Children born in the 1980s and 90s were arguably the happiest.
Because they had a complete childhood.
The same goes for Xiao Li.
So, while thinking about how to overcome obstacles, how to play games, and where to get the money for tomorrow's wedding gifts, he completely forgot to do his homework.
Goodness, when the parents came back and saw...
He was greeted with a loving little whip.
Xiao Li was hit so hard he screamed in pain.
It's settled.
With a complete childhood, Xiao Li has no regrets in life!
Xiao Li finally finished his homework with a heavy heart and ate dinner.
The family gathered around the television to watch a program.
During this period, watching television was divided into two parts.
When his parents weren't home, the TV belonged to Xiao Li.
We started watching cartoons at 5 o'clock and watched them until 5:30, when they ended with great reluctance.
Next, people would listen to storytelling performances, such as the Investiture of the Gods and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which were the most popular among ordinary people.
After the storytelling session ends, it's time to watch the news.
I started watching the show as soon as 7:30 arrived.
In later generations, the audience for watching dramas was primarily young girls and women.
But nowadays, watching TV series is a family affair.
TV series like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are popular among ordinary people.
Although they were classics, there weren't many TV dramas available for ordinary people during that period; it was just a few shows over and over again.
There's nothing to see if you don't look at it.
Unlike in later generations, where various television stations offer a dazzling array of programs, making it impossible to watch them all, and even allowing for advanced viewing and replays.
That's completely untrue.
I watch whatever the TV station broadcasts.
Xiao Li's mother was watching something interesting when the TV signal started to become unstable.
Snowflakes kept jumping out.
Xiao Li's mother kicked her husband: "Go outside and see what's wrong. Is there something wrong with the antenna?"
Dad rolled his eyes: "How many times have I told you? We're using a rotating antenna, so we don't need to go outside."
Then, Dad took out the small controller, pressed a button, and the fishbone antenna outside spun around, stabilizing the TV signal again.
Xiao Li's mother said, "This antenna is really durable. It's been several years and it's still not broken."
Dad got proud: "Isn't that obvious? This antenna is made by Qimingxing, its quality is beyond question."
“Morning Star?” Little Li’s mother was unconvinced: “Do you think I’m ignorant? Morning Star has never produced such a thing.”
“You don’t understand,” Dad said, counting on his fingers. “When the fishbone antenna came out, Qimingxing hadn’t been established yet, but the boss was the same person, so it could be said that Qimingxing produced it.”
Xiao Li's mother said, "Oh, when do you think they'll hire again? Our neighbor works there, and he's so arrogant. He gives out huge piles of gifts during holidays, he's probably just showing off."
Dad sighed: "You clearly had the chance to go last year, but you insisted it was too far, and even though they had a shuttle bus to pick you up, you wouldn't go."
Xiao Li's mother was a little annoyed: "Why bring up this nonsense! Wasn't the child still young then? Now that he's in school, I don't need to watch over him anymore."
At this moment, Dad said, "I've heard some rumors. Do you still remember Guofei Beverage Factory?"
"Isn't it from Chishui County? Wasn't it Huangtanzi?"
"Yes, but I heard someone in the office today that Chishui County submitted a transaction proposal to the city, which is to sell Guofei Beverage Factory, and the acquirer is Qimingxing!"
Xiao Li's mother was a little confused: "Why do they want to buy this thing?"
"Who knows?" Dad said. "Maybe they're going to make drinks. I reckon they'll be hiring soon. You can go check it out."
"There's no news yet. I'll check back when I hear anything."
"Forget it, by the time we get news, all the places will be full. I'll find someone to reserve a spot for you in advance."
"That's okay too."
At this moment, seeing that his parents were in a good mood, Xiao Li's eyes lit up and he immediately snuggled up to them.
She tilted her little head up and said in a childish voice, "Mommy~~~"
Xiao Li's mother was taken aback, and knew it was no good. She then rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not your mother."
Xiao Li was completely dumbfounded.
What, am I not your child too?
"Go ask your dad if you need anything."
Little Li snorted and buried his head in his father's arms. His father stroked his hair and asked, "What's wrong, eldest son?"
Seeing that there was a chance, Xiao Li immediately said, "Now all the students in my class have computer learning machines, and I want one too."
Dad scratched his head: "A computer?"
Xiao Li's mother was furious: "What kind of computer is that! That thing costs over ten thousand yuan, we can't afford it."
"Yes, son, it's not that I don't want to buy it for you. It's too expensive, and besides, you wouldn't need it. That computer is too high-end; it's something only companies can afford."
Xiao Li said, "It's not expensive, only a little over a hundred yuan."
"Huh?" Dad was a little confused: "When did computers become so cheap? That can't be right."
"This is the price. I've already asked. Can you buy one for me?"
"Honey," Dad turned and asked, "Is technology developing this fast?"
"Nonsense," said Xiao Li's mother. "It's impossible, it must be fake."
Xiao Li said, "Actually, the keyboard we use for typing is different from a real computer. All my classmates are practicing typing, so I can't fall behind!"
Xiao Li had seen the computer before; he had seen it in the principal's office. However, in order to cover up his true purpose, he started making excuses and spreading rumors.
