Chapter 38 Buying a TV
"A Panda brand 14-inch black and white TV, the price is 380 yuan, valid for one month, expired and invalid. β
This TV ticket is extraordinary, with this TV ticket plus 380 yuan you can buy a TV, which is almost invisible in Fucheng, and only some middle and high-level officials in the government can get it.
"Donglai, this is the TV ticket that Xiao Lao gave to your family, and there are a hundred yuan, and there are some textbooks that Liu Lang wants to learn......... Now the times are developing, if you buy a TV, you can see more things, although the price is not cheap, but he hopes that for Liu Lang, you still have to buy a TV. β
"This ...... How can this work?"
Liu Donglai resigned again and again.
"Dad, this is Grandpa Xiao's intention, let's take it, and repay him when I grow up." β
Before Wang Kang could speak, Liu Lang took the lead in replying.
It's not that Liu Lang is "greedy for money", but for Liu Lang, life is too boring now.
Liu Lang's usual "spare time" now It's to read books, but the books at home are the professional books that grandpa usually reads in addition to the textbooks used by uncles and aunts when they go to school, textbooks are all things for children to read for Liu Lang, let a college student go to see primary school textbooks, it is simply a torment, grandpa's professional books are already about to be turned over, and grandpa also has a Water Margin, Liu Lang usually turns it several times, not to say that it is backwards and backwards, that has also become an expert in Water Margin, he and his father have also been to Xinhua Bookstore, but unfortunately the books in it are useless, either this anthology or that anthology, there are two Chinese-English dictionaries that are still somewhat useful, but a few months later they were also Liu Lang's back of the melonγ
In addition, Liu Lang has nothing to play with, and he goes to play with his peers? That is even more of an ordeal, he wants to go to the river ditch to catch fish, but who dares his parents to let him go?
Liu Lang also wants his parents to buy a TV, but the price is too expensive, and the TV ticket is not something that can be obtained with money, and now Xiao Nanguang sent it over for nothing, don't be a fool.
"Haha, little guy, you're right, this is Xiao Lao's heart, and it is also his high hope for you, so don't shirk when you come to the east. β
"This ......... Okay, Director Wang, I'll take this TV ticket, but you must take this money back, we still have more than 300 yuan, and we can't let Xiao Lao break the bank anymore!"
Liu Donglai took the TV ticket, but he didn't want anything for a hundred yuan.
"How can this work? This is what Xiao Lao specially instructed me, besides, this money is not Xiao Lao's own, but a special fee for cultivating young people, good steel must be used on the blade, you have to accept it!"
Liu Donglai wanted to shirk it, but Wang was very resolute, and in the end he could only accept the 100 yuan.
"Wenxiu, you go cook, I'll kill a chicken, and I'll drink some wine with Director Wang today. β
In order to thank each other, Liu Donglai and his wife immediately cooked and entertained each other.
"Okay, let your father come too, he is an intellectual, I admire him very much!"
Wang Kang did not refuse this time, for such a long time, he and the Liu family have also been in contact many times, this family is honest people, there is no contradiction in family harmony, especially Liu Lang's parents, not only filial piety to their parents, but also have nothing to say about their old grandmother, but also let the old family live in their own home, there are not many people who can do this! In addition, Liu Lang's future is unlimited, and he is likely to become a big man in the future, if that is the case, then he will be regarded as climbing to a high branch in the future, which may not help him in the future, but it will be of great help to his descendants.
Liu Lang's mother cooked, Liu Lang's father killed a chicken, and Liu Lang was not idle, took a dollar and two catties of wine tickets given by his father to the nearby grocery store to buy two catties of rice wine, and at dinner time, Liu Lang's grandfather was also called by Wang Kang Kang, and the two of them talked about the past and drank very happily.
A few days later, on Sunday, Liu Lang's father rode out with his second brother in the morning, and more than two hours later, Liu Lang's father pushed the permanent brand 28 bicycle into the alley, with a huge cardboard box tied to the back seat, and Liu Lang's second uncle carefully supported it in the back, for fear that the cardboard box would fall off the car.
"Let me go, let me go, don't break my TV!"
Liu Lang's second uncle roared loudly, it was louder than the sound of the popcorn machine bursting, there was no one around, but when he shouted like this, the people in the entire alley heard it clearly, and after a while, the neighborhood ran out.
"TV? Is this TV?"
Neighbor Grandpa Zhou shouted.
"Uncle Zhou, what is this not a TV? Nanjing Panda brand twelve-inch TV!"
Liu Lang's second uncle's voice was even louder.
"Second brother, you be steady, don't get rid of it!"
Two people pushed their bicycles into the yard amid the hugs of neighbors.
"It's all gone, and we'll call you to watch TV when we're done!"
The second uncle triumphantly blew away a group of people, leaving only a few people from the Zhou family, and the two families have the best relationship, as for other people's families, it is just an ordinary neighbor relationship.
Liu Lang sat on the kang and watched a few people start to get busy, and the grandmother on the side didn't know what this big box was, so she sat up and looked at it curiously.
"What's this big shoe box?"
Grandma asked.
"Grandma, it's a TV!"
"TV chickens? I've heard of big roosters and old hens, why haven't I heard of TV chickens?"
Too much of a grandmother is puzzled.
"Grandma, this TV is not a chicken that eats chickens, you can play the show when you turn it on, it's good!"
Liu Lang replied with a smile.
"Okay, well, the eldest grandson said yes!"
Grandma nodded.
After a while,This TV was assembled by a few people,In fact, this thing doesn't have any parts.,It's just a main body and an antenna.,Connect to the electricity and set up the antenna to make a shadow.γ
Liu Lang still remembers that in his previous life, his family should have had a TV set in 85 or 86 years, when his grandmother had passed away, and his second uncle was also married, living in the house where his grandfather's family now lives, and his grandfather lived in a set of welfare houses assigned to him by the unit, which is the earliest batch of welfare houses in Fucheng.
At that time, every Spring Festival, Liu Lang's father rode a car, Liu Lang sat on the front beam, and the TV was tied to the back seat to go to his grandfather's house, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, a large family sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and they were happy.
It wasn't until '87 that my grandfather bought a 14-inch color TV, so that his father didn't have to carry the TV every year.
But in this life,Liu Lang's family bought a TV three years in advance,In this year, it is definitely a big event that is enough to cause a sensation within a radius of two or three miles,You must know that even the director of Liu Lang's father's factory can't buy a TV at this timeγ
Coincidentally, Liu Lang also bought the Panda brand in his previous life, as the first "high-tech" product of the Liu family, he has deep memories of this TV.
