The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 282 Jia and Zhang show their power again, Li Aiguo gets the TV set

A bunch of old ladies and young wives are sewing wedding quilts.

The chattering was a bit noisy.

Li Aiguo was thinking about the buffet wedding banquet, but he hadn't reported it to the maintenance department yet.

Then he handed over the care of the house to He Yuyu.

He took Chen Xueru out of the house.

Pushing the bicycle, we just walked to the middle courtyard.

I saw the deaf old lady walking this way.

Stop and look carefully.

Damn, isn’t this Jia Zhang’s family?
But what is this old woman going to do with this big sieve?
Mrs. Jia Zhang also saw Li Aiguo at this moment, with a kind smile on her face: "Aiguo, congratulations on your wedding. I thought that your parents died early, so I came back to sew a quilt for you."

"Happy quilt sewing?"

Li Aiguo frowned: "Jia Zhang, are you a living person?"

"I" Jia Zhang was speechless.

At this time, Xu Damao was preparing to send Liu Lan to work. When he saw Jia Zhang appearing, he took a deep breath.

Why is this old woman back?
He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Jia Zhang, Lao Jia has died a long time ago, and Jia Dongxu is probably going to die soon. If you go to sew a quilt, isn't that killing Li Aiguo?"

If it had been in the past, Jia Zhang would have jumped in and sprayed Xu Damao bloody.

But she can't curse.

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes, her triangular eyes squinting: "Xu Damao, I heard that your wife is getting along with other men!"

Strictly speaking, the term "getting along with other men", also known as breaking shoes, just describes a strange state of sexual relations.

As long as it is not intentionally insulting, it is not considered a curse.

Liu Lan was so angry that her face turned red.

On weekdays, the old ladies in the courtyard gossiped secretly behind her back, and no one dared to scold her in person.

Today she finally saw how powerful Jia Zhang was.

Xu Damao didn't expect Jia Zhang to use his big moves at the beginning. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Jia Zhang, you old fool, your house was blown up by Li Aiguo!"

"Your wife is better off with other men."

"Sooner or later, Jia Dongxu will cross his legs."

"Your wife is better off with other men!"

"Lao Jia was so angry with you back then."

"Your wife is better off with other men!"

No matter how Xu Damao scolded her, Jia Zhang insisted that Liu Lan would be better off with other men.

Xu Damao, who has always been eloquent, was at his wits' end for a while.

Finally, seeing more and more people, Liu Lan pulled Xu Damao's arm and told him not to argue with Jia Zhang.

The two left in a hurry.

Jia Zhang won the victory, her head raised like a proud rooster.

Three months later, she, Jia Zhang, finally returned to her throne!

Li Aiguo saw Zhang Gangzhu sharpening a butcher's knife at the door and said, "Brother Gangzhu, guard the door of my house. If Jia Zhang dares to go in, I will chop her down."

"Good Le!"

Zhang Gangzhu picked up the butcher's knife and made two gestures in the air.

The sharp blade reflected a bit of cold light, which was reflected in Jia Zhang's eyes.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that she ran away.

Damn Li Aiguo, he is so difficult to deal with.

Chen Xueru had heard about Jia Zhang's deeds before, and said with a smile: "Brother Patriot, Jia Zhang seems to be fine, not as powerful as the rumors say."

"The biggest characteristic of people like Jia Zhang is that her brain is abnormal. She doesn't think what she does is wrong, but takes it for granted."

Li Aiguo said as he walked: "In addition, she has just returned to the courtyard, so maybe the street office has restrictions, so this is not too much."

Chen Xueru nodded: "Don't worry, I won't deal with these people in the future."

This is what Li Aiguo told Chen Xueru after introducing her to the courtyard.

As long as you don't deal with these beasts, you can avoid 80.00% of the unpleasantness.

The two chatted.

I rode my bicycle to the office of the locomotive section commander.

Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu heard that the residents of the courtyard wanted to raise money for Li Aiguo to hold a wedding banquet.

Also came the spirit.

"This is a good thing. It shows that your mass base is very solid."

"You are now a worker. If you want to go further, you must pay attention to relations with the masses."

He pondered for a moment and said: "Since the crowd is so enthusiastic, we in the locomotive depot cannot be stingy. We might as well cancel the tables in the canteen and go to the courtyard to join in."

This is a good thing.

Li Aiguo agreed immediately.

I thanked Duan Zhang Xing and was about to leave when I was stopped again.

"The TV has been shipped back from the south. You can take it back today."

Only then did Li Aiguo remember that there was another large item that he had not brought back.

Duan Chang Xing wrote a note, stamped it with a red stamp, and handed it to him.

"Go to the logistics office to find Section Chief Zhang."

After leaving the section chief's office, Chen Xueru looked like a happy child along the way.

Television, that's something only big leaders have.

Soon, she thought of an important question.

"Brother Patriot, why did Duanli send you a TV set?"

Li Aiguo considered that Shang Chonghou's case was confidential, so he casually prevaricated it.

Although Chen Xueru didn't believe what Li Aiguo said.

But she was a smart woman and didn't get to the bottom of it.

A while ago, Li Aiguo said that after the TV comes back, he will put it in the dormitory and ask his colleagues to watch it for a few days.

After learning that the TV had been delivered to the dormitory, all members of the 131 crew who were supposed to be off duty gathered together, including Yan Jiecheng.

Li Aiguo placed the kraft paper box on the table, took the scissors from Chen Xueru's hand, and gently opened the package.

A large wooden box was taken out from inside.

Yes, this thing is actually made of wood.

But it's done very delicately.

It was boxy, with a curved screen embedded in the middle of the wooden box.

There are two knobs next to the screen, one for adjusting the station and one for adjusting the volume.There is no nameplate on the fuselage. It must have been removed by the smugglers.

There are two bright silver antennas on the top of the TV.

"Open it!"

Yan Jiecheng moved a small stool and sat down, urging impatiently.

He didn't even have access to the radio at home.

Now I can actually watch TV.

Dare to think? !
Cao Wenzhi, the old master, couldn't hold back his excitement and began to urge.

Li Aiguo asked Chen Xueru to plug in the power and pressed the power switch slowly.

sizzle.
A black and white snowflake appeared on the screen.

Li Aiguo pulled out the TV antenna and slowly turned the knob.

"Dear friends, I wish you greater success in accelerating national construction and striving for lasting peace in the world!"

The sonorous and powerful announcement of Shen Li, the first TV announcer in New China, came from the TV.

A TV screen appeared on the TV with a model of the broadcasting building in the background and the words "Beijing TV Station" written on it.

Female host Shen Li sat at a simple table and read the press release aloud.

There is a globe next to it.

The date and time are not displayed on the TV, so a calendar is hung on the wall in the background.
There is no classic logo either.

It can be said that the entire painting style is similar to Caotaizi.

But I feel relieved when I think that the national TV station will only officially start broadcasting this year.

Yan Jiecheng frowned and crossed his legs: "No, this is a color TV, why is it black and white?"

"I also want to see if Shen Li's skirt is bright red?"

According to folk rumors, Shen Li, the first generation female host in China, wore a special red skirt when broadcasting.

Cao Wenzhi also couldn't figure it out: "That's it, did the grandsons from the Guangcheng Locomotive Depot transfer the contract to you? No, we have to talk to them!"

Seeing that Cao Wenzhi was about to stand up and look for Duan Zhang Xing, Li Aiguo stopped him in a hurry.

"Master, there is no mistake in the paragraph. This is indeed a color TV."

"It's just that our domestic TV stations have not yet adopted the color system, so the TV pictures are still black and white."

Li Aiguo also figured it out now.

Feeling a little disappointed.

Didn’t this guy use his Ferrari as a tractor?

"The black and white one is pretty good too. I've even watched it on TV!" Chen Xueru didn't mind.

Captain Bai and the other crew members also nodded.

In these years, no more than 5.00% of the people in China have watched TV.

When they leave here today, they have bragging rights.

After the news program ended, the TV began to replay the "May Day Celebration Forum" from a while ago.

This is the first program recorded in China.

Although it looks a bit old, it has the flavor of the times.

Li Aiguo and the comrades in the crew watched it with great interest, and even dinner was hastily prepared in the canteen of the locomotive depot.

The time came to ten o'clock in the evening unknowingly.

Accompanied by a voice: "Dear viewers in front of the TV station, today's program is over. See you tomorrow."

The picture on the TV was replaced by a mosaic map.

Stopped.
Li Aiguo raised his wrist and realized that it was already getting late.

"Patriot, this thing is so interesting."

"Yes, when I have money in the future, I will buy one too."

"You, even if you have money, can't buy it. We can't produce it in our country for the time being."

Li Aiguo waved his hand at the eccentric Yan Jiecheng: "Don't worry, now the Jincheng Radio Factory has been put into construction, and it will take less than two years to produce our own TV sets."

The big guys are actually just talking about it.

Even if TV sets are produced, they are not cheap.

They all live on trains all year round and are better informed than the average person.

The price of a smuggled color TV set like this in the pigeon market is 800 yuan each.

It is equal to three years’ salary of an ordinary worker’s bonus.

Not to mention that when I buy a TV, I will definitely need a TV ticket.

It’s better to find ways to learn from Li Aiguo and strive to make contributions to the locomotive department, that’s the business!

The night was getting darker.

The comrades in the locomotive depot's charter team rubbed their eyes, stood up, and left in twos and threes.

"Patriot, come on tonight!"

Before Zhou Ke left, he left behind a puzzling sentence.

"piss off."

Li Aiguo closed the door.

He and Chen Xueru were the only two people left in the room.

Chen Xueru hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother Patriot, it's getting late. I have to go back."

"I send you."

Li Aiguo put on his clothes and sent Chen Xueru downstairs.

Chen Xueru went to push the bicycle, only to find that the wheels had been deflated by someone and shriveled up.

Li Aiguo could only push his bicycle, but the wheels of that bicycle were also deflated.

"Who is so mean!"

I gave Zhou Ke a thumbs up in my heart: "Good brother, I deserve to take care of you like a brother!"

"It's seven or eight miles from here to my home." Chen Xueru pursed her lips, looking forward to it.

Li Aiguo smiled and stepped forward: "Then just stay tonight. Anyway, we have obtained the certificate."

The two walked upstairs hand in hand.

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Qingquan walked out of the hut.

He looked at the backs of the two of them and scratched his head with his unwashed hands: "Master Liu, did Aiguo marry a stupid wife? We obviously have a pump in the duty room of the locomotive depot, why don't you borrow it."

"Snapped!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the head.

"You know how to make a fool of yourself," Liu Qingquan said loudly.
