Chapter 810

~11 min read 2,146 words

A house full of people were watching TV there, and only the couple were busy with dinner there.

It wasn't until dinner that Ye Yaodong turned off the TV.

"Watched for several hours, the TV is too hot. Rest for a while, lest the circuit burns out."

Everyone was still wanting more.

Ye Chenghu was a bit reluctant, feeling that they hadn't watched for long. "Will it burn out? Can't we watch while eating?"

"No. You guys haven't done your homework since you came back, and you plunged into the TV. You can only watch TV after you finish dinner and do your homework."

With this TV bought back, his son probably wouldn't be able to score 100 points even more; it was even harder.

"Ahai, you guys go home to eat too. After eating, take a bath and do your homework. The TV won't be turned on from now on, let it cool down."

"Then when will it be turned on again?"

"Yeah, when can we watch it again?"

One by one, they were all very reluctant.

"Turn it on again at 7 o'clock tonight for the news broadcast. There are still two hours, almost enough for you to eat, take a bath, and do your homework. Eh... your parents are back, I heard the neighbor's voice, you guys hurry home."

He heard the neighbor shouting the names of several children, and then it was where the hell did you go...

"Alright, then we'll come over again when it's almost 7 o'clock."

A group of children were all a bit reluctant to leave, looking back at the TV every three steps.

Ye Mu also went to touch the TV; it was indeed hot. She couldn't help but sigh, "This TV is really good-looking. From now on, we'll have a TV at home, it's so convenient."

The old lady was also wanting more. "I didn't expect that in this lifetime, even though I have half a foot in the grave, I can still watch TV. Now there are more and more good things, there are radios, and there are TVs, and there are sounds and people inside. It's too advanced, and I don't know how people are put inside, it's too amazing."

"Hehe, watch it again after dinner, eat first now." Lin Xiuqing said with a smile.

Ye Yaodong also said, "The days ahead are still long. As long as you want to watch, you can turn on the TV every day. If you feel the TV programs are too monotonous, you can also turn on the radio, listen to the radio with your ears, and watch the TV with your eyes, division of labor."

The old lady was laughing until she was leaning back and forth, her mouth couldn't close.

"How can I be so busy, and eyes and ears division of labor, how can this be separated, hehehe, you just know how to find fun for me?"

"No, what I said is the truth, turn them on at the same time, listen to books or operas with your ears. Your eyes can still watch the news broadcast, watch the people inside, their mouths are opening and closing, aren't you just feeling novel?"

"That can't be done either, what a waste, the TV also needs electricity, we have to turn it off after watching for a while, let it rest. Otherwise, what if it really burns out? I was fascinated all at once this afternoon, forgot, kept it on and watched, fortunately it didn't burn out."

"Oh, I was just coaxing those children just now, how could it be so easy to burn out? At most, the signal is bad, suddenly no picture, slap it twice and it'll be fine."

As soon as Ye Fu heard him say slap it twice, he immediately strongly opposed, "How can you slap it like that randomly? If the signal is bad, go outside and move the bamboo pole, find a position with a good signal and it'll be fine."

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to argue with his father. New things just bought are always relatively fresh and cherished, not to mention this TV is also a big item.

"Eat first, eat first, don't just talk." Ye Mu had already filled the table with bowls and chopsticks.

"Oh? Why is there grouper at night?"

Ye Fu looked at the steamed fish Aqing brought out of the pot and was surprised. They clearly didn't go to sea today, where did the fish come from? And it was a grouper.

In the afternoon, everyone was watching TV, watching it until they were possessed. Clearly, when he told Aqing that he caught a grouper, he said it quite loudly, yet no one knew. Now that they saw the fish on the table, they realized it.

"When I took Xiao Jiu for a stroll on the beach this afternoon, I saw that the tide had just receded, so I wandered around and happened to pick up quite a lot of goods."

"What a waste, this one is quite big, it could have been sold for a few yuan."

"How is it a waste to eat it? It's a waste to pour it out." Ye Yaodong sat down first and put a chopstick of fish into Ye Xiaoxi's bowl for her.

Lin Xiuqing now gave her an independent bowl, chopsticks, and spoon, letting her dig and eat whatever she wanted, although she ate like a chicken scratching, dropping it everywhere.

But this child had good habits, dropping it all over the table, and in the end, she would pick it up one by one and put it in her mouth, never wasting a grain of rice.

When Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were eating, their eyes didn't leave the TV either. Although it was turned off and there was no picture, their hearts were still excited and hard to calm down.

Just when their family was eating happily, the neighbor Ye Erge and Ye Er Sister-in-law heard from the children at home that they had bought a TV. After taking a bath, they couldn't care about eating and immediately came over to take a look.

Ye Er Sister-in-law couldn't put it down and kept stroking the TV screen back and forth. "How much is this TV? It must be very expensive, I heard it costs more than 400 yuan, you guys are really willing... when will you turn it on and take a look..."

"It's a bit hot after watching for an afternoon, rest for a while, watch it again when the news broadcast comes out at 7 o'clock tonight."

"It has to be 7 o'clock, how much did you buy this for?"

"300 yuan, Dongzi has a way."

"Ah? This is too cheap, right?" The couple said in unison.

"Or... forget it..."

Ye Er Sister-in-law was moved, but thinking that their family had just paid 500 yuan because of the big boat, and they would have to pay another 1000 yuan in not long, it would be too heartbreaking to take out 300 yuan to buy a TV.

Ye Erge was also conflicted. "Or should we buy one too? It just happens that our family also divided more than 1000 this fishing season, and we earned more than last year."

The couple looked at each other, very hesitant. After all, it was indeed too cheap. If it were expensive, they definitely wouldn't have any ideas.

Ye Mu directly interrupted their conflict. "Forget it, it's enough to have one here at Dongzi's. You can also come over to watch occasionally when you're free. What are you buying? Keep some money on you, save more, and buy it in two years."

Both of them also felt that what Ye Mu said made sense. The two families lived so close, it was convenient to come over and watch for a while every night.

Ye Yaodong didn't care. Anyway, it was turned on there. It didn't matter if his own family wanted to watch. No one was a loner, as long as it wasn't a bunch of outsiders crowding into his house.

Lin Xiuqing also smiled generously and said, "Yes, come to my house to watch first. When you get rich and have spare money, buy one for your own house to watch."

While they were talking, Ye Chenghai also brought his father and mother over to show off. That look of honor, it was as if Third Uncle was his real father.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't lie to you, the TV is right here. Look at how amazing my Third Uncle is, he bought a TV back. When can our family buy a TV?"

"Wait until you earn more money for me, then our family can buy one." Ye Eldest Sister-in-law glared at him.

Ye Chenghai pouted and looked at his father expectantly.

Ye Yaopeng also smiled and said, "Wait until I earn more money, wait until our family has money, then we'll buy one."

Ye Fu changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten? How was the harvest today?"

"Average, only sold for more than 30 yuan."

"There don't seem to be many goods recently, we also only sold for more than 30 yuan."

Ye Fu nodded. "That's just right, Mazu's parade starts tomorrow, it's not a pity to stop for a few days."

"Yes, that's what we thought too."

"Then you guys go back to eat early, after eating, come over to watch TV later. We also sat there and watched for an afternoon, didn't do anything, after eating, we also have to go home to take a bath before coming over."

"Mm, good."

After they left, the room was suddenly empty and not crowded.

It was fine for their family of 8 to eat in the small main room, but just now 10 people big and small came in, it was really a bit oppressive, and the air was a bit bad.

Ye Yaodong thought that after dinner later, he still had to move it to the courtyard to watch, otherwise, a house full of people would be too crowded.

He still couldn't escape the fate of a bunch of people coming to his house to watch TV. However, fortunately, they were all his own family, and it was just in the courtyard.

Ye Chenghu was looking forward to the news broadcast at night. As soon as he finished dinner, he actively went back to the room to do his homework.

Except for the first few days when he heard that he could go to the city if he scored two 100s, he was active for those few days. Later, he was the same as usual. It was rare for him to be active again today.

Ye Yaodong looked at it and felt that this might also be a good side. As long as he wasn't just scribbling and perfunctory there, maybe he could look forward to it?

As soon as Ye Chengyang finished dinner, he immediately took a bath. After taking a bath, he didn't want to go anywhere and just squatted in front of the TV waiting.

The other children next door were the same. After finishing dinner, taking a bath, and doing their homework, they ran over to squat and wait for the first time.

This is the infinite charm of the TV.

However, when it was almost time at night, when he moved the TV out to the courtyard, there was already a pile of stools in the courtyard. After all, there were 18 people in his family, plus a group of dogs, which occupied more than half of the courtyard.

There were also quite a few neighbors standing outside the courtyard watching the fun. Sigh, he couldn't let people stand outside and not greet them. Ye Mu was particularly enthusiastic. If there was a place to stand, she would greet them to come in and watch.

Ye Yaodong just silently closed the door of his house. Anyway, the power cord was also pulled out from the window. If they wanted to come in and watch, then stay in the courtyard and watch. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, they were neighbors anyway.

Although he thought at first that it would be fine for his own family to watch, he didn't buy it to serve the public, why move it out for everyone to watch? But imagination is beautiful, no matter how loud the slogans are, it's useless. When it really came to the point, he couldn't be unfeeling and have no human touch at all.

Rural places are originally the most particular about human touch.

He could only pull his bottom line back again and again in his heart. Later, even A Guang and his few friends came over to watch the fun.

The news broadcast also started broadcasting on time at 7 o'clock.
