"Xiaohong, just listen here. I'm going to cook."
The reluctance in Liu Guixiang's eyes was no less than that of her daughter-in-law.
Zhang Shengli pursed his lips, trying hard to control his tears from falling.
Today is his first day of school, and he has a lot to say to his family, but looking at the current situation, he probably doesn't need to.
My grandparents and mother obviously care more about this wooden box than myself.
"Grandma, the radio isn't that valuable. It can be moved. It's just as easy to move it to the kitchen door."
Zhang Shuguang also walked in holding his sister.
"Grandson, you can't move it and break it, right?"
Zhang Qingchun is different from Liu Guixiang and Su Hong. He has seen the world.
The Song family had a phonograph back then. Mr. Song said that one of them cost dozens of dollars.
In order to play the phonograph, you need records. The radio bought by the eldest grandson looks more advanced than the phonograph.
"Grandpa, this thing is very strong. I just put it down in the bucket of the tricycle and pulled it here."
Zhang Shuguang said lightly.
"You little brat, you're so careless! If this thing breaks, it will be too late to regret it."
There is no three-guarantee service these days, let alone seven-day no-questions-asked return and exchange.
If the radio is really broken, the county town cannot repair it at all and it needs to be taken to a repair department in the city.
Liu Guixiang and Su Hong went to the kitchen to cook. Zhang Shuguang put the radio at the kitchen door. The old man squatted next to the radio with his grandson and granddaughter.
"Big brother, he's not talking anymore."
As the storyteller said, "If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next episode," the voice on the radio suddenly stopped and turned into a sound of electricity.
"The radio station is closed. If you want to listen again, you have to wait until the afternoon."
At that time, the radio station did not have recording equipment, and all programs were broadcast live.
Whether it is opera, crosstalk or storytelling, the artists are not invited to perform live in the recording studio.
The lunch was simple, still just gnawing on big bones. Zhang Shuguang was not interested, but the others were gnawing on them with gusto.
After dinner, Zhang Shuguang took his younger brother to take a nap until their grandmother woke them up.
The two brothers got up and washed their faces. As soon as they walked out of the yard, they saw Zhang Jianguo squatting by the wall.
"Jianguo, how long have you been waiting here?"
The weather in early September was still hot, and Zhang Jianguo's little face was red.
"Brother, I didn't wait long."
Zhang Jianguo got up from the ground and brushed the dust off his butt.
"Hurry up and get in the car. Take these candies and eat them at school."
Zhang Shuguang likes Zhang Jianguo quite a bit. Although his father is the team leader, he is not arrogant at all and speaks and acts very properly.
His father told him not to go to other people's houses casually, so the little guy always waited outside.
"Brother, I don't want it. Last time you gave me milk candy, my dad scolded me, saying that milk candy is very expensive."
Zhang Jianguo got on the tricycle, turned his little face to the side, and tried not to look at the candy in Zhang Shuguang's hand.
"It's okay, just take what I give you. I don't need it."
Zhang Shuguang stuffed the candy directly into his schoolbag.
"Jianguo, take it. I have several in my schoolbag."
Zhang Shengli took out the candy from his schoolbag and showed it to Zhang Jianguo.
"Thank you, brother."
Zhang Shuguang sent the two little ones to school and rode his bike back home, only to find that his grandfather had not gone to work.
"Grandpa, are you feeling unwell? Or is there something wrong?"
The old man is a person who can't sit still. No matter what Zhang Shuguang said, the old man refused to rest.
I don’t know what happened these two days. I didn’t go to work yesterday afternoon and I didn’t go this afternoon either.
"It's okay, grandpa is in good health. It's just that Zhang Xiangdong's family keeps coming up to me, pretending to be filial sons and grandsons. It makes me upset."
The old man squatted on the threshold of the main room, puffing on his cigarette.
"Grandpa, if you don't want to see them, then just rest at home. Chat with your old brothers and play chess. Isn't that nice?"
It would be very easy for Zhang Shuguang to help his grandfather solve the problem. He might not even have to do it himself. Just by mentioning it casually, many people would come forward to teach Zhang Xiangdong's family a lesson.
But Zhang Shuguang didn't intend to do so. He would be more than happy if his grandfather could stop and rest.
"Okay, then Grandpa will take a few days off."
In order to avoid his eldest son and his family, Zhang Qingchun has been working hard these days, and goes home after completing his tasks.
The old man broke all the records of the production team's labor in this way. In Zhangzhuang, no one had ever done farm work so fast.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shuguang did not go out. He taught his grandparents and mother how to use the radio, how to find radio stations, how to adjust the volume, and let them practice.
After picking up his younger brother from school, they had a lively dinner. Zhang Shuguang cut a watermelon, and the family ate the watermelon while listening to the radio.
Just as the family went back to their rooms to sleep, Zhang Xiangnan drove the jeep and finally entered Shandong Province.
"Captain, at this rate, you'll be able to have breakfast at home tomorrow morning."
Guard Li Lixin's eyes were bloodshot and he looked tired.
"Xiao Li, you've worked hard these past two days. Take a good rest when you get home."
Zhang Xiangnan's tone sounded a little guilty. He had hardly stopped along the way because he wanted to get home earlier.
"Captain, do we still need to be so polite? I've been with you since the first day I joined the army. I can never repay you for your care for me."
