Tang Zhan carefully opened the carton. The carton was well protected around and the TV was well protected.
"Oh my! This TV is much bigger than the one at Sister Zhang's house!"
Tang's mother slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Fourth Brother, hurry up and move it to the main room. Don't let this precious item get dusty!"
Mrs. Lan was obviously also very interested in the TV and nodded in agreement.
"Right, right! The more precious the item, the more delicate it is! You have to be careful with it."
Lan Guoer looked at the happy faces of Tang's mother and Old Madam Lan, and secretly blamed herself in her heart!
If she had known that the elderly would be so happy to see a TV, she should have bought it for them long ago! No matter if it was clear or not, or what color it was!
Life is short, every moment of happiness counts!
Seeing that everyone was attracted to the TV and went into the main room, Lan Guoer began to look through the other things in the wooden box.
Apart from snacks and toys for the three children, the rest were mostly clothes.
There are down jackets and thermal underwear designed by Lan Guoer, as well as the latest popular clothing and bags from abroad.
Seeing the familiar Donkey and Xiangnainai logos come into view, Lan Guoer was stunned for a moment! It was like waking up from a dream, as if she had just been through a different world.
However, her third uncle is indeed very generous!
Lan Guoer looked at the Donkey brand bag in her hand and couldn't help but sigh!
She clearly remembered that this bag was an early limited edition of the BDSM brand, and it was sold for tens of millions of yuan at an auction later.
Unexpectedly, in this era, her third uncle actually gave her one.
Although she had never seen the other ones in later generations, their styles were very generous and practical, and they were very good for daily use.
By the time she finished looking through the things, Tang Zhan had already installed the TV.
Televisions these days all require antennas. Several metal racks are intertwined and erected on the roof, and you need to align them correctly to receive clear television broadcasts.
"Good! I saw a figure."
"Ouch, it doesn't work again, turn back a little more!"
"Okay! Right here!"
......Tang's mother stood at the door, directing Tang Zhan on the roof to adjust the position of the antenna. After much effort, the CCTV was adjusted to be clear.
But during this period of time, there was only a colorful ball on the TV screen.
"I borrowed the TV newspaper! Look, the daily program schedule is all written on it!"
At this time, Qinghe had borrowed the TV newspaper from Sister Zhang's house under the arrangement of Tang's mother.
Lan Guoer couldn't help but take a look and shook her head!
She knew there were few programs at that time, but she didn't expect there would be so few TV programs in 1977.
From Monday to Saturday, there are no programs until after 7 p.m., with the TV news at 7 p.m., followed by some documentaries or feature films, etc. Only Sunday morning programs are scheduled, and the content is almost the same as the afternoon program.
In a word, apart from domestic and international news, the programs are few and monotonous. For Lan Guoer, there is really nothing to watch.
But this is only for her!
The rest of the family didn't think so! Even Tang Zhan and Old Man Tang stared at the TV screen with shining eyes, as if they could see a flower in it!
"Why is time passing so slowly today? When will it get dark?" Tang's mother couldn't wait to watch TV and was pacing back and forth in the room.
The three little guys were a little curious about this huge TV at first, but when they saw the still ball on it, they instantly lost interest.
There is a tablet in the space, and the cartoons on it are much better than this!
"Mom, where's the chocolate that my third uncle gave me?"
The little ones then turned around and looked for other things in the box.
Lan Guoer gave each of them one chocolate, then put away the two large boxes of chocolates and placed them on the top shelf of the cabinet.
Children have very weak resistance to candy, and eating too much is bad for their teeth.
It was not until everyone lost interest in the ball on the TV that Lan Guoer walked in carrying the clothes sent by the Third Master.
"Third uncle also sent clothes to everyone. Do you want to try them?" Lan Guoer asked, raising the pink down jacket on her arm.
"Oh! The color of this dress is so bright!" Qinghe clasped his hands together and exclaimed in admiration.
In this day and age, it is rare to see brightly colored clothes in gray, black, blue, and white all over the streets.
"Auntie Qing, try this one. I think this color suits you very well!"
Lan Guoer took out a sapphire blue down jacket and handed it to her.
Qinghe took it and said, "Oh! Why is this dress so light and fluttery? Can it be strong and warm?"
She said as she shook the clothes in her hands, her face full of confusion.
Hearing her say this, Tang's mother also picked up the dress in her hand and lifted it curiously. "It's true! How can this dress be so light?"
"Mom, this is yours!"
Lan Guo'er didn't answer their questions. She took out another ochre-red dress and handed it to Tang's mother. "You can't tell whether it's warm or not by looking at it, Mom, Aunt Qing! You'll know after you try it on."
Lan Guoer raised her eyebrows at the two of them and continued to get clothes for Old Madam Lan.
Old Madam Lan had fair skin, so Lan Guoer chose a grape purple dress for her.
Men didn't have much to choose from! The few pieces that came were all black, just in different sizes.
Lan Guoer took one for each of Old Man Tang and Tang Zhan and asked them to try them on.
"Ouch! It's only been a while, but I'm already sweating!" Tang's mother touched her clothes and said in disbelief.
"Me too! Me too!" Qinghe's eyes widened in surprise. "Guo'er, what on earth is this dress made of? How come it's so warm?"
"This is called a down jacket!" Lan Guoer didn't keep them in suspense, "It's made of wind-resistant material on the outside and duck down on the inside, so it has such a good warmth-keeping effect.
Wearing it, you won’t feel cold even in Heilongjiang Province, let alone Kyoto! "
"Really?" Tang's mother carefully touched the clothes on her body, and then took them off immediately when she thought of something.
"Then you have to save it well and wear it when you go home for the New Year!"
In this day and age, who would be willing to wear new clothes if it wasn't the New Year or any other festival? Especially such expensive clothes!
Lan Guoer knew that they were reluctant to wear it!
But aren't these clothes made for warmth? They weren't made just for the New Year! Only when things are put to good use can their value be realized!
She shook her head. "Mom, don't worry about wearing it! This dress is very durable! If you don't wear it and catch a cold, it will be really not worth it!"
"Guo'er is right!"
Madam Lan patted Tang's mother's hand and said, "If your clothes get worn out, you can always buy new ones! If your body gets frozen, it will be hard to recover!"
"The children will be the ones in trouble then! Just think about the children and listen to them!"
