Rebirth in the 1980s: Remarrying the Old Wang Next Door

Chapter 227 Take Advantage

Just do what you say, and the next day happened to be the day for the polder. Wang Guojun and Tian Meng got up early to pack up, had breakfast, took the money, and rode Lao Zhang's ox cart to the town.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. There have been big changes here."

Looking at the town full of high-rise buildings, Tian Mengqing couldn't help but sigh. At first glance, they were all tile-roofed houses, but now, buildings of all sizes are popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

"Yeah, I haven't had time to come here for a long time."

It’s been more than a year since I left. Think about how time flies.

Lao Zhang drove the cattle to a fixed place and tied them up, gave some money to the guards, and then followed Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing to visit the market.

"Are you hungry? I'm going to buy some sesame cakes. The sesame cakes here are delicious. Sometimes when I'm driving and I get hungry, I just eat one. Your grandma likes it too."

Lao Zhang grinned and ran to buy sesame cakes.

Tian Mengqing was still full, but she understood that this was Lao Zhang's intention. If he had something good to share, they should give him this opportunity.

After waiting for a while, Lao Zhang came over with three sesame seed cakes.

"Here, have a taste, it's hot."

Lao Zhang handed the two cakes to Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing, then wrapped the other one and put it carefully into the bag.

"Take this cake back to your grandma."

Tian Mengqing glanced at Wang Guojun and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry. I'll share a piece of cake with Guojun. I'll give this cake to you."

Tian Mengqing handed the sesame cake to Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang declined.

"Why is this? If you don't eat more, it will be hard to take care of the baby."

"Lao Zhang, just eat. If Mengqing says she's not hungry, she really isn't. She won't be polite to you."

Tian Mengqing glanced at Wang Guojun, and then the three of them laughed.

"Lao Zhang, do you know where color TVs are sold?"

"Color TV? You two want to sell color TVs?"

"Well, I think there is nothing to kill time at home. It would be convenient to have a color TV. Usually you and grandma are bored and watch the news or something."

Tian Mengqing answered.

"It costs money to turn on the TV. Your grandma and I don't need that thing. We are content just chatting together and sitting with the old people in the village for a while."

"It's okay, Lao Zhang, a color TV doesn't cost much."

Lao Zhang touched his pocket. Because he didn't know beforehand, he didn't bring that much money.

Tian Mengqing could see what Lao Zhang was thinking.

"Old Zhang, we didn't tell you in advance because we were afraid that you would have to pay. You keep the money you earn and use it when needed. Now that I and the National Army have money, I want to buy a Taiwan with you. Color TV can help you understand the outside world."

Seeing Tian Mengqing's sincere eyes, Lao Zhang didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Later, he took Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun to the place where color TVs were sold. He also secretly looked at the color TV a few times, thinking about buying it back and sitting and watching TV with Liu Meixiang for a while, but he didn't have all his savings. A color TV costs a lot of money.

"Hey, boss, you're here again!"

The owner of the color TV set saw Lao Zhang and joked.

Lao Zhang looked at Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing and smiled awkwardly.

"I'll bring my grandson over to see you."

When the boss saw that Wang Guojun and Tian Mengqing were clean and beautiful, and saw that they came from a wealthy family, he quickly put down what he was doing and joined them enthusiastically, and his attitude towards Lao Zhang changed.

"Two bosses, take a look inside. A new batch of goods has recently arrived, a 21-inch large color TV. The clarity and realism are as if you are standing opposite you."

Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun entered the house, and there were all kinds of TVs in front of them.

Halfway through the visit, Tian Mengqing was attracted by a large color TV.

"Oh, the boss lady has really good eyesight. This TV is a recent model. The bright colors make the characters on the TV more vivid." The owner of the color TV took out the plug-in board and plugged it into the TV for Tian Mengqing and others to experience it.

The moment they opened it, both Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun were shocked. It was indeed clear and the sound played was beautiful.

Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun looked at each other and were both very satisfied.

The owner who sells color TVs has an excellent ability to observe people's emotions. He noticed Wang Guojun's interest in Tian Mengqing, and then gave Tian Mengqing and Wang Guojun a fascinating introduction.

Lao Zhang saw the sign hanging and secretly pulled Wang Guojun outside.

"what happened?"

Lao Zhang looked solemn.

"Guojun, please advise Mengqing, we still won't buy this TV. Have you seen the price? It's four digits. We won't make that much in a few years."

Wang Guojun pursed his lips and smiled, comforting Lao Zhang.

"Don't worry, Mengqing will be measured."

After saying that, Wang Guojun walked into the room and continued to listen to his boss praise his TV with Tian Mengqing.

Lao Zhang shook his head and then followed into the house.

Wang Guojun said nothing the whole time, as long as Tian Mengqing liked it.

After going around in a circle, Tian Mengqing finally bought the 21-inch large color TV for eight hundred yuan.

The boss also gave me an electric fan as a gift.

Lao Zhang's eyes widened and he gave Tian Mengqing a thumbs up. His bargaining ability was outstanding.

Tian Mengqing smiled and put down Lao Zhang's hand.

"Tian Mengqing's family bought a color TV, did you know?"

A group of women washing clothes by the river were discussing.

"These two couples came back from the county town looking very rich."

"I heard that I have recognized a rich godfather."

"I'm not sure whether they recognize each other or are Tian Mengqing's friends. Before we went out, there was no movement in my stomach. But now I have a big belly as soon as I go out."

There are so many people who don't like the good things in others, and those who are white must be called black.

For a time, it was spread in the village that Wang Zeyu was not Wang Guojun's son.

When Tian Mengqing walks on the road, there are always people pointing fingers.

At night, there will still be many people bringing stools to Tian Mengqing's house to watch TV.

That skin is thicker than the calluses on the soles of your feet.

"What should we do? We can't even open the door. People will always say that we are stingy, taking advantage and talking bad about others."

Tian Mengqing began to regret buying a color TV. Her purpose was just to let Lao Zhang and Liu Meixiang have fun in their free time. Who knew that such a large group of people would show up at home on time after dinner with stools.

"Whatever, just watching TV can be considered as helping the elderly in the village in disguise."

"There's nothing wrong with watching TV, but if you go behind our backs and say bad things about us, I just feel uncomfortable."

Tian Mengqing pouted and turned his face away unhappily.

Wang Guojun put his hands on Tian Mengqing's shoulders, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you won't be beautiful when you are angry. As the saying goes, 'If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow.' We are doing well, but we are afraid of what others will say."

Tian Mengqing pouted, "That's the truth, but I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

"Okay, okay, let's go for a walk to calm down."

Wang Guojun took Tian Mengqing out for a walk. A lot of people came to the house, and it was indeed too noisy.
