Chapter 135 Color TV
If you think about it carefully, what Zhien said is quite reasonable.
Even if both families say that they are not together and follow them, their separation will still affect the relationship between the two families. This is an objective fact.
So, they chose to work together carefully at the beginning, and every step they took might be ordinary but absolutely cautious.
They walked slowly along the way home, chatting a lot, and thinking a lot, but the family members they cared about the most were not that complicated.
It was already very late, and Cao Peiyu had not yet slept, so he pulled Cao Yun, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, to discuss things.
"Is the cottage too small? If it really doesn't work, let's clean up the big house for them to live in. I always feel that letting Chunyang live in the cottage make her wronged," Cao Peiyu frowned and said worriedly.
Cao Yun turned his back to Cao Peiyu and said vaguely: "No, Chunyang is not the kind of picky person. The big house is facing the front yard, and people passing by without blocking the curtains at our door can see inside. Chunyang may not like it even more, the hut is pretty good."
Cao Peiyu was persuaded to make sure that the hut would be for Chunyang and Zhien to live in.
It’s not enough to have a place to live alone, but they have to buy some things from other people’s marriages.
The first thing that Cao Peiyu thought of was a sewing machine. After hearing this, Cao Yun said helplessly: "Chunyang doesn't know how to use it, so why do you buy it? I think it's better not to buy it. Think about something else."
What else?
Cao Peiyu thought for a long time before he poked Cao Yun and said, "I heard that there are TVs with color outside now, which are really brighter than black and white TVs. I thought that when the boss got married, he must buy a TV. If the TV with color is not as expensive as black and white TVs, I will buy a one with color. Do you think it's OK?"
Black and white TV is no longer a rare thing in the village, but no one has bought color TVs yet. It’s not that the villagers don’t know that there are color TVs, but it’s really too expensive and no one can afford it.
Cao Yun really knew the price of color TVs and said honestly: "It depends on the size and whether it is from abroad. The ones that come in abroad are still large are expensive. The ones that are smaller are cheaper, but they have to cost several thousand."
"What? It's several thousand! Why don't you just grab the money?" Cao Peiyu said in shock.
Cao Yun was amused by her, and then turned back to face Cao Peiyu and said, "Mom, if you think it's not worth it, don't buy it. If you think it's worth it, buy one. Anyway, you won't stop watching it for a day or two. It's not a loss."
Cao Peiyu curled his lips and said nothing.
No wonder no one in the village bought it. You can buy a hand tractor for thousands of yuan, and you can buy a threshing machine. What do you have to buy a TV that cannot be eaten or drunk? Isn’t that money to burn?
But if you don’t buy Cao Peiyu, you always feel that’s not the case.
After struggling for a long time, Cao Peiyu finally made up his mind and slapped Cao Yun on the arm and woke up the sleeping person.
"Buy it, buy it for a few thousand yuan!" As she said that, she didn't know where to take out a cloth bag, took out a stack of money from it, and counted it carefully one by one.
This money is all the money she earned from farming and selling sheep in recent years. Apart from some necessary expenses, she saved all the rest. Thinking that there are many children at home, she has to spend money on whether she is marrying or marrying, and she has to save it in advance.
Zhien got married with his wife Chunyang, and it was just right to spend the money on them. What else can I feel sorry for? Don’t feel sorry for me!
Cao Peiyu said "I don't feel sorry" in his heart over and over again. After counting the money, he seemed to be really not feeling sorry.
She gave all the money to Cao Yun and instructed: "I guess the money is enough. Go back and buy the TV and give me the rest. I want to buy something else."
Cao Yun pushed the money back again and said helplessly: "Mom, please keep the money, I have it here. I'll go buy a color TV tomorrow. Just be 100% mind. Can we sleep now? I'm going to be sleepy."
Even if you are sleepy, you have to take the money off, otherwise you won’t have to sleep.
"It's not easy to make money by yourself, so you can save it all. It's not that there is no room for your brother. You don't have to spend money when getting married," Cao Peiyu said persistently: "Graduating your brother is something I have to worry about. There is no reason to let you, the sister, pay hard money."
Usually, a family doesn’t have to be so clear about their lives. They don’t have to worry about who spends more or less. However, Cao Peiyu still thinks he should calculate clearly when it comes to marriage. He is not afraid of complaining in the future, so he wants to be at peace.
Others can do something that can drain the girl from marrying her son. She can't do it. The girl's sons are all her own children, so she has to feel for her.
Cao Yun didn't argue with her anymore, and obediently took the money.
This time, Cao Peiyu finally stopped and turned off the lights and went to bed.
Cao Yun was very reliable in doing things. In a few days, a brand new Changhong brand color TV was transported into the village.
It is impossible to be low-key in this kind of thing. After all, they only sent it to the entrance of the village and asked them to move the TV home by themselves, so everyone in the village was watching it.
The TV was filled with a cardboard box from the eldest brother. Cao Yundongmei and Cao Peiyu were carried away. Erbao took Sun Ying back from her parents' home and happened to meet them and helped her.
Isn’t this even more noticeable if five people carry a TV?
The cardboard box has a color TV. Those with long eyes know what is in the box. They are curious about the price. Someone asked Cao Yun and only said a rough number.
I've said less, but I still startled people.
What kind of TV can be so expensive?
Driven by curiosity, many people followed the Guo family, waiting for Cao Yun to unbox the box and install the TV.
If this color TV is not turned on, it just looks nothing special except that it is bigger than black and white. Some people start to feel sour, saying that the Guo family has money and nowhere to spend it, and saying that Cao Yun makes some money and doesn't know how to show off. He spends so much money to buy such a broken thing.
Cao Yun didn't say much. What outsiders said she really didn't care at all, as long as her family knew what was going on.
Erbao helped to erect the antenna pole, and after working hard for a long time, he connected all kinds of wires. He turned on the TV and debugged it for a while, and finally got a channel.
There are still snowflakes, but they are much clearer than black and white.
Several good news people were waiting for the TV to watch but didn't leave. They couldn't bear to open their eyes when watching color TV. They kept seeing mealtimes before leaving.
That night, several old ladies came over and said they were chatting with Cao Peiyu, but in fact they kept staring at the TV one by one and never moved them away.
It's okay to do this one day or two, but no one can stand it after a long time.
Yang Cheng thought of a good trick. He loosened the interface of the antenna. When someone came to watch the TV, he could not receive the signal and could not see anything. His family closed the door and wanted to watch the TV, so he connected the antenna, which had no impact at all.
