Chapter 222 Hurry home for dinner and watch TV at night(1/2)
The gate of Liu Chen's house is so big that you can drive the tractor directly in.
Stop and take your niece down.
Liu Jiefang and Wang Mudan saw that the tractor was illuminated by a canvas and it was bulging. They saw that it was carrying a lot of things.
"Brother, what gift did you bring for me?"
"You'll find out later. I'm sure you'll like it."
Youdi kept thinking in her mind, what on earth is this? Anyway, every time her brother brought something, she liked it. She thought it was something to eat, but she felt it was not.
When the canvas was untied, a lot of things inside were exposed.
Liu Chen moved the red bicycle down, "Sister, look at this lady's bicycle, do you like it?"
Let alone Youdi, even Liu Jiefang has never seen this lady's bicycle.
Nowadays, most bicycles are in the style of 28-inch large bars. Women's small bicycles may not be sold even in the county, let alone in the county.
Youdi looked at the bicycle, her eyes almost popped out of her head. The bright red color was so festive, and the style, it was much easier to ride than the 28-inch big bar.
"I like it, I like it, I like it very much."
Youdi smiled from ear to ear, touched the handle of the bicycle, circled the bicycle several times, and kept saying: "Brother, this is so beautiful."
Although Liu Jiefang also thinks this bicycle is good-looking, he already has a bicycle at home, so why waste money on it? This brand-new car is not cheap at first glance.
"Oh, my dear, why did you get another one? Isn't this a waste of money? We already have several cars at home."
In this day and age, it's a big deal for most people to own a bicycle. Even Captain Liu's family doesn't have one.
Liu Jiefang's family now has two bicycles, and the most important thing is that he also has a motorcycle. Now there is not one in every town, not even Secretary Zhang's family.
"The fourth sister will be engaged soon. This is the dowry for my sister."
Youdi lowered her head, showing a shy expression, and the blush on her face spread.
We are just engaged now, not married yet, and we have already bought this bicycle. This is too soon.
Liu Jiefang had originally decided to give Youdi his 28-meter bar as a dowry when she got married. Anyway, he was used to not riding a bicycle in his life, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Chen bought another one.
A new one.
"That 28-inch bike is a bit big, and it's not convenient for my fourth sister to ride on it. So I asked my second uncle to get me a ladies' bike, so that it would be more convenient for my fourth sister to ride on it."
Although Liu Jiefang and Wang Mudan were still very distressed, after all, it was a lot of money, but since they had bought it, let’s buy it. After all, their daughters got married at that time and did not have any decent dowries.
Pin, when this youngest daughter gets married, it’s okay to give her a good dowry, so that others can see her, and it will also make her look good.
"Sister, go and have a look."
Youdi pushed the bicycle out, followed by a group of children.
Youdi slid slowly and finally jumped up. This was much easier to ride than the 28-meter bar. The bike was stable and would not fall down.
Youdi can ride the 28th pole pretty well now, and this lady's bicycle is much easier to ride.
Here Liu Chen moved everything off the tractor again.
"Baby, what is this?" Liu Jiefang said while holding the square grid.
"We'll find out later."
Here Wang Mudan and Liu Chen moved all the things down one by one.
Some were placed in the room, while others were placed on the Eight Immortals' table.
Liu Chen took down the TV and pedal generator and put them away.
Liu Jiefang watched Liu Chen fiddle with it for a while. Monk Zhang Er was also confused as to what his son was doing.
Liu Chen first put the generator in place, then pulled out the wires and turned on the light bulb.
This was also tried in the county town, but the voltage stability was not very good. With the addition of a voltage regulator here, the light bulb became much more stable.
Liu Chen went up and started the engine, and the light came on.
"Baby, it's bright, it's bright." Wang Mudan and Liu Jiefang said in unison.
"Wow, what is this? Why does it glow?"
"Mom and Dad, this is an electric light bulb. From now on, as long as you step on this light bulb, the light will turn on. There will be no need for kerosene lamps in the future."
Wang Mudan and Liu Jiefang were shocked. Electric lamps are so good. They actually emit light. This is much brighter than kerosene lamps.
"Daddy, why does this thing shine?" Wang Mudan really couldn't figure out why this little light bulb lit up.
"I don't know, why does this light up?"
Liu Chen told them that he had found this pedal generator. The second uncle knew that there was no electricity in the countryside, so he got this.
Anyway, just push everything to the second uncle. The second uncle is powerful and the second uncle is invincible.
"What is that big square grid?"
"Oh, that's a black and white TV."
Liu Chen said disapprovingly.
"TV? Baby, do you think this is a TV?"
Liu Jiefang stared again. This son was really not the least bit of a surprise to him.
Television, in this day and age, not many families have radios, let alone televisions. That is absolutely impossible. In the entire Liutangzhuang, Liu Chen’s family is the only one who has a radio, let alone a television.
At this time, Liu Jiangang was seen carrying a backpack and a bucket.
"Where are you? Come and weigh me."
When Liu Jiefang and Liu Chen heard that someone was coming, they went to collect the eels first and then get the TV set later.
"What are you doing? Why has no one come out after shouting for a long time?"
"Get ready to go there now," Liu Jiefang said with a smile.
"What is this? Why is it so bright?"
Wang Mudan hurriedly went up to answer, what kind of light bulb was this? It was electric and would emit light, lighting up the whole room. He also mentioned how Liu Chen went up to turn on the generator and prepare to set up a TV.
"Brother Chen, you are awesome. This is much brighter than a kerosene lamp. Hey, what is that?"
Liu Chen told him that it was a TV and invited Liu Jiangang to watch a movie in the evening.
Liu Chen told Liu Jiangang that you can watch anything on this TV, including movies, operas, and songs.
"So magical? Tell me quickly and I will have dinner early in the evening and come over to watch a movie."
Liu Hu came in at this time and laughed when he saw Liu Chen.
"Where did you go? Come on and help weigh you."
After Liu Hu and Liu Chen weighed all the eels, soft-shell turtles and some Chinese herbal medicines brought by Liu Jiangang, they kept the accounts.
After everything was weighed, Liu Jiangang ran home with a bucket and a basket on his back, hoping that his mother would make a meal quickly so that he could have a good meal and watch a movie.
After running for a while, Liu Jiangang came back and ran directly to Liu Chen: "Brother Chen, let me ride your bike while I pick up my partner to watch a movie."
"Ride on, slow down."
Liu Jiangang hung the bucket on the handlebar of his bicycle and ran away on the bicycle.
Just when Liu Chen was about to go in and get on with the TV, he saw Liu Jinlong coming with his wife.
"Achen, you are back, come and weigh me."
Liu Hu helped and weighed the eels, loaches, etc., and Liu Chen kept the accounts.
"Ah Chen, just now Jiang just said he would watch a movie tonight, will Projectionist Zhao come to show another movie tonight?"
"You don't need projectionist Zhao to come. If you want to watch a movie from now on, just come to my house and I will show you movies every day."
"Watch movies every day?" Liu Jinlong's daughter-in-law said with a glare.
What does this mean? Liu Chen means that you can watch movies every day from now on? What's going on?
"Let's go home quickly, cook dinner, and watch a movie early in the evening."
After Liu Jinlong's wife finished speaking, she pulled Liu Jinlong and ran home.
Anyway, no matter what Liu Chen meant, just go home and cook first, and just have a good meal and grab a good seat.
Last time they watched a movie, they came back late to catch eels and cooked and ate late, so they ran to the back of the movie. Today they had to eat early to grab a good seat.
People come here one after another to deliver eels, loaches, and turtles.
Many people asked Liu Chen if the movie they just talked about was true?
Liu Chen explained everything one by one, "It's true. Let's watch a movie tonight."
Liu Jiang just got home here, and his mother happened to have prepared dinner.
"Why are you pushing a bicycle?"
Captain Liu saw that this bicycle belonged to Liu Chen's family. Why did this kid borrow it? This bicycle cost several hundred yuan. If it broke down, he would not be able to pay for it.
