Chapter 7: Should I Wipe It Off?
Zhang Yue couldn't help but run a few steps quickly and went home to investigate. As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Yue was delighted.
It turned out that Grandpa went to the unit to collect his pension in the afternoon, and Grandma waited for Zhang Qing to finish school and hurried downstairs to buy vegetables. At home, only Xiaoyu was left alone, she had nothing to do, so she took a crayon and drew at home.
Drawing is not a big deal, the problem is that she chose the wrong place, she used crayons to draw on the wall, on the floor, on the cabinet, and even drew on the newly bought refrigerator at home. This has made Grandma very angry.
In those years, refrigerators were scarce commodities, and many families did not have one. Even if they did, most of them were single-door ones. Zhang Yue's family was relatively well-off. His father was an only child, his mother had only one younger brother, and both sets of grandparents were retired workers who received a pension and didn't need their children to support them. Therefore, in terms of economics, the family was much more affluent than their neighbors who had many children and heavy burdens.
Mom's job has changed, now she's gone to the new large shopping mall in the business district to work as a home appliance department manager. Although she went from an office job to a grassroots position, ending her leisurely desk job and starting to travel around for business, but for our family, the benefits are actually greater. In the early 1990s, it was a seller's market, people who came from that era know that at that time, everyone had some extra money in their hands, hoping to improve their quality of life. But China's industry was not developed, and foreign capital could not enter. So TV factories, refrigerator factories, washing machine factories were all very powerful.
Every city began to set up large commercial buildings, organizing a large number of business backbones to find goods in these factories. At that time, whoever could find the source of goods would be treated as a god by the leaders. And it was because of my mother's convenient conditions that Zhang Yue's family was the first in the entire residential area to have a double-door refrigerator, and this creamy white Upward brand refrigerator was Grandma and Grandpa's treasure, something they were most proud of.
Zhang Yue walked into the room and saw her sister huddled in the corner, sobbing. Her grandmother was still scolding her. Her grandfather was sympathizing with the refrigerator on one hand, and also sympathizing with his little granddaughter, arguing with her grandmother.
Zhang Yue let out a quiet sigh and quickly walked forward to grab her grandmother: "What are you doing, it's already this late, Grandma, aren't you going to cook? I'm starving!" Thanks to Zhang Yue's interruption, her grandmother suddenly came back to reality, realizing that it was already time for dinner.
And her eldest granddaughter, who is about to take the exam, is the focus of protection for the whole family. Before leaving on a business trip, her daughter repeatedly instructed that Zhang Yue and her sister must eat on time and guarantee nutrition... So she muttered to herself while pulling Grandpa quickly into the kitchen.
Grandma is not around, Zhang Yue's younger sister blinked and smiled. Seeing that her older sister was not angry, Zhang Qing seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, but then looked wronged again and was about to cry.
Zhang Yue quickly walked over and pulled up her little sister: "Little ancestor, don't cry anymore. Do you want to invite grandma over again?"
Zhang Qing's small mouth pouted, and she almost cried out again. "Sister, I just want to paint at home, I want our home to look better."
Zhang Yue took another close look at the paintings his sister had done, and suddenly understood that Zhang Qing was not being naughty. Actually, he had been wondering earlier, according to her personality, it shouldn't be like this?! Now looking at them again, those simple ducks, lovely butterflies, and the silly frogs and ladybugs. His sister was expressing her love for home in her own way. Although this way of expression wasn't easy to accept.
Before entering the house, Zhang Yue was actually very calm. In her previous life, she had a mischievous son, so Zhang Yue had a lot of experience in dealing with all kinds of stains. She knew that whether it was on the wall or the floor, even the crayon marks on the refrigerator could be removed by wrapping them with a wet towel and ironing them a few times with an electric iron. So she wasn't anxious.
After listening to her sister's words, Zhang Yue hesitated, wondering whether she should get rid of it or not.
