The next day.
Zhuang Sheng got up early in the morning and prepared to go to Chen Wanglong to see if there was anything he could do for him. He brought the TV over and wanted to install it before lunch.
The two of them are already old, and now celebrating their birthdays can really be called a big birthday. So, when they celebrate their birthdays, they will ask a chef to set up a tent in front of their house to cook.
When Zhuang Sheng arrived, Chen Wanglong's three sons were already there. The household was already bustling with activity. The shed had been set up the day before, and the chef had already begun preparing. It was a bustling, bustling place.
"Hey! Look, who is here?" As soon as Zhuang Sheng entered the door, he heard a familiar voice.
Li Ping was washing vegetables when she saw Zhuang Sheng and quickly went over to greet him. In the past, they hadn't been close, but that didn't matter. After all, their relationship with Zhuang Sheng was just that of uncle and nephew, and they didn't interact much.
But now it's different. Their son Chen Lei and daughter-in-law Xiaofang have been working under their Liu Ruonan! From now on, their good days will depend on them.
Most people were surprised by Zhuang Sheng's wife. Who could have imagined that the little girl who usually dared not speak loudly and was submissive all day long would suddenly transform into a big boss who owned two shops?
It's really amazing. So amazing that you can't even imagine it.
"Second aunt." Zhuang Sheng also greeted with a smile.
Li Ping saw the cardboard box in Zhuang Sheng's arms, which had a picture of a TV on the outside. She immediately understood what was going on and shouted excitedly, "Oh! Mom, come and see! Zhuang Sheng bought you a TV."
The old lady’s birthday was a lively occasion, and Tian Ni’s brothers and sisters all came to celebrate her birthday.
When Tian Ni heard Li Ping's call, she hurried out of the room, followed by a large group of people. Tian Ni had five brothers and sisters, and her three sons who were talking in the room also came out with her.
When Tian Ni saw Zhuang Sheng, she ran over immediately. She was particularly fond of her nephew and had been looking forward to his and Liu Ruonan's return.
"Zhuang Sheng! You're back!" Tian Ni ran over excitedly. Seeing the TV in Zhuang Sheng's arms, she frowned and looked at him reprimandingly, "Why did you buy this? It's so expensive."
Zhuang Sheng smiled and said, "Grandma, happy birthday! This is Ruonan's birthday gift to you!"
This statement attracted the attention of the busy people in the yard. Ruonan, isn't that Zhuang Sheng's wife?! What a generous gesture! Giving an old man a TV show for his birthday! It was really a grand occasion.
Everyone gathered around. Someone noticed the words on the cardboard box and pointed at it with a surprised look on their face and said, "Wow! Look, it's colorful!"
"Oh! Aunt Nizi, you are so lucky! This is the first color TV in our village! I have never seen a TV in my life, but now that I am old, my granddaughter-in-law bought it for me."
While praising Liu Ruonan, this statement undoubtedly also mocked her sons. The three sons were never able to buy a TV for the old lady, and they often had small conflicts over taking care of the old lady.
In this respect, she is not even one percent as good as Liu Ruonan.
The people watching in the yard naturally had something to say.
Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng are now living a prosperous life. In the city, they not only have their own shop, but also a factory. They are really enjoying a great life!
This was a first for anyone in their village! Perhaps the only person who could build such a large business was Zhuang Sheng's wife.
Moreover, this woman was generous. Not only did she not care about Li Ping's refusal to lend them money when they were in dire straits, but she also said some unpleasant things. She also brought their son Chen Lei with her, so that they could make money and live a good life together.
There are also Mr. and Mrs. Chen Wanglong and Mrs. Liu Ruonan who know how to be grateful. On their birthday, they bought a color TV as a birthday present. Such a big gift is the first of its kind in their village!
Tian Ni felt distressed. Even though Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng made money, they were old and really had no use for these things.
"Zhuang Sheng, please return it! It's a waste of money to buy such an expensive thing!"
Zhuang Sheng smiled and said, "Grandma, I've already bought it, so just watch it. Look, does it look good in the north room?"
Zhuang Sheng said this and walked towards the north room carrying the TV.
Tian Ni sighed, and Chen Wanglong consoled her, saying, "Since you've bought the child, just keep him!"
Since that was the case, Tian Ni didn't say anything more and followed Zhuang Sheng into the house.
"Sister, you are so lucky." Tian Ni's brother also said happily: "You have such a good grandson."
Tian Ni couldn't stop smiling, and felt that she had benefited from following Zhuang Sheng and Liu Ruonan.
Many people put down their work and rushed over to see the new thing. Not to mention color TVs, even black and white ones were rare in the countryside in those days.
Chen Lei and Xiao Fang also came over at this time. Seeing so many people gathered together, Chen Lei shouted curiously: "It's so lively."
After entering the room and taking a closer look, he realized that Zhuang Sheng had brought the TV in. He quickly went over to help.
At that time, the TV needed to have an antenna installed, so Chen Lei went outside to install the antenna.
The higher the antenna is installed, the stronger the signal. Chen Lei moved a ladder to the roof and stood on the ridge to find the angle.
Zhuang Sheng was watching the TV signal in his room. When the crowd saw the figure appear, they all excitedly shouted to Chen Lei outside the door, "Alright, alright."
But as soon as Chen Lei moved, the signal disappeared again.
"Oh, it doesn't work again."
Chen Lei continued to look for the angle, and finally when everyone shouted "OK", Chen Lei fixed the antenna.
The TV was playing "The Scheme to Capture Pigsy" from Journey to the West. Journey to the West began filming in 1982, and only two episodes, "The Scheme to Capture Pigsy" and "The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon," were released back then. I heard that all eleven episodes will be released before this year's Spring Festival.
The characters in the TV series were incredibly lifelike, and their colorful clothes made them look incredibly vivid. Liu Xiaolingtong's portrayal of the Monkey King was truly clever, captivating the audience. They all gathered around to watch the show.
Chen Wanglong's north room was full of people.
Many villagers who heard the news came to join in the fun, wanting to see what the color TV looked like.
As a result, the room was too crowded to accommodate all the people, so they all gathered at the door, and some even stood in front of the window, sticking their heads out to look inside.
