Chapter 697 Buying a TV

"Guess what our daughter said?" Qin Jingru continued.

"How to say?"

The family looked over again.

Qin Jingru said angrily: "This damn girl directly told you to find her a husband who is like her grandfather, so that she can sleep at home every day like her father."

"Haha~"

The family laughed again.

Wang Gousheng was the happiest.

Being recognized by grandchildren is a very proud thing.

On the contrary, Wang Tiedan's face turned dark.

I didn't expect that just when I was about to change, I was still used as a negative example.

However, he was not really angry.

I am indeed a little bit lazy, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t change the impression I leave on my children in the future.

After staying at home for two days, Wang Tiedan always felt that something was missing.

I slapped my thigh and remembered.

television.

In the Xiangjiang villa, the bedrooms and living rooms are all equipped with color TVs, as well as rice cookers, washing machines, radios, and coffee machines.

Although I don’t use it much, I have it.

It’s really hard to get things done in this city, you need tickets for everything.

That night, Wang Tiedan strolled to the black market, and after spending a high price, he only managed to buy two TV tickets, in black and white.

I was looking for a color TV.

Really not!

During this period, the production of color TVs was very low, they were specially supplied, and tickets were only issued to the privileged classes.

And the privileged class is not short of money.

It’s just black and white TV, it’s better than nothing.

One is twelve inches and the other is fourteen inches.

The next morning, Wang Tiedan went to the department store again and brought back two televisions.

As soon as he entered the yard, he immediately caused a small commotion in the front yard.

"Tiedan, why did you buy the TV?"

"Indeed, I saw it in the department store."

"It's so big, how much does it cost?"

"The 12-inch one is 470, and the 14-inch one is 538." Wang Tiedan did not hide it.

But this is just the TV money, it doesn't include the ticket money.

If you include the ticket price, it’s more than 1,500.

"It's so expensive. I heard that the nine-inch one is only two hundred and ninety-six. It's just a little bit bigger, but it's so much more expensive."

The three aunts said enviously, but they felt in their hearts that it was not worth it.

The same picture, just that the screen is a little bit bigger, is actually two or three hundred yuan more expensive.

"I don't understand either. It's better to have a bigger one. I can see more clearly when it's bigger."

Wang Tiedan laughed and started pulling the electrical wires out of Ni Ye's house.

Grandma and the others have been working on making soda in the yard all the time.

It's just right, I can watch TV while working, which is also a kind of fun.

As soon as the TV was turned on, the opera segment of Yang Zirong in "Taking Black Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was played. All of a sudden, all the old men and women in the yard lost their composure and gathered around.

"That's good. It's better than listening to the radio."

"Tiedan, speak louder."

"okay."

Wang Tiedan reached out and turned the switch.

Now, everyone in the entire compound, and even in the nearby yards, who was at home, was blown out.

Once I entered the yard and saw the scene on the screen, I could hardly take my eyes off it.

The content on TV is really too attractive.

"It's great to have a TV. I've wanted to buy one for a long time, but I'm a little reluctant."

"Yeah, the TV tickets on the black market are too expensive, almost half a year's salary for me."

"Tiedan is really amazing, he is very generous, he bought two at once."

"Yeah, Tiedan's company is good, they can give out TV tickets! Our company is not so good, we only get one or two tickets a year, it's not our turn at all."

"That's true!"

Wang Tiedan did not refute when he heard this.

It’s good to use your imagination to avoid people getting jealous and reporting you.

After finishing his work here, Wang Tiedan returned to Yard 101 with another TV.

My family members were much calmer.

My father goes to collect Wang Tiedan’s salary every month, which is 42 yuan a month, and he also has his own salary of yuan.

There are also dividends from Dawang Village, which add up to about 500 to 600 yuan a month.

It’s just that my family has been deliberately keeping a low profile and are unwilling to buy it.

He turned on the TV and changed several channels. It was either current affairs or operas, and there were also TV dramas. They were all filmed before the wind started, and the pictures were very rough. Wang Tiedan immediately lost all interest.

However, for my family, every show is watched with great interest.

At night, TV instantly becomes the children's new favorite.

I don’t play with toys anymore, and I don’t hug dolls anymore.

Especially when cartoons are playing, if adults don't remind them, they will stick their faces to the TV screen.

A similar situation also occurred in the cafeteria of Courtyard 95.

The only difference is that if anyone moves closer to the screen, someone will immediately pull them back.

If there are too many people looking at it, it is easy to block the view from the front.

But no matter which side, students have to do their homework and children have to go to bed early.

After 9:30, everyone turns off the TV.

Don't look at it too much.

This is the mandatory requirement.

It’s not that Wang Tiedan asked for it. As long as they are parents, they don’t want their children to be too addicted.

Even if your grandparents spoil you, it’s not okay.

Two days later, Wang Tiedan went to the black market again, but his luck was not very good and he only got two TV tickets.

This was reserved in advance for ticket sellers in the black market.

The next morning, after buying all the machines, Wang Tiedan went directly to Dawang Village, buying one for his eldest sister's home and one for the village branch office.

Compared with three years ago, Dawang Village now looks brand new.

From afar, every household has a red brick and tile house, and each household has a gravel road leading to it.

The road is wide and the villagers are busy.

The sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing seems like the afterlife.

Apart from the clothes worn by the villagers, there is no trace of the 1960s and 1970s.

Wang Tiedan felt that even without his help, relying solely on the breeding farm, the villagers would have been able to live in houses with “upstairs and downstairs, electricity and telephones” before the 1980s.

"Tiedan, you're finally back!"

As soon as we entered the village, all the busy villagers gathered around us.

When they saw Wang Tiedan, they were all very curious.

"Third uncle, fourth uncle...are you all right?"

Wang Tiedan greeted everyone one by one and was also very happy.

"Okay, all is well! Let's go into the village. I can't recognize it now. Do you remember where your home is?"

someone joked.

“I really can’t recognize it.”

"Haha, the village worked hard for two years to build it. Your house is over there, in front of the brigade headquarters. There's also a stage over there."

Wang Tiedan looked in the direction of his finger and saw that there was indeed a platform with a square in front of it, which should be the threshing ground before.

"What do you want to do with this stage? To show a movie?"

"Yes, it is used to show movies and is also convenient for holding village meetings."

"Then I can marry a wife and sing opera here in the future."

"Haha, I dare not think about that. I will definitely invite the theater troupe over if there is a chance in the future."

As they were chatting, the village chief, accountant and other village cadres walked out quickly from the village branch.

"Come on, Tiedan, you're here. It's just in time. The village is discussing the next step of development. Come over and give us some advice."
