

Of course, there are refrigerators and washing machines, but they have not yet become necessities for family life and are still quite a luxury for ordinary families.

Gu Qinghuan has already consulted Gu Lanting's opinion. He has to go to school and come home every day and has no time to watch TV. It is useless to watch TV at home.

Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huaian might have to take their children back to Xujiatun soon, so they decided not to buy a TV for their home for the time being.

As for Ming Ruxue, she doesn't like watching TV either. Apart from attending classes, she has many other hobbies, such as running, learning martial arts, and occasionally watching a movie, so there is no need to buy a TV where she lives for the time being.

You can have two radios, sometimes you can listen to the news or play some songs.

A refrigerator is also a necessity. It is convenient to store vegetables and meat.

However, due to limitations in production technology, today’s refrigerators are smaller in size and simpler in function, but they are sufficient.

The washing machine only has semi-automatic washing mode, but it's better than nothing, so I'll just buy two.

She hadn't originally planned to buy the fan, after all, it was winter, but she happened to come across a promotion.

In addition, he was worried that it would be summer, so Gu Lanting was reluctant to spend money and refused to buy it.

So she simply took two as backup.

Bailan brand single-cylinder washing machine, priced at 199 yuan per unit.

Xiangxuehai 125L single-door refrigerator, 685 per unit.

Haishi brand floor fan, 135 yuan per unit.

The Hongdeng brand dual-speaker radio costs 98 yuan.

There were two sets of everything, and the total cost was 2234 yuan, of course, including the corresponding tickets.

There was still a missing refrigerator ticket in the ticket pack that Ming Ruxue had prepared. Finally, a big sister at the counter saw that Ming Ruxue had TV tickets in her hand and exchanged her refrigerator tickets with them.

Then I bought everything.

People passing by the counter looked at them, because it was really rare to buy so many home appliances at one time, and in sets at that.

Not to mention the tickets, even the more than 2,000 yuan here is not something an ordinary person can come up with.

An ordinary working-class family would have to go without food or drink for five years to earn this much money.

The lady at the counter was all smiles and took down their addresses for home delivery.

After coming out of the department store, Ming Ruxue took out the money she had prepared from her bag and handed it over.

"Sister, this is my share."

Ming Ruxue felt that since she enjoyed these things, she should pay for them herself.

Gu Qinghuan waved his hand to disagree.

Ming Ruxue was just staying in the small western-style house temporarily, so she shouldn't have to pay for its decoration. Besides, based on their childhood friendship, it was impossible for him to accept her money.

"Ruxue, I'm already very embarrassed to ask you to get the tickets. I will never accept any money. Although I'm working in the countryside now, my family is not as difficult as you think. You don't have to feel any burden." Gu Qinghuan said seriously.

That's true. Judging from their daily consumption, food and drink, as well as the things Gu Qinghuan bought for the small villa, they should not be short of money.

Ming Ruxue thought about it and handed over the money: "Then I won't insist, but you have to accept this money. Just treat it as one year's rent."

They had not agreed on the rent before, but Ming Ruxue would definitely not let them suffer a loss. The twelve hundred yuan would be considered as one year's rent, or one hundred yuan a month.

Gu Qinghuan smiled bitterly. This girl was really too generous. If she gave her more, she would not be able to hold back. After all, she was not financially independent yet. She had been shopping a lot recently and her wallet had shrunk significantly.

Resisting the temptation of the money, Gu Qinghuan stepped back again.

"Those tickets you have are just rent. You don't need to pay anything extra."

"I got my tickets for free, how can they be used as rent? Sister, please accept them, otherwise I won't feel at ease living here." Ming Ruxue was anxious.

"How can it be free? You got these tickets because of favors from people. Sometimes favors are more valuable than money.

Ruxue, given the relationship between our two families, you really don’t need to give me money, otherwise how will I face Uncle Ming and Aunt Ming in the future.

If you really feel embarrassed, then do me a favor!"

The last sentence successfully diverted Ming Ruxue's attention.

"What favor? I will definitely help you."

"I have to go back to Northeast China soon. Lanting is here alone, and I'm worried that he won't be able to cope.

He just moved out of home to live independently, and he has a silly personality. I'm afraid he'll get taken advantage of.

You are smart, capable and independent. I want you to help me take care of him, watch over him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid or bold again.

If there is any movement, please inform me."

For example, she found out about it from Zhong Luo Ning, as he had run away from home for nearly two months.

She was worried that if she was not around and could not look after him, the child might do something again and ruin his own future.

"Is this like the double agents in the movies?" Ming Ruxue was still young after all, and she treated this as a game.

"Sister, don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely protect him and let you know if anything happens."

"Okay, then it's settled."

It took a lot of persuasion to get Ming Ruxue to take the money back. It's tiring to think about it. Others were trying every means to get the money back, but she was trying every means to get the money out.

Dabao kept watching the actions between Gu Qinghuan and Ming Ruxue.

Gu Qinghuan's way of dealing with people also laid a certain foundation for his future social skills.

He gradually began to understand what it meant that a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

Does Gu Qinghuan love money? That's for sure. She even exchanges wild vegetables for money, and she won't let go of anything in the mountains that can be exchanged for money.

But some wealth cannot be loved, and people must have principles to go further.

"Mom, have you bought everything?" Dabao tugged at her sleeve.

"What's wrong, Dabao?"

"Can you take me to the grocery store, Mom?" Dabao held his three dollars tightly in his hand. He already had some preliminary ideas about what to do with the money.

Seeing him hesitate all the way and finally make up his mind, Gu Qinghuan smiled secretly in her heart. She probably knew what he was going to do.
