In the Qindao Department Store, Jiang Xun also walked with Jiang Di in the home appliance exhibition area.

"Daxun, you want to buy a TV for your eldest sister, does your mother know?" Jiang Di looked at the dazzling array of TVs, and was a little dazzled for a while.

"If you buy it, you'll know." Jiang Xun asked about the price of the TV.

Most of the TVs here are made in China, and very few are imported, "Is there a kind of TV with a remote control?" ”

TV with remote control?

The waiter shook his head ignorantly.

Jiang Xun was also a little disappointed, he could only go to the seafarers again, the seafarers were the seafarers' club in Qindao, in the eighties, it was equivalent to Lao Mo in the sixties in Beiping!

Those who can eat at seafarers are those who can afford it.

Not to mention, it's really not a coincidence, Jiang Xun really didn't know where to buy a remote control TV in Qindao.

After walking for a day, inquiring for a day, and returning empty-handed, Jiang Xun was not discouraged, and asked everyone where there was a remote control TV.

"Second sister, why don't I go back to Beiping and send one back to my eldest sister?" The two siblings were tired on the way home.

"Don't you have to buy a remote control TV?" Jiang Di was unimpressed.

"Every family has color TVs, and I have to buy what others don't have." Jiang Xun pushed open the door, but found that Zhang was sitting at home, the head of the Peking Opera Troupe.

Oh, after saying hello, Jiang Xun wanted to go back to the room, but Jiang Wenyuan stopped him.

"That's right, Daxun," Head Zhang's attitude was very kind, "I want to ask, do you want to buy a color TV?" ”

No, Jiang Wenyuan and Zhao Liming looked confused.

Well, Head Zhang looked at the sister and brother.

"I want to buy one for my eldest sister." Jiang Xun couldn't hide this from his parents, so he could only admit it, but he was the head of a Peking Opera troupe, and he didn't sell color TVs.

"I said, it's a coincidence," Captain Zhang patted his thigh, "I have one at home." ”

Last month, Zhang's father took the family to Beiping for a trip, and when he came back, he showed off everywhere.

This ostentation is an accident.

Zhang's father had an old colleague, and when he was retired, the unit sent a sum of money, so he begged him to buy a color TV in Beiping. Naturally, Zhang's father was full of promises, and finally one day, his uncle in Beiping sent a letter back, saying that the color TV had been bought, and it was made in Japan, 21 inches, and it was still with remote control.

At this time, not to mention that it is rare to see a color TV with remote control in Qindao, even at my uncle's house in Beiping, the TV I watch at home still does not have remote control.

Captain Zhang's father hurriedly went to inform the old cadre, but when the old cadre heard the price of the TV, good guy, more than 6,000, the whole family discussed it all night, and they all said that the TV was too expensive, and their family decided not to want it.

turned around the old cadres I knew, none of them were willing to ask for this TV of more than 6,000, the old man of Zhang's family was on fire, the TV had arrived in Qindao, and the money had not been given to his uncle in Beiping, he was in a hurry, and he was directly admitted to the hospital!

Okay, now I finally heard that someone inquired about the remote control TV, and after another inquiry, it was still a unit, and Commander Zhang didn't care whether the leader was leading or not, so he went directly to the door.

"Dadi, Daxun ......" Head Zhang's family can't afford it, and our family can't afford it, looking at this unconscious sister and brother, Zhao Liming's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water, "You want to buy a TV?" ”

Jiang Di didn't dare to speak.

"I know, didn't Daxun shoot commercials, I heard that he has been acting in dramas and has money," Head Zhang dared to say anything in order to sell this TV, "Lao Jiang, you will help my brother, in the future in the group, you will say a word about anything, brother, I will definitely have nothing to say!" Head Zhang looked at Jiang Wenyuan with a blank look and patted his chest and reassured.

The head of the group said so, and Jiang Wenyuan could only look at his son dryly.

The son didn't speak, and he felt that he couldn't say it anymore, and he would rather offend Captain Zhang than take over the TV, it was too expensive.

Seeing that Jiang Wenyuan didn't speak, Head Zhang lowered his head, and the TV set was smashed into his hands.

"Commander, your TV is imported from Japan, right, a twenty-one-inch color TV? How much do you want? Jiang Xun was very crisp and spoke loudly.

Head Zhang raised his head suddenly, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face, "Daxun, you have thought about it, are you willing to buy this TV?" Six thousand two hundred and eight, six thousand two hundred and eight, remote control, I will send you home at night......"

At this time, only a few families in Qindao began to use color TVs, and the so-called color TVs, refrigerators and washing machines, the size of the "three major pieces" is not large

Even if the refrigerator is only a single door, the washing machine is a double cylinder, and the TV is black and white, people's lives are sweeter than honey.

"Six thousand two?"

"It's too expensive......"

"Then you say, how much can you give?" Head Zhang looked at the young man, who was not very old, but very calm. It's like he's grasping at a life-saving straw and never letting go.

"I know, I know, that's a bit much, six thousand, do you think it's okay? These more than 200 yuan, just when I lost ......"

"Sister......" Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Di.

Jiang Di didn't dare to answer at all, the six thousand yuan was beyond her understanding, as a newly graduated middle school teacher, her salary during the internship period was only more than forty yuan per month.

"It's too expensive."

"Then how much do you say," the color TV that no one cared about, and finally someone asked, "Five thousand eight, five thousand six ......" Zhang felt blood dripping in his heart, "Okay?" ”

"Okay, I'll ask my dad......" Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Wenyuan, who was flushed and at a loss, "My dad said it's okay,......"

"Oops, oops," Regiment Leader Zhang happily grabbed Jiang Wenyuan's hand, "Lao Jiang, thank you, you solved my big problem, thank you, if there is something in the group in the future, you will say a word......

Jiang Xun looked at his father's appearance, on the stage, he could be Huang Zhong or Xue Rengui, a hero, but when he got off the stage, he was just an ordinary person, with leaders above and a wife at home, he didn't dare to offend.

This kind of color TV,506 is really unavailable,Got,I helped others,I also bought a cheap color TV!

……

At noon in October, the sun was blazing.

Liu Bin's parents were dressed in new clothes, carefully holding a wooden box in their hands, followed by family members in new clothes, some holding sugar, some carrying meat, and some holding fish.

In Qindao, the marriage is that the parents and main relatives of both parties have a meal together to recognize the in-laws, which is a formal banquet, the purpose of which is to officially tell the woman the time of marriage, so it is also called "sending the day"

Liu Bin also walked in the middle of the team, wearing a shirt on his upper body, a pair of blue pants on his lower body, and new leather shoes on his feet, and from time to time he greeted the neighbors of Lao Jiang's family in the family courtyard of the Peking Opera Troupe.

Jiang Wenyuan's family, the old couple is also new, Jiang Feng cleaned the house cleanly, and looked at his own family wearing a red skirt

Girl, look at her own son, alas, it is not as happy to marry a girl as it is to marry a daughter-in-law.

The birds were chirping in the trees, and the apples in the courtyard had borne fruit, weighing heavily on the green branches.

"Head Jiang, this is the little six ...... we brought" The Liu family lined up, and everyone had the same thing in their hands.

These six things, the woman does not leave all the left, in addition to the meat, but also return the man two, but as the saying goes, the girl is the meat on the mother's body, which cannot be given up, so if you marry someone else's daughter, you need to cut 6 catties of meat to symbolize compensation.

"And." Liu's mother smiled and handed the box in her hand to Zhao Liming, "This is Dabin's ...... to Dafeng"

"What is this?" Zhao Liming opened the box when he saw it, and Jiang Di also hurried over, and under the sun, the contents of the box flickered......

Inside the box are three kinds of gold, and there is a gold bracelet.

Yes, the faces of the old Liu family are full of pride, these things, you can't say that you treat your daughter-in-law badly.

"Well, I also prepared something for my sister......" Jiang Xun walked to Jiang Feng, who looked puzzled, and walked to the window, downstairs, it was a light truck, and on the car was a cardboard box, and the carton was full of Japanese characters.

"Panasonic 21-inch imported color TV, with remote control." Jiang Di took his sister's hand and stood in front of the window.

"I'll send my eldest sister with my second sister." Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Feng with a surprised look on his face and smiled.

What is remote control,My in-laws can't figure it out,But what Liu Bin's mother can figure out is,The original price of this color TV is more than 6,000,You can buy more than a dozen black and white TVs of your own home,And,I heard that it is still imported from Japan。

"Daxun, what is remote control?" A brother of the Liu family asked.

"There's just such a remote control, you click on the TV, and you can watch whichever channel you want."

Domestic TVs are still the kind of knob-type channel conversion,Slowly began to appear button-type,But remote control TVs are still rare。

"Then open it and take a look." Several brothers and sisters of the Liu family were very excited.

"Don't fight, go eat first, and we'll see later." Liu's mother stopped her, she was afraid that such a delicate thing would be broken by these young people in a frustrated way.

"Pull it to your new house," Liu's mother instructed her future daughter-in-law, "Remember, lock the door, Daxun, don't I remember that I am still in college?" ”

"Well, he's acting in a TV series outside." Jiang Feng smiled.

"Oh, he went to the Spring Festival Gala in the city, and he also knew Ni Ping and Tang Guoqiang, he is also a star......"

The mother of the Liu family affectionately held the hand of the future daughter-in-law, Jiang Feng looked at Liu Bin over there, and smiled even brighter, new home, color TV...... If there is a color in life, it must be color, not black and white!

She looked at her brother and sister again, and tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was as pure and transparent as jade in the sun......

The sky was blue and blue, the sun was bright and bright, and the clouds were drifting slowly, and the church bells rang from the sky, and the white smoke that rose at noon was more and more distant......

……

The engagement banquet at noon lasted until the evening, the eldest sister was engaged, the sister and brother were very happy, and Jiang Xun pulled Jiang Di to drink two bottles of champagne.

This wine is a specialty of Kotoshima, and it tastes like a soda, and people here drink it as a soda.

"Daxun, you send a color TV when your eldest sister is engaged, will you still send it when you get married?"

"Send."

"What to send?"

"Send a pig's head."

"Do you still need to bring it back from Beiping?"

"No, Kotoshima ready-made, our family ready-made ......"

"Where,...... Daxun, you tease your second sister again, I'll kill you......"
