Before the advent of the cable TV era, because the transmission of TV signals was mainly affected by ground conditions and weather conditions, watching TV was like growing crops that depended on the weather.
In addition to man-made power outages, the most fearful thing for viewers who are keen on TV programs is encountering bad weather.
No, on this windy night, Shui Qing's house was very lively.
When the TV series "Volleyball Girls" was about to start, the TV screen that was turned on suddenly blurred. Not only did the snowflakes increase, but there was also a tingling sound coming from the speaker.
How could Aunt Shui, who was waiting for the show wholeheartedly and staying in the house to wash dishes, endure this?
The old lady greeted me in a hurry.
"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, don't delay!"
Shui Gengsheng hurriedly went to adjust the antenna, but he didn't expect that after a long time of tinkering, the TV showed no improvement.
On the contrary, even the original image began to be distorted, chaotic up and down, and completely turned into a pot of porridge.
Aunt Shui is not in a hurry? She is complaining and complaining.
But what's the use of this? On the contrary, Shui Gengsheng was even more upset. The more he worked on it, the more he finished. In the end, the TV turned into a snowflake and nothing disappeared.
At this time, Shui Qing came up with a sensible suggestion: don't bother with it, just return the antenna to its original position and try fine-tuning it.
Shui Lan and Shui Lian both agreed after hearing this.
One said, "It doesn't matter. When watching a movie in the playground, you can look behind the screen and look backwards, as long as you can understand the story."
Another said, "Having a shadow is much better than not seeing it at all. How can you know where the plot is going?"
Even Shui Xiaoying cried and shouted, "Watch it, watch it. Thunderbolts in the clear sky, meteors and fireballs!"
In this way, Aunt Shui can no longer be picky and immediately approves the implementation of this policy.
Not to mention, this way, the TV is much clearer, and I finally caught up with the opening credits of "Volleyball Girls".
It's just that the adults can overcome difficulties regardless of anything, watch it with gusto, and get involved in the show.
But because Shui Xiaoying is young and has limited understanding, she can't stand the interference of TV noise on her lines.
After watching for a while, she covered her ears and started yelling.
"It's so noisy, it's so noisy! I can't hear what they are saying!"
Having no idea, Aunt Shui poked her husband again and said, "Dad, you have to adjust it, the child can't stand the noise."
Then he sighed and chanted.
"What's wrong with this TV? It was fine when I first bought it. Why is it becoming more and more unclear now? That guy Xiao Wu sold me the TV. It was not a defective product, right?"
And because Shui Geng took action, the TV turned gray again, and Shui Lan lost his temper because his interest was interrupted.
"Mom, if you want me to tell you, it's all up to you. Who asked you to get a cheap deal? You had to buy it from Hong Laosan. No, cheap stuff doesn't mean good stuff."
Of course Aunt Shui didn't like hearing it.
"Look what you said! No matter how cheap it is, it's still over 200 yuan! It's cheap but it's not good? That's not possible! If there is really a quality problem, I have to find that guy to replace it with a better one!"
But now Shui Qing didn't want to do anything anymore. She had to avenge Hong Yanwu.
"Oh, Mom, I'm not like you. At first, you thought the TVs in the store were expensive, and you wanted to buy one but didn't have a TV ticket. That's when I asked Xiao Wu. The TV they had was a serious 'Peony', and the store
What about Xiao Wubai? What else can I choose if it’s sold so cheaply? It’s said to be through internal channels, so there may be a lot of favors involved. Besides, did they give you an invoice? If there is really a quality problem, then I have to go there.
Find a manufacturer. Besides, if you take a step back, a TV ticket can be sold for hundreds of yuan now. You can blame others for this, but you really have to be cheap..."
Seeing that her two daughters were scolding her, Aunt Shui became even more angry. She couldn't lose her face and started to attack the eldest daughter like a barrage of attacks.
"What's the matter, are you talking about your mother? I'm also telling you, no matter what, whoever sells it to me will have to take care of it. Every grievance has its own owner, and if something goes wrong with the old lady, I won't look after the little one.
Who is Wu Zi looking for? Don't keep your elbows turned out all day."
"By the way, I haven't talked about you yet. Do you look like someone who works at Polar Bear? Don't talk about cans, I haven't seen you bring back the juice, and I asked you for a straw and went through the door curtain without making any move. You
How about a cadre? Not as good as a worker."
"Also, you are already twenty-seven, and you are talking about thirty. Why don't you worry about your own affairs? Others should have had their own children long ago, and you are still single, so let your mother
How can you rest assured..."
Well, even Shui Lian can't remain indifferent now.
Out of her closeness to her eldest sister and her gratitude to Hong Yanwu for providing Qiong Yao's novels, she must stand firmly on Shui Qing's side.
"Mom, don't listen to my second sister! After all, the wind is like the rain. What's wrong with the TV? Do you understand? This is because there are too many TVs around us, and they are probably competing for each other's signals."
"Don't bother and scold my eldest sister. My eldest sister is a cadre, not a small citizen. How can I take things home randomly? Isn't that a mistake? Let the workers below see what's going on. Besides, Brother Xiaowu and Brother Quanzi don't do it either.
I took something from the factory..."
"The most important thing... I'm not talking about you. How can you talk nonsense in front of a child? Xiaoying is more than five years old, and she understands more and more that you really need to pay attention to what you say..."
Well, the three daughters are all at odds with him. Isn’t this Aunt Shui full of evil?
No matter who was right and who was not, she felt aggrieved and aggrieved, feeling that she was dragging down three wolf cubs by enduring all the hardships.
When emotions are overflowing, I will shed tears of self-pity.
But as luck would have it, just when he was talking about this, Shui Lian remembered something.
As a result, it not only overcame the technical difficulties of TV signals, but also resolved Aunt Shui's sadness about crying.
"Dad, I remembered. Our classmate said that when the TV in his house was not clear, he asked his father to hold the antenna, and then it became clear. For this matter, he also asked the physics teacher, and the teacher said that the human body
Even capacitors can also enhance the signal. If not, you can try it..."
Not to mention, this is a really great idea.
After hearing this, Shui Gengsheng, who was sweating from the TV signal, held the antenna with one hand and turned it in the air. The TV picture immediately became clear and the "tingling" sound was much quieter.
All the women in the Shui family couldn't help but applaud collectively. "Okay, the effect is much better!"
It's great, but I really can't let it go.
As soon as Shui Gengsheng let go, snowflakes began to fall immediately, making the noise even louder than before.
Aunt Shui immediately tilted her mouth and yelled.
"His father, hurry up and get it done. You are better than the antenna."
Shui Gengsheng, who was sweating from the TV signal, had no choice but to grab the antenna again.
"How about this time?"
Hey, it works immediately, Shui Lan responded immediately.
"Okay, okay, don't let me go again."
Shui Gengsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You won't always hold it like this, right? It's still charged. When I hold it, my hand is a little numb. I said Lian'er, what did your classmate's father do? Do you just keep holding it like this?"
Shui Lian could only shake his head helplessly.
"Yes, numbness is common. But there's nothing wrong with it. It will come back as soon as you let go."
But what's even more amazing is that she tilted her head and thought about it, and then said it again very seriously.
"But... I heard that sometimes when he really can't stand it, his dad has an alternative. That is to hang two or three kilograms of raw pork on the antenna... It seems to work..."
As soon as he said this, Shui Gengsheng's nose was almost so angry that it reached the top of his head.
All the women in the room were laughing uncontrollably.
