The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 91 Radio Gymnastics! !
  People from three floors inside and three floors outside the entire courtyard surrounded the Zhang Chenfei brothers, watching their operations with bated breath.

Grandma Zhang and Tang Danniu were so nervous that they felt like they were suffocating.

After all, what he is holding in his hand is the component that his younger brother bought at a high price. Zhang Chenliang held the welding gun and felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy. He was more nervous than rubbing high-end parts by hand in the factory.

After all, if it gets damaged, you can report it as a loss. This is my own money! ! !
  Zhang Chenliang carefully welded all the positions to be welded according to his brother's requirements.

Putting down the soldering iron, he looked at his younger brother who was still assembling the core components with a worried look on his face: "What should I do next??"

Zhang Chenfei took over the components that his brother had soldered, and after assembling the core radio, he said, "It's almost done. Let's try to see if we can receive the program first."

Don't assemble the casing yet. If you can't receive the signal, it's easy to change it.

With everyone watching, Zhang Chenfei began to try to connect to the signal.

After the speaker rustled, a clear female voice came out.

"Welcome to the China People's Broadcasting Station's "Capital Newspaper Digest" program.

Today is December 1952, 12 AD, Wednesday, the eighth day of the winter lunar month.

Today’s main contents are:

The ZGRM World Defense Committee issued a statement protesting the mass murder of prisoners of war by MD on Fengyan Island.

ZEL Foreign Minister responded to Pearson's message
  Step up the chronological planning.
  Please listen to the detailed report below. "

hiss! !

Everyone was shocked when they heard the clear voice coming from the radio! !
  "You actually did it this way?? It doesn't look difficult at all."

“Da Fei is so awesome, he can even make a radio!!!”

"How can I save dozens of dollars by doing this?? I went to the store to check it out several times before. The cheapest radio costs more than 130 yuan. I chewed my back molar and was reluctant to buy it. !!!"

"I have an idea."

"I have one too."

"Don't be anxious yet, let Da Fei put the shell on first."

Everyone in the courtyard was chirping again, and everyone's CPU began to run wildly.

Da Fei just said that a set of radio components is only forty-nine, and a new radio is sold in stores for one hundred and thirty.

We are all neighbors, so if we ask him to help, we can save 80 yuan! ! !

Thinking of this, I suddenly became very excited.

Zhang Chenfei ignored these neighbors. After making sure that the radio was working, he began to install the wooden casing.

The current Ore Machine radio casing is very large, more than 40 centimeters long and more than 20 centimeters high.

Its huge appearance and old-fashioned appearance make it look extremely bulky, but the advantage is that it is solid and durable.

Moreover, the ore machine does not use electricity, which can also save subsequent expenses.

It didn't take long for Zhang Chenfei to assemble the entire radio. Turning on the radio again, the previous program has finished playing.

This time it's radio gymnastics.

Since top leaders proposed "developing sports and enhancing people's physical fitness" this summer, People's Radio has launched the "Broadcast Gymnastics" program, which will be broadcast every morning and evening.

Every day, countless people follow this program to exercise.

Listening to the dynamic music at this time, Liu Haizhong felt that the leather belt in his hand was already thirsty.

"Da Fei, let's make a radio for Uncle Liu," he said loudly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers on the side didn't know that the danger was close at hand. When I heard that my father wanted to buy a radio, I held my head high and was so beautiful that I couldn't even see my teeth.

Aunt Liu saw her old man's impulsive consumption and hurriedly stopped him: "Old Liu, don't worry, let's see how many channels this radio can pick up first."

The one in the store may receive several channels, but if Dafa can only receive one channel, even if it is cheaper, it will be a loss for Dafa.

"Yes, Da Fei, try to see if you can receive other channels." Xu Fugui also said.

Obviously, he was also moved.

"Sure." Zhang Chenfei nodded. After twisting the knob, the radio changed another channel and started playing Mr. Mei's classic song "Farewell My Concubine".

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she blew out a smoke ring with satisfaction. The deaf old lady's slightly jealous eyes were cast on her.

Switching to another channel, what was playing was the storytelling serial "New Sons and Daughters of Heroes", but it was a pity that it wasn't the right time to turn it over.

I only heard the last few sentences: "If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time."

This would kill Xu Fugui, who loved listening to storytelling, and kept shouting that he would have to ask Zhang Chenfei to set up a radio for him no matter what.

The one further behind is playing an advertisement for Yili Food Factory.

At this point, Zhang Chenfei has received a total of four ore machines assembled. Not much, but it can meet everyone's daily needs.

Xu Fugui immediately took out fifty yuan and handed it over: "Da Fei, make one for Uncle Xu."

Zhang Chenfei looked at him with a smile but did not take the money.

Xu Damao said angrily to his father: "Dad, how come you are so confused before you are old??
  Brother Da Fei just said that anyone who wants to help assemble will have to pay an assembly fee of ten yuan! ! ! "

"Ah, this is it. I forgot about it in the excitement." Xu Fugui glanced at his son reproachfully, took out another ten dollars from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Chenfei along with the previous money.

Zhang Chenfei took the money, gave him a dollar in change, and smiled: "Uncle Xu, don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. We are neighbors. I will charge you ten dollars. If someone from outside this courtyard comes to see me, I will take the twenty dollars off. him???"

Collecting radios is a technical job. In this era, even the country's development of radio technology is still in the exploratory stage.

Only next summer will our country be able to independently mass-produce ore machines.

The success rate for radio amateurs who assemble it at home is no better than 40 percent.

If ordinary people bought the materials and went back, they would have even a 5% chance of success! !

So Zhang Chenfei felt that the assembly fee of RMB 20 was already very cheap.

Xu Fugui is not short of money. He often runs around and plays movies. He has experienced a lot and knows that Zhang Chenfei is not telling lies.

When I thought about it again, Zhang Chenfei had already paid ten yuan less for the assembly fee, and it immediately became so beautiful.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, he specially emphasized this to everyone.

"I'm not selling radios, I'm assembling them for everyone. You buy the materials, and I charge an assembly fee. As for the forty-nine that Uncle Xu gave me, he didn't want to make the trip himself and entrusted me to buy the materials. money.

If anyone wants to buy the materials themselves, just buy them and ask me to assemble them. "

He reiterated it again and again.

"That's right, Da Fei is right. Da Fei, thank you in advance. If this radio works well, I will often promote it to you in the future." Xu Fugui also said.

After accepting Xu Fugui's money, Zhang Chenfei told him that he was busy recently and the radio would be ready in three days.

Xu Fugui immediately said that there was no problem. After saving so much money, shouldn't it be reasonable to wait for two more days? ?
  With Xu Fugui taking the lead, three more families in the yard also gave money.

After Liu Haizhong and Aunt Liu murmured and discussed for a few minutes, they hesitated and decided to buy a radio too.

Although their family's life is difficult now, who makes Liu Haizhong, the only strong worker in the family, like broadcasting gymnastics? ? ?

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong giving money, he began to struggle in his eyes.

The magic power of a radio in this era is no less than that of a sports car in later generations! !

What Zhang Chenfei did today is like a half-price sale of Porsche on the road.

Yi Zhonghai wants to buy it, and even though his monthly salary is only more than forty.

But there are only two people in the family, they don’t have children, and their savings are still among the best in this yard.

For their family, spending 60 yuan to buy a radio was not a dime in nine years, but it was also effortless.

but! !! !!

Thinking of the three hundred yuan that Zhang Chenfei borrowed without interest for fifty years, and the thought of asking him to make another ten yuan from him, Yi Zhonghai's heart bleeds.

After Zhang Chenfei put all the money in his pocket, he glanced at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile, then looked at Yan Bugui, "Uncle Yan, don't you want one?"

He remembered that at the beginning of the TV series, the Yanbu family clearly had a radio, and it was a transistor.

Of course, the transistor hadn't been invented yet.

But that is enough to prove that Yan Bugui is a person who pays attention to spiritual enjoyment and is willing to spend money on this item.

Yan Bugui waved his hand: "I'd better forget it, the money is a bit hard to come by."

As he said this, he thought in his heart that it was not difficult to watch Zhang Chenfei assemble the components just now.

Instead of spending ten yuan to have him assemble it, you might as well buy the components and try it yourself.

Even if you don’t know how to weld, don’t be afraid. Isn’t there Yizhong Hai? ? His skills are better than Zhang Chenliang! !
  With this thought, he moved closer to Yi Zhonghai and murmured in a low voice.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the two of them immediately concluded the deal.

Jia Zhang also wanted a radio.

She had no money, but she thought that with her relationship with Zhang Chenfei, she could get a discount or credit, right? ?

With this thought, she turned back to Zhang Chenfei's house again after everyone left.

After Zhang Chenfei heard what she meant, he smacked his lips:
  "So what Aunt Zhang means is that I will give you a radio on credit, and you will give me six yuan a month and pay it off in ten months??"

Good guy, is this the inspiration I got from borrowing 300 yuan from Yi Zhonghai last time and dividing it over 50 years? ?
  Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded: "That's right, it would be even better if I could pay off five yuan a month in ten months."

Those people in the courtyard gave ten yuan for assembly fee, and she also gave ten yuan.

Doesn't that make it seem like her relationship with Zhang Chenfei is the same as those people's relationship with him? ?

No! Absolutely not! ! !
  Zhang Chenfei didn't know what Jia Zhang was thinking, but he obviously felt that his relationship with the other party was not good enough to warrant an interest-free loan.

So he rolled his eyes and told Jia Zhang that this method would definitely not work.

But if Jia Zhang saves enough fifty yuan, he can only charge an assembly fee of five yuan.

At the end, he also said:

"I only gave this price for your sake, Aunt Zhang.

Except for you, anyone, even Director Yang! ! Want to get a radio from me for fifty-five? ? Grandma! ! "

Of course Director Yang would not take the radio from him, but as soon as he said these words, he elevated Jia Zhang to a very high position.

Sure enough, when Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately felt ecstasy in her eyes.

just me? ? ? ! ! !

hiss! ! ! I knew that the lunch boxes during these days were not in vain.

As far as our face is concerned, Factory Director Yang can’t compare to us! ! !

happy! !

After clicking her teeth and having a silly laugh, she immediately said that she would go back to raise money immediately.

"Even if I get out Qin Huairu's dowry and Dongxu's private money! I have to buy this radio!!"

Jia Zhang is a smart person, but even at this point, he is not willing to spend the money he saved from making shoes.

After seeing off Jia Zhang, Tang Danniu put the food on the table.

Today’s dinner is cabbage and tofu vermicelli, Erhe noodle steamed buns, and rice porridge.

Although it may seem simple, if you put it in the Zhang family a month ago, it would be similar to the Chinese New Year.

After all, there is tofu here! !
  What is tofu? ? That's protein! !
  As the family ate and listened to the opera on the radio, they felt that the word happiness seemed to have taken shape.

Several children were even more exaggerated, each holding a rice bowl, standing in front of the radio, staring at it, and eating at the same time.

"There's no painting on that thing!!" Zhang Chenfei smiled bitterly.

"You guys are only allowed to look at it and not touch it!! If it gets damaged, I won't be able to kill you!!!" Tang Danniu scolded.

After Zhang Chenliang was half full, he asked his brother when he would start assembling radios for everyone so that he could have free time to specialize in welding.

Zhang Chenfei swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns:

"Don't worry, I have to hold a house-warming party tomorrow. Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. Then, brother, you and I will go to the semiconductor parts store."

As for the five radio accessories, he couldn't carry them all by himself, so he had to find a helper.
