As expected, Li Jinfeng's proposal to buy a tape recorder was supported by her two cousins.
However, tape recorders were not very popular at that time.
Not to mention tape recorders, even radios required tickets to purchase.
"I'm afraid this tape recorder isn't going to be easy to use!" Da'an sighed. "I've never even seen a tape recorder before, even at Master's place!"
Da'an's master is Wang Guofu. He is an engineer from several state-owned factories in the provincial capital, but he doesn't have such a talent. It would be even more difficult to find one from others.
Xiao Wu also said: "I haven't seen it with Master either!"
Li Jinfeng: "I'll call Professor Guan and ask him if he has any."
Professor Guan is an expert in radio. In the past, any electronic products from the state-owned factories in Shanghai would be sent to him for testing before being mass-produced.
The radio back then was one, and maybe the tape recorder is one now too.
Li Jinfeng went to Zhou Qiao's place to make a phone call. When Professor Guan heard that the tape recorder was for study, he immediately said, "I don't have one, but I know a friend who has an imported one. I'll get it for you!"
Li Jinfeng: "Professor Guan, please ask how much money it is and I will transfer it to you!"
Before leaving, Li Jinfeng told Professor Guan that she was going on a long trip to handle some matters and would not be at school for at least a month.
It's still her vacation time.
Professor Guan: "There's no need for money. I'm not short of money, and neither is he! But since you've asked for this thing, you have to be down-to-earth and make the most of it. Don't waste the kindness of two of us old men!"
Li Jinfeng quickly spoke up, "You're right. I'll definitely remind my brothers to study hard! Professor Guan, could you help me find some cassette tapes? We need to record the lessons, and I don't think they'd want to erase them."
Professor Guan: "Don't worry, I've already got you a tape recorder, and I'll definitely find a way to help you with the tapes too!"
A tape recorder was not cheap at that time, and since it was imported, it would cost at least 500 yuan.
The tape probably costs about one dollar each, so this time, she really owes Professor Guan a favor.
Fortunately, he still loved drinking tea. Li Jinfeng had a little Dahongpao left and planned to go back and give some to Professor Guan, and also buy some other things to bring to his house.
Li Jinfeng hung up the phone. Da'an and Xiaowu looked at her with admiration and surprise in their eyes.
"Sister, did Professor Guan really agree to help us get a tape recorder?"
Li Jinfeng nodded. "Yes, Professor Guan is just like Uncle Wu. As long as you're willing to learn, they'd rather suffer losses themselves. This time, Professor Guan is asking his friends for a tape recorder so that you can study hard. If you come across students who are eager to learn but lack the necessary resources, you should also help them, understand?"
If someone does you a favor and doesn’t expect anything in return, it doesn’t mean the favor doesn’t exist.
If you really want to repay someone, then continue this good deed and benefit others.
"Sister, we will remember this!" Daan and Xiaowu spoke at the same time.
While waiting for the tape recorder to be sent, Li Jinfeng went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
The old couple no longer work and just walk around and look around.
With Chenxiang still at home, life is pretty comfortable.
When Li Jinfeng came to visit, Aunt Shen prepared a lot of delicious food for her.
At the dinner table, Li Jinfeng and Zhou Quan talked about things in the south.
