Chapter 225
The big refrigerator in Yu Li's house shocked the whole family compound.
Nowadays, everyone's salary is generally a few dozen yuan a month, but this refrigerator costs more than 3,000 yuan!
That is something that ordinary people can't afford or even think about.
Although everyone knows that Yu Li has several businesses, each of which is very good, so she can make so much money.
But the envy can't be concealed, and they all go to Captain Lu's house to visit the big refrigerator with curiosity.
"Oh my god, this refrigerator is so stylish! There is really air conditioning inside, just like winter!"
"Will things really not go bad if they are put in? Sister Yu, if there are dishes that we can't finish eating at home, can we put them here? Otherwise, the weather is hot overnight and the food will go bad, especially the fish and meat, which are hard to eat once, it's a pity if they go bad!"
"Yes, my family didn't finish the local chicken soup stewed yesterday, it would be great if it could be put in the refrigerator!"
Everyone looked at Yu Li's face carefully.
In fact, Yu Li had considered it before buying a refrigerator. This refrigerator is a rare item. It is really not easy to buy one in this era.
The family compound is a collective. Most people are relatively simple and honest. If someone has any problems, they will help each other.
It is very common to borrow eggs or clothes.
But she worked hard to earn money to buy a refrigerator, and she really didn't want to make things convenient for others and embarrass herself.
So she smiled calmly: "Of course! But there are many sisters-in-law in our family compound, and it won't fit if they are all put in. We have a lot of things at home, so let's put half of the space for our own things in the future, and the rest of the space will be used for the sisters-in-law's things. But the space is so small, it depends on the situation of each family in the future. In short, we are all a family, and we should help each other!"
It's very good to put it in occasionally, and the sisters-in-law who came to watch also nodded happily: "Of course! Sister Yu is generous and open-minded!"
That night, someone brought their unfinished fried meat slices in, and someone put half a fish in. It didn't take long for the refrigerator to be full.
But most people who occupied Yu Li's refrigerator like this would say thank you, and some people who know how to behave would even bring leeks and other things to Yu Li.
In the evening, Yu Li and her grandmother fried leeks and eggs for Lu Guanshan to drink with.
He just came back from training, sweating all over, feeling hot inside, and after taking a shower, he sat down and drank a sip of ice beer, which was so refreshing!
Lu Guanshan couldn't help but sighed comfortably: "Wife, I am purely benefiting from you."
Yu Li also wanted to eat ice, but she was a Chinese medicine practitioner and knew what cold meant to a pregnant woman, so she only tasted a small half cup of ice soda, and she felt refreshed!
Even Grandma Lu was amazed: "It's great to have a refrigerator. When summer comes, we don't have to go to the store to eat popsicles. The times are developing fast, and people are enjoying more and more happiness.
I wonder what new things will appear in a few decades? I'm really curious and want to see."
Looking at the expectant eyes of grandma, Yu Li smiled and said: "Grandma, in the future there will be not only refrigerators, but also air conditioners. Now there are already air conditioners abroad. Install an air conditioner in the house, and press a button to control the temperature of the whole house. The temperature of more than 30 degrees can be reduced to more than 10 degrees."
Grandma Lu said in surprise: "What? There is such a thing? That's amazing! The fan is very cool, what's the use of air conditioning?"
Yu Li thought from the perspective of grandma, and was indeed impressed by the amazing power of technology.
In a few decades, not only will air conditioning be popular, but there will also be all kinds of advanced laptops and mobile phones. You can watch TV series online at any time. When you miss your family, you can open a video. You don’t even need to bring cash when buying things on the road. You can just take out your mobile phone or face the instrument to scan it...
Lu Guanshan watched his wife and grandmother talking about what might happen in the future. He listened and drank cold beer. The joy was simply indescribable.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Lu Guanshan to treat guests.
He was promoted to the head of the group. According to custom, he must treat guests to dinner, otherwise he would not explain it in front of his colleagues.
Yu Li is pregnant now, so Lu Guanshan naturally doesn’t want to bother her to cook, and specially invites sister-in-law Zhang Wenli and sister-in-law Sun Caomiao to help.
But both of them know that their cooking skills are not as good as Yu Li, so they still have to refer to Yu Li’s opinions when making any dishes.
It is indeed not as easy to work with a big belly compared to before, and Yu Li didn’t want to embarrass herself. She directly told the two sisters-in-law a recipe for braised meat.
"Let's just braise a big pot of meat, pig head, pig ears, big bones, and braise some chicken feet, eggs, kelp, etc., so that we can make a lot of dishes in one pot. For the rest, we can just stir-fry a few vegetarian dishes, which will be much more convenient."
At first, Zhang Wenli thought that since it was Captain Lu's treat, would it be not good enough to just braise the meat?
But when the braised meat pot was boiled and the flavor was absorbed, she couldn't help sniffing, her eyes lit up: "Oh my god, this smells so good that it will kill those people!"
Yu Li also felt hungry after smelling the braised meat: "Sister Zhang, let's make these shredded potatoes sour and spicy, to go with the wine!"
Zhang Wenli nodded: "Okay, I'll cut some peppers!"
Sun Caomiao was panting and frying snails. She was responsible for the hands-on work, and Yu Li was responsible for controlling the proportion of various seasonings and the timing of adding them.
There were already many guests in the yard outside, all talking and laughing in a lively manner.
Suddenly, a horn sounded, and Sun Caocaomiao paused with the shovel in her hand, and said with a not very happy face: "Two sisters-in-law, have you heard about the new commander Zheng Lida and his daughter Zheng Rumo?"
Zhang Wenli immediately replied: "I know, Zheng Rumo is a female soldier, she is carefree, and she is the only female soldier company commander in our garrison. What's wrong, Caomiao? Do you know her?"
Sun Caomiao was silent for a while and said: "She is indeed carefree and can drive a car. The sound of honking the horn just now is probably her!"
But there are some things she doesn't know how to say.
She can only remind Yu Li: "You...you'd better pay more attention to Captain Lu. I heard that Zheng Rumo followed her father to our garrison and went to see Captain Lu a lot!"
Besides, both of them are military officers, so they have more common topics.
Yu Li felt strange. If Zheng Rumo and Lu Guanshan were very close, she should be unhappy. Why is Sister Sun more unhappy than her?
The three of them looked out the window at the same time.
A short-haired female soldier wearing a grass-green uniform and military boots came in. She punched Sun Caomiao's husband generously: "Good boy! I told you that we brothers would go shooting together, but you came here first. Why are you being so shy like a woman? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
