After saying that, he inserted the crowbar into the gap of the wooden box, his arm muscles bulging slightly, and with a "creak", the wooden board opened.
As the wooden planks were pried open one by one, the contents inside were finally revealed.
It was a brand new television set with a beautiful wooden casing!
Moreover, in the upper right corner of the screen, below the two characters for "peony," the two small characters for "colorful" are clearly printed!
"sky--"
Someone gasped, and the entire living room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the television set, as if they were captivated by something.
Color television!
They'd only ever seen these things in newspapers and propaganda posters! The entire military region didn't have a single color television set!
This thing is expensive and hard to buy! Therefore, even if a family is rich, they are reluctant to buy it.
Lu Linchuan actually... actually bought his wife a color TV?!
"My God! It's colorful!" Sun Xiulian was the first to react, but dared not touch it. She kept it just inches away, looking at it back and forth, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Tang, your man is too good to you!"
"Lin Chuan, how much does this cost?" Su Wantang asked Lu Lin Chuan.
He gave all his money to himself, so where did the money come from?
She knew that Lu Linchuan's allowance was not low, but a color TV cost almost several years' wages for an ordinary worker!
Lu Linchuan tossed the last piece of wood aside, dusted off his hands, and said in a calm but firm voice, "The bonuses from the previous missions were paid out today. I was thinking that you might be a little bored at home all by yourself while you're pregnant, so I bought you a color TV."
A simple sentence, yet it was like a pebble thrown into Su Wantang's heart lake, rippling out in circles.
Su Wantang felt a warmth in her heart.
He spent his newly received allowance on his family.
He always puts himself first.
She felt a warmth in her heart.
Meanwhile, the women around them were in an uproar.
"Pregnant? Tang, you're pregnant?" Sun Xiulian asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's been two months." Su Wantang placed her palm on her lower abdomen, smiling gently.
"I'm so envious! I've been married for three years and still haven't been able to have a child." Sun Xiulian looked at Su Wantang with envy.
Envy, jealousy, amazement... all sorts of emotions intertwined, making Su Wantang's small living room the liveliest place in the entire residential compound.
The news spread like wildfire, and in less than ten minutes, everyone in the courtyard knew about it.
Officers returning home from work, family members finishing their meals, and even children doing their homework all flocked to this area. Su Wantang's courtyard and living room were quickly packed with people.
Li Hongxia also learned about this and came over to join in the fun.
"This TV is nice, but I wonder if it uses a lot of electricity? I heard it's very expensive and breaks easily. Commander Lu is really generous; if this money were saved, it would be enough to build two big brick houses back in our hometown."
Her voice wasn't loud, but in the noisy environment, it reached Su Wantang's ears clearly.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly turned cold.
Anyone could hear the sourness in her words.
The heat on Su Wantang's face subsided a bit. Before she could speak, Lu Linchuan had already plugged in the television and found the antenna.
He didn't even glance at Zhou Hong, but simply said to Su Wantang, "I only need to use the things I buy. If they break, I'll just buy more."
