On this day, He Yuzhu took the cardboard box containing the TV out of the car and walked towards the yard.
As soon as I walked into the front yard, I met the third uncle.
"Zhuzi, what are you holding?" the third uncle asked curiously.
"Isn't it written on it?" He Yuzhu said.
The third uncle took a closer look and said in surprise: "It's a TV. How much does it cost?"
"It's about four hundred yuan. Why, the third uncle also wants to buy one? This is a twelve-inch one. If you buy a nine-inch one, it will be a hundred yuan cheaper." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
"I can't afford it." The third uncle shook his head.
"My son clamored to watch TV and asked me to buy it. I happened to have a TV ticket in my hand, so I bought one so that the children could have something to watch," He Yuzhu said.
"Third uncle, I won't tell you anymore. It's tiring to hold her all the time. I'm leaving first."
He Yuzhu walked towards the middle courtyard holding the TV.
"Si Zhu is so lucky. He resigned from his job with Lin Fan and actually got rich. He was able to afford a TV set." The third uncle said with some sourness.
"My monthly salary is several hundred, which is enough to buy a TV a month." The third aunt came out of the house and said to the third uncle.
"Next year, our family will also buy a TV. Don't buy a 12-inch one, just a nine-inch one." The third uncle said.
He Yuzhu walked into the middle courtyard holding the TV and happened to see He Aiguo.
"Dad, what good things did you bring to my house?" He Aiguo said with a smile.
"TV, do you like it?" He Yuzhu smiled.
"TV? Did you buy it?" He Aiguo asked in surprise. This was not a few kilograms of meat or a chicken, but a TV worth several hundred yuan.
"Of course it's a TV. Why should I carry this?" He Yuzhu said.
"Mom, Mom, dad bought a TV for our family." He Aiguo shouted into the room, and his voice could be heard by almost the whole hospital.
Qin Huairu heard her son's cry and walked out of the house.
"Zhuzi, why did you buy such an expensive thing?" Qin Huairu said slightly reproachfully.
"No matter how expensive something is, it can be compared to the children and you." He Yuzhu said with a smile. He bought it for about four hundred yuan. Anyway, his monthly salary is high.
And Lin Fan also promised him that as long as he had enough money to open a store, Lin Fan would definitely support him.
When the time comes, I will also open a braised meat shop and let Qin Huairu, Banggen and others go there, so that everyone in the family will have a job.
After saying that, He Yuzhu walked into the house, took out the TV set from the carton, found a suitable place, and put it down.
The 12-inch TV has a red box, which looks much better than the 9-inch gray one.
Plug in the power, unplug the antenna, adjust it a little and you're good to go.
It was the first time for brothers He Aiguo and He Jianguo to watch TV. They were very excited and couldn't bear to look away from the TV screen, just like when He Wenxin watched TV before.
"Don't be too close, it's bad for your eyesight, and don't look at them for too long. Your main task now is to study." He Yuzhu reminded.
"I will control the time they watch TV every day." Qin Huairu said, she is still very strict with her two sons.
After a while, the aunts, aunts, and children in the courtyard all came to He Yuzhu's house. They had never watched TV and they were all very curious about it.
"It's like watching a movie, it's really magical."
"This is much more convenient than watching a movie. If you want to watch it, you can just open it without going out."
"I don't have a TV ticket at home, otherwise I would buy one."
"Even if I give you a TV ticket, can you afford it? A TV like this costs about 400 yuan, and it takes your family a long time to raise so much money."
"......."
The children couldn't bear to look away from the TV screen, but these aunties and ladies didn't forget to comment a few words while watching.
…………
Backyard, Xu Damao's house.
"Isn't it just a broken TV? As for the loud noise? I'll buy one tomorrow too." Xu Damao said angrily. He didn't like He Yuzhu's family.
"Does our family really want to buy a TV?" Qin Jingru asked.
"Of course I want to buy it. Can I lose to Silly Pillar?" Xu Damao said.
"But our family doesn't have TV tickets." Qin Jingru said, it's not enough to just have money, you also have to have tickets.
"The director of our cinema has the tickets in his hand. With my relationship with him, if I invite him out for a meal tomorrow, am I afraid that I won't be able to get the tickets?" Xu Damao said with a confident smile.
"When our family buys a TV, many people will definitely come to our house to buy a TV." Qin Jingru said with a smile.
"You prodigal bitch, you don't need to use electricity to watch TV. Besides, why should we let them watch our TV?" Xu Damao scolded in displeasure.
"Yes, then let's watch with the door closed." Qin Jingru said.
...
The news that He Yuzhu bought a TV set spread in the compound.
They didn't expect that He Yuzhu could still afford such an expensive TV set after quitting his job. Is this really such a profitable personal business?
When Lin Fan resigned as factory director and He Yuzhu resigned as director, people in the yard were still talking about how these two people had left such good jobs to work in personal finance.
This is not like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds. The iron rice bowl is no longer needed. The key lies in the leadership of the steel rolling mill. Then life is not just normal.
Although they didn't say it in front of them, they laughed at them secretly, saying that Lin Fan and He Yuzhu didn't know what they were doing, and they might lose their jobs if they failed to open the store.
But now after so long, Lin Fan and He Yuzhu are fine, and Lin Fan's business is getting bigger and bigger. Lin Fan's Braised Vegetable Restaurant is famous in Sijiu City.
No, He Yuzhu, a chef, could actually bring home a TV set, and He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu didn't show much distress.
In other words, this braised vegetable restaurant made He Yuzhu transfer a lot of money, so these few hundred quick bucks were nothing to He Yuzhu.
This time, the courtyard became more lively, and people came up with different ideas.
Since Lin Fan can open a braised vegetable restaurant, they can also open another store, or ask Lin Fan for help to open a braised vegetable restaurant.
He and Lin Fan can help others open a store. They are neighbors who have lived in the same yard for decades, so there is no reason not to help them.
If they could be like Lin Fan, wouldn't their family be able to buy a TV set and make others envious?
But as soon as these words came out, someone poured cold water on them.
"Ha~ You still expect Lin Fan to help you. Have you forgotten how you treated Lin Fan during the earthquake? How did Lin Fan treat you?"
"I think you should give up this idea as soon as possible. I know Lin Fan better than you."
Everyone heard this and looked at the speaker one after another.
This person is not a person, but the great master Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai is a little disappointed with the people in the courtyard now. You offended Lin Fan during the earthquake, and now you actually want Lin Fan to help. You really don't know how shameless you are.
Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, but patted his butt and left.
They have been neighbors for many years, and there are some things he doesn't want to say more.
The rest of the group looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they left.
