As a transmigrator and a system, He Yuzhu had thought of changing this era more than once.

Of course, He Yuzhu did not want to enter politics. He just wanted to help the country.

Life was already very hard now, and it would be even harder in a few years. As long as people experienced this era, they would almost develop a good habit. They would hide if they had food, and they would not bear to eat it.

Before he transmigrated, He Yuzhu still did not understand the old people in the countryside. However, after transmigrating to the 1950s for less than a year, he understood.

Some things could only be truly understood after experiencing them.

Being a chef was also very good. As the saying went, a craftsman would not starve to death in a year of famine. Among them, being a chef was the most popular.

Moreover, it was bound to the Master Chef System.

A chef buying a television would definitely attract a lot of attention. The higher-ups would also pay more attention, but He Yuzhu did not care.

"The price of a television is not cheap.”The big leader said.

Obviously, the leader did not approve of He Yuzhu buying a television because it was too expensive.

It was good to have money to buy more food.

However, there was a fixed amount of food. If one had a lot of money, it was not a big deal to buy a television.

In the 1950s, no one in the working class could afford a television. It was not only a matter of money, but also a matter of television tickets. If He Yuzhu really bought a television, he would probably be the first one.

In the 1960s, there should be a small number of working class people who could buy televisions, but there would definitely be very few of them. In the 1970s, there would be many.

If He Yuzhu had waited until the 1970s to buy a television, it would not have been a problem. It would not have been a problem in the 1960s either, but now it was the 1950s.

If he didn't have the help of the higher-ups, He Yuzhu would be in big trouble buying a television.

With the help of the big leader, there would still be trouble, but it would be small trouble.

"I still have some money at home." He Yuzhu smiled.

As long as he continued to be a chef, He Yuzhu did not need to worry.

Anyway, He Yuzhu would not enter politics or join the army, so he would not have access to state secrets.

In this era, most people were still relatively simple and honest. Although the higher-ups did not believe He Yuzhu's godly doctor 100%, they still believed most of it.

When the system upgraded, there would be a spiritual spring in the system space. At that time, the leader would believe it even more if he took out some spiritual water.

However, it was best not to put everything in the System Space. He had to put some at home too.

Perhaps He Yuzhu had been careless, but there was no hurry now. He could take it one step at a time.

It was not easy to have some influence without coming into contact with state secrets or changing careers. It was necessary to do something.

After that, the leader talked to He Yuzhu for a long time and asked him many questions. He was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's questions.

……

He walked out of the big leader's house and stood in the car to return to the courtyard house.

In the middle of the night, He Yuzhu had a discussion with Qin Huairu.

Buying a television was such a big deal, so he had to tell Qin Huairu first.

"What is it? The big leader gave you a TV ticket?”Qin Huairu was very surprised.

A bicycle ticket was very precious. It was usually sold for dozens of yuan in Pigeon Market, and sometimes it could even be bought for 100 yuan.

And a television ticket was even rarer than a bicycle ticket.

Normally, you wouldn't be able to buy television tickets in Pigeon City.

A TV ticket to Pigeon City would cost at least 300 yuan.

After the shock, Qin Huairu was also worried.

This was equivalent to a few hundred yuan from the higher-ups. Naturally, Qin Huiru was not at ease.

"Don't think too much about it. The big leader won't keep this a secret either. There are some things that I can't tell you.”

Qin Huairu was relieved to hear He Yuzhu's words.

The big leader did not keep it a secret. This was open and aboveboard. Naturally, there would not be any problems.

Although she was still a little curious, Qin Huairu was smart enough not to ask.

"Now that we have a TV ticket, do you think we should buy a TV?”He Yuzhu asked.

Qin Huairu thought seriously.

A television set was not cheap, but Qin Huairu could buy it with a portion of her private savings. However, buying a television set was too high-profile, and it would definitely arouse the envy of many people in the quad.

"You're the head of the family. I'll listen to you.”Qin Huairu said.

After all, a television was a family asset. Hence, Qin Huairu did not object to He Yuzhu buying it.

"The big leader has already given me a TV ticket. Are you going to sell it? Or had it been left there all along? It was better to buy a television! When I go to work in the future, you can watch TV when you're bored at home.”

……

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu went to work at the factory. Qin Huairu also left the house. She went to the shopping mall that sold televisions.

Currently, only the big shopping malls in City 49 sold televisions. There were no televisions in the other cities.

In other words, if he wanted to buy a television, he had to come to the capital.

There were quite a number of rich people in Beijing, but the number of customers in the shopping malls was still very small.

In the 1950s, televisions were definitely a luxury, not only in China, but also in other countries.

Televisions first appeared in the West in the 1930s. In the 1940s, only a few people in the West had a television. Now, in the 1950s, two-thirds of the families in America had a television.

There were too few televisions in the country. There were very few televisions in Beijing, and even fewer in other cities.

In China, black and white television was the norm. As for color televisions, they had been around since the 1940s in the West, but in China, it would probably be the 1970s, which was about 30 years behind.

He Yuzhu did not understand the many aspects involved in TV sets, but perhaps the system would reward him with the technology of color TV sets one day. At that time, he could help the country manufacture color TV sets in advance.

For the country, if they could lead the West in television technology, there would be many benefits.

Another day passed.

Qin Huairu was waiting for He Yuzhu outside the steel mill. When He Yuzhu got off work, the two of them rode their bicycles to the shopping mall to buy a television.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's emotions were still considered calm, but Qin Huairu's heart was not.

Buying a bicycle at home could make Qin Huiru excited for a few days, let alone buying a television.

In the big shopping mall, when He Yuzhu gave the tickets and money and confirmed that she wanted to buy a television, everyone's eyes focused on her.

Shock, envy, jealousy…

The television was relatively heavy, so he tied it to the back seat of the bicycle with a rope.

He Yuzhu rode the bike while Qin Huiru sat sideways on the front seat. Although it was uncomfortable, she could only endure it.

Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention.

When they arrived at the courtyard house, it caused a commotion.

"What is it? Silly Zhu bought a TV?"

"Are you sure?"

"Even the director of the factory doesn't have a television! There's actually a pillar."

"Where did he get the TV tickets?"

"A TV set costs a few hundred yuan! Silly Zhu is really willing!"

……

When He Yuzhu returned home with the television that had not been unwrapped, He Yushui could not believe it either. Then, he became extremely excited.

First uncle, first aunt, second uncle, second aunt…

A large group of people came to watch the television.
