Chapter 916 Black and White TV
There are people coming and going at the entrance of the county people's hospital. Countless people come here every day, and many people experience life and death here every day.
Looking at those who were in and out, Li Shaoguo felt a lot of emotion. After experiencing this nearly three-month hospitalization period, he saw so many families tortured by the disease, which gave this man a new experience of his illness.
Although Li Shaoguo's body can meet the discharge standard this time, only he himself knows the physical condition. Although it is cured on the surface, this is a chronic disease and cannot be cured. It will be unrelated to this disease in this life. Only by treating it more carefully in the future can we avoid sudden fall like this time.
"Let's go, the discharge procedures are completed." Tan Hongxia came from the payment office and held the payment order in her hand.
"I spent a lot of money." Li Shaoguo felt distressed for a while. He knew that the expenses in the hospital were like water. The expenses in these three months were definitely not a decimal.
"Not much, thanks to Shaoan." Speaking of his brother-in-law, a smile appeared on Tan Hongxia's face. "This time it was really thanks to Shaoan. If it weren't for him, I really didn't know what to do."
Li Shaoguo sighed: "Yes, thanks to my brother, this time I can cure the disease, all it depends on his help. We will definitely repay this love in the future."
Tan Hongxia smiled and said that she didn't continue to say anything to Li Shaoguo. She could pay back the money, so how could she repay the love?
After leaving the hospital gate, Tan Hongxia recruited a car to swim slowly and took it on with Li Shaoguo.
After about ten minutes, I slowly took the two of them to an address in the east of the city.
"This is the house you are talking about?"
Getting out of the car, Li Shaoguo looked up at the small house with a separate courtyard in front of him, and couldn't help but feel happy and surprised.
These days he has been living in the hospital, while Tan Hongxia has moved into a new house. Every day he will imagine what the new house looks like in his mind, and Tan Hongxia will tell him.
After thinking about it thousands of times, I really felt that it was a good location, and the size of the house was unexpected. Compared with the old wooden houses in Tieshan Bay, this brick house is still much higher.
"Stop sticking, hurry up and go in."
Tan Hongxia was very happy. First, Li Shaoguo was finally discharged from the hospital, and second, the couple could finally move to the new house in the county town.
When he walked into the yard, he saw that the yard was clean and simple, and everything was cleaned in an orderly manner. Before Li Shaoguo could sigh, he was pulled into the house by Tan Hongxia.
"It's really good here, the wall has been painted with white dust."
"It was all done by Shaoan, who asked someone else to do it. It was a bit leaking when it rained before. It was only a few days ago that the bricklayer picked up the tiles on the roof." Speaking of this, Tan Hongxia looked proud, "Now the house is well made. It usually takes a lot of money to burn honeycomb coal, so she saves the effort of picking up and chopping firewood every day."
Li Shaoguo nodded repeatedly, tears rolling in his eyes. With such a sensible and good brother, how could he be unhappy as the eldest brother?
This time I must learn from the previous lessons and never show off my ability to do heavy work again. I will take care of myself every day to avoid causing trouble for Li Shaoan in the future.
After looking around the room, he didn't see Li Shaoan's figure. Li Shaoguo couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Shaoan? Didn't he say he would come today too?"
"When I was discharged from the hospital, he took me on a motorcycle. At that time, he said there was something to do and asked me to pick you up first." Tan Hongxia said.
"Okay, my brother is doing a lot now, let him do it." Li Shaoguo nodded.
Beep, beep!
The couple spoke in vain and heard the sound of horns coming from outside the yard.
"Is Shaoan back?" Li Shaoguo was anxious and rushed out of the house.
Tan Hongxia also came out, and indeed saw Li Shaoan riding a motorcycle to the front yard. There was a man behind Li Shaoan riding a tricycle for delivery, with a large cardboard box placed in the truck.
"Brother, welcome home!"
When Li Shaoguo saw Li Shaoguo changing back to casual clothes, Li Shaoan felt very happy.
In the past few months, I have been watching my elder brother wearing hospital uniforms. Being able to see him wear casual clothes back, at least it means that his health is no longer in serious condition now.
"Shao'an, my brother's good brother."
Li Shaoguo is an introvert and is not good at expressing his heart.
Now that I saw Li Shaoan again, the brotherly relationship between the two brothers emerged. Li Shaoguo didn't know how to express it, so he hugged Li Shaoan tightly and hugged them together.
Tan Hongxia silently looked at the scene of the brothers' deep affection, and couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.
"You two are here, I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you."
Afraid that tears would flow out when they stayed here again, Tan Hongxia quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and wanted to retreat into the house.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, don't rush to cook."
"Ah, don't cook?"
"Don't worry, let's see what I got back first." Li Shaoan pointed to the cardboard box on the tricycle behind him with a smile.
Tan Hongxia said in surprise: "What is this?"
Li Shaoan didn't say anything, but just said to the man who was pedaling the bike: "Master, please carry the things in and install them for me."
“Good.”
The man parked the tricycle steadily, pulled the handbrake up, and then walked into the house with a cardboard box.
Li Shaoguo was also curious and asked, "Young brother, what is in this box?"
Li Shaoan kept it a secret and smiled and said, "I'll know in a while."
Li Shaoguo and Tan Hongxia were both itchy in their hearts. They wanted to know what Li Shaoan got back, but Li Shaoan refused to say that, and even pulled the two of them to prevent them from entering.
Until the delivery man came out, Li Shaoan asked, "Are you okay?", the man nodded and replied, "Okay". Only then did Li Shaoan take Li Shaoguo and Tan Hongxia to the house together.
"Hey, this thing..."
Tan Hongxia's eyes were wide open, and she saw a TV on the table.
Before she came to the county town, she never knew about the TV. At that time, there were not many TVs in the entire Yangqiao Town, let alone anyone could afford Tieshan Bay, so it was not surprising that she had never seen it.
After arriving at the county town, sometimes I passed by the street and saw some of the shops on the side of the road with TVs. The shop owner was lying on a rattan chair and watching the TV leisurely. I don’t know how enviable the scene was.
"It's a TV!"
Li Shaoguo had left the village before. When Li Shaoan was in college, he took Li Shaoan to the provincial railway station, so he had seen this thing.
But he didn't expect that one day his younger brother would get such a big treasure back.
The couple went to the TV to look left and right, up and down, and watched it back and forth and back again, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the smooth glass screen.
"How much does it cost?"
What Li Shaoguo is most concerned about is money. Li Shaoan spent a lot of money these days, and now he has bought a TV. I am really worried that he can't turn over the money he has on hand.
"Not many, more than a thousand points." Li Shaoan said.
"More than a thousand!"
Although Li Shaoguo had known that TVs were expensive, he still felt a pain when he heard that Li Shaoan spent more than 1,000 to buy such a TV.
Li Shaoan smiled and said, "This thing is much cheaper now than before. Now this black and white TV is no longer that valuable. The new color TV is only expensive, and that thing costs thousands of yuan."
When Tan Hongxia heard this price, she was shocked. This color TV costs several thousand yuan, and the house she lives in is only four thousand yuan. It turns out that a color TV is more expensive than a house.
"I can't afford the colored ones for the time being, but there is still no problem with the black and white ones. Let's just look at it." Li Shaoan said with a smile.
"Can this thing really release a figure?" Tan Hongxia felt incredible.
"Why can't I let you go now."
Li Shaoan found the plug of the TV, plugged it into the socket, pressed the power switch, and a white light flashed across the gray glass screen, and then a sizzling white noise came from the TV box.
The TV was lit up, but there was no picture, only a snowflake-like pockmark.
Li Shaoguo couldn't help but worry: "Young brother, can you buy fake and shoddy products?"
Li Shaoan slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me... I forgot the antenna. Wait a little longer, and there will be a picture soon." As he said that, he ran to the yard, took a simple antenna from under the motorcycle seat bag, pulled the antenna long and placed it on the TV, and turned the frequency modulation knob. After a while, a figure appeared on the TV.
"I have it, I have it." Tan Hongxia was the most excited.
"Wait a little longer, I'll adjust it more clearly."
Li Shaoan continued to rotate the frequency modulation knob, and gradually the shaking picture became stable, and a normal picture appeared on the TV.
"Okay, the only thing that is lacking is that you can't see the color." Li Shaoan's tone was a little regretful.
"Enough, it's enough to watch this TV." The joy on Tan Hongxia and Li Shaoguo's faces were simply beyond words. The couple was watching TV at their homes in their lives. Although they haven't understood what TV is doing yet, the freshness really makes people feel so happy.
"If you want to talk about Tieshanwan, we should be the first one to buy a TV, right?" Li Shaoguo was inevitably proud of his youngest brother, which made him look back on his face in the village.
"That's right." Li Shaoan also smiled.
"You two brothers watch TV, I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Tan Hongxia said this, but her eyes were always on the TV screen. She had such a novel thing at home and could not let anyone down. She was no exception and couldn't help but want to take a look.
Li Shaoan grabbed Tan Hongxia, knew that she wanted to see it too, and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we won't cook at noon today, let's go out to go to the restaurant together!"
Tan Hongxia and Li Shaoguo said together: "Don't leave when you go to the restaurant. You just bought a TV and spent a lot of money. You can save some money if you can."
