Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 1008 The Legend of the Condor Heroes!
Bang Geng drove his jeep and quickly arrived at the intersection where he usually picked up and dropped off Tang Yanling from get off work. Tang Yanling, who was already waiting there, waved to the jeep as soon as she saw it. Only after the jeep stopped in front of her did Tang Yanling open the door and quickly get in.

After Tang Yanling closed the passenger door, Bang Geng started the jeep and drove Tang Yanling towards Tongluoguxiang.

The jeep sped along the road. Sitting in the passenger seat, Tang Yanling, thinking about what had happened at work that afternoon, smiled and told Bang Geng, "Bang Geng! Do you know that this afternoon, after the news of the imported electrical appliances arriving in Beijing spread, people who wanted to buy color TVs came to our unit like a flood, one wave after another, asking Director Jiang for quotas. As a result, Director Jiang was so scared that he didn't even dare to go back to his office and hid in the logistics office, not daring to show his face."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's explanation, Bang Geng recalled what Li Huaide had told Jia Dongming when he came to move the color televisions that afternoon. He smiled and said to Tang Yanling, "Yanling! Although the Commerce Bureau purchased fifty color televisions this time, only thirty actually reached your Commerce Bureau. The news that your Commerce Bureau owns color televisions hasn't spread yet. Once it does, your Director Jiang will probably have a headache over these color televisions for a while."

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Tang Yanling, remembering that her family would also be able to watch a color television tonight, quickly asked Banggeng, "Banggeng! Has our color television been moved back yet? Can we watch a color television tonight too?"

When Banggeng heard Tang Yanling's question, he thought of the videotapes he had brought home that afternoon and said to Tang Yanling with a happy face, "Yanling! This afternoon I made two trips and brought home the color TV, VCR, and washing machine. Uncle Wu not only gave us so many appliances, but also a lot of videotapes. I think we can watch the videos while we eat tonight."

Just as Bang Geng was driving Tang Yanling home, Jia Dongming moved the black-and-white television set, which was originally in the main room, to Jia Zhangshi's room. He then helped Jia Zhangshi install the antenna before unpacking the color television and VCR and placing them on the horizontal table in the main room.

After setting up the color TV and VCR, Jia Dongming skillfully plugged the transmission cables into the interfaces of the color TV and VCR respectively, then plugged in the power and turned on the color TV and VCR respectively.

After seeing the VCR signal appear on the color television screen, Jia Dongming picked up a videotape that was placed next to him, inserted it into the VCR's slot, and then pressed the play button.

"A faint dream seems to have appeared before, stirring up waves in my heart! Let go of worldly affairs and sever grudges, and accompany each other to the ends of the earth!" When the song of "The Loyal Heart" played from the speakers of the color television, Jia Anqing, who was standing to the side, immediately jumped up and down with joy, and did not forget to ask Jia Dongming, "Dad! What program are you playing?"

In the real world, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a long martial arts novel written by Jin Yong from 1957 to 1959. However, Jia Dongming discovered that there was no such person as Jin Yong in this world, let alone the martial arts novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes. It was for this reason that Jia Dongming dared to bring the TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes from the system space to this era.

Jia Dongming was playing the 1983 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. When his daughter asked him about it, Jia Dongming smiled and introduced it to her: "Anqing! We are playing The Legend of the Condor Heroes now. It tells the story of the Southern Song Dynasty's struggle against the two powerful enemies, the Jin Dynasty and the Mongols. The protagonist, Guo Jing, gradually grows from a naive young man to a great hero who serves his country and people, all for the sake of avenging his father."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's description of the plot, Jia Anqing immediately asked him, "Dad! Can I invite Sister Xiuer and Sister Xiaoqing to our house to watch The Legend of the Condor Heroes as well?"

Hearing his daughter's request, Jia Dongming smiled and nodded, replying, "Of course, no problem, but we'll have to wait until after we've finished dinner."

"Dad! Can I invite Xiaodong and Sanmao to watch The Legend of the Condor Heroes too?" Jia Anmin's eyes lit up when he saw that Jia Dongming agreed to let his sister invite Xiuer and the others to watch the video. He quickly pleaded with Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Anmin's question, he smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay! After dinner, you can go and call them. But remember, you must call them quietly and make sure no one else knows."

Soon, Banggeng and Tang Yanling returned to the courtyard house together. As the young couple entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of a television coming from the main room. Banggeng instinctively quickened his pace and headed towards the main room. However, as soon as they entered, their attention was immediately drawn to the TV drama playing. Seeing that Banggeng and Tang Yanling had returned, Jia Dongming immediately called out to Qin Huairu, who was engrossed in watching TV, "Huairu! The children are back. Turn off the VCR and the TV. They can watch them after dinner."

"Dad! This Legend of the Condor Heroes is so good! Can we eat and watch it at the same time?" Jia Anqing heard Jia Dongming's instructions to Qin Huairu and learned that Jia Dongming was going to turn off the TV. She quickly reached out and took Jia Dongming's arm, pleading with him.

Upon hearing his daughter's plea, Jia Dongming refused without hesitation, saying, "No! If you want to watch TV, you have to finish eating first."

The Jia family usually takes at least half an hour to eat, but this time, because everyone was eager to watch TV, they finished their food in less than ten minutes. Jia Anqing, in particular, who usually dawdles over her meals, finished her food in less than five minutes and then ran outside.

Jia Anqing quickly ran to Sha Zhu's door and called out to him, "Xiaoqing! Xiaoqing! Come out here quickly, I have something very important to tell you."

"Sister Anqing! What do you need me for?" As soon as Jia Anqing finished speaking, a girl's voice came from inside the house, and then a little girl of about seven or eight years old came out of the house.

Upon seeing He Xiaoqing, Jia Anqing immediately said to her, "Xiaoqing! Go and call your cousin Xiuer, and then come to my house with her to watch TV."

When He Xiaoqing learned why Jia Anqing had come to see her, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She asked Jia Anqing, "Sister Anqing! I have a TV at home too. If I want to watch TV, I can watch it at home. Why would you want to invite me to your house to watch TV?"

"Xiaoqing! The content on our TV is completely different from what your TV is showing. You should quickly call your brother out so we can all come to my house to watch TV together." Upon hearing He Xiaoqing's reply, Jia Anmin immediately smiled and said to He Xiaoqing before Jia Anqing could explain.

He Xiaoqing was puzzled by Jia Anmin's answer, but she still followed his instructions and called out into the house, "Brother! Brother Anmin wants you to go to his house to watch TV."

Soon He Xiaodong ran out of the house. He saw Jia Anmin and his sister standing outside and asked Jia Anmin curiously, "Brother Anmin! The programs on your TV are not the same as the programs on my TV. Why did you suddenly think of inviting us to your house to watch TV?"

Upon hearing He Xiaodong's question, Jia Anmin thought of their color television and VCR, as well as the upcoming TV series, and a smug expression immediately appeared on his face. He said to He Xiaodong in a mysterious tone, "Xiaodong! I have good news for you. If you don't come, you'll regret it later."

"Anmin! What exactly is your TV showing that's making you so mysterious? Uncle will come with you to take a look." Shazhu came out of the house when he heard the commotion outside. When he heard what Jia Anmin said to He Xiaodong, he immediately remembered what the security guards from the security department had been talking about at the steel mill's canteen that night. He then smiled and said to Jia Anmin.

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Jia Anmin confidently replied, "Uncle He! When you come to my house later and see what's on our TV, I guarantee you won't want to go home to sleep tonight."
