Chapter 211 Yan Bugui's Plan
Yi Zhonghai returned to his home angrily. Jia Zhang, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua looked at Yi Zhonghai's angry figure and sighed in disappointment.

"Grandma, why does Li Shengli's family have such a bad relationship with our family?" Huaihua thought about it and realized that she had never seen Li Shengli's family talk to her family.

"Well." Jia Zhang began to talk about this and that.

Huaihua was about to ask more when Xiaodang pulled her back. Huaihua looked at Xiaodang strangely, and Xiaodang quietly approached Huaihua and said, "Don't you think about your grandma's mouth?"

Huaihua suddenly realized.

After Li Shengli bought the first TV in the courtyard, Xu Damao quickly bought the second one. However, this one did not cause much stir, as Xu Damao was not popular in this courtyard.

Seeing that Xu Damao also bought a TV, Yan Bugui could no longer sit still. He went to Li Shengli's house and watched TV for two days, but Li Shengli didn't allow him to watch TV anymore, saying that it affected their family's life.

Yan Bugui also understood Li Shengli. If he had a TV, he would not let others watch it. What's more, Li Shengli did not charge any money.

So Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and bought one with great reluctance, but he bought the smallest nine-inch one.

When Li Shengli saw that Yan Bugui bought a TV, he couldn't help but go over and joke with him. It could be said that Yan Bugui knows how to live, because you see Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong in the courtyard didn't buy a TV.

"Teacher Yan, if you turn on the TV like this, charge five cents for each person who comes, and provide some peanuts, melon seeds, tea or something, it will be more lively here than during the Chinese New Year." Li Shengli gave Yan Bugui a bad idea.

"Old Yan, you're right, what Li Shengli said is quite right." After Li Shengli's aunt thought about it, she said to Yan Bugui.

"That's right. If this person comes, will you let him see it or not?" Yan Bugui also nodded. He had just bought a TV and was so happy that he almost forgot about this.

"Dad, you bought a TV too." Yan Jiecheng pushed the door open and walked in with a happy face.

"I bought it, right?" Yan Bugui gestured to Yan Jiecheng to look at the brand new TV on the table.

"Dad, open it and take a look." Yan Jiecheng excitedly gestured to Yan Bugui.

"The antenna isn't even installed yet, what are you looking at?" Yan Bugui signaled at Yan Jiecheng with his eyes.

"Oh, so you are waiting for me to come back to install the antenna for you." Yan Jiecheng finally understood. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch TV, but that he was waiting for him to work.

"Then do you want to take a look?" Yan Bugui was not in a hurry. He sat down on a chair beside the table calmly.

"Look! I'll install it for you right away." Yan Jiecheng responded in a heavy tone. No matter how scheming this man is, he is still his father, Yan Jiecheng said silently in his heart.

Yan Jiecheng turned around and walked out of the house, picked up his own shovel, dug a hole next to Yan Bugui's house, and then inserted the wooden pole with the antenna on it. He picked up the shovel and began to bury the wood.

"Hey, Jiecheng, you're helping your dad with work." Li Shengli drove Old Lady Han back to the courtyard and saw Yan Jiecheng erecting an antenna pole for Yan Bugui, so he smiled and joked.

"Well, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't for watching TV." Yan Jiecheng said somewhat helplessly. "Then you take your time, I have to settle my old lady." Li Shengli just said hello to Yan Jiecheng.

Something big is about to happen. My house is built very solidly. Besides, it is not easy for the old lady to move around alone. I hope nothing serious will happen.

"Wait a minute, Shengli, why don't you let people come to your house to watch TV, at least you can charge them some money." Yan Jiecheng was a little confused. Logically speaking, five cents per person means fifty cents for ten people. There are more than a hundred people in the compound, even if not all of them come to watch TV, he should make at least one dollar a day. The TV will almost pay for itself in a year. Why wouldn't Li Shengli do such a good deal?

"What nonsense are you talking about? My family won't be able to make ends meet." Li Shengli looked at Yan Jiecheng as if he was a fool. "Besides, my family is not short of money."

Yan Jiecheng was speechless. If it were his father, he would definitely accept the money.

"Dad, are you planning to charge people to watch TV?" After Yan Jiecheng finished his work, he thought more and more that something was wrong. If he could think of it, how could his dad not think of it?

"Of course. It'll be five cents per person, and the TV will pay for itself in less than a year." Yan Bugui was not embarrassed at all. People from other compounds all did the same thing.

I really guessed it right.

"But I plan to provide some peanuts and melon seeds while watching TV, and I'll charge 10 cents per person." Yan Bugui began to calculate in his mind.

"Dad, you're really good." Yan Jiecheng was a little speechless. "By the way, Yu Li and I wonder if you're going to charge money too."

"Of course I will. I am a fair man who never cheats anyone, no matter who they are." Yan Bugui thought to himself, what are you talking about? When have I ever not charged money?

"Okay, then my work is in vain." Yan Jiecheng was used to it after hearing this, so he turned around and left, and he didn't plan to stay here any longer.

It didn't take long before the news that Yan Bugui bought a TV and charged people to watch TV at his home spread throughout the yard. Except for a few children who were clamoring to watch TV, no one else paid any attention to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui's charges were too unreasonable. If there were many people, they would lose a pound of meat every time they watched TV.

Yan Bugui was still wondering why this person didn't come to his house to watch TV, even though he had already brought out tea and peanuts and sunflower seeds that he himself was reluctant to eat.

"Hey, Old Ma, why don't you come and watch TV." Just then, Ma Jianshe's father from the front yard walked in from the gate, and Yan Bugui greeted him hurriedly when he saw him.

"Uncle, it's not that we don't want to watch it, we just look down on it." Father Ma shook his head. Even if he wanted to watch TV, couldn't he go to Li Shengli's house? Although Li Shengli would chase people away, he had to watch the time if he had some sense. Besides, a nine-inch TV was not as comfortable to watch as a twelve-inch one.

"It's not expensive. It's only five cents per person without peanuts or melon seeds." Yan Bugui was not happy. You can say that he is stingy, but you can't say that he calculated incorrectly.

"Uncle, please don't embarrass my dad." Ma Jianshe walked out of the house. "We have seen it at Li Shengli's house before. We are not so curious now. Besides, this little money is enough for us to buy more fine grains."

Ma Jianshe expressed what most people are thinking. Wouldn't it be better to spend a dime on a ticket to watch a movie? There is no need to watch that tiny nine-inch screen.

Yan Bugui was speechless now. His plan to make money had gone down the drain. Yan Bugui shook his head. These people really didn't know what was good for them. Forget it. Just let him watch for himself.
