The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived as scheduled.
The drum music was noisy on Erma Road in Qindong County, and the TV and audio shop of Lin Xiao's family was crowded with people and lively.
Because there was a long period of advertising in advance, and there were huge discounts on TVs and tape recorders on that day, there were a lot of people entering the store.
Lin Qian finally got her wish and put on the clothes of a salesperson. She ran around the store greeting customers very hard.
Chen Erniu, Xia Huzi, and Zhao Qiang, the three of them did some physical work under the leadership of Gang Ming. Chen Na took Li Qin to work as a cashier.
Xu Li ran around the whole store, wherever she needed to go.
The two salespeople in the store, Wei Xue and Chen Lingling, spoke so hard that their voices became hoarse. They mainly wanted to explain some functions of the TV.
Even Lin Xiao was very busy. It was not until the store was about to close that he took a color TV to Huang Xiaowan's house on his motorcycle.
Hearing the knock on the door, Huang Xiaowan ran out with her clothes on.
"Ha! Isn't this Boss Lin? He's even riding a motorcycle."
Huang Xiaowan was joking about Lin Xiao. She opened the door to the courtyard as wide as possible. Lin Xiao hit the accelerator and rode the motorcycle into the courtyard.
Hearing the voices, Lao Huang walked out of the house.
"Lin Xiao! I went to Erma Road today. Your business is so good. It attracted almost everyone in the department store."
Lao Huang laughed. When he saw the color TV set on the motorcycle, he began to untie the rope on it.
The three people worked together and moved the color TV into the living room. With Lin Xiao's help, they dismantled the black and white TV and installed the color TV.
The moment he turned on the color TV, Lao Huang couldn't stop laughing.
"It's really good! The people here are exactly the same. It seems like the money will be spent wherever it goes."
Huang Xiaowan on the side was also very happy. She smiled quickly and said: "Don't worry about what you said, hurry up and get money for others. This color TV is not free."
"You girl, who can keep so much cash at home? I have to go to the bank tomorrow."
As he spoke, Lao Huang pushed his daughter aside. He sat down and began to watch TV attentively.
Huang Xiaowan hurriedly pulled Lin Xiao, and the two quietly went to the west room where she lived.
"How much? I'll deliver it to your office tomorrow."
Huang Xiaowan said and started to make tea for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I took away your black and white TV, so I have to give you a discount on this color TV."
"No! I said I'd give it to you in black and white. We don't have any relatives in our hometown. Besides, it's best if you take it with you tonight. We don't have room to put it at home."
Huang Xiaowan said with a serious face.
Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "Then let Uncle Huang hand over the money to the store tomorrow. Anyway, there is a bank on the second road."
Huang Xiaowan nodded, and then sat down next to Lin Xiao.
"Hey! I asked someone. There is a man named Xu in Qindong County. He is about forty or fifty years old and is engaged in some gray industries.
This man has small eyes, very thin hair on his head, and is a bit fat. "
Lin Xiao relied on his memory and suddenly asked about Huang Xiaowan.
Huang Xiaowan smiled coldly, and said without hesitation: "Are you talking about Xu Minghai? You'd better stay away from this guy. It is said that he is a bit virtuous. His property in Qindong County is not small, and behind him is a big boss from other places.
Why did you suddenly ask about him? Nothing is wrong! "
Lin Xiao quickly shook his head and said, "No! I heard people talk about it occasionally, so I asked about it.
oh! I opened a bar on Sanma Road! It's being renovated and will open before the end of the year. Let's go have a drink then. "
Lin Xiao said and quickly changed the topic.
When Huang Xiaowan heard this, she laughed and said, "Okay! You have brought in all the new things in this big city, but I'd better not go to this kind of entertainment venue."
Lin Xiao smiled and said no more, and the two chatted about other things. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Xiao quickly stood up and left.
When he left, Huang Xiaowan asked him to take the black and white TV away. Lin Xiao was not polite. He actually put it on his motorcycle and took it to the small courtyard on Beishan Road.
The next day, Lin Xiao got up early. He put on more clothes, put on a motorcycle helmet, rode the motorcycle, and carried the TV to the streets of Nanyang Township.
Lin Xiao had just learned to ride a motorcycle, which felt very fresh. Besides, he had promised to give Xia Yuhehua an old black and white TV, which was not just right.
Lin Xiao is a stubborn person. He feels that since he has agreed to something for others, he must do it well, otherwise he will always remember it in his heart.
Only after I got on the road did I realize that riding a motorcycle in the winter morning was not a good idea. The biting cold wind could penetrate thick clothes.
Especially his legs felt like they were naked. Even though Lin Xiao was riding very slowly, he still felt very cold.
If he had known this, he would never have come out so early.
But there were many people watching him along the way. After all, this motorcycle is still new in Qindong County.
After finally riding to Nanyang Township Street, Lin Xiao walked around the street. When he was sure that Xia Yuhe had not come out to set up a stall, he rode his motorcycle directly to her house.
Xia Yuhe, who was squatting under the eaves and burning a kang, heard the sound of a motorcycle. She quickly turned around and saw that Lin Xiao had ridden the motorcycle into her courtyard.
"You came?"
Xia Yuhe asked with a surprised look on his face.
Lin Xiao stopped his motorcycle and asked Xia Yuhe, "Where is Su Quanquan? Let him come out and move the TV."
"I'm here, coming..."
There was a noise in the house, and then Su Quanquan ran out disheveled.
The feeling was that this guy was still sleeping. What time was it? When Lin Xiao saw it, he shook his head helplessly.
"Great! With this TV, I will never look at other people's faces again at night."
Su Quanquan said with a laugh while buttoning his clothes.
Xia Yuhe let out a sigh of relief and called Lin Xiao into the house.
On the big kang, quilts and clothes were scattered in a mess. Xia Yuhe was busy cleaning them up, but Su Quanquan asked her to help install the TV.
"Stop it. You have to make a homemade antenna and buy a power strip. You should be able to buy one on Nanyang Street."
Lin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly said to Su Quanquan.
Only then did Su Quanquan stop. He chuckled and said, "Lin Xiao! That's funny. You've done everything you said. Let Xia Yuhe return this favor to you!"
After Su Quanquan said that, he turned around and ran away. He ran to the door and suddenly closed the door. He seemed to be barricading himself outside.
"Su Quanquan, please open the door for me..."
Xia Yuhe jumped down from the kang. She went to open the door with bare feet, but the door was stuck from the outside.
Lin Xiao finally understood that Su Quanquan had asked Xia Yuhe to return his favor.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.
