Chapter 397 Queue
After lunch, Jiang Xia slept for an hour before getting up. Jiang’s father and mother both went to work.
Jiang''s mother packed up two red, white and blue plastic bags and took them home for Jiang Xia.
A bag of babies was made by her factory workers, holding quilts and diapers.
They are all made of the softest and breathable fabric she has personally selected.
The factory started to have a holiday in January. Now it’s relatively idle at the end of the year, so I’m busy getting in summer when I come back.
The other bag was the maternity suit she bought for Jiang Xia. It would be time to look pregnant in a while, so she prepared some in advance.
Jiang Xia left two chickens and a pound of sea cucumbers for Jiang’s father and mother. The aunt asked the chicken to be killed and put it in the refrigerator, and then left with Zhou Chenglei.
The couple went to the tractor first and put the license plate.
There is not enough time to do this in the morning.
Fortunately, I submitted my information to apply for a license before. The license has been completed and I can register directly when I come.
After getting the cards, the two went to the Friendship Mall again. Jiang Xia wanted to buy underwear. She went in and asked Zhou Chenglei to see other things.
There are no styles of underwear nowadays. Fortunately, she is still young and looks good, so she doesn’t need any functions.
I picked a few of the most comfortable vest-style sports underwear and vintage cotton fabric.
After buying it, she went to find Zhou Chenglei.
Jiang Xia saw him holding something in his hand: "What did you buy?"
“Clothes and hair dryers.”
Jiang Xia smiled: "Have you bought a hair dryer?"
Every time I come, I am out of stock.
Jiang Xia took a look and saw that he had bought her two more sets of clothes.
"There are too many clothes, so there is no need to buy them. My mother gave me another bag today."
"These two sets are not that thick, and they can be worn when the weather is not that cold." He thought Jiang Xia looked good when she saw it, so he bought it.
Jiang Xia: "The wardrobe can''t be installed now."
"There are still free rooms on the second floor. Then you can get a few more wardrobes and put them in special clothes."
He took the things from Jiang Xia and carried them himself.
Jiang Xia asked: "Did you buy the water heater?"
“There is no goods.”
Jiang''s father knew that they planned to buy a water heater, so he said that it should be out of stock.
It’s still winter now, and the water heater sells very well.
Mainly, the only domestic water heaters in this era are Yuhuan direct discharge water heaters, and the four major families of water heaters have not yet appeared.
Zhou Chenglei asked the other party when the stock will be available. The other party stated that it will be available tomorrow, first come first served.
Jiang''s father said he would buy one for them, but Zhou Chenglei wanted to buy three, at least two.
One on the first floor, one on the second floor.
He was wondering if he would ask someone to help him buy it, so he would not bother Jiang’s father.
The couple went to buy three chandeliers and saw electric fans selling them, including three diamond plaza fans and one ceiling fan.
Zhou Chenglei took out the industrial ticket without hesitation and bought it all.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to buy electric fans in summer, and there will be long queues.
The matter was completed and it was already past five o''clock.
If Zhou Chenglei usually went home, but now it was dark at 6 o''clock, and he couldn''t see the road clearly, so he wouldn''t be so stable when driving a tractor.
He took Jiang Xia and didn''t take this risk, so he simply went back to Jiang''s house to stay for one night.
Zhou Chenglei called back to the village and told his mother that she would not go home tomorrow and would stay at Jiang''s house tonight.
Then the next day he got up at half past four to queue up to buy an electric water heater.
When he arrived, it was not yet five o''clock and there were no one else.
There were no people on the street.
Probably because the weather is very cold today.
After waiting for a while, Jiang''s father also came to queue up.
Zhou Chenglei: "Dad, it''s so cold, why are you getting up so early? Go back! I''ll just queue up here."
Jiang''s father smiled and said, "I get up early every day to exercise. I''m fine. I''ll queue up together and buy one more. There are all upstairs and downstairs." When I was having dinner, I knew that the house built by my daughter and son-in-law had three floors, so he thought that a water heater was probably not enough.
Anyway, he gets up early every day to exercise, so he comes to queue up.
So the father-in-law and son-in-law stood in the biting cold wind, talking and waiting.
In the dim sky, you can see the air emitted by two people when they speak.
After a while, someone came, and then someone came one after another.
By dawn, the team was already long.
At half past six, someone came to the team to sell buns.
Zhou Chenglei bought buns, and Jiang’s father reminded him not to buy too much, and Jiang’s mother would bring breakfast.
Zhou Chenglei bought four buns, one and two with Jiang’s father.
The steaming bun is not that cold after drinking.
At 7:30, Jiang''s mother drove over with Jiang Xia and brought breakfast to the two of them.
The mother and daughter got out of the car and said to them, "There is breakfast in the car, you can go and have a meal in the car! Let''s queue up."
Jiang Xia said again: "Dad, you go to work after breakfast! Mom, so do you, I''ll just queue up."
"Okay." Jiang''s father responded, took off the scarf from his neck, and wrapped it around his daughter''s neck.
A reporter on the way to work saw this and quickly took a picture of this scene.
Jiang''s father put a scarf on his daughter before he got on the bus and had breakfast with his son-in-law.
Neither of them was full just now, and only ate two buns to make their stomachs.
The people in the team looked at the car and then the mother and daughter.
If you are so rich, do you have to get up early in the morning to buy a water heater?
Some people even recognized Jiang’s father and were even more shocked!
Everyone in the queue knows that it will arrive before the first five o''clock!
Zhou Chenglei returned to the line after breakfast.
Jiang''s mother told the two to be careful on the way home, so she went to work with Jiang''s father.
The store will open as soon as eight o''clock.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei bought a water heater one by one.
Someone asked the couple why they bought two, and Zhou Chenglei said: "One is for parents."
Then he carried a water heater in one hand and went back to the Jiang family with Jiangxia, drove a tractor back to the village, and went to the textile factory by the way.
Jiang Xia’s customized fabric has come out and they took it home successfully.
I returned to the village and it was only past nine o''clock.
Zhou''s mother was pouring sausages.
The yard was covered with pieces of bacon, and the fat and thin were mixed.
Jiang Xia washed his hands, put on an apron and sleeves, and then stepped forward to help.
Zhou''s mother smiled and said, "I made pork-legged vinegar, you go and eat some."
Jiang Xia: "I''ll eat it later. Have you made all the pigs bacon and sausages?"
"Absolutely, I left some lean meat and put the pork leg meat in the refrigerator at the purchase office to keep it fresh. A Lei said that I would keep it for pork jerky, pig head, pig red and pig offal to my neighbors. I left some pig red and a pig belly, and planned to make a pig belly chicken today. Your sister-in-law''s pig originally wanted to sell half of it, and keep half for bacon. I also asked for the other half and make bacon sausages. At that time, will A Lei give gifts at the end of the year? You can give it to you."
"We still have a pig. If you kill it the day before moving to the new house, you don''t have to buy pork. I''ll give the remaining half to your elder brother."
"Okay." Jiang Xia replied.
Jiang Xia is familiar with the sausages, and after Zhou Chenglei moved all the things, he also came to help.
All three of them worked neatly, and they filled dozens of kilograms of meat in an hour.
Zhou Chenglei took it to the rooftop on the other side of the new house to dry.
Zhou''s mother took a few toothpicks and had to pierce some small holes into the sausage. In the living room, she saw several fans on the ground, "Why did you buy so many fans?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It just so happened that our family had a room with a ceiling fan installed in the dining room. When it was summer, it would be hot to eat and sleep."
Jiang Xia imagined that installing a ceiling fan should not look ugly, and there is nothing to do if you look ugly. Practicality is the priority. It is really hot to eat in summer!
"This also costs too much money. We are not afraid of heat when we are old." Zhou''s mother felt sorry for her son spending too much money on them, but she felt warm.
Son, daughter-in-law is filial, buy the best of everything for them, and they never have a lot of everything. How can they be unhappy?

The next morning, the production team delivered the newspaper ordered by Zhou Chenglei and said excitedly:
"A Lei, Xiao Xia, you are in the newspaper!"
