Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 588 A promising Spring Festival
"Boom~Boom~"

The Yellow River truck roared as it drove on the loess road to the countryside. The cold winter wind swept through the back truck. A thick layer of straw was spread on the truck floor, and six large cartons were placed separately on it to avoid collision.

There were two other people guarding him all the way. Their hair was blown up, but they still sat on the straw with happy faces.

Looking at the entire Wanghai County, it seems that there has never been a family with such a lavish and luxurious item in their home before.

"Xiao Wang, why do you want to put these three together on a whim? Isn't it too high-profile?"

Li Jianxun reached into his pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette and smoke it. After glancing at the dry straw under him, he took his hand back.

Wang Shanhe explained: "Originally I just wanted to buy a color TV. Brother Jianxun, haven't you heard that the Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast this year?"

"I know this!" Li Jianxun's eyes were bright.

Who is there working in government agencies who hasn’t heard of this?It has been advertised in newspapers and everyone is looking forward to it.It is said that the TV sets in the county department store are almost sold out, and a TV ticket is sold at a sky-high price.

However, the color TVs in overseas Chinese stores are naturally different. They are real and expensive, and they require coupons but no money, which is not something ordinary people can care about.

Xiao Wang continued: "Jiankun watched his aunt wash clothes a few days ago, and his hands were shaking from the cold. The washing machine must not have run away. Then he thought about how he needed a refrigerator since he had already placed two major items. He decided to do it in one step. "

He paused and said: "Brother Jianxun, don't worry. Jiankun is very wild. Even if he is found guilty, his huge wealth will be revealed."

Li Jianxun glanced at him and asked: "Where is your house, 'the jar is broken'?"

Xiao Wang grinned, "That's a good word to use. Last year, Lao Wang showed off his wealth in order to pick up my wife. Who still doesn't know that he has a lump on his hand? Lao Wang said he didn't spend any money and was worried about thieves.

"Whatever, my family doesn't have cadres anyway, and the factory's accounts are definitely not afraid of being checked. He has the title of farmer entrepreneur, so why can't he make some money?"

After hearing this, Li Jianxun looked resentful and suddenly became a little envious.

Thinking that Lao Wang is still at ease.Also managing a stall, he couldn't be careless.The family actually has a lot of money, Jiankun gave it, Yunshang gave it, a second uncle, and an aunt, they all have nothing to say, they want to create the best living environment for Xiaopingan.

But as a father, he has money but dare not use it.

For example, if his family had a set of these three items, he would probably have someone come to check the water meter within a few days.

When the two of them were talking to each other like they were quarreling, there was a different atmosphere in the front of the big truck on the Yellow River.

The passenger seat was empty. Li Jiankun, Fu Qiao'e and Li Yunmeng were all sitting in the back seat. Xiao Ping'an was being held in his arms and teased by his second uncle. The little guy could already toddle and could speak some simple words.

But the word "second uncle" is really difficult.

It just so happened that a certain second uncle was not a good person, so he tempted me with a butter sandwich bread that I had never seen before and looked very delicious.Little Ping An's little mouth kept opening and closing, but he always made the wrong sound, and he cried in anxiety.

"Stop, stop, stop, don't cry, don't cry, just give it to me." The incompetent second uncle immediately scared a lot of people.

Xiaopingan got the butter sandwich bread, held it in his two little hands, sat in the arms of his second uncle, and ate it like a hungry wolf, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Just pamper Jiankun and bring this all the way back from the capital." Fu Qiao'e scolded with a smile.

This kind of butter sandwich bread comes without packaging. You can't buy it in places like supply and marketing cooperatives. I've never seen it before.

For this bite, Li Jiankun really put in some effort. He went to the "Sambolo Bakery" next to Xinqiao Western Restaurant to buy it. Facing the knife wind in the capital, he queued for nearly half an hour.

As one of the first pioneers of "open bakeries of your choice" in the capital, and also the first bakery with a front store and a factory in the back, business is booming.

But looking at Xiaoping's satisfied expression and recalling the smiling faces of his sister and mother who had already tasted it, it was all worth it.

"Xiaopingan, come here, call sister-in-law, I'll give you this." Li Yunmeng followed suit and pulled out of her jacket one of the New Year's gifts her sister had brought her, a digital watch hanging around her neck.

The round cartoon style looks like a panda head at first glance.

Xiaopingan's little mouth kept emptying, and her big black eyes followed her raised little hand, and then she noticed such a novelty.

"Sweep...sister-in-law!"

Very clear.

Li Yunmeng: "..."

Li Jiankun laughed so hard that he made people fall on their backs. He made you squeal, but stop squealing.Li Yunmeng held the electronic watch in his hand and was obviously reluctant to take it off.Xiaopingan looked forward to it.

Fu Qiao'e smoothed things over at the right time, "Okay, okay, my sister-in-law is teasing you."

Xiaopingan: "Woooooo~"

There were cheers and laughter in the front compartment, and the two "thunderstorms" in Xiaopingan came and went quickly.After returning to Shitouji, I couldn't hide the huge corrugated box in the truck compartment even if I wanted to.

Half the town was alarmed.

Whether it's a color TV, a washing machine, or a refrigerator, these are extremely rare things in big cities these days, let alone a small town in the mountains like theirs?

Many people have only heard that there is such a thing in the world, but they have never seen it. How can they not join in the excitement?

Li Jiankun didn't care what Lao Wang's family did. After his family's tricks were removed, he immediately ordered the driver to hit the accelerator and drive away.The people in this town are real Gildos.

The dirt road into the mountains and fields of Qingxidian could not be used by large vehicles at first. Thanks to the growing prosperity of the brick and tile factory, an old man from Guiyi mobilized the members to widen the road last year.The Yellow River truck drove all the way to the dirt flat outside the brick and tile factory. Just a quarter of an hour later, the entire Qingxidian was boiling.

The members voluntarily helped, pushed the cart, and delivered the three large items to Lao Li's house steadily.

Li Dazhuang, wearing a black fur coat brought back from Italy and holding Genxihu brand cigarettes in his mouth, walked to the curb to watch the excitement.

"What do I think it is? It's just color TVs, washing machines and refrigerators. A bunch of country bumpkins have never seen the world. These are all in ruins abroad."

There were a lot of people around, and some people responded one after another, trying to curry favor with this de facto first private factory director in Qingxidian.

Some people didn't expect anything from him, and said in a strange tone: "I don't even think you have the stuff from the street."

"Wangfu, what do you mean? I can't even afford these guys?"

"Okay, Da Zhuang, you really think we don't understand anything. You made some money, but the overseas Chinese store won't accept it."

Li Dazhuang said angrily: "My family is not short of foreign exchange, but my son is abroad! I just don't like to show off like some people."

"Hehe~"

"What are you talking about? Speak clearly!"

Li Jiankun naturally didn't know about the disputes here. It was difficult for him to go out now. Lao Li's house was crowded with members who were joining in the fun.

This kind of person has no self, finally making Li Guifei feel that he is a person again.He is a face-loving person, and he is really not stingy if anyone wants to give him face. He carries the good cigarettes and non-staple food that his eldest daughter and his younger son brought back from the capital in packages.

Little Ping An was undoubtedly the favorite of the group. This aunt rushed to hug him, and that aunt hugged him and hugged him. The little guy seemed a little tired and sighed magically.

"Hahahahaha!"

It made everyone burst into laughter.

Li Jiankun and his eldest brother were busy unpacking corrugated boxes, and the members of the commune came over to see what was going on, always trying to impress them.

"Good boy! Is this the ice lump?"

"Ignorant, this is called a refrigerator!"

"I heard that you can make ice in the summer, and things won't go bad if you put them in there!"

"If this were iced watermelon and two bottles of beer in summer...it would be so cool!"

A sky-blue snowflake refrigerator was "peeled" out first, and the members came closer and carefully touched it with their hands, clicking their tongues.

"Can this thing wash its own clothes?"

"Is that so? I heard that if you throw dirty clothes in, they will become clean after they are finished spinning."

"Hey! That's too easy."

"Especially in winter, it's not a big deal."

The Sanxia brand washing machine that was then "peeled" out made every aunt and daughter-in-law present gorge themselves on it.

"What a guy! What a big screen!"

"Look at the workmanship, it's made of mahogany."

"Can you really bring out colorful people?"

"Jiankun, can you let me go?"

The one that attracts the most interest is the 21-inch Hitachi color TV.Knowing that this thing is too valuable, not many people even dare to touch it.

"I don't think it can be released now. It is equipped with a fishbone antenna. It will be ready to use after it is set up."

Li Jiankun looked around and extended an invitation with a smile, "There will be a Spring Festival Gala this year. If you want to see it, you can come to my house to watch it together."

"Oh, that's great!"

"This is such a good thing, we must come!"

"I heard someone say that I have been thinking about it, but I was worried about not having a TV. This is great!"

The members were all excited.

This is another driving factor for Li Jiankun to buy a color TV before the Spring Festival.

Although many people in the brigade made money this year, they still didn't buy a few TV sets.The first Spring Festival Gala, whether in a historical sense or in terms of the reality of the lack of entertainment these days, is happening now and it would be a pity to miss it.

There was joy inside and outside the house.

The celebration of the Spring Festival in Qingxidian in 1983 officially reached its climax after Lao Li’s family purchased three major pieces of Huihao Heng.
