Chapter 91 Heat is coming
“Wow, Mom, it’s so hot that you don’t even need to turn on the air conditioner.”
“Mom, bring me a glass of ice water.”
Ayao and Azu turned on the air conditioner as soon as they got home from work that day and blew it around the air outlet. They also ordered their mother to work. It seemed that it was too hot. Kang Qirui sighed: "Today is really hot. The newspaper said that tomorrow is likely to break the record high temperature recorded last year, reaching 39 degrees."
"What? 39 degrees?" Azu wailed. Said: "Then taking the bus is like taking a sauna?" At the beginning of last month, Guangfu's transportation department determined that Guangfu's public transportation industry will develop in the direction of convenience, comfort, and high-end, requiring new or updated vehicles in the future. All are air-conditioned vehicles. But there are still a lot of non-air-conditioned buses running, and there is not even one air-conditioned bus on the line where Azu goes to work.
"Help, help, it's so hot." As soon as the second brother and second sister-in-law came back, they drove Ayao and Azu away, and the couple occupied the air outlet of the air conditioner. The second guy said worriedly: "Today is only August 16th, and it will be hot for at least more than a month. How are you going to live like this?" The weather in Guangfu doesn't feel like autumn until October at least, and you can still wear short-sleeved clothes in December. , the second guy’s worries are not unreasonable.
Yumi was so hot that her clothes were soaked through and turned into translucent clothes. She sighed as soon as she entered the door, "How can you sleep at night in this damn weather? The bed boards are all hot."
"That's right, it's time to install air conditioning in the room." Ayao took the opportunity to say.
"That's right, we don't have air conditioners in this age. The Kang family doesn't have air conditioners, and dogs will bark if people don't laugh." The second brother knew that Lao Dou had the best face, so he said excitedly: "The second son is doing business. , the third son is in the office, the fourth son is in a foreign company, and the fifth son is a university teacher. He speaks so nicely, but there is no air conditioner. How embarrassing is it to say it out? "
Unexpectedly, although Lao Dou is very conceited, in the end he The good thing is to take advantage. "It's not that I don't buy it, it will be much cheaper to buy it after joining the WTO."
"Isn't it? The WTO results will not be announced until November, and the weather will be cold by then." The second guy said angrily. Others also tried to persuade Lao Dou, but Lao Dou couldn't listen to a word.
At night, both Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling were too hot to sleep. Just like Yumi said, the bed boards were all too hot and they couldn't sleep at all. Kang Qirui pointed the fan at Zhu Wanling, then fanned her with a big sunflower fan, and said, "I'll buy an air conditioner and come back tomorrow. This won't work every day."
Zhu Wanling nodded. It's true that pregnant women don't get enough sleep. no. She saw Kang Qirui fanning her until she was sweating, and said distressedly: "Okay, stop fanning, the fan will blow out hot air. Go to sleep, it will cool down naturally if you have peace of mind." Kang Qirui knew that she said this on purpose He smiled, but did not stop his hands, saying: "You go to sleep first, I will sleep after you fall asleep."
I don’t know how long it took Zhu Wanling finally fell asleep, and Kang Qirui fanned her hands until Feeling numb and sweating profusely from the heat, I decided to take a cold shower to cool down. When he went to the bathroom, he saw the second brother and his family of three walking towards the living room with mats and quilts. He asked curiously: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
"The room is too hot. I can't sleep. We're going to sleep in the living room with the air conditioner on. Kang Qirui nodded and went to take a shower. After taking a cold shower, Kang Qirui fell asleep comfortably, but he was woken up by the heat not long after he slept. He looked at the alarm clock and saw it was seven o'clock, and got up directly.
After walking out of the dining room, Kang Qirui saw Sister Jiao already making breakfast. He suddenly wanted to eat steamed buns and wanted to buy them at the street corner. When I walked out of the living room, I saw Fu Erlao and his family of three sleeping on the floor, and Ayao, Azu, and Yumei were also asleep on the sofa. He murmured in a low voice: "This situation means that Sachiko is on a business trip, and this living room is not enough room to sleep."
He shook his head and continued to go out to buy buns. When he came back from buying buns, he heard his mother While eating breakfast, Zi scolded them, "If I had known about last night, I would definitely not have let you sleep on the floor. You guys are still young and don't know what rheumatic pain feels like. You will know when you get older." Wrong.”
“That’s right, our old big house is damp and wet. If you sleep on the floor too much, you will easily get rheumatism.” Old Dou was also admonishing everyone, and the second sister-in-law was a little worried after hearing this. He was scared and sighed: "Forget it, I won't sleep in the living room tonight. I almost couldn't get up this morning."
"Isn't it right? Can I sleep in that room? It's like a steamer." The second guy Disagree.
Kang Qirui took the opportunity and said to Lao Dou: "Old Dou, Wan Ling and I discussed it last night and we decided to buy an air conditioner and come back today." He saw Lao Dou frowning and preparing to object. , and quickly continued: "You know, pregnant women must sleep well and eat well. It's so hot now that you can't sleep at night, which affects the baby. For the sake of the baby, it's more expensive. What does it mean?" As soon as this reason came out, Lao Dou could not refute, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement. The second brother and the second sister-in-law looked at each other and thought of their words in an instant, "Old Dou, my son and your grandson are so hot that they have prickly heat all over their necks. When it gets hot, he doesn't even want to go to the cram school. Don't go to the cram school." If you can't keep up with the progress when school starts next month, if you can't keep up with the progress, your grades will fall to the limit, so how can you fail to get into college?"
"Okay, okay, isn't it just to buy an air conditioner? Then you can also buy it, right?" Lao Dou directly interrupted the second brother and said angrily, "But let me state in advance that if you buy an air conditioner, you Pay for it yourself, don’t come to me.”
Kang Qirui and the second brother don’t care, they have money anyway. As for Ayao and Azuyumi, they originally wanted to buy an air conditioner, but now they all pretended not to care. Azu Yumi couldn't afford the high price of air conditioning. Originally, they paid half of the price, but now that the Kang family has so many rooms and she sleeps in her own room, there is no reason for Ayao to pay. Ayao, on the other hand, doesn’t know what his wife thinks, so he has to ask her first before deciding whether to buy it.
After breakfast, Kang Qirui and his second brother took advantage of the fact that it was still early and the weather was not so hot, so they went straight out to the Electrical Appliance City. If I had gone out any later, I would have been so hot that I would be soaked to the skin before I even reached the street. The two came to the Electrical Appliance City, and after much deliberation, they finally decided to buy a Gree air conditioner. The store offered a price of 4,200 for one unit. It’s so expensive, it’s more than two months’ salary for many people.
“If we buy five units, can it be cheaper?” Kang Qirui asked. Before the store owner could say anything, the second guy pulled Kang Qirui over and whispered: "Why is it Wutai? Who wants to buy it?"
"My room, your room, Tianxiu's room, Lao Dou's room, my mother-in-law's room, Wutai." Kang Qirui counted to the second brother. Both of them were dumbfounded and their voices trembled, "When did I say I bought two units?"
"Ah?" This time it was Kang Qirui's turn to be confused, and he said in shock: "Then you Buy one? What are you going to do? You two are already so big and it will be hot for at least a month. Isn’t it appropriate for you to sleep with three people in one room? br>
“What’s inappropriate?” The second guy didn’t understand. Kang Qirui looked at the second brother playfully, and said in his ear: "No way? You are only over thirty and you can't do it?"
The second brother then knew what Kang Qirui was talking about. What? He rolled his eyes angrily, but he also felt that Kang Qirui was right. Tianxiu was seven years old, and many things were indeed inconvenient. He thought for a while and said distressedly: "By the way, since I want to install air conditioning in Mrs. Dou's room, then you and I can share half of it." The second brother is very filial, and he is very generous to Mrs. Dou. But it does hurt, hahaha.
Seeing that Kang Qirui and the second guy had agreed, the store owner came over again and said: "If you are sure you want five units, I will give you two hundred yuan cheaper each, and then deliver them to your door for free and include installation. "Nowadays, there is basically no free door-to-door delivery. If you want door-to-door delivery and installation, you need to pay extra. The store owner's discount is pretty good.
Kang Qirui and the second brother looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Kang Qirui said to the store owner: "That's okay, no problem. Can we follow the car to deliver the goods to your door?"
"Of course, you wait a moment, I will load the car for you now." "The shop owner went to tell the workers to work, and came back to give the two brothers a cigarette. Kang Qirui took it politely, took a puff of the cigarette and said, "Boss, if we introduce you to a few customers, will there be any rebates? "
"No problem, how about I give you 200 yuan back if the customers you introduce to me buy one?" The store owner is naturally happy. When Kang Qirui saw that the car was loaded, he put out his cigarette, got into the car and said to the shop owner, "Okay, see you later."
The group of people came to Zhu's house first, and Kang Qirui took the lead. Entering the door, Master Zhu asked, "Arui, what are all these people doing?" The second brother helped to move things, and Kang Qirui pulled Master Zhu over and said, "Mom, it's hot out here, so I bought it for you." An air conditioner is installed in the room.”
Master Zhu was very happy when she heard it, and she was very happy. She personally directed the workers to work and led them to her room. The masters are all skilled workers and they installed it in less than half an hour. Kang Qirui took everyone to Kang's house. Before leaving, he said to Master Zhu, "Mom, I'll go back first. Don't be reluctant to drive. You don't have to worry about the electricity bill."
After arriving at Kang's house, after telling the master worker about the room for installation, they quickly started to work. The mother said in pain: "Oh, you can just install it in your own room. Why are you buying it for us? What a waste." Money. "Lao Dou is cheerful, and he is naturally happy that his sons are filial to him
