Chapter 285: All the stars are surrounding the moon!
The family bought a TV. If you ask all the members of the Jia family who is the happiest, that person will definitely be Bang Geng, because this TV made Bang Geng feel the situation firsthand, the feeling of being the center of attention.
At about 1:00 p.m., Bang Geng rode Qin Huairu's bicycle to school. As soon as he entered the office, a classmate ran up to him and asked him with a half-believing, half-doubting look on his face: "Jia Geng! I heard from Xiao Hua, who lives in the same courtyard with you, that your family bought a TV. Is that true?"
Bang Geng heard his classmate's question and saw the other party's half-believing and half-doubting expression, which greatly satisfied his vanity. He answered: "Xiaojun! Xiaohua is right. Our family just bought a TV today. I can watch TV while doing my homework in the evening."
Banggeng's idea was good, but he didn't know that with Jia Dongming around, his dream of doing homework and watching TV at the same time would never come true unless he finished his homework in advance.
Xiaojun had never seen what shape a TV looked like, but he had heard from a classmate more than once that TVs could play movies.
Thinking that Banggeng will be able to watch movies at home every day in the future, Xiaojun's originally half-believing and half-doubting face turned into an expression of envy, and he quickly asked Banggeng: "Jia Geng! Can I also come to your house to watch TV in the evening?"
When Bang Geng heard Xiao Jun's request and saw Xiao Jun's eager expression, he nodded smugly and replied, "Xiao Jun! As long as your parents agree, you can come to my house to watch TV."
"Banggeng! I also want to go to your house to watch TV in the evening. Is that okay with you?" Another classmate who was eavesdropping saw that Banggeng agreed to Xiaojun's request and immediately asked Banggeng impatiently.
Bang Geng heard another classmate's request and thought of what Jia Dongming had said, so he answered, "Xiao Ming! Although your home is very close to mine, my uncle said it's not safe outside at night. If you want to come to my house to watch TV, you have to tell your parents and ask them to send you over."
Seeing that Banggeng agreed, Xiaoming asked him to go to Banggeng's house to watch TV. He immediately said to Banggeng excitedly: "Banggeng! From now on, you will be my best, best friend."
Soon the news that Banggeng's family had a TV spread in the class. Because of the TV, Banggeng became the object of everyone's envy and fully felt the good of Jia Dongming's return.
In the evening, when school is over, Banggeng usually goes home with his friends in the same courtyard. But today, all his classmates who live in the same alley as him go home with him so that they can go to Banggeng's house and see what is on TV.
Just like that, a dozen children and Banggeng returned to the courtyard together. When everyone walked into the courtyard, the door god Yan Bugui saw Banggeng leading a group of children back and immediately asked Banggeng: "Banggeng! Why did you bring so many classmates back today?"
When Banggeng heard Yan Bugui's question and thought of what Yan Bugui had done to their family last time, he simply ignored Yan Bugui's existence and ran home with his classmates.
When Yan Bugui saw Banggeng ignoring him and leading a large group of children to run towards the middle courtyard, his face suddenly darkened and he criticized him unhappily, "Banggeng is becoming more and more rude."
Banggeng led a dozen classmates into the middle courtyard, and then walked towards the gate of the other courtyard.
Some of the students following Bang Geng had been to Bang Geng's house before. When they saw that Bang Geng did not lead them into Jia's house but walked towards the courtyard, one of them immediately asked Bang Geng curiously, "Jia Geng! Don't you live here? Whose house are you taking us to?"
When Banggeng heard the classmate's question, he immediately introduced proudly: "Ermao! This is indeed my home, and this side is also my home."
Bang Geng said this, and then he led a dozen classmates into the courtyard, and shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Grandma! Mom! I'm back."
Xiaodang, who was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion playing with building blocks, heard Banggeng's shout and immediately turned to look at the door. When she saw Banggeng leading a group of children into the yard, she asked him in a baby voice, "Brother! Why did you bring so many classmates to our house?" Jia Zhang heard Banggeng's shout and walked out of the house. When she saw Banggeng leading a group of children back, she asked him kindly, "Grandma's dear grandson! Why did you bring so many people to our house?"
When Bang Geng heard Jia Zhang's question, he immediately said to her, "Grandma! These are my classmates. Come to our house and watch TV."
When Jia Zhang heard what Bang Geng said, she smiled and said to him, "My dear grandson! Didn't the chef at the department store tell us at noon that we can only watch TV after 6pm? You can't watch TV if you bring a large group of classmates back so early!"
Qin Huairu, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise in the yard and came out of the kitchen. When she saw the classmates that Banggeng brought back, she reminded Banggeng, "Banggeng! What did your uncle tell you at noon? If you don't finish your homework, you are not allowed to watch TV. Have you forgotten it? Also, you brought so many classmates back with you. Do their parents know?"
The envy of his classmates made Banggeng feel extremely proud, but Qin Huairu's words were like a plate of cold water poured directly on Banggeng's head, chilling him to the bone.
Qin Huairu looked at the group of children following Bang Geng and found that they were all from nearby yards, so she said to the children present: "Children! If you want to watch TV, go home and do your homework first, and then you can come to our house to watch TV with your parents' permission."
Just now, when these children heard what Qin Huairu said to Banggeng, they thought they couldn't watch TV in the evening. Until they heard what Qin Huairu said, they all showed happy smiles on their faces. One of the children said to Banggeng first: "Jia Geng! Then I will go home and do my homework first, and then come to your house to watch TV in the evening."
When Qin Huairu heard what the child said, she immediately said to the children present: "You are just like our Bang Geng. If you want to come to our house to watch TV, you must first finish your homework. Then, you can come to our house to watch TV only if your parents agree."
"Auntie! We got it. I'll go home and do my homework now!" When Xiaojun heard Qin Huairu's words and thought about watching TV in the evening, he immediately made a promise to Qin Huairu.
Soon, the children who had come to the courtyard with Banggeng to watch the fun all left the courtyard with their schoolbags on their backs. Xiaohua's home was Courtyard No. 93. After he ran back home with his schoolbag on his back, he immediately ran to the dining table, took out a pen and homework from his schoolbag, and began to write the homework assigned by the teacher today.
Xiaohua's sister saw that her brother, who hated doing homework the most, took out his books and started doing homework as soon as he got home today. She showed an incredible expression on her face and asked Xiaohua with a smile: "Xiaohua! The sun rises from the west today? As soon as you get home, you actually do your homework on your own initiative. Tell me the truth, did you make a mistake at school?"
When Xiaohua heard his second sister's teasing, he answered while doing his homework with a pen in hand: "Second sister! My classmate, Banggeng from Compound 95, bought a TV today. Banggeng's mother agreed to let us go to his house to watch TV. The only requirement is that we must finish our homework before going."
Xiaohua's second sister heard what Xiaohua said and learned about the Jia family buying a TV. She asked Xiaohua with a puzzled look on her face: "Xiaohua! The Banggeng you are talking about, is it the Banggeng whose father passed away last year? Their family is so poor, how could they afford a TV? Were you fooled by Banggeng?"
When Xiaohua's elder brother heard the conversation between his younger sister and younger brother, he thought of the news he heard unexpectedly when he came home from work, and said to his sister, "Xiaoyin! That was so long ago. Although Banggeng's father is in the company, Banggeng's uncle has retired from the army and is a high-ranking official. The news that Banggeng's family bought a TV has spread throughout the alley."
After hearing what her elder brother said, Xiaoyin finally began to believe what Xiaohua said and immediately asked Xiaohua, "Xiaohua! How do you think I treat you on a daily basis?"
When Xiaohua heard Xiaoyin's question, he didn't even raise his head. He answered while doing his homework: "It's just so-so! No one is as good to me as my elder brother."
When Xiaoyin heard Xiaohua's answer, she was immediately furious. However, thinking that she still needed help, Xiaoyin said to Xiaohua with a fake smile: "Xiaohua! Can you bring me with you to Banggengji to watch TV tonight?"
