Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

The Lu Family didn't have the proper television set, but a few senior officers' homes in the military compound did, so the few children who moved from house to house were not unfamiliar with televisions.

Lu Erxiong fiddled with the wooden box, "Mom, is it really a TV?"

Feng Qingxue blew on her hands, "Yes, it's our family's TV, to entertain grandpa and grandma at home. If you want to watch TV, you have to finish your homework first."

"I don't have any homework!" Lu Erxiong immediately replied.

Feng Qingxue remembered that schools nowadays don't assign much homework because education isn't given much attention.

Xibao nudged his chin, "I think it should be installed in the brigade office. Otherwise, our home would rarely have peace."

"Why? This is our TV, shouldn't it be at our house?" Lu Erxiong was very confused.

Fubao chimed in, "Erxiong, you're always thinking about eating, why don't you ever think? This is called nipping trouble in the bud. Our brigade only has one TV, so the villagers will definitely come to watch, and our home won't be able to fit so many people. It'll disturb our studying and resting. As big brother said, it's better to have it in the brigade office, so anyone who wants to watch can bring their own stool and watch."

Ye Yan smiled and nodded in agreement, "Fubao is right. Didn't we encounter conflicts because of TV watching back in the military compound a few years ago? The families with TVs didn't want the soldiers to watch at their places, refusing to leave even late at night."

Even in the military, having a TV was rare.

Lu Erxiong was quite disappointed, "It's much more convenient to have it at home."

That way, he'd be more popular among his friends, and he could decide who got to watch TV based on who listened to him.

He glanced at his mother; he didn't dare say this aloud, or else his backside would surely be smacked.

Feng Qingxue, unaware of her son's thoughts, laughed, "No worries, our new house in the Capital has a state-issued TV, two inches bigger than the one I bought, it's a fourteen-inch one."

The children cheered upon hearing this.

They would soon return to the Capital, and where the TV should be placed, at home or in the brigade office, didn't really matter to them, especially Erxiong, who was no longer fixated on the TV's location.

But with his sweet talk, as soon as the tractor pulled into Wanglou Brigade and hadn't even stopped, he shouted from the truck bed to Wang Zhenguo, "Granduncle, granduncle, Mom bought a TV to set up in the brigade for everyone to watch, hurry up and get people to help move it down, or we'll take it home!"

Many villagers were sunning themselves at the doors, and upon hearing this, they immediately got excited.

What was a TV? Some had only heard of it but never seen it, and some didn't even know what it was, looking puzzled, but seeing Wang Zhenguo's astonished expression, they instantly knew it must be something good.

Lu Tianzhi helplessly stopped the vehicle and unloaded the wooden box.

Wang Zhenguo quickly called his eldest son to help, looking at his niece who got off the vehicle shortly after, "Xiaoxue, is what Erxiong said true?"

Feng Qingxue nodded, "Our place is too small. When everyone wants to watch TV, there won't be enough room, so we'll just put it here in the office, the open space in front is big and convenient. But the TV is my personal property, not collective."

"Of course, what's yours is yours." Wang Zhenguo understood his niece's meaning very well. Wasn't it just that she was worried about overcrowding?

"Then uncle, you watch them install it. I'm heading home first." Feng Qingxue brought back a lot of stuff and was busy!
