443: Washing machines and refrigerators with all Chinese characters.

Every time they returned, they never came back empty-handed.

Grandma Gu would give Gu Ying more than she brought, and Gu Ying had a very good reputation in the Compound.

This method was taught by Zhang Fu.

So Gu Ying was also very close to Zhang Fu.

Unfortunately, Big Brother was very cold to Zhang Fu now. Otherwise, if Zhang Fu became her sister-in-law, she would have more say in the Gu Family.

Thinking of this, Gu Ying's gaze turned to Xiao Niannian. Even now, she still believed Xiao Niannian was a liar.

“Aunt Xiao, I also bought you an outfit and gloves…”

Hearing this, Grandma Xiao was a little surprised.

“Thank you.”

“You’re too kind.”

Grandma Xiao understood perfectly. Gu Ying had disliked her before, and now her attitude towards her was because of Old Brother Gu and the others.

Grandma Xiao said nothing more.

Seeing Grandma Xiao’s indifferent attitude towards her, Gu Ying was very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy, she didn’t show it on her face.

Gu Ying’s gaze shifted to Gu An.

If she had to name the person she disliked the most in the Gu Family, it would be Gu An, besides her former sister-in-law.

Gu An was the Adoptive Father’s Niece and had been raised in the Gu Family all these years. Her adoptive parents treated Gu An much better than they treated her, their adopted daughter.

After Gu An grew up, she even married the second son of the Yang Family, which made Gu Ying even more jealous. She wanted to marry someone of higher status, but some families looked down on her as an adopted daughter, and she didn't want to be a stepmother.

Later, she married the Ma Family son, but she was still jealous of Gu An.

Then, a few years ago, Gu An’s husband actually sacrificed himself.

Upon hearing the news, she was overjoyed at home. Gu An had suppressed her for so many years, and finally lost to her. In this life, Gu An had lost.

Unexpectedly, to curry favor with her adoptive parents, Gu An actually went to the countryside of the City Name to take care of the Xiao Family Old Woman. A dignified Gu Family Niece, Second Young Madam of the Yang Family, actually went to take care of a country Old Woman.

Gu An was truly a disgrace.

“Sister An, it’s good that you’re back. We should get together more often…”

Xiao Niannian looked at Gu Ying. Although Gu Ying’s face was full of smiles, there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

How could Xiao Niannian not know that Gu Ying now felt that since her Aunt Gu’s husband had passed away and Gu Ying’s husband was still alive, she had won against Aunt Gu… But Gu Ying was going to be disappointed.

Aunt Gu’s husband hadn’t died; he had contributed to the country and lived anonymously.

It was just what was being spread outside.

“Okay.”

Aunt Gu smiled and nodded.

“Auntie, is Cousin Yang on vacation?”

Ma Xue asked deliberately.

“He’ll be back in a few days.”

“That’s great.”

Just as they were talking, the phone rang.

Ma Xue hurried forward, wanting to answer the phone.

Xiao Niannian noticed Gu Ying and Ma Xue looking at her. It was just answering a phone call; did they need to be so wary?

“This is the Gu Family, hello.”

Ma Xue said sweetly.

“Military Department?”

Ma Xue was extremely surprised to hear that.

“Grandpa, it’s for you.”

Grandpa Gu walked over and picked up the phone.

Ma Xue wanted to lean in and listen, but Gu Ying pulled her back.

She could let her daughter listen to other things, but the Military Department was confidential. If they angered her adoptive parents, they might never have a chance to return to the Gu Family again.

A moment later, Grandpa Gu finished his call, looked at his Granddaughter with a smile, and then turned to Grandma Gu, saying,

“They will deliver those products later.”

Grandma Gu nodded.

Father Gu also understood what was going on and smiled at his beloved daughter.

Gu Ying and Ma Xue were puzzled, not knowing what products they were.

Gu Ying and Ma Xue looked at Grandpa Gu, extremely confused.

Xiao Niannian watched them exchange glances, understanding that they wanted to see what products they were.

Before, Gu Ying and Ma Xue would occasionally take things from the Gu Family, letting others in the Compound know how good Grandpa and Grandma were to Gu Ying and Ma Xue.

After a while, they heard a knock on the door.

Aunt Chen went to open the door and saw several Soldiers carrying huge boxes into the courtyard.

“What is this? Such big boxes!” Ma Xue exclaimed.

Gu Ying also looked on with a puzzled expression.

These large boxes, how did they look like appliance boxes?

Although nothing was written on the cardboard boxes.

“Old Chief, these three products have arrived. We’ll install them right away…”

“You’ve worked hard.”

Grandpa Gu smiled at these young Soldiers.

Soon, these Soldiers opened the boxes.

“Is this a refrigerator? Such a big refrigerator?”

“Is this an air conditioner?”

Gu Ying hadn't expected that the items delivered were actually a refrigerator, an air conditioner, and one that said 'washing machine'. And they looked very good, quite different from what they bought at the department store. These looked much more high-end.

Could these be the latest foreign products?

Who sent these to her adoptive parents?

“This refrigerator and washing machine need to sit for three hours before being plugged in… We’ll install the outdoor unit for the air conditioner first… Which room should it be installed in?”

Hearing this, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu both spoke up.

“Install it in Niannian’s room.”

“Grandpa, Grandma, install it in your room. I’m rarely home, so I don’t need it. You use it first, and then install it in my room later…”

Father Gu also said with a smile.

“Niannian is right, Mom and Dad, install it in your room.”

Gu Ying and Ma Xue hadn't expected Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu to unhesitatingly install the air conditioner in Xiao Niannian's room. This air conditioner looked much better than the one in their own home.

Soon, the air conditioner was installed, and the Soldiers also left.

Grandma Gu gave them many candies. The Soldiers politely declined, but couldn't refuse.

“Mom and Dad, are these new imported products from abroad? They look very good.”

Gu Ying asked impatiently.

“No, they are produced in our country.”

“Ah? Where are these produced, and how much do they cost per unit?” Gu Ying was somewhat disbelieving when she heard they were domestically produced. How could such good things be domestically produced?

“Don’t ask so many questions.”

Grandpa Gu did not explain further.

Gu Ying didn’t dare to ask anymore, but she still leaned in closely, wanting to see clearly where it was produced.

The characters on it were not English; they were all Chinese.

Ma Xue was also astonished.

“Grandpa, these are all in Chinese?”

“Are they really domestically produced?”

Xiao Niannian looked at the refrigerator and washing machine, nodding with satisfaction.

Now, she wondered how well they would work. If they could meet her expectations, that would be even better.

Xiao Niannian knew that these items were not only sent to the Gu Family but also to some other Old Comrade families. Otherwise, the Gu Family would be targeted.

Three hours later, the refrigerator was plugged in, and the washing machine started working.

“This washing machine, it only has one tub?”
