The dumplings were all wrapped, and the old lady instructed that three curtains should be left outside to freeze, and they should be cooked and eaten tomorrow morning, and the rest should be left in the house.

Xu Shi found three pieces of white cloth, that is, the kind of white noodle pocket, took it apart and washed it, covered it on top of the dumplings, and put it on the outer shelf.

At this time, the temperature is still very low at night, and the dumplings will freeze hard without one night when they are placed outside.

In the winter of the Great Northeast, there is a natural refrigerator outside, and the meat can't be stolen by dogs outside.

The dumplings were wrapped and cleaned up, and the panels, basins, etc. were also pulled away, and there was nothing to do at this time, so the family could only sit on the kang and chat.

"Milk, why don't we buy a TV? Wouldn't it be nice to have a TV? I can watch a lot of shows.

I've heard people say, what else is there for the Spring Festival Gala today, but unfortunately, we don't have a TV at home, so we can't watch it. ”

Yongmin and his brothers and brothers went crazy for a while, and they really felt bored, so they chatted in front of Mrs. Zhou.

"You think beautifully, a TV is a lot of money, the family has a lot of people and a lot of money, how can you have the money to buy a TV?

What's the matter, you don't think your milk is boring here? Then you can go back to the county. Isn't it just that I bought a TV next door, and as for making you greedy like this? When Chen Xiuchun heard this, he glared at his son.

"Mom, don't listen to Yongmin's bear child, the TV has a lot of money, and you have to ask for industrial vouchers. I've saved a lot of industrial vouchers, but how can I have so much money?

The aunt Hu's house next door to us, I bought a TV a while ago, you didn't see that scene, no matter the adults and children in the neighborhood, they all went to his house, and many people went to watch TV at night.

Yongmin also ran to Hu's house after dinner every day, and only came back after watching TV, he was panicking when he watched people have TV eyes, and he read Yang'er in front of you, so you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

Chen Xiuchun was afraid that the old lady would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly explained.

"TV, I've heard it said, it seems to be a box with people in it.

Hey, Xiuchun, have you ever seen that thing? How does that put people in it? Mrs. Zhou was very curious, so she asked Chen Xiuchun.

"Mom, it's not about putting people in a box, it's about recording the video of the show to be performed in advance, it's similar to taking a photo, record it first and then play it on the TV station, we can see it." Chen Xiuchun explained two sentences with a smile.

"Mom, don't worry, maybe it won't be so expensive in two years, our family just told Yongping about his daughter-in-law this year, and the hand must be tight, take it a little slowly, and you can buy it sooner or later."

The old lady nodded, "Well, if that's what you say, the TV is a good thing."

Wait, let's see what happens next year, if we really contract our own development, then you can help me get some industrial vouchers, and we will buy one too.

The children of the province who are celebrating the New Year are back, and there is nothing lively to see. The old lady was full of excitement, but as soon as she pondered the situation at home, she didn't dare to boast and buy it immediately, so let's wait and see.

Zhou Tiantian sat next to her, heard the conversation between her grandmother and her second aunt, tilted her head and began to think about things. "Second uncle, how much does it cost to buy a TV now?"

Zhou Tiantian still doesn't know much about the prices of these years, and there are probably a few daily necessities, and she really can't guess high-end products like TVs.

"It's very expensive, in the county, a fourteen-inch black-and-white TV is nearly six hundred yuan." Chen Xiuchun had a distressed look on his face.

Both of them go to work, their salaries, shift subsidies and other things add together, less than 100 yuan a month, and a TV has to be saved for more than half a year without eating or drinking, who is willing to spend this money?

"Six hundred, that's a lot." Zhou Tiantian nodded.

The money in these years is really 600 yuan, which is really a lot, and the salary of ordinary workers for more than a year, ordinary people are really reluctant to take out so much money to buy a TV.

Brother Lobby got married, and the Lin family only wanted a radio at most, and ordinary people would not dare to think of such an expensive object as a TV.

In terms of the conditions of the Zhou family, they can get money to buy a TV by gritting their teeth, but how can they spend the money indiscriminately when they live at home? I don't know what the policy will be next year, so I don't panic if I keep the money in my hands.

Zhou Tiantian sighed, her family was able to come up with the money, but the money from selling the ginseng didn't move at all, but how to explain it?

Can it be said that it was borrowed from the Han family? Borrowing money to buy a TV? Didn't the brain squeeze the door?

Gotta bear with it, don't think about it, and talk about it when their family really moves out in the future.

"Milk, I'll make a lot of money in the future, and I'll buy the biggest TV for my milk, preferably the kind with color villains." Zhou Tiantian was next to the old lady and made a wish.

"Okay, okay, or my granddaughter is ambitious, then the milk is waiting for you, when you grow up, don't forget to buy a TV for the milk."

Regardless of whether the child's words can be realized in the future, as long as she has this child's heart, the old lady will be satisfied.

"Tiantian, then you have grown up and have a chance, don't you buy it for the second uncle?" Chen Xiuchun smiled and teased Zhou Tiantian.

"Buy, buy for sure." Zhou Tiantian blinked her big eyes, and smiled innocently, "Second uncle, don't worry, even if the sixth brother doesn't buy it, I promise to buy it." ”

The little girl said, her eyes drifted towards Yongmin, and she smiled at Yongmin evilly.

Yongmin was so frightened by his little cousin's smile that he almost jumped up, "Mom, when I make money, the first one to buy a TV for my family first, don't worry, I will definitely buy it." ”

Yongmin has a strong desire to survive, and immediately expressed his attitude to his mother, for fear that his mother would dislike him as his own son if he was unhappy.

The words of the two cousins made several people around them laugh and laughed.

"Okay, good, they're all good children, and I hope you all grow up." The old lady was very relieved, looking at these children at home, how sensible they were.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Zhou Lili came over with a small pot of frozen pears, "Milk, the frozen pears are slowly opened, let's have a refreshment, there is still a while before cooking dumplings." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve vigil to stay up late, usually at this time everyone sleeps, today can not sleep, one by one inevitably sleepy, eat something cold can be more refreshing.

"Yes, yes, eat a frozen pear, this year your sister-in-law went to the market to sell bean sprouts, and happened to meet a seller of frozen pears and frozen persimmons, and bought a lot of them, and they all came over to take a taste." The old lady smiled and beckoned everyone to come over and eat.

There are few fruits in this year, their own family does not produce, and the outside sales are not much and expensive, if it is not for the New Year, I am really reluctant to buy any fruits to eat at ordinary times.

Everyone was also panicked when they saw the frozen pears and frozen persimmons, so everyone came over and got one, Zhou Tiantian pondered for a while and took a frozen pear.

Gently bite open the skin of the frozen pear and suck it up, sure enough, there is sweet and sour and cold juice inside, and it is cool and refreshing.

"Well, it's delicious, the frozen pears are delicious." Zhou Tian nodded with satisfaction.
