Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

After discussing the handling fee with Xiao Shan, Li Huaide told Xiao Shan to go about his business.

He did not tell Xiao Shan that he was prepared to accept gifts from leaders of other metallurgical plants.

It seems Li Huaide intends to consume all these gifts himself.

Xiao Shan didn't feel there was anything wrong with this.

He had never intended to accept gifts from other metallurgical plants along with Li Huaide, so Li Huaide keeping them all for himself was exactly what he wanted.

After leaving Li Huaide's office, Xiao Shan opened the envelope and glanced at it.

They discovered that in addition to many industrial tickets, there were also ready-made tickets such as radio tickets, bicycle tickets, and electric fan tickets.

Xiaoshan even saw a TV ticket.

"It seems the higher-ups are quite generous this time!" Xiao Shan thought to himself with a smile.

Xiao Shan had long wanted to buy a television set for his home, but television sets were extremely rare in those days.

If you put one at home, it could very likely cause trouble.

After all, it's still within the last ten years!

Therefore, even though Xiao Shan had enough money and industrial vouchers, he did not buy them.

But it’s different now!

This TV ticket was a reward given to him by the authorities.

Using this to buy a TV is completely different from saving up industrial tickets to buy a TV!

Since this was a reward from above, even if others were envious, they couldn't say much.

After all, the contributions I've made to the factory are clear and undeniable.

Although television sets in Beijing can only receive three channels now, and each channel only broadcasts four or five hours of programming.

But Xiao Shan still decided to buy the TV home. Even if he didn't care for it, he could let his wife and son watch it!

Back in the welding workshop, a coworker looked at the envelope in Xiao Shan's hand and asked curiously, "Director Xiao, what good stuff did the factory manager give you this time?"

"This is a reward that the factory manager applied for from higher-ups!" Xiao Shan said with a smile, "It's a reward for my good performance on the last business trip!"

The curious coworker continued, "Such a thick envelope, there must be a lot of good stuff inside!"

Xiao Shan answered every question immediately: "Of course! This time, the rewards include not only indefinite industrial vouchers, but also vouchers for radios, electric fans, bicycles, and televisions!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the coworkers around him who had been listening intently couldn't help but gasp: "They still have TV drama tickets?"

Xiao Shan nodded to himself as he looked at the shocked expressions on his fellow workers' faces.

It probably won't be long before everyone in the factory knows that the factory has rewarded them with so many vouchers.

When I bring the TV home myself, no one will be surprised.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Xiao Shan sat down at his workstation and began to complete his daily tasks.

After the workers came to their senses, although they wanted to see what the TV plane ticket looked like, they didn't dare to disturb Xiao Shan as he was making the workpiece.

These are all level eight workpieces. If I make a mistake because I disturbed Xiaoshan, it would be a serious matter that could cost me my dinner!

Everyone here is the breadwinner of their own family, so naturally they wouldn't dare joke about work.

When He Yuzhu was getting lunch for Xiao Shan at the cafeteria, he told Xiao Shan to come to the kitchen after he finished eating.

After lunch, Xiao Shan went straight to the kitchen and found He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" Xiao Shan asked curiously, looking at He Yuzhu who seemed a little embarrassed.

He Yuzhu chuckled: "Hehe, Xiaoshan, I heard you were rewarded with a lot of industrial and finished product vouchers this time?"

"Yes, that's right! I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly!" Xiao Shan nodded and said, "Brother Zhu, is there anything you want to say?"

He Yuzhu told Xiao Shan that he was planning to buy a bicycle, but he didn't have a bicycle voucher.

Now that he hears that Xiao Shan has bicycle tickets, he wants to spend money to buy one from Xiao Shan.

After hearing what He Yuzhu had to say, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, with our brotherly relationship, let's not talk about money. I'll give you a bill after get off work!"

"Xiao Shan, then thank you in advance!" Hearing Xiao Shan say this, He Yuzhu naturally didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile.

Watching Xiao Shan leave the kitchen, Ma Hua and the others couldn't help but marvel at how generous Xiao Shan was.

Upon hearing his apprentices say that Xiao Shan was generous, He Yuzhu laughed and said, "You all don't even know what kind of relationship I have with Xiao Shan!"

"Master, I heard that televisions are like movies; you can watch a movie as soon as you turn it on, is that right?" Ma Hua looked at He Yuzhu with a curious expression.

Although He Yuzhu wasn't sure if that was true, he nodded as if he knew: "That should be it!"

"If Director Xiao buys a TV in the future, won't you be able to watch movies at home every day, Master?" Ma Hua said with envy.

“Yeah, if everyone has a TV in the future, won’t Xu Damao from the propaganda department be out of a job?” The fat man looked at He Yuzhu with a fawning expression.

"That's right! We can watch movies at home, why do we need a projectionist?" He Yuzhu snorted. "Let's just fire him!"

The news that Xiao Shan had been rewarded with a TV ticket quickly spread throughout the entire factory.

Ding Qiunan was even surrounded by doctors and nurses.

"Dr. Ding, if you ever get a TV at home, you have to let us be the first to experience it!"

"Yes, yes, Dr. Ding, you have to let us see what a television actually looks like!"

"Dr. Ding, then you can watch movies at home every day!"

……

Surrounded by doctors and nurses, Ding Qiunan was very proud, but she still said modestly, "TVs are so expensive. I only have a ticket now, but I don't know when I'll be able to buy one!"

"No matter how expensive the TV is, it can't compare to your high salaries!" At this moment, a doctor next to Ding Qiunan said enviously.

A nurse nearby immediately chimed in, "That's right, with your combined salaries, even if a TV is expensive, buying one wouldn't be a problem!"

Everyone was particularly interested in television sets.

If Ding Qiunan's family gets a TV by then, they'll have somewhere to watch movies when they want to relax.

Although the steel rolling mill organizes a movie screening for its workers on the playground every month.

But once a month isn't enough!

Since people don't have many other forms of entertainment, this monthly group screening is always packed with people!

If you arrive late and can't get a front-row seat, you'll just have to listen to the sounds.

But if Ding Qiunan's family had a television, things would be different!

I heard that TV allows you to watch movies anytime, anywhere.

"Alright, alright, I promise you, if we buy a TV, we'll definitely invite you over to watch it, okay?" Ding Qiunan smiled and waved to everyone. "Alright, everyone, let's get back to work!"

After hearing Ding Qiunan's assurance, everyone left Ding Qiunan's office satisfied.

After getting off work and returning home, Xiao Shan gave He Yuzhu a bicycle ticket.

After accepting Xiao Shan's bicycle ticket, He Yuzhu clamored to see the TV ticket in Xiao Shan's hand.

Xiao Shan couldn't refuse him, so he had no choice but to take out the TV ticket and give it to him, and let the others in the yard take a look.

After seeing the TV ticket in Xiao Shan's hand, everyone looked on with anticipation.

We are hoping that Xiaoshan can bring the TV back soon.

"Don't get too excited, I heard that TVs in Beijing can only receive three channels now, and they only broadcast for four or five hours a day! So even if movies are shown on TV, it will probably be occasional, and they'll probably all be movies that you've already seen." Xiao Shan gave them a heads-up because they were so excited.

After all, not many people owned television sets at that time, so there were naturally few television stations.

Even though Xiao Shan said that, it couldn't stop everyone's anticipation.

After dinner, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong arrived right on time.

"Xiao Shan, when you go to buy a TV, you must inform us two old men in advance. We absolutely must have a welcoming ceremony!" Yan Bugui said to Xiao Shan with great enthusiasm.

"That's right, that's right, it would be best to also hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony!" Liu Haizhong echoed with a smile.

Hearing Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong's words, Xiao Shan felt that they were exaggerating.

However, seeing that his mother-in-law Feng Chunlian, who was holding Xiao Jingyan, was also nodding in agreement, Xiao Shan could only smile and say, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you are right, I didn't consider this point!"

“Yes, yes, that’s more solemn and formal!” Feng Chunlian nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Shan told Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong that he planned to go to the department store to buy a television set after he received his salary this month.

Soon, amidst everyone's anticipation, the day arrived when the steel mill would pay salaries at the end of the month.

After receiving their wages, Xiao Shan and He Yuzhu headed towards the department store.

He Yuzhu went to the department store, naturally to buy a bicycle.

Xiao Shan drove He Yuzhu to the entrance of the department store. After locking the bicycle securely to the pillar of the bike shed, the two entered the department store.

The department store was packed with people!

After all, today is payday. Everyone has received their wages and coupons, so they have to come to the department store to take home whatever they want!

Xiao Shan first accompanied He Yuzhu to the bicycle shop on the first floor.

He Yuzhu immediately took a liking to a Hongqi brand old-fashioned bicycle, priced at 100 yuan.

After taking it for a test drive, He Yuzhu decided to buy it.

So He Yuzhu took out the money and bicycle ticket he had prepared beforehand and readily bought the bicycle.

If it weren't for the bicycle ticket from Xiaoshan, He Yuzhu would have considered going to Pigeon City to buy some industrial tickets.

After buying the bicycle, He Yuzhu went to a place that sells bicycle locks and bought a sturdy bicycle lock.

At this time, although bicycle tires were locked, these locks could only stop ordinary thieves; they couldn't stop people from taking the bike and lock together.

Therefore, you must get a larger lock so that you can lock the bicycle to the pole on the side of the road.

This is the only way to ensure the bicycle is completely safe.

After all, in that era, bicycles were just like cars in later generations.

After Xiao Shan helped He Yuzhu park and lock the new bicycle in the bike shed, they returned to the department store and went to the second floor to look at home appliances.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xiao Shan immediately spotted the only Beijing-brand television set on the counter.

The price is 600 yuan, and 100 industrial invoices are still needed.

Because there was only one TV set at the entire counter, Xiaoshan had no other choice.

So Xiao Shan went straight to the sales clerk at the counter and said, "Comrade, I want to buy that television set!"

After saying that, Xiao Shan handed the TV ticket and 600 yuan to the salesperson.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the salesperson's first reaction was that Xiao Shan was joking with him.

However, upon seeing the TV ticket and 600 yuan handed over by Xiao Shan, the salesperson knew this was no joke.

"Excuse me, sir, I need to take this TV ticket to the manager for inspection." The sales clerk said to Xiao Shan somewhat apologetically, "Because I've never seen a TV ticket before in all my years working at this department store!"

Seeing the sales clerk's expression, Xiao Shan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

After obtaining Xiao Shan's consent, the sales clerk clutched the TV ticket in her hand and quickly ran upstairs to have the supervisor verify the ticket.

After all, one TV ticket is equivalent to 100 industrial tickets, so we must first verify the authenticity of this ticket.

On the second floor, the director, wearing his reading glasses, examined the TV ticket carefully for a while before nodding and saying, "This is indeed a TV ticket. Go and redeem it for a TV for him!"

"I guess he's some kind of leader! These days, you've probably never seen one of these TV tickets before, I've only ever seen three!" The director handed the TV ticket to the sales clerk and cautioned, "Be careful, don't lose it!"

The sales clerk jogged back to her counter and quickly counted the money.

After issuing the receipt to Xiaoshan, the salesperson took the television's packaging out from under the counter.

After the television was properly packaged, the salesperson carefully handed it over to Xiaoshan.

Xiao Shan, carrying a television set, left the department store with He Yuzhu.
