Chapter 22 Buying a TV

In May, flowers are blooming and life is everywhere.

On the second day, it was Sunday. Although Li Zhongxin experienced the tragic May Day, he still got up at 5:20 a.m., ran east along Fufeng Street to Jiangcheng No. 9 Middle School at the east end, pressed his legs in the campus of No. 9 Middle School, stretched his waist, did a few pull-ups, and then ran around the playground of the campus.

After breakfast, he and Feng Xiaowu gave Wang Bo three newly purchased thirty seventy-meter-long hanging nets, and he asked Feng Xiaowu to carry him to the Workers' Cultural Palace in the center of Jiangcheng.

What does the Palace of Workers' Culture do? As the name suggests, it must be a place for workers to use for activities and entertainment.

Li Zhongxin was deeply impressed by the development of the Workers' Cultural Palace, the Workers' Cultural Palace in Jiangcheng in the 80s was synonymous with cinemas and bus terminals, the Workers' Cultural Palace in Jiangcheng in the 90s was synonymous with the dance hall and billiards hall, and the Jiangcheng Workers' Cultural Palace in the 2000s was synonymous with dating and drinking acacia, and before Li Zhongxin was reborn, the Workers' Cultural Palace was synonymous with cram school training schools. It was at that place that Lee Zhongxin's daughter learned dance.

Li Zhongxin came to the Workers' Cultural Palace, ready to take Feng Xiaowu to watch a movie, and then went out to have a big meal to replenish his body and comfort his little heart that was injured yesterday.

The era when there was nothing in mobile phones and computers was too boring, so boring that Li Zhongxin didn't know what to do, and watching a movie from the 80s was definitely a very good choice.

When he arrived at the Workers' Cultural Palace, Li Zhongxin was surprised to see that the place where movie tickets were sold was actually the kind of place where the ticket seller sat in the room and a small semicircular window was open on the wall.

In front of the window, the small blackboard reads: One movie ticket for adults is five dimes, and one is two dimes for children.

Feng Xiaowu spent seven dimes to buy two movie tickets, and spent a dollar not far from the ticket office to buy some melon seeds and yokan, and then took Li Zhongxin into the cinema.

What Li Zhongxin didn't expect was that the first movie he watched after his rebirth was "Shaolin Temple" played by Jet Li.

Li Zhongxin, who has watched "Shaolin Temple" several times in later generations, has a very average sense of movies in this era, and he fell asleep watching it.

After often watching the kind of movies that cost hundreds of millions or billions, such a movie cannot be said to be the same at all.

However, Li Zhongxin knows that the movie "Shaolin Temple" has set off a boom in action movies across the country, and it has become even more crazy for Jueyuan, who is super bullish in that movie.

If he remembers correctly, after the movie "Shaolin Temple" was staged, countless children and teenagers had a dream of martial arts, and even many children began to practice martial arts at this time, went out of the house, and went to Shaolin to learn art.

Feng Xiaowu and Li Zhongxin are different, after watching a movie, the whole person is so excited that he doesn't want to.

Even when he was having dinner with Li Zhongxin, he was still thinking about the movie, and from time to time he told Li Zhongxin about his love for the movie "Shaolin Temple", and he told Li Zhongxin that if he had time, he would like to watch it again.

Feng Xiaowu even said to Li Zhongxin that if he wasn't old now, and there was a sick mother at home, he would have the idea of going to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

Li Zhongxin figured out the scarcity of spiritual food in this era, and wanted to synchronize material and spiritual food, and even felt that he should add a large item to his home.

Thinking that he couldn't come out to operate this kind of thing, he asked Feng Xiaowu to tell Wang Bo to take time to go home next week, send 200 yuan to the family, and let his mother and father scrape together some more money to buy a TV.

Wang Bo now has money in his hands, and it is reasonable to spend 200 yuan to buy a TV for the second grandfather and second grandmother, after all, Wang Bo can gain a foothold in Jiangcheng, all with the funding of the second grandfather and eldest sister Wang Yaqing, and it is natural to spend part of the money to buy a TV.

Li Shangyong and Wang Yaqing did not agree with Wang Bo's purchase of part of the money to buy a TV, after all, there were not many people with TVs nearby at this time, and it was a bit extravagant to spend such a large sum of money to buy TV.

However, Wang Bo said that the purchase of TV is for the second grandfather and second grandmother, and if they don't pay for it, then he can buy it himself.

After two days of discussion, Li Shangyong finally agreed to buy the TV.

To Li Zhongxin's surprise, the third uncle Wang Bo took 200 yuan, but his parents only scraped together 150 yuan and asked someone to buy a 14-inch Panda brand TV in Jiangcheng Department Store.

Although Jiangcheng was able to buy a better TV, Li Zhongxin's parents, as the second family to buy a black-and-white TV set among more than a dozen neighboring households, insisted on buying a 14-inch Panda brand black-and-white TV with a price of 350 yuan. (Inches are feet, one inch is about 2.54 inches, 14 inches is 35 centimeters, and 14 inches of a TV is equivalent to the diagonal length of the screen is 35 centimeters.) )

According to the idea of Li Zhongxin's parents, it is already an extremely luxurious thing to be able to see the TV at this time, and if you get a big guy, the threshold of the family will probably be broken at that time.

After the TV was purchased, it was carefully placed by Li Shangyong on the two camphor wood boxes when he got married.

The mattress and quilt on top of the two wooden boxes were placed on the windowsill.

There are two reasons for this.

One is that the neighbors in the neighborhood did not buy a TV at this time, and the half-grown children all wanted to watch TV, as soon as someone bought a TV, they would immediately move a small bench and sit directly in the house and wait for the TV to be played.

If the TV was on a table on the floor, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many children.

Another main reason was that the signal was very weak at that time, and the TV program could not be clearly received by the antenna that came with the TV.

If you want to receive a clear TV program, you need to make a new TV antenna yourself.

Bend the thin iron pipe several times to form a rectangle, and fix it with wood underneath, and then tie this TV antenna to the chimney above the house, and connect it to the original antenna of the TV with a thin wire, and you can clearly see the two stations.

These two stations, one is the local station, and the other is the central station, but the local station does not have any good programs at this time, and most people choose to watch the central station.

After having a TV, Wang Xiutai and He Shuqing have an extra livelihood at home during the day, and they can watch it with relish, and after Li Shangyong and Wang Yaqing get off work, they will even tell them what news they watched on TV during the day and what good-looking TV programs they saw.

bought a TV more than a year in advance and delivered it to his home, Li Zhongxin didn't feel any benefits, but he had a lot more troubles.

As long as it is a child near his home, almost every night after eating, he does not do entertainment activities such as hiding cats or catching people, and all gather in his house to watch TV.

Although at this time, the TV can only receive local and central stations, but there is just a TV program, which is especially popular with children.

At this time, CCTV was broadcasting Czechoslovakia's "The Story of the Mole", and the cute little mole was particularly cute.

As long as it's a child, there's no one who doesn't like the story of the mole.

Li Zhongxin didn't expect that adding a big piece didn't make the family feel any benefits, but there were a lot of troubles, especially the grandfather and grandmother are a little old, and they are used to going to bed early and getting up early, but those children don't care if the old people in your house sleep or not, and they keep seeing Li Zhongxin's house turn off the TV.

They are all good neighbors around, and the relationship is quite good on weekdays, so they can't go out without saying that if there are snacks or something to eat at home, Wang Yaqing will also take them out and give these children a point.

It is precisely because of such a reason that the surrounding neighbors have rave reviews of the Li family.

Originally, Li Zhongxin wanted to buy a TV as soon as possible, so that his grandmother and grandfather could enjoy the fun of TV in advance, which could be regarded as painful and happy.
