Chapter 121 Panda TV
Only then did Han Changping understand the truth of the matter. It turned out that after Xu Dongping was brought back by his mother with money, he heard that Xu Huimin had given him two thousand yuan, and he was so happy that his mouth was about to pop out of the sky.
As a result, he became arrogant for a moment and started gambling with the idle people brought by Hong Wei. He acted arrogantly and not only refused to pay back the money when he lost, but also beat them up after drinking some wine.
The people that Hong Wei followed were originally the playboys in the county town, so naturally Xu Dongping didn't get any advantage, but the people in the city were very cunning.
Xu Dongping had given a kid a big wound on the head, and Xu Dongping's injuries were hidden under his clothes and were difficult to talk about.
So, when someone was lying in the hospital and blatantly blackmailing him, he was taken directly to the police station.
"Okay, I happen to be going to town too, let's go together."
"I'm going too."
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the old village chief sitting on the back of the motorcycle and shouted anxiously.
"Are you going to hang on the handlebars of the motorcycle?"
Han Changping snarled harshly and put the helmet on his head.
"I'll sit in the back."
"Okay, go home and wait for my news. Changping, let's go."
After a deafening bang, Han Changping started the motorcycle and rushed out.
According to the old village chief, they first went to the town hospital, but the patient had already been transferred back to the county town. Then they went directly to the police station.
After some inquiries, we found out that the coward Xu Dongping became cowardly as soon as he arrived at the police station, and admitted that he was the one who caused the wound on the man's head.
For now, there are two solutions to the problem. One is private settlement between the two families, and the other is criminal detention.
"Old Village Chief, I bought a TV and want to take it back. Would you like me to take you back first?"
"No, I just happened to have something to do at the government office. You can go do whatever you want."
Han Changping nodded, not wanting to get too involved in the Xu family's affairs, and left.
A 21-inch Panda brand color TV, probably the only one of its kind in the entire Xiangyang Town.
"Changping, I put a lot of effort into getting this machine for you."
The director of the agricultural machinery station looked at Han Changping with a smile.
"I know, I know. This is the foreign milk powder I asked a friend to bring back from Shanghai. There's also some malt extract. Keep it."
"Okay, go in and pay the bill. Be careful on the way. Oh, and I've also soldered the antenna for you. Would you like to take it back with you?"
"Well, take it back with you. You can watch it when you connect it in the evening."
In this way, Han Changping tied the 21-inch Panda color TV to the back of the motorcycle, and hung the 50-pound antenna welded with steel bars on the back, and then walked towards home at a leisurely pace.
This time when he entered the village, it was even more lively than the last time he came back on his motorcycle.
Mostly some children were chasing after Han Changping's motorcycle, shouting as they ran.
"Look, a big color TV, a 21-inch one at that! This time we can watch color TV, hahahaha..."
The children chased after him, and the women holding their children stared at him intently, greeting Han Changping from time to time, their eyes full of envy.
Just as Han Changping was walking past the envious eyes of pedestrians on both sides of the road as if he was inspecting a parade, a man suddenly ran out and blocked Han Changping's motorcycle.
Fortunately, Han Changping was not riding fast and he quickly braked to a stop.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Just look at the usually cheerful Widow Ma, who stopped Han Changping with a troubled look on her face and said,
"Xiao Si, my sister-in-law is at her wit's end, so she's asking for your help."
"Sister-in-law, what do you say?"
Widow Ma is not a bad person. Apart from being a bit touchy, she always protects Han Changping.
"Look, there's no work at your place anymore, and I can't make any money. The child's grandfather has been sick these days, and my family can't afford so much money all at once. I'd like to borrow some money from you."
Seeing Han Changping frowning, Widow Ma hurriedly explained,
"Xiao Si, don't worry, sister-in-law won't lend you much. You see, the autumn harvest is coming soon.
As soon as the grain arrives and we sell it, I'll be the first to return the money to you, how about that?"
"Sister-in-law, tell me, how much do you want to borrow?"
Widow Ma didn't expect Han Changping to agree so readily. She looked at Han Changping timidly and held up five fingers.
"Fifty."
Han Changping smiled, reached into his pocket, took out two fifty-dollar bills, and handed them to Widow Ma.
"One hundred, please. Don't let it be too little. It's not easy for you to take care of two children by yourself, and you also have to take care of your parents-in-law.
Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Just give it to me when you have it. Also, if I have work to do, I'll let you know."
"Xiao Si, thank you, thank you."
Widow Ma rarely spoke to Han Changping so seriously and earnestly. She put her hands together with gratitude and thanked him for a while. Suddenly, she thought of something.
He swept around and hurried over. If there wasn't a large color TV on the back of the motorcycle, Han Changping would have jumped off and run away immediately.
"Xiao Si, sister-in-law wants to tell you something."
Han Changping was really afraid that she would come closer. After all, they were on the road and everyone was watching them.
"Sister-in-law, that's what you said. There's no need to be so close."
Han Changping looked at her with an embarrassed expression and blushing cheeks.
"Xiao Si,"
Widow Ma lowered her voice and said very cautiously,
"I heard Mr. Hong and that kid Li Jiazhi say that he should also go to Shanhe Town to set up a workshop. Did you ask Xu Huimin to make the ointment there?"
Han Changping didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, even Widow Ma knew about it.
"Xiao Si, be careful! They said they'll charge another ten cents. I'm afraid your business will be in trouble again. These bastards will not have a good death."
Widow Ma naturally spoke on Han Changping's side.
"Okay, Sister Ma, I understand. Thank you for telling me this. Go and do your own thing."
"Don't worry, Xiao Si, I'll be keeping an eye on this place for you. If they make any moves, I'll tell you right away. These people aren't good people, humph..."
Seeing Widow Ma like this, Han Changping was also grateful. He nodded and rode his motorcycle back home.
When Mr. Wang saw that Han Changping really brought back a large color TV, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Neighbors came running to help, some moved the TV, some carried poles, and some dug holes very skillfully.
Soon a straight TV pole was wobbling, and with the help of everyone, it was erected at the corner of the window of the house.
"Changping, try it, try it, see if we can get the station. Just shout and we'll turn the pole for you."
When Wang Xiaoyan heard that her family had bought a big color TV, she hurried back from her second mother's house. However, when she turned the corner of the gable, she bumped into the newly erected TV pole with a bang and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ignoring the pain, she got up and ran into the house.
"Uncle, uncle, TV, we have a big color TV at home, right?"
Han Changping, who was tuning the radio, heard the soft sound and looked towards the door. He heard a startled cry.
"Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you?"
