Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 370 Big TV

......

I had originally planned to go home early to accompany Ran Qiuye and Nian Qiu, but after leaving the instant noodle factory, I had to go to the steel rolling mill for a meeting. It was already past five in the evening when I got home.

That familiar courtyard.

Although he had been away for only a short time, He Yuzhu felt a little guilty when he came back.

This trip brought me several new troubles.

Whether Lou Xiaoe discovers it or Ran Qiuye knows about it, it will become a difficult situation.

Even though they don't know it now, he still feels sorry for them in his heart.

If conditions permit, he really wants to tell everyone the truth.

However, sometimes being honest can be harmful.

In order not to hurt the loved one, I have no choice but to hide everything.

After standing at the door and thinking for a while, He Yuzhu finally walked into the yard.

The front yard was deserted; the third uncle and his family were not there.

When we arrived at the middle courtyard, we saw little Nianqiu playing happily with his friends.

After seeing his lovely daughter, he gently picked up Nian Qiu and kissed her.

"Do you miss dad?"

"Of course I miss you, I miss you so much..."

The child said coquettishly.

"Uncle~"

Xiao Deng also ran over, and He Yuzhu touched her head with a smile.

As if hearing the sound outside, Ran Qiuye hurried to the door to greet them, his eyes full of tenderness.

He Yuzhu smiled at her, and at that moment the longing in his heart almost overflowed.

Each of them was given a handful of chocolate candies, which made Nianqiu and Xiaodeng laugh happily.

He Yuzhu walked into the room and hugged Ran Qiuye tightly.

Smelling her fresh scent, he felt very peaceful and calm.

"The door is not closed properly. It would be bad if others saw it..."

Ran Qiuye hugged him gently, then pushed him away shyly.

He Yuzhu blinked and understood what she meant, and just closed the door.

He Yuzhu turned around and locked the door.

Ran Qiuye's beautiful face immediately turned red and her eyes sparkled.

I have missed her for countless days and nights, and at this moment, they have all become warm and sweet.

.....

.....

"Dad and the others..."

Watching the door close.

Nian Qiu muttered softly, peeled off a piece of chocolate candy and put it in his mouth, savoring the slightly bitter yet sweet taste, and sighed helplessly.

I didn't go to Japan with you this time.

Failed to stop them, dad must have met the person she missed in Japan.

This meeting may be a lifelong thing.

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little angry, blaming my dad for being so ignorant.

But let’s talk about the most infuriating thing.

It’s still about Zhou Xiaobai.

As for the girl in Japan, I just like to listen to her songs, there is no special relationship. But when I think about delaying my sister, this matter is really important!

So now, Nian Qiu hopes to go to America as soon as possible.

I heard from my dad before that he planned to take my mom to visit my grandparents.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to help Zhou Xiaobai be reunited with his family.

After making up my mind,

He Nianqiu ate another chocolate candy, but found that Xiao Deng didn't eat any of it. He just put it in his pocket, so he asked curiously: "Xiao Deng, why don't you eat it? Why did you put it away?"

"I want to leave it to Sister Sisi..."

Xiao Deng looked serious.

Nian Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that there was no point in playing with her anymore.

What a little white wolf. He can’t get close to me even when I play with him every day. He is even unwilling to share some of the candy with me and actually leaves it all to sister Sisi.

How infuriating!

You don’t want to eat, right?

Keep it for Sisi, right?

See if you can resist the temptation.

inside the house,

Ran Qiuye enjoyed a gentle moment, feeling He Yuzhu's endless care and love, with a sweet but shy expression on her face. "Don't do this, don't do this..."

"what's wrong?"

He Yuzhu rubbed her face with his chin.

"Didn't we agree to give the old lady a TV? The old man doesn't know how to install it and it's giving him a headache. You can go and take a look."

Ran Qiuye blushed and whispered, "I still have to cook, I'll come back in the evening..."

"All right......"

Although he felt regretful, he did not insist. He hugged her again for a while and kissed her goodbye affectionately. He only opened the door and left after being pushed away by Ran Qiuye several times.

in the yard,

Seeing Nianqiu eating candy one bite after another, while Xiaodeng stood aside and watched eagerly. He Yuzhu felt strange, walked over, picked up Nianqiu and gave her a kiss, and said with a smile: "Xiaodeng, why don't you eat the candy? Did Nianqiu steal your candy?"

"No......"

This time, he couldn't even act, and Nian Qiu pouted in grievance.

I was already dissatisfied with this little Deng who only rolled his eyes, but I didn't expect that now even my dad misunderstood me.

"Uncle replied, Nian Qiu didn't steal my candy."

Xiao Deng said obediently: "I want to leave the candy for Sister Sisi."

"So that's how it is. I wronged Nian Qiu. I'm really sorry."

He Yuzhu quickly comforted Nianqiu, patted Xiaodeng's head, and said with a smile: "No need to leave it all for her, uncle still has a lot, come and eat it."

Xiao Deng pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then reached into her pocket and took out a piece of candy.

When He Nianqiu heard that there was still some left, she immediately blinked her big eyes and acted cute.

"Dad, Nianqiu has finished eating all the candy, and he wants more."

"Be good, eating too much candy is bad for your stomach. I'll give you some tomorrow."

He Yuzhu smiled and kissed her on the face.

He Nianqiu pursed her lips in grievance, tears almost falling.

Isn't this just a joke on children?

Seeing her appearance, He Yuzhu quickly kissed her on the face again and coaxed her, "No more candy. Daddy will take you to watch TV."

"TV is better than candy. There are people telling stories on it. It's really fun."

What's good to watch on TV?

There weren't even any cartoons these days.

He Nianqiu still wanted to eat chocolate candy.

"Uncle Zhuzi, is there really a little man who can tell stories in that big box?"

Xiao Deng widened her eyes with curiosity.

He Yuzhu patted her head, smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are a lot. Come on, uncle will take you to see it."

"okay..."

Xiao Deng nodded expectantly.

He Nianlou muttered in his heart: What a kid, so easy to fool.

However, apart from playing the ticking game and hopscotch every day, it is indeed a bit boring.

Thinking of this, watching TV seems to be a good choice.

"Okay, let's go watch TV..."

He Yuzhu held little Nianqiu in his arms and held Xiao Deng's hand as they walked towards the deaf grandmother's house in the backyard.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that there were a lot of people crowded in the room, all looking curiously at the rectangular TV with a protruding screen.

No wonder the front yard and the middle yard are so quiet, it turns out everyone is gathered here.

"Zhu Zi, it's great that you're here. Come and help us see how to turn on the TV. It's such a precious thing, we're afraid of breaking it..." An old man hurried forward when he saw him come in.

"Okay, let me take a look..."

He Yuzhu nodded in response, put Nian Qiu down, and walked towards the TV.

The deaf old lady and the uncle's family are all quite old.

I have long wanted to buy them a TV to pass the time.

At that time, televisions were already common in foreign countries, especially in places like America and Japan, and even in Hong Kong.

However, this thing is still very rare in the country, and many people have never seen the real thing.

And in most cases, even if there are any, the screens are very small, even smaller than the size of today's tablets.

This time I went to Japan and planned to buy the most advanced equipment.

But he worries that this will make people worship foreign goods even more.

The main reason is to consider the feelings of the deaf old lady, because during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many of her relatives sacrificed their lives to fight against the invaders.

Seeing electrical appliances produced in Japan would definitely make her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, He Yuzhu specifically chose Hong Kong Island to buy the latest model of large-screen TV.

When I went to the steel plant for a meeting in the morning, I asked Liu Lan to send someone to send the treasure back home.

I thought an old man could handle this problem easily.

As a result, people were worried about damaging the TV so they just opened the package and did nothing further.

Even so, the mere sight of this strange thing appearing in the yard had attracted a large number of neighbors to come and watch.

Nowadays, besides electric lights, the only electrical appliance in every household is the flashlight.

If you want to install a TV, you first have to get a socket.

He Yuzhu had already thought about it, and the electrical wires and the TV were delivered together.

An old man had already installed the socket and placed the TV on the big table.

The rest is much easier, plug in the power, press the switch,

Everyone gathered around to watch, and they were watching very attentively.

When the TV was turned on, there was a snowflake on the screen accompanied by a rustling sound, which caused a burst of exclamations.

"So this is TV. They say there are real people. Where are the people?"

"Who knows? This thing is really rare!"

"Yes, someone in our factory bought one and everyone rushed to see it. I also went to take a look. It's too small. Even if four of them were stacked together, they wouldn't be half the size of this one."

People around started talking.

He Yuzhu adjusted the TV antenna and started looking for a channel.

There was snow on the screen for a while, then no snow, and soon the picture appeared.

There are not many TV stations in China now.

The capital city can receive not much.

Currently the first channel.

The program being broadcast is about agricultural science.

It's called a program, but in fact it's just some photos of crops, displayed like a slide show, with a man with a deep voice explaining the characteristics of these crops.

Whether in terms of picture quality, content or color, it cannot compare with later televisions.

However, as soon as the show came on, the room immediately became quiet and everyone stared at the screen intently.

The old man arranged the position of the TV very well.

It was against the wall, facing the deaf old lady's bed.

The old lady sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the folded quilt, smiling happily.

There is enough space between the TV and the bed.

If other people stand and watch, they will block the old lady. If everyone moves a small stool to sit, it will not block her view, and the position is just right.

So, the old man said a few words and everyone immediately ran home to get small stools.
