Chapter 417: On the way back from buying a TV, the father and his two sons were so tired from playing that they fell asleep in Jiang Si's arms after a while.
On the way, Huo Tingzhou kept looking at his wife and children sitting next to him with a smile on his face, but only he knew how excited he was at the moment.
Although the two little guys were exhausted, their excitement was obviously not over yet.
The next day when I went to kindergarten, I didn't forget to remind my good friends to remember to watch TV on Saturday night!
The children in the kindergarten are basically from the Air Force compound, and in terms of conditions, every family is well off.
But not every household has a TV, and it’s not that they can’t afford it, but that it’s of little use even if they buy it.
Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment and asked, "Sui Sui, Zhao Zhao, did your family buy a TV?"
Hearing this, the two little guys were stunned.
Yes!
The two were so happy that they forgot they didn't even have a TV at home!
I just don’t know how much a TV costs?
Teacher Lin from the kindergarten happened to pass by, and Sui Sui immediately ran over and asked, "Teacher Lin, how much is a TV?"
While asking this question, he was already calculating his pocket money in his mind.
Starting from this semester, his mother would give him and his sister 50 cents pocket money each every week.
However, he and his sister ate well at home every day, so they never touched the money. The two of them had more than eight dollars in their hands!
That should be... enough, right?
Teacher Lin was stunned by the question until the children next to her reminded her, "Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao's mother is going to be on TV." Only then did she understand the whole story.
So he smiled and said, "Well, it depends on the size of the TV you buy. Generally, a 12-inch TV costs around 370-380 yuan, and a 14-inch one costs more than 420 yuan."
"Ah, more than three hundred yuan?" Zhao Zhao instantly wilted when he heard that.
She and her brother's combined weekly pocket money is one dollar, which means they would have to save for more than seven years to earn more than three hundred dollars.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Huo Tingzhou has been thinking about this matter since yesterday. He has borrowed all of Lao Xiao's private money, but he still hasn't received the TV tickets.
After thinking about it, I decided to call Huo's mother.
After Huo's mother retired last September, she was re-hired by the General Political Department Art Troupe.
Now I am only responsible for the performances of major programs, and I don’t have to work in the office on normal days.
The call was quickly connected, and Mother Huo's energetic voice came from the other end, "Hello, Xiaozhou, why are you calling so early?"
My son and his family of four have now moved to the Air Force compound.
I only have time to come here on weekends.
But my two good grandsons are so motivated that they still want to learn things even on weekends.
If they wanted to see him, they could only go to Zhuo's house or the Children's Palace.
Although she thought it unlikely, Mrs. Huo still asked with anticipation.
"Are my daughter-in-law and two wonderful grandchildren coming home for dinner tonight? If so, Mom will go buy groceries now!"
"No, Mom." Huo Tingzhou quickly interrupted his mother's enthusiastic speculation.
"No? Then why did you call back?"
Huo Tingzhou cleared his throat and asked directly, "Mom, is it easy to get TV tickets now?"
Mrs. Huo reacted quickly, "Why? You want to buy a TV?"
Huo Tingzhou hummed, "Yesterday, someone from Beijing TV came to do an exclusive interview with Si Si. It will be broadcast this Saturday night, the day after the commendation meeting. I thought..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huo's mother, "Such a big thing, why are you telling me now?"
Huo Tingzhou rubbed his eyebrows helplessly. It was almost eleven o'clock when they came back and finished washing up yesterday.
But this is not important. He quickly brought the subject back to the topic, "Mom, that ticket..."
"Don't worry about the tickets, I'll take care of it!" Mother Huo thought for a moment and then said, "Do you have enough money?"
"It's... it's almost there." Huo Tingzhou didn't feel embarrassed in front of his mother.
Anyway, the men of the Huo family are clean from head to toe, both in their pockets and in their bodies and minds.
As soon as I receive my salary and bonus, I hand it over in full.
"Okay, Mom got it, hang up!"
