Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Color TVs Money Can’t Buy
Because Yu Cheng and others were around, Su Wanyu made another big table of dishes in the afternoon.
After dinner, Cheng An remembered the portable player that Yu Rou had given to Jiang Mianmian and asked her for it, “Mianmian, the portable player Sister Yu gave you, let Brother borrow it to listen.”
That was a great item, and at the moment, probably only Yu Rou had one in the entire Hua Country.
Envious, he had asked a friend abroad to buy one for him, but unfortunately, they weren’t plentiful there either and required queuing. He had been waiting for several months and still hadn’t got it.
“Of course, Brother Cheng An, just wait a moment, I’ll go get it for you.” Jiang Mianmian said and went inside to bring out not only the portable player but also the cassettes her dad had bought for her earlier in Haicheng.
“Brother Cheng An, I’ll give all these cassettes to you, you can listen to whichever you want,” Jiang Mianmian said generously.
“Alright.” Cheng An took the portable player, fiddling with it joyfully. Once he figured out how to use it, he picked a pop music cassette, put on the headphones, and began nodding his head to the music.
Cheng An had always been playful, fond of new things. As the saying goes, the harder something is to obtain, the more one cherishes it.
He had initially wanted to borrow it from Yu Rou but didn’t manage to, and now he had successfully borrowed it from Jiang Mianmian.
Yu Cheng and Tang Lin saw Cheng An acting like a child and shook their heads helplessly.
Jiang Changhai, fearing they might get bored, deliberately turned on the TV to let the kids watch.
Looking at the colorful screen, Cheng An casually remarked, “Uncle Jiang, your house is quite trendy. Our country had just produced color TVs a few days ago, and your family has already got one.”
Earlier in the morning when he saw that Jiang Mianmian’s family had a color TV, he was somewhat surprised but didn’t ask because there were many people around.
You should know that the first batch of color TVs in the country wasn’t plentiful, and generally, even wealthy families couldn’t get their hands on them.
“All thanks to Buddy Yu, he bought it from Capital City,” Jiang Changhai casually shifted the responsibility to Yu Cheng.
He didn’t have a choice, as their remote town didn’t sell color TVs.
Moreover, he had previously said in the village that it was Yu Cheng who had bought it from Capital City, and to keep his story consistent, he could only pin it on Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng naturally knew that Uncle Jiang said this to protect Little Lamb.
Although he also knew that his few brothers wouldn’t harm Little Lamb, such matters were best kept to as few people as possible.
He nodded in agreement and said, “Right, I bought it in Capital City.”
Cheng An, who had asked the question casually, didn’t take it seriously and quickly focused back on a thrilling scene in the TV drama.
Seeing that they were all watching the TV attentively, Jiang Changhai walked over, patted Yu Cheng on the shoulder lightly, gave him a look, and then walked out.
Yu Cheng understood what Jiang Changhai meant and followed him out.
Outside, Yu Cheng asked with curiosity, “Uncle Jiang, what’s up? Is there something wrong?”
“Buddy Yu, I have something I want to ask your opinion about,” Jiang Changhai said with rare seriousness.
“Uncle Jiang, just tell me anything. I’ll certainly help if I can,” Yu Cheng thought Jiang Changhai encountered some problems and needed help.
“No, Buddy Yu, you misunderstood, it’s not about needing help. I have something I’m unsure about and want to ask your opinion,” Jiang Changhai explained.
