Chapter 105 Group Watching TV
Yan Jiekuang was also filial, and he actually placed the TV in Yan Bugui and Yan's mother's room.
If it were Yan Jiecheng, he would definitely put the TV in his own room.
"The third child is still the most filial." Yan Bugui thought.
In this era, families with several sons generally valued the eldest son. Food, new clothes and so on were all given to the eldest son. The Yan family was no exception. Yan Bugui and Yan's mother originally valued Yan Jiecheng the most, but Yan Jiekuang suddenly became successful, which was unexpected.
Moreover, Yan Jiekuang was generous to his family and did not like to be stingy.
Just like now, a TV was put in Yan Bugui's room, which made Yan Bugui very satisfied.
In fact, Yan Jiekuang is not really interested in black and white television.
Next, Yan Bugui ran to watch TV.
Not long after, Yan Bugui came with a clean towel to wipe the TV, and no one laughed at him.
Anyone who has a black and white TV will treasure it, and it is normal to wipe it with a dry towel every day.
Yan's mother went to cook.
When Yan Bugui finished cleaning the TV, Yan Jiecheng also got off work.
Then, He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian and others returned to the compound after get off work.
When they learned that the Yan family had a black and white TV, they were all envious.
"Old Yan, your life is getting more and more promising. Great! You even have a black and white TV." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.
“No, no.” Yan Bugui couldn’t stop laughing.
Yi Zhonghai was also jealous. Yan Bugui had three sons and one daughter. The third son, Yan Jiekuang, was so successful, but Yi Zhonghai had no children at all. He would be a childless man for the rest of his life.
Although Yi Zhonghai adopted Xiao Huaihua, she is not his biological child after all.
However, Yi Zhonghai can only rely on Xiao Huaihua for his retirement.
"Uncle, don't be stingy! Turn on the TV and let us all see it." said Sha Zhu.
"Don't you want to pay the electricity bill? It also wears out the TV and shortens its life." Yan Bugui said unhappily.
Bicycles wear out when used, and so do sewing machines, so Yan Bugui believes that televisions will also wear out when turned on.
Besides, why should you let others watch your TV? You also have to pay for the electricity!
"My old Yan is right." Yan's mother was the first to support Yan Bugui.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other. It was a familiar feeling.
Because of Yan Jiekuang, Yan Bugui also changed a little, but he still likes to calculate.
"Except for me, my wife, and my third child, anyone else who wants to watch TV has to pay one cent per hour," said Yan Bugui.
"One cent for watching TV for an hour? You are so stingy, uncle." Sha Zhu laughed.
"You're so stupid, do you think it's a loss to watch TV for an hour for only one cent?" Yan Bugui said unhappily.
"You can't say my old man is stingy. Others have TVs, but I want to watch TV for an hour for one cent and they won't agree!" said Yan's mother. "Dad, Yu Li and I also need money to watch TV?" Yan Jiecheng looked depressed.
Yu Li also looked unhappy.
"I, an old lady, give you two cents every day, and Xiaodang and I watch TV for an hour every day." said the deaf old lady.
"What are you saying, old lady? How can I take your money? You can watch whatever you want on TV in my house." Yan Jiekuang said quickly.
Yan Bugui and Yan's mother also said that the old lady could come to the Yan's house to watch TV at any time.
However, the TV consumes a lot of electricity, so the Yan family’s electricity bill will increase.
After all, it was Yan Jiekuang who brought the TV home, so Yan Jiekuang could also speak.
First, it doesn’t cost money for the family to watch TV, and second, it doesn’t cost money for the deaf old lady either, and she can bring people to watch.
It is impossible for the old lady to bring a large group of people. She will probably only bring one or two people.
As for other people, just do as Yan Bugui said, one cent per hour.
Even if you borrow a bicycle, it costs more than a penny per hour.
Yan's mother also said that the TV should not be turned on for too long, no more than six hours a day.
"Here's ten cents, I can watch it for ten hours." He Daqing took out ten cents and gave it to Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui took out a small notebook and a pen and wrote down that He Daqing had ten hours.
Sha Zhu also took out ten cents, and he and He Yushui each worked for five hours.
Then, Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi also spent five hours each.
Yan's mother was responsible for collecting the money, and Yan Bugui recorded how many hours each person could watch.
I got more than one dollar in one go, it was a big profit.
If everyone watches TV separately, one person finishes watching and then another one finishes watching, the electricity bill will be high, and one more dollar is not enough, but the profit will be less. However, in this era of lack of entertainment, the attraction of TV is too great.
"You are the nicest person, third brother. Unlike dad and mom, who are so stingy." Yan Jiecheng said to Yan Jiekuang.
Yan Jiekuang smiled but was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, and Yan Jiecheng was not much better.
If it was Yan Jiecheng's TV, it would not be free for people to watch.
At the beginning, Yan Jiekuang helped Yan Jiecheng to tinker with a bicycle, and Yan Jiecheng still treasures it.
If he bought a bicycle directly, Yan Jiecheng would treasure it even more, and maybe even his wife Yu Li would not be allowed to touch it…
And a TV is much more expensive than a bicycle.
When it was time for dinner, Yan Jiekuang was also speechless.
Everyone was watching TV with their bowls in hand. Some sat on small stools, but more were standing or squatting.
There is a TV series playing on TV, starting at 7pm every day. Each episode is more than half an hour long, with two episodes a day, which takes about two hours, because you have to wait a long time after one episode ends before the second episode starts.
It's just a war film. A farmhand who has been oppressed sees the mountains and rivers broken, and resolutely joins the army. He is so scared when he first goes to the battlefield that he wets his pants. He gradually grows into a brave soldier, and finally sacrifices himself for the cause of revolution. The story is just like this, but it is still ups and downs. Although there are no special effects, it is very real.
Watching TV, everyone was filled with passion and cherished the memory of the martyrs of the older generation.
The deaf old lady cried even more.
There are several martyrs in the deaf old lady's family. Her husband, son, and younger brother all died for the country. They lived a great life and died gloriously.
Many important people respect deaf old ladies, and there is a reason for this.
Some of today's generals used to go to war wearing cloth shoes made by old ladies.
"It's much worse than in the movies." Xu Damao curled his lips and muttered.
Apart from Yan Jiekuang, only the deaf old lady heard Xu Damao's mumbling and hit him with her cane.
"The old lady is not deaf, her hearing is very good." Xu Damao thought.
It started at 7pm and the TV was turned off at 10:30pm.
When the TV was turned off, everyone went home.
Although the TV screen is not as big as the movie screen, everyone still likes TV.
"Mom, when can our family have a TV?" Lai Fu asked Chunhua.
"Don't think about it. It's probably impossible in this lifetime," Chunhua said.
Silly Zhu family.
He Daqing took a shower and went to sleep, but Sha Zhu and He Yushui, brother and sister, were still talking.
"Brother, the TV is so nice. It would be nice if we could have one at home," said He Yushui.
"Already dreaming before falling asleep?" Sha Zhu laughed.
