Chapter 260 Don’t you want to buy a TV?
While Chen Hui was still thinking about whether he should make some noise to alert Wu Shuisheng, Chen Huihong had already strode in.
Chen Hui hurriedly followed in and heard the voice coming from the TV:
"Today is the last time I fight you. If you lose, leave Peach Blossom Island immediately."
"I don't want to leave! Unless you return the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual to me!"
"You can't do that even if you don't want to!"
Oh, it's okay.
Chen Hui relaxed and followed Chen Huihong in.
There were many people sitting in the hall of the same village, all of them watching with great interest the fight between Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong, who were jumping among the rocks, on the 17-inch black and white TV.
Huang Yaoshi held the jade flute in his hand, ready to attack Zhou Botong from behind, but Zhou Botong blocked it in time with both hands to protect his chrysanthemum.
This caused people in the hall to burst into laughter.
Chen Huihong, who was standing at the back, also started laughing and waved to Chen Hui, signaling him to go back first.
I couldn't find a stool, so I sat on the last staircase and watched.
It seemed that everyone was used to people coming and going in the house, and her arrival didn't even attract anyone's attention.
After getting used to the super large screen, the small black and white TV is still not fun to watch.
Chen Hui also watched for a minute or two, smiled, and turned away.
After waiting outside the door for two or three minutes, An Wenjing came over on a bike with the passbook and money.
"Where is my aunt?" An Wenjing stopped the car and asked.
"Watching TV inside."
"what?!"
"Let's go and save some money first!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he got on the bike and took An Wenjing to the town to deposit the money.
I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative in town and went in to ask about the current price of televisions.
The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative shook their heads and said, "For such high-end items, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county and ask. It's probably around 500 or 600 yuan. I don't know the exact price."
"Brother Chen Hui, are you planning to buy a TV?" An Wenjing asked as the two walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Chen Hui shook his head and said, "I just saw it and asked casually."
It was getting late, so Chen Hui didn't continue wandering around the town. He bought some pork, and the two of them prepared to go back to Chen Huihong's house for lunch.
"Aunt! We are back!"
An Wenjing shouted loudly and entered the room.
The only response she got was the sea breeze blowing through the village.
The fishing nets brought back from the sea were still piled up on one side of the yard. The house was empty, with no one in it.
"Aunt! Aunt!"
"Eh? Brother Chen Hui, your aunt isn't home!?"
An Wenjing came out of the house and said to Chen Hui who had parked the car.
"It's over. My aunt is just as addicted to TV dramas as my uncle."
"Forget it, let's cook the meal and let them watch for a while longer."
Chen Hui talked and laughed, and called An Wenjing to light the fire, while he washed the rice and steamed it.
I rinsed the pork belly I bought, cut it into pieces, put it on a plate and put it aside, then started looking for vegetables at home.
After Chen Hui finished washing the vegetables, Chen Huihong and Wu Shuisheng came back discussing the plot, talking and laughing.
Seeing Chen Hui busy behind the stove, she quickly put on an apron and came over.
"Oh, you are so lucky now."
"If I had known Chen Hui could cook, we would have watched something else."
Wu Shuisheng joked, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and sat down to drink it.
"What are you talking about? It's all your fault! I haven't cooked a meal and I haven't mended my fishing nets."
Chen Huihong cursed with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
She picked up the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her waist, then walked behind the big stove and said with a smile, "I'll do it, I'll do it. You've been running all morning, go sit down and rest for a while."
"How did I hurt you? I didn't ask you to go!" "Such a good TV show, but you didn't ask me to go. What else do you have to say?"
"."
Wu Shuisheng had nothing to say, so he could only pretend he didn't hear it and drink his tea with his head down.
"I just asked and they said it would cost about 500 to 600 yuan to buy a black and white TV. Can you buy one for yourself?"
The cooking job was taken back by Chen Huihong.
Chen Hui also came over and sat down to drink tea, and handed the money from selling lobsters to Wu Shuisheng.
"There's nothing better to do with five or six hundred yuan. There's no need to buy a TV."
Wu Shuisheng said casually, opened the money and counted it, and said in surprise: "So much? Chen Yaozu is very generous this time."
"I didn't sell it to Uncle Yaozu. I sold it to the rich ladies who went out to sea with me last time." Chen Hui said.
"Hello, rich lady! I like rich ladies the most!"
Wu Shuisheng kept talking as he counted the money again and divided it into four equal parts.
"Wu Shuisheng! What did you say?!" Chen Huihong asked behind the stove.
"I said I was going to give money to Wu Guang and the others! So they don't have to go out after dinner!" Wu Shuisheng retorted in a weird tone.
He handed his share of the money to Chen Hui and motioned him to give it to Chen Huihong.
He grabbed the rest of the money and walked out quickly.
"Hey, your uncle gave it to you!"
Chen Huihong took the money and counted it again, then said happily, "Who doesn't like a rich lady? I like her too."
Wu Shuisheng walked quickly and returned in time for lunch after delivering the money.
I drank a little wine at lunch and went back to my room to catch up on some sleep.
Chen Huihong was mending a fishing net in the yard, humming a tune from a TV drama.
"Aunt, Wenjing and I are going to go out for a while. We will be back to mend the fishing net with you later."
Chen Hui had been running all morning and finally had time to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and come out with his wet hair wiped.
"No need. I can fix this fishing net in no time."
"But if you're not going back upstairs to sleep, what are you going to do?" Chen Huihong stopped what she was doing and asked.
"Anyway, we're not going to see the love story between Hero Guo and Lady Huang!"
Chen Hui joked and ran out of the door holding An Wenjing's hand.
Seeing that Chen Huihong did not catch up with him, he curiously leaned back to look, and saw a large group of fishing nets flying towards him.
Chen Hui quickly caught the fishing net, put it by the door and said, "Aunt, you can't throw this away! This is for eating!"
"Hmph! I'll deal with you after I finish making these webs."
Chen Huihong was too lazy to stand up. She cursed with a smile and continued to mend the fishing nets.
"Brother Chen Hui, where are we going? To find Wu Si?" An Wenjing asked.
"We're not looking for Wu Si today, we're looking for Wu Da today!"
"Wu Da?! Who is it?"
"Wu Dahua, isn't he the eldest in his family?"
Chen Hui walked happily forward holding An Wenjing's hand, and on the way he told her about the agreement he had made with Wu Dahua to go to his house to buy plum trees.
"Huang Shuqing's yard is good in every other way except that it lacks some large flowers, plants and trees."
"Plus, the yard is not very big, with a bunch of small flowers, grass, rockery and fish crammed together, it looks very small."
"We're selling two plum trees to plant in the backyard."
"Enjoying flowers in spring and eating plums in summer will give you a poetic and picturesque flavor."
In Chen Hui's mind, the small garden in the backyard of the new house has taken shape.
The two men walked to the door of Wu Guang's house. Chen Hui stopped and suddenly went forward and knocked on the door.
"Brother Chen Hui, aren't we going to look for Wu Dahua?" An Wenjing was confused.
