Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Early the next morning, Li Pingan got up early and went straight to the rolling mill with the TV. When he arrived at the rolling mill, he learned that Chen Youfu was not in the factory when he went out for a meeting.

Li Huaide was not in the factory, and Li Pingan didn't bother to go to Wu Yajun to report the completion of the procurement task, so he directly moved the TV to the infirmary.

Director Wang in the infirmary looked at the TV in front of him with a smile. He was very tactful and did not arrange for Ding Qiunan to receive a doctor in the morning. In the empty ward, secretly watching the program broadcast on the TV in the morning.

When I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, I got the news that Li Huaide had returned. There was no TV program in the afternoon, and even Ding Qiunan couldn't watch it in the infirmary. Li Pingan put the TV in the cardboard box again and carried it to Li Huaide's office.

"Oh, good, good, I did not misread you, Comrade Pingan, you are good, you bought the TV so quickly, the organization will definitely not bury an outstanding talent like you."

Li Huaide, who was in the office, heard that Li Pingan had purchased the TV set so quickly, and immediately stood up and praised Li Pingan, hinting in his words that he would give Li Pingan a promotion.

"I'm not a very busy talented person. You are really overrated. By the way, Director, this TV is not made in China. It is an early product produced by Big Brother. Please open the box to see if you are satisfied."

Li Pingan said and moved the TV out of the cardboard box.Li Huaide, who was still smiling at first, when he saw the TV, his hastily smile gradually disappeared, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Seeing the expression on Li Huaide's face, Li Pingan immediately guessed that Li Huaide was dissatisfied with the TV. He guessed it, but Li Pingan didn't want to find a new TV again. Even Li Pingan, the first-generation TV produced by Big Brother, may not be able to find it.

TVs are so expensive now, in the name of a rolling mill, Li Huaide had to spend a lot of effort to get a TV ticket. Li Huaide knew how difficult it is to get a TV without a TV ticket, so he paid the real money , and said sincerely: "Peace, I don't hide it from you. The reason why I want to buy two TVs is that your sister-in-law wants to watch one of them. Do you think your sister-in-law will be happy if I take this TV back?" ?”

The reason why Li Huaide was able to gain momentum in this struggle was not only because of his decisive insight into the upcoming social struggle situation, but also because his father-in-law helped contain the big leaders at the top. Without his father-in-law, Factory Director Yang would have It is impossible to be captured by Li Huaide so easily.

Don't think that Li Huaide wants wind and rain in the factory, in fact, Li Huaide has been suppressed by his wife at home, that is, his wife forced Li Huaide to want a TV, otherwise Li Huaide would not have made such an effort.

Li Huaide confessed the truth sincerely, immediately blocked Li Pingan's refusal, sighed, and said resignedly: "Director Li, I will think about the TV, but the new machine I don’t have much hope, let me see if I can buy you an old one.”

"Old ones are not bad, but it can't be this kind of small screen machine made by Big Brother. At least it must be about the same as the domestic 14-inch. Of course, it would be better if I can get a new one, so I can deal with your sister-in-law."

"Director, I understand, what about this TV?"

"This... By the way, isn't Dr. Ding about to give birth in three more months? You take this TV home and use it to relieve Dr. Ding's boredom when he is in confinement."

With Li Huaide's words, Li Pingan didn't hesitate to hold the TV and left. He didn't want me to want it, but it was a TV after all. Ding Qiunan must be happy to know the news.

Before Li Pingan didn't directly intercept the TV set, it was because the TV set in an ordinary cadre's family these days was too eye-catching. If someone didn't like it and reported it, it would be easy to cause trouble for himself. Now with Li Huaide's promise, Li Pingan was still afraid of the trouble of a hammer.

If anyone asks, let him go to Li Huaide, the top leader of the ten-thousand-man factory, it's no joke, the family area around the rolling mill is completely under Li Huaide's world, no monsters dare to come here to find trouble.

Coming out of Li Huaide's office with the TV in his arms, Li Pingan drove a jeep straight to the yard of the rolling mill.

Yes, Li Pingan is not going to put this TV in the courtyard. What happened last night is disgusting to death. If you continue to carry the TV back home, don’t think about living a quiet life in the future. Overcrowded.

At this time, the family courtyard is already full of people. Since these new buildings have built a large number of standard rooms, many residents have to stuff things that cannot fit at home into the corridors. When the corridors are full, people will naturally move them Focus on the open space in the courtyard.

In addition to the accumulation of all kinds of sundries, there are also many old men and women who went out to pick up rags, and piles of them were placed in various corners of the yard where things could be placed.

Finding a corner to park the jeep, Li Pingan, holding the TV, couldn't help frowning as he watched the situation in the yard.It's okay that it's cold now, but if we don't stop it, won't this courtyard become a dump of garbage when the weather gets hotter?
It seems that I will talk to the logistics people later, this family courtyard must be managed, so it doesn't matter what it is like to be so laissez-faire.

After all, the building where Li Pingan lives is a cadre building, and the housing conditions are good, so there is no debris piled up in the corridor. He easily went up to the third floor with the box in his arms, and put the TV in the living room. on the coffee table,

At this time, the living room has already placed a set of sofa, coffee table and some simple decorations. I took a brief look at the layout of the house. Since the house came down, Ding Qiunan and Da Ma were responsible for the decoration and purchase, and Li Pingan hadn't seen it yet.

The current house design concept is residential type, the house is a place to sleep, so the room will be as large as possible, the family’s daily life is in the bedroom, and the living room is completely a place to eat, if it is not considered that the cadres need to receive guests In the living room of Li Pingan's house, it is estimated that there is barely a dining table.

Seeing that the bedrooms were still empty, Li Pingan thought about taking advantage of the afternoon to buy a piece of antique furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the trust store to fill in, otherwise the empty room is not so serious.

Li Pingan did what he said, temporarily put aside the troublesome TV set, and drove the jeep straight to the trust store.

Today's antique furniture is very easy to find and change. I found Wang Dakui and reported my needs, saying that I wanted Huanghuali beds and furniture. Said a bag of big front doors. Wang Dakui bared his teeth and led Li Pingan to their warehouse to pick out by himself.

At first glance, all of them are good things. There are no items that cannot be bought by millions in future generations. Li Pingan didn’t choose too much. There are too many opinions on this game. It’s not convenient to buy it back now. Let's talk about it later.

I randomly selected a few pieces of Ming and Qing furniture made of good wood, paid for the invoice, and called the boss at the door. The jeep took the lead, followed by two trucks, and the three trucks drove straight to the family yard of the steel rolling mill.

Another person gave fifty cents and asked the two masters to carry the heavy solid wood furniture to the third floor. After they had all moved in, they looked at their watches. It was still some time before the rolling mill got off work.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Pingan sat alone on the sofa thinking about where to get a TV.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Pingan took out the gold bars he fished out of the river yesterday from his pocket and fumbled for it. If it really didn't work out, he would ask foreigners to buy it for him.

"I don't know if the people in the Albanian embassy can speak Chinese. If they speak English or Russian, they will not be able to communicate even if they are blocked." Li Pingan, who thinks about the TV and has a big head, grabs his hair with both hands and mumbles Soliloquy.

The memories of the two lifetimes combined do not have a high degree of education. In the previous life, he was a college student with a conceivable level of English and no ability to communicate normally.

Although Yuanben also studied Russian in the technical secondary school, he was not very good at it. He was completely dumb in Russian, and his spoken English was not as good as Li Pingan's English.

Just when Li Pingan was thinking, he suddenly remembered the big home appliances that he put into the warehouse when he was picking up junk at Lou's house.

Thinking of this, Li Pingan quickly went into the warehouse to check the tatters of the Lou family. At that time, the Lou family had just left. Li Pingan was worried that the Lou family would forget something and came back suddenly. They picked up things in a hurry. Some large items were put into the warehouse without careful inspection. .

I remember that Lou’s family even had a refrigerator and an oven at that time, and they should also have a TV, right?
After searching carefully in the warehouse, Li Pingan really found a TV.

Take the TV out of the warehouse and put it on the tea table. After careful observation, you can't tell which country's machine it is from the appearance.

After careful inspection behind the TV, he found the nameplate on the TV, and based on the English words stored in Li Pingan's mind, he easily recognized the meaning of a few letters.

This twelve-inch TV is a tube TV made in England in the 40s.

Seeing this TV, Li Pingan quickly pushed the switch at home from the outside, plugged the TV into the socket, and turned on the power button. Under Li Pingan's expectant eyes, the TV screen slowly lit up.

"Fuck! Awesome"

Who would have thought that the troubles that had embarrassed him for two days could be solved so easily, Li Pingan excitedly waved his fists twice, and the national essence blurted out.

Now that the TV problem was solved, Li Pingan didn't waste any more time in the family home. He just put the TV on the coffee table, hurried downstairs and drove the small jeep straight to the rolling mill.

Back to the factory to pick up Yi Zhonghai and Ding Qiunan, instead of going back directly to the courtyard, he took them to the new house of the family courtyard.

The two were very puzzled by Li Ping'an's behavior of not going home for dinner, and asked why they were going to the family home at this time.

Li Pingan did not explain this question, but took the two of them straight to the third floor.

At this time, the rolling mill was off duty, and the family members lived in the rolling mill. On the way to the third floor, Li Pingan met many acquaintances. Faced with the actions of the acquaintances who wanted to stop talking, Li Pingan refused one after another. , leading the two of them head upstairs with sullen heads.

When Li Pingan took out the key to open the door, he turned his head and whispered to Ding Qiunan: "Qiunan, after you enter the house, don't yell when you see the things in the house."

"What? I was still yelling," Ding Qiunan asked curiously.

Li Pingan smiled slightly, without explaining, just opened the door and stood at the door to let the two of them in.

After the bewildered Ding Qiunan walked into the room, he suddenly saw two TVs on the coffee table.

At that time Ding Qiunan was so happy that he wanted to yell, but Li Pingan, who had been paying attention to Ding Qiunan, covered Ding Qiunan's mouth from behind, and blocked the cry in Ding Qiunan's mouth.

Li Pingan can stop Ding Qiunan, but not Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai was also shocked when he saw the two TVs, but he is old. Instead of yelling, he turned his head and whispered in surprise : "Ping An, what's the matter? We will have two TVs in this room?"

Ding Qiunan, who broke free, also turned his head and stared at Li Pingan with those shining eyes.

Looking at the eyes of the two, Li Pingan asked them to sit down first, and then began to talk about what happened in the factory in the morning.

Of course, it cannot be said that this TV set belongs to Lou Xiaoe's family. Li Pingan made an excuse for this TV set, saying that it was bought at a high price from a trust store.

Ding Qiunan didn't care where the extra TV came from. At this moment, all his attention was on the TV made by Big Brother. When he knew that this TV would be his own in the future, Ding Qiunan stared blankly. He looked at the time with an idiot expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, our house will be considered to have a TV in the future, it's good to put it in the family courtyard, and no one will disturb you when you move here in the future," Yi Zhonghai said with emotion.

After experiencing what happened last night, Yi Zhonghai naturally knew the reason why Li Pingan put the TV here. After he went back last night, he was often scolded by the aunt, so naturally he would not touch this bad luck again today.

"Uncle, let's not talk about that TV set, let's see if we can make a casing for this TV set today?"

The Lou family is the director of the steel rolling mill, so Li Huaide naturally visited the Lou family. Since Li Huaide wanted to move this TV home, Li Ping'an was worried about being recognized by Li Huaide, so he thought of giving it to Yi Zhonghai, who had some carpentry skills. After work overtime, make a shell and put it on.

"Make a new casing?" Yi Zhonghai was taken aback when he heard Li Ping'an's words, looked up and down the TV casing, found no damage, and said puzzledly: "This TV casing is quite new, and it's in good condition." Why a new shell?"

Naturally, Li Pingan couldn't tell the real situation, so he started from the place of origin of this TV. Anyway, it is now in a state of opposition. This reason is also reasonable, and Yi Zhonghai naturally nodded in agreement. (end of this chapter)
