"Tiezhu... why is this TV so big!" Zhang Youde said in a trembling voice.
"Hehehe...otherwise how can we call it a big color TV?" Zhang Tiezhu said proudly.
The more shocked his grandfather was, the more Zhang Tiezhu felt a sense of accomplishment and the happier he felt.
"Isn't this... quite expensive?"
"Fortunately, it's only a small amount of money!"
"My grandson is going to be successful, okay, okay..." Zhang Youde smiled from ear to ear.
"Master, you come into the house, and I will move it for you." Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile, and he moved the TV to the room where his grandfather slept.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents, one is chopping meat and the other is picking vegetables, both with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Tiezhu placed the TV on the wooden cabinet in Zhang Youde's bedroom, then plugged in the power and began to install the large pot lid.
I have tried it before at home, so I am familiar with the process and it was all done in a short time.
The big color TV is turned on, and there are programs inside...
"Master, that's good. From now on, you can just watch TV at home if you have nothing to do." Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile.
"This is good... Tiezhu has grown up, made money, and knows how to respect his grandfather." Zhang Youde burst into tears as he laughed, sitting on the edge of the kang, watching the program on the TV.
"Hehe...this is all trivial. Come on, I'll teach you!"
Zhang Tiezhu took the remote control and walked to his grandfather with a smile, teaching the old man how to use it.
In Zhang Tiezhu's eyes, his grandfather probably couldn't understand the radio except for the flashlight. Teaching the old man to use the TV remote control was definitely a big job.
But it turns out... Zhang Youde is very smart and learned everything after just reading it once.
"Is this right? Tiezhu?" Zhang Youde asked with a smile.
"Okay, no wonder I'm so smart. After working on it for a long time, I just let you do it!" Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile.
The last time I came to see his father, he was cornered by Huang Tianxiang.
In the blink of an eye, it’s already the New Year.
"Hahaha...that's, that's..." Zhang Youde said with a smile.
During the Chinese New Year in previous years, the whole family would get together, eat some stir-fried vegetables in the afternoon, and then wait until 12 o'clock in the evening with nothing to do, set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.
The family has never watched the Spring Festival Gala together.
Therefore, buying a Taiwanese color TV so that the family can watch the Spring Festival Gala together in the evening has become Zhang Tiezhu's small wish for many years.
Of course, he never mentioned this little wish to anyone.
After all, for a grown man to be so pretentious, that is definitely not Zhang Tiezhu’s style!
Zhang Youde watched the TV program with a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents were still preparing dumpling fillings and rolling out dumpling wrappers... After wrapping the dumplings, they took them outside to freeze them, and then they started preparing the dishes to be eaten later.
Because Zhang Tiezhu brought a bunch of meat and vegetables, the family could add more vegetables in the afternoon.
Zhang Tiezhu stayed with the old man in the bedroom for a while, and then he ran to the kitchen and planned to start a fight.
At this time, Zhang Tiezhu missed Miao Fu... If he brought that ghost, wouldn't the whole family be able to rest now?
"Dad, Mom, let me help you." Zhang Tiezhu said cheerfully.
"No, you go to the house to accompany your grandfather. He kept talking about you when you didn't come." Zhang Tiezhu's father said.
"Yes, go and spend more time with your grandpa. We are busy here." Zhang Tiezhu's mother said.
The two couples are washing and chopping vegetables, moving quickly.
"Okay... then call me if you are busy." Zhang Tiezhu didn't say much and went back to the house to watch TV with his grandfather.
Zhang Tiezhu actually likes watching TV very much, especially movies with gangland themes.
Before, he, Zhou Zheng, and Liu Dacheng would go to Lin Liang's house all night long to watch DVDs together.
"Tiezhu, are you hungry?" Zhang Youde asked.
According to custom, children on New Year's Eve have to wait until the afternoon to have lunch.
"I'm not hungry, it's okay..." Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile.
"Okay, I have to take a nap, you see..." Zhang Youde yawned, handed the remote control to Zhang Tiezhu, ran to the kang and lay down.
Zhang Tiezhu took the remote control with a smile and started changing channels.
"The big pot lid is so useful..."
Zhang Tiezhu lamented that there were so many TV programs, and then he changed to a channel dedicated to showing movies.
A Hong Kong movie, Young and Dangerous, is being played inside...
The carefree Liangkun is saying: I am very angry now...
Zhang Tiezhu couldn't take his eyes off it, good guy...artificial fire extinguisher.
He wants it too!!
...
Time flies, and at 3:30 in the afternoon, a sumptuous meal is ready.
Zhang Youde was woken up in a daze, and Zhang Tiezhu went out to set off the cannon.
"Crack" "Crack"......
The firecrackers went off, and the sound was deafening. After setting off the firecrackers, Zhang Tiezhu fired a few kicks.
"Bang" "Pfft"......
After doing this, Zhang Tiezhu returned to the house and the family sat down to eat together.
There are four people in total, which is different from other families.
At Zhang Youde's age, it is common to have five or six children, but he only has one son.
"Tiezhu, eat more..." Zhang Youde said with a smile.
"Okay...Master, you too."
"..."
The grandparents and grandchildren were enjoying themselves happily, and Zhang Tiezhu's parents were smiling.
The meal was finished in half an hour.
After eating, Zhang Tiezhu and his grandfather went into the house and watched TV together.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents put away the dishes and chopsticks, and everything was the same as in previous years.
The only difference is that there is an NTU color TV at home.
After Zhang Tiezhu's parents finished cleaning up, they did not enter the house, but sat by the stove to warm themselves up.
Zhang Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, then went out and called his parents: "Dad, Mom, you guys come in and watch TV together."
In previous years, there was no TV, and everyone in the family sat in the same place. But this year is different. There is a TV at home. Wouldn't it be nice for the family to get together and watch TV?
"Yeah, come in, let's watch together..." Zhang Youde's voice came from the room.
Zhang Tiezhu's parents nodded and followed him into the house.
The family sat on the edge of the Kang, watching TV...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala was shown.
Watching all kinds of interesting skits and cross talk, the whole family was so happy that they couldn’t open their mouths from ear to ear.
Zhang Tiezhu felt the warmth and happiness that he had not seen for a long time.
At 11:30 p.m., Zhang Tiezhu's parents went to cook dumplings. The custom here is to wait until 12 p.m. to eat.
"Tie Zhu, come with me..." Zhang Youde said softly.
"Okay." Zhang Tiezhu followed his grandfather to the warehouse.
The warehouse was dark, and a piece of red cloth could be vaguely seen, as if it were covering something.
"Kowtow... Tiezhu." Zhang Youde said slowly.
"Okay." Zhang Tiezhu nodded.
It happens like this every New Year's Eve. On the night of New Year's Eve, I kowtow to the red cloth in the warehouse.
