Chapter 31
"These three electrical appliances were indeed bought by Lu Hao, not mine. The only one I bought was a refrigerator." Liu Yan's voice was as low as a mosquito.
She was extremely reluctant to explain, but the neighbors looked at her and made her even more embarrassed.
Buying an air conditioner was originally a happy thing, and she had already thought about it. She would show off the air conditioner when she came back from buying it, but now she just wished that everyone could not see her, so it was best not to ask anything.
But the neighbors didn't hear her voice at all. They all screamed in a fuss as if they had seen a ghost.
"Did Lu Hao really buy it?"
"You and your wife are both employees of a garment factory, so why did you buy an air conditioner? Lu Hao was fired, but he bought three electrical appliances when he lost his job."
"Lu Hao really made a fortune and became a boss."
"If you think about it carefully, there are already traces. Every day when he comes back, he goes to the canteen to buy ice-cold soda, and from time to time he even brings a roast chicken. How can ordinary people afford this kind of consumption?"
"Lu Hao, congratulations. I've known for a long time that you will definitely get rich, but now I'm still discerning." Someone immediately changed their expression and congratulated Lu Hao.
Everyone else also reacted and greeted Lu Hao with smiles.
I used to show off my face a lot, but now I pay a lot of compliments.
"I heard that many people have made a fortune by going to sea. It is wise for you, Lu Hao, to quit your job in the garment factory."
"What kind of job do you do to earn so much money?"
"Su Min is really discerning. She married such a good man."
These aunts and uncles don't know what shame is. They were criticizing Lu Hao a few minutes ago, but now they are all praising him.
I'm not embarrassed at all, my face looks very natural.
Xu Yuanpeng and Liu Yan were both stunned.
Isn't the speed of this change too fast?
But even though he was thick-skinned, Lu Hao was really not afraid of them. As if these people were not scolding him before, he smiled naturally, "I want to do a small business and make a little money, but I have to trouble everyone to help me carry my things to the house."
It’s too heavy for me to carry it alone.”
Children talk about right and wrong, adults talk about interests!
These neighbors are indeed a bit philistine, but there is no need to turn against each other.
His attitude made all the neighbors secretly surprised, there was actually someone more shameless than himself?!
Everyone has a feeling in their heart of "I'm going to take care of this young man".
"It should be."
"We'll help you carry it."
"We are all neighbors, why are we so polite?"
A group of people immediately picked up the electrical appliances and gathered around Lu Hao's home.
At the turn of the stairs, only Xu Yuanpeng and Liu Yan were left.
"What should we do? Our air conditioner is still down there, and no one is helping to move it." Liu Yan said angrily.
"What can we do? You come with me to move." Xu Yuanpeng sighed, "We are really embarrassed today. It's all Lu Hao's fault. If it weren't for him, how could we be so embarrassed in front of the neighbors?"
"Don't worry, he won't be around for long. Didn't he just buy three electrical appliances? He's so high-profile, for fear that the neighbors won't know about it, so he goes to do business in the sea? Damn it!" Liu Yan scolded, "You can't make money by doing a serious business.
It’s so easy to show off your money?!”
The two of them completely forgot that they dragged Lu Hao and Su Min to the mall together to see each other's jokes, but they themselves became the joke.
The decorator was very capable and quickly installed the air conditioner, and just plugged in the TV and refrigerator.
Before leaving, Lu Hao bought a pack of cigarettes for the decorator, ordered some sodas from the canteen, and picked up a bag of melon seeds and peanuts.
"Come on, come on, everyone, go upstairs and turn on the air conditioner in my room, drink soda, and eat melon seeds. I'll treat you."
He greeted the neighbors around him.
With his current worth, he can afford something worth tens of dollars.
"You have really become a big boss, how generous you are."
"You still have a conscience. Even though you have made a lot of money, you don't look down on us poor neighbors."
Everyone was smiling and happy to have free soda, melon seeds and flowers to eat.
Regarding these compliments, Lu Hao went in one ear and out the other, thinking it was just farts.
We still have to live here for the time being, and the relationship between neighbors cannot be too tense.
Moreover, the garment factory will close down soon. If you build a good relationship with the employees there in advance, you might be able to get a piece of the pie.
A group of people went to Lu Hao's house, turned on the air conditioner, watched TV, drank soda, and ate melon seeds. When it was almost time to have dinner, everyone slowly dispersed.
Only Lu Hao, Su Min, and Nini's family were left in the room.
"Husband, didn't you say that these neighbors hate the poor and love the rich? Why did you specially call them to come over to blow on the air conditioner, watch TV, and even bought them soda to drink?" Su Min asked strangely.
She took the rag and wiped the TV and refrigerator even if there was no dust on them.
Thousands of dollars worth of stuff, it's such a treasure. Even if it's not dusty, I still feel empty inside if I don't wipe it clean twice.
"In the past, your husband was useless and you were laughed at by these neighbors for many years, which made Nini feel wronged. Now that your husband is a bit prosperous and has bought so many electrical appliances, you must not let these snobbish neighbors come over to take a look.
Take a look?" Lu Hao said with a smile, "I have to let them know that Su Min's man is no longer a bastard and can make his wife happy, so that they can envy you for marrying a good man!"
Not returning wealth to one's hometown is like walking in brocade at night, the same principle applies.
Some wealth cannot be revealed, but some wealth should be revealed.
However, what he said was only one layer of reasons, and the other layer was secretly planning the garment factory.
In the eyes of others, these state-owned enterprises are iron rice bowls, but in his eyes, they are fat meat that is about to fall off at any time. He must seize the opportunity to take a bite!
Mouth full of oil!
At night, the air conditioner is on.
The cool air was blowing, and the small room that was originally stuffy now seemed very cool.
A family of three sits around the table and eats.
The color TV set next to it was also on, showing cartoons and "Tales from the Heavenly Book".
Lu Hao picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in Nini's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad." Nini was very polite.
These are what Su Min usually teaches.
"Is the air conditioner comfortable?" Lu Hao asked.
"It's so cool, and the TV looks great." She narrowed her eyes, "Dad, when I go to my grandma's house, I don't have to compete with them to watch the TV. I have one at home too, and dad bought it for me."
In the past, when the family went back to Su Min's parents' house, several children would rush to watch the TV, and Nini was always scolded.
Although she didn't cry, she actually always understood in her heart.
That night, the air conditioner was on, and the family slept very comfortably. It was even a little cool at night. In the middle of the night, Su Min got up and found a thin blanket to cover the three of them.
"Your hands are dishonest again." As soon as she lay down, Lu Hao's hand came over and she patted it twice.
My man is so angry that the air conditioner cannot be turned down even if it is turned on so low.
