Although everyone had breakfast in Liangguochang Hutong in the morning, after Li Xiangnan's grandmother cooked the red bean porridge, everyone ate it up. It felt hot on their lips and warm in their hearts.

Then I rushed to work!

The issue of Li Xiangnan's TV was resolved, and everyone was secretly happy!

Li Xiangnan was free today, and knowing that he was going to tidy up the house with Defa, Ma Ying decisively gave Cui Xingjian a day off and asked him to accompany him to help Li Xiangnan tidy up the furniture and paint the walls of the house.

So after Ma Ying, Tao, Zheng, Tie, Liang Mei and Sun Jie went to work, Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, Yang Weidong and Cui Xingjian waited for the antenna installer to come after lunch while they went to the store to buy tung oil and lime to help clean up the house.

Fortunately, today is a rare sunny day.

As soon as the sun came out, Wang Defa and Cui Xingjian carried the armchair and the round table to the door, took a bucket of mixed tung oil and oiled the furniture, letting them get full sun exposure.

On this side, Li Xiangnan and Yang Weidong stirred the quicklime and plastered the inner walls again.

The last time I went to the Lin family for dinner, Wang Defa had already painted the exterior walls, and it looked brand new.

The house here has never been decorated. Now that the school is on vacation, Li Xiangnan has plenty of time and can finally take care of his own things. He wants to decorate it as soon as possible.

The days of the wedding were counted, and all things were done step by step. While painting the walls, he became more and more energetic, and Li Xiangnan even started humming a song.

"Look how proud you are! Someone who doesn't know would think you picked up a lot of money!"

While drinking the hot tea brought by his grandmother, Wang Defa glanced at Li Xiangnan and teased him.

Cui Xingjian grinned and said, "What do you know, Fatty? When you get married tomorrow, you will be happier than Xiao Li!"

Yang Weidong jumped off the bench to get the lime water. Hearing this, he shook his head and laughed, "That's impossible! Defa looks like this, I'm afraid no female comrade would be interested in him! If he wants to get married, I'm afraid he'll be a poor man!"

"Damn it, Yang Weidong! You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth! I'm going to find a partner tomorrow!" Wang Defa's words were actually quite vicious, but he was weak when it came to dating and couldn't stand others provoking him!

Li Xiangnan had not forgotten the embarrassment he had made at school a few days ago, and said with a smile: "Defa, come on, have you forgotten about the time you were called a hooligan? Weidong was right! You should also lose some weight, otherwise when they introduce you to someone, they will see that you have gone home with your belly before you have gone home, which will be really difficult to deal with!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa became depressed and said, "Xiao Li, you are talking about something else, right?"

"Oh, Defa, you were really called a hooligan? What happened? Tell me about it!" Cui Xingjian encouraged him and worked harder.

"Get lost! That's a misunderstanding!" Wang Defa blushed, threw away his brush, clapped his hands and went into the house, "I don't have time to talk to you about this, I'm going to help grandma make lunch!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing his guilty look, everyone laughed.

Even grandma was grinning from ear to ear in the room, and she even joked with Fatty, "Defa, what Xiao Yang and the others said is right. You are a few years older than Xiao Li. When are you going to bring a partner to grandma? I will give you some advice!"

"Grandma, you're saying this just out of concern for me. Those bastards are just trying to make fun of me! As soon as I find it, I'll definitely let you take a look first!" Wang Defa said complacently, and even made a nasty look at the guys who stuck their heads out from outside!

"What a bastard!" Cui Xingjian sat down to rest, and as soon as he lit a cigarette he cursed with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

In such a peaceful and happy atmosphere, everyone worked while waiting for the wire installer to install the wires next to the jujube tree.

"Hey, there's a shadow! My goodness, it's so clear! Look, grandma, look, there's sound!"

As soon as the image appeared on TV, Wang Defa was even more excited than Li Xiangnan.

The grandmother came closer and took a closer look. The more she looked, the more she was amazed. She sighed with emotion, "I never thought that I could watch this TV thanks to my grandson!"

"Grandma, do you think it's clear? Do you want the master to adjust it again?" Cui Xingjian was helping the master hold the ladder outside and stretched his head to shout.

"Very clear!" Grandma replied with a smile.

"Are they all out already?"

Li Xiangnan and Yang Weidong went to the store to buy cigarettes. When they saw that the TV in the house had sound, they quickly stuffed the cigarettes into the trouser pocket of the assembler and shouted, "Master, thank you for your hard work!"

Being stuffed with things like this, the installer was particularly enthusiastic and responsible. "Comrade, go in and take a look. Adjust the channel and see if there is anything unclear. I will adjust it for you right away!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan hurried into the room to adjust the channel, tested the clarity of one channel, and quickly replied: "Master, is there no Yanjing channel?"

I have the impression that Yanjing Cable TV Channel 1 should have been available at that time!

"Wait a moment!" The installer was very responsible. He jumped off the wooden ladder, turned to the other side, climbed up again to adjust the wires, and quickly called Li Xiangnan to try again.

He turned the knob again, and the Yanjing column came out, but it was a black and white grid test picture. Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "It's out, it's out! But there's no program!"

"That's it. These two channels are enough for you to watch! Yanjing Channel only has programs in the evening!" The master came down the wooden ladder and saw Li Xiangnan coming out and handing him a cigarette. He immediately said, "If the TV is not clear later, you can adjust the antenna first. If you can't fix it, come to the store and find us. We will provide after-sales service!"

"Thank you!"

After the master left, everyone happily took their stools and squeezed into the house to sit down, staring at the TV eagerly, with excitement written all over their faces.

Li Xiangnan also pushed his grandmother to sit on the bench, looked at the laughter in the room, and whispered, "Grandma, isn't it beautiful?"

"It's great, it's great!" Grandma pulled his hand, very excited, and hurriedly ordered: "You must pick up Xiao Qin first tonight and watch our TV!"

"Okay, I'll pick her up when I get off work!"

Li Xiangnan agreed readily.

When we have something good, we will always share it with the people we care about first!

He understands his grandmother's thoughts.

This afternoon, I watched the TV series "Three In-Laws" on TV, and time passed happily and briefly.

At half past four, Li Xiangnan rode straight to the municipal bureau as soon as he got out of the hospital. It was winter now and people got off work at five o'clock, so he had to arrive early.

When it was time to get off work, Qin Ruobai just came out of the building and saw Li Xiangnan coming out from the guard room, who was warming himself by the stove. He immediately smiled and said, "You came quite early! How did you do on the exam?"

"Reporting to the leader, you must pass the exam! But the results will not be known until the beginning of next semester! Now I will take you home to inspect you!"

"Haha, it looks pretty realistic!" Qin Ruobai covered her mouth and laughed happily. She got on her bicycle and urged, "Xiao Xu told me several recipes today. Let's go to the market to buy some vegetables first. I'll cook for grandma..."

"No need! Doctor Liang has moved back to the courtyard! She specifically asked me to treat you to dinner tonight! I called you home for this and to tell you a piece of good news!"

"What?" Qin Ruobai immediately became overjoyed.

"I'll tell you when we get there! Let's go!" Li Xiangnan got into the car and deliberately didn't tell her.

After he said that, Qin Ruobai, who was born with curiosity, could not stay still and rode his bike as fast as he could to rush home.

When the two returned to the courtyard, before they reached the backyard, they heard bursts of cheerful noises coming from the room.

Suspicious Qin Ruobai turned to look at Li Xiangnan and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a proud expression. He became more curious and kept pulling him into the backyard's hanging flower gate.

Then the whole person was stunned!

At 5:20 after work, the backyard was crowded with people. There were neighbors from the courtyard, doctors from the factory hospital, and colleagues from the imaging building. Everyone sat around the black and white TV at the door and laughed.

After waiting for a long time without hearing Qin Ruobai's cheers, Li Xiangnan walked in front of her and stretched his head to take a look. He found that her eyes were looking back and forth across the crowd. He was also stunned. He immediately tugged at her hand and whispered, "Ruobai, why are you crying?"

"Xiangnan, no, I'm happy! I'm crying with joy!" Qin Ruobai wiped her tears and said with her lips moving, "You really helped me build this family!"

She looked at the house, which had been renovated inside and out, and was deeply moved.

"Xiangnan, I want to have a home too!"
