Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1026 - 1027: The Country’s Lone Girl 71

"Wife," Li Cui felt quite good when she heard Xiao Qiao use this word.

This meant Xiao Qiao was serious, just waiting for Zhang Yu to come of age, and then they would be together.

"When you miss home in the future, just come over.." Li Cui thought for a moment and felt that this was not quite appropriate to say.

"Come over every day." Anyway, there were only two girls at home, and having one more person, Xiao Qiao, for dinner could totally suppress those who hadn’t completely given up yet.

What? Zhang Yu initially thought that Li Cui’s previous words were quite reserved and had the right attitude.

As a girl who was chasing him, she didn’t have to come over for dinner every day, right? If neighbors saw it, who knew how they would gossip.

"Okay." Xiao Qiao agreed in a deep voice.

Fine, with these two generations settled on the matter, anything she said would be futile.

"I’ll use my food coupons too."

"And my meat coupons, I’ll go buy the groceries." As a new member of the family, Xiao Qiao knew what he had to do.

"Good." Li Cui initially thought this might be a bit premature as they were not yet a family.

But then she thought, this was only a matter of time, so she felt it was good to start merging now.

"Grandma, leave the physical work at home to me in the future."

"And if any household appliances break, call me, I can fix them too." Xiao Qiao revealed his versatile nature.

He can fix appliances? When it comes to anything electrical, many people are wary and afraid of problems.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiao was capable of this; Zhang Yu was truly surprised, "You’re really like a treasure trove."

Thinking she already understood Xiao Qiao thoroughly, she didn’t expect to discover another of his skills over dinner.

Upon hearing Xiao Qiao say this, Li Cui couldn’t help but feel excited. From Zhang Yu’s expression, she could tell why the old lady was stirred.

In the past, Li Cui would listen to the radio at home to check for any news, but now that the radio was broken, there was no way to listen, which frustrated the old lady.

Zhang Yu was still contemplating whether to ask familiar people if they had any radio vouchers, and if not, what else could be done.

Before she could find a way, a talent fell from the sky, but she didn’t know if he could fix it, Zhang Yu was genuinely curious.

"I can give it a try." Xiao Qiao had helped repair radios before, but with different models and problems, he wasn’t sure.

"No worries, just give it a try."

"I asked several repair shop owners about this machine, and they all said there’s nothing they could do." After all, Liu Hong bought it as a gift for them with months’ worth of saved salary.

Back when there were four, five, and then three people in their family, everyone would sit together to listen to the radio.

"This radio was a gift from Little Yu’s dad before she was born."

"It’s old, but we were careful when using it."

"Even if it can’t be fixed, maybe it feels that since Liu Hong is gone, it can leave too." Before Liu Hong’s accident, the radio was still working.

After the funeral, Li Cui tried to listen to broadcast occasionally to improve the atmosphere at home.

That’s when she discovered the radio that was functioning well suddenly wasn’t working, and it made the old lady sigh endlessly.

Xiao Qiao did not expect this radio to be older than Zhang Yu, which made him worried.

However, after listening to its story, Xiao Qiao promised to handle it carefully.

After having a good meal, Xiao Qiao directly set to work on the clean dining table, disassembling the silent radio.

With all the dense parts, Zhang Yu felt overwhelmed; in her eyes, these things all looked the same.

Watching Xiao Qiao disassemble and then marking parts and drawing things out on paper, neither Li Cui nor Zhang Yu dared to speak, scared of disturbing Xiao Qiao.

Having finished washing the dishes, Zhang Yu took out her high school textbooks to continue studying, though she felt uncertain.

She originally thought marriage was not something for now; she planned to take the college entrance examination to improve herself.

Yet plans can’t keep up with changes, what with being faced with such an excellent boyfriend falling from heaven.

She couldn’t very well say, darling, once the entrance exams resume, I want to take the college exam, graduate, and then we get married?

Zhang Yu didn’t know how Xiao Qiao would react, whether he would agree, but she knew Li Cui wouldn’t let her off and would surely educate her well.

In her situation, thinking of further study was daunting; she couldn’t imagine the chaos at home if she pursued it.

Relying on Xiao Qiao, Zhang Yu didn’t dare. This man was clearly a career-driven guy.

Since that approach wasn’t feasible, Zhang Yu thought she could try something different and remembered Dian University.

It was a nationally recognized diploma; for someone working at the police station, having this could sustain her till retirement.

Alright, Dian University it is, Zhang Yu decided.

After inspecting it thoroughly, Xiao Qiao quickly found the problem, "The interface on the circuit board here is loose."

Xiao Qiao pointed out the problem areas for Li Cui.

Although Li Cui didn’t understand much about these things, she could see with her eyes, "It’s loose."

"Exactly, this issue, how did none of the repairmen see it?" Li Cui was quite curious.

Xiao Qiao smiled, "Maybe they just took a quick look and then told you it couldn’t be fixed, suggesting you sell it to them for cheap."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately understood that the repairmen actually wanted to take the machine at a low price and then fix it to sell again.

Profiting like this, you could really earn a decent amount, but such an operation wouldn’t succeed with someone knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many such people. To Li Cui, this machine holds great sentimental value. Otherwise, she might have readily agreed to sell.

Thinking about it, Li Cui became angry, "It was the son-in-law of Old Hao in front who told me it couldn’t be fixed and offered a high price to buy it."

"I used to think Old Hao’s son-in-law was quite good, but in the end.." Li Cui got angrier thinking about it.

Watching the furious Li Cui, Zhang Yule chuckled, "Aren’t you considering that Old Hao kept claiming how poorly off his son-in-law’s family was before?"

"Now when he speaks of this son-in-law, it’s all praises. He’s a worker at the radio factory with a fixed income."

"For Old Hao to praise him so, it must be because his earnings increased." Zhang Yu thought of the son-in-law’s job and immediately understood the story behind it.
