Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Xiao Li, why are you here?"

The moment they saw Li Xiangnan, both Cui Xingjian who came forward to greet him and Ma Yingsun Jie and others behind him were a little dazed, and their eyes were constantly looking at Wang Defa.

"Defa has been acting sneaky lately. I thought he was doing something bad behind my back!"

Li Xiangnan kicked the bicycle kickstand down and locked it, then took out a cigarette and gave it to Cui Xingjian who was walking over. He was surprised to see that the guys behind him wanted to get off and seemed reluctant to leave.

He looked up at the sign of the state-owned store, and then at the long line in front of the store. Ma Ying and a few others were standing at the front. He had some guesses in his mind and asked, "Lao Cui, where are the people in line?"

"Yes, queue up!" Cui Xingjian took the cigarette and smiled naively.

"What are you buying?"

"Buy..." When asked by Li Xiangnan, Cui Xingjian didn't know how to answer. He just glanced at the fat man silently.

"Buy a TV! Yanjing brand black and white TV!"

Wang Defa stepped forward and realized that he had no choice but to confess everything to Li Xiangnan.

"Buy a TV?"

Or a Yanjing brand TV?

Hearing this, Li Xiangnan was really shocked.

He understands this era and naturally knows what a TV means now!

In 58, my country's first television set was born in the Tianjin Radio Factory. "China's First Screen" swept an audio-visual storm in the land of Dragon Country!

But after twenty years of development, expensive televisions are no longer affordable for ordinary families.

In addition, the production of televisions has been affected by various factors in recent years and has not been high until last year when it was slightly increased.

But it is still a "luxury product" and hard currency!

TV tickets are hard to come by!

Even if you have tickets, the price of 430 to 450 yuan is prohibitive for many families!

You know, 400 yuan, even if an ordinary working-class family can earn yuan a month, they have to save it for a year or two without eating or drinking!

The prices at that time were very different from those in later generations, and the purchasing power was quite high!

400 yuan is equivalent to yuan in later generations!

These four hundred dollars are worth so much!

Can Wang Pangzi, who has only been working for a few years, afford it?

Now Li Xiangnan finally knew why this fat guy sneaked out every day without telling him!

It turns out that they are here to queue up!

This TV is indeed rare, but it is very popular in the market and is all the rage. There must be people who meet the requirements and want to buy it!

So some people come here to queue up before dawn!

The supply of televisions is already limited, and only a few can be supplied to the market in a month!

In other words, whoever is at the front of the line will be able to exchange the money and ticket for a TV sooner!

It’s a hot commodity, who wouldn’t want to rush to grab it?

But the question is, where did Defa get the money? It's fine if he just wants to buy a TV, but what are Section Chief Cui, Section Chief Ma, Section Chief Sun, Yang Weidong and Tao Zhengtie doing here?

After thinking for a while, Li Xiangnan guessed a possibility and grinned, "You guys are really good at keeping up with the fashion. You all want to do this!"

"..." Cui Xingjian curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this and looked at Wang Defa.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Xiangnan thought he guessed right.

He smiled, looked at Ma Yingsunjie and others standing on the steps, and nodded.

Section Chief Ma had talked to the other party and knew that the family conditions were pretty good.

After working for so many years, buying a TV shouldn't be a problem.

This Section Chief Sun Jie has better conditions than Ma Ying.

As the only son in the family, and having married a woman from the Wen family like Wen Li, it should be easy for him to buy a TV!

As for Tao Zhengtie and Yang Weidong, that was a bit unexpected.

However, Li Xiangnan did not find it too surprising. He could accept young people following fashion and trends.

It would be fine for the two of them to ask their families for money and live frugally.

Those who can stand here in the queue at least have their families’ consent.

In a flash, Li Xiangnan made a rough analysis of the family background and choices of the people in the queue, then turned around and pulled Cui Xingjian down a step.

"Lao Cui, is it urgent today? What time does this door open? Do you have enough money? If not, I will make a phone call and ask someone to send money over."

"Xiao Li, this..."

Hearing him say this, Cui Xingjian was really touched, knowing that Xiao Li had misunderstood and thought that the TV was bought for him.

"Cui'er, hurry up and line up, otherwise someone will take your seat later!" Wang Defa noticed his embarrassment and rushed over to interrupt him, urging him to hurry up with a blink of his eyes.

"Oh! Xiao Li, we'll talk later!" Cui Xingjian agreed and quickly ran up the stairs.

"You fat guy!" Li Xiangnan smiled and said earnestly, "You are a bachelor, why do you want to buy a TV? It's better to save money for your wife! There are many things to spend at home, why do you have to buy this thing first? If you save this money and collect it together, it will be enough to buy a whole three-turn one-ring!"

Wang Defa looked at him and knew that Xiao Li must have misunderstood.

But he was too lazy to explain at the moment and just wanted to get the TV first!

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Isn't it okay for me to just follow the trend? Once I buy this TV, I won't have to worry about my wife anymore! What girl wouldn't rush to me for a blind date after seeing that I have a TV? Hehe!"

"That's true!"

This was a rough but reasonable statement. Li Xiangnan smiled and hurriedly urged him, "Then hurry up and get in line! Do you want me to help you?"

Wang Defa shook his head, glanced at the line, and said unhappily, "We're late today! It's useless to queue!"

Li Xiangnan looked back and asked, "How many times have you been here? I see you are quite experienced!"

The fat man waved his hands and said speechlessly, "Don't mention it! Lao Cui and I have been here more than ten times! As soon as they opened the door, we asked if there was any stock. We came eight times in vain! If you came to ask in the afternoon, they would just say that the person who received the goods had not returned yet and they were not sure whether there would be any stock..."

After hearing this, Li Xiangnan felt even more that it was not easy to get a TV.

Before they could finish their conversation, they heard a sudden commotion and the whole crowd suddenly exploded as if firecrackers were set off, and they began to squeeze forward frantically.

Li Xiangnan turned his head and saw that Yang Weidong and Sun Jie were guarding the door of the store on the left and right. The employees inside were removing the door panels. Tao Zhengtie and Cui Xingjian stretched out their hands to stop the people behind them from getting closer.

"Open the door!" After Wang Defa said this, he threw away his cigarette, rushed out, and went over to protect Lao Cui and the others, letting them in first to prevent the people behind from dispersing the team.

"..."

Seeing this situation, Li Xiangnan's mouth twitched.

It's obvious at first glance that they have developed such a tacit understanding through fighting for the TV these days. It's amazing!

Before he could come to his senses and go forward to help, he was pushed down the stairs. The whole crowd suddenly poured into the store, filling the entire lobby!

Suddenly there was a lot of noise!

The sounds of shouting, cursing, discussing, and pushing were endless, and it was very lively.

Li Xiangnan chased after them and stood behind the crowd, and saw that Ma Ying had already taken a large cardboard box, and was desperately protecting the TV with Sun Jie, Cui Xingjian and others as they squeezed out, all the way to him!

"Chief Ma, why did you come out? Aren't the others going to grab the TV?" Li Xiangnan, feeling strange, asked immediately.

"Hehe!" Ma Ying grinned, handed the TV to him, and said with a smile: "What do we need this TV for! This is for you, a wedding present for you!"

"What the hell?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangnan was completely stunned.
