Recalling that in those days, only some millet and glutinous rice paste were used to serve the ancestral tablets, Aunt Shui was naturally reluctant to give two or three kilograms of pork to serve the "TV God".
Therefore, the poor have no means, and this hard work has to be shouldered by Shui Gengsheng, the only man in the family.
Even though Aunt Shui is uneducated, she is also a person who dares to think and act.
She actually dared to call a public phone to denounce the TV station.
I have to tell others that TV dramas should be shown ten or eight episodes a night. You guys are always stretching people like sheep shitting, which is extremely unethical.
Why would she hesitate to negotiate with Hong Yanwu? Of course it was because it was suitable for her family, why was she here?
So a few days later, at almost eleven o'clock on Sunday, March 13, Shui Qing was surprised to find that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came to visit the house with a strange bamboo pole.
"Hey, what do you two have in your hands?"
Looking at the bamboo pole with several aluminum and copper pipes tied to its tip, and a large ball of wires hanging from its tail, Shui Qing really couldn't figure out why.
Chen Liquan's answer completely surprised her.
"Sister, this is an outdoor antenna for TV. Isn't it unclear to your TV? The two of us asked someone to order this. It will be clear when it is connected."
So while being surprised, Shui Qing was inevitably confused and stuttered when speaking.
"Hey, why didn't I know about this? Who told you about this? This is too... too troublesome for you... isn't it..."
But at this moment, without Shui Qing asking any more questions, the real mastermind behind the scenes took the initiative to show up.
Aunt Shui poked her head out of the kitchen.
"I said this, I asked them to come. If there is any trouble, they should deserve it."
But when she saw what Hong Yanwu and the others had brought from a distance, her face was full of reluctance.
If nothing else, this old lady has a natural resistance to new things.
"Xiao Wu, Quan Zi, does this thing of yours really work? Don't let it go wrong. If you have another monkey fishing for the moon, your work will be in vain."
Hong Yanwu patted his chest on the spot to defend himself.
"Absolutely no problem. This was made strictly according to the design drawings by the masters of Dongfeng TV Factory, the same factory that produces the 'Kunlun' TV. Don't think it's just a simple combination of aluminum tubes and copper tubes, but as long as the
This thing is installed high on the roof, and the reception effect is very good. This is science."
Chen Liquan also added additional explanations.
"Aunt Shui, we just finished installing it for my godfather and godmother in the east courtyard. With this, the TV doesn't even have any double shadows, it's just clear. Don't worry, Master Shui won't have to use the fake antenna every day anymore."
At this point, Aunt Shui rolled her eyes and nodded with reluctance.
"Anyway, I don't understand. If you say it's okay, let's try it first. But if it doesn't work, I won't accept it. You still have to find a way for me, and when will it be solved and when will it be over?"
Well, now that the truth is revealed, Shui Qing is really embarrassed.
Especially some of her mother's excessive words made her blush on the spot.
Just because of this unreasonableness, she became a little impatient.
"Mom, you are really good. You actually went to find someone else! What should you deserve? This is none of their business at all. Helping you is a matter of friendship, but not helping you is a duty. You are so embarrassed!"
Then he lowered his head and touched his pocket.
"Xiao Wu, Quanzi, I'm sorry, my mother is confused and has caused trouble for you! Sister, thank you! How much money you paid for this matter, I will give it to you. Don't give up."
But she was anxious, and Aunt Shui was even more anxious.
He ran out of the kitchen on the spot. When he came over, he held Shui Qing's hand holding the money and pushed her into the house.
"This is all what I have already agreed upon. Why are you causing such trouble? Are you confused and I am confused? Go back to the house and get busy with yourself. You are still there..."
Even though the water was clear, he struggled desperately.
"Mom, don't you feel sorry for this? It's enough trouble for me, but you still want me to help you with the subsidy..."
Well, the two women with conflicting ideas are at odds with each other again.
Not to mention recruiting Shui Lian, who was writing essays in the house, some neighbors from the next few houses also poked their heads in.
When Hong Yanwu saw it, he felt that it was nothing serious. He was afraid that the situation would escalate, so he quickly came to break up the fight.
Of course he had to coax Aunt Shui first.
"Auntie, auntie, don't be angry. My sister Qing'er is very generous, but I don't understand the market. To put it bluntly, this thing is just some industrial scraps, made with the friendship and support of others, it's not worth anything at all. What else can I want from you?
Money? You're joking. Don't worry, it's over once we talk about this. You two, don't worry about each other over this. It's not worth it, right?"
Then he kept sniffing in an exaggerated manner.
"Hey, what does this taste like? It's so fragrant! Are you steaming the buns today? The buns are stuffed with fennel. To be honest, I haven't eaten this in a while. If you don't see me outside, we will have to indulge you.
How many."
Hey, now bring the steps to Aunt Shui's feet and she will be fine.
First, he promised Hong Yanwuman, "Hey, I want you to solve the problem for me. Not only are the buns enough, but there is also Japonica rice porridge."
Then he raised his chin proudly, flushed the water and hummed.
"Do you hear me? I'm not calling people in vain, I'm still looking after Baozi. Look at how sensible Xiao Wu is, but you're just a petty little girl."
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing blocked her words as soon as she opened her mouth, and the truth revealed made her blush.
"Mom, are you okay? Don't you think about it, Xiao Wu and the others haven't eaten anything? How many shredded vegetables and pork do you get for free every day? I'm just being polite to you. A steamed stuffed bun with fennel stuffing, you also
Talking about it like a treasure?"
It looked like there was going to be another dispute, but fortunately Hong Yanwu was not willing to wait and wait for his success to fall short. He flushed the water tightly and winked.
While saying, "Sister, I'm not polite. I really want to eat it. I and Izumi will have at least five each for lunch."
On the other hand, he sent Aunt Shui away on the pretense of sending an errand.
"Auntie, let's not waste time. Hurry up and find the ladder for Izumi so you can continue cooking your meal. If you don't wait until uncle comes back and see that the table is empty, it's time to blame you. Let's do this
You’ll be hungry after this, right?”
Only then did Aunt Shui finally glare at her daughter and turn around to take Chen Liquan away.
It's just that the old lady was still a little angry when she left, but she didn't stop scolding her.
"Where is this girl my biological child? She always quarrels with her mother, so she knows how to show off her authority."
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu also knocked on the gong.
"Auntie, it's fun to argue. Not just anyone can argue with anyone. You two are the two of us."
Well, this sentence finally made the old lady laugh, and her resentment disappeared.
But here, the mediation work is not over yet. Hong Yanwu still has to continue to comfort Shui Qing.
What Hong Yanwu meant was that he knew Shui Qing was thinking about them.
But he also said that this was just a matter of chance. Anyway, he happened to need to install a TV antenna at home, so he didn't tell Shui Qing because he thought it was nothing.
If you don't care about anything but the affection between them, can't you just get over this?
Shui Qing, on the other hand, really didn't need to argue with Aunt Shui, he could just make the old lady happy.
She had to make it clear in person and make it impossible for the old lady to get off the stage, so why bother?
In short, Shui Qing couldn't help but be moved by this enthusiasm, sincerity and thoughtfulness.
So the eldest girl didn't waste any time and didn't tolerate Hong Yanwu being polite any more, so she sent Shui Lian to go to the grocery store to buy wine and cooked food.
Not to mention, outdoor antennas really work.
After Hong Yanwu held the ladder and Chen Liquan went up to the room to adjust the antenna to the correct angle, the snowflakes and noise in the TV screen really disappeared.
Especially the Beijing TV station knows very well that there is no double-image at all.
Shui Qing, who was in charge of checking the picture quality in the room, was so happy that she happily clapped her hands and said yes.
But just when Hong Yanwu shouted and asked Shui Qing for his final opinion, if the antenna could be fixed.
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing suddenly exclaimed "Ah" in the room.
Subconsciously, Hong Yanwu thought she saw a mouse and quickly opened the door and entered.
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing just stared at the TV screen.
After he called her several times, she pointed at the news screen on the TV with trembling lips, turned her head and told him in a low voice.
"Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu, I... I saw Xiaoying's father on TV. He... he was standing next to the mayor! What should I do? What should I do?"
