1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Zhou'er, what are you doing? Where did you get the TV?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion. "You don't know, I spent a lot of effort to get this." Zhou Fengxia said proudly. "Let me tell you, this thing is so popular. The Panasonic 21-inch color remote control TV that just came out not long ago is really amazing." "Didn't we have to go to the front to change the channel for our previous TV? This thing doesn't need to be changed, the cat can be adjusted in the bed. Don't you think it's amazing?" After saying that, Zhou Fengxia leaned against the side of the car and waited for praise. "Wow? You are quite capable, how much did you spend?" Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise. It should be said that Zhou Fengxia's favor is indeed a bit big. Because the mainstream TV nowadays is 18-inch color TV. What else can I say about this thing? Only very well-off people can afford it. One set costs more than 3,000 yuan.

In Erdaoling Village, a 12-inch black-and-white TV is a hard currency.

And a 21-inch TV with a remote control is a hard currency even in a larger city.

He didn't pay much attention to the TV before, because he thought it was boring to watch that little thing and have to turn the antenna frequently.

But now Zhou Fengxia brought a valuable gift, and he had to pay attention.

"Let's not talk about money. It hurts feelings if we talk too much." Zhou Fengxia smiled slightly.

"This time I brought not only a TV, but also a video player and a box of videotapes. Huo Yuanjia, Shanghai Bund and The Legend of the Condor Heroes are all complete. You can watch them when you have nothing to do at home."

"Originally, I wanted to buy you a power amplifier and a set of speakers. But I feel like there is no place to put them in this room of yours."

"Aren't you going to renovate the house? I'll get everything for you then. The sound of this TV is not bad. Hurry up, I can't hold the TV."

"Brother Zhou, what is this?"

Seeing that his father hadn't come back for a long time, Doudou, who had come out for a stroll, asked curiously.

"Hahaha, Doudou, this thing is awesome. There are little people fighting inside." Zhou Fengxia said happily.

"You kid, you actually did something I couldn't refuse. I owe you a favor for nothing." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"What? This is the effect I want." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you for my imported car. Just return it to me when the time comes. These small things don't matter. I'll find them for you."

Chen Tiezhu shook his head, picked up the TV and walked into the house.

Zhou Fengxia followed behind with a video player and a large box of videotapes.

Doudou was even more curious. Why are there so many large boxes? Could it be that the large boxes are filled with meat?

"Oh my god, what is this?"

He Jianguo was shocked when Chen Tiezhu brought it into the house.

"Wait for me to take out the TV that Xiao Zhou bought." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Zhou'er, go to the cabinet and connect it. Haven't you eaten yet? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. It smells delicious."

"I really haven't eaten yet. I'll rush to your house from the city after receiving the food." Zhou Fengxia nodded.

"Oh, a color TV? So big? And so many videotapes?"

Lu Dan is a connoisseur, and he was very happy when he saw it.

"Huo Yuanjia, Shanghai Bund, and Legend of the Condor Heroes are all here, whatever you want to watch. I'll go around and see if there are any cartoons or something to show to Doudou." Zhou Fengxia said happily.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Zhou is very impressive, and a good comrade." Lu Dan nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get some fire in the pot, and cook the noodles for him." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, and add more meat." Lu Dan responded and ran directly to the outer room.

It should be said that with the TV, the flashlight, which was once the first household appliance in Chen Tiezhu's family, can be gloriously relegated to the third place.

"This guy is really good, can the TV be so big? It's like a small movie." He Jianguo sighed.

"Come on, Zhou'er, you can be considered a half-honorary villager in our village now." Chen Tiezhu joked.

"Well, I have to keep working hard." Zhou Fengxia sighed.

"Master, what about me?" Lu Dan in the outer room asked.

"You are half-honored now." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Master's wife, you see, Master only knows about bears." Lu Dan began to complain.

"You know he is like this, why are you still asking him? I will give you half-honored, and you can also be considered a half-honored villager."Half." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

Lu Dan was silent, forgetting that the master and his mistress were not ordinary people.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu had also stretched the noodles, and he didn't need to worry about the rest of the work, the two girls could do it well.

"Dad, what is this? There is no meat."

When he came over, Doudou asked with some disappointment.

"How much meat did you eat tonight? You still miss eating meat." Chen Tiezhu hugged her in his arms.

"This is a color TV. When Brother Zhou buys you a camera in the future, you can record Doudou and see Doudou on this TV."

"Brother Chen, you are my real brother, I will continue to sneak." Zhou Fengxia took the time to look back at him and said with emotion.

"Zhou'er, don't listen to his crazy talk. You won't leave tonight, right? I'll warm up some wine for you. "Han Xiuying said.

"You have to say that sister-in-law is good, brother Chen is nothing." Zhou Fengxia added.

"Okay, the cables have been connected, what do you guys want to watch? In fact, these three TV series are all good. How about watching Huo Yuanjia first?"

"You have the final say on this matter." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Okay, then this one."

Zhou Fengxia turned on the TV and the video player, and then searched in the box containing the videotapes.

"Eh? Why is this thing colorful?"

Doudou was immediately attracted by the blue on the TV screen.

"Wait, there will be a little man soon."

Zhou Fengxia happily pushed the videotape in.

Seeing the image appear on the screen, Doudou's eyes widened.

"Ah..., ah..., ah..., after a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people are gradually waking up. Open your eyes and watch carefully, who is willing to admit that he is a captive..."

The familiar melody sounded, not to mention others, even Chen Tiezhu's thoughts were pulled in at once.

"This guy..., this guy..., this guy is really bright..."

Looking at the picture on the screen, He Jianguo was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He has also watched TV, but that is the signal received by the antenna, how can it be as clear as a videotape?

Not to mention that this is a color TV, the effect is so amazing, so awesome.

Hearing the movement inside, Lu Dan, who had scooped out the noodles, put the noodles on the dining table with a "bang", and then watched TV happily.

Who cares how you eat?

Watching TV is serious.
