Ordinary life starting from a courtyard

Chapter 20 20: A small fortune

Zhou Wenliang tried to tune the channel, and there was no problem turning it around, and the voice was clear.

Looking at the shell, it seems to be almost new. Although there is a corner that has been flattened, it is a small defect.

Listening to the news summary inside, Zhou Wenliang sat on the seat and smiled with satisfaction.

Keep this Mido radio for my own use.

The remaining two radios were repaired. One electronic tube peony 911 radio had two speakers broken inside, and the electronic tube was also broken.

It can be used after replacing the parts, but it is too old and the shell cannot be washed.

Another Feilo 271 electronic tube radio, this one is even more damaged. It is an old model from the 50s and has been soaked in water. It may have been exposed to rain. The components inside are all broken, and the four speakers are useless.

When Mother Zhou came back from get off work, she saw the smog in the house, covered her nose and shouted, "Xiao Liang, what are you doing, the room smells so burnt..."

Zhou Wenliang almost hit his finger with the soldering iron, it was scary, he was working hard to change parts, it was quite sudden.

Looking up at the room, there was indeed a lot of smoke. He burned the wire sheath and soldered the wires, and the smoke was a little bit louder.

"It's all right, fixing things. Mom, how about these two radios."

When Zhou's mother heard this, she hurried to the door to have a look, and saw a radio on the table, a disassembled one next to the table, and a new one under the table!
"Xiao Liang, where did you get the radio!" Mother Zhou asked in surprise.

"Mom, second-hand..." Zhou Wenliang grinned and explained clearly to Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother was shocked: "You fixed it yourself?"

Zhou Wenliang nodded: "Yes, the one on the table hasn't been repaired yet, and all the parts are broken. I'm going to sell a few components later."

Zhou Wenliang also said that he was making ore radios, but now he is making wool, and there are not enough components.

Zhou's mother was really happy, praised again and again, looked at the radio curiously, and was very careful when touching it, not good for the baby, as if she was afraid of breaking it.

Zhou Wenliang rode his bicycle to the hardware section of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the missing components. This time they were all new ones. Electronic tubes were the most expensive. They cost one yuan and thirty cents each, so I bought one. It was too expensive, and the rest were acceptable. A total of three There are many blocks.

When Zhou Wenwen came back at noon, she was even more happy to see the radio, but Zhou's mother wouldn't let her touch it, which made her yell.

In the end, she couldn't resist her, and let her listen for a while, and after a while, Liu Haizhong was attracted.

He ate at the rolling mill and wanted to sleep when he came back. When he passed the front yard, he heard the sound of the radio broadcast, and he followed the sound and came in.

The family was eating, watching Liu Haizhong enter the room without speaking, staring at the radio, Zhou Wenliang asked, "Second uncle, what do you do?"

Zhou's mother stood up and said politely: "Second uncle, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you can eat here."

"I, I ate." Liu Haizhong reacted, pointing to the radio: "Your family bought a radio!"

"Yes, I bought one." Zhou Wenliang's heart moved, he quickly finished his last mouthful, wiped his mouth, stood up, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, how about my radio, Shanghai Mido brand radio, Receive more than a dozen channels."

Liu Haizhong looked at the radio, feeling extremely rare.

Secretly said: How many firsts has this kid won in the courtyard?First bicycle and now first radio.

Forget about a bicycle, but he doesn't need it. The place to work is close, so he can ride it. He has wanted to buy this radio for a long time, but it is too expensive and he is reluctant to buy it.

Zhou's mother: "Wenwen, don't eat yet, pour a glass of water for your third uncle."

"Oh."

Zhou Wenliang pulled Liu Haizhong to sit on the chair, Zhou Wenwen put the water glass on the table, and said, "Third Master, drink water."

"Hey." Liu Haizhong nodded, never taking his eyes off the radio.

Zhou Wenliang laughed secretly, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice: "Second uncle, I know someone, do you want a radio?"

Liu Haizhong was taken aback, he heard this sentence clearly, pursed his lips, first glanced at Zhou Mu and Zhou Wenwen, and saw that they were staring at them intently.

"Wen Liang, come out with me." Liu Haizhong stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Wenliang almost couldn't help laughing, who would show this look of wanting but not daring to want it.

Zhou Wenliang also came out, saw Liu Haizhong waiting for him by the steps in the front yard, walked over and said, "Second uncle, why did you come out, don't listen to me in the room."

Liu Haizhong gave him a hard look, hooked him with one word, and asked why he came out, "You said just now that you know someone who can buy a radio?"

"Yes, I know one." Zhou Wenliang nodded.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with the radio, is it?"

Zhou Wenliang thought it over a long time ago, and said, "I don't have an invoice, so it's second-hand. Do you want it? It's guaranteed to work, mainly because it's cheap."

He bought it from the scrap yard, and the receipt was for a worn-out and scrapped radio, and there was no way to take it out. Why would he charge a high price for it?

Liu Haizhong nodded knowingly, he knew it, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't even have a ticket for your radio, do you?"

What do you mean, you want to threaten him with this?Zhou Wenliang: "My family has it. I bought it at a trust store with a formal receipt. If you want an invoice, you can do it, but it's a bit more expensive, so you might as well go to a trust store to buy it.

I met this friend when I bought it in a trust store. You are the second uncle in this courtyard. I have always thought of you when I have benefits.

If you don't want it, forget it. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Wenliang was about to leave, Liu Haizhong quickly grabbed him, "Hey, don't go, the second uncle didn't say anything else."

He is satisfied with Zhou Wenliang's attitude, at least it is beneficial to know that he is thinking of him, unlike the silly Zhu in the courtyard, who always beats him when he cooks.

"How much is one, and what kind?"

"Manufactured by Jingcheng Radio Factory, do you know what brand of radio it is?"

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth in surprise: "Peony card!"

No way, the most popular radio in the 50s was the Peony brand radio, especially in the capital area.

"Peony" has been given to foreign guests as a national gift.

This radio is generally used by cadres, artists, or people with relatively high incomes.

Although there is no radio in Liu Hai, he has also heard of it. His workshop director has one.

"Yes, it's the Peony brand radio, Peony 911, an export model. A new one sells for more than 400. And this one is old, 7% new. I've seen it. I didn't buy it because I didn't have enough money. If I bought it This one, what a face."

When Liu Haizhong heard the new 300+, his heart beat a little, and he asked, "You, how much is your friend's set?"

"One hundred and eight."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Haizhong retreated immediately, and then muttered in shock: "One hundred and eight! One hundred and eight I can buy a new one, what do I want your old one for?"

Zhou Wenliang suppressed a smile and explained: "Second uncle, what you said is wrong!

Think about it, this is a peony brand. The cheapest one is 160 yuan, and you need industrial coupons.

Although my friend's Peony 911 is a bit old, where is the price?

Moreover, the appearance of the radio is grand, the volume is clear, and there are many channels to receive, which is just right for you.There is also face in taking it out.

Another one is that you often listen to important national events. If there is a major event that you don't hear clearly, it would be a pity. "

Liu Haizhong was really moved by what he said, especially this compliment, which really spoke to his heart. He bought the radio to listen to the important affairs of the Guo family and learn how to be an official.

Learn how to speak in it, or else you can't speak in an official accent.

In the end, Liu Haizhong negotiated the price. Zhou Wenliang chatted with him for a long time, and he got 170 yuan. He asked Liu Haizhong to go back and wait for him to take the radio to his home later.

He couldn't let him see that the radio was moved from Zhou's house.

I saw it, so I'm not telling the truth.

Watching Liu Haizhong go away, Zhou Wenliang looked at the money in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled.

"It's a small profit!"
