Chapter 90 Uncle and Madam
There is a big difference between having a TV and not having a TV. TV allows people to learn about the outside world, making them less bored and greatly enriching their inner world.
However, it was unlikely that the old man and his family would buy a TV themselves in the short term, so Lin Chuan simply bought one for them.
Besides the television, Lin Chuan also had Tong Hong buy six watches.
The old man has an alarm clock, but no watch. He has to estimate the time when he goes out, which sometimes causes him to miss things.
Most importantly, Lin Yang likes it, his uncle likes it, and although Lin Yue didn't say it, Lin Chuan saw envy and longing in her eyes.
Then let's buy them all. One yuan each, two hundred and one, is a small amount of money for Lin Chuan.
He won 7,000 yuan in a lottery, gave 3,000 yuan to his mother, and still had 4,000 yuan left unused.
I bought a lot of snacks, drinks, clothes, and shoes, and only 2800 was left out of 5680. Half of it was gone in one go.
After thanking Tong Hong for the suggestion, Lin Chuan hoisted the TV onto his shoulder, grabbed a bag with one hand, and carried drinks and a large bag in the other, and started walking back.
"So this is the barbecue Ogawa was talking about? It's all skewered, how can it possibly taste good?"
When the old man and his family finished work and returned home, they saw the younger generation in the courtyard making skewers and curiously gathered around to watch.
"Grandpa, this is delicious! Xiaoxue loves it the most."
"Dad, it's pretty good. Try it when Xiao Chuan finishes grilling it. Hey, Xiao Xue, where's your brother?"
"Mom, my brother said he was going out for a bit, and I saw him walk that way."
Mom: "Why is this child running around again? It's already past six o'clock."
Grandma: "It's alright, Xiao Chuan is a smart guy, he should be back soon."
"Hey, bro, bro's back, and he brought a lot of stuff."
Lin Yang has sharp eyes and spotted Lin Chuan walking towards them from a distance at a glance.
At his shout, several younger members of the family ran over.
"Brother, brother, I've come to pick you up."
"Brother, what did you buy?"
"Wow, soda! Bro, did you go buy some soda?"
With the arrival of his friends, Lin Chuan's belongings were quickly divided up, except for the television set.
None of them recognized the television packaging, but Lin Feng did.
"Brother, is that a TV set you're carrying?"
Lin Feng's words immediately made Lin Yang and Lin Yue stop in their tracks. They both looked at Lin Chuan, who nodded.
"Yes, we bought a TV. You can watch it when you're relaxing in the evening."
"Oh, we can watch TV now! A TV! Dad, my brother bought us a TV."
Lin Yang exclaimed in surprise and ran home as fast as he could, shouting as he ran.
Lin Yue followed Lin Chuan and said, "Brother, this must be very expensive."
Lin Chuan reached out and patted her head:
"Don't worry about money. You're just a kid. Don't think about things all the time. Just be happy."
"Brother, I'm already eleven."
"Isn't Eleven a child too?"
Lin Yang's shouts attracted the adults, and his uncle ran ahead of them.
"Xiao Chuan, you bought a TV?"
"Yes, I had the driver bring it this morning."
Grandpa: "Nonsense, TVs are so expensive, why would you buy this thing?"
Grandma: "Oh dear, how much does this cost? We'll go to sleep right after dinner, we don't need this. Xiao Chuan, can we return this? You can return it tomorrow."
"Grandma, Grandpa, it can't be returned. It's not expensive. It's just a matter of selling a few wild boars. Consider it my way of showing my respect to you."
Having a TV means I don't have to go to bed so early; I can watch the news and weather forecast in the evening.
"Nonsense! What's so interesting about TV? It's so expensive, and you didn't even discuss it with us first."
"What are you yelling about? Xiao Chuan bought you a TV and you still dare to act tough. You're showing off."
Just now we were talking about Lin Chuan's grandmother, but when she saw the old man with a stern face, she immediately started lecturing him.
A group of people chattered excitedly, the children were thrilled, and the uncle and aunt were happy but also a little embarrassed, since everyone knew this thing was expensive.
But since Lin Chuan had already bought it, a group of people gathered around to watch as he started unpacking it.
"It's lit up, someone's here... Oh, no one's here again."
"Turn a little more, okay, stop, turn back a little bit."
Lin Chuan and Lin Feng set up the antenna, and sound and picture appeared on the television.
It was almost seven o'clock, and no one complained of being hungry. Everyone was gathered around the TV, including the old man.
Lin Chuan went to spread out the charcoal, which Lin Feng had already prepared, and the platform was also set up.
The charcoal had burned a bit too long, so Lin Chuan added some new charcoal and prepared to start grilling.
Lin Feng is the most reliable one. Noticing that Lin Feng had gone out, he came along to help.
"Brother, how much did you sell the wild boar for?"
"More than six thousand."
Lin Chuan overstated the amount, but since he had already destroyed the order and they weren't familiar with Tong Hong, they couldn't ask him. He could just report whatever amount he wanted.
"Do you have any ideas about buying a TV for Grandpa and Grandma?"
Lin Chuan spent several thousand yuan on an "outsider" without informing him, and he also wanted to know if Lin Feng had any thoughts on it.
Lin Feng flipped the meat skewers, looking completely indifferent.
"Brother, what are you talking about? What could I possibly think? Anyway, you're the one who makes all the money in our family, and I'm just one of the ones who benefit from it, haha."
"They are our closest relatives, and we have decades ahead of us. We will help them as much as we can when we are able."
"Yes, brother, I know. Grandpa and Uncle often bring us things. I remember that."
"Hey, bro, what about Uncle and the others?"
Lin's father had brothers and sisters, and naturally, his mother, Wang Xiuxia, also had two older sisters and one younger brother.
My two older sisters, my eldest and second aunts, are alright. They married far away and I rarely see them, but when we do, we get along well.
This uncle is a real jerk. He's the only boy in the family, and he's spoiled rotten. He doesn't do anything productive and just wanders around all day. He's what people call a street urchin or a good-for-nothing.
"Let's see about my uncle later."
Lin Chuan hadn't figured out how to answer this question. Saying that he treated them the same way he treated his uncles and the others was obviously impossible.
After Lin's father passed away, his uncle never cared about their family. When they occasionally came, they were treated like guests. His younger uncle would even help with the fields when he came.
Lin Chuan's idea was to ignore it, but he was afraid of upsetting his mother if he did, so he was in a dilemma.
The two brothers chatted as they grilled, and soon the aroma filled the air, drawing the attention of those inside the house to the commotion in the yard.
The old man turned off the TV with a stern face.
"Stop looking, stop looking! Everyone's crowding around here, making Xiao Chuan and Xiao Feng do all the work. What kind of behavior is this?"
Grandma slapped Grandpa on the shoulder: "You were the one watching the most enthusiastically just now."
Lin Chuan noticed that Lin Yang and Lin Yue still seemed reluctant to leave, and he knew they wanted to watch more. This was completely understandable, as he himself was extremely reluctant to turn off the TV when he first watched it.
Lin Chuan went inside and moved the TV to the doorway, so he could watch it while eating.
Lin Yang and Lin Yue were happy, and the others were also very happy; they had actually been a little reluctant to part with them earlier.
Feeling bad about making Lin Chuan and Lin Feng work, the old man played the "bad guy" and turned off the TV with a stern face.
