"A giant this size must use more electricity than a light bulb."

"I wouldn't be willing to turn it on, but I still have to pay the electricity bill."

…

The villagers were talking non-stop, one after another.

Li Mingqing was adjusting the TV in the house.

Everyone in Old Li's family stood happily in the house.

I watched him intently as he moved here and poked there, and soon there were sounds and images.

Li Cuihua and the others who were crowded in the room looked on in disbelief.

"Oh my goodness, I can really see people."

"It's no different from watching a movie. Just thinking about the whole family getting together to watch TV in the evening makes me feel so comfortable."

"I don't know when we'll be able to buy a TV."

"Don't even think about it. You haven't even bought a bicycle yet, and you want to buy a TV? Think about it, we can come to Li's house and watch TV. Even if we just listen to the noise outside, it's good."

"You think so, and so do others."

…

Li Mingqing turned up the TV volume to the maximum.

People in the yard could also hear the sound.

The voices of everyone gradually died down, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the sounds coming from the house.

Now I really believe that Li Mingqing did buy a TV and brought it back to the village.

Old man Li straightened his back and said cheerfully, "Mingqing, why spend this money? Your mother and I can just listen to the radio at home."

"Dad, I bought this by chance to entertain you and Mom."

Old Lady Li said, "Your father and I have to take turns sleeping at night, for fear that someone will steal the TV and make it worth a fortune."

Li Mingfang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, we have Wangcai at home."

"Wangcai is indeed a good gatekeeper."

"The people on TV look so real. I could watch them all day long."

People were constantly coming and going in Old Li's house all morning, and there were still quite a few people in the yard at lunchtime.

Old Man Li said, "Everyone, please go away. The TV won't run away."

"This is not the first time I've seen it. It's so novel. Your Mingqing is really amazing. He bought a big TV without saying a word," said Hongbin's father.

"Come watch TV in the evening."

"Okay, I'll definitely come."

After everyone left.

Yang Daya said excitedly: "What a lucky life I have! I can actually watch TV and I can watch it whenever I want."

"Mom, this is what my uncle bought for grandpa and grandma."

Xiangnan spoke frankly.

"You little bastard, even though I bought it for my grandparents, I just took a look at it."

The four sisters of Da Niu sat obediently on the small wooden stakes.

He had no eyes for anything else but the TV.

Li Mingqing reminded her at the right time: "Big girl, step back a bit. If you get too close, your eyes will be damaged."

The children were so engrossed in watching that they didn't hear what he said.

He raised his voice helplessly and shouted, "Big girl!"

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Please sit back. You're too close to the TV. It can damage your eyes. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the teacher's words on the blackboard when you go to school."

Upon hearing this, the children obediently stepped back several steps.

Niu Niu, Xiao Hong and Xiao Zhe have lost their interest in TV and spent the whole day watching TV yesterday.

If Li Mingqing hadn't turned off the TV, the three siblings would have watched it all night.
