Chapter 15: Television
Yang Moumou and his sister rushed into the house, threw down their schoolbags, and scrambled to turn on the TV.
At this time, my mother would immediately come out of the kitchen, holding a spatula or soup spoon on her mobile phone, and loudly stop the two sisters from arguing, teaching them to be friendly and humble. As a result, her mother "influenced" Yang Moumou by force, and her sister chose her favorite channel. Although the programs that my sister and sister like are similar, her mother's partiality makes Yang Moumou super unhappy, and she can't get used to seeing the villain of Sister Fan.
Today, Yang Moumou took the lead and dominated the TV.
Fan Mei Cub shouted to the kitchen, "Sister, let me see it too." ”
I haven't seen it yet! Sure enough, it's a villain! Yang Moumou was angry, so he simply stretched out his limbs to cover the TV.
"Sister!" Sister Fan was in a hurry, stretched her neck to the kitchen, and shouted, "Sister! You've run out of TV! ”
This Fan sister cub wants to recruit her mother out. But Mom still didn't come out.
Yang Moumou was surprised and turned on the TV. There are only horizontal black and white stripes and white dots on the screen, and there is no picture at all. Yang Moumou tuned all the channels several times, and it is still the same.
"Mom! The TV is out of picture! Yang's neck also stretched out to the kitchen.
The two sisters are like two white geese singing to the sky.
Just in time, Dad is back.
The two white geese turned their heads to their father, "Dad, the TV is broken, we told our mother, and my mother ignored us." ”
It is the prerogative of children to complain, but there is only one way to sue their father and mother: Dad pretends not to hear. Never expect Dad to point at Mom's nose and reprimand Mom, never!
Dad walked to the TV and repeated what Yang Moumou had just done, turning the switch and twisting the channel. Yang Moumou and his sister stared at the TV with hope, praying that the picture would appear, and that his father was an adult, and he would definitely be able to get it right.
However, there are still horizontal black and white stripes and small white dots jumping on the screen.
Dad scratched his head embarrassedly, avoiding the complaining eyes of his two daughters and the upturned mouth, "The TV is broken again." ”
Mom came out of the kitchen, "It broke down this morning." This broken TV has problems at both ends in three days. Forget it. ”
No wonder it didn't come out just now, it turned out that my mother had long known that the TV was broken, Yang Moumou thought. She almost thought that her mother would treat her and Fan Girl cubs equally!
Dad tossed a few more times, a little frustrated, "Throw? If you throw it away, you won't have a TV to watch. ”
Mom snorted coldly, "Buy another one!" Many of them have changed their TVs. ”
This TV is an antique. When I bought it back, Yang Moumou and his parents were still in the village, living with their grandparents. At that time, the whole village could not afford or was reluctant to buy a TV, and Dad made a start.
This is really big news, people from the village gather from all directions, close to their parents, grandparents, and even Yang, just to be able to watch TV at night on the earthen dam in front of their house.
Uncle Zhang in the village held his grandfather's hand, and his beard trembled with excitement, "You are really blessed, your son is capable, a national teacher, an iron rice bowl, and now he has bought a TV." ”
Grandpa said, "Do you want to come and watch it together at night?" There are many people. ”
That's what Uncle Zhang was waiting for. He's a movie buff. In order to watch a movie, he can walk dozens of miles back and forth. It's okay when you go, but you have to go back at night, because open-air movies have to be shown at night, and you can't see it clearly during the day.
Once, he was delayed in his farm work, and it was getting late, so he was in a hurry to go to the movies without eating. The two little grandchildren of the family were also making a fuss about going, and he didn't have time to spend it with them, so he immediately threw two small things into the two baskets, and as soon as he picked up the flat burden, he carried it and went on the road.
It had rained the first day, and the field path under my feet was a little slippery. Uncle Zhang swayed left and right on the road, "Don't move!" I won't take you anymore! Uncle Zhang was anxious and poured his anger on his little grandson. If he hadn't picked up these two little ancestors, he would have been able to run over in one go.
yes, why didn't he think of that? He can run! He has the strength, how light it is to pick two small things! Uncle Zhang took a step and ran.
Sure enough, the speed was much faster, and the basket became lighter. Uncle Zhang was happy in his heart, and his steps were bigger.
Wait, it doesn't seem right, why is the basket so light? It felt like it was empty.
Uncle Zhang slowed down and looked down. Both baskets are empty! Where did his little grandchildren go?
He hurried back the way he came.
Two little things are lying crooked in the field, crying and struggling! Their faces were smeared with mud, and they were black everywhere except for their eyes. His body was also covered in mud, as if he was wearing a jumpsuit.
Uncle Zhang hurriedly pulled up his trouser leg and pulled his little grandson out of the mud.
The little grandson was saved, and he cried loudly at the top of his throat, shouting that he wanted to go home.
Okay, okay, Uncle Zhang promised to put the two little grandchildren back into the basket, but he still rushed to the place where the movie was shown with a flat shoulder. That night, when the two little grandchildren were brought home by their grandfather, the mud on their bodies had already dried and cracked, and they could be directly peeled like preserved eggs.
Uncle Zhang and Grandpa exchanged two more words and turned around and walked home. He wants to go home and bring his little grandchildren with him. It's only ten minutes away, and it really can't get any closer.
It was not dark yet, and Yang's family was still eating in the back room, and it was already lively outside. People came here with benches and kettles, talking and laughing. Adults carry children on their backs, and the children's pockets are carrying the fried peanuts and fried broad beans at home, and from time to time touch one and put it in their mouths, crunchy.
Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. They greeted Yang's family, "What about eating?" ”
Yang's father hurriedly got up and moved the TV out of the house. Everyone said that there was no hurry, you eat first, but the movements of your hands were very honest, and they all reached out to lift the TV.
That night, nearly a hundred people came. Everyone spontaneously arranged their seats according to their height to ensure that everyone could see it. When watching TV, all people, adults and children, all hold their breath and stare without making a sound, for fear of disturbing others' viewing. Seeing the excitement, everyone sighed in unison, and then returned to calm.
Yang Moumou sat in the first row, and the food in his hand was never broken. She accepted it unceremoniously and enjoyed the special treatment with peace of mind. Who gave her a TV in her house?
Yang's father stood next to the TV, helping everyone change the channel and adjust the volume from time to time, and there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of his mouth.
After the TV broadcast, everyone said words of thanks and shook hands to say goodbye. Yang's family stood next to the TV and watched the crowd disperse.
This TV has been with Yang's family for several years.
"Is the TV not repaired?" Yang Moumou and his sister flat-mouthed.
"Yes, it can't be repaired! It's all because you usually grab the TV. Mom said viciously.
Dad's tone was a little helpless, "Don't be angry with the child." ”
Dad's words actually worked. Mom no longer reprimanded Yang Moumou and his sister.
She turned to her father, "Then blame you!" Who paid you that low? ”
Dad didn't want to see Mom, so he went to the kitchen, "I'll serve the food." ”
I didn't know that my mother didn't give up, chased after my father, and poked my father's back, "What to eat?" What kind of food do you eat? Look at other people, they've all bought new TVs! ”
"Don't go too far!" Dad slammed the door and walked out.
It's so rare, Dad lost his temper with Mom - Yang Moumou and his sister have always hoped to "rake the ears" Dad will be majestic again. Today finally got their wish, but the two sisters couldn't be happy.
