Break out of the courtyard

During lunch, Zhang Heping learned from his mother Ma Xiuzhen that his eldest cousin Ma Lili had signed a 60-dollar order for shirts and skirts brought to the Canton Fair.

This amount of money is very small in Zhang Heping's eyes, but in the face of the unit price of 3 magnesium yuan and the profit of 1 magnesium yuan, an order of 20 pieces is already a big order!

After get off work in the evening, when my eldest cousin Ma Lili came to visit Courtyard No. 8, she was very depressed when she talked about the fact that their second garment factory could not keep up with the production and was forced to order 12 pieces.

"The foreign businessman was too urgent and designated delivery on Hong Kong Island on May 5th. Even one more day would not work!" Ma Lili was very dissatisfied.

"Have you ever thought that after she gets the clothes and skirts you designed, she will have to spend time transporting them, selling them to major stores, and waiting for customers to buy them." Zhang Heping said seriously:

"Once any link is delayed and those clothes and skirts are not sold this summer, who will bear the loss? Can you help her bear the loss?"

"Think about the past, how did you feel when the clothes and skirts you made were packed in boxes and could not be sold?"

Ma Lili was a little embarrassed at being told that, so she said oh and ran to the next door, No. 8 Courtyard, to clean up.

In fact, she had something depressing that she didn't tell Zhang Heping. Ever since she signed the export order and was praised by the factory leaders at a meeting, many workshop workers were dissatisfied with her.

The honor belongs to Ma Lili, and the achievements belong to the factory leaders. The workers who work overtime do not get any benefits at all. They only know how to shout slogans and let everyone contribute! Dedication!

Fortunately, she is now transferred to the technical department as a designer, and does not have to meet the workshop workers who work overtime every day. Only when eating in the cafeteria at noon, she will hear the gossips of the workshop workers, as well as the sarcastic remarks deliberately loudly said to her.

Zhang Heping followed and took a look. Courtyard No. 8 was slightly larger, with a main room, east and west wing rooms, and a side room with an extra attic.

As policies have improved, houses in the capital have become more affordable.

"This yard hasn't been inspected for a long time. I'm going to find someone from the construction team to come and take a look." Zhang Heping said and left the No. 8 yard, completely ignoring the embarrassment on Chen Liqin and Ma Lili's faces.

My mother, Ma Xiuzhen, said that it cost 8 yuan to replace courtyard No. 1600.

Zhou Laoer was stepped on by his wife and immediately said: "We won't move, it's spacious over there!"

After all, it costs money to run the second and third eldest children of the Zhou family back to the city.

Director Qi didn't mention asking Zhang Heping to help, and Zhang Heping didn't ask shyly, it was just a tacit understanding.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to transfer the two brothers and sisters from Majiatun back to work in the textile factory in the city.

Not long after, Chen Liqin came back with a helpless look, "Heping, I will send you the money to repair the house tomorrow."

This little money is nothing to the Zhang family, but the Zhou family probably has little savings after paying so much money.

When the two families were eating noodles together, Ma Xiuzhen gave Chen Liqin an idea and asked Mr. Zhou and his wife to move to the east wing of the front yard of No. 95. Chen Liqin would live in the left wing, and the third daughter, Zhou Chengchen, would live in the concierge. Only Mr. Zhou and his wife would live there. Ma Lili took her two children to live in Courtyard No. 8.

"Master Yan, can the price be lower?" Chen Liqin chased after him.

In this age of scarcity of food and clothing, textiles are indeed easier to purchase by units and factories than bamboo weaving.

The beams were rotten and could collapse at any time. Coupled with the two previous earthquake experiences, Chen Liqin did not dare to save money on repairs and just wanted to negotiate a lower price.

"No! This is the housewarming gift money I brought with me. On the day you move in for a hot pot meal, just don't ask me for gift money again." Zhang Heping smiled and called the Zhou family into Courtyard No. 7.

Ma Xiuzhen still wanted to speak, but Zhang Heping glanced at her and gave up temporarily.

It happened to be after get off work time that Director Qi came over to check in and said that he had contacted a textile factory and would no longer make bamboo weaving.

Afterwards, he followed Zhang Heping to the No. 6 and No. 7 courtyards, collected 120 yuan from Zhang Heping, and left.

Why do you care so much about other people’s family affairs?

Mr. Yan, the construction team leader, came with a few apprentices to take a look. He pointed out a dozen places with rotten beams in No. 8 Courtyard and quoted Chen Liqin and the others a contract price of 80 yuan for labor and materials.

Zhang Heping saw Chen Liqin's stunned expression and frowned: "Mom, it's not like you don't know who lives in No. 95. If you want to move, just move here to avoid being plotted by those people."

"I came back from the south this time and found that the drought along the way was very serious. Everyone should be mentally prepared!"

Zhang Heping's words successfully diverted everyone's attention. They all talked about the drought news they had heard recently, compared it with the drought in the past three years, and finally came to the conclusion to stock up on food!

The next day, the construction team came over and inspected No. 6 and No. 7 yards first. The wood for No. 8 yard had not yet arrived.

After Zhang Heping returned to school, he asked about his graduation this year. As a result, there was no instruction from his superiors, so he could only continue to hang around in school.

After lunch that day, when her eldest cousin Ma Lili came over to clean up Courtyard No. 8, she gave Zhang Heping a TV ticket, saying it was a reward from the garment factory.

Zhang Heping was not polite to her. After collecting the ticket, he skipped class and went to an electrical appliance store in Qianmen.

Last year, a batch of black-and-white TVs from Eastern Europe were imported, but the quality was not good and the power transformers were prone to breakage. As a result, many people without tickets liked to squat in front of electrical appliance stores to pick up leaks.

Zhang Heping also came here to hang out for a long time before, but unfortunately he was unlucky and didn't meet the right person.

He came here today instead of going to the department store because ordinary antennas and some electronic components are sold here.

Zhang Heping chose a 12-inch CRT black and white TV produced in the capital, commonly known as a big-ass TV, with an iron back cover. It cost 430 yuan and a TV ticket.

Then, he spent another 20 yuan and 5 industrial coupons to buy 5 sets of antennas and some electronic components, planning to go back and make a Yagi antenna, which has a stronger gain effect than a fishbone antenna.

As for the closed route, it seems that it is not too necessary.

In fact, he wanted to get the satellite pot lid, but he was afraid of being regarded as a spy, so he didn't commit suicide.

After a busy afternoon, Zhang Heping finally decided to put the antenna on the gate tower; firstly, it would make it easier to go upstairs to adjust the angle of the antenna; secondly, it would be convenient for grounding wires to avoid drought and lightning.

At 19:1 that evening, in the east door room where Zhang Heping slept, the sound of CCTV-'s "News Network" rang out.

The next day, the black-and-white TV was placed on the table outside the window of the east gate room for people nearby, both familiar and unknown, to watch.

Mainly because there were too many people knocking on the door and strangers listening at the window last night, which was annoying!

You said Zhang Heping didn’t know them?

However, they knew Zhang Heping and his father Zhang Bing, and they also knew that Ma Xiuzhen was a clerk at the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office.

If such a famous family bought a TV and didn't show it to the neighbors, their reputation would be ruined on the street.

Therefore, I had to put it outside to prevent them from entering the courtyard to eat melon seeds.

Fortunately, without the three trees in front of the door, the dam is spacious enough.

It's a pity that all the wild flowers in the flower garden were trampled.

Having said that, the quality of this domestic TV is still very good!

It has been more than half a month since I bought it, and I have been working on it from morning to night every day, and I have persisted.

As a result, the business of the veteran shoe repair stall next to the TV has improved a lot.

Late Thursday night on June 1978, 6, a large group of young people were still waiting at the door of Zhang's house, playing cards and bragging.

Zhang Heping watched the Peking Opera on TV, nibbling the melon seeds that others paid homage to, and asked again: "Are you sure the Argentina World Cup football match will be broadcast live tonight?"

"Brother Heping, I swear!" In the crowd, a young man in a white shirt raised his hand and said: "My classmate's third aunt's nephew's daughter-in-law's mother is a staff member of CCTV, and she guarantees that it will be broadcast live."

A young man added: "This afternoon, there was talk about the live broadcast on TV. It's true!"

In these days, CCTV had little funding, the programs it broadcast were irregular, and the program list was inconsistent!

When the time came to 2:0 on the 1nd, CCTV- did not change the mosaic, and was still playing programs. That meant that the World Cup was really broadcast live. This made Zhang Heping a lot happy, and the wait was not in vain.
