Yu Cheng placed the color TV that Jiang Mianmian had made on the back seat, and he sat on the other side, holding the TV, and waved to Jiang Changhai and the others through the window, "Uncle, Auntie, Little Lamb, see you next time."
"Goodbye, Brother Yu."
Jiang Mianmian responded with a bright and sweet smile, but as the car drove away, the corners of her mouth drooped.
She was quite reluctant to part.
Seeing this, Jiang Changhai comforted her by putting his arm around Jiang Mianmian’s shoulder, "Alright, my girl, your Brother Yu has left, we should head back now."
"Mm," Jiang Mianmian let her dad lead her back into the house.
The jeep drove less than an hour before it brought Yu Cheng to the military base in the neighboring city.
He waited there for almost ten minutes before boarding the plane back to the Capital City.
When Yu Cheng returned, he had told Elder Yu in advance, and Uncle Ming was waiting for him outside as soon as he got off the plane.
Uncle Ming, upon seeing the TV in Yu Cheng’s hand, asked in surprise, "Yu Cheng, we have TV factories in the Capital City, why did you bother to bring back a TV?"
"Uncle Ming, this TV is different from the ones we have in the Capital City," Yu Cheng didn’t intend to explain in detail, simply stating the fact.
Uncle Ming didn’t ask further and drove Yu Cheng straight back to the military compound.
When Yu Cheng arrived, it was already past twelve o’clock. Elder Yu, knowing he was returning today, hadn’t gone to the command center in the afternoon.
"Grandpa, I’m back," Yu Cheng said, holding the TV and hurrying forward a few steps.
"Walk slowly, what are you doing with that TV?" Elder Yu also looked at his eldest grandson holding the TV and asked with curiosity.
"Grandpa, wait a moment for me," Yu Cheng didn’t offer an explanation but directly replaced their home’s black and white TV with the color TV he was holding.
After turning on the TV and randomly selecting a program, he smiled and asked, "Grandpa, do you see how different this TV is from our previous one?"
When Elder Yu saw the color TV, he was also surprised, pointing at it and asking, "Yu Cheng, did you buy this from abroad?"
One couldn’t blame Elder Yu for asking; after all, domestic technology hadn’t advanced to producing color TVs yet, only foreign countries had them.
Yu Cheng raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly smug, "Grandpa, this color TV was made by Mianmian and me."
"This color TV was made by you and that little girl?"
Surprise first showed on Elder Yu’s face, then he became serious, "Are you telling the truth?"
Seeing this, Yu Cheng also became solemn, "Yes, this color TV was made by Mianmian. I just brought her some materials and reference books, and helped her out with the assembly, how to put together the circuit, and how to modify the circuit board, as well as some more advanced technologies, were actually researched and completed by Mianmian herself."
"Xiao Cheng, if you can confirm that this color TV was made by Mianmian, then I must report it to the relevant departments. You should know what this color TV means for our country," Elder Yu’s tone was more serious than ever, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.
Currently, the country did not have the technology to turn a black and white TV into a color TV.
If this TV was indeed made by that little girl, it would be of great use to the nation.
This technology could not only be used for color TVs but also apply to national healthcare and other fields.
