Wan Qingliu and Hua Wanchi have been grandparents and grandchildren for two generations, more than 20 years in modern times and more than 10 years in this life. The feelings they have are different from those with other grandchildren.
Even though she loved other children, the one she was most reluctant to part with was Hua Wanchi.
So, this time, she wanted to accompany Hua Wanchi at every stage of his life.
After all, there will be no next life where they can be grandparents and grandchildren again.
Wan Qingliu was planning this, and the old man was helpless, but compared to his granddaughter, he was more attached to this land.
He wanted to stay at home and be buried in his hometown even after his death.
The children each went their separate ways, but Lao Huatou just wanted to cultivate the land. He felt that no matter how good his family conditions were, he was still a farmer, and as a farmer, he could not forget his land.
A few years ago, the Hua family bought a TV.
This TV attracted a large number of villagers to come to Lao Hua's house to watch the fun. Later, Wan Qingliu started selling some melon seeds and other things, and the prototype of a small convenience store was already established.
Now that she has really opened a small shop, Wan Qingliu thought about it and decided to put a TV in the shop.
This way, more people will watch TV, and they will always buy something, which will boost business.
But she has to keep an eye on the decoration of the county town.
Therefore, the glorious and arduous task of buying a TV was given to Hua Xuguo.
He was also the one looking after the store these days, and Hua Xuguo was not very happy about it at first.
"Mom, I still have to go to the county town to set up a stall."
Wan Qingliu didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "The sales revenue of the past few days is all yours."
Hua Xuguo agreed immediately and patted his chest:
"What's the big deal about setting up a stall? It's an honor to work for your own mother! Mom, don't worry, just keep an eye on it in the county town. It's okay to stay a few more days. Anyway, my eldest brother's house is empty, don't you think, eldest brother?"
Hua Aihua couldn't help but say: "You are really calculating, kid."
Hua Xuguo was not at all shy and just smiled.
Wan Qingliu laughed and didn't want to pay attention to him.
So Hua Xuguo got on the tricycle. Now you don’t need a ticket to buy a TV, so he took enough money and set off.
This money still needs to be reimbursed by Wan Qingliu.
The county department store has everything: radios, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, and even bicycles.
It's very strange that bicycles require tickets, but more advanced electrical appliances don't require tickets.
However, many people want to buy bicycles, but not many people want to buy electrical appliances.
With a pair of hands, you can do all the housework. Those electrical appliances are so expensive, who would be willing to spend that spare money?
If a family buys a TV, they will be envious of their neighbors, and even if they have a dog, they will have to show it off.
Perhaps the low sales volume is one of the reasons why tickets are not required.
Wan Qingliu bought everything. The current power grid is quite powerful and can withstand the operation of current electrical appliances.
If a family suddenly becomes rich and buys a TV, people around them will definitely be envious and jealous.
But if a family not only buys a TV, but also buys all kinds of electrical appliances, and they live so well on a daily basis, people around them will get used to it.
The wealth of the Hua family is so far beyond what one could imagine. It's almost numb.
It's so enviable that I can't even envy it.
This time, Hua Xuguo also chose a color TV. Thanks to Hua Wanchi, black and white TVs were not yet popular at that time, but color TV technology was already mature.
That’s why you can see that in department stores, black and white and color televisions each account for half of the market.
Those who can easily afford a TV don't care about the price difference and will just buy a color TV.
If you have to grit your teeth and reluctantly buy a TV, you can only calculate and buy an affordable black and white TV to make do.
As long as it's watchable.
The salesperson asked, "Do you want to install it?"
Hua Xuguo waved his hand confidently: "No, just leave it here, I'll drag it home myself."
Since he said so, the staff had no choice but to do as he said and helped put the TV into the tricycle's cargo bed.
Hua Xuguo rode his tricycle to the village entrance and called a few villagers to help move the TV down.
"Why did your family buy another TV?"
The villagers were so tired of talking about their envy that they wondered how come other families were so rich that they could buy TVs just like cabbages.
"Where are you going to put it?"
"Isn't it a canteen?"
Everyone started asking questions at once.
Hua Xu laughed and said, "The TV is in the store. You're welcome to come and watch it."
"Wow!"
"Your family is so rich that they even have a TV in the store!"
"I'll bring my wife and kids to see it tomorrow!"
There is a TV in the brigade, but there are always a lot of people there every day.
During normal times when there are no holidays, the children are forced to study and do not compete with adults for seats, but this place is still full.
When the holidays came, the windows and the trees about ten meters away were all filled with people.
Naturally, everyone hopes to have more places to watch TV so that the flow of people can be distributed and the viewing experience can be more comfortable.
Hua Xuguo installed the TV, adjusted the antenna, and when he saw the signal coming from the TV, he was satisfied and finished his work.
When the villagers heard that there was a color TV in the store, they all came to see the novelty.
From time to time, someone would come into the store and look at the TV from a distance with curiosity.
He also asked, "How much does this TV cost? It's not cheap, is it?"
Hua Xuguo smiled and said, "Money is not important, as long as you have a good look."
These words greatly pleased the villagers, and everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred turned into a sense of satisfaction. This was done to make them feel comfortable, and they felt comfortable in their hearts as well.
As soon as I felt comfortable, I started looking at what could be bought in the store and took care of the business.
So, when doing business, speaking is so important.
Everyone knows what's going on, and no matter how curious they are, they just watch from afar and don't dare to touch it.
Afraid of breaking it and having to pay for it.
Even if someone wanted to make a move without knowing the reason, they would be immediately pulled back by others.
Then I received a warning:
"Hey, stop touching! If you break something, not only will you have to pay, but no one will be able to see it!"
Those who want to take advantage of the opportunity can only give up in disappointment.
In the evening, after everyone finished work and had their meal, they immediately brought out their own chairs and stools to sit and watch TV.
Hua Xuguo installed the TV at the door. There was such a large area at the entrance of the village that everyone could see it wherever they sat.
The people on TV were laughing and running around, jumping over rooftops and walls, and their punches and kicks were so powerful that it made people's blood boil.
The whole village was quiet. Except for a group of children in the tutoring class, there was no one to be seen anywhere else.
They were all gathered at the village entrance watching TV.
Hua Xuguo imitated Wan Qingliu and performed familiar tricks.
He took out some cheap sunflower seeds and peanuts slowly, and you could grab a handful for two cents.
Many people, after watching them, can't help but want to buy a handful of melon seeds to make themselves happy. They are not expensive and they enjoy eating them.
