After Chen Wang borrowed the ladder, he started to tinker with how to install the antenna.
During this process, many people from nearby families, including Uncle Qiao and his wife, came over to watch the fun and give Chen Wang advice.
After a lot of effort, Chen Wang finally fixed the antenna on the roof and connected it to the TV in the house.
Chen Wang turned on the TV, took two steps back and looked at the TV screen.
The door of the room was already crowded with people, all staring at the TV screen as if they were staring at some rare treasure.
“It’s open.”
Someone exclaimed.
"Brother, brother, wait a minute, I'm coming, make way!
The little girl's voice rang out.
The people blocking the door made way for her, and the little girl squeezed into the room, happily leaning forward to look at the TV screen.
The result was just a mess of snowflakes flying all over the screen.
"Brother, what is this? There's nothing!"
The little girl frowned and looked at Chen Wang with confusion.
"The signal is still bad. Shake the antenna and see."
Someone made a suggestion.
Chen Wang took two steps forward, raised his hand and slapped the TV twice.
These two slaps stunned everyone.
The little girl was also stunned, and then she said hurriedly: "Brother, what are you doing, don't play TV...Huh?"
Before he could finish his words, the TV screen suddenly became clear, and CCTV-1 was broadcasting an English teaching program called "Learn with Me".
"Is this possible?"
Uncle Qiao and others looked at each other, all shocked by Chen Wang's action.
"Yes, yes, we can really watch it now."
The little girl cheered excitedly.
Chen Wang looked at his right hand and thought that it was true.
He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his elders did this when the TV signal at home was bad.
"Awang, this TV is so expensive, you should stop filming it like that, just shake the antenna or change the channel!"
Uncle Qiao reminded with a painful look on his face.
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, "Well, I'll just give it a try. I won't shoot it next time."
At this time, Lin Xiuqin also walked into the room and looked at the TV screen with curiosity.
"Look, wife, I've done it."
Chen Wang pointed at the TV and said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin nodded slightly, her eyes still fixed on the TV screen.
Just like this, everyone was watching an English teaching program with great interest and in complete silence.
On the contrary, Chen Wang himself felt a bit bored after the initial novelty.
The busyness just now made him even hungrier.
"Um...wife, is the meal ready?"
Chen Wang asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiuqin nodded, pointed in the direction of the back room, and signaled him to go eat by himself.
"Oh, let's go. Let's watch it later, after dinner."
Chen Wang grabbed her wrist and walked outside.
Lin Xiuqin turned her head and stared at the TV screen as he led her away.
"Xiaoyu, let's go and eat first."
Chen Wang turned his head and shouted.
"Oh, here it comes."
The little girl responded loudly but did not move.
"If you don't move, I'll turn off the TV after I finish eating."
Chen Wang threatened unhappily.
"Ah? I'm coming. I'm coming."
The little girl immediately came to her senses and ran out of the room.
The dishes tonight are relatively simple, one is stir-fried pork with peppers, and the other is stewed rabbit meat with cabbage.
Chen Wang took a large bowl, filled it with rice, put some vegetables on it, and went to the front room while eating.
It’s not that he was fascinated by TV, but there were so many people in the room in front of him, so he still had to watch.
He had just bought a TV, and his neighbors wanted to join in the fun and watch it. He couldn't chase them away, but he had to be on guard against them.
Even though there is nothing valuable in the room now.
Seeing this, the little girl and Lin Xiuqin also followed with their bowls in hand.
"Awang, it smells so good, fried pork with chili peppers, you have a great life!"
A middle-aged man smelled the fragrance of the food, looked at the food in Chen Wang's bowl, and couldn't help swallowing.
"You are talking nonsense. Everyone knows that Awang has been very lucky in hunting recently. He must have no shortage of meat!"
"That's right. We've already bought a TV. What's wrong with eating meat?"
"Awang's wife is such a good cook. It looks delicious. Damn, I just ate it. I'm hungry again just by smelling it."
"Awang, change the channel. This program is boring. We can't understand the foreign language. I heard there is a channel showing Journey to the West. Let's watch it!"
As soon as Lao Qiao said this, others immediately spoke up in agreement and wanted to watch Journey to the West.
Chen Wang then remembered that the most classic 1982 version of Journey to the West seemed to have been broadcast in that year.
"Journey to the West should also be broadcast on CCTV. I can't find it even if I change channels. And there are only a few channels."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"So when will it be broadcast?"
Uncle Qiao asked impatiently.
"I don't know either, maybe later!"
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Awang, can we watch more TV here today?"
A middle-aged woman asked with a smile.
Chen Wang smiled, nodded and agreed, "Of course, but at the latest, nine o'clock. We are tired after going out today, and I have to go into the mountains tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early."
"I understand."
"No problem, we'll just watch till 9 o'clock."
"Awang, thank you for letting us experience what it's like to watch TV."
