Scholars in the courtyard

"Television tickets."

The voice rang in Yang Xiaotao's ears, and then a sense of surprise crawled onto his cheeks.

This had appeared in Yang Xiaotao's expectation, but it was just a thought.

After all, TVs at this time were definitely luxury goods.

Since the first domestic television was developed at the Jinmen Radio Factory, many television manufacturers have emerged in recent years.

It stands to reason that with the development over the years, a lot of TV sets should be produced.

But in fact, there are really not many TV sets produced in China.

Compared with the 1980s and 1990s, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as rare.

There are many reasons for this situation.

The most important thing is that the technology is not up to standard. TV sets are built, but soon the screen will go black, snowflakes will continue, or one line will turn into many lines. In short, domestic technology is immature.

Moreover, it is said that the first television was made by dismantling the Alliance's imitation. At that time, the researchers did not even know what a television was, so they thought they could learn more by dismantling the television.

As a result, looking at the pile of components inside the TV set also gave them a headache, because they didn't even know these components.

Under such circumstances, the TV produced cannot be said to be bad, but it will definitely have problems.

Furthermore, there is not such a big demand. Nowadays, people are thinking about how to fill their stomachs, and the need for spiritual entertainment can be satisfied by chatting in the courtyard. The short-sighted ones can just watch a movie.

Things like televisions don’t have many channels, so people don’t have much demand for them.

However, just because demand is low doesn’t mean people don’t like it.

These days, a radio can bring dozens or hundreds of people together to listen to music. If a TV is moved out, it will definitely become a household name in the surrounding area.

If this were to be left to future generations, it would be like owning a private jet.

And now, a TV ticket is just around the corner.

It belongs to you.

Taking the TV ticket from Lou Xiao'e, Yang Xiaotao hadn't warmed up yet when Yang Youning next to him took it over and said, "Let me take a look, let me take a look."

"This TV ticket looks like this. It's really nice."

Liu Huaimin, Xu Yuanshan and others also came over to take a closer look. The words on it were particularly eye-catching, "One 14-inch TV set in Sijiucheng".

This is a television.

After everyone finished sighing, Yang Xiaotao took the TV ticket back from Chen Gong and put it in his pocket, not forgetting to take a photo.

"It's true, Mr. Huang. If I had told him it was this thing, I wouldn't have let him go, so as not to envy the dead here."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's appearance, Yang Youning said sourly.

Liu Huaimin smiled at the side, "It's okay. If there is the first channel, there will be the second channel. We will have it sooner or later."

"Yes, there are more and more TV manufacturers now, and we will have them in the future too."

Xu Yuanshan and others nodded, numbing themselves.

Ding Xiangjun looked away and sighed.

"My second uncle works at the Jinmen Radio Factory. He said that the TV industry has been in a bad situation in recent years. Their main task is not to produce, but to study technology."

"There are countless TV shows released every year. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get."

After listening to this, several people felt better just now, but now they felt sore and numb again.

The skills competition ended successfully, at least for Yang Xiaotao.

After returning to the office and summarizing the situation of the conference with Liu Huaimin and others, Yang Xiaotao couldn't wait to go back and take stock of the harvest.

First of all, TV tickets are definitely the biggest prize.

You can tell this by looking at Lou Xiao'e's envious and resentful eyes from time to time.

In addition, there are blankets, pillow covers, mirrors, etc., just like everyone else.

But there are two more gray rectangular bars of soap.

Soap is also in short supply these days, and one person can only buy one piece per month with a ticket. This is why some people find it so troublesome to wash clothes in the yard, and it takes a whole day to wash them.

Then there is a supporting document for the TV ticket.

It is clearly written on it that this ticket is a reward for the winning worker in the skills competition. The person who awarded the ticket is naturally Yang Xiaotao who just wrote it, and the signature stamp is from the No. 1 Machinery Department.

Prove the source of the bill, so you don't have to worry about being suspected.

Looking at the TV ticket in his hand, Yang Xiaotao turned his wrist and looked at the time. It was four-thirty in the afternoon and asked casually, "What time does the Chengdong Supply and Marketing Cooperative close?"

Lou Xiao'e was lost in thought. When her family was so wealthy, they didn't even have a TV set, and there was nothing they had heard of.

She had only heard of it, but she had only seen it in newspaper photos.

But now, there is a TV ticket in front of me. Although it is definitely not cheap, the money is nothing compared to the cherishment of the ticket.

There are definitely many people in this factory who can afford a TV, but currently, there is only one person who can afford a TV ticket.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Lou Xiao'e suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Are you talking about the main store?"

"Yes, this thing is only available in large supply and marketing cooperatives."

"It seems to be six o'clock, but it gets dark early now, so it may be closed after five o'clock."

Lou Xiao'e knew why Yang Xiaotao asked this, she probably wanted to buy a TV.

"I think you can go tomorrow and save yourself a wasted trip."

"Tomorrow? People don't have a holiday on New Year's Day. I'll go take a look first, just as a way to explore."

With that said, Yang Xiaotao put the TV ticket in his pocket, then ran out with his bag.

Lou Xiao'e stood up and was about to follow him to have a look, but stopped after taking two steps.

Go by yourself, what the heck.

Biting her lip, she slowly sat down.

My heart went back and forth a thousand times, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Xiao'e!"

At this time, a female voice came from the door. Lou Xiao'e looked up and saw Liu Lixue standing aside heroically, "I am going to develop photos here. If you are free, come and help me."

"Lixue, I'm coming right away."

The jeep left two tracks on the ground, and as the sound faded away, it quickly drove towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was already dark, so Yang Xiaotao arrived at the right time. There were still a few people coming in and out at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yang Xiaotao parked the car directly at the door, jumped out of the car, and ran to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Comrade, comrade."

Looking at the saleswoman who was about to close the stall, Yang Xiaotao spoke quickly.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

Although the arrival at this time delayed her get off work a bit, the saleswoman saw that Yang Xiaotao was well-dressed, with a pen in his pocket, and the jeep parked outside undoubtedly showed that the young man in front of her was not a simple person.

As a salesperson who is one of the eight members, she naturally has her own 'pride', but she also has to share it with others.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to sit firmly in this ‘hot’ position.

"Hello comrade, I would like to ask, do we have a TV here?"

When Yang Xiaotao spoke, the saleswoman was shocked.

This person actually asked about the TV?

Oh my God, this is the first time in the past six months, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, that someone has asked me this question.

It's not that no one has asked before, but it's basically just for fun. Without tickets, what's the use of having money?

"Comrade, there are TV sets, but to buy a TV set, you need a TV ticket."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I have this."

As he spoke, he took out the neat TV tickets from his backpack.

The moment she took it out, the saleswoman's heart beat suddenly.

There really is.

"You, do you have a certificate?"

"Yes, here."

Yang Xiaotao handed over the certificate.

The saleswoman looked at it, then her face became excited, and her eyes looked again and again at Yang Xiaotao's face, as if she was confirming something.

Yang Xiaotao didn't feel bored either. She thought it was about the confirmation process. She could just watch it if she wanted to.

After a while, the saleswoman looked away, looked at the TV ticket and certificate again, and finally said, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, right? There is no problem with the ticket, but the TV is too expensive. I need to ask the store manager for permission before I can give it to you." you."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

As Yang Xiaotao said, the saleswoman quickly ran to the back door with the TV ticket and certificate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The entire supply and marketing cooperative was empty except for Yang Xiaotao.

"If I collect something into the space at this time, no one will notice."

Looking at the row of bicycles not far away and the radio on the counter, Yang Xiaotao thought evilly.

However, just thinking about it, this thing needs to be exposed to the light. If you don't know the origin, someone will report it in minutes.

In the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, the saleswoman told the store manager in front of her.

The store manager is a middle-aged woman, but she knows more than the saleswoman.

"The Comrade Yang Xiaotao you are talking about should be the one from the machinery factory who was mentioned in the newspaper. It is not surprising that he has this vote."

The saleswoman suddenly remembered something, and then her face fell again.

The group of them usually talked the most about those young heroes. Yang Xiaotao was naturally the target of their conversation.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao is already married.

"Stop thinking about it. Follow me to the warehouse and move the things out. Don't keep people waiting."

"Hey, okay."

While Yang Xiaotao was waiting with the supply and marketing cooperative, Shazhu hurried back outside the courtyard alley.

At noon, we made a table of noodles in the coal yard, but the factory and directors were well served, and the leftovers we brought back were also satisfying to the people in the same group.

After eating this, I will naturally feel grateful to Shazhu.

Silly Zhu wanted to leave early, but several people did not refuse.

He even took the initiative to take on Sha Zhu's job.

This allowed Shazhu to come back today.

Thinking that he could stay in the courtyard for one more night, Shazhu felt sweet in his heart.

You can do a lot of things this night.

Especially there is Qin Huairu in the yard, and of course, Qin Jingru.

Thinking of this, Shazhu speeded up and walked forward.

Just as he turned around the alley and prepared to take a look at the gate of the courtyard he hadn't seen for a long time, he found two figures standing together not far away.

Squinting his eyes, Shazhu instantly recognized from the plump figure that the woman was his Qin Huairu.

Beside Qin Huairu, a tall and thin figure was gradually approaching.

What makes Silly Zhu even more angry is that this man's hand has already reached for his former favorite.

At this time, Qin Huairu and Liu Guangqi were walking to the courtyard. The two seemed to be talking and laughing, but Qin Huairu's face was not pretty, and her smile when speaking was a bit forced.

Obviously, I was very unhappy about not receiving any money for this work.

The reason for going out early in the morning is not to save enough "capital" for future living.

But this is already the second time.

I can't always contribute for free. The elderly and children at home are still waiting for me.

Although Jia Zhang's behavior is not even an excuse, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a good daughter-in-law.

It's better now. There's no need to pretend that the family is having a hard time. Without income, life is really hard.

To say that the factory has not paid wages recently and wait until after New Year's Day is pure bullshit.

Do you really think I’ve never broken into a factory?

Does the factory dare to pay wages when they are due?

If you don't, just wait for the workers to block the door.

Liu Guangqi took all this seriously, and he had no choice. Recently, he couldn't contact the organization, and the funds didn't arrive on time. He still had to pay for his daily expenses, so how could he have any extra money for Qin Huairu?

Besides, I can be considered a contributor.

Just seeing Qin Huairu's profile, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but get closer, wanting to say something nice.

Feeling the touch from her buttocks, Qin Huairu frowned, looked at the approaching door, and reached out to slap it open.

Liu Guangqi was not discouraged and extended his hand.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a roar coming from behind.

This voice was so familiar to their ears, and then their expressions changed.

"You bitch, you dare to touch my woman."

At this moment, as the voice sounded, Shazhu's angry blow also arrived.

boom

Before Liu Guangqi could turn around, he felt an excruciating pain in his waist, and his whole body hit the wall uncontrollably.

boom

The moment his body came into contact with the wall, severe pain came from his back again, and he was kicked to the ground.

"You bitch, if you dare to reach out, I will let you act like a hooligan."

At this moment, Shazhu transformed into the God of War of the Siheyuan. Under Qin Huairu's horrified face, he kicked Liu Guangqi's vital parts hard.

Ah~~~

Suddenly, a miserable howl came from outside the courtyard gate.

Shocked everywhere.

Not far away, Xu Damao, who was driving his bicycle into the alley, heard the piercing cry and clamped his legs suddenly, as if he was thinking of some painful memories.
