"You smug Zhang Guihua, just wait for your mother!"
After the other villagers consoled Zhang Guihua with a few words, they also left reluctantly.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu, having heard what their grandma had said earlier, worried that they wouldn’t be able to watch TV anymore, grabbed the old lady’s arms—one on each side—and cooed as soon as the others had left, "Grandma, are we really not going to watch TV anymore?"
"No more TV, can’t let certain shameless people take advantage for free," Zhang Guihua was still angry and didn’t think before responding to her grandsons’ question.
"Oh, Grandma, I want to watch TV, I want to watch cartoons. Our family finally has a TV, it would be such a waste not to watch it, Grandma, you’re the best, I know you’re the best grandma in the whole world," Zhiwen started his sugar-coated pleas while hugging his grandma’s arm.
"Yeah, Grandma, if you don’t let them watch, just let us watch. Please, Grandma, we beg you. If it comes to it, we’ll eat less snacks to save money for the electricity bill. You love us the most, just let us watch. We’ll only watch in the afternoon, not too much," Zhiwu was also racking his brains to persuade his grandma.
Zhang Guihua was charmed by her two grandsons, she stretched out her hand to touch their heads, and said with a smile, "Alright, this winter vacation I’ll allow you to watch one hour at noon and two hours in the evening."
"Oh, that’s great, Grandma, I knew you’d be the most understanding and loving grandma," Zhiwen, having achieved his goal, showered her with flattery.
"Right, Grandma, you’re the best, the very best, we love you the most," Zhiwu chimed in with his brother’s praise.
As long as it let them watch TV, they’d do anything.
After Zhang Guihua had agreed to let the two grandsons watch TV, she turned a blind eye to other children from the village who came to watch TV, not intending to drive them away.
Seeing Zhang Guihua’s attitude, the village children also vied to curry favor with the Jiang Family kids, hoping to tag along and watch TV at their home.
The Jiang Changhai family was still unaware of all the fuss their black-and-white TV had caused in the village.
Yu Cheng stayed with the Jiang Family for a week, during which time he visited his uncle at the farm once. After returning from the farm, he planned to go back to the Capital City.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the Jiang Changhai family felt a bit reluctant to let him go.
"Buddy Yu, it’s not easy for you to come here, why not stay another couple of days?" Jiang Changhai urged.
"Yeah, Yu Cheng, the winter break is still so long, stay a few more days before you go," Su Wanyu also tried to persuade him.
"Right, Brother Yu, stay a couple more days," Jiang Mianmian also said, tugging on Yu Cheng’s arm.
These past few days, everything she did was with Yu Cheng. Time had flown by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to leave.
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Wan, Mianmian, I’ve been away from home for quite a long time, and my family misses me. It just so happens that there’s a plane bringing supplies tomorrow, and I can take that plane back," Yu Cheng explained to them.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu no longer insisted, "What Yu Cheng said makes sense. Elder Yu is getting on in years, and since it’s your holiday, you should indeed spend more time with your family. It’s convenient since there’s a plane."
"Alright then, come and visit when you have time," Jiang Changhai instructed.
"Sure, don’t worry, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Wan, I’ll come over when I have time," Yu Cheng said, also feeling a bit reluctant to leave.
Early the next morning, a jeep came to pick people up.
