60s: I have a store

Chapter 344 The Impact of the TV Series
Then the old secretary continued his explosive attack: "There is still a lot of pork left from the last hunt. Each household can get 3 kilograms of pork."

Everyone became even happier after hearing this. They didn't expect to get 63 yuan and 3 kilograms of pork. In the past, they would not have dared to think of this.

"With 3 kilograms of pork, I can finally have dumplings for the New Year!" A villager sighed at this time.

Another villager echoed: "Yes! I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time."

The old Party Secretary said at this time: "Wait a minute and your name will be called up to receive it!"

"Zhou Xuqiang!"

Zhou Xuqiang hurried forward to receive the things, first taking 63 yuan, and then taking 3 kilograms of pork.

In this way, everyone was able to receive their things in an orderly manner. Since the money and pork were divided into portions in advance, the distribution was quite fast.

In less than half an hour, all the villagers had received their money and pork.

"The weather is cold now, so let's not talk too much and adjourn the meeting!" As the old branch secretary said.

Everyone started picking up their chairs and preparing to leave.

Zhou Dafu came here deliberately to listen today, just to know what the village distributed during the New Year, because he believed that it would definitely not be as good as what the steel plant distributed. Unexpectedly, the more he listened, the more shocked he was.

It feels better than what the factory gives out. I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. I was so proud of myself yesterday, I guess my face must have turned yellow from laughing.

Chow Tai Fook can be said to have stolen the limelight yesterday. After all, the steel plant distributed a pound of pork, while the instant noodle factory did not distribute meat, but only some side dishes and a bucket of instant noodles per person.

When the villagers saw this, they were all very envious.

It can be said that the desire to work in the factory has increased again.

When Zhou Dafu saw Zhou Yimin, he hurried forward and said, "Is Uncle Sixteen back? Bring the TV back too. Wait a minute, can I go to your house to watch TV?"

I knew before that Zhou Yimin bought a TV, but I never had the chance to see it. It’s a rare opportunity now.

"If you can grab a spot, I don't care." Zhou Yimin said directly.

He didn't even have to think about it. As long as there was a TV installed at home, there would definitely be people who wanted to watch it. There were so many people in the village, but the space at home was limited and could not accommodate so many people.

Zhou Yimin rushed home with the things.

The old man had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yimin, he hurried forward and said, "Yimin, you're finally back!"

In the past two days, whenever the old man was free, he would stand outside the door to see if Zhou Yimin would come back. Today, he finally waited for him.

"Grandpa, it's cold, let's go inside!" Zhou Yimin saw that the old man was not wearing much clothes and was worried that he would be cold.

The old man half-jokingly said: "It's okay, grandpa is still in good health."

Then help move in the things Zhou Yimin brought back.

First, Zhou Yimin moved the TV in, then assembled it and started debugging.

Today's televisions need to be connected to antennas to receive signals. Early television signal transmission mainly relied on radio waves. Television stations used directional or omnidirectional antennas to transmit wireless television signals through transmission towers, and users needed to use receiving antennas to receive these signals.

The reception effect of a user's TV is related to the signal reception location, antenna type and direction. It is usually necessary to place the TV in a place with good signal and adjust the direction of the antenna to obtain the best signal.

Today's TV series usually use telescopic antennas or simple receiving antennas. It was only in the era of color TV that fishbone antennas began to be used. Users need to go to the top floor to install and adjust the direction of the antenna to get the signal.

The old man was a little impatient: "Yimin, can we watch TV now?"

They had only heard of such high-end stuff but had never seen it with their own eyes. They never thought that one day they would be able to watch it on TV.

Soon as Zhou Yimin started to adjust the mode, characters appeared on the TV.

After seeing this scene, the old man was very excited: "There is a picture."

When Zhou Yimin's grandmother heard the old man's exclamation, she hurried out, but when she saw the picture on the TV, she was unable to walk.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Yimin felt that bringing back the television was a very correct choice. Televisions nowadays are not as advanced as those in later generations, where there are all kinds of TV dramas. There are not many programs on television nowadays.

The news soon spread in Zhoujiazhuang that Zhou Yimin had brought back a TV series. After hearing about it, the men, women, and children in the village all went to Zhou Yimin's home.

Chow Tai Fook was the first to react and came to Zhou Yimin's house early. He did not come empty-handed, but brought a pound of pork distributed by the steel plant.

The village had already distributed 3 kilograms of pork, and Zhou Yimin had helped so much, it would have been impolite not to express his gratitude, so Zhou Dafu's parents finally asked Zhou Dafu to take the things with him.

This pound of pork can be said to be a very valuable gift. Many other villagers went empty-handed, and only a small number of people brought some peanuts, melon seeds and the like.

Zhou Dafu went in with the pork: "Uncle Sixteen, I'm here to watch some TV."

After saying that, he handed the meat to Zhou Yimin.

"Come if you want, but don't bring anything with you. I don't want it next time," Zhou Yimin said.

After saying that, he took the meat and took it into the kitchen. He thought that many people would come over to watch TV soon, so it would not be appropriate to leave it here.

With the arrival of Chow Tai Fook, more and more people came from the village, and soon Zhou Yimin's house was full.

Zhou Yimin felt that the people sitting in the back probably couldn't see anything! But it was just for the sake of novelty, so he didn't say much.

It was obvious that there was not enough room for the people who came later, so they had to squeeze outside the house and could still see a little bit by the window.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Yimin's house was packed with people.

Zhou Yimin had no choice but to turn up the volume of the TV series to the maximum so that people outside could hear the sound even if they couldn't see it.

After a while, I saw the beloved President Zhou appear on TV. There must be an interview.

The villagers were also very excited to see Mr. Zhou. If space had not allowed, they would have wanted to jump up. Although they had not seen it in person, they were lucky enough to see it on TV.

You know, televisions are very precious. More than 99.9% of the people in the country have never seen a TV series, so you can imagine how precious they are.

Time passed quickly and it was noon in a flash. Everyone seemed reluctant to leave.

The old man had no choice but to send everyone back to eat. If they wanted to watch TV, they could come over after dinner!

Zhou Yimin was also helpless. He still underestimated the impact of the TV. In such cold weather, no one who was watching outside left.

All I can say is that the desire to watch TV resisted the cold winter.
