Li Jianguo, who had just taken a sip of porridge, suddenly heard someone calling his name. He couldn't help but put down his bowl and walked over.
"Are you Li Jianguo?" The man in work clothes walked in and said with a slap in the face.
"Yes, yes, I am Li Jianguo, who are you?" Li Jianguo asked slightly suspiciously.
"That's right, we are here to give you a large color TV." The worker pointed to the back and said.
"What, color TV?"
Li Jianguo asked confused: "No, we didn't buy a color TV. Did you send it to the wrong place?"
"Is this Xikou Village?"
"Yes."
"You are the only one in Xikou Village named Li Jianguo, right?"
"yes!"
"That's right."
The worker smiled slightly, walked towards the door to unload the goods, and said, "Boss Zhao ordered it and asked us to deliver it to you."
"Boss Zhao?"
Li Jianguo muttered a few words, then turned around and looked behind him, "Old lady, do you think it was Zhao Shanhe who bought it for us?"
"Boss Zhao!"
Tian Lihua also heard this. After looking slightly stunned, she nodded subconsciously and said, "That's probably it. Apart from him, we don't know anyone named Zhao."
While the two were hesitating, a group of people walked in outside.
They are all neighbors in the surrounding area. Usually if there is any movement at home, they will come over to watch the excitement, not to mention that now they have to move down a color TV set.
"Hey, Lao Li, are you getting rich? Why did you buy such a big TV? It must be 17 years old!"
"It's not 17, it's 19!"
"You're 19, I've never seen such a big size before."
"And it's a color TV, which costs several thousand at least!"
…
A group of people were talking enviously.
Cui Xiaoju stepped forward, took Tian Lihua's hand and said, "Lihua, is your family going to get a wife? Otherwise, why would you buy such a big color TV?"
"I..." Tian Lihua was speechless.
"Lao Li, you can do it now. Not to mention that this kind of color TV is the first in our village. Even in our county, not many people have it at home."
"Tell us, what's going on? Where did you get so much money?"
"this……"
Li Jianguo was also stunned and didn't know how to explain it.
Just when it was so lively, Zhao Shanhe came back with Li Qiuya on his Suzuki King. They saw the scene here as soon as they came over. After parking the motorcycle, they walked in.
The villagers who were watching also saw the two men and instinctively moved out of the way.
But the way they looked at Zhao Shanhe was still the same as before, full of suspicion and disdain.
There is no way, why did Zhao Shanhe have such a bad reputation in Xikou Village before? How can a person whose father-in-law and mother-in-law even look down on him expect others to have a good look on him?
"Why is he here?"
"Yes, isn't he afraid of being kicked out by Lao Li again?"
"You can't say that. Didn't you see that this person came on a motorcycle with cigarettes and alcohol in his hand? This is the Mid-Autumn Festival to give gifts."
…
Hearing such comments, Li Qiuya tightly held Zhao Shanhe's arm.
Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly and didn't care.
"Boss Zhao, the color TV you bought has been delivered. We have just installed the antenna and debugged it. You can watch it directly. If you have any other requirements, we will go back if you don't."
Just at this moment, the worker came out of the house, and when he saw Zhao Shanhe, he quickly came over and asked politely.
"No more, sorry for the trouble, two masters. You can take this pack of cigarettes and smoke them on the road."
After Zhao Shanhe handed the gift in his hand to Li Qiuya, he took out a box of Hongtashan from his pocket and handed it over.
"Thank you boss!"
The two workers didn't expect to find a box of cigarettes, so they happily took it.
At this time, the small courtyard instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Zhao Shanhe in disbelief, with surprise on their faces.
Did you hear it right just now? The worker said that the color TV was bought by Zhao Shanhe?
How is this possible?
Didn't Li Jianguo say that Zhao Shanhe was a waste, a prodigal who had nothing to do, a coward who was just waiting to die?
How can such a person say he can afford a color TV?
I didn’t buy it for myself, I bought it as a gift for my mother-in-law.
Isn't this too fake? How could there be such a good son-in-law? We have never seen him.
"Her aunt, is this color TV really bought for you by your son-in-law?"
Tian Lihua, who was looked at and questioned like this, just wanted to say a few words as forcefully as before, but after meeting Zhao Shanhe's eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
"Yes, this is what my son-in-law bought for me. He is a filial piety to us two. If you want to watch TV in the future, come to my house to watch it. It is colorful and beautiful." Tian Lihua said quite proudly.
"It's true! Her aunt, what on earth is going on? You didn't tell me!"
"What did I say? I didn't say anything!"
When she saw this man opening his mouth to expose her shortcomings, Tian Lihua's expression changed and she quickly interrupted. It was not that she was afraid of Zhao Shanhe, but she felt that Zhao Shanhe was completely different now from before, and she had to get to know him again.
"Lao Li, what does your son-in-law do? How can he afford such an expensive color TV?"
"That's right, why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"Young man, did you really buy this to honor your mother-in-law?"
"Yes." Zhao Shanhe nodded and responded.
"Mom and Dad, here are the cigarettes, alcohol, tea and cakes we bought, please put them away first!"
"oh oh!"
Tian Lihua took these things in a daze.
"Let me tell you, you still don't know, right? He is the director of Shanqiu Beverage Factory in our county, the factory that produces popsicles. Why do you think he has no money and can't afford a color TV? He will definitely buy it.
I can afford it.”
Cui Xiaoju stood nearby, rolled her eyes, and explained to the group of villagers in front of her.
"What? You said that Shanqiu Popsicle was produced by him?"
"Yes, Lao Niu, the popsicles your grandson often eats are not produced by Director Zhao, and they are now very popular." Cui Xiaoju introduced cheerfully.
"So that's it! No wonder!"
Lao Niu looked at Li Jianguo and said with envy: "Lao Li, I didn't expect that your daughter-in-law and son-in-law are so capable and capable. You have made a profit, and you will be comfortable for the rest of your life!"
"Yes, what are you two doing? Just take a rest!"
"Lao Li, please resign immediately and let your boy take over as soon as possible."
"Director Zhao, right? Does your Shanqiu Beverage Factory still lack people? Do you think I can do it?"
…
This group of villagers immediately surrounded Zhao Shanhe and started chatting away. Everyone looked at him with a kind of envy and respect in their eyes, and they all thought about whether they could go to work at Shanqiu Beverage Factory.
Seeing this scene, Tian Lihua felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
