Chapter 351: Buying Furniture
As soon as Zhou Father heard Jiang Xia's suggestion, he thought it was a great idea.
"Come, come, let's quickly take a picture together, and then a family photo," Zhou Father said, beckoning his wife to join him.
Zhou Mother happily straightened her clothes, adjusted her hair bun at the back, and stood next to Zhou Father. "Is my hair okay?" she asked.
Zhou Father glanced at her and smiled, "No, it's very neat."
The two elders stood in place, smiling at the camera.
Jiang Xia took a photo of them, and then asked a staff member standing nearby to take a family photo.
The staff member also knew Jiang Xia and was more than happy to help.
As the photo was being taken, Li Xiuxian intentionally pulled her daughter to stand next to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia stood in front of Zhou Zhou, with Zhou Chenglei by her side.
Li Xiuxian gently pushed Zhou Ying next to Zhou Zhou, "Yingying, stand with Zhou Zhou."
The two sisters smiled and held hands.
Jiang Xia originally had both hands on Zhou Zhou's shoulders, but when Zhou Ying came over, she placed one hand on Zhou Zhou's shoulder and the other on Zhou Ying's shoulder.
The hand on Zhou Ying's shoulder was the same one wearing the bracelet.
Li Xiuxian couldn't help but glance at the bracelet on Jiang Xia's wrist.
She had always wanted to buy a bracelet, but every time she went to a jewelry store, the ones that caught her eye were over a hundred yuan, and the nicer ones were several hundred yuan, even going up to thousands! She didn't want to wear an ugly one, and couldn't bear to buy a pretty one, so she never purchased one.
In fact, she didn't understand jade, and in her previous life, she never had the opportunity to learn about it or see anyone wearing it.
But things had changed in the past two years.
One of her colleagues came from a very wealthy family, and she once wore a family heirloom jade bracelet to class.
She even claimed it was an emerald green, an imperial green, and that in ancient times, it would be worth a city! This sparked curiosity among her colleagues, who couldn't resist taking a look.
Li Xiuxian was no exception.
The bracelet on Jiang Xia's wrist looked very similar to her colleague's, and she thought Jiang Xia's was even prettier!
Li Xiuxian wanted to ask something, but the staff member smiled and said, "Look at the camera! One, two, three, smile!"
Li Xiuxian quickly focused on the camera.
After the photo was taken, Li Xiuxian wanted to ask something, but just then, Jiang Father walked over. Jiang Xia happily pulled him over and asked Zhou Chenglei to hold the television, and the three of them took another photo together.
Jiang Father simply greeted them and exchanged a few words, reminding Jiang Xia to be careful before leaving.
He was on duty and had many tasks to attend to today.
After Jiang Father left, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Father carefully placed the television in its box, with Zhou Father repeatedly reminding him to be careful.
Jiang Xia watched from the side.
Finally, Li Xiuxian found an opportunity to speak to Jiang Xia, "Xia, did you buy a bracelet?"
Tian Caihua, who had been listening, turned to look at Jiang Xia's wrist, "This bracelet is so green! It's glowing! How much did it cost?"
Tian Caihua didn't understand jade, but she had heard that the greener the jade, the better.
Li Xiuxian also wanted to know the price.
Both of them looked at Jiang Xia expectantly.
With so many people around, Jiang Xia didn't want to say too much and simply replied, "I didn't buy it."
Li Xiuxian was about to ask something else when Zhou Chenglei interrupted her, having finished setting up the television, "It's getting late, Elder Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, let's go look at the sofas! After that, we need to go to the shipyard."
"Elder Brother, Second Brother, are you taking a taxi or the bus?"
Zhou Chengxin replied, "Let's take the bus! There's a stop right at the entrance."
He had several sons, and even a taxi couldn't accommodate them all.
So, the group bid farewell to Zhou Father and Zhou Mother and left.
Zhou Father and Zhou Mother stayed behind, waiting for everyone to collect their prizes. There would be a meal later, but only one person per household could sit at the table.
However, Jiang Father had just asked if they were staying in the city for dinner and was planning to pay for two tables for them.
After learning that they were going to buy a sofa, only Zhou Father and Zhou Mother stayed behind for the meal, adding one more place setting for Zhou Mother, which was no problem at all.
Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia rode their motorcycles ahead.
They didn't go to the factory but instead headed to a furniture mall that sold furniture.
The furniture factory was in the neighboring city, so they could simply call the factory manager after deciding on a style at the mall.
This furniture store was also directly operated by the factory.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei arrived first with Zhou Zhou.
Jiang Xia pointed out the three sets of sofas she had seen at the Canton Fair and asked Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Zhou, "What do you think? Does Zhou Zhou like it?"
Zhou Zhou had never seen such beautiful sofas before. Sitting on them, she felt the softness and comfort, nodding her head slightly, "I like it!"
Zhou Chenglei only needed Jiang Xia's approval, "You decide, all your choices are good."
Jiang Xia asked again, "Which set does Zhou Zhou like the most?"
Zhou Zhou was sitting on a green leather sofa, her butt bouncing with excitement, "I like this one!"
Jiang Xia said, "Then let's put the dark brown set on the first floor, the green one on the second floor, and the reddish-brown set on the third floor."
The dark brown set was the largest, and the living room on the first floor was also the biggest.
"Okay," Zhou Chenglei agreed.
Jiang Xia had originally wanted to buy a black set for the first floor, but considering that the elderly might prefer a more festive color, she chose two reddish-brown sets.
After selecting the sofas, Jiang Xia said to Zhou Zhou, "Go and pick a bed that you like."
The salesperson enthusiastically said, "The children's beds are over here, please follow me."
How could they not be enthusiastic when they saw someone buying three sets of sofas at once?
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Chengxin and the others finally arrived, just as Jiang Xia was helping Zhou Zhou choose a bed.
Most of the beds were solid wood or metal frame beds.
There were more styles of solid wood beds.
There were also metal frame beds with leather-backed headboards, as well as imported European classical ornate beds.
Zhou Chenglei took a liking to a European classical ornate bed, which looked grand and sturdy.
"We'll take this one for our room," he said.
Jiang Xia reminded him, "Our bed is still new."
That ornate solid wood bed was indeed quite beautiful.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia, "No need to move it, it's too troublesome to disassemble."
Jiang Xia met his gaze, remembering how he had hammered in so many nails. If they wanted to move it, they would have to pry out each nail before disassembling the bed, and then hammer them back in afterward, otherwise, the bed would make noise.
The most crucial part was prying out the nails; she estimated that the bed would be ruined!
She immediately said, "Then let's take this one!"
She didn't dare to buy a fully solid wood bed either.
She was afraid of Zhou Chenglei!
Zhou Chenglei told the salesperson, "We'll take this bed, the whole set."
He pointed to the matching wardrobe, vanity, and other items.
"Okay!" The salesperson was thrilled.
The whole set included two nightstands, an empress chair, a matching wardrobe, dresser, and vanity.
The set was incredibly expensive! Zhou Zhou liked many of the beds.
The bed she slept in now was made by joining two bed frames, and it didn't even have a headboard.
She was momentarily unsure which bed to choose.
Just then, the people from the first and second rooms arrived, and Zhou Ying ran over to Zhou Zhou's side. Zhou Zhou immediately asked, "Sister, which bed do you think is the nicest?"
Zhou Ying had also never seen such beautiful beds. She quickly and carefully examined them with Zhou Zhou and chose a white solid wood princess bed.
Zhou Zhou also liked the white bed, "Auntie, I like this one."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll buy this one."
She asked the salesperson, "This bed also comes with a matching wardrobe, nightstand, and desk. Do you have any good Simmons mattresses suitable for children?"
Li Xiuxian glanced at Jiang Xia.
Yingying's bed was also made by joining two bed frames, exactly like the one Zhou Zhou slept in at the old house!
