The next morning, Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong visited several electronics stores in Liuyuan County.
At that time, televisions were considered luxury goods.
Sun Jinzhong bought a twelve-inch Golden Star television for nearly seven hundred yuan.
Chen Hai himself indulged a bit more and bought a fourteen-inch model from the same brand.
He handed out ten banknotes and received two yuan in change.
Although it was painful to spend that much money, Chen Hai was quite happy.
In Chenjiaping Village, there were still less than ten households that owned a television.
Occasionally, Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian, a couple, would find some free time to walk a mile or two to a friend's house to watch their television.
They greatly envied others who had televisions in their homes.
Chen Hai could already imagine the excitement and joy on his parents' faces when they saw the television.
After buying the television, Sun Jinzhong was already happily heading back home to Yanbei Village.
