The old man and the old lady refused to let them change, and Zhou's father, mother and Zhou Yong were even less courageous to do so.
What's more, a color TV costs about one thousand or two thousand yuan, which is really too expensive.
Zhou Yong's monthly salary is not low, more than 50 yuan, but even if he saves up all his money without eating or drinking, it is only more than 600 yuan. It takes him three years to save up enough to buy a color TV.
How could he afford it?
Moreover, Du Chunjuan had squandered most of his salary over the years. Later, in order to divorce Du Chunjuan, he gave almost all of his remaining money to her.
Previously, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were critically ill and stayed in the hospital for more than a month, which cost a lot of money.
So the 6,000 yuan they used to buy the ginseng came from almost all of their savings, plus borrowing from everywhere.
The mushroom factory led by Jiang Shixun made a lot of money, and Zhou Yong helped him a lot. If the factory belonged to Jiang Shixun alone, he would have the power to give Zhou Yong a commission.
Unfortunately, the factory did not belong to him, but to the Red Star Production Team. He had no say in the matter and could not give Zhou Yong money.
Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will seem like they are bribing Zhou Yong, which is no small matter.
So until now, Zhou Yong is still a pauper.
He has used all his salary for the past few months to pay off his debts. He can't even afford to buy a pack of cigarettes, let alone a color TV.
Jiang Zhiying and Xiao Lin had already seen a 100-inch ultra-high-definition color TV, so they naturally looked down on the Zhou family's small black and white TV.
But the two of them are not fools, and they would not show it even if they looked down on them.
Jiang Zhiying even pretended to be a curious baby, which made Xiao Lin want to laugh.
At this time, Jiang Shixun and Mrs. Zhou finally walked in. Jiang Shixun brought a lot of things, including bacon, sausages, bacon and eggs, and two bottles of wine.
Zhou Yong helped a lot, but he couldn't give him a commission, nor was it convenient for him to pay Zhou Yong out of his own pocket. He could only give Zhou Yong more gifts during the Chinese New Year to express his gratitude.
But you can't give too much, as it will give people an opportunity to find fault with you.
After all, although the old man and the old lady have retired, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Xiuying are still cadres.
The things Jiang Shixun brought were a bit heavy, so he didn't dare let the old lady carry them. He delivered them to the kitchen himself.
Then came the living room.
Jiang Shixun still admired old heroes like Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou very much, so after he entered the living room, he greeted Mr. Zhou solemnly.
Mr. Zhou nodded, his face looking quite serious: "I've heard Zhou Yong talk about you, and I've also read about you in the newspaper. You're a good person. You should study hard when you go to college.
I'm a rough man, I only know how to carry a gun and nothing else. You are different. The country will rely on you young people in the future. You must work hard! Develop our country and let those foreigners take a good look! "
Jiang Shixun had a lot of thoughts when he came here, but when facing Mr. Zhou, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Compared with this old man, his thoughts are a bit mean.
The old man was willing to risk his life for the country and fight the enemy on the battlefield.
Unlike him, he is full of calculations and weighing the pros and cons.
Compared with this old man, he is really far behind.
So Jiang Shixun stood at attention involuntarily, saluted the old man, and said in a resounding voice: "Don't worry, old man, I will do my best to study hard and make our country prosperous so that more people can have enough food to eat!"
