Tian Tian actually also planned to buy a TV. Although they had just purchased a refrigerator and money was a bit tight, the price of small-sized TVs was not that expensive nowadays. Tian Tian could still squeeze out enough money to buy a TV if she squeezed a little.
Tian Tian had this idea because she was very bored at home this morning. She had not discussed this idea with Gu Zhao, but she did not expect Ge Huiyun to come and not only bring a refrigerator, but also offer to buy her a TV.
Tian Tian wanted it in her heart, but felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. When your father and grandfather came back, the country paid them all their wages for so many years. You know we at home only have a little food and can spend a little money. We have no place to spend the rest of the money. It's just sitting there, so we might as well buy you a TV. We have had this plan for a long time, but we were worried that you would think we were meddling too much, so we never mentioned it to you." Ge Huiyun said, holding Tian Tian's hand.
Tian Tian's heart was about to burst with joy. As for what Ge Huiyun said, she was worried that Tian Tian would think they were meddling too much. Tian Tian really thought from the bottom of her heart how could that be? Who would hate someone who gave them gold bars?
"If you want it, don't pretend with us. You know mom doesn't like those things. Just say what you want to say!"
Tian Tian turned her head and glanced at Gu Zhao. After all, they were Gu Zhao's parents, so she still had to see what Gu Zhao thought.
After seeing Gu Zhao nodded, Tian Tian immediately smiled and said to Ge Huiyun: "Thank you, Mom. But you don't have to buy a too big one. Just buy a small black and white TV that I can watch!"
Now that we have color TVs, small-sized black-and-white TVs are very cheap. If Tian Tian buys a cheaper one, she won't have too much psychological burden.
Nowadays, small black and white TV sets are basically popular. Tian Tian was thinking about whether to buy one for her family. After all, the price is not expensive.
But Lin Meiyu and the others all refused, saying that having a radio in their home was already restless enough, and if they added a TV, all the people in the village, young and old, would have to live in their house and not leave.
Tian Tian listened to Lin Meiyu and decided that since they were unwilling, she had to give up the idea.
Moreover, she has already seen this thing called television. In her next life, she will watch all kinds of TV dramas in the highest definition that can be connected to the Internet. In fact, Tian Tian doesn’t have any big requirements for whether the current television is black and white or color. Anyway, it will never be as clear and large as the televisions of the future.
"Why buy a black and white one? The color TV they have now is from the Panasonic brand and it's not expensive, just over a thousand yuan. If you want to buy one, just buy that one. New TVs are already out. Why buy those old ones?" Ge Huiyun didn't listen to Tian Tian's opinion at all and turned to Gu Shuyun and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Gu Shuyun had no objection to this. Just like Ge Huiyun said, they couldn't spend the money and there was no point in keeping it.
"But we have to find tickets for the TV first!"
If you want to buy a TV now, you also need a quota. The ticket is the quota for the TV. If you don’t have that quota, you can’t buy as many as you want.
"That's easy. I just need to ask my leader for one when the time comes." Ge Huiyun said. She was very confident about her position in their unit. After all, she was considered a top researcher and was definitely the core of their unit.
After hearing this, Gu Shuyun nodded and said nothing more.
Tian Tian was so shocked by their generosity that she felt dizzy. Is this the happiness of rich people?
In other words, their home is too far away from the south, otherwise they could have gotten a TV from the south. Shen Lingling had previously said that TVs in the south are also very cheap, with a cheap black-and-white TV set costing fifty yuan, and an expensive one might only cost a few hundred yuan.
But they are not brand new TVs, but broken ones, which they take back, repair and then sell.
Although it is second-hand, the price is very cheap and many people want to buy it.
When Shen Lingling told her about this, her tone was still full of sadness. Unfortunately, a black and white TV, no matter how small it was, was still larger than a radio, and it would be a problem to store it somewhere else.
Moreover, television sets now have their own certificates. Television sets resold in the south can be easily discovered without certificates.
So in the end Shen Lingling gave up the idea.
After deciding to buy the TV, Ge Huiyun was not in a rush to leave right away. She stayed with Tian Tian at home very seriously and explained all the precautions during pregnancy to her.
It has to be said that Ge Huiyun's presence made Tian Tian feel very at ease. Although the doctors in the hospital had already reminded Tian Tian, Ge Huiyun had her unique experience in pregnancy and was someone Tian Tian was relatively close to, so first of all, psychologically, Tian Tian was dependent on Ge Huiyun.
Ge Huiyun was busy this afternoon, and instructed Gu Zhao to replace all the furnishings in their house that were unreasonable or not good for pregnant women.
After seeing that there was nothing placed high in the house, and no daily necessities placed high for Tian Tian to reach, Ge Huiyun nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Ge Huiyun asked Tian Tian to go back to the house to rest. Tian Tian was indeed very tired. If Ge Huiyun and the others had not come over, Tian Tian was planning to take a nap. Now Ge Huiyun took the initiative to let Tian Tian go to sleep. Tian Tian did not bother to be polite with Ge Huiyun. She went back to the room and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
After finishing the decoration of the house, Ge Huiyun took Gu Shuyun out to buy groceries, thinking that Tian Tian was pregnant and would definitely have something good to eat in the evening.
She originally wanted to take Gu Zhao out for a walk, and tell Gu Zhao what a pregnant woman is, what she should try not to eat, and what are the foods that are better for pregnant women to eat.
But she was worried about Tian Tian being alone at home. She thought that when Tian Tian woke up and saw no one at home, she would be very panicked. So she asked Gu Zhao to stay at home, and she wrote the remaining things on paper and gave them to Gu Zhao when she came back.
Gu Zhao had been busy for the whole afternoon and was very tired. Now that his mom and dad had gone out to buy things, he took this opportunity to lie down beside Tian Tian who was sleeping soundly and dozed off for a while to rest up. After all, his parents might need him to cook for him when they came back soon.
