1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Using a color TV to pay debts

Chen Huiying, who is mainly responsible for cooking recently, is a little troubled because the time when her family members come back is too inconsistent.

The first ones to come back were Haoran and Zhou Xiaoying.

Arrived home at about four or five o'clock.

Lao Li usually waits until six o'clock in the evening.

The second child usually arrives at six o'clock, and the daughter-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, may arrive about half an hour later.

The most troublesome thing for her is the fourth child, Li Duoyu, who has no fixed time at all.

Sometimes, I come back at four or five o'clock.

Sometimes, we're still outside at seven or eight o'clock.

Just like today, it's past seven o'clock, and he's still outside. It's such a cold day, and when he comes back to eat, he doesn't know how many times it's been hot.

In order to provide hot meals and dishes for everyone in the family, Chen Huiying decided not to cook.

During this period, I was buying ribs and pork ribs every day, put in some dried squid, dried razor clams and dried shiitake mushrooms, made a large pot of bone soup, and put some fish **** in it.

Then he asked someone to go to the town and bought a lot of dry butter noodles. He then ate them directly with bone soup noodles.

In this case, no matter what time the family members come back, they can open the pot and have hot soup to drink.

The only bad thing is that the little chubby guy at home seems to have gained a few pounds during this time, and his belly is as round as a ball.

It happens that Li Duoyu also likes to eat butter noodles, soaked in bone soup with various dry goods, and a big fish ball.

The taste is really amazing.

It may also be because the pork nowadays is more delicious. Every time he goes home to eat noodle soup, Li Duoyu always has three big bowls of it.

Li Duoyu, who had eaten and drank enough, came to the courtyard. He wanted to take a few steps to eat, but he didn't expect that it was very cold at night. He took a few breaths into his palms, rubbed them, and ran back to the house.

After everyone finished eating, they either hid in bed early to do some needlework, or sat around the stove to keep warm.

Nearly all the elderly in the village wore cotton-padded jackets, and many of them carried fire baskets made of bamboo strips.

The fire basket contains burning coals, covered with a thick layer of charcoal ash.

In this way, the charcoal will burn very slowly, and the charcoal ash will also lock in the heat. The old man holds it in his hand, just like a hand warmer.

This year it is colder than in previous years.

Li Duoyu suddenly felt worried.

If the cold air continues, some elderly people in poor conditions in the village may be reluctant to spend money to buy thicker quilts.

Li Duoyu is most afraid of them burning charcoal in the room. People in this era don't know what carbon monoxide poisoning is. Many people leave because of this.

Before becoming the village director, Li Duoyu would not think about this issue at all.

Since we are in this position, we must do practical things for the villagers, otherwise we will be like the Wang brothers in the previous life and become people who occupy the manhole and do nothing.

Although I can't help everyone get rich and prosperous together, it is not a big problem to care for the elderly in the village and send them warmth.

That night, after Li Duoyu wiped himself, he got into bed early and used his body to warm Zhou Xiaoying, whose hands and feet were a little cold.

the next day.

After Li Duoyu woke up early in the morning, he originally planned to finish breakfast and go to the eel breeding factory to see the eel fry.

Unexpectedly, the uncle and aunt came to their house early in the morning, holding some gifts in their hands.

The uncle said hello: "There are many fishes. Have you had breakfast?"

The eldest aunt was speechless: "You really have no eyesight. You haven't even brushed your teeth yet. How can you have breakfast?"

Li Duoyu, whose mouth was full of toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth and said, "Uncle, aunt, are you coming to my house so early to find my father? He has already gone out."

“No, I'm not looking for your father. The two of us are specifically looking for you.”

“Looking for me?” Li Duoyu asked doubtfully.

The aunt handed the gift to Li Duoyu's hand and said: "This is the Muscovy duck from Nanri Town, and there are some sea duck eggs. The ducks have been killed." Nanri Town?

Li Duoyu suddenly realized.

Have already guessed why the uncle and aunt came to see him.

The uncle smiled and said: "There are many fishes. Now that the oysters have been harvested and the kelp seedlings have been harvested, didn't we say before that the other party would have to pay two thousand and fourteen yuan before returning the boat to them?"

“That's right, it's two thousand and four.”

The uncle looked helpless: "Here's the thing, your aunt's brother-in-law borrowed money from relatives to buy a boat. He originally made money from fishing boats, but now that the boat is impounded by you, he can't borrow money for a while."

Seeing the uncle's embarrassed look, the other party could not have wanted to default on the bill. Although he was easy to talk to, there were some things that were his bottom line.

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Li Duoyu looked a little angry, Li Niantian waved his hands quickly: "Don't worry, I'm not here to complain. We will definitely collect the money, but can we find another way..."

Seeing Li Niantian walking around, the aunt on the side said with disdain: "I asked you to give me a message, why are you so troublesome? You didn't talk about the key points for a long time."

The eldest aunt said with a smile on her face: "Duoyu, don't worry. My sister's family will definitely compensate for this money. Speaking of which, their family is very grateful to you for not letting my nephew be sentenced to a heavy sentence. It just so happens that I My sister has an imported color TV at home, and I plan to use it to offset part of the compensation. Do you think it can work?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment: "Color TV, what brand is it?"

The eldest aunt was embarrassed for a moment: "I don't know the brand, but my brother-in-law said that I spent more than two thousand yuan to buy this color TV the year before last. It was moved to my house yesterday. Do you want to go over and have a look."

Actually, Li Duoyu was already happy when he heard the color TV, but he pretended to be calm.

Previously, he had planned to buy a color TV. If you don't know how to enjoy making money, then it will be meaningless to make more money.

Zhou Xiaoying also likes watching TV, but due to her status as a teacher, she is too embarrassed to go to other people's homes to watch TV with a group of students.

But it was temporarily cut off due to the shipment of goods.

It's a little troublesome to buy a TV now. Not only do you need a ticket, but you also need a foreign exchange voucher.

So I kept putting off buying a TV. Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to deliver a color TV to my door.

“Okay, then I'll go take a look.”

After arriving at my uncle's house, I thought I would meet Liu Yun's parents here.

But because it was too embarrassing, Liu Yun's parents hurried back to Nanri Town after moving the color TV here yesterday, not even daring to say hello to acquaintances.

As for Li Shuguang and the others, they had already started tinkering with the color TV.

The TV is 18 inches. In this era, the size of this color TV is already very large. Many domestic black and white TVs are only about 14/16 inches in size.

After seeing Li Duoyu arrive, Li Shuguang couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't had no money, I would have bought this color TV."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "If you want it, yes, I can sell you this color TV."

Li Shuguang's mouth twitched. Before he even started negotiating the price, Li Duoyu already regarded this color TV as his own.

“Hurry up and buy this color TV. When the time comes, I will use a loudspeaker to shout to the whole village, asking everyone to come to your house to watch TV. This way my house will be clean.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will buy a video recorder, and everyone who comes to my house to watch movies will have to pay a share."

“Damn it, you're too stingy.”

“This is called having business acumen.”

Li Duoyu looked at this color TV and didn't expect it to be from Toshiba.

Li Duoyu then took a picture of the TV and found that it was quite stable and there was no snowflake screen. It seemed that the picture tube should not be a big problem.

　　"How about one thousand seventeen."

The eldest aunt asked: "Can't it be worth two thousand?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "There is really no way to open it for two thousand. I also bought it from abroad. The purchase price of this color TV was only one thousand and fifty. It was only sold for about two thousand and five in Shangfeng Town. This model , I have been using it for at least two years, and it is already very high when I drive 1,700.”

The uncle said with emotion: "What you said about Duoyu is right. One thousand and seven is one thousand and seven. Hurry up and sail the boat back. If you fish hard for shrimps, you may make your money back by the end of the year."

Following.

The uncle took out a cloth bag and poured out a lot of money. In addition to the Tuan Tuan, there were also a lot of one-yuan notes.

Depending on the situation, it was quite difficult for my aunt's relative to raise the money.
