"Mom, can I watch it for two more hours? Usually my brothers have to go to school and there's no one to play with me, so I can just watch TV by myself at home, okay?" Goudan nestled in Zeng Wenjuan's arms and acted coquettishly.
Zeng Wenjuan also hugged Goudan tightly. When winter came, Goudan became like a small heater, keeping him warm.
Goudan saw Zeng Wenjuan hugging him and thought there was hope. He rubbed Zeng Wenjuan's face and said in a sweet voice: "Mom, is it okay? Is it okay? I just need to watch TV for four hours!"
"What if you looked at it too much?" Zeng Wenjuan did not answer directly, but asked Goudan instead.
Goudan blinked his big eyes, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Then mom, please help me check the time. When the time is up, turn off the TV, and then go to learn to read. I only turn on the TV for 4 hours a day, so I will definitely not watch more than that."
"You said it yourself, so don't say later that it was your mom who didn't let you watch TV." Zeng Wenjuan said in a serious tone.
Goudan hugged Zeng Wenjuan and said coquettishly: "I definitely won't. I only watch it for four hours a day. I definitely won't watch it more than that."
"Okay, but you have to watch it separately every day. If you watch it together, it will take too long. You can watch it for two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, or two hours in the evening." Zeng Wenjuan smiled with her eyes and slightly curved her lips. She raised two fingers and said to Goudan.
"Mom, I really love you. You are so good to me." Goudan hugged Zeng Wenjuan tightly and kissed her on the face twice.
Zhao Jianguo witnessed and quickly started to pick it up: "Okay, now that we have agreed on the time to watch TV, we should clean and tidy up the table in the living room. We will put the TV there tomorrow."
"That table may be a bit low. How about moving out the wooden box in the room? It can be a perfect place to put the TV." Zeng Wenjuan looked in the direction where Zhao Jianguo's finger was pointing and said with some concern.
"That's fine, we'll just move the wooden box out. Let's tidy it up now. Tomorrow morning after breakfast, they will deliver the batteries and help us install them." Zhao Jianguo nodded after hearing this.
Zhao Jianguo and Zeng Wenjuan started to tidy up the living room. Goudan also joined in excitedly. Although he was not very strong, he enjoyed helping to take some small items and put the toys in order.
Zeng Wenjuan took a rag from the kitchen and carefully wiped the wooden box that would become the new home of the TV. As she wiped, she said, "This wooden box was made when my parents got married. I also took it with me when I joined the army. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."
"Then when Goudan grows up, he will make a wooden box for his mother." Goudan immediately said like a lackey after hearing this.
"Haha...Mom, you don't need to beat me. When you get married, you can beat her for her." Zeng Wenjuan laughed out loud when she heard Goudan's words. She was very pleased that the child she raised was so filial.
"I won't have a wife." Goudan said stubbornly with his face wrinkled like a little bun.
"How could that be? When you grow up, you will meet a girl who shares your similarities with you, and then you two will become a couple. Then you will get married, start a family, and have a baby as cute as you." Zeng Wenjuan said to Goudan gently and delicately.
"I won't, I love my mother the most." Goudan was too young and didn't understand that there was a difference between love and love. He just shook his head stupidly.
"You little bastard! How can your mom and dad love you the same as your wife? Hurry up and get dad a rag so he can clean up the dust." Zhao Jianguo couldn't stand it any longer. It was bad enough that this little bastard was always trying to steal his wife, but now, while he was working so hard here, he was showing his loyalty over there.
After hearing this, Goudan ran to the kitchen and took a rag and handed it to Zhao Jianguo: "Dad, give it to me."
After Zhao Jianguo cleaned the table, he followed Zeng Wenjuan and ran. The wooden box was lifted onto the table, and he had just enough height to sit on the sofa and watch TV.
"This location is perfect. That wooden box seems to be made for the TV. After putting the TV in it, you can also put some small things next to it. You can put some flowers and grass there." Zeng Wenjuan leaned on the sofa, tried to look over there and said with a smile.

"Be careful when moving this, it's a big item. No one can afford the compensation if it gets bumped or scratched!" A man said loudly as he directed the others to move the TV over.
"Thank you so much for your help in moving the TV up here. Come and have a glass of water!" Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile as she poured each of them a cup of tea after seeing them put the TV up.
The man who was originally directing them heard this and waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, no need. Let's install the TV first so you can watch it earlier."
Zeng Wenjuan saw this and put the water on the table and said with a smile: "Then I'll put the water here first, and you can drink it if you are thirsty!"
"Okay, okay. Thank you, sister-in-law." The man nodded with a smile.
The few people were really dedicated. They didn't even look at the glasses of water before they got busy. Some of them pulled the wires to the top floor, some were adjusting the TV and checking how many channels the receiver could receive.
"Sister-in-law, the signal here is good. We can receive signals from five channels, including the local channels you usually watch, as well as channels for national news or cartoons that children like to watch." The man said with a smile after pressing a few channels with the remote control.
"There are so many of them! That's really great. The money was not wasted." After hearing this, Zeng Wenjuan walked over and said with a smile.
Goudan happily took the remote control from the man and started pressing the cartoon channel. The Trumpeter started playing immediately.
"Wow! Mom, it's for the trumpet player. I want to see this." Goudan said happily while holding Zeng Wenjuan's hand.
Zeng Wenjuan smiled and turned the hourglass over, then looked at Goudan and said seriously: "Then start watching now, and turn off the TV after two hours!"
Goudan nodded happily: "Okay, I will definitely do it." He still underestimated the appeal of watching TV.
The man and several other men who helped install the TV packed up their tools and said to Zhao Jianguo: "Zhao Tuan, we have installed the TV, so we will leave first. If you have any problems with the TV in the future, just come to me."
"Well, drink some water and eat something before going back!" Zhao Jianguo said with a smile as he looked at the snacks and tea on the table.
