In the evening, before Gao Mingcheng took his things and went out, he said to Duomei: "I won't have dinner at home. You guys can pull down the rolling shutter later and turn on the TV to watch."
At this time, if you go to deliver a color TV to Gao Guobing, you must have dinner there.
Gao Mingwan drove his tractor back to Gaojiacun, so he could only move the color TV there now. In addition to the color TV, he also took a set of cosmetics and some commonly used medicines.
These were all brought back from Xiangjiang.
Fortunately, he was strong and the two families didn't live very far apart. He was still walking as fast as the wind while carrying the large packing boxes.
Not long after, he arrived at Gao Guobing's home.
The courtyard door was open to welcome him.
"Gao Mingcheng, you're finally here! You must be tired after moving all the way. I'll move it!" Gao Yue volunteered to take the color TV from Gao Mingcheng's hand.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him with a half-smile, when had Gao Yue ever been so positive? It’s not just that I desperately want to see a color TV set!
But he was also happy and relaxed, following Gao Yue into the living room.
As soon as Gao Yue put down the packaging box, he started to unpack it with the scissors he had prepared. He had a black and white TV set at home, so he knew how to adjust the channels.
Gao Guobing lost his previous calmness and came to the color TV and watched Gao Yue debug. If Gao Yue did anything wrong, he would have to teach Gao Yue a lesson.
Soon, a TV program was played on the TV screen.
"Ah! Color TV makes people happy after watching it! Mom! Come and watch the color TV!" Gao Yue shouted in the direction of the kitchen.
However, Zhao Dongmei's voice came steadily: "Don't worry, I'll cook the rice first."
Zhao Dongmei is not in a hurry, but she knows the importance. Besides, since this color TV has entered the house, when can she not watch it?
So even though she was feeling itchy, Zhao Dongmei was still busy in the kitchen making dinner.
Suddenly, a man walked in at the kitchen door.
"Aunt, let me help you wash the vegetables!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
His addiction to color TV is relatively small. Although he hasn't watched TV for a long time and misses it, he can still control himself.
Zhao Dongmei looked at him with soft eyes, more affectionate than looking at her own son!
"Hey, okay." Zhao Dongmei responded gently.
With Gao Mingcheng's help, this dinner was naturally faster than usual.
In less than half an hour, the meal was ready.
Zhao Dongmei was ready to leave Gao Mingcheng to eat at home, so the dishes today were very rich. She said with a smile: "Mingcheng, thank you for your hard work. You can eat more later!"
"Okay. Auntie, let's eat while watching TV." Gao Mingcheng said, carrying a plate of dishes in one hand and heading to the restaurant.
Gao Yue and his son were watching TV in the living room. When they saw that dinner was ready, Gao Guobing directed Gao Yue to adjust the position of the color TV so that he could watch TV programs directly while sitting at the dining table.
Zhao Dongmei finally saw the picture on the color TV. She looked at the bright colors with a very excited expression on her face.
When she was working at her workplace, she often heard people talking about color TVs. Most people dreamed of color TVs, and even her boss was trying his best to get a color TV ticket.
And now, her home has a color TV!
"This color TV is really good. Not only does it have color, but the picture is also very clear. It's much better than the black and white TV we had before!" Zhao Dongmei praised sincerely.
Most of her attention was focused on the color TV screen, but she still remembered to greet Gao Mingcheng for dinner. As for Gao Guobing and his son, it was up to them to eat or not.
"Mingcheng, come here, eat a piece of pig's trotters. They are braised first and then stir-fried. They are strong and delicious." Zhao Dongmei gave Gao Mingcheng the best piece of pig's trotters and smiled and asked Gao Mingcheng to eat more.
Gao Yue said sourly: "Eccentric!"
Zhao Dongmei glanced at him sideways, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore, and just continued to eat and watch TV.
After the meal, Gao Mingcheng took out the cosmetics and medicines he had brought.
"Aunt, this is the cosmetics from Xiangjiang. All the big stars use this kind of cosmetics. It's a big brand and it's easy to use! Aunt, I specially selected this for you. It must be very good for you to use it!" Gao Mingcheng handed the cosmetics to Zhao Dongmei.
Zhao Dongmei usually doesn't wear makeup, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand cosmetics. Now that she saw this set of cosmetics, she knew they must be expensive.
The packaging of these cosmetics is very exquisite, and it is comparable to domestic products.
What woman doesn’t love beauty? So even though Zhao Dongmei is nearly fifty years old, she can't help but feel excited after seeing these cosmetics!
"Oh, you should give Domei such good cosmetics to use. I am already old, so why should I use these things?" Although Zhao Dongmei was tempted, she still subconsciously refused.
Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "I kept it for Duomei and the others. Besides, Duomei is pregnant now and cannot wear makeup."
His words seemed to convince Zhao Dongmei, who happily accepted the cosmetics.
Gao Mingcheng handed the medicines to Gao Guobing again and said: "These are famous medicines in Xiangjiang. Uncle, please read the instructions above. Use whatever is useful, or keep it at home for backup."
Gao Guobing took the medicines and looked at them.
On the packaging box of the medicine, it is written which disease it is intended to treat.
"These are all good medicines!" Gao Guobing is very satisfied with these medicines. Sometimes he has certain symptoms, but he just endures them, or he can find some old doctors to prescribe medicine and take the decoction several times. It is more convenient to take over-the-counter medicine directly.
"Ming Cheng, although the profits from smuggling are large, the risks are also high. You should be more careful when you go out." Gao Guobing warned.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Uncle, I know everything you said, but there is such a good opportunity in front of me. If I don't seize it, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?"
"Brother Xiao said that some of his relatives and friends may also want color TVs. Uncle, you can also ask in private. When I go back to Xiangjiang to pick up people, there is a high probability that I will be able to load another truck with goods. Coming back."
Gao Mingcheng's words were actually a favor to Gao Guobing.
These days, what a huge favor it would be to help someone buy an imported color TV!
It can be said that Gao Guobing can open up many relationships with this!
Gao Guobing's eyes were slightly bright. He glanced at Gao Mingcheng approvingly and said, "I know what to do. I will tell you the specific figures when I have the exact information. Of course, I won't be so sure. , lest you end up without the goods."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng felt that Gao Guobing had thought well.
Whether the goods are available or not actually depends not on him, but on Sai Yanfei.
And there are indeed risks along the way. If something happens along the way, it will be a big deal.
So this cannot be said too fully.
Because Gao Mingcheng insisted on only charging the purchase price, after Gao Guobing paid the money, he pointed at the old black and white TV and said, "I can't take advantage of you anymore. Just move this black and white TV!"
Zhao Dongmei also smiled and said: "Now that we have color TVs, who wants to watch black and white TVs! Take it away Mingcheng, sell it or give it away, it's up to you!"
The couple said so, so Gao Mingcheng was not polite. When he left, he was carrying the old black and white TV in his hand.
He looked at the black-and-white television, wondering what it was for.
He didn't like it, but if he put it up for sale, he could sell it in minutes. But there was no need, and he didn't lack the money, so he might as well put it at the house in Gaojiacun.
In this way, he can watch TV when he returns to the village to work.
He thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
However, when he returned to the clothing store and discussed the arrangement of the black and white TV set, he encountered opposition from many beauties.
Duo Mei said: "We live in the county for more time. Even if we go back to the village, we go back to work. After a tiring day, we just go to bed. How can we still have the energy to watch TV? This TV is placed in the village. That’s just eating ashes!”
"Mingcheng, I think you should give this black and white TV to your parents. They live in the village and have a lot of free time, so they might as well watch TV."
As soon as she said many beautiful words, Gao Shufang was moved and said: "Second sister-in-law, you are so kind!"
Look, her second brother is not thinking about his parents, but his second sister-in-law is thinking about him first!
It is said that a daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her parents. In fact, when Gao Shufang saw the black and white TV, she also thought that it would be great if she could show it to her parents.
It's just that the things belong to her second brother, so she can't speak rashly.
But if the second sister-in-law says this, then there is nothing wrong!
Gao Mingcheng looked at Duo Mei and Gao Shufang. They all said this. What else could he do? Of course I agreed!
So the processing result of this black and white TV came out.
"Mingcheng, it's getting late, so Luo Li and I will go back first." After the episode was over, Huang Dazhi was finally willing to stand up.
He came over early as soon as he got off work today.
Usually it was to take Luo Li home, but today it was to watch color TV.
Gao Mingcheng looked at them and said: "It's late at night, please walk slowly and remember to use a flashlight!"
"Hey, I got it." Huang Dazhi responded and took Luo Li out.
Not long after Huang Dazhi and the others left, the TV screen suddenly became invisible and a pattern appeared.
Seeing that pattern, Gao Mingcheng felt a long-lost sense of familiarity.
"Second brother, are you adjusting the antenna again? Why are there no programs?" Gao Shufang was anxious. She stepped forward and began to adjust the antenna.
However, no matter how she adjusted it, the TV picture just changed from clear to blurry, and then from blurry to clear.
Gao Mingcheng said: "How can there be so many programs for you to watch? If this pattern appears, it means there are no TV programs and you can't watch them any more! Turn off your phone, it's getting late, so wash up and go to bed!"
Gao Mingcheng stepped forward and pulled out the wire. Only after the picture disappeared did Gao Shufang give up.
Gao Mingli's presence is not strong, but it is obvious that his thoughts are also in the TV.
He has watched black and white TV and movies, but now that he is watching color TV, he is still very excited and thinks it is very good to watch.
Black and white TV is not so nice, and when watching a movie, there are so many people, the sound is noisy, and there are a lot of smells, including the smell of cigarette smoke and the smell of sweat.
Where can I enjoy watching color TV quietly at home?
Gao Shufang was forced to take a shower. When she was lying on the bed and ready to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered something.
She sat up instantly and woke up.
Her second brother said he wanted to give her a gift?
Now that the second brother has brought back a color TV, does she still have her gift?
Gao Shufang was extremely confused and wanted to ask her second brother.
But when she walked to her second brother's door and listened to the voices of her second brother and her second sister-in-law inside, she hesitated for a moment and decided to go back to sleep first.
Forget it, let’s ask again tomorrow!
