However, as time went by, Tang Li gradually found himself in a problem: the electricity and maintenance costs of the TV set began to become too much for him. In order to allow his neighbors to watch TV every day, Tang Li turned on the TV almost every day, which made the already poor family's financial situation even more strained.

That night, Tang Li gathered everyone together to discuss this issue.

"Everyone, I have something to tell you." Tang Li said seriously.

Qin Huairu saw Tang Li's expression and asked with concern: "Tang Li, is there something wrong with the TV?"

Tang Li shook his head. "It's not that the TV has a problem. This TV and the antenna are both quite expensive, and the electricity bill is not small if the TV is on every day. I wanted to let everyone enjoy it, but our family's finances have been a little tight lately, and I really can't afford it."

Liu Haizhong frowned, "Tang Li, do you want us to pay for every TV show?"

Tang Li nodded. "Yes, I think we can charge a symbolic 20 cents every time each person watches TV, which can help to subsidize the electricity bill. Actually, if you calculate it this way, I will still lose money, but at least it can reduce the burden a little."

As soon as the words fell, the yard suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Jia Dong Tang Li was the first to break the silence. "Tang Li, I understand your difficulties, but you also know that everyone in our compound has a hard time. Although two cents is not much, it will add up if you see it every day for a long time."

Qin Huairu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Tang Li, I know it's not easy for you, but you have to understand us. Some people really can't afford these two cents."

Tang Li sighed, "I understand everyone's difficulties, so I don't plan to charge that much money. I just charge a symbolic amount, and everyone can take turns to pay the electricity bill, so the burden will not be so heavy."

Yan Bugui thought for a while and said, "Tang Li, your suggestion is not unreasonable, but it is also difficult to implement. How about this, each of us takes turns to pay the electricity bill every month, so that everyone can share the burden and it won't be a burden."

Tang Li nodded. "This is a good idea. What do you think?"

Everyone agreed. Jia Dong Tang Li added, "Taking turns to pay the electricity bill is fair and reasonable, and it can also solve Tang Li's difficulties."

Qin Huairu continued, "Then it's settled. Starting next month, each household will take turns paying the electricity bill every month."

Tang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you all for your understanding and support."

Since then, the atmosphere in the courtyard has remained harmonious. Every night, everyone still gathers in Tang Li's room to watch TV and chat. Although the family whose turn it is to pay the electricity bill every month will be a little nervous, everyone understands that this is for common entertainment and harmony among neighbors.

One night, a wonderful movie was playing on TV. Everyone was fascinated by it when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Tang Li got up to open the door and saw Yan Jiecheng standing at the door, looking a little panicked.

"Uncle Yan, what's wrong?" Tang Li asked with concern.

Tang Li thought of an idea. He asked everyone to take out their corn flour and surplus grain. After all, his family didn't have much food left. If they wanted to watch TV, they had to exchange food.

In the night of the old city, the cool breeze blew through the courtyard, and the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a faint halo. Tang Li returned to the house, thinking about a problem again and again in his mind: how to solve the problem of electricity bills for the TV and the increasingly tight family finances. Although the neighbors took turns to pay the electricity bill every month, they always felt that this was not a long-term solution.

Early in the morning, Tang Li was repairing the radio in the yard, thinking of a new idea. Just after tuning the channel, he heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the door. Sure enough, Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong walked into the yard one after the other.

"Good morning, Tang Li!" Qin Huairu greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Sister Qin, Brother Liu." Tang Li responded with a smile, "What's up?"

"Actually, it's nothing big. I just want to see what good shows are on tonight." Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

Tang Li nodded, and suddenly thought of the idea from last night, so he said, "By the way, Sister Qin, Brother Liu, I have a new idea that I want to discuss with you all."

"What idea?" Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

"It's like this. Although we have solved the problem of electricity bills for our TV, food has been a bit tight at home recently. I was thinking that if everyone could take out the corn flour and surplus grain at home, we could exchange these grains for the opportunity to watch TV, so that everyone can benefit." Tang Li said tentatively.

Qin Huairu frowned, "This... although it sounds good, will everyone be willing to do it?"

Liu Haizhong nodded, "Yes, Tang Li, we need to discuss this carefully. After all, food is also a scarce commodity."

Tang Li understood their concerns and nodded, "I know your difficulties, so I want to discuss a solution with you to have the best of both worlds."

Therefore, Tang Li decided to hold a small meeting before the movie in the evening to discuss this new proposal with everyone.

In the evening, the courtyard was full of people, all waiting for Tang Li's announcement. Tang Li stood next to the TV, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, I have a new proposal today, and I want to discuss it with you."

Qin Huairu took the initiative to step forward and said, "It's like this. Tang Li feels that although the electricity bill problem has been solved, his family's food is a bit tight. He was thinking whether everyone could use corn flour and surplus food in exchange for the opportunity to watch TV."

The yard was silent, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal. Finally, Liu Haizhong spoke up, "Tang Li, your idea sounds good, but we also have to consider the actual situation of each family. After all, food is not like electricity bills, it is a necessity for everyone's life."

Jiadong Tang Li also nodded, "Yes, Tang Li, we can understand your difficulties, but the issue of food still needs to be discussed carefully."

Tang Li nodded. "I know everyone's difficulties, so I want to listen to everyone's opinions and see if we can find a solution that everyone can accept."

At this time, Banggeng's mother Jia Zhang spoke up, "Tang Li, we understand your difficulties. After all, you are so kind to let everyone watch TV for free, and we can't let you suffer all the time. How about each family take out a portion of the surplus grain every month, and everyone takes turns, so that the burden can be shared equally."

Qin Huairu also agreed, "Yes, Jia Zhang is right. If each family contributes a portion of their surplus grain every month, then everyone's burden will not be too heavy."

Yan Bugui added, "And it can be adjusted according to the actual situation of each family. Those with more can contribute more, and those with less can contribute less. This is also fair."

Tang Li was moved by the neighbors' care and support. He nodded and said, "How about this? Each family will donate a portion of their surplus food every month, and we can solve this problem together. We will discuss the specific amount and method in detail."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After some discussion, they decided that each family would take out a portion of corn flour and surplus grain every month, which would be kept and distributed by Tang Li to pay for electricity bills and subsidize household expenses.

Since then, life in the courtyard has become more harmonious. Every night, everyone still gathers in Tang Li's room to watch TV, chat, and share each other's lives.

I also learned a lot of new knowledge in the process.

Yi Zhonghai actually reported that Tang Li's TV was smuggled, and relevant staff came to investigate. This move caused dissatisfaction among many people.

In this bustling compound in Sijiu City, Tang Li's TV became the center of entertainment for everyone. Every night, everyone would gather together to watch the show, and laughter and joy filled the entire yard. However, just as everyone was enjoying this rare happiness, an unexpected storm quietly arrived.

That morning, Tang Li was repairing his beloved TV in the yard. Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai came over with a gloomy look on his face.

"Tang Li, I heard that your TV was smuggled?" Yi Zhonghai asked indifferently.

Tang Li was stunned, and a little uneasy rose in his heart, but he tried to remain calm, "Uncle Yi, where do you get this from? I bought my TV in the market, how could it be smuggled?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, "Humph, some things can't be changed just by saying they are not. You'd better take care of yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai turned and left, leaving Tang Li with a puzzled look on his face. Tang Li felt something was wrong, and Yi Zhonghai's attitude made him feel a little chilly.

Sure enough, a few days later, the staff of the relevant departments came to the compound. A middle-aged man in uniform walked into the yard, and everyone gathered around him.

"Comrade, may I ask what I can do for you?" Qin Huairu saw this and hurried forward to ask.

The middle-aged man said seriously, "We have received a report that someone here is illegally holding smuggled TV sets. Please cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned. Qin Huairu's face changed and she looked at Tang Li, "Tang Li, what's going on?"

Tang Li's heart sank, but he said calmly: "Comrade, my TV was absolutely purchased legally, there is no problem. You can check it at will."

The staff member nodded. "We will check carefully. If there is no problem, we will naturally clear your name."

After that, the staff began to carefully check Tang Li's TV. Everyone watched nervously, and there was silence in the yard, as if even the air had frozen.

After a while, the inspection results came out. The middle-aged man frowned, turned around and said to Tang Li, "There is indeed something wrong with this TV. The model and batch number are wrong. It should be smuggled."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Liu Haizhong frowned, "This is impossible. How could Tang Li buy smuggled goods?"

Qin Huairu was also anxious, "Tang Li, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"
