Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Along the way, Bang Geng held the TV tightly, fearing that it would fall.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Banggeng put the TV in Zhang Weiguo's home and couldn't wait to tell people, "My cousin Weiguo bought a TV. Do you know what a TV is? You can watch movies at home."

With the promotion of Banggeng, soon all the idle aunties in the whole yard rushed to the front yard. Even the deaf old lady who rarely went out was attracted to the front yard.

The third aunt asked first: "Weiguo, I heard from Banggeng that you bought something called 'TV Chicken' that can play movies at home? Is that true?"

Zhang Weiguo corrected with a smile: "Auntie, it's not a TV chicken, it's a TV."

"Yes, TV. Let us see how to watch movies on that TV."

At this time, an old lady also said: "Yes, Weiguo, we are all very curious."

Listening to everyone talking, Zhang Weiguo felt like he was in a chicken farm, with chickens chirping non-stop.

Finally, Zhang Weiguo couldn't stand it anymore, so he found a chair, stood on it and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Only after Zhang Weiguo shouted many times did everyone stop questioning.

"Everyone, listen to me. The TV can indeed play movies, but now you need to connect an antenna to watch it. Don't worry, I'll adjust the antenna right away."

The third aunt urged: "Weiguo, then you should adjust it quickly."

A neighbor also came: "Yes, Weiguo, hurry up and do it."

"Oh, here it comes again." Zhang Weiguo was almost numb. If he had known earlier, he would not have pretended to be so arrogant.

So Zhang Weiguo started to debug the TV.

"Banggeng, come here and hold up the antenna." Zhang Weiguo instructed Banggeng.

"I know, cousin Weiguo."

"Turn left a little."

"A little further to the right."

"Yes, yes, hold on and don't move."

Following Zhang Weiguo's command, images began to appear on the TV.

Although I could only receive one channel - Sijiucheng TV (the predecessor of CCTV), I didn't watch TV every day in those days. There were only two or three broadcasting slots a week. But it happened that a TV series called "A Bite of Vegetable Pancake" was being broadcast at that moment.

"Oh, there really is a picture."

"Yes, you see, the song playing seems to be 'A Bite of Vegetable Pancake'."

"Look, is that Li Xiaolan?"

It has to be said that entertainment in this era was indeed scarce. A 14-inch black and white TV, playing a TV series that would seem extremely boring to modern people, was something that people of this era could watch with great interest.

Suddenly, the picture turned into a snowflake.

"Weiguo, come and see how it became like this. It's not broken, is it? I didn't touch it." The third aunt spoke.

Zhang Weiguo looked at Banggeng and found that he had put down the antenna and was ready to watch TV, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie San, just look at Banggeng."

I saw that Banggeng had already put down the antenna and was going to watch TV.

Zhang Weiguo shouted at him, "Bang Geng, hurry up and raise the antenna. There's no picture at all."

Bang Geng said aggrievedly: "Uncle Weiguo, I want to see it too."

Zhang Weiguo coaxed Bang Geng, "You go hold me up first and I'll find someone to take your place."

Although Banggeng really wanted to watch TV, he continued to hold the antenna as Zhang Weiguo requested.

As the antenna was raised again, the TV picture returned to normal.

An old man said to Zhang Weiguo: "Hey, Weiguo, Weiguo has a picture."

Time always goes by so quickly when watching TV.

After the TV series ended, Zhang Weiguo gave a long explanation and everyone left reluctantly.

However, there was another person who looked at Zhang Weiguo with resentment, and that person was Bang Geng. It could be said that the longer the crowd looked at him, the longer Bang Geng was raised.

Bang Geng protested many times, but was fooled by Zhang Weiguo. Even his grandmother, who loved him the most, told him to just hold it up.

Zhang Weiguo finally couldn't stand Banggeng's resentful look anymore, so he comforted him, "Banggeng, next time you watch TV, your cousin will let you sit in the front row, and you won't have to hold up the antenna."

"Uncle Weiguo, you said it. You won't let me go through the same thing as today again, right?" Bang Geng looked at Zhang Weiguo with some suspicion.

"Don't worry, your uncle promises you." Zhang Weiguo felt like a wolf grandmother who was coaxing the innocent Little Red Riding Hood.

Wait until everyone gets home from get off work in the evening.

At Uncle Three's house, Aunt Three excitedly talked about her afternoon experience: "Boss, do you know? The thing called a TV that Zhang Weiguo bought can actually play movies. We watched it all afternoon today."

The third uncle asked, "Can we really show movies?"

"Yes, but they said they don't set it off every day. You can come and see it when it's set off again."

"That's great, I'll take a good look at it then."

At the uncle's house, an aunt was also expressing her admiration for Zhang Weiguo's newly bought TV: "Old Yi, you haven't seen the TV Zhang Weiguo bought today. It's amazing. How can such a small box show movies?"

Yi Zhonghai was more concerned about Zhang Weiguo being praised in the factory today: "Woman, what's this? The reward from the factory today is the biggest part. Let me tell you..."

At the same time, Sha Zhu came to Zhang Weiguo's house with a pot of good wine.

"Weiguo, you stole the show in the factory today. The whole factory is talking about you." Sha Zhu continued, "What on earth did you do to deserve a work quota?"

Of course Zhang Weiguo would not tell the truth, after all, some things need to be kept secret, so he said in a Versailles way: "I just made some small contributions to the factory."

Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Weiguo speechlessly and thought, "People say that..."

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore, or I'm afraid you'll piss me off to death. Come and try my good wine." Sha Zhu didn't ask anymore, but raised the wine in his hand.

"Okay, I happen to have some food at home."

"Then today I'll let you have a good taste of my cooking skills."

At the Jia family, Banggeng looked at Jia Zhang with a face full of grievance.

Jia Zhang asked, "Oh, my precious grandson, who bullied you?"

"Grandma, I didn't watch TV all afternoon. My cousin Weiguo and I bought it together, and I..." As he spoke, Banggeng's tears fell.

Jia Zhang felt a little embarrassed. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to be one of the people he asked to hold up.

"Don't worry, grandson. Next time, I'll ask your cousin to reserve a seat for you closest to the TV, okay?"

"Then grandma, you can't let me hold it next time."

"Okay, grandma promises."

After everyone left, Zhang Weiguo took the TV home.

Lying in bed at night, Zhang Weiguo thought.

"I already have a bicycle, a watch, and now I have a TV. I will buy a radio and a sewing machine later. Then I will have all the three major items, and I will also have a TV."

"Alas, it seems that all I need now is a warm bed."

"No, we need to ask Dad to go to the Lou family to propose marriage as soon as possible, and try to bring Silly Ezi back to warm the bed."
