young friends come to meet

Yin Congnan walked to the middle of the living room, looked back at Ye Kai who was standing at the entrance, and said, "I haven't bought a chair or anything yet, wait a minute, I'll get a glass of water, and I'll go upstairs to talk later."

Ye Kai nodded and watched him enter the kitchen.Looking back, I found that Yin Congnan had placed the basketball on the cabinet on the right, supporting it with a triangular bracket.He picked it up and twirled it in his hand.

Yin Congnan came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, just in time to see him playing ball, he said, "I came back from the game that day, I was exhausted, and I didn't participate in any activities on the second day."

Seeing that his hand was full of water, Ye Kai quickly put the ball back to its original place, took the water glass, and joked, "So personal heroism is not worth it!"

Yin Congnan smiled faintly, and asked again, "Did you buy a new bicycle?" He said while leading Ye Kai to the second floor.

Ye Kai was afraid that the water would overflow, so he took a sip. He shook his head and walked upstairs with Yin Congnan, "It's not mine. I borrowed it from Xiaoren. He bought it new, and I'll lend it to me today."

"You look beautiful on that bike. I saw it when I looked up upstairs."

Ye Kai was a little proud and a little disappointed, but it was a pity that the bicycle was not his own.

"You were with Xiao Ren just now?"

"Yes. He came to my house to watch TV."

Yin Congnan was surprised, "Do you have a TV at home?"

"Yes." Although that beautiful bicycle was not his own, Ye Kai still made up for the fact that there was a TV at home, "It's just a small black and white TV."

Speaking of which, they reached the second floor. There are two rooms on the second floor. Yin Congnan led Ye Kai into the room near the road.

There is only a bookcase, a desk, a chair next to the desk, and a stool by the wall.

"There are only two sitting places in the house. The next room is the bedroom, but I haven't had time to buy a bed yet. How about sleeping on the floor now?"

Ye Kai swayed in front of the desk, looking out from the table in front of the desk, Yin Congnan saw himself from here.He turned around and sat down on the stool against the wall, "Just sit here." Opposite the stool is a bookcase that occupies the entire wall. "Your bookcase is too big. It's the first time I've seen such a big bookcase. It's almost as big as the library."

"This is an old thing from my house, and so is this desk. It may be that the previous unit saw it as useful and continued to use it. They didn't take these old things with them when they moved out, so they just left them for me." Yin Congnan Walking to the bookcase, I looked up at the few books on the shelf.These are all the books he left when he was in college and studying abroad, and the previous books at home were burned and destroyed long ago.Involuntarily, he began to recall, "In the past, the entire bookcase was full, and even the top was piled with books. When I was young, I had to move a stool to stand on it when I was looking for books."

Ye Kai smiled, "Then your house used to be a small library."

Yin Congnan looked back at him and smiled, but his brows were full of loneliness.

Ye Kai recalled the day when he said something wrong.He thought he was upset with Yin Congnan, that's why he only wanted to see him today. If he really minded, then he could apologize according to the situation, or make amends in other ways.But Yin Congnan didn't mind, as if he had forgotten about that matter long ago, and entertained him warmly.Ye Kai immediately felt relieved that they were still good friends.

However, from the moment he entered the door to the expression on Yin Congnan's face now, Ye Kai could clearly perceive that something must have happened to Yin Congnan's family.His family is gone, only this house and some old furniture are left as thoughts.

He was very curious and wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to ask about his family's affairs given their current relationship.

Ye Kai thought to himself, drank water subconsciously, forgot to speak, and suddenly heard Yin Congnan return to his usual tone, "By the way, how did you buy your TV?"

Hearing the topic of interest, Ye Kai raised his head and his eyes lit up.

"You want to know?"

"Of course. Not one of the ten families has a TV. Is it the TV ticket issued by the unit?"

Ye Kai shook his head, showing an uncontrollable proud expression, "Of course not. Is it my turn to send out such an important thing from the unit? I bought it from the second-hand market."

"how much is it?"

"20 dollars."

"It's so cheap!" Yin Congnan's eyes widened in shock.

Ye Kai chuckled, "It cost me an extra five yuan!"

Seeing that Yin Congnan's appetite was whetted, Ye Kai got up and put the water glass on the desk, leaned to the side, and told him the story of how he outwitted the TV set.

That day, Ye Kai rode a tricycle and promised the uncle that he would find a cabinet from the flea market and put it in the kitchen.As a result, when he finished buying the cabinet and was about to leave Shenyang Road, he saw such an old TV on the street.The TV seller said that the TV was broken and he didn't know how to fix it. He bought it for ten yuan and wanted to sell it for fifteen.Ye Kai had only seen TVs in school before, because he didn't major in semiconductors, so he didn't have the chance to touch this thing with his own hands.Ye Kai wanted it very much. If he bought it and it could be repaired, it would be a bargain.But if it can't be repaired, isn't it just spending money to buy a useless iron lump?He thought for a while, and instead of buying a TV, he turned around and bought two packs of cigarettes.

The next day, he took a teacher majoring in semiconductors from a technical school to the flea market.The teacher brought tools, and when he arrived at the booth, he dismantled the TV case.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

The stall owner stretched out his hand to stop the teacher, but Ye Kai stopped the stall owner, "Don't worry, our teacher specializes in TV sets. If this TV set can be repaired, I will give you twenty."

"What if it's broken!"

"You are already broken, you can only repair it, and it can't be repaired again."

The stall owner had no words to refute, so he could only stare at the two people playing with the TV with their buttocks pouted.

"Teacher, how is it?"

"It's so old, a lot of parts are aging, and parts are broken."

"Is there any hope?"

"It should work just fine if you change parts."

Ye Kai graciously passed cigarettes to the teacher, "You have to figure out a way."

These are the cigarettes that Ye Kai specially bought to invite the teacher, and they are all costs.

The teacher took a puff of cigarette and smiled at Ye Kai, "Guess what? I did bring the parts, which were replaced from the teaching machine at school. But they are old too. An old horse needs an old saddle. I'll replace it. See if it works."

Ye Kai laughed excitedly, "Great! I knew you could do it!"

The teacher took two puffs of the cigarette, threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and rummaged into the toolbox.

When the teacher changed parts and repaired the TV, Ye Kai would steal the teacher from the side, asking what it was for a while, and asking what it was for.

"Teacher, you take a break, I will start, you command." He lit a cigarette for the teacher again, and in less than an hour, he even completed the class and practice in one go.

"There, yes, the lid has to be screwed on first."

Ye Kai nodded, and screwed a small cover inside the machine.

"Okay, try plugging it in and see if it lights up."

When the TV was being repaired, many spectators gathered around. Most of them did not own a TV, nor had they watched it with their own eyes.They were all watching and discussing, trying to see if these two men could fix the TV.Following the teacher's order, Ye Kai was asked to plug in the power.The onlookers were all in high spirits, and they seemed to be looking forward to the result even more.

Ye Kai went to a stall owner who sold old radios to connect a power strip, plugged the TV plug into it, and then carefully pressed the switch.

Everyone held their breath at this moment, staring at the small square box and its glass screen.

There was only a slight "bang", and a horizontal light appeared in the middle of the screen.The people around immediately stretched their heads forward.Then, there was another soft "snap".

"It's on!" someone said.

The screen turned on, and Ye Kai squatted in front of the TV, couldn't help laughing, and looked back to see everyone's reactions.

"Why are they all snowflakes?"

Everyone raised doubts.

Ye Kai also looked at the screen, it was all mixed with black and white, it looked like a dusty picture, and the sound was like the noise on the radio.

"The antenna hasn't been erected yet!" The teacher said helplessly.

"Oh oh oh." Ye Kai quickly lifted up the circular antenna.

"Turn the angle."

Listening to the teacher's instructions, Ye Kai turned the antenna nervously, as if the victory or defeat was determined in one fell swoop.

"Wait a minute!" Someone in the crowd said, "It seems that something happened just now."

Ye Kai couldn't see clearly from the side, so he started to turn back again.

"Really!" someone said.

Ye Kai tuned again.

"Stop!" Everyone said in unison this time.Ye Kai quickly stabilized.

He gently stretched his head to the front of the TV. Although the horizontal lines twisted, but...

"Really! Someone is here!" If it wasn't for the antenna holding on now, he really wanted to jump up.

The stall owner was dumbfounded. He watched as the two men repaired a broken iron box into a "television".It turns out that this is the TV, and now they are really "watching TV".

Ye Kai quickly stuffed the other pack of cigarettes into the teacher's hand. The teacher put the cigarettes in his pocket with satisfaction and put away the tools, "That's it. I'm going back to school."

He took out the 20 yuan he had prepared earlier from his trouser pocket and gave it to the stall owner, "Thank you."

Putting the small TV into the bucket of the tricycle, he sat on the seat, kicked his long legs on the ground, and rode away from the crowd.

"I looked back and guess what?"

"how?"

Ye Kai laughed, "The stall owner has been surrounded, and everyone is asking him when he can receive the TV again."

Yin Congnan also laughed, the little bit of sadness just now was gone now.

"You really can think of anything," he said.

Ye Kai talked for a long time, took a sip of water, "What is this, I did a lot of extraordinary things when I was young."

Seeing that the water in his glass had bottomed out, Yin Congnan took the glass and turned around to pour water for him again. Ye Kai was in high spirits, so he grabbed the glass and said, "Have you ever ridden a pig?"

Yin Congnan really got fresher the more he listened, so he didn't care about other things, and the two chatted freely in the study.

From riding a pig when he was a child, pulling Chinese cabbage for his grandfather, to fighting with his own people in the technical school, and how he resisted the squad leader to wear small shoes for him after he came to work in the factory, he almost explained his entire life to Yin Congnan.

And as sensitive as Yin Congnan, he also caught one point early. Ye Kai never mentioned his parents.It was Ye Kai's uncle and aunt who took the place of his parents.Yin Congnan, who is equally sensitive, also appropriately did not mention this issue.In fact, he also knew that Ye Kai also intentionally avoided being curious about his family.

This is a kind of tacit understanding between the two, and it is also a kind of mutual consideration.

"What are you writing?" Ye Kai has been leaning on Yin Congnan's desk, he has long noticed Yin Congnan's half-written manuscript on the desk.The handsome font reminded him of the instructions that Yin Congnan had personally written for his little invention.

"Oh," Yin Congnan walked over, looking at what he wrote with some embarrassment, "It's the aftermath of the military parade. Isn't it allowed to write in the factory?"

"In the factory today, only party members were organized to watch together. Those of us who have not joined the party can only watch at home."

Yin Congnan nodded, then remembered something, and asked him, "Isn't Xiaoren with you today? Why did you come to me suddenly?"

Ye Kai was stunned, he really didn't have a reason ready, he rushed over as soon as his brain got hot, and being asked such a question, he had to use his brain with all his strength.Fortunately, he responded quickly and said, "I told you to go play together on the weekend."

"Okay."

As soon as Yin Congnan agreed, Ye Kai realized that he agreed to Ren Haoguang this weekend.
