Zhang Yu had no choice but to come directly to Li Huai and the others, since Li Huai couldn't easily take a long leave of absence.
If they wait until Li Huai has time to see him, who knows when that will be.
Anyway, he had a lot of free time, and after achieving some results, he quickly came to find Li Huai.
After spending so much time in Shenzhen, everyone has become more sophisticated.
At first glance, Li Huai almost didn't recognize him because of his clothes and sunglasses.
And the things he brought caused a much bigger reaction.
The establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone attracted not only Zhang Yu, but also many other people with dreams.
Shenzhen is relatively close to Hong Kong, and there are many rare things from Hong Kong. When Zhang Yu came to visit Li Huai and the others, how could he not bring some gifts for the children?
Xiao Duo has many princess dresses, dolls, leather shoes, high-end toys for the older, second, and third children, and electronic watches that all of them own.
In addition to these, Zhang Yu also brought Zhao Qinglan and the others large gifts, namely imported color TVs and washing machines.
To be honest, it's not that Zhao Qinglan can't afford these things now.
As for color TVs, she felt there weren't many channels and programs worth watching, so she was too lazy to buy one.
However, since Zhang Yu had kindly brought the gift, she would naturally accept his kindness.
Their relationship with Zhang Yu was completely informal.
After Zhang Yu arrived, Zhao Qinglan prepared some snacks to go with the drinks that evening, and Li Huai invited his brother-in-law Zhou Jingsheng to drink and chat with him.
Any one of Zhang Yu's experiences in Shenzhen would be enough to captivate Li Huai and Zhou Jingsheng.
While they were drinking, the eldest son couldn't resist running out several nights to show off his watches and toys to the children in the residential area.
Believe it or not, it really made a lot of kids envious.
As for the imported color TV and washing machine, Zhao Qinglan hadn't had time to study them yet; they were still in the box.
That evening, Zhang Yu simply set up a four-poster bed in the central hall of Li Huai's house and slept there.
Looking at her own living conditions, where even her children had to squeeze together to sleep, Zhao Qinglan really wanted to pay for a new house herself.
Unfortunately, the area around the military base was all land owned by villagers. It wasn't impossible for them to go to great lengths, but it would easily draw criticism. Zhao Qinglan could only suppress this thought.
The next day, as soon as Zhang Yu woke up, he and Li Huai, who hadn't left home yet, started discussing the color TV.
The children saw the color TV was brought out and all gathered around it with great interest.
No one in the family quarters has a color TV yet. Da Wa and the others had seen black and white TVs when they were in Beijing, but now that they have one at home, and it's in color, they're all eagerly waiting to watch it.
Their signal reception wasn't very good, so after the TV was connected, they went upstairs to install the antenna and other things.
Below, in front of the plugged-in color TV, a crowd of people stood.
Not only Zhao Qinglan's family, but also Zhao Qingzhu brought her daughter over, and Wu Mei and the others who lived nearby also came over.
When Zhang Yu brought the color TV and washing machine yesterday, it caused quite a stir among the residents of the family quarters.
However, Zhao Qinglan herself didn't even take apart the TV yesterday, as she was busy entertaining Zhang Yu, her guest. Others, even if they were curious, were too embarrassed to come over and see anything.
They started installing a TV here today, and everyone around couldn't resist coming to see it.
Li Huai was setting up the antenna on the roof, while Zhang Yu was below watching and operating the television.
As Li Huai moved, a figure suddenly appeared on the snowflake-like screen.
“Yes, yes.”
"It really is colorful, and it looks so bright."
"That's great! I want to buy a color TV too."
"This is an imported product, a foreign brand. It's expensive."
The onlookers were talking about it.
As the hosts, Da Wa and his friends had already taken up their stools and secured the first row.
At first, the TV was kept inside the house, but as more and more people came to see what was going on, Zhao Qinglan and the others had to move the TV to the yard.
That's great, there were no missing people in the yard until they went to sleep at night.
Even when eating, many people squat down with their bowls and chopsticks, watching the food as they eat.
As soon as she lay down that night, Zhao Qinglan became troubled.
"If there are this many people every day, that's not a solution." She didn't care about the electricity used for watching TV; she just disliked the constant chaos caused by having so many family members around.
We can manage for a day or two, but who in the family can endure it in the long run?
Li Huaiyi also found the scene extremely troublesome.
But if you say you don't want everyone to see it, it seems like you're being petty.
"How about this, tomorrow you take the children straight into the city and stay there for a few days. I'll stay at home and lock the door at the military camp during the day. After a few days, when everyone's novelty wears off, you can come back."
That's a good idea. "Alright, the houses in the city are spacious enough, so let's stay in the city for a few more days."
Zhang Yu was also taken into the city by them.
In the city now, besides the storefront they initially bought, Zhao Qinglan and her two sisters each have a courtyard.
After buying it, they had someone clean it up. It has all the basic furniture, but they haven't lived there much.
Now that the whole family is staying here, I had to clean it thoroughly again.
They left early in the morning, and some people wanted to come and watch TV, but the door was locked.
When Li Huai returned, people naturally asked about it. Li Huai said that his wife had taken their friend Zhang Yu into the city for a visit.
Actually, there was nothing to transfer. As soon as Zhao Qinglan and the others entered the city, Zhang Yu just went to Zhao Qinglan's shop to take a look before taking the train away.
