Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After confirming the ownership of the TV ticket, Ning Xiaowei was very happy. She never expected that her family would soon own one of these legendary TV sets.

But this is only known to her, and the rest of the people at the table don't know what this TV is.

My grandfather is also an honest man. If you don’t understand something, just ask.

"Jungguk, what the hell is this TV? What is it used for? Is it for eating or using?"

“Hahaha!” Sun Zhengguo couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and praised with a smile, “Grandpa, you are really great.”

"This TV is just like a movie. You can watch it sitting in the house. I'll buy it for you at the weekend and you'll know it then."

After hearing Sun Zhengguo’s explanation, grandpa didn’t quite believe it, and grandma was even more confused.

"My dear grandson, grandma has never been to school, but you can't fool me. There is no way this room can accommodate a screen as big as the one used for movies."

At this time, Sun Zhengnan, who was sitting next to him eating, quickly gestured with his hands.

"Grandma, the TV is this big, and it doesn't need a screen. It's just like a radio. There's a switch that you turn on to play the image. It's not as complicated as you say."

"Hey! Zhengnan, from what you said, you have seen it? Come on, come on, tell grandpa about it, what on earth is it?"

“This…?” Sun Zhengnan touched his head embarrassedly.

"Grandpa, grandma, I saw it last time when I was shopping in a department store with Wei Hua. I don't understand it either, but it's extremely expensive. The smallest one costs four or five hundred yuan, and you need a special ticket."

"Ah! So expensive." Grandpa and grandma looked at each other and were shocked by the price.

But Sun Zhengnan seemed to be a little unsatisfied and added another sentence.

"The bigger ones are more expensive. You can't get them without a few hundred dollars."

After hearing the price, grandpa and grandma were no longer curious.

They knew that their eldest grandson was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn't spend it like this.

Sun Zhengguo certainly understood what the two old men meant, but he really didn't need that little bit of money, so he would buy it back when the time comes!

……

Late at night when everyone was asleep, a loud voice came from the dark room. Ning Xiaowei poked her head out from under the thick quilt, breathing heavily.

"No, no, no, you beast, what medicine did you take wrong? Why do you keep asking for it?"

Just as he finished speaking, another head popped out from under the quilt. Who else could it be but our Director Sun?

"Oh! You're still talking back. It seems that the force just now was not strong enough. You are talking quite spiritedly. Do you want to develop some more?"

"No, no, no, Master Sun, I'm wrong, isn't that okay? Let's practice next time, and stop here today..."

Listening to Ning Xiaowei's repeated pleas for mercy, Sun Zhengguo felt very satisfied.

Because that morning, his Tongbeiquan came naturally and without the use of any medicine, he broke through to the middle stage of Huajin naturally.

Although it is only a small step forward, there is not much improvement in other aspects.

But he didn't expect that their married life is even better now.

How to describe it? If I had to use an idiom, it would be indestructible.

The couple spent some time together, and Sun Zhengguo was thinking about how his grandparents were obviously very interested in the TV during dinner, but when they heard the price, they kept silent.

So he couldn't help but ask Ning Xiaowei, "Wife, are you still giving grandpa and grandma pocket money on time every month?"

Ning Xiaowei thought it was something serious and was enjoying the afterglow, so she answered without even thinking.

"Of course I will! How can I not give it to them? I will give them 20 yuan a month according to your instructions. We will also pay for their daily expenses and buy them clothes from time to time.

What's wrong? Do you think it's too little? Why don't we add another 20 yuan? We are not short of money anyway."

Sun Zhengguo knew that his wife had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly explained.

"Wife, don't think too much, that's not what I meant. Even if I give them a lot, it will be useless if they are reluctant to use it.

You see, during dinner, they are obviously very interested in the TV, but when they hear the price, they keep silent. I know they listen to you the most, so please help persuade them!"

"I would advise them. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. All old people are like this. They have been saving all their lives. It's hard to change suddenly. This is normal. You just need to get used to it slowly."

After saying that, Ning Xiaowei didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, her little hand inadvertently brushed across a certain place.

Let’s just assume that she is interested!

Mr. Sun filled in the blanks on his own and then quoted the classic quote from Journey to the West.

"Goblin, why don't you take a beating from me!!!"

Ning Xiaowei was naturally panicking at this moment. Even if she wanted to ask the Buddha for help, it was too late. She could only groan and bear it all...

. . . . . . . . . .

Two days later, in the office of the Minister of Machinery, Minister Li was looking through the report that Sun Zhengguo had just sent.

Sun Zhengguo, who was sitting opposite him, was not in a hurry either and was drinking tea leisurely.

After a long time, Minister Li put down the report, rubbed his eyes, and then said with a smile.

"Comrade Zhengguo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. To be honest, this report is too technical and I may not be able to understand it, but I believe in you, so just go for it! I'll take care of anything that happens."

"Thank you for your trust, and please rest assured, Minister Li, we will not fight a battle without confidence, and we will not let you down."

"You, you, ah! You're still you when you're serious, and you're still you when you're laughing. I really can't see through you." Minister Li smiled and tapped Sun Zhengguo with his hand.

"Minister Li, when I am serious, it means I am responsible for this matter. When I am joking, it means I am confident about this matter. Therefore, there is no contradiction between the two."

"Uh……?"

Minister Li felt that this made so much sense that he didn't know how to respond.

Afterwards, Minister Li signed the report, took out another document, and handed both copies to Sun Zhengguo.

"Comrade Zhengguo, this is Comrade Lianshan's commendation document. Please take a look at it first. If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can raise them in person."

"Okay, Minister Li."

As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo reached out to take the document, opened it and read it quickly.

After reading it, Sun Zhengguo smiled knowingly and showed no resistance.

Although the machine tool developed this time is ordinary, Chen Lianshan is the real credit.

The higher authorities were not stingy either. In addition to the outstanding individuals, there were also commendation certificates.

Of course, there are also some real improvements, such as the engineer level, which has been upgraded from the original level nine engineer to level eight engineer.

It can be said that all the rewards are sufficient, both face and substance are included.

"What do you think? Comrade Zhengguo, you have no objection, right?" Minister Li asked again.

"Minister Li, Chen Lianshan is my senior brother. I am so happy for him! How could I have any objection?

By the way, I would like to thank the organization and the department leaders for their care on his behalf. Thank you."

Minister Li felt relieved when he saw that Sun Zhengguo was truly sincere.

But it is also a headache, because Sun Zhengguo wants to improve so much that he makes a fuss all the time, but at his age, he can no longer advance.

What to do next?
