My mother originally excused herself, but Zhang Xiaofei's mother really regarded my mother as a sister, so my mother accepted it.

"Has Xiaofei had breakfast, let's have some food." I smiled and took Pu Caodun over and greeted her, "Go back and say to my aunt, thank you for her steamed steamed buns." ”

"Hey, what's the matter?" Zhang Xiaofei grinned widely, "I've eaten breakfast, so I'm not staying at your house, there will be a movie in Xiaolou later, I have to go over." ”

After saying that, he waved at me and left.

"Putting on a movie?" I was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did I remember that in this era, because there were no movie theaters, let alone Internet computers, people wanted to watch movies, so they waited for someone to use a projector and a white cloth to play it on a special day.

At that time, the people in the neighborhood would move benches and hula around them, watching the black-and-white movies that were not very clear with relish.

Sometimes, I will also go to the house with a TV to watch TV, especially on the evening of the thirtieth day, during the Spring Festival Gala, people who have a TV will move the TV out, or call someone to the house for the neighbors to watch.

There is a grandmother in the small building who has a TV at home, not big, black and white, that grandma cherishes the panda brand TV, usually not very open, only during the Spring Festival will take it out for everyone to see.

Usually, I would also take Shen Bi to run over to see.

But this year, we are in the east of the city, and we don't want to see Widow Zhang and my father, so we will definitely not be able to go over to see it.

Perhaps, we can buy a TV ourselves?

My brain suddenly moved, but in an instant, I thought that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if we can afford to buy TV, the shop that sells TV must be closed.

I lowered my head a little lost, and Mr. Ji's calm and calm appearance unexpectedly appeared in my mind.

Or, I should ask Mr. Ji to give it a try.

With this glimmer of hope, I dialed the phone number that Mr. Ji had left for me.

About thirty seconds later, the phone was answered, the voice on the other end was a little noisy, and the sound of quarreling could be faintly heard, of course, the clearest was Mr. Ji's calm and calm voice, "Hey? ”

"Hello? Is it Mr. Ji......" I hesitated, "Well, I want to ask you for a favor." If...... If it's inconvenient for you, forget it. ”

"It's okay, you can talk about it first." Mr. Ji seemed to cover the microphone, the sound of the quarrel faded a lot, and his clear voice became clearer and clearer.

"yes, I want a TV." I don't dare to be verbose anymore, this minute is seven or eight cents, "But the TV sellers are closed, I just wanted to ask you ......"

"It's such a trivial matter." I vaguely felt Mr. Ji smile, "Okay, you go to the gate of Qixiang in half an hour and wait, I'll have someone send the TV over." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

I looked at the earpiece in my hand with some blankness.

Only...... It's as simple as that?

Hanging the receiver back to the phone body, I walked out of the phone booth in a daze, the cold wind blew, I woke up, quickly ran home and took five hundred yuan, rode a tricycle to the door of Qixiang and waited.

About twenty minutes later, a young man came running up on a tricycle with a large suitcase, and when he saw me, he came up and asked, "Is that Miss Shen Jiang?" ”

I nodded.

The young man carried the box to the back of my tricycle and said, "Mr. Ji gave you the TV, will you make it?" ”

If it was really a girl who had never touched a TV, she would definitely not use it.

But it didn't bother me, so I nodded, put my hand in my pocket, touched my five tickets, and asked, "How much is this?" ”

In my budget, it should not exceed 500 yuan.

Of course, if it is exceeded, I can only go back and get the money.

Thinking of this, I regret it a little, I should have told Mr. Ji to ask for a cheaper TV.

It's too expensive, my mom will definitely feel distressed.

Unexpectedly, the young man said to me with a smile, "Mr. Ji said, no money, this is for you." ”

After that, he got on his tricycle and left.

I was left alone at the door of Lane 7, and I didn't react for a long time.

A TV set of several hundred dollars...... You gave it to me like that?

This Mr. Ji, it's too angry!

I excitedly rode my tricycle back to the rental house and beckoned my mother and Shen Bi to help carry the TV back to the house.

Then I took the scissors and cut the tape on it and took the TV out of the foam paper.

Since there was no table, my mom took a big stool and asked me to put it on it.

Shen Bi excitedly gathered around the TV and touched it, "Sister, this is ours?" This TV is so big, it's several times bigger than grandma's downstairs, wow, it's really good. ”

I asked her to take two steps back and felt for the plug and plugged it into the power strip at the back.

The power of the TV flickered, and I took out the remote control from the box again, and pressed it a few times, and the TV screen lit up all of a sudden, but because the channel was not adjusted, the surface was the kind of beating snowflakes.

I tried to press it a few more times, and finally adjusted to the central channel, which showed last night's weather forecast broadcast.

"Ah, or color?" Shen Bi was shocked to pick up three feet tall, she was almost crazy, "My God, it's a color TV, it's actually a color, a color ......"

My mom was also surprised to circle around the TV twice, and finally found a small bench and sat on the side, staring at the colorful host on the TV screen with interest.

I didn't expect this to be a color TV,I calculated the price in my heart,Ordinary black and white TV costs three or four hundred yuan,Color TV may cost eight or nine hundred,Thousand。

Mr. Ji actually gave me such a valuable thing, you know, we only opened a store for 2,000 yuan.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, put the remote control aside, turned around and ran out to call Mr. Ji again.

Sadly, no one picked it up this time.

I hung up the receiver and went back to the rental house with some trepidation.

My mother and Shen Bi both saw a color TV for the first time, and they both watched it with relish.

Because I have seen the Internet, computers, and high-definition videos, I don't have any feeling for this kind of blurry TV, so I took the initiative to cook dumplings.

After eating, the firecrackers outside were so loud and crackling that my mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a piece of cloth and covered the TV, and then lay on the bed to rest.

Shen Bi and I had nothing to do, we walked around twice outside, and when we came home, we helped my mother make a lot of dumplings.

In order to get a good luck, in addition to the spring meat filling, the dumplings are also wrapped with a few sugars and a few money.

When it was dark, my mother took a piece of noodles and glued all the mouths of knives, shovels, and things, which means that they will not need to eat dumplings for the next few days, which is also a small custom of ours.

When all this was done, and it was getting dark, my mother took out a long wooden stick from behind the door and blocked the door of our rental house.

The implication is to keep the wealth and at the same time block bad luck.

Shen Bi and I were very interested, seeing that my mother had done all this, she went out to set off a firecracker, and the family was ready to eat.

After eating, I washed the dishes and chopsticks, I looked at the time, it was already half past seven, so I told Shen Bi to go to Zhang Xiaofei's house and shout.

In the past few years, there is no TV hidden at home, and it is generous to take it out for everyone to see, although I don't want Xiaolou to know, but I don't want to watch TV secretly because of this, so I plan to notify Zhang Xiaofei's family.

As soon as she saw me, she gave me a bear hug and shouted, "Wow, great, there is a color TV, it's great, it's great, it's good, it's good, I've watched it in black and white for many years, and I finally have the opportunity to take a look at it." ”

I broke free from her arms a little helplessly, asked Zhang Xiaofei's parents to sit down, and called a few children from the neighborhood over, my mother brought some melon seeds and peanuts, and soon, the Spring Festival Gala began.

At that time, the Spring Festival Gala, as the only entertainment program for the people in the Chinese New Year's Eve, was still very eye-catching.

Not only the children, but also the adults watched it intently, especially when it came to the sketch show, the laughter in the room never stopped.

During this period, because the sound of the TV was loud, the rental house was not soundproof, and people came to watch TV one after another.

Eventually, there were not enough stools, and some people stood and watched, or simply sat on the ground and watched.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock that after Mr. Gu sang an unforgettable tonight, everyone left one after another.

Of course, Shen Bi and I didn't know about this, and the two of us were already sleepy.

The next morning, I was shouted by my mother at dawn, a mouthful of sugar cane was fed to my mouth, I subconsciously took a bite, chewed, and the sweet juice flowed into my heart.

"Take a bite on the first day of the new year, and it will be sweet and sweet forever." My mother said an auspicious word with a smile, stuffed a red envelope for me, turned her head and fed Shen Bi again, and also stuffed a red envelope for her.

When we both woke up, my mom started cooking dumplings.

Because she has been eating dumplings for the past two days, Shen Bi is a little tired of eating, my mother glanced at her, and suddenly talked about the New Year's greetings, "Although you two are girls, you don't have to visit relatives and friends, but since your grandparents are here, you still have to go to visit the New Year." And your dad, at least greetings. ”

Shen Bi was anxious when she heard this, "Why don't you go, go there to see people's faces?" I don't want to. ”

"Bi-chan." My mom sighed and put down the bowl, "You're going to have to change your temper." I know you don't want to go to Xiaolou, but your grandparents are there after all, if you don't go, you will be told in the future, there is really an unfilial hat on your head, which will not be good for you in the future. ”

"Just say it, if I say not to go, I will not go." Shen Bi rolled her eyes disdainfully.

When my mom saw that she couldn't make sense of her, she looked at me.

I swallowed the dumplings a little helplessly, "Mom, I know." ”

Although I don't want to go, I have to admit that my mother is right, the tongue is too important, and it is not worth it to compromise our sisters' future for the sake of gambling.
