Chapter 208 The First Television

"Don't worry about them, just live our own lives." Li Shengli had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of those families in the Intermediate Court. Given Banggeng's stubborn personality, if Shazhu and Qin Huairu wanted to get married, he would have to go to work for Yan Jiecheng.

"Okay." Han Qiuyun nodded and agreed to Li Shengli. She didn't talk much to those people in this yard.

If he can't make money, there's no use for Shazhu, the old workhorse.

After coming back, this Banggen ignored Shazhu as usual. It seems that they still have a lot of work to do.

"Dad, when are we going to buy a TV?" Li Shengli was talking to Han Qiuyun when his daughter ran into the house and said to Li Shengli.

"What's wrong? Why are you thinking about watching TV?" Li Shengli was a little surprised. His own child was not the kind of person who would compare with others.

Li Chengqin pouted and kept silent. Li Shengli looked at his son.

"The people in the next yard bought a TV, and Xiaoqin was watching TV over there just now." Li Chengzhi glanced at his sister quietly and said carefully.

"Xiao Qin." Li Shengli's face immediately became stern. This kind of competitive spirit is really unacceptable.

"Dad." Li Chengqin felt a little aggrieved when he saw Li Shengli looking at him with a stern face.

"Xiaoqin, come here." Li Shengli softened his heart and beckoned Li Chengqin to come to him. Li Shengli hugged Li Chengqin and began to educate her. This kind of blind comparison is very dangerous.

After being educated by Li Shengli, Li Chengqin no longer asked to buy a TV, but she still felt a little aggrieved.

"Shengli, Xiaoqin can't do this." Han Qiuyun was a little worried. Although her daughter could make her mad at her sometimes, which mother wouldn't feel distressed when her daughter was unhappy?

"It's okay, it will be fine in two days. Besides, Xiaoqin is right. It's not like our family is without means. You see, I make a lot of extra money every month. We have saved money for such a long time, so a TV should be more than enough." Li Shengli thought about it and decided that it was time to buy a TV. It was already this time and the production capacity of the TV had increased.

"Just spoil her." Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes at Li Shengli.

"Didn't I just educate her?" Li Shengli smiled.

"Shengli, this TV is hard to buy. I heard that once it is put on the shelves, it will be sold out in no time." Han Qiuyun has seen these people scrambling for TVs. As soon as the TVs were unloaded, those who heard the news gathered around like bees smelling honey.

"Well, don't be afraid, wife. I just need to tell Director Ma of the supply and marketing cooperative, and when the goods arrive, ask him to help reserve one for us." Li Shengli was not panicked at all. Do you really think that Li Shengli has done nothing in these years? Li Shengli is still maintaining some of the relationships he has had in normal times.

Children have bad memories. Li Chengqin forgot about buying the TV within two days. After being educated by Li Shengli, Li Chengqin also realized that it was not good for him to have such a strong competitive mentality.

three days later.

"Wife, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative." Li Shengli looked at Li Chengqin who was running and playing outside behind Li Chengzhi and whispered to Han Qiuyun.

"Okay, go ahead." Han Qiuyun also nodded softly.

Li Shengli is preparing to give his son and daughter a surprise.

After talking to Han Qiuyun, Li Shengli rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative and found Director Ma.

"Director Ma, did you keep the TV that I asked you to keep for me?"

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago." Director Ma greeted Li Shengli enthusiastically. Li Shengli had helped Director Ma with a small favor before, and the two became familiar with each other after a few interactions.

"Thanks, Director Ma." Li Shengli took out the money and tickets and tied the 12-inch BJ brand TV that Director Ma had left for him to the back of the bike. Then he said hello to Director Ma and rode his bike towards the courtyard.

Along the way, pedestrians on the road couldn't help but look at the TV in the back seat of Li Shengli's car with envy.

Li Shengli also showed a proud look along the way. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the TV was first seen by Yan Bugui.

"Hey, Shengli, did you buy a TV?" Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw the box in the back seat of Li Shengli's car.

"Yes, Teacher Yan, these are good conditions." Li Shengli felt a little proud but did not show it. To be honest, he had seen many large color TVs of dozens of inches in later generations, and this small 12-inch black and white TV could not cause Li Shengli to have greater psychological fluctuations.

"I heard there are 14-inch color TVs, but unfortunately people like us can't see them." Li Shengli sighed. Color TVs are rare commodities nowadays, and ordinary people can't buy them even if they have money and tickets.

"This is not bad." Yan Bugui didn't think about the color TV. For him, this black and white TV was already amazing.

"Shengli, this is a twelve-inch one." Yan Bugui looked at the box that contained the TV carefully, wishing he could stick his eyes into it.

"Yes, Teacher Yan." Li Shengli nodded, and his proud mood also subsided.

"This must be a lot of money." Yan Bugui looked left and right, and occasionally touched it like a pervert.

"Four hundred and twenty yuan." Li Shengli didn't care much. He had earned a lot of extra money over the years.

"Four hundred and twenty yuan!" Yan Bugui's eyes widened. "Shengli, you are really willing to spend it."

"Watching TV, it's hurtful to the eyes if the screen is too small. Teacher Yan, I won't talk to you anymore, Xiaoqin will be back soon, and I want to give her a surprise." Li Shengli looked at the time. It was getting late, so he ended the chat with Yan Bugui.

Li Shengli returned to the courtyard with the TV. He first installed the antenna on the open space next to the house, and then turned on the TV to prepare for debugging.

Nowadays, you need to set up a receiving antenna to watch TV.

Li Shengli powered on the TV, plugged the antenna connector into the connector on the back of the TV, turned on the TV, and began to turn the wires outside the house.

It took Li Shengli a lot of effort to install the TV.

Yan Bugui watched Li Shengli adjusting the antenna until the noisy snow-like sound stopped coming from the TV. Then he went close to the TV and looked at it carefully.

"What do you think, Teacher Yan, why don't you buy one?" Li Shengli said jokingly with a smile. Li Shengli knew that Yan Bugui had saved a lot of money since his children moved out.

"Look again, look again." Yan Bugui stared at the TV and said with some excitement.

"Dad, I'm back." Just then, Li Chengqin's voice came from outside.

Li Shengli walked out quickly. Li Chengqin, who was carrying a schoolbag and had pigtails, saw Li Shengli, grabbed the straps of the schoolbag with both hands and quickly jumped into Li Shengli's arms.

"Is Xiaoqin well behaved in school?" Li Shengli smiled and picked up his daughter.

"Xiaoqin is so good." Li Chengqin hugged Li Shengli's neck and said coquettishly.

"Really? Then Dad will reward Xiaoqin." Li Shengli looked surprised.

"What's the reward?" Li Chengqin blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Shengli.

"Listen." Li Shengli motioned to Li Chengqin to listen to what sound there was.

"TV!" Li Chengqin's eyes widened and she shouted in surprise. Then she got off Li Shengli and ran into the room.
