The Lucky Wife Reborn In the 90s Era Has A Spatial Ability - Chapter 200
200 Chapter 199, Money Is Earned
At nine o’clock, a family of five gathered at the entrance of the department store.
When they reached the floor that specialized in selling household appliances, the salesperson who had sold them washing machines before actually recognized them.
She personally brought them to a corner that sold television sets, he helped to introduce them, “Our goods here are very complete. We have 21-inch, 25-inch, 29-inch, black and white, and colors. What do you want to look like?”
Indeed, there were a lot of televisions in the container, some big and some small.
!!
“We want to buy a color one. What size are they available in? What are the prices?” Li Xu asked.
Hearing this, the salesperson in charge of selling the televisions was immediately energized.
She didn’t expect this family to be a big customer even though they looked ordinary.
They wanted to buy colorful ones right away.
“There are three sizes of the color TV. The 21-inch is the cheapest at 2,199, the 25-inch one is 2,599, and the 29-inch one is 3,099.” The salesgirl stood in front of a TV. “This one is the 29-inch one.”
She enthusiastically found a plug board and plugged it in. Soon, an image appeared on the TV.
“This model has a big screen so that the children don’t have to look from close. In my opinion, if you want to buy it, then buy a good one. The 21-inch one is cheap, but it’ll probably be out of date in two years.”
Ji Zi’ang held Zhang Kun’s hand and was a little speechless at the salesperson’s words. “It costs more than three thousand yuan? It’s so expensive!”
The salesperson quickly explained, “It’s not expensive. A television can last at least ten years. If you split it evenly, it’ll only cost less than three hundred Yuan a year. It’s less than one Yuan a day.”
Ji Zi’ang listened to the salesperson’s words and whispered beside her, “According to her, splitting it evenly would be cheaper in minutes.”
Zhang Kun pinched his hand, signaling him not to speak.
“Three thousand yuan is indeed a little expensive. It’s equivalent to a year’s salary. Can it be cheaper?” Li Xu reached out her hand and touched the TV screen.
Seeing that Li Xu seemed to really want to buy it, Ji Zi’ang quickly went forward to hold Li Xu’s hand. “Mom, why don’t we buy a black and white one? It was all used to be watched anyway, there’s no difference.”
Li Xu’s gaze shifted from the television to Ji Zi’ang. Seeing her son’s anxious expression, she reached out to pinch his face in amusement. “What’s wrong? Does your heart ache? I didn’t see your heart ache when we bought the washing machine!”
Although the washing machine was cheaper than the television, Ji Zi’ang remembered how happy he had been at that time.
Ji Zi’ang shook his head seriously. “That’s different!”
“How is it different?” Li Xu asked casually, already thinking about how to bargain.
To be honest, she really liked this television set.
The screen was quite big, and it looked good. With the television at home, the children would not be too bored and would be able to stay at home.
“The washing machine is a useful thing. If you buy a washing machine, you can wash your clothes without using your hands. The television set is useless, and it can’t work for you,” Ji Zi’ang explained very seriously.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment. Hearing her son’s explanation, her heart warmed.
“How can it be useless? We can watch the news and watch TV programs together. We can learn a lot!” Li Xu said without hesitation.
She pointed to the best TV and asked, “Give me a good price. If it’s suitable, I’ll take it. If it’s not, we will go somewhere else!”
Ji Zi’ang heard this and tugged Li Xu’s hand impatiently. “Forget it, forget it…”
He really did not expect a color television to be so expensive.
The money at home was earned from his mother’s hard work in selling vegetables. Spending three thousand yuan all at once was too much of a heartache.
Zhang Kun looked at Li Xu and was a little surprised.
3,000 Yuan was equivalent to his salary for half a year.
Li Xu actually bought it just like that!
Although the two of them had already received the marriage certificate, he really didn’t know much about Li Xu’s income.
Now it seemed that Li Xu earned much more than him.
Zhang Kun’s heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Outsiders looked at this marriage as if Li Xu had taken advantage of it. However, in reality, he was the one who had taken advantage of Li Xu.
When the saleswoman heard Li Xu’s words, she knew that she really wanted to buy it.
In the end, she offered a price of 2,800 Yuan and gave away several sets of plates as gifts.
Li Xu readily paid the price and moved the color TV set back home.
The entire process took less than half an hour. Zhang Kun, who still had plenty of time, also followed her home.
He moved the TV upstairs and installed it according to the instructions.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan sat on the sofa and waited quietly.
Ji Zi’ang squatted next to Zhang Kun and sighed, feeling sorry for the money he had to buy the TV.
“Second Brother, money is earned, not saved.” Ji Yuanyuan could not stand Ji Zi’ang’s sigh anymore. “Don’t stand in Uncle Zhang’s way.”
Ji Yuanyuan was now very familiar with the two terms ‘Dad’ and ‘Uncle Zhang’.
In places where Ji Zixuan could not hear, she called Zhang Kun ‘Dad’.
If Ji Zixuan was around, she would call Zhang Kun ‘Uncle Zhang’.
“Besides, aren’t we earning money to improve our living standards? What’s the point of putting it there if we don’t spend it?” Ji Yuanyuan patted the seat beside him. “Come here!”
Ji Zi’ang let out a long sigh and got up to sit beside Ji Yuanyuan. “But, it’s 3000 Yuan!”
3000 Yuan! How many candies can we buy?!
Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips in amusement.
Ji Zi’ang probably didn’t know that the daily flow of food in the shop was around 150 Yuan.
Some of the vegetables were produced in the space, so it was a no-cost business. The other part of the vegetables were from his grandparents’ greenhouse, so there was a cost, but this was only a small part.
There was also the cost of rent and utilities. After deducting this part of the cost, the net profit in the shop was about 100 Yuan a day!
3,000 Yuan was just a month’s worth of money!
This 3,000 Yuan was not as important to Li Xu as Ji Zi’ang thought.
As they were talking, Zhang Kun had finished insulating the TV.
An image appeared on the television. It was a variety show. A few hosts were singing and dancing on stage. Their young faces were very lively.
Ji Yuanyuan vaguely remembered that the hosts of this show would become the pillars of the other stations in the future.
Zhang Kun stood up and placed the remote control in Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. “This button is to change the channel. This button is to adjust the volume. Pressing this button is to turn off the television.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. Before she could move, the remote control was taken away by Ji Zi’ang. “Let me try it first, hehe…”
Zhang Kun looked up at the watch on the wall. It was almost ten o’clock.
He dusted off the dust on his hands and went to the kitchen. He asked Li Xu, “What time will Miaomiao be back tonight? Why don’t I try to come back earlier tonight? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you!”
