hunting in 1986

Chapter 74 73 color TV, go home

It's really nice and enjoyable to travel around without pressure, especially in a big city like Yanjing.

Walk around, look around, eat snacks if you have something, take a photo if you have a photo, leave the address after paying, and the other party will mail it to them after the photo is washed.

The other party repeatedly confirmed the address with them, and only took pictures of other tourists after confirming that it was correct.

If there is even the slightest mistake in the address, then you don't know where it will be mailed.

Two days passed in a flash, this morning Wang Yuan came to a large courtyard alone, talked to the soldiers at the gate, and soon Zheng Lian came out.

"Xiaoyuan? Come on, come with me, I thought it was Ma San'er who came looking for me." Zheng Lian's right hand was pinned behind him, and when he pulled it out, he found that he was holding a brick.

Following Zheng Lian into the compound, Wang Yuan looked around like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The place is really not small, with residential areas, office areas, hospitals, schools, canteens and so on.

The people living there are all family members and descendants of public officials, and some of them are not low-level. Wang Yuan feels that picking out any one at random is much better than his own peasant status.

It's not that he looks down on his status as a farmer, it's just that he really doesn't have the confidence to face a group of officials.

Zheng Lian's house is very simple, with four rooms. The old dark wooden door is slightly cracked, and there are Spring Festival couplets pasted on it last year.

His wife came out for a shake, then carried the child to the back room.

Wang Yuan and Zheng Lian sat at the table drinking tea, and then explained the purpose of their visit.

"I heard that the son and brother of the big courtyard have great magical powers, so I wanted to ask, is there a way to buy a color TV? As long as it is not too expensive." Wang Yuan said eagerly.

Color TVs are in short supply. In his hometown, he can't buy regular ones, let alone irregular ones.

"Color TV? Let me think about it." Zheng Lian's family has a color TV, but they bought it in a department store.

"By the way, look for Qian Xiaojun for this matter! He must have connections, let's go, let's go find him!"

Wang Yuan followed Zheng Lian to leave again. When they found Qian Xiaojun, the latter had just come out of the hut, fastened his belt, and led them directly to a man named "Jiang Han", and then came to a courtyard in the north .

Opening the old door and entering the house, a large number of TV sets and radios came into view instantly, and Wang Yuan salivated.

Jiang Han was a few years older than Wang Yuan, with a round face. He took out cigarettes and spread out one by one, and then struck a match to light it.

He shook the match in his hand and said:
"Little brother, let's take a look. You can choose whichever one you like. Brother Lian and Xiaojun are my buddies. Since you are introduced by them, I will definitely give you the lowest price. Don't worry."

Regardless of whether the final price was the lowest or not, at least Qian Xiaojun and Zheng Lian felt comfortable listening to these words.

Wang Yuan casually pointed to a TV: "Brother Jiang, how much is this TV?"

"820 yuan, made in Changshan, 14-inch black and white." Jiang Han took a sharp puff on the cigarette: "Little brother, I advise you to buy a color TV. If you buy it, you can buy it for a few hundred yuan, black and white. It's almost time."

It took Wang Yuan two seconds to remember where Changshan is. The most famous person should be Changshan Zhao Zilong.

In addition to Huanyu, there are Zhonghai, Changhong, Jinxing, Ruyi, Yanjing, Huanghe and so on.

After chatting for more than a minute, Wang Yuan picked out two "Yellow River" brand color TV sets—keep one in his yard after getting married, and put one in his parents' yard as well.

One is 1400, and two are 2800.

In addition, Wang Yuan also bought two watches—Yanjing Shuangling 40-diamond fully automatic watch, 95 yuan each.

Add up a total of 2990 yuan.

After trying it out, there was no problem, and then Wang Yuan opened his cloth pocket to take out money, which was less than three stacks.

After hailing a tricycle, Wang Yuan left with two TV sets.

……

As the Chinese New Year approached, Wang Yuan, Li Hang and Niu Yuanyuan didn't stay in Yanjing any longer. After buying tickets, they took the train home.

And besides—

As the old green leather train slowly crawled forward, Niu Yuanyuan sat on the seat, looked at the retrograde scenery outside the window and said: "I really miss these few days, I don't know when I will come to Yanjing next time." .”

Hard seats in this era are really uncomfortable. When Wang Yuan got off the train at Lindu Station, his buttocks, shoulders and neck also hurt.

"Slow down on the road, can you still ride a bicycle with so many things?"

"No problem! See you later!"

Wang Yuan put a lot of things in the bamboo basket behind him, straightened his dog fur hat, and then rode away on his bicycle.

Some books, magazines, and wedding supplies were bought under the noses of Li Hang and Niu Yuanyuan, so these things were not put into the space.

squeak squeak~
It seemed that the chain should be oiled, and it was really difficult to ride. Not long after leaving the city, Wang Yuan stopped the bicycle to add some oil to the chain, and then continued to drive home.

For Wang Yuan's return, parents, two younger sisters, grandparents, uncles and others were all very happy, the small room was filled with people in an instant.

"Second brother, second brother, second brother..."

Wang Yuan was sitting on the edge of the kang, the little girl nestled in his arms and always called him.

"Alas, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, hee hee~"

After stroking the little girl's head, Wang Yuan continued chatting with grandparents, aunts and others in the room. They were very curious about Wang Yuan's trip to Yanjing, and any little thing could arouse everyone's discussion.

For example, Wang Yuan said——The landlord does not believe that pine trees can grow pine nuts, and everyone laughed instantly.

Grandpa sat cross-legged on the kang, smoking dry cigarettes: "Then he should come to our place to have a look. Did Little Yuan tell him that there are pine nuts all over the mountains and plains here."

Wang Yuan also mentioned that he saw a foreigner, and his grandfather snorted: "Yes, there are foreigners in our city, Zhuzi and the others saw it when they went to sell bear bile in the city.

I said that these little foreign bastards should be arrested, and they should pay for the mistakes made by their grandpas!
When I was young, I saw those foreign devils with my own eyes. Beating people and killing people is really... anyway, it’s not human business. "

Wang Yuan smiled and didn't say much.

Grandpa is very old, and he has experienced the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the warlords' melee, and so on. The memory of his personal experience is too deep, and the brutality of foreigners is deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory.

Want him to change his views on foreigners?almost impossible.

There were a lot of hard dishes at noon, and the eldest sister Wang Qing was also busy with work. Wang Yuan asked her, "When is the holiday?"

"The day before yesterday, my father brought me back." Wang Qing rolled up her sleeves and prepared to make dumplings with bread.

Time is too tight to eat dumplings at noon, so I can only eat them at night.

After a meal, it was almost two o'clock, and Wang Yuan rode his bicycle again and said he was going to the city, but in fact he went to Xiaobaitun'er.

The mother-in-law was still enthusiastic when she saw him, and after chatting for a while, she pushed Li Yan over, and Li Yan talked to Wang Yuan with a blushing face.

"Why are you here again?"

Li Yan's words almost made Wang Yuan spit out a mouthful of water.

"Why? You don't like me coming, so I won't come after that."

"No, no, come if you want."

Li Yan knew that Wang Yuan had misunderstood her meaning, and hurriedly waved her hands to explain anxiously, fine beads of sweat oozed from her anxious forehead.She was simply surprised by Wang Yuan's arrival, she was not prepared for it suddenly.

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean, do you still have peanuts? Give me (qiu) some peanuts to eat."

The younger sister, Li Ping, ran to fetch (qiu) peanuts for Wang Yuan, chatting while eating the peanuts, and the old mother-in-law mentioned something that Li Yan's beggar father was coming back.

"How do you know you're coming back? Is it a letter?"

"I came back from the telegram. I'm in Baicheng now, and I need travel expenses. It just so happens that the baby's father can catch up with you to get married." The old mother-in-law was very happy.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but cast a shadow over his heart, wouldn't he be messing around again?It's best not to have any, he just wants to stay in the countryside and live his little life peacefully and beautifully.

As for doing big things?It's not bad to settle for one or two years, lay the foundation first, and then it's not bad to accumulate a lot of money.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Wang Yuan left the old mother-in-law's natal house. Of course, he left 30 catties of wild pork, 20 catties of soybeans, and 50 catties of rice in the basket.
