Chapter 68
"Brother, that's a matter of course. I'll grow up in eight years. Then you can keep your word and testify to me." Li Min said, pulling Li Wu beside him.
Li Wu also looked at Li Wen in shock. Although Li Min is still young, he will not be able to become an adult in eight or nine years. But he did not dare to promise to give me a bicycle to me in eight years.
Because he didn't even have one, he even said he would give it to me. But his second brother might be able to do it even if he is not very good at it.
"I want a bicycle too, and I want a bicycle too when I grow up." Li Yong and Li Tao also jumped one after another when they heard about the bicycle.
"Okay, as long as you are obedient, when you are all adults, I will give it to you all." Li Wen smiled and promised to the two little guys.
"What kind of bicycle do you want when you are young? Isn't it nice to play with the diabolo in your hand?" Uncle Er slapped the back of the two little guys and cursed with a smile.
The salesperson at the counter only regarded the jokes of a few children and did not take them seriously. However, she did not expect that Li Wen would really buy three bicycles in her eight years later.
"Okay, go to the appliance counter to buy a radio. Don't mess around with these guys." said his father and Li Wen.
"Okay, go buy a radio." Li Wen didn't argue with the little guys, and followed his father and second uncle to the electrical counter.
"Hello, come to me a Yellow River radio." Li Deyou smiled and said to the salesperson at the electrical counter.
"A radio ticket costs ninety-five yuan." The salesperson looked at Li Wen and his son and didn't leave, and said.
Li Wen quickly took out the money ticket from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson looked at Li Wen in surprise, but unexpectedly it was the money and tickets that the boy took out.
The sales clerk took out a box from under the counter and installed a brand new radio.
He took out the radio, and the salesperson took a few more batteries before he could enter. He pulled out the antenna and turned on the switch. The sound of drama suddenly came from the radio.
"Okay, the quality is fine." The salesperson put the radio in the box and handed it to Li Wen.
"The young man put away the radio, and the battery is also included." The salesperson said with a smile.
"Thank you, Comrade Salesman." Li Wen took the box and handed it to his father.
After buying a radio, Li Deyou kept holding the little guys to move, for fear of breaking them.
After my mother and second aunt bought the fabric, everyone went to the food store and bought some pastries and fruits for the New Year.
After buying things, the family joined in the market again. Because Li Deyou was worried that the radio would keep urging him to go home, everyone gave up and walked out of the city with their shoulders.
On the way back, his father Li Deyou asked his mother Wang Chunmei to hold the radio firmly. He didn't dare to hold it, for fear of falling and breaking the radio.
The little guys were very happy to sit in the ox cart along the way, and several of them sang children's songs.
After a while, the mother and the old lady also started singing Dongfanghong, and for a while, the women and children in the car started to compete.
My father and my second uncle walked in front of the ox cart, discussing the radio excitedly.
The eldest brother, second brother, second sister and others were holding the ox cart, and they were also talking and laughing.
Li Wen walked slowly behind the ox cart. The scene in front of him was very warm, and he enjoyed such a life and enjoyed it.
It was almost dark in winter, and it was only half past five o'clock and it was already dark. The whole family walked and stopped, but it was already evening when they returned to the village.
When they got home, everyone got out of the car. The eldest brother Li Wu drove the ox cart to the village breeding farm.
"Come on, turn on the tape recorder and take a look." The second uncle Li Dezhong said impatiently.
"This radio is so good! Your dad and I used to be working as a laborer in the city and saw it from the flour mill owner."
"At that time, this thing was the real precious item. I heard it was bought with gold bars." The second uncle Li Dezhong looked at the brand new radio and was happy like a child.
"It's really "the swallows flew into the homes of ordinary people in the old days"!" Li Wen smiled and recited a poem.
"What's the matter? Awen, why are you still chewing on Wen?" Li Dezhong scratched his head and said incomprehensible.
"It is to describe the good things used by princes and nobles in the old days, and now we ordinary people can use them." Li Wen explained briefly.
"Yes! The new society is so good. The people are the ones in charge and stand up." Father Li Deyou said with a smile on his face.
In fact, the radio was quite simple at this time. It didn’t have a tall metal shell or a small and exquisite body shape. It was just a wooden box with some electrical buttons.
But it was indeed the first electrical appliance of Li Wen’s family, and it was a large item that was ready in one step.
There is a radio this year and every month, which is extremely shocking when marrying a wife.
In the front hall, adults and children were sitting around the radio. Li Wen pulled out a line and kept debugging.
After a while, the noise disappeared. First, it was a national channel that explained news and current affairs.
Next were two provincial channels. One was talking about the customs of the New Year, and the other was playing opera, which made my father and others pricked up their ears.
Li Wen did not stop, he was testing how many channels he could listen to. At this time, Didi sound came, and Li Wen heard a sweet female announcer telling a story. He immediately guessed that this was the famous "big speaker broadcast" (I changed it for a while, and I understand it)
At this time, the story of the little tiger was told, and the little guys immediately became energetic. They stood up and lay on the table to listen.
Li Wen smiled, and did not stop, and then returned to the first broadcast.
"Dad, this radio can temporarily receive three radio channels, two national channels and one provincial channel." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Awen, hurry up and put it on the opera channel just now!" several adults demanded.
"No, I want to listen to the Children's Channel, Li Yong, Li Tao, and Li Min shouted immediately."
Li Juan didn't understand either. Seeing the little brothers asking together, she also made a fuss.
"Get out of here, what are the radios for the kids?" The second uncle Li Dezhong looked stern and scolded loudly.
"No, no, we often listen to it in the town school." A few little guys rolled on the ground.
Now the second uncle is irritated. At most, Li Tao is the only one little guy, so he can handle it. Today, the four of them can't be punished by him.
"Get up quickly, what do you look like on the ground? Don't you know if this clothes are hard to wash in the middle of winter?"
At this time, the mother and second aunt stood up and picked up the sausage in the corner of the wall, and wanted to beat a few little guys with the sausage.
A few little guys knew that their father would stop hitting him at most, but his mother was really hitting him! They all stood up against the wall in fear.
Today's war is definitely the beginning of a protracted war between adults and children in the family, and battles will definitely not be avoided in the future.
Li Wen, his elder brother, second brother and second sister sat on a stool and ate melons. Anyway, they had story books to pass the time, so they didn't have to listen to the radio at all.
Although my mother and second aunt successfully intimidated several little guys, the battle still did not win.
My father and my second uncle listened to the opera, but the little guys were crying aside. They cried without any leisure.
"Uncle Second, just let them listen for a while. The children's channel will end at most at 7 o'clock, and you will listen at that time." Li Wen looked at the two sides still in a continuous tug-of-war and said a compromise.
"Awen didn't listen to the radio that was rewarded to Awen himself, but asked everyone to listen. Let's listen to Awen's advice." The old lady said.
"Okay, let's listen to Awen." The second uncle Li Dezhong scratched his head and said with a dry smile.
"Come on, come and sit down." Uncle Second waved and asked the little guys standing in the corner to come.
"Awen, what kind of children's channel should you put for them?" Second aunt Cui Yanzi said with a smile.
Li Wen smiled and took the radio and turned it to the children's channel. A sweet voice came out again and was singing.
When the little guys heard it, they immediately stopped sobbing. They wiped their eyes and noses with their sleeves and smiled.
Li Yong and Li Tao are so shameless. They ran over immediately, not afraid of their father anymore.
"Just just listen carefully, don't move. A radio costs nearly 100 yuan and is not enough to sell it." Uncle II hurriedly scolded Li Tao, who stretched out his hand and was about to touch the red light on the phone.
He pulled Li Tao over and slapped him a few times.
Li Tao ran to the other end of the table with tears in his eyes and continued to listen to the radio.
The second uncle also struggled with his face and no longer messed with the little guys. He leaned against the wall and listened to the sweet voices coming from the radio.
At this time, Li Wen found that several small heads were stretched out on both sides of the next door.
"Xiaoqiang, Aaron, what are you doing when you stand on the wall?"
"Brother Wenzi, is your family playing the radio?" Li Qiang laughed.
"You guys just bought the radio today, you're so sharp-edged." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Okay, don't crawl hard anymore. Come to my house to listen to it. It just so happens that this will be a children's channel."
"Okay!" Several little guys quickly got down from the wall.
"These kids! I was so excited when I heard the radio, I was all on the wall." The second uncle Li Dezhong said with a smile.
"You're talking about the baby, you're so embarrassed to say that you're scrambling to listen with my grandson." The old lady sneered.
The little guys were happy to see the old lady supporting her.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Aunt Hua from Uncle Jiu's family and Accountant's wife Song Chunyan walked in with a group of children.
"Second Aunt, we're here to listen to the radio." Song Chunyan walked into the door and said with a smile.
"Chunmei, your living standards are now improving, and there are two changes in three turns and one ring. I won't be able to see them for a long time before I can live together." Aunt Hua said.
"Aunt her, you are so good at speaking. You are the blessing of your children. Come on, sit down quickly!"
Mother Wang Chunmei quickly took out a stool and let her two aunts sit.
Seven or eight little guys rushed to the table, staring at the radio curiously.
These children include the ninth uncle's family, the eighth uncle's family, and other children in the village, all of whom are from three to ten years old. They chatter and talk nonstop.
Some of the little guys have read books and listened to radio in the town, and some have heard of them in the village committee, but they have never seen radio. They are so curious that they are not good at this time.
"This radio is so good. Ayong, we have the best relationship. I will come to your house to listen in the future." Li Qiang said as he flattered Li Yong.
"Okay, as long as I'm here, there's no problem." Li Yong said proudly, patting his chest.
