As a large village with a population of more than 2,000, Liangjiahe has two color TV sets. It is very reasonable and logical.

What is illogical is that Matchmaker Liu said that Goose is the richest man in the village. Why doesn't the richest man have a color TV?

Based on this inference, Goose's richest result in the village is third place.

Even further back.

So the problem is that the matchmaker's words are too watery, which makes the woman guess whether Goose has any money or not.

In other words, in addition to the conditions that the woman asked for at the beginning, such as three turns and one beep, she also asked Goose to buy a color TV.

Only in this way can you prove that you really have financial resources.

At the beginning, Matchmaker Liu explained to people eloquently:

"He has plenty of money, but if he only has money but no votes, you won't come to TV, right?"

His TV was finally made to order, and even if it was ordered by others, it wouldn’t be able to get it!

The two color TV sets in my village were actually bought by one person, but they had a back door.

Okura’s sister-in-law is from the county town, and I heard that his sister-in-law is a cadre, so they can’t buy anything!”

However, the old girl's aunt refused to let her go, thinking that it was a sign of incompetence that she couldn't get TV tickets if she tried to break up the relationship.

With only money but no ability, she said she was not optimistic about this marriage.

Anyway, if you want everyone to accept everything the woman says, you must buy a color TV.

This proves that he has both financial resources and ability.

Matchmaker Liu had no choice but to negotiate with Goose and let him buy a color TV.

Goose tried to communicate with the old girl, but it was said that it ended in failure.

Anyway, the marriage fell apart in the end.

Everyone in the village also knew that Goose's daughter didn't follow him because he couldn't buy a color TV.

Of course Okura also heard about this, and felt that he had his own responsibility here, and felt a little guilty.

Seeing that New Year's Eve was getting closer day by day, after dinner that day, the goose came again.

This happens every year, and I send something over at the end of the year.

This year, like last year, I brought new clothes to everyone in the Okura family.

We carefully select styles according to each person's wearing characteristics, and then bring several sizes of each style, wear them to see which size is suitable.

You know, regardless of the fact that life is better now than before, it just means that we are full to eat, clothed warmly, and have some food left in our hands.

If you want to eat well, wear well, and have a lot of money, it's still early.

Let’s just say that wearing new clothes during the New Year is something that not everyone in every household can do.

Just this year, there are still many families who cannot afford new clothes for the New Year.

The most I can do is make a new coat for the noisy child, even if it’s the New Year.

As for a large family, the proportion of families in the village where the whole family, old and young, all wear new clothes is not large.

There are seven members of Okura's family, young and old. Goosen gave each of them a new suit of clothes, which is really a big deal.

Of course, in addition to repaying the favor, it can also be seen that Goose has indeed made money in recent years.

Giving away these clothes was not difficult for him at all.

In the past few years, I have become accustomed to giving away goose balls. In the beginning, Okura-chan always gave in, but now she is no longer pretentious.

Anyway, Okura was already prepared and would give him a gift in return.

It's not a loss to him either.

The whole family happily tried on the clothes that Goose had given them. Everyone had new clothes that suited them.

After trying them all on, Goosewen wrapped up the others that were inappropriate and took them away when he went back later.

Okura had already made tea and guided him to his living room to drink tea.

In half a year's time, the Okura family had a completely new look.

With so many houses in Okura's house, it's as warm as spring wherever you go, and according to Okura, the temperature at home is like this 24 hours a day.

The small boiler is automatic, as long as you don't forget to fill the coal box every one or two days and dump the ashes in the ash hopper.

Not only does the room have a constant temperature 24 hours a day, but the faucet also produces cold water when turned one way and hot water when turned over there.

This surprised Goose.

I am also extremely envious.

Because the conditions of the Okura family are unimaginable to rural people.

Rural people have seen the best conditions, like the one in the village chief's house in Feitian, which had a coal stove in the winter.

The Feitian family must have been very luxurious. The coal stove was in the kitchen, and the tinplate chimney pipe passed through the east bedroom and into the main room that was used as the living room. A tinplate heating pack was also installed, and then the tinplate pipe was passed into the chimney.

In this way, the living room and the east bedroom of Feitian's house are very warm.

It's just that the so-called warmth means warmth when the stove is on.

When I woke up early in the morning, the stove went off early in the middle of the night, and the room was still as cold as an ice cellar.

Even so, this is already the most enjoyable and luxurious place in the village.

Other families, even if they build new houses, often cannot afford coal stoves. In winter, the heat source in the house is cooking on the stove.

After heating the kang, the room will not be so cold.

As for other families who have not yet built new houses, their homes are even colder.

Because today's new houses have bright glass windows, the doors and windows are tightly closed in winter.

In old houses, in winter, the most common thing is to hang a curtain at the door of the bedroom to block the cold wind.

As for the main room, in broad daylight one can only open the door and let the cold wind blow in.

The main room door is closed only at night.

Because the doors of the old house are all made of "all solid wood", if you close the door in broad daylight, the house will be completely dark.

So no matter how cold it is in winter, the door is always open during the day.

The most that can be done is to make a "half door" at the entrance of the main room.

The so-called half door means that the height of the two doors is only half of the door frame. Closing the half door can block the lower part of the doorway.

This can also play a role in resisting the cold wind, and the free upper part can not only make the room brighter, but also allow the stove smoke to drift out.

It is said that in the past, when foreigners came to our rural areas, they felt very strange.

They don't understand why the house is built in that way. In winter, they can only open the door and let the cold wind blow into the house?

Hundreds of years have passed, and it is now 1985, but the living conditions of the farmers living in the old houses are no different from those of their predecessors.

In other words, in a rural area under such conditions, the Okura household is so advanced that it would dazzle even Goosebi when entering the city.

Eating tap water, having heating in the house, and traveling around like this. Only those who are familiar with current affairs know that this is the life of city people.

As for those old farmers who work at home all year round and rarely go to the county town a few times in their lives, they have no idea what the life of urbanites is like.

Or maybe it's all based on imagination. The gatehouse of the emperor's house is better than our main house. The emperor uses gold hoes when going to the ground, and the emperor's wife eats pancakes every day...

In other words, most people in the village have never seen how city people live.

They only knew that Okura's family had running water and had such a big stove, but they didn't know that this level of advancement had surpassed that of most families in the county.

All I can say is that you can never imagine the happiness of rich people.

Goose had some money and had seen the living conditions of city people, so he could understand it and was shocked that Okura could make his home so advanced.

Seeing Goshen being immersed in shock for a long time and unable to extricate himself, Okura asked him:

"Brother Goose, you have built a new house anyway, do you want your home to be like this?"

The goose's twisted head shook like a rattle.

He couldn't imagine how much it would cost to do this.

I even dare not imagine that as a rural person, if I make my home so advanced, will I be like Li Zicheng?

After becoming the emperor, he set off firecrackers and ate dumplings every day to celebrate the New Year. The original eighteen years of the world were completed in only eighteen days.

Rural people are used to suffering and do not dare to live a life of too much enjoyment for fear of "promoting their longevity".

It's just that I can only think about this in my heart. If I say it like this, wouldn't it be a curse on Okura's family?

Seeing Goose twisting his head, Okura said, "It won't cost much."

If it were anyone else, Okura might not be so enthusiastic, but for Goose, he would look at him differently.

Because in the past few years, he has come to understand that Goose is a truly good person.

Take him as an example, he is kind and upright, diligent, down-to-earth and hard-working.
