Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 84 Production Team's First TV
It was already noon when He Ping returned to Hantun. At this point, many people walked back after visiting Daji, many of them were from Hantun, and it happened that Han Zhaojun's family was among them.

"Brother He Ping, didn't you go shopping in the city?" Seeing that He Ping was riding a bicycle, Han Zhaojun loaded Xiaozhuer on his back, but he didn't see anything.

"The things are in the car behind." He Ping pouted.

Han Zhaojun looked back and saw that he bought a lot. A truck was half loaded. He really didn't expect that this truck was hired by He Ping to pull the goods. He thought it was a big purchase.

"Look at you, we don't need this ready-made donkey cart, why are you still going to hire a cart, it's a waste of money." Han Yuzheng said with some distress when he saw the donkey cart behind him.

"Isn't this too much stuff? Besides, your family has to buy a lot of things today, and how can you pull them away when you sit on it?"

How could an older generation like Han Yuzheng agree with He Ping's point of view, "People can walk, just pull things up."

He Ping smiled wryly, Han Yuzheng's intentions were good, but in He Ping, a person with the consumption outlook of later generations, the concept of spending more money and less suffering is deeply ingrained. Not without this condition.

He Liqin said: "He Ping's family buys so many things, what's the point of hiring a car, look at your ink marks there."

Han Yuzheng was stabbed a few times by his wife, and he didn't speak any more.

On the other hand, Han Zhaoshe, who jumped out, looked at He Ping's cart and became interested, "Brother He Ping, what did you buy?"

"It's all eaten and used during the Chinese New Year, pork and beef, oranges, rice flour, soybean oil, sugar, mixed fruits, fried peanuts, New Year pictures..."

As He Ping talked, Han Zhaoshe's saliva almost flowed out. He loved so much food, and the life of brother He Ping's family was better. He envied Xiao Zhu'er again.

He Ping grabbed two handfuls of miscellaneous fruits from the car, which were his favorite childhood snacks, and handed them to Han Zhaoshe's family, "Try it!"

They were all acquaintances, so Han Zhaoshe took a piece and ate it. It was sweet and crunchy, "It's really delicious. The miscellaneous fruits in this city are better than those sold in Daji."

This kid can really talk nonsense, the ones in the city are better than the ones in the market?In my opinion, the word "in the city" should add points.

"Young man, can you still eat two flavors of the same thing?" Father Han Yuzheng scolded.

"It's better than the ones on the market." Han Zhaoshe retorted in a low voice, not daring to let his father hear.

Everything was placed on the donkey cart, and fancy packaging was not popular at this time, either tied with rope, or wrapped in kraft paper or newspaper, and one of the cardboard boxes was particularly conspicuous.

"What is this?"

He Ping glanced at it, and said casually, "That, the TV set."

"TV set?"

Han Zhaoshe's exclamation attracted the attention of the family members, "What's wrong?"

"Brother He Ping bought a TV set." Han Zhaoshe said excitedly.

"TV?" Even Han Yuzheng couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

TV sets are a symbol of high-end and expensive in this era, and the price of hundreds or even thousands is out of reach for most rural people, that is, urban families can afford TV sets in this era It is also very few.

A few people looked at the donkey cart curiously, and they didn't even think about going on the road.

He Ping really didn't expect that TV would be so attractive to people of this age. Even a mature and prudent elder like Han Yuzheng couldn't help being curious.

The people around heard the "television" vaguely, and they all cast curious eyes.

"Go home and have a look. I'll install it for you to see when I get back."

He Pingsheng was afraid that at this time the big guys would make a strong onlooker and delay his journey.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the speed of the donkey cart increased significantly, and he pedaled hard to keep up with the speed of the donkey cart.

Really motivated!

The original one-hour journey took half an hour. When we arrived in Hantun, the little black donkey of Han Zhaojun's family almost died on the spot. The mouth was frothy and he was panting heavily.

Han Zhaojun's family couldn't care less about going home, and after helping He Ping unload the things, they just looked at He Ping eagerly.

Okay, let's install the TV first, all of them look like trick-or-treating kids.

The black and white TV was moved out of the cardboard box, and the coffee table was used as a TV cabinet, and the TV was placed on it.

The TV has nothing to do with it, the main thing is the antenna. The current TVs receive analog signals. Without the antenna, it’s impossible, and it’s full of snowflakes when it’s turned on.

The two logs left over from the previous construction of the house were useless, but this time they happened to be used. The antenna was tied to the log and stood up. Han Zhaojun was in charge of rotating the antenna due to his strength.

He Ping turned on the TV. At this time, there was no signal and everything was snowflakes. He asked Han Zhaojun to turn the antenna loudly, while turning the channel knob of the radio station.

"Turn it again, turn it around..."

The few remaining people stared at the TV screen intently, even though there was nothing on it right now, it was still a very miraculous thing.

"Jixian radiators, all... products, implement three guarantees,... consignment, telephone switchboard 128."

"Okay, stop spinning, stop."

Hearing the human voice on the TV, He Ping hurriedly told Han Zhaojun loudly.

"Someone is out, someone is out."

When He Ping saw the pictures on the TV, he felt a little strange for a while. He hadn't seen this kind of old TV for a long time.

He took a closer look, and was a little stunned. My dear, someone advertised on the national TV set in [-], and it turned out to be a radiator seller.

"Good guy, Citizen is now advertising on China TV? You really deserve to be a foreign businessman!"

He Ping looked at the advertisements on TV, and in 79, Citizen's advertisements hit the domestic market. No wonder they are good at it, this awareness of publicity.

He Ping remembers seeing it on the Internet before. The predecessor of National TV was Beijing TV. Now there should be a news broadcast, right?
It seems that my steps are still a bit small. Look at others, this advertisement has hit the national TV station.

However, He Ping was just thinking about it in his heart. This business must be state-run, which is different from his situation.

Han Zhaojun outside hurriedly fixed the antenna mast, and hurried into the house, but he heard the sound of the TV outside, and his heart was itchy.

"Is this the TV?"

Han Zhaojun came in and muttered to himself while watching the advertisement on TV.

All eyes in the room were fixed on the TV screen. Even though there were still boring advertisements playing in it, people these days had no resistance to forms of entertainment like TV and movies!
Seeing everyone's reaction, He Ping decided to make some lunch first and eat more at noon. He had a premonition that his house would not calm down tonight.
