Chapter 68

"Brother, it's settled. I will grow up in eight years. Then you can keep your word. Big brother will bear witness to me." Li Min said, pulling Li Wu aside.

Li Wu also looked at Li Wen in shock. Although Li Min was still young, he would not reach adulthood in eight or nine years. But he did not dare to promise to give his younger brother a bicycle in eight years.

Because he didn't even have one himself, he even said that he would give it to his younger brother. However, his younger brother was not very capable and he might not be able to do it.

"I also want a bicycle. When I grow up, I also want a bicycle." Li Yong and Li Tao also jumped when they heard about the bicycle.

"Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will give it to you all when you are adults." Li Wen promised the two little guys with a smile.

"You are so young, what kind of bicycle do you want? Isn't it nice to play with the diabolo in your hand!" The second uncle slapped the two little guys on the back of the head and said with a smile.

The salesperson at the counter just took it as a joke from a few children and didn't take it seriously. But she didn't expect that eight years later, Li Wen would actually buy three bicycles from her.

"Okay, go to the electrical appliance counter and buy a radio. Stop messing around with these guys." Father said to Li Wen.

"Okay, let's go buy a radio." Li Wen stopped talking to the little guys and followed his father and second uncle to the electrical appliance counter.

"Please bring me a Yellow River radio." Li Deyou smiled and said to the salesperson at the electrical appliance counter.

"A radio ticket costs ninety-five yuan." The salesperson said after looking at Li Wen and his son who were not moving.

Li Wen quickly took out the money ticket from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

The salesperson glanced at Li Wen in surprise. She didn't expect that it was the young man who took out the money and tickets.

The salesman took out a box from under the counter and contained a brand new radio.

Taking out the radio, the salesperson took a few more batteries before going in. Pulling out the antenna, turning on the switch, a dramatic sound suddenly came from the radio.

"Okay, the quality is okay." The salesperson put the radio into the box and handed it to Li Wen.

"Young man, put away the radio. The battery is also included." The salesperson said with a smile.

"Thank you, comrade salesperson." Li Wen took the box and handed it to his father.

After buying a radio, Li Deyou kept holding it so that the little guys wouldn't move it, for fear of breaking it.

After mother and second aunt bought the fabric, everyone went to the food store and bought some pastries and fruits for the New Year.

After shopping, the family joined in the fun at the market again. Because Li Deyou was worried that the radio would keep urging him to go home, everyone gave up and walked out of the city with their hands on their shoulders.

On the way back, his father Li Deyou asked his mother Wang Chunmei to hold the radio tightly. He did not dare to hold it for fear of falling and breaking the radio.

The little ones were very happy riding in the bullock cart along the way, and several of them sang children's songs.

After a while, the mother and the old lady also sang Dongfanghong, and for a while the women and children in the car started competing.

Father and second uncle led the bullock cart and walked ahead, excitedly discussing the radio.

The eldest brother, the second brother and the second sister were holding the bullock cart and talking and laughing.

Li Wen walked slowly behind the bullock cart. The scene in front of him was very warm. He enjoyed this life very much and enjoyed it.

It gets dark very quickly in winter. It was only after five o'clock, and it was already dark. The family walked and stopped all the way, and it was already evening when they returned to the village.

After returning home, everyone got off the car. The eldest brother Li Wu drove the bullock cart to the village breeding farm.

"Come on, turn on the tape recorder and take a look." Second uncle Li Dezhong said impatiently.

"This radio is really good! Your dad and I met it from the owner of a flour mill when we were working as laborers in the city."

"At that time, this thing was a real precious commodity. I heard that it was bought with gold bars." Second uncle Li Dezhong looked at the brand-new radio and was as happy as a child.

"It's really like the old days when swallows flew into ordinary people's homes in front of Wang Xietang"! Li Wen read a poem with a smile.

"What the hell? Ah Wen, why are you so pretentious?" Li Dezhong scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"It just describes the good things that were used by the nobles and nobles in the old days. Now we ordinary people can also use them." Li Wen explained briefly.

"Yes! The new society is so good. The people are the masters of the country and have stood up." His father, Li Deyou, said with a squinted smile.

In fact, the radio at this time was quite simple. It did not have a tall metal casing, nor was it small and exquisite. It was just a wooden box with some electrical buttons.

But it is indeed the first electrical appliance of the Li Wen family, and it is still a large piece that can be completed in one step.

In this era, having a radio was an extremely shocking bargaining chip when marrying a wife.

In the front hall, adults and children were sitting around the radio. Li Wen pulled out a line and continued to adjust it.

After a while the noise disappeared. First there was a national channel explaining news and current affairs.

Then there were two provincial-level channels. One was talking about New Year customs, and the other was playing an opera, which made the father and others prick up their ears.

Li Wen did not stop. He was testing how many channels he could listen to. At this time, the sound of Didi came, and Li Wen heard a female announcer with a sweet voice telling a story. He immediately guessed that this was the famous "Big Speaker Broadcast" (

I changed it a bit, I understand)

At this time, the story of the little tiger was being told, and the little guys immediately became energetic. They stood up and lay on the table to listen.

Li Wen smiled without stopping, and then returned to the first broadcast.

"Dad, this radio can temporarily receive three radio channels. Two national channels and one provincial channel." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Awen, hurry up and put it on the opera channel just now!" Several adults requested one after another.

"No, I want to listen to the children's channel," Li Yong, Li Tao, and Li Min immediately shouted.

The little guy Li Juan didn't understand either. Seeing several little brothers asking for it at the same time, she also followed suit.

"Go away, what are you kids listening to on the radio?" Second uncle Li Dezhong scolded loudly with a stern expression on his face.

"No, no, we hear it all the time in schools in town." The little guys immediately rolled on the ground.

This time, the second uncle was immediately paralyzed. Normally, he could handle it with only Li Tao at most. But today, he couldn't handle it if all four of them were together.

"Get up quickly, what does it look like on the ground? Don't you know it's hard to wash your clothes in the winter?"

At this time, the mother and the second aunt stood up. They picked up the Zhu directly in the corner and were about to beat a few little guys with the Zhu.

The little guys knew that their father would usually hit them only a few times, but their mother really hit them! They were so frightened that they stood up against the wall.

Today's battle is definitely the beginning of a long-lasting war between the adults and children in the family, and battles will definitely be unavoidable in the future.

Li Wen, his eldest brother, his second brother and his second sister were sitting on a stool eating melon. Anyway, they had storybooks to pass the time, so they didn't need to listen to the radio at all.

Although the mother and second aunt successfully intimidated several little ones, the battle was still not won.

The father and second uncle were listening to the opera, but a few little ones were humming and crying. They were crying and they lost their leisurely mood.

"Second uncle, just let them listen for a while. The children's channel will end at seven o'clock at most, and you will be listening then." Li Wen saw that the two sides were still in a tug of war, and suggested a compromise.

"Awen didn't even listen to the radio he was given as a reward, but asked everyone to listen to it. Let's listen to Awen's suggestion," the old lady said.

"Okay, let's listen to Awen." Second uncle Li Dezhong scratched his head and laughed dryly.

"Come on, you guys, come and sit down." The second uncle waved to the little guys standing in the corner to come over.

"Awen, put it on some children's channel for them." Second Aunt Cui Yanzi said with a smile.

Li Wen smiled and took the radio and tuned it to the children's channel. The sweet voice came out again and he was singing.

The little guys immediately stopped sobbing when they heard it. Each of them wiped their eyes and nose with their sleeves and started smiling playfully.

The two little guys, Li Yong and Li Tao, were so shameless. They ran over immediately and were no longer afraid of their father.

"Just listen well, don't move. A radio worth nearly 100 yuan is not enough." The second uncle hurriedly scolded Li Tao who stretched out his hand to touch the red light on his cell phone.

When I pulled Li Tao over, I just slapped him in the face a few times.

Li Tao ran to the other side of the table with tears in his eyes and continued listening to the radio.

The second uncle also gained some face and no longer messed with the little guys. He leaned against the wall and listened to the sweet voice coming from the radio.

At this time, Li Wen noticed several small heads sticking out of the walls on both sides of the room.

"Xiaoqiang, Aaron, what are you doing standing on the wall?"

"Brother Wenzi, are you playing the radio at home?" Li Qiang chuckled.

"I just bought the radio today. You guys have really sharp ears." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, don't try to force yourself. Come to my house and listen together. It happens to be a children's channel."

"Okay!" Several little guys quickly got down from the wall.

"These kids! They were so excited when they heard the broadcast, they were all on the wall." Second uncle Li Dezhong said with a smile.

"You're still talking about a baby. You have the nerve to say it, but you and my grandson are competing to hear it." The old lady sneered.

The little guys were happy to see the old lady supporting them.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Aunt Hua from Uncle Jiu's family and his accountant's wife Song Chunyan walked in with a group of children.

"Second Aunt, we came to your house to listen to the radio." Song Chunyan walked in and said with a smile.

"Chunmei, your family's living standard has improved dramatically now. Three turns and one ring will make a difference. I can see that everything will be fine in a short time," Aunt Hua said.

"Auntie, you are really good at talking. It's all thanks to the child. Come on, sit down quickly!"

Mother Wang Chunmei quickly took out stools for her two aunts to sit on.

Seven or eight little guys swarmed towards the table, all staring at the radio curiously.

These children were from the ninth uncle's family, the eighth uncle's family, and other children in the village. They were all aged from three to ten years old. They were chattering non-stop.

Some of the little ones had listened to the radio while studying in the town, and some had heard it at the village committee, but none of them had seen a radio. They were all very curious at this time.

"This radio is really good. Ayong and we have the best relationship. I will come to your house to listen to it in the future." Li Qiang flattered Li Yong and said.
