living in a mountain village

Chapter 4 Watching TV in the Ancestral Hall, Housewarming Banquet
The old people in the village saw Lin Hao who had been busy for several days and finally got free, and asked Lin Hao: "Boy Lin, you have moved to the wooden house in the back mountain for several days, should you start a pot? Please, everyone!" Come over and have a housewarming meal."

"I've been renovating the wooden house for the past few days. Now it's basically completed. Come over here to say hello to everyone. I invite everyone to have a housewarming dinner tomorrow. But whoever cooks, you have to find some talents for me. Well, it doesn't matter if I start the fire myself, I can't show my skills when I invite everyone to dinner."

"I'll ask my daughter-in-law to help you," said the old village chief.

"Okay, I'm going out for a trip to buy some meat." Lin Hao was about to leave the village.

"There is wild boar smoked at home, and it's in the green vegetable field. Why spend that money?" Several old people reprimanded Lin Hao, "I know you have money, but you can't spend it like this. Go to your place for housewarming The meal is to make you happy, not to make you spend money."

"Even if I don't buy anything like meat, I have to go out once, because the TV and TV signal receiver I bought have also been told to go to the county town outside the mountain to pick them up." Lin Hao said.

After bidding farewell to the few people outside the ancestral hall, Lin Hao drove out again in the carriage of the old village chief's family. "With emotion, the carriage is almost becoming the exclusive car of Boy Lin." The old village head laughed.

In order not to be discovered by the villagers, Lin Hao pretended to be busy for several days.Every day I drive out in the afternoon and come back in the middle of the night.

After working hard for almost a week, people in the village always thought that Lin Hao was renovating his house.Today I heard Lin Hao explain that I will invite everyone to a housewarming dinner tomorrow, and I am very happy.The children even jumped three feet high.

Lin Hao went to the county town outside the mountain, first installed the TV and TV signal receiver on his car, and bought two pork belly.I bought a few boxes of Coke Sprite and other drinks and some snacks.I moved everything into the kayak, hid it in the car, and returned to the village.

Lin Hao installed the TV and the TV signal receiver in the outer hall of the ancestral hall, and fixed the TV signal receiver facing the southeast direction, turned on the power and tried the effect, the TV signal was good and the image was very clear.

Lin Hao moved all the remaining things back home, put them in the refrigerator and ate something casually, then drove the carriage towards the village home.A few old people had eaten, and now they were playing chess with the lights on in the ancestral hall.

"The extra things in the outer hall of the ancestral hall should be the TV bought by Lin Xiaozi. If we don't understand it, don't play around with it. It will be bad if it is damaged." The village chief said to several people, "It is estimated that Lin boy I will also come over to give everyone's help, and we will take turns to turn on the TV in the future."

"Here comes the village chief, and the car is put in the yard for you." Several people who heard Lin Hao's voice from a long distance waved to Lin Hao.

"This thing is the TV you mentioned before." The village chief said with certainty.

"That's right. I tried it after installing it just now. The signal is very good and the picture is very clear. You can ask everyone to watch TV. Now the TV series "Journey to the West" seems to be on the air." Lin Hao is not very sure Said.

"In the future, everyone can watch CCTV's news broadcast from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every night to learn about our country's policies and guidelines. Now we live in the mountains, but we can't be out of touch with society." Lin Hao explained.

The sound of a few gongs spread throughout the village, but all the animals that could walk gathered in the ancestral hall.

"Here I am announcing two things. One is that Lin Haolin bought a TV for the village. Everyone can come and watch TV to pass the time every night. The other is that Lin Hao's house has been installed. Please come over to eat tomorrow. Housewarming dinner, if there is nothing to do, go to help."

The switch screen of Lin Hao turning on the TV gradually appeared. With the classic theme song of "Journey to the West", the TV series just started, and everyone in the village scattered in a patchwork order and stared at the TV.At this time, the plot has developed to the point where Sun Wukong returned from his studies and went to heaven to become the official position of Bi Mawen.

When Sun Wukong found out that he was only a small official who raised horses by the Jade Emperor, he felt that he had not been reused, so he left in anger and proclaimed himself the Monkey King at the foot of the mountain. The emperor was impatient, so he simply named the monkey the Monkey King and ordered him to guard the Peach Garden.

The compact plot kept attracting everyone's attention, and it took nearly an hour to finish an episode of Journey to the West.Then came the evening news of CCTV.

As the news ended, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.Lin Hao turned off the TV, "It's getting late, everyone should go back to rest, everyone can come and watch TV every night in the future. The village chief and others will have the final say on the specific arrangements. Of course, if there is any problem You can also come to me."

"Tomorrow, if you have nothing to do, remember to help Boy Lin make a banquet. Don't forget that everyone will go to his place to eat and have some joyful housewarming."

"Understood." Everyone laughed.

After Lin Hao's joining, the small village, which was still somewhat lifeless, gradually began to show a little vitality.Life in the mountains is really hard, except for those who have lived here for generations, it seems difficult for outsiders to adapt to such a life.

Although Lin Hao has improved part of the life in the village, most of it is because he wants to integrate into the village.When it was time for the third pole that day, some people in the village cut some vegetables from their own vegetable gardens, and some people brought wild pork that had been smoked years ago to Lin Hao’s home. The two pieces of pork bought outside the mountain were taken out, and a box of Coke and snacks were brought out and distributed to the children.

"I told you not to buy meat, why did you still buy it?" Although the old village chief complained, he was actually very happy in his heart. After all, there were not many bacon in the village.

"If you want to eat, you have to eat well. After talking about it, I am also a member of the village. Why do you have to divide it so cleanly? Besides, don't be so picky about the wedding banquet, although I didn't bring everyone It’s a way to make a lot of money, but I can still bring you the money to buy meat.”

Lin Hao thought for a while, "But I don't want to go out all the time, and finally find a young man from the village to come back. I'll just help the staff."

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready." Seeing that the food had been served, the children spread out and informed the whole village.

"Uncle Village Chief, let's have dinner first. Let's take it easy for the rest of the day." Lin Hao said, "This is my family's housewarming banquet. Everyone is free to eat."
