Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 35
The next morning, Bao Qihang unwrapped the thread and handed over the 300 yuan on his body to Wang Weidong, and the two rushed to the No. [-] Department Store in Mushi.

The second floor of the first department store is the place where bicycles, sewing machines, radios and televisions are sold.

"Let's see if there are any radios produced by our factory!" Wang Weidong said.

The counter selling radios is very long, with more than 20 brands of radios on display.

"Weidong, here!" Bao Qihang pointed to a small radio under the glass panel.

Compared with the radios produced by big factories in Shanghai Jingcheng and other places, the small radios of Chuangye brand are very inconspicuous.

There are very few radio factories in Heilongjiang Province, so the Supply and Marketing Corporation of Heilongjiang Province has a preference for the Entrepreneur brand radios produced in this province, so they put them on the counters of such a large department store.

"This is made in our factory!" Bao Qihang proudly said to the 20-year-old saleswoman.

People in big places have high eyesight, so the saleswoman just smiled politely at Bao Qihang.

"Let's go and watch TV." Wang Weidong said.Hearing that he might want to buy a TV, the saleswoman gave Wang Weidong a very attentive look.

The TV counter was four or five meters long, but there were only three TV sets, and the one in the middle looked weird.

Standing in front of the counter, Wang Weidong stretched his neck and looked at the three TVs. All three TVs were from Veuve, and the one in the middle was a combination of TV and radio.

"Buy a nine-inch one, three hundred and eighty, and a twelve-inch one is too expensive." Bao Qihang said to Wang Weidong.

The twelve-inch one costs five hundred and two, which is too expensive.

"The nine-inch one is not too small, it is more than 100 cheaper than the twelve-inch one!" Bao Qihang continued, but his eyes were also fiery looking at the twelve-inch TV!
"Learning is a big deal! Buying a good one can better promote their learning." Wang Weidong said.

The two-in-one TV with a nine-inch TV and radio in the middle was not considered at all. Wang Weidong decided to buy the twelve-inch black and white TV.

A male salesperson in his 20s has been standing indifferently by the side. There are many people who come here to watch TV eagerly every day, but they hardly buy anything.

But listening to the conversation between the two people in front of him, it seemed that they really came to buy a TV, but he didn't care. Not selling one TV a month was the same as selling a hundred TVs.

"Comrade, turn on that [-]-inch TV and let the two of us have a look." Wang Weidong said to the salesperson.

"There is no program now, until five o'clock in the afternoon." The salesperson said while turning on the TV switch. The screen was not snowflakes but a fixed pattern made up of squares and circles.

"The effect is not bad, there are not many snowflakes!" Bao Qihang said in admiration.

"How can our TV broadcast be as good as here?" Wang Weidong said.

Whether the TV effect is good or not is not only related to the quality of the TV, but in many cases has more to do with the broadcast.

"Comrade, can you bring a new one out? If the effect is the same as this one, we will buy it!" Wang Weidong said.

The salesperson looked at Wang Weidong and turned off the TV.

Wang Weidong noticed that a bright spot appeared in the middle of the TV screen for a few seconds before completely disappearing.

The salesman called another person, and the two went to the back warehouse to move an unopened TV.

"If there is no quality problem after opening, you must buy it!" the salesperson warned.

"Definitely buy it!" Wang Weidong said firmly.

Carefully unpacking the box, peeling off the plastic bubble wrap around the TV, the salesperson took out the TV, plugged it in and turned it on, and it was indeed the same as the one on the counter.

"Invoicing!" Wang Weidong said.

The salesperson issued an invoice, and Wang Weidong took the ticket to the cashier at the corner to pay and then came back with a ticket.

"This was purchased for our unit, so I need an invoice to prove it!" Wang Weidong said.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Weidong and Bao Qihang walked out of the department store with the TV cardboard box on both sides and walked on the way to the train station.

The people who passed by the two of them first cast their eyes on the cardboard box of the TV and then looked at the two of them.

Wang Weidong feels that the feeling now is more exciting than driving a Bugatti on the street decades later!
The two waited several hours at the train station before boarding the train.

Now that he has no money on him, Wang Weidong is relaxed, and he fell asleep sitting on the chair.Bao Qihang is completely responsible for watching the TV, because Bao Qihang is not sleepy at all!
At around eight in the morning, Wang Weidong and Bao Qihang got off the train carrying the TV.The two rushed to the factory carrying the TV non-stop.

When the workers in the factory saw the TV, they stopped and looked at the TV carton.

"Keep working! I'll show you the snowflakes during lunch!" Wang Weidong said.

Shi Yueshuang and Liu Jianguo were also very efficient. The TV cabinet had already been finished, but it was not painted. The newly made TV antenna was fixed on a five-meter-high wooden pole, and the wires were hanging on the ground, waiting to be connected.

Put the TV into the TV cabinet, insert the crab claws of the antenna into the terminal and tighten it, then plug in the power supply, and now you can watch the TV when you turn it on.

When eating at noon, all the people gathered around the TV. Liu Jianguo turned on the TV and a snowflake appeared on the screen.

That said the TV is good.

"Why do I think it's full of birds, thousands of them are flying around." Shi Yueshuang said with a smile.

The dumb girl Chen Jihong quietly leaned over and put her hands into the TV cabinet. Wang Weidong noticed that she was measuring the length and width of the TV with her hands.

After handing over the invoice for purchasing the TV to Shi Yueshuang, Wang Weidong said, "I'm too tired after running back and forth for two days. Today, Bao Qihang and I will go back to rest and go to work tomorrow!"

The next morning, Wang Weidong walked into the workshop and couldn't help but look at the TV cabinet in the corner. The door of the TV cabinet was closed and there was a small lock on it.

In the morning, during the teaching period of the TV University, Shi Yueshuang, Liu Jianguo and other nine people sat in front of the TV solemnly, watching the somewhat blurred figure on the TV screen, and listening to the rustling teaching sound.

The other workers who were installing the radio turned their heads to look at the TV and the nine people from time to time.

At the end of the lecture, Liu Jianguo was about to close the door of the TV cabinet and lock it, but Chen Jihong walked over quickly and quickly put something on the TV!

Everyone looked at that thing carefully, and it turned out to be a TV cover knitted with wool!Such a valuable thing as a TV must be well protected!

It seemed that the dumb girl Chen Jihong didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and finished knitting the TV cover in one night.

When walking past Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong suddenly lifted his trousers to reveal half of his calf.

Chen Jihong's face turned red all of a sudden.

She immediately understood what Wang Weidong meant. What Wang Weidong meant was that since you are so good at knitting, I don't have woolen pants, didn't you see?
