Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

After shopping for most of the day, Shen Xiaojun spent a total of more than 7000, and also went to the bank to withdraw money in the middle.

A semi-automatic washing machine costs RMB 2000, a double-door refrigerator costs RMB 66 and RMB 21, and a 3000-inch color TV costs RMB [-].

There was no sofa in the living room at home, only a dining table and chairs and a rocking chair moved from her hometown. She simply spent a thousand dollars to buy a leather sofa.

Shen Xiaohua said that she was just doing it without spending money, but once she spent money, it was amazing!

Shen Xiaojun smiled, there was nothing we could do about it. Who said home appliances are so expensive nowadays?

Since then, prices have risen, and house prices have risen to an incredible level, but these home appliances, which are more affordable, are still at about the same price now.

After returning home, Xiaowei Xiaoyue couldn't put it down her clothes and shoes, and soon she wanted to touch them and have a look.

Shen Xiaojun told them to do their homework quickly, while he pushed his son to the kitchen to prepare today's dinner.

Having this stroller really saves her a lot of trouble. She can push it around whenever she wants, and she doesn't have to put Yaoyao in the room to disturb Xiaowei and the others' studies.

The most important thing is that Yaoyao also likes it. Look, he plays so hard.

the next morning.

Shen Xiaohua arrived earlier than the delivery workers. When the delivery workers arrived, Shen Xiaojun didn't need to greet them. She went up to negotiate with them by herself.

Check whether the product is new and whether it has been bumped somewhere. Let others handle it with care and direct where to move it.

Shen Xiaojun could just talk and become a hands-off shopkeeper.

Shen Xiaojun bought products from a different company, and several delivery people came in and out. After delivering home appliances, they came to the sofa again, causing many neighbors to look into the yard.

Some people wonder if Shen Xiaojun has also made money by trading stocks, otherwise why would he buy such things at this time if he didn't buy them sooner or later?

How can Shen Xiaojun think so much? No matter what they think, if she is asked, just say that she made a little money like everyone else.

It took me a whole morning of busy work to put these things into their proper places.

There are no sockets in the kitchen, only a cord for lighting, and the refrigerator can only be placed in the living room.

It would be suitable to put it in the living room, which is big anyway.

Needless to say, the color TV should be placed on the cabinet in the living room.

Once the sofa is placed, the whole space feels different and harmonious. It doesn't feel too spacey like before. People don't like to sit in the living room and like to move the chairs out to sit in the yard.

The only thing that is difficult to place is the washing machine. It feels inappropriate to put it anywhere. I put it under the laundry table. It will be exposed to wind and sun and it will probably break down in a short time. There is no socket on the laundry table!

Finally, I found a suitable location in the kitchen, but when I was doing laundry, I had to pull out the socket and connect the water pipe, otherwise it wouldn't work at all.

Shen Xiaojun planned to wait two days before finding someone to properly pull the wires and install a faucet connected to the washing machine.

In the afternoon, Shen Xiaojun took the children to the Children's Palace.

"We have handicraft classes, dance classes, music classes, painting classes, etc., as well as calligraphy and recitation, as well as sports activities, such as table tennis, gymnastics, martial arts..."

Shen Xiaohua is an old acquaintance of the Children's Palace. As soon as he arrived at the Children's Palace, he went to find a familiar teacher and told the two children that they wanted to come to the Children's Palace to study.

The teacher introduced it to Shen Xiaojun, then knelt down and asked Xiaowei what Xiaoyue liked?

"I like painting!" This is Xiaowei.

"...Singing." Xiao Yue said.

Xiaowei turned to look at her mother again: "There is also dancing. I also want to learn to dance, like sister Xiaoru."

Xiao Yue took her sister's hand and echoed: "Xiao Yue wants it too."

The two sisters agreed in bed last night!They want to be together!

The teacher laughed and said, "Just learn if you want. Hobby is more important than anything else. But the teacher wants to tell you first that learning dance is very hard. Can you persist?"

Xiaowei nodded: "Yes!"

"I can too."

"That's good. The teacher will take you to the classroom first to see how other students are doing class, okay?"

Shen Xiaojun took the children to the classroom with the teacher again. Shen Xiaohua took Yaoyao and waited in the office, fearing that he would cry in the teaching area and disturb others.

As the teacher walked, he said to Shen Xiaojun: "If my sister wants to learn to sing, she can only take children's vocal music lessons at present. When she is 14 years old, it is the time to really start to learn vocal music systematically. At this time, the children's vocal cords have matured and their voices have changed. It won’t hurt your throat.”

Shen Xiaojun really didn't know this, "Then let's learn children's vocal music first. The child loves to sing and sings beautifully. I plan to let her continue learning."

The teacher smiled and then said: "When learning vocal music, it is best to add another musical instrument. This can improve the child's sense of music. We teach both Western music and folk music here. If the family conditions are good, I suggest learning piano. Buy a piano and both sisters can learn it. The piano is the king of musical instruments, and it’s good for girls to learn it... Of course, the violin is also very good.”

Shen Xiaojun smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the suggestion, teacher. I think it's fine, as long as you have many skills. But the main thing is to look at the children's hobbies. As you said, hobbies are more important than anything else."

"That's right." The teacher smiled and pointed to the glass window for Shen Xiaojun to see: "This is a children's vocal music class. There are children between five and ten years old inside."

In the classroom, a dozen children are practicing their voices with the teacher.

Xiaoyue lay on her tiptoes on the window sill and looked in, extremely curious.

The teacher asked: "What do you think, Xiaoyue? Do you want to be with your classmates?"

Xiaoyue nodded, she wanted to learn!

He also pointed to a boy inside to show his mother and teacher, "He is from our kindergarten!"

"Really? That's great. Xiaoyue can study with my little brother."

"Uh-huh!"

When they arrived at the dance studio, Xiaowei pulled Xiaoyue and jumped up and down!

"Mom, sister Xiaoru!"

In the classroom, Xiaoru was practicing the one-word horse, and her slender legs were stretched straight!

Xiaoru also saw them and waved to them when the teacher wasn't paying attention.

Shen Xiaojun said to his two daughters: "You see, learning to dance is very hard. Do you really want to learn it?"

"Yes, yes! I want to be as beautiful as sister Xiaoru!" The pretty Xiaowei responded quickly, what's the point of hard work?You need to be pretty!

Xiao Yue hesitated, looked at her sister, and then at Xiao Ru in the classroom, "Xiao Yue wants it too."

"Okay, then mom, let me tell you first that you are not allowed to stop studying if it is too hard for you after studying for a few days."

"No way, no way!"

In the end, Shen Xiaojun signed up two courses for each of them, Xiaowei's painting, children's dance, Xiaoyue's children's vocal music, and children's dance.

Classes are usually held on Saturdays and Sundays or during winter and summer vacations, depending on the course schedule of the month.

The monthly tuition for one course is [-], and two is [-], which is [-] a year, and the total for two children is [-]. The average family is really not willing to spend this money just to let their children learn more things.

"The Children's Palace is not close to your home. From now on, you have to pick them up and drop them off from class." Shen Xiaohua said after registering and paying tuition.

Shen Xiaojun nodded while pushing the stroller, "When they are as old as Xiaoru, I will feel more relaxed."

Xiaoru is 11 years old and can already take the bus alone to study at the Children's Palace.

Shen Xiaohua laughed at her and pointed at Yaoyao in the stroller, "Are you sure?"

Shen Xiaojun: "...Okay, I'm not sure."

When they are older, she may not be qualified to say the word "easy". Three children are her blessing, and she will have to worry about them all her life.

A few days later, when Shen Xiaojun went out to buy groceries, he could still hear everyone talking about stock trading, but the conversation was not about whether to follow, but whether to throw it away.

It seems that the stock market has passed the stage of crazy rise some time ago.

On this day, as soon as Shen Xiaojun sent away the workers who came to pull the wires and water pipes, Li Shufen came to the door with a bag of walnuts in her hand.

"Come here when you come. Why are you bringing things here?"

Li Shufen smiled and said, "My folks brought it. It's a big basket. I don't know when I'm going to eat it, so I thought I'd give you some to try."

After saying that, he squatted down to tease Yaoyao in the stroller, and praised the car Shen Xiaojun bought. It looked high-end at first glance.

Shen Xiaojun invited her to sit in the room.

"Oh! I bought a sofa! It's so beautiful. Let me tell you, this living room still needs a sofa to look good. The sofa in our house was bought when Lao Wang and I got married and has been used for seven or eight years. The springs inside have collapsed, so I’m thinking about buying another set sometime. I want to buy a real leather set, but the genuine leather one should be of a higher quality!”

"I bought it a few days ago. The house was too empty before, and there was no place to sit when guests came over. We have not moved in for a long time, so we have to slowly add things to the house." Shen Xiaojun poured her a glass of water.

Li Shufen looked at the refrigerator and color TV in the living room again, "You have made a fortune! I bought so many things at once, I'm afraid it cost ten thousand less."

Then he leaned closer and asked softly: "Have you also bought stocks?"

Shen Xiaojun picked up Yaoyao in the stroller and sat down opposite her. "Seeing that everyone was buying it, I felt excited in my heart and in my heart. It happened that the person at home sent some money back, so I asked my sister to buy it for me. A few days ago, The sky is gone, I made a small profit, no, I bought all these things."

"Let me tell you, I kept seeing your sister come over some time ago. Buy well, buy well, you are a bastard who doesn't make money if you have money. My old Wang also sold some stocks in his hands the day before yesterday and made a little money. "

Li Shufen raised her hand and rubbed the pads of her thumb and index finger. She looked proud and satisfied on her face. It seemed that she had really made a lot of money, and it was not the small amount of money she said.

"My Lao Wang is still quite discerning. Of the ten stocks he has spotted, eight of them are going up. Many stocks have fallen in the past few days. When our Lao Wang saw them, he immediately dismissed all the bad ones. I threw it out, my brain is very flexible, some people still don’t believe it, you have to wait, wait, wait, wait, it has dropped by more than ten yuan, do you think it is a loss?”

Shen Xiaojun nodded, "I don't understand this either. I just know that when the price rises, I will throw it away as soon as possible. I will be satisfied with a small profit and I don't dare to take too big risks."

"Yes! That's what I told our old Wang..."

The two talked about stocks for a few more times, and then the conversation changed. Li Shufen asked about Xiaowei and Xiaoyue's visit to the Children's Palace.

"I heard from our Mengmeng that both Xiaowei and Xiaoyue went to the Children's Palace to study, right?"

"Yes, mainly because they like it and want to cultivate other hobbies for their children outside of cultural classes."

"Do you plan to let your children take the art path in the future?"

Shen Xiaojun waved his hand: "That's not true. I don't have to arrange which path they must take. There are still many days to come. No one knows what will happen next, but it is better for children to learn one more thing than just knowing what is in the books. They need to have good knowledge. If they are not good at studying in the future, they can choose from many options. If they are not good at cultural courses, they can also take the exam as art students. They must be admitted to university. If they are capable, it will be easier for them to work in society in the future."

After listening, Li Shufen nodded: "You are right. It seems that I have to let our Mengmeng learn something."

He also praised Shen Xiaojun: "You are still thinking long-term. I have never thought about this before. I just wanted to let Mengmeng study hard and go to college. As the saying goes, having more skills is not a burden. You still have to listen to the words of our ancestors!"

Li Shufen also changed her view of Shen Xiaojun in her heart. She used to think that Shen Xiaojun was just a rural woman whose man made some money outside and bought a house in the city to take care of her children at home. She had little knowledge or education.

Unexpectedly, people think more long-term about their children's future than she, a city dweller, does.

I have to learn from others.

"After I register Mengmeng, we will send the child to the Children's Palace together. If you have any inconvenience, I will help you pick him up."

Shen Xiaojun smiled and thanked him first: "Okay, let's make an agreement. I'll have to trouble you in the future."

On this day, Xiaowei came back from school and told her: "Mom, the teacher asked us today if we want to participate in the New Year's Day party. If we want to buy costumes for the show, we have to pay for it ourselves. If we want to, just sign up with the teacher, and the teacher has to choose the people." !”

"You may not be able to participate even if you sign up?"

"Yeah! But the teacher told me that she knew I was learning dance and she wanted me to participate." Xiaowei took out her textbook to do her homework, and she didn't forget to help her sister put the chair.

Shen Xiaojun asked: "Then do you want to participate?"

"Yes!" Xiaowei responded quickly. She loved performing on stage the most. "I participated in the Children's Day when I was in kindergarten, and I even danced on stage!"

"Then let's participate, and you can tell the teacher tomorrow."

She really couldn't remember whether Xiaowei participated in the Children's Day program when she was in kindergarten. She had just given birth to Yaoyao at that time and was in confinement. She probably didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't remember it deeply.

She missed many things in her previous life, but she doesn't plan to miss her children's growth in this life.

Shen Xiaojun suddenly wanted to buy a camera and take pictures of every moment of the children's growth!

"Mom will go and watch you when you perform. In a few days, mom will go buy a camera and take pictures of you. When it's your birthday in a few days, we'll take pictures too!"

Xiaowei jumped off the stool and hugged her mother, "Mom, you are so kind!"

Xiaoyue followed suit and hugged her mother's legs!

"By the way, do we, Xiaoyue, have any programs on New Year's Day?"

Xiaoyue raised her head: "No, the teacher didn't say that!"

Shen Xiaojun stroked her furry head and said, "Then let's watch my sister perform together."

"Uh-huh!"
