Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

That night, the TV was on until 10 o'clock.

Of course, this is not everyone's conscious decision, but because the TV station has stopped broadcasting for a break, so it is a helpless move.

Before leaving, the Sun Dajiang brothers agreed to come back after dinner tomorrow night.

For this reason, Sun Zhengguo could only shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking that maybe things would get better after a few days when the novelty wore off.

……

The next morning, Sun Zhengguo even taught his grandfather how to turn on the TV before going to work...

"Okay, that's all for today, meeting adjourned!"

In the institute's conference room, several standing committee members finished their routine Monday meeting and then went to their offices.

Lee Seung-ri, who was at the end of the group, remembered the TV he bought yesterday morning and caught up with Sun Jung-guk.

"Director Sun, did you go buy a TV yesterday?"

"Yes, I bought it! Is there any problem?" Sun Zhengguo stopped, turned around and asked back.

"Oh! It's like this. When I bought the TV, it didn't say there was an outdoor antenna. It cost me a full 108 yuan. Tell me, what's wrong with that?"

Seeing Lee Seung-ri's distressed look, Sun Zhengguo knew that he was paying the IQ tax, so he asked weakly.

"So how did it work?"

When asked this by Sun Zhengguo, Li Shengli was stunned.

"Why? From the sound of your voice, I can tell you didn't buy it."

"Hahaha!"

Sun Zhengguo laughed, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the office.

“Did I buy the wrong one?”

Looking at Sun Zhengguo's receding back, Li Shengli became more and more suspicious that he had spent his money on the wrong thing.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Shengli finished his work and unknowingly thought about the antenna again.

Although his salary was not bad, the 108 yuan he spent was half a month's salary. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad.

"No, I must ask clearly."

Thinking of this, Li Shengli tidied up the desk, stood up and walked towards Sun Zhengguo's office.

Sun Zhengguo had already finished his work at this time. He was holding a piece of paper, writing and drawing on it.

If someone from the 1980s or 1990s stood here and saw what was drawn on the paper, he would recognize it at a glance: this is the outdoor antenna for a TV!

However, if the antenna drawn by Sun Zhengguo is made, I wonder how much better it will be than the ones sold in the store. It can be said to be a far superior product.

"Director Sun, I hope I didn't disturb you!"

Seeing Li Shengli come in, Sun Zhengguo stopped writing, shook his head and smiled.

"Old Li, you haven't given up on the antenna issue yet, right?"

Li Shengli was also speechless. Isn't this a question that he asks even though he already knows the answer?

But now he was asking for help, so he had to keep a proper attitude, and then he could only smile along.

"Director Sun, you left half your words unsaid this morning. I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. Isn't this why I came here to ask you for advice?"

"No hurry, take a look at this first."

Seeing Sun Zhengguo handing him a piece of paper, Li Shengli was confused, but still reached out to take it and took a look.

"What is drawn on it? Why does it look so familiar?" Li Shengli looked at Sun Zhengguo in confusion.

Sun Zhengguo didn't plan to play any tricks and just blurted out the answer.

"Lao Li, this is the diagram of an outdoor TV antenna. I'm going to make one myself. As for the effect? ​​It will definitely not be worse than the one you bought."

"Do it yourself?" Li Shengli didn't expect that there was such an operation.

But then I thought again, Sun Zhengguo is a senior engineer after all, so he should be somewhat confident.

"Director Sun, what about the cost?"

“It should be less than 10 yuan!”

Oh well! Hearing this price, Li Shengli was completely numb. Isn't this just a rip-off?

After some final consideration, he chose to believe Sun Zhengguo and said.

"Director Sun, if you don't want to bother me, just help me make one while you're at it."

"Why do you want that? Didn't you buy it? Can you return it?" Sun Zhengguo was really confused.

You have to know that this is the planned economy era, and there is no such thing as returns.

"Don't worry, Director Sun. My cousin is a cadre there. It's just a matter of a word."

"Okay, okay! I'll go find some materials and ask the workers to help. I'll also get a pack of cigarettes for them. You have to pay for them."

"Okay! It's settled."

Li Shengli happily agreed to this, then took out 10 yuan, returned to the office and got a box of Mudan cigarettes, which was considered a successful reservation...

Time quickly came to noon. After hurriedly finishing his lunch, Li Shengli went to return the goods.

Sun Zhengguo also collected materials from the two units, and during the lunch break, he asked Master Geng to help him make some small parts, and then prepared to install them himself.

"Director Sun, I have finished processing the gadgets you requested. Please take a look and see if they are suitable."

"Master Geng, I believe in your skills. I don't need to look at it. I'm really sorry to bother you for so long. You can have this box of cigarettes."

Seeing Sun Zhengguo handing over a box of peonies, Master Geng refused to take it.

"No, no, Director Sun, you respect me by coming to me. How can I take your things?"

"Master Geng, don't refuse. I didn't pay for the cigarettes. You can go and thank Deputy Secretary Li later!"

Having said that, Sun Zhengguo threw away his cigarette, picked up the processed items, and returned to the office.

After returning, after a period of assembly, the two outdoor antennas were already in shape. Then Sun Zhengguo connected the wires, and it was officially completed.

"That's what it's like!"

Seeing his masterpiece, Sun Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction.

I've already calculated in my mind that I don't know how many channels I can search after installing this thing.

At this time, Li Shengli also came back from the department store. He was in a good mood because he returned the goods.

Then he came to Sun Zhengguo's office and saw the finished product on the table.

"Wow! Director Sun, you're really quick! You finished it so quickly, not bad, not bad. This looks much better than the one I bought."

"Old Li! I'm not exaggerating. If you install this wire I made, I guarantee you will be the coolest person in your entire corridor."

"Hahaha! Really? Then I'll wait and see." Lee Seung-ri also smiled happily.

Think about it, I saved so much money today, I wonder how my wife will reward me when I get home!

"Oh! By the way, Lao Li, you gave him 10 yuan and didn't spend it all. There's 2 yuan left. Here it is."

As he said that, Sun Zhengguo took out the remaining money and handed it to Li Shengli.

Lee Seung-ri didn't expect that there was still some money left.

"Thank you then."

Knowing that Sun Zhengguo would not accept it, Li Shengli took the money after saying thank you.

Next, he asked how to install the antenna when he returned home.

But this thing is very simple. Sun Zhengguo just explained it briefly and Li Shengli already knew how to install it.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you very much!"

Amidst a wave of thanks, Li Shengli took the wire and left the office contentedly.
