Chapter 104 Black and white TV!
The big boss smiled and nodded.
At this point, it doesn’t matter if Yang Dawei and Zhu Mancang know about it.
"Xiao Yan, how did you predict the earthquake?" Zhu Mancang asked curiously.
Yan Jiekuang just talked about the earthquake clouds and the restlessness of many animals in the capital.
You may not believe in earthquake clouds, but the fact that many animals want to escape from the capital is a big problem.
"Hearing what Xiao Yan said, it seems very strange. How come foreign countries have never predicted earthquakes?" Yang Dawei was a little puzzled.
Earthquake clouds can be seen by looking up, and it should be easy to see animals getting restless in the vegetable market. Logically speaking, it doesn't seem difficult to predict earthquakes. Yan Jiekuang smiled in his heart. If he didn't have the good fortune of Qinglian, it would be difficult for him to predict earthquakes.
"Xiao Yan has made great contributions to the country this time." said the leader.
Next, the big boss talked about the reward given to Yan Jiekuang.
Thanks to Yan Jiekuang, the earthquake reduced casualties by thousands and saved national property losses by tens of millions. He must be rewarded.
Yan Jiekuang was also very curious about what reward the country would give him.
A banner? A few hundred dollars?
"One hundred kilograms of meat coupons, fine grain coupons, oil coupons, etc. In addition, there is also a black and white TV." The leader said to Yan Jiekuang.
The first black-and-white TV in China was manufactured a few years ago. If nothing unexpected happens, the first color TV will be available in a few years.
Even a black and white TV is still very high-end nowadays and much more expensive than a three-wheeler.
The three turns and one ring combined are barely comparable to a black and white TV.
There is still a shortage of food nowadays, and the country can reward Yan Jiekuang with a lot of tickets, which is much better than giving him money directly.
You can buy things if you have a ticket but no money, but it will be difficult to buy things if you have money but no ticket.
What surprised Yan Jiekuang even more was the black and white TV.
Now, Yan Jiekuang has a bicycle, which he made himself, and a watch, which he bought.
As for the sewing machine and radio, Yan Jiekuang was not interested.
As for a black and white TV, Yan Jiekuang simply couldn't think of it, and had planned to consider getting one in a few years. Yang Dawei and Zhu Mancang looked at Yan Jiekuang with envy.
Even the factory director Yang Dawei didn't have a black-and-white TV.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jiekuang left work early.
Sitting in the leader’s Red Flag car, we returned to the courtyard.
The big boss's secretary helped Yan Jiekuang carry a cardboard box, which contained a black and white TV.
"I can do it by myself." After carrying the TV out of the car, Yan Jiekuang could do it by himself. When Yan Jiekuang walked into the courtyard alone holding the TV, the two leaders left.
Some people in the compound also saw it.
Nowadays, people in the compound were not too surprised to see Yan Jiekuang coming back in a car.
However, seeing Yan Jiekuang holding a large cardboard box, I couldn't help but feel curious.
There were a few children in the front yard, as well as a few old men and women, and they all saw Yan Jiekuang holding a large cardboard box.
"Yan Laosan, what is this?" an old lady asked curiously.
Yan's mother, who was sewing shoe soles at the door, also ran over.
"A black and white TV." Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.
When they heard what Yan Jiekuang said, both the old and the children widened their eyes.
The next thing was to take a deep breath.
"TV? It's actually a TV."
"This is a rare item. The three turns and one ring combined are not as good as a black and white TV!"
"Only the Hardware Building sells black and white TVs. I heard they cost seven or eight hundred dollars."
"I won't talk about the money, the point is that TV tickets are hard to come by."
"The steel mill gets 10 or 8 bicycle tickets a year, but not a single TV ticket."
Yan's mother couldn't believe it either. She knew Yan Jiekuang was capable, but she didn't expect Yan Jiekuang to bring home a black-and-white TV. "Third brother, where did you get this TV?" Yan's mother asked.
"I predicted the earthquake and helped reduce the country's losses. This is a reward from the state, so don't worry!" said Yan Jiekuang.
When everyone heard Yan Jiekuang say this, they believed him completely, and looked at the big cardboard box that Yan Jiekuang was holding with envy. Yan's mother was so happy that she could have a TV at home.
When she thought about having a TV to watch from today on, Yan's mother couldn't stop smiling.
"The TV must be heavy! Don't get tired, mom will help you." Yan's mother helped put the TV at home.
"Be gentle." Seeing Yan Jiekuang casually put it on the ground, Yan's mother was worried that the TV would be bumped.
At this time, Yu Li, who heard the news, also came to watch TV with little Yan Fang in her arms.
Even the deaf old lady in the backyard came.
A black and white TV caused quite a stir in this courtyard.
When Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others get off work, the compound will definitely be more lively.
Yan Jiekuang didn't care about others watching, he opened the carton himself.
As the cardboard box was opened, everyone saw the black and white TV.
In Yan Jiekuang's view, it is just an antique, but in the eyes of others it is a novelty.
Plug in the power and adjust the channels, this black and white TV is not complicated.
Soon, there was a picture on the TV.
When the picture appeared on TV, everyone who was watching it exclaimed.
"There's a picture."
“It’s like watching a movie.”
"This is good stuff."
……
Yan Bugui worked in a newspaper office as a clerk. The work was easy and the salary was decent.
Compared with the workers in the steel mill, Yan Bugui can get off work earlier.
After work, Yan Bugui returned to the courtyard and was confused.
I saw a large group of people at Yan's house.
"What's going on?" Yan Bugui looked puzzled.
When Yan Bugui arrived at the door of his house, he heard Yan Jiedi say, "Mom, I want to watch TV."
"The TV should also take a break. It has been on for an hour." said Yan's mother.
After hearing what his daughter and wife said, Yan Bugui was puzzled.
Yan Bugui suspected that he had heard it wrong. TV?
A black and white TV? That's more expensive than a three-wheeler.
Although the Yan family's conditions were not bad, if they had tickets, they could have collected three turns and one ring, but Yan Bugui had never thought of buying a black-and-white TV. "Old Yan, you're back." Aunt Yi greeted.
"Where is my home?"
"Your third child is amazing. He brought home a black and white TV today." Aunt Yi looked envious.
"My third child brought home a TV?" Yan Bugui couldn't believe it.
But this large group of people were all at Yan's house, and some of them were talking, all of them talking about the TV.
After squeezing through the two middle-aged ladies at the door and entering the house, Yan Bugui saw that there was a new black-and-white TV in the house.
It wasn’t the first time that Yan Bugui had seen a TV, but now that he had one at home, it seemed like a dream and it was unreal to him.
So Yan Bugui pinched himself.
It hurts, it's all real.
Seeing that Yan Jiekuang was also there, Yan Bugui quickly pulled Yan Jiekuang aside and started asking questions.
"Old Three, where did you get a TV?"
“The country awarded me this.”
"award? "
"I predicted the earthquake and helped the country reduce losses, so I will be rewarded with a TV."
After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Yan Bugui smiled happily.
Since it is a national award, there is no problem at all.
