Chapter 48 Old Man Lou, whose cotton-padded jacket leaked and was a bit cold
Watching Gao Zhendong ride away, Lou Xiaoe turned around and opened the door to enter the house.
On the sofa, Lou's father was half lying down, his eyes slightly closed, and he was listening to a play on the gramophone.
Hearing the knock on the door and seeing his daughter coming in, Lou's father hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, he still didn't speak.
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and sat next to her father: "Dad, I remember we have a useless typewriter at home, right?"
Father Lou opened his eyes: "Yes, it's in the warehouse. Do you want it? You take it."
Although he didn't know what his daughter was doing with this thing, it wasn't a big deal anyway, so Father Lou didn't care. .
Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, then plucked up the courage and spoke again: "Then I want to give away the TV set in my room, okay?"
Now Lou's father really couldn't hug him. Come on, this girl loses her fortune pretty quickly.
Sitting up straight, Father Lou finally asked what he had been wanting to ask for a while: "Let's talk about who to give it to. I can't give away my things. I don't even know who this person is. Don’t you know? Besides, looking at it, I might want to give away more than just the TV.”
Lou Xiao'e was shy: "Dad, what did you say?"
Father Lou asked all the questions, so of course he couldn't ask in vain. If he didn't ask, there would be no answer. If he asked, he still wouldn't have the answer. Then wouldn't he ask in vain: "You think I'm blind? Tell me, what's going on?"
Lou Xiao'e learned cooking from the family's eldest cook. It's not like Lou's father didn't know, the eldest chef quietly told him the next day.
However, from the time Lou Xiaoe goes out, it can be estimated that the person she meets every week has a serious job and is not the kind of idler. Moreover, this person may be quite busy at work, so Lou Xiaoe does not have time to go out except on Sundays. , did not even go to see this person.
This inference made Lou's father slightly reassured, which is why he did not interfere too much.
Now that Lou Xiao'e has opened this topic herself, Lou's father still wants to know more about the situation.
Lou Xiao'e thought about it and realized that there was nothing hard to say, so she told Father Lou about Gao Zhendong's situation.
At first, Father Lou was very pleased. The newly assigned college student had a good appearance, a technician in a steel rolling mill, and a strong working ability.
But when he heard what was happening behind him, his face became more and more worried.
When Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Lou's father asked what he was most worried about: "With his conditions and the status of our family, has he not avoided you?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said firmly: "Dad, I know what you are thinking, but he knows about our family's situation, and he also said that he doesn't mind, and he has his own arrangements. Although I don't know his What’s the arrangement, but I don’t think he will lie?”
Father Lou thought for a while, but still wasn’t completely reassured: “Let’s do this, invite him to our house for a casual meal next week.”
Lou Xiao'e was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it a little too early?"
Father Lou nodded her head: "It's getting late, you see you have started sending out big items, I'd better be early It’s better to take a look. I won’t tell you what the consequences are, but it’s always better for your family to take a look first. As for the TV, you can decide for yourself. Anyway, it’s for your own room, not mine.”
Compared to Lou Xiao'e, Lou's father doesn't care much about TV.
Lou Xiao'e nodded happily: "Okay, I will tell him tomorrow when I give him something. He is very busy. Tell him early so that he can arrange his time."
Seeing Lou Xiao'e like this, Lou My father couldn't help but shake his head. The cotton-padded jacket was leaking, and it didn't look like it could be kept.
On Monday afternoon, when Gao Zhendong came home after a day's work, what he saw was Lou Xiao'e, who was tightly packed, and several porters, carrying two boxes, one large and one small. Waiting at his door. At first glance, I knew it was a typewriter. Although Gao Zhendong understood the reason, he didn't know why the typewriter was so big.
There was no place to talk outside the door, so Gao Zhendong quickly opened the door and asked Lou Xiao'e to come in.
Lou Xiao'e knew the functional layout of Gao Zhendong's room very clearly. She called on the porters to put things in the south room, which was usually tightly covered. Gao Zhendong paid the wages of several masters and sent them out.
Turning around and closing the door, Gao Zhendong hugged Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Why did you send the typewriter over in such a hurry? It's so cold, I can just wait until Sunday to pick it up."
Lou Xiao'e leaned against Gao Zhendong: "I thought if you get it earlier, you can start working earlier. Although I don't understand, but from what you said, your work is quite important. If you can start working earlier, Forget it."
After that, he brought another big one to Gao Zhendong: "I also sent a TV set."
Gao Zhendong understood both the truth and the truth this time. Why are typewriters so big?
Before Gao Zhendong could speak, Lou Xiao'e jumped up, tapped Gao Zhendong with her hand, and then made a "shush" gesture: "Don't talk, I've got everything."
Okay, come on. All are here.
Gao Zhendong knew that any refusal at this time would be too steely. Although his job is steel rolling, he is not a steel rolling person. Obviously, he will not be stubborn at this time, so he directly changed the question: "Then what do your family members see? This is so embarrassing."
Lou Xiao'e was a little strange and said matter-of-factly: "My dad sees theirs, this is my room, it doesn't matter."
Gao Zhendong suddenly had the feeling that "poverty has limited my imagination" that he often said in his previous life. He smiled: "Okay, pretend I didn't ask."
Lou Xiao'e was happy: "You go and see if it's suitable, I'll cook."
Looking at Lou Xiao'e walking back to the wind stove on a familiar road, Gao Zhendong smiled, not pretentious, just told Lou Xiao'e There were steamed buns in the cupboard, so there was no need to get the staple food. Lou Xiaoe responded crisply, and Gao Zhendong went to the south room.
Opened the box and checked it. The typewriter was in very good condition. Lou Xiaoe wiped off the floating dust very carefully. The whole machine was shiny and the keyboard part moved very smoothly. The click-click-click sound is pleasant to the ear when you tap it, a bit like the mechanical keyboard of the previous life.
Gao Zhendong didn't check the TV too much. Since it was the one Lou Xiao'e was using, there would be no problem. The only problem to be solved was the conversion of computer display signals to TV signals.
The two of them were playing the piano and the harp in harmony here, while the noble family in Yanbu across the door was muttering.
Just as Gao Zhendong was seeing off the porter master, Yan Bugui took his eyes away from the window and gossiped with the third aunt: "It seems that Gao Zhendong, the opposite door, is about to have something good happen. This girl comes here every two days, and now she doesn't even have to pay her dowry." "Everything has been delivered."
The third aunt said to him angrily: "What nonsense? Have you ever seen someone move the dowry to her husband's house first, then move it back before the wedding, and then move it back on the wedding day?" It's just a waste of time, isn't it?"
Yan Bugui thought about it, but he still let himself go: "What is such a big box?"
The third aunt put away the unfinished vegetables. Yan Bugui said in front of him: "If you have some free time, come and help me pick vegetables!!"
After dinner, after Gao Zhendong sent Lou Xiao'e home, he saw that it was not even eight o'clock, so he went home to get it. Putting on the typewriter, thinking about going to Lou Xiaoe's house on Sunday, he walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house in the Central Court.
