"Click." With a soft sound, Li Yun's mother turned the knob of the switch after removing the dust cloth on the TV.

"Swish!" A snowflake immediately appeared on the TV screen.

After turning two tables in a row, it was still a piece of snow.

"Is there a stage?" The short woman asked when she saw this.

"Why are these snowflakes..." The tall woman also said softly.

Li Yun's mother's face was slightly ugly, and she turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Xiaoyun, come here."

"Wait." Li Yun replied, and then walked in with a tray of washed apples.

"Hurry up and adjust the antenna for my mother." Li Yun's mother said to her daughter.

"Mom, the antenna hasn't been connected yet." Li Yun walked over to her mother, reached out to connect the feeder connector behind the TV, and said, "Brother Duan said yesterday that the antenna can't be connected all the time, in case of heavy rain. When there is lightning and when it is not in use, the connector must be disconnected, otherwise there is a danger of being struck by lightning and connected to electricity..."

"Mom's memory is poor..." Li Yun's mother smiled slightly.

"Okay, Mom, try changing the channel again." After connecting the antenna, Li Yun patted the dirt on her little hand and said.

"Click!"

With the soft sound of the knob turning again, a picture in the center appeared on the TV.

At this time, the international news is about to end. The broadcast is the battle of the Falkland Islands in Argentina. The Argentine garrison in the Malvinas Islands surrendered to the British army, and the narrator is introducing what happened.

"Okay, the picture is pretty clear."

"It's pretty good, about the same as the chief engineer's."

Li Yun's mother's two colleagues nodded and said.

Although the words were polite, the two middle-aged women were actually somewhat disapproving.

Although there are not many people with TVs in the factory area, outdoor antennas are not too rare. Daxing is close to BJ, and several households have bought finished products and installed them.

However, because Daxing is located in a basin and surrounded by mountains on three sides, due to the transmission principle of TV signals, even if an antenna is installed, it can only improve the clarity of some TV signals.

Among them, the TV antenna of the chief engineer is the best. It was bought from Guangzhou. It is said that it was imported from Hong Kong. It is regarded as the best outdoor TV antenna in China. One and two Shanxi TV stations, but the picture is much clearer than if the antenna is not connected.

Li Yun's mother said that her antenna can receive several channels, and the resolution is very high. In the eyes of these two female colleagues, it is obviously overblown.

But the pictures that appeared on the TV next made them stunned.

"Click!"

Li Yun turned the knob again, and the screen of the movie "Mine Wars" appeared on the screen.

"What station is this?" The sharp-eyed short woman immediately asked Li Yun's mother after seeing the familiar CCTV and Shanxi station logos in the upper left corner of the screen.

"This is Henan TV." Li Yun's mother flashed a smug look on her face, and then said: "Henan TV starts to show movies every day after the broadcast of the Central News. In fact, they are all old movies. "Children of Heroes" is nothing to watch..."

"I just like watching these old movies." The tall woman stared at the screen and said, "I never get tired of watching such old movies."

"Actually, a lot of TV stations have started broadcasting foreign dubbed productions recently. That's really exciting." Li Yun's mother said with a smile, turning her head to wink at her daughter.

"Click!"

After the soft sound, the TV opening theme song "Burning!" of Hebei TV "Volleyball Girl" appeared on the TV screen.The title of "Smash", starring Yumiko Araki has a sweet smile.

"This is... Episode No. 15 of "Volleyball Girls"!?" The short woman suddenly became emotional, and she continued: "Shanxi TV only broadcast thirteen episodes yesterday, and only one episode a day. Here Why did you start playing episode No.15?"

"It may be that Hebei TV gave foreigners more money, so they could broadcast one more episode." Li Yun's mother said.

"This TV station is too hateful. It broadcasts one episode every day, which makes people anxious like a cat's paw!" The short woman said with a bit of resentment in her tone, and then said: "If only it could be broadcast all in one day. now..."

"Just dream! It's possible that your TV station will open at your house!" The tall woman added with a smile.

"Click!" Li Yun changed several stations one after another.

Generally speaking, in addition to the news broadcast, many provincial stations do not have other programs every day. Generally, only three or four days a week will they have their own programs. Today is a coincidence. Some movies, TV shows, and variety shows such as cross talk and acrobatics were broadcast, which seemed to be very rich in content.

After changing several channels in a row to have programs, the expressions of the two women who visited the door suddenly became excited and surprised.

"Your TV can receive a lot of channels."

"The picture is too clear..."

The two couldn't help but praise.

At this moment, Li Yun's mother's two colleagues were completely convinced, but they both began to have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts.

In fact, the two families just bought TV sets, but they could only receive two sets.

But the programs that can be watched for the same amount of money are so different, which is unacceptable for the two of them.

What's more, women like them have a heart to compare with each other. When they are idle at work all day, they compare what they eat and drink at home, what new appliances they buy, etc. All in all, the more money a man makes, the better his children's grades will be. Well, the better the food and electrical appliances at home, the more they feel that their faces are brighter, and this kind of thing will be the same in future generations.

In fact, the family economic conditions of these three women are actually similar. The men are all skilled people in the factory, but Li Yun's TV can receive a few more channels. If this matter spreads, it will appear more or less that the two The impression of Li Yun's family is not as rich, and the sense of superiority of the two people's 'well-off family' will be weakened a lot by a TV...

"It's alright." The smile on Li Yun's mother's face became even stronger, and she only sighed and said, "Actually, it's not good to have too many channels. Before, I could watch the Central Channel at my house, but now I can Well, my family likes to watch cross talk, I want to watch TV series, and my daughter has to watch cartoons! Every day I fight to watch TV, my head is big, and sometimes I really want to throw this antenna away..."

"Don't, if you want to throw it away, you might as well give it to me." The short woman answered quickly.

"You're dreaming!" The tall woman rolled her eyes at her companion, and then asked Li Yun's mother, "Sister, where did you buy a TV antenna like yours? How much did it cost?"
