Rebirth 1983

Chapter 86
The fact that Chen Song's family bought a TV spread throughout Chenjia'ao in an instant.

After all, there is no TV in the whole Chenjia'ao, not even the brigade village committee has one, even if it is a second-hand TV.

On the second night, when the sun just set, countless people poured into Chen Song's house.

Chen Song's new house is not small, but it can't accommodate so many people. Adults, children and the elderly are all crowded in one room, and they can't move. Even watching TV is too crowded.

In desperation, Chen Song had no choice but to put the TV in the yard and connect a long wire to it.

People from every household brought their own stools and came to the small yard of Chen Song's house, put down the stools and waited quietly.

Many blind dates come to Chen Song for the first time, and the memories of the past are still in the impression of the pig shed that is about to collapse. Suddenly, this place has become an antique small bungalow with red bricks, blue tiles and carved wooden windows, which is magnificent!
Before the TV started, everyone began to comment on Chen Song's house.

"I heard that Songwazi had two acres of dry land and a pig shed when the family was separated. Such a big house was built so soon! I didn't expect Songwazi to have this ability. If my son has this ability, I will burn incense!"

"Your son is not bad, he is also good at working in the field. It's a pity, how can a businessman make money by farming now. How much do you think Songwazi earns?"

"You're out of date now. He's a big business in the county. I heard he's made hundreds of dollars!"

"Several hundred, that's old calendar. When I was chatting with Daniu's father, I heard him say that he spent only five thousand for the operation. Look, the big cow who worked with Song Wazi has earned so much, doesn't he earn more!"

The people around listened to these people chatting, and when they heard this, they gasped and jumped into the topic one after another.

"I don't know if they are still short of people. I also want to follow them. They have only been doing it for a few months, and they have been able to beat me for several years."

"Forget it, you don't have the brains of Songwazi, so you'd better plan your food honestly."

"Songwazi is so rich now. Not only does he have a house, but he also buys a TV set. Do you know how much a TV set costs? I heard people in the county say that it costs several hundred dollars, and you have to ask for a ticket. This ticket must not cost 200 yuan! You say such a capable man, who knows which woman will be cheaper in the future?"

"Speaking of which, Songwazi hasn't said goodbye yet, how about..."

"It's up to you to say that Mo Wazi's mother-in-law introduced a little cousin from her natal family? I heard from Huang Qin that the family wanted a gift of [-] yuan and three major items, but Song Wazi refused on the spot."

"One thousand? What a ghost, why is the woman so cruel?"

"I'm crazy about money, I think it's not as good as Widow Wang? You said that Song Wazi and Widow Wang are so close, and now they don't hide it. Is it true that there is adultery?"

"What kind of adultery, she is a widow, and the man is not married, if they really get together, it's okay!"

"It's okay...it's a widow...hey, when I didn't say..."

The wives and mothers gathered together to discuss, some of them were actively participating in gossip and chatting while eating melon seeds, so it was very lively.

Many men around obviously wanted to join in, but this circle was full of women, a little embarrassed, so they leaned close to their bodies, pricked up their ears, and listened to their continuous voices.

Chen Song didn't care about these people's gossip, he only cared about connecting and pulling the wires himself, and finally successfully connected the wires, and the socket on the TV was plugged into the cable board.

"Okay, everyone, watch TV."

With sharp eyes, he saw the scene of Chen Song powering up the TV, and immediately reminded him loudly.

Everyone quickly dispersed, returned to their seats, and concentrated on watching Chen Song tinkering with the TV.

I saw Chen Song pull up the antenna on the TV, and then set up a mesh antenna on a tree in the yard. He walked back and turned on the TV. Suddenly the screen was lit up with snowflakes, and the noise was harsh. Chen Song hurriedly adjusted the channel, and soon a clear picture appeared on the TV.

"There is."

A few folks sitting in front suddenly laughed, pointing to the TV to signal to everyone behind them to watch, quite excited.

Several children also quieted down, being held in the arms of adults, watching TV quietly.

Yesterday's "Wu Song" was still playing on the TV. The plot was very exciting. Chen Song glanced at it and found that it was the replay of last night. He had already watched it.

Although Chen Song had seen it, the fellow villagers hadn't. Seeing their interesting looks, Chen Song shook his head.

Neither Chen Aiguo nor Chen Mo's family came. The main reason was that the news spread too fast. Before Chen Song had time to tell Chen Aiguo that he bought a TV set, the villagers came to his house!
As soon as he thought about Chen Aiguo, Chen Song saw his father and entered the courtyard. Behind him, Huangqin, Chen Mo, and sister-in-law Zheng Liangdi entered the courtyard in a row carrying their nephews.

When Chen Aiguo saw so many people in the yard, he was taken aback, thinking what happened?When he fixed his eyes and saw that everyone was staring at the TV in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom and Dad, big brother and sister-in-law are here." Chen Song greeted and quickly moved two benches out.

"Song baby, this..."

Chen Aiguo pointed to a group of people in front of him, they were all from the village, they were all acquaintances, but they were all crowded here, which still caught him by surprise.

"Dad, you guys came at a good time. I just got the TV set yesterday. Before it's warmed up, you already know it. There's nothing I can do about it. I can only move it out for everyone to watch together."

"How can you spend money so much? This thing is not cheap." Chen Aiguo looked around at the folks in front of him, making sure that they were all concentrating on watching TV, then lowered his voice and said, "Even if you become a million-dollar household, you can't spend money indiscriminately. Don't you understand the principle of sitting and eating?"

"Dad, don't worry, I know it well." Chen Song nodded, smiled and pulled them to sit down: "I have to buy it sooner or later. After the National Day, I plan to start a new business. I won't just sit and eat. Don't worry, Dad."

"Just make up your own mind."

Chen Aiguo nodded and stopped talking. After all, his son's achievements are higher than his own now, so it's useless to talk too much.

"Third brother."

The sister-in-law was uncharacteristically, instead of being arrogant and arrogant, she smiled obsequiously in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with sitting on the bench?" Chen Song asked rhetorically.

"No, no, I'll just ask, do you remember Zheng Yufang?" the sweeper asked tentatively.

"Zheng Yufang." Instantly came to Chen Song's mind, the scene of Zhang Shipeng leading Zheng Yufang in Zhiweiguan in the provincial capital, and Zheng Yufang's face immediately became clear.

"It's my little cousin. Didn't I kiss you before?" the sister-in-law reminded.

"Oh, I remember, it's the one who sold the daughter, didn't I scold her away?" Of course Chen Song remembered her, but he didn't know why the sister-in-law mentioned this person now.

"Let me tell you, people don't want a bride price now! They just like you. If you think about such a beautiful girl, you want to marry you. Tell me, are you so lucky! Sister-in-law, I don't even know why my little cousin can't forget you, and even recognizes you!"

The sister-in-law smiled, and wanted to recommend Zheng Yufang to Chen Song, and she didn't forget to say good things to him.

"Did you fall in love with me? Hehe, I think it's something that others don't want, just give it to me!" Chen Song's face darkened, and he stared at the sister-in-law with a bad look: "Sister-in-law, I respect you as a sister-in-law. I don't want to pursue the past, but you don't want to keep trying to trick me. The Zheng Yufang you mentioned is not a good bird. Is it a shame to marry someone from the city?"

"How do you know?" The sister-in-law covered her mouth in surprise.

"I know a lot of things. For the sake of big brother, I don't care about you. Next time, I will try to trick me..." Chen Song snorted softly, and walked away from his sister-in-law to greet everyone.

The sister-in-law walked back to Chen Mo's side. Chen Mo was holding the child while watching TV. Seeing that his mother-in-law was in a bad mood, she immediately asked, "What's wrong, I'm unhappy again, watching TV."

"Look at what to see, what's so good about it!"

Chen Mo felt bored, seeing his mother-in-law's appearance, and sighed inwardly, fearing that he would provoke his third younger brother again for no reason.

I don't know why she and the third brother can't get along, they were so gentle and kind before they got married...
