I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 380 Surprise

The busy tone is like a sudden short-circuit on a high-voltage line. The sound is not loud, but it always gives people the illusion of tinnitus, which is very uncomfortable.

Wei Lan shivered, and goosebumps stood up on her arms under her clothes.

　　Uncomfortable rubbing, Wei Lan poked her head into the room, "Brother Chao? What are you doing?"

There was a ping-pong-pong-pong-pong sound in the room.

 Wei Lan and Grandma Gu looked at each other, got up and went into the house together.

Youlan didn't know why, so he followed him into the house.

Gu Chaogang turned on the switch and found himself in Wei Lan's room, holding scissors in his hand, a chair under his feet, and gesticulating against a green leather line on the wall.

"What are you doing?" Grandma Gu was shocked. It had only been a month since the wire was brought back, and it was about to be cut.

"Okay, if you don't need it, don't use it. Why cut it?"

Wei Lan has sharp eyes. As soon as she entered the room, she saw a big-ass TV lying there quietly on the bed.

"Ah!" Wei Lan exclaimed excitedly, ran over in small steps, and touched the TV with her little hands, "Brother Chao, you bought a TV!"

Grandma Gu then noticed a big iron lump on the bed, "TV? What is a TV?"

The ancestors of the Gu family have some money. Grandma Gu is also a girl from a wealthy family. She has used gold and silver, but she has never used electrical appliances.

　　When the family was installing electric lights earlier, Grandma Gu said that she was afraid of wasting electricity and would not let Youlan turn on the lights. In fact, she was secretly worried about it for a while.

When no one was at home, Grandma Gu would turn on the light from time to time, shaking her head from side to side and staring at the light bulb.

I want to see how this lamp, which does not require kerosene or wax, lights up.

Grandma Gu still hasn’t figured it out yet. There is another TV at home.

 She approached the bed, and together with Wei Lan, she reached out and touched the TV.

　　The board is neat, like an iron box with three sides of iron, but the front is a dusty glass screen, vaguely reflecting the human figure.

Grandma Gu frowned and squinted for a long time. She couldn't help but turn around and took Wei Lan's hand and continued to ask: "Wei Lan, what is this TV used for?"

The glass looks quite smooth, but it doesn’t look like it’s used as a mirror.

"Ah - TV, TV..." Wei Lan recovered from the surprise, thought for a while and then explained with a smile: "You can watch programs and listen to news on TV!"

Afraid that Grandma Gu wouldn't understand, Wei Lan changed her words: "In the old days, weren't there people on the stage singing operas? You can see it on TV, but now that times have changed, it's not about singing operas, it's about the expedition of our revolutionary comrades , the red story of the Anti-Japanese War!"

Grandma Gu didn’t quite believe Wei Lan’s words.

Grandma Gu pursed her lips into a straight line, the wrinkles on her face trembled, and she turned her head to continue watching the TV on the bed.

 How big is the stage? Does this TV have more TVs?

 Let alone an adult singing opera, even a child cannot get in. How can we arrange a show?

Grandma Gu had doubts in her heart but didn't say it out loud. She just watched Gu Chao and Wei Lan struggling.

The TV is square and square, with a ginger-yellow casing. On the left is a 14-inch screen. There are two rotatable buttons in the upper row on the right. One is for changing channels, the other is for increasing the volume, and below is the TV amplification device.

　　Very contemporary.

 Wei Lan looked at Gu Chao with stars, knowing that this TV must not be cheap. Grandma Gu was nearby, so Wei Lan didn't say much.

 Gu Chao slowly fumbled with the physics book and basically knew how to connect the wires. Just as he was about to cut off the scissors, Wei Lan suddenly said: "Are you planning to install a TV in my house?"

Gu Chao turned his head to look at Wei Lan and nodded lightly.

Wei Lan almost laughed angrily, and immediately puffed up her face, stood up, pulled Gu Chao out of the chair, and pushed him towards the main room. Wei Lan murmured in a low voice: "Grandma and Youlan usually don't come to my house for fear of disturbing me. Why do you pretend to be in my house? I can watch it alone?"

Gu Chao wanted to say that the TV was just for you, but when he thought something was wrong, he leaned over and held Wei Lan's little hand, "Then what should I do?"

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes turned, and her brain flashed.

"Let's decorate the main room!" She trotted to the main room and stretched out her hands to sign, "Don't you have a long table in the corner of your room that is unused? Move it over and put it against this wall. The TV is here and we sit on the bamboo Just right in bed.”

Except for the educated youth who come back occasionally, there is no one else at home, and I am not afraid of others seeing me.

 And in this way, everyone can watch TV without worrying about disturbing anyone.

Gu Chao nodded lightly, "I'll listen to you."

The electrical wires in the main room were nailed a little high at first, so Gu Chao moved a ladder again. As soon as he climbed up, Wei Lan came over to hold the ladder.

Wei Lan looked up at him and asked, "Have the switches been turned on?"

“Pull it.” Gu Chao held the scissors in his mouth and pulled out the nail with the hook on the back of the small hammer in his hand.

 He handed the hammer to Wei Lan and carefully cut open the wire skin with scissors.

 Gu Chao had already finished processing the top of the plug wire. When the two wires were connected together, Gu Chao was afraid of making a mistake, so he read the physics textbook for a long time before starting.

Although the textbook knowledge covers the route, it is still a bit troublesome to actually operate it.

Looking at the Adam's apple rolling, I feel unsure.

There was no isolation tape for wrapping wires at home. After Gu Chao connected it, he went to pull the switch one after another. He was afraid that leakage would hurt Wei Lan, so he asked Wei Lan to move further away before pushing up the switch.

The uncomfortable sound of the switch being pushed up but not pulled down.

Gu Chao stared at the wiring port for a while, and felt slightly relieved when he saw that no sparks appeared.

Try to turn on the light in the main room, but it still lights up.

Wei Lan blinked: "Brother Chao, is this done?"

"I don't know yet." Gu Chao said calmly, pushing Wei Lan to sit down on the bamboo bed, "Just wait here, I will try to move the table."

Finally, he was afraid that Wei Lan would be dishonest, so Gu Chao pulled down the switch again before leaving.

There was still a "buzz" sound. Wei Lan shuddered and looked at Gu Chao's back complainingly, her hair almost standing on end.

Gu Chao turned around and disappeared. Wei Lan turned his head and glared at the switch with resentment.

Gu Chao quickly moved the long table and arranged it according to Wei Lan's instructions. He found linen cloth and wiped the dust clean before moving the TV.

　　After plugging in the power strip and turning on the power again, Gu Chao studied how to turn it on. Wei Lan had already flipped through the manual and accurately touched the button on the back of the TV, only to hear a "sting" sound.

The TV screen flickered for a while, accompanied by an endless "sting" sound, and the screen was covered with snowflakes.

Gu Chao and Wei Lan were both stunned. Their heads were leaning against each other, studying the palm-sized instruction manual.

Wei Lan slapped his head and said, "I remembered! There must be an antenna to receive the signal!"

Wei Lan has never experienced this time, but before time travel, I watched TV dramas from the 1970s and 1980s on TV. It was mentioned in the TV series that in this era, a long bamboo pole had to be erected outside the door to receive TV signals. An antenna for receiving signals is tied to the top of the bamboo pole.
