Chapter 54: A Gift from the United States: Medium
Under the dormitory building where Chen Hongjun lived, it was really crowded with people at this time.
In the 70s, the speed of gossip spread was no slower than in the Internet era, and Battalion Commander Chen even had a cousin in the United States, and the news that this cousin had sent a lot of good things to their family spread throughout the family homes of the East China Military Region at a speed faster than light.
Don't look at this is the family compound of the East China Military Region, but there are a lot of people who are lively and strange to see, a large piece of Wuyang, speaking of which, it is actually not to blame everyone for such a dirt bun look, it is really too strange today, who had overseas relations before, it has to be desperately hidden, although the current situation is said to be different, but everyone is waiting to see how the country's policy will go, No matter how everyone changes, how will the overseas relations be adjusted, no matter how everyone goes, they can't imagine that such a rigid person as the battalion commander Chen Hongjun actually has overseas relations.
Not only did he have overseas relations, but he also sent a truckload full of high-end foreign goods to Camp Chief Chen through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone saw with their own eyes that there were refrigerators and large color TVs, and there were more than a dozen large cardboard boxes alone, which were strange and beautiful, and they didn't know what was inside.
Does this mean that the attitude of the state towards the overseas relations of its citizens is really changing? The voices of the people are buzzing like a swarm of bees......
"I really didn't expect that Camp Chief Chen's family still has overseas relations, why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Didn't you say it, it's Camp Chief Chen's uncle, who thought that he died outside, who would have thought that he would become a big capitalist in a capitalist country? I see, Camp Chief Chen will be unlucky sooner or later, this is an overseas relationship ......?"
"Shh......h Can't you say that, didn't you see that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally sent someone to send these things to Camp Commander Chen? What does this mean, you haven't thought about it?"
"Don't scare me. β
"What did I scare you? Think about it, if it weren't for the permission from above, maybe someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally brought something to the door?"
"Hiss......" The one who was slow to react, his face turned white with fright.
"Let me tell you, I heard that the above is preparing to make a major adjustment to the economy, although I don't know how to adjust it, but look at the current posture, hehe...... Who has overseas connections, maybe...... Think about it, do you understand?"
........................
Not to mention the lively melon-eating masses, let's talk about Yuan Jia, who received a call from the hospital of the East China Military Region, hurriedly asked for a leave from the unit, and when she got home, she saw that the small living room with multiple functions such as a reception room, a dining room, and her son's study was full of all kinds of colorful and large cardboard boxes, and she could hardly find a plug-in place on the ground.
Yuan Jia, who had never encountered this situation, was so nervous that she couldn't care about having guests at home, so she hurriedly asked Chen Hongjun, "Old Chen?"
His eyes quickly swept around the ground with his eyes.
It wasn't until I saw my husband talking to someone in the living room, two of whom I didn't know, but the others knew each other, and everyone's expressions didn't look like something was wrong, so I was a little relieved, and hurriedly said:
"Are you back?" Knowing what his daughter-in-law's eyes meant, Chen Hongjun shook his head slightly, signaling that it was okay, don't worry, and at the same time pointed to the people in the room and said to Yuan Jia: "This is Director Li Xueshan of the Political Department of our Military Region, this is Comrade Li Xiaolan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this is Comrade Fang Huaying of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they all sent things to us...... Comrade Li, Comrade Fang, this is my lover Yuan Jia. β
As for the comrades-in-arms and friends who came to help, everyone has known each other for so many years, so naturally there is no need to introduce them.
Before coming to Haizhou, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeatedly told Comrades Li and Fang that they must do a good job in the ideological work of Chen Hongjun and his wife, and at the same time do a good job in explaining to the comrades of the East China Military Region, and that Chen Hongjun and his wife must not have any psychological burden, and that the comrades of the East China Military Region do not misunderstand anything.......
After Li Xiaolan explained the situation of these things, Yuan Jia repeatedly confirmed that her family's acceptance of these things was allowed by the state, or it could simply be understood that her family was "receiving them by order", and her heart was completely put back into her stomach. It was only at this time that she began to carefully examine what these cardboard boxes in the room were.
Although I don't know the English on it, I still know the appearance of the picture on the box, and the thing with a square head and a square head and a monitor in the middle should be a TV, right? But why is it so big? It's much bigger than the 9-inch black and white of Political Commissar Liu's house;
The one standing taller than himself...... Oh my God! That's a refrigerator? How can there be such a big refrigerator? The refrigerator of Master Chen's house has only reached his chin, and the capacity seems to be 97 liters, and this refrigerator is so big, the capacity must not be 150 liters?!
The carton looks like a bicycle, but why is it so weird?
There is also the square-headed box, which looks a bit like a washing machine, but it doesn't look like the washing machine at Master Chen's house......
However, after hearing the news, several Chen Hongjun's comrades-in-arms and colleagues who came to help were a little unable to hold back, and urged: "Sister-in-law, what can you see when you look at the box? Let's take the box apart and move the things out to see how good?"
"Ah......h......h Why don't we tear this down first?"
"Okay, then let's tear this down first. β
As long as it is unpacking, there is no opinion on which one is opened first.
The 21-inch Panasonic color TV was quickly lifted out of the box by everyone, looking at the 21-inch "giant screen", a room of people and the people watching the lively melon eating crowd at the door all gasped:
"Damn! What a big TV!"
"Big! too big!"
"It's a lot bigger than the 9-inch one in our house, which has to be 15 ...... 18 inches, right?"
"What kind of eyes do you have? The big 3 "21" on the box makes you eat? This is clearly 21 inches. β
"Oh my God!21-inch TV ......"
The crowd was filled with envy mixed with jealous voices.
Some of the people who eat melons were anxious, so they simply shouted: "Camp Chief Chen, quickly plug in the electricity and take a look, let's also see what the 21-inch imported large color TV looks like." β
"Yes, yes, plug it in. β
"Sister-in-law," the two who helped carry the TV out asked Yuan Jia, "Where do you put the TV?"
It's a pity,Yuan Jia doesn't even have a 9-inch small black and white TV at home,This suddenly came21Inch big color TV,Everyone doesn't know where to put itγ
"Just put it ......" his gaze swept around the living room, and Yuan Jia's gaze fell on the Eight Immortals table: "Put the Eight Immortals on the table." β
"Great!"
"Wait!" Suddenly Chen Geng mentioned the matter in the letter, Chen Hongjun suddenly became agitated, and hurriedly said: "Don't plug in yet." β
"What's wrong?" the one who was holding the plug of the TV and preparing to plug it into the power strip was a little strange, but the reaction in his hand was not at all satisfied, and he quickly stopped.
"My nephew said,This TV is the voltage standard in the United States,The voltage in the United States is 110V,Our country's is 220V,You have to use the voltage regulator he sent to reduce our 220V voltage to 110V before you can use it," Chen Hongjun, who hurriedly took out Chen Geng's letter from his coat pocket, looked at it twice, and nodded heavily: "Well, that's what I said, all electrical appliances are like this." β
The one who just took the plug and was about to plug it into the power strip, there were beads of sweat immediately coming out of his head: he almost broke someone's 21-inch imported color TV just now?!
If you really break someone's house, what compensation will you get?
Yuan Jia was also taken aback, and the fool also knew that plugging an electrical appliance with a voltage of 110V into a plug-in board with a voltage of 220V would definitely burn out the electrical appliance. I really burned out such a brand-new TV set, and I couldn't find a place to cry, so I hurriedly said, "Really?
"Well, that's what I said," Chen Hongjun nodded hurriedly and handed the letter to Yuan Jia: "I don't believe you." β
Really!
Hurriedly scanned the letter, sure enough, his cousin explained clearly in the letter, saying that all electrical appliances must be used after the voltage regulator is reduced, otherwise the electrical appliances will be burned out due to overpressure, and he also explained in the letter that all electrical appliances have been handwritten in a Chinese manual, as long as they are compared with the pictures on the English manual, they can be used normally.
Thinking that a big color TV was almost destroyed, Yuan Jia was also afraid for a while, and when he saw that Chen Hongjun was still there in a daze, he was a little angry: "Why don't you hurry up and find out the voltage regulator?"
"Ahh......h
Chen Hongjun reacted at this time, hurriedly found a few that looked exactly the same from a pile of cardboard boxes, found a voltage regulator from it, connected the power strip at home, adjusted the output voltage, and saw that the output pointer pointed to 110V, so he carefully plugged in the plug of the TV and turned it on......
After some busy work and adjusting the channel, the TV finally showed a clear picture, but everyone in the room was dumbfounded: why is the picture black and white?
The eyes of the people inside and outside the door fell on Chen Hongjun.
Chen Hongjun grabbed his hair anxiously, suddenly patted his brains, and sneered: "I remember, the letter said that if the picture is black and white, it is a mismatch of the standard, and the system needs to be adjusted to the PAL standard." β
Yuan Jia glared at him angrily, and the implication was that what can you do?
"Hey...... I'll tune it up, I'll tune it ......," Comrade Chen Hongjun sneered.
