Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 150

Chapter 150: He Will Help Her Achieve It All

After Xu Ting left, Song Chu took the room keys and led the others upstairs.

“Chu Chu, how about we switch to the twelve yuan per day rooms?” Tang Wei suggested.

Tang Youhua added, “Yeah, they seem pretty much the same, but the price difference is three yuan per room per day.”

Three yuan could buy a lot of things, and for three rooms, that’s nine yuan.

Song Chu chuckled, “There’s a big difference. The fifteen yuan rooms have TVs, while the twelve yuan ones don’t. Since we’re here, we should stay in a better place.”

“And don’t feel burdened. Don’t forget I just earned twenty thousand yuan for the farm. This little bit of money is nothing. Besides, once the cooked food processing gets going, the farm will have even more money.”

She understood the mentality of the two, after all, they had been frugal for so many years, asking them to be extravagant would definitely be painful.

But she was different. In the apocalypse, she always enjoyed herself when she could, let alone in the modern era.

“Ah, you mean there are TVs in our rooms?” This time, not only the two were surprised, but Song Lao Si and Song Ping were also startled.

They all knew about televisions, but they had never actually seen one.

“That’s right. Educated Youth Gu and I have to go out to take care of some business in the next two days. If you get bored going out, you can watch TV in your rooms. It’s pretty hot outside anyway,” Song Chu didn’t plan to take them along.

“We can actually watch TV, just thinking about it is exciting,” Tang Youhua and the others were completely captivated by the idea of a television.

Song Lao Si laughed, “Look at how narrow-minded you are. My sister chose the more expensive one, there must be a reason.”

This was exactly what Song Chu had said to his second brother before.

“Besides, you’re not paying, of course, we should enjoy the best,” he added another sentence. He just liked going out with his sister, it was so cool.

Tang Youhua and Tang Wei were a little speechless. This guy really didn’t know the value of money. Fifteen yuan a night!

They weren’t as carefree as Song Lao Si, but they had to admit he had a point.

“Alright, we’ll listen to Chu Chu’s arrangements,” the two felt that they had really broadened their horizons by coming along this time.

Upstairs on the third floor, Song Chu first opened the room for Tang Youhua and Tang Wei, and then walked in.

“Gu, the Academic God, can you teach them how to turn on the TV and change channels?” Song Chu took a look, she had never played with this kind of old antique before.

Gu Yue smiled and walked over, “Sure.”

He had a TV at home before, so he was familiar with its operation.

He taught them how to turn it on and how to change channels.

Watching the TV playing a drama, Tang Youhua and the others were mesmerized.

“So this is what a TV is like, it really can show things like a movie.”

“It’s so magical, how can a big box show people, and they can talk too.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “I can’t explain it clearly to you. You should learn more in the future.”

Even if she explained it, they wouldn’t understand.

Soon, the two were completely absorbed in the drama, watching it intently.

Song Chu wasn’t surprised, after all, it was normal to be fascinated by something new.

Song Lao Si was also hooked, and immediately called Gu Yue, “Quick, quick, let’s go to our room and watch TV.”

“Here are your keys. We’ll head back too. We’ll call you for dinner,” Song Chu handed the keys to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded, “Okay.”

Song Chu also took Song Ping back to her room and turned on the TV.

“Sister Ping, I’m going to take a shower first. You can change channels and watch,” Song Chu said.

Song Ping had already learned when Gu Yue was changing channels earlier. She nodded, “Okay, I’ll try.”

When Song Chu came out after her shower, she saw Song Ping engrossed in watching the drama.

“Is it good?” she asked with a smile while drying her hair.

Song Ping nodded enthusiastically, “It’s good, it feels even better than a movie.”

They showed the same movie many times in their village. She and Li Dong had gone to see it twice.

“We’ll buy a TV in the future too,” Song Chu glanced at it casually and lost interest.

She was used to the big color TVs of the future, so it was hard to get used to this small black and white TV.

After the reform and opening up, she could ask Gu, the Academic God, to improve the telephone and TV, and it would be best if he could also research air conditioners, washing machines, and the like. That would make her life a lot easier.

She especially missed air conditioners, mobile phones, and fully automatic washing machines.

Sigh, thinking about it, she suddenly felt like she was becoming dependent on Gu, the Academic God.

Song Ping now basically idolized Song Chu. If it were anyone else, they would have scoffed. Was a TV that easy to buy?

In this era, buying a TV not only required a ticket but was also in short supply, and the price was high.

“Okay, when you buy one, I’ll come over and watch it with you,” Song Ping, however, felt that if her sister said she would buy a TV, then she definitely could.

Song Chu sat down beside her and smiled, “Not only will I buy one, but you will definitely be able to buy one yourself in the future. When the time comes, buy one and take it back to make Second Uncle and Second Aunt happy.”

Anyway, whenever she had the chance, she planned to buy one first and take it back to make her mom happy.

Song Ping’s eyes softened, “Okay, then I’ll start saving money now to buy one for them in the future.”

She was now living at home, and both her parents and her younger brother and sister-in-law were very good to her. She also wanted to do something to repay them.

If she could buy a TV and take it back in the future, the whole family would be ecstatic. She couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Anyway, if Chu Chu said it could be bought, then it definitely could.

Seeing her like this, Song Chu thought that if she could bring a TV back this time, her mom and dad would also be overjoyed and would have something to brag about again.

Xu Ting seemed to have some influence today, she wondered if she could ask him to help her get a TV.

She’d see when they interacted more.

Although the TV was very attractive, Song Ping soon got up to take a shower. She had also brought a book to read at night, showing her strong self-discipline.

This was something Song Chu admired about her. She set a goal and kept moving forward, learning what she didn’t know.

For dinner, they didn’t go to the state-run restaurant but ate at the hotel’s dining hall.

Here, you could order dishes with money, and the variety was rich, and the taste was quite good.

Song Chu ordered two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and a soup, which satisfied everyone.

“Do you want to go out for a walk?” After finishing the meal and leaving the dining hall, Song Chu asked the others.

If there had been no TV, they would have definitely gone.

But now they were more eager to go back to their rooms and watch TV, “Not today.”

Originally, when Song Lao Si and the other two said they were going back to their rooms, Song Ping was about to offer to accompany Song Chu.

But Gu Yue spoke first, “I’d like to take a walk. I’ll go with you.”

Song Ping immediately smiled and said, “Then you two go for a walk, I’ll go upstairs first too.”

Song Chu laughed, “Looks like the TV has really captivated you all.”

“Alright, then Educated Youth Gu and I will go for a walk to digest our food. You guys go ahead.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the others quickly said goodbye and hurried upstairs.

“You don’t like watching TV?” Gu Yue asked.

Song Chu shrugged, “There’s not much on TV that attracts me now.”

“Gu, the Academic God, you can improve the TV in the future. Now it’s only black and white, you can make it color, and the screen can be bigger too, that way it will be more comfortable to watch,” she said.

Gu Yue nodded with a smile, “Alright, when I have time, I’ll research it.”

As long as it was something Song Xiaochu wanted, he would help her achieve it.
