Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 529 - 517: Television

"During New Year, didn’t you have your eye on the washing machine at Godmother’s house? Well, a few days ago, I called Brother Junzi, and he said the washing machine over there has been arranged. He asked if we wanted it. So, I got him to send one over," Lin Yinghui laughed.

"That’s great. Washing clothes will be so much easier now."

"Exactly. Yesterday, Ah Hui called me and asked me to help move the washing machine today. My mom was so envious when she heard about it. The factory director at our plant has one. It was expensive when he bought it, probably over six hundred," Li Congnan laughed.

"Brother, did Brother Junzi mention how much the Little Swan one costs?"

"Four hundred and twenty, plus ten industrial coupons."

Lin Wan thought it wasn’t expensive and nodded, picking up Little Star and urging her brothers to place the washing machine in the right spot.

"Xiao Wan, I’ve got some good news for you. Your Brother Nan is getting married soon. Make sure to prepare the gift money."

"So soon? I haven’t even met Saozi yet," Lin Wan was momentarily surprised and secretly thought Li Congnan was really fast.

"Hey, you’ll see her on the wedding day, what’s the rush? By the way, I got a color TV from a friend, and I came to ask if you guys want one. It’s a Panasonic, brought in by my friend from outside, not many available. They’re all large screens, 25 inches, 28 inches, everything."

"25 inches, 28 inches is still big?" The one at Godmother’s house is a 21-inch black and white. After getting used to huge LCD screens, it’s hard to adjust to watching such black and white ones. "Is there a bigger one?"

Li Congnan looked distressed and exclaimed, "My goodness, isn’t this big enough? Your Brother Nan isn’t short of money, right? Even I think the 28-inch is too expensive and reluctant to buy it. I only got a 25-inch one. It’s over 3000, you know. I wanted to get one for my parents too, but it’s just too expensive. In the end, I only got my mom a 19-inch color one, even that cost over a thousand."

"So expensive? How much is the 28-inch one?" Lin Wan frowned.

"4300. Do you dare to want it?"

Lin Wan raised her eyebrow, thought about her bank balance, and secretly wondered what was there not to dare.

This 4000 yuan could be made back in a month if she sold clothes well this time.

"I’ll take it, two 28-inch ones, get them for me."

As soon as Lin Wan spoke, even Lin Yinghui was shocked, "Little sister, have you lost your mind? Spending over four thousand on a metal box, why waste so much money? Don’t buy it, we don’t need it."

"Brother, it’s not just a metal box. With a TV, evenings won’t be boring anymore. I heard there are lots of wonderful dramas and movies recently. Let’s get two of them."

"Alright, even if we get one, we just want a black and white one. A black and white one is only about three or four hundred."

"Black and white ones aren’t as good as color. Ah Hui, it’s just a TV. Your family does so much business, are you short of money?" Li Congnan cast him a sideways glance.

"Brother Congnan, don’t listen to my brother. I’ve made the decision. Tell your friend to keep two 28-inch ones for me. If I’m buying, I’m going all out. I just want the big ones."

"Alright. Don’t worry, they’ll be delivered tomorrow barring any surprises. Just have the money ready."

"Don’t worry."

Lin Yinghui watched the spendthrift sister at the side, shaking his head helplessly. He couldn’t do anything about her.

"Xiao Wan, Brother also wants to ask you for a favor this time," said Li Congnan, after moving the washing machine with Lin Yinghui, smiling as he handed over Little Star.

"What is it?"

"I’m getting married, and I’d like Sister Lin to make wedding clothes for us. What do you say? Whatever the cost, your brother won’t haggle."

Lin Wan covered her mouth and laughed at Li Congnan, "Brother Congnan, you’re always teasing me. There’s no need to be so formal about money or not. Don’t worry, I’ll handle the wedding attire. What style are you thinking of?"

"Something that suits the not-too-hot-or-cold weather at the start of May, just make it look good. The key is the bride’s side; for us men, we’ll wear anything." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Wan gave him a sideways glance and smiled, "Then when are you bringing over the future Saozi for me to measure her size?"

"Sure, no problem."

...

Liang Hongmei returned home in the evening and was extremely curious when she saw the washing machine.

The mother and daughter didn’t bother with resting. They handed the kid over to Lin Yinghui and took a few clothes, starting to wash them in the middle of the night.

Lin Wan knew all about it. Initially, she was teaching Liang Hongmei. It’s a twin tub, and you have to add water manually. It’s actually quite troublesome.

But compared to hand washing, it’s much easier, especially when it gets cold. Washing thick clothes will save a lot of effort every day.
