Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 547 To see who the truly remarkable figures are, look to the present.

As soon as Zhan Yu released the antenna, a chaotic "snow" appeared on the TV screen again. When he moved the antenna back up, a clear picture and sound appeared on the TV screen again.

After this happened several times, everyone found it unbelievable.

"If Zhan Yu really can't do it, bring a piece of chicken from the kitchen and hang it on the antenna so you don't have to hold it with your hands."

After Yunqing finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"My hands are made of human flesh, not chicken. If that doesn't work, I'll cut a piece of flesh from my arm and hang it up."

When Zhan Yu spoke, he made a cutting motion as if he were cutting meat.

"Brother-in-law, this TV antenna isn't a monster. It can't tell human flesh from chicken meat. Don't be ridiculous. Do you even have aluminum wire or a wooden pole at home?"

As Yuncheng spoke, she looked at Zhanyu, who was still fiddling with the TV antenna.

"We can find it in the pile of wood west of the wooden pole house. As for the aluminum wire... I'll have to think about it..."

Zhan Yu paused his hand as he spoke, seemingly lost in thought.

"Zhan Yingying, go to Dazhu's house and see if his brother is the town's electrician. Yesterday, his family installed electricity in the lower room. See if there are any leftover wires or aluminum wires."

After Yunqing finished speaking, Zhan Zixun jumped up excitedly.

Before long, Zhan Yingying indeed obtained aluminum wire from Dazhu's house.

Yuncheng started making the antenna, and Zhanyu found two wooden poles and joined them together. (Because one pole wasn't long enough, it wouldn't be long enough to go over the roof.)

Yuncheng tied the dragonfly-like antenna to a wooden pole and erected it in front of the house.

Yuncheng carefully adjusted the television signal.

"Turn left a bit, turning any more makes me so sleepy. Okay, I have a signal now, turn a little more..."

After some adjustments, the antenna mast was finally secured.

The crowd began to enjoy the television program, their joy beyond words.

Seeing her sister's family so happy, Yuncheng felt as sweet as honey in her heart.

Yuncheng bid farewell to Yunqing, and the siblings said their goodbyes with deep reluctance.

Yunqing watched Yuncheng drive away in his truck, waving continuously until it disappeared from sight, and she was still looking around...

"Yunqing, you have such a good younger brother! He brought you a TV on the first day of the Lunar New Year. You're really something in our village!"

As Grandma Liu spoke, she held her grandson Liu Mingming's hand with one hand and gave Yunqing a thumbs-up with the other. Yunqing only looked away when she heard the voice.

"Aunt Liu, when did you arrive? I was dropping my brother off and didn't even see you. Come inside and watch some TV. My brother always thinks of me, his older sister, whenever he has something good. He's a very sentimental person. He said that when we were little, my father was away in the army, my mother cried until she went blind, and our hometown was flooded. It was so hard for me, his older sister, to take care of two younger brothers and a blind mother. So, no one can compare to how much my brother cares for me."

As Yunqing spoke, she pulled Old Mrs. Liu toward the house.

"Yunqing, you've had a tough life too, but luckily you have a good younger brother who cares about you so much. You've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Our family had a really good New Year, all thanks to you, Yunqing—you helped us with tailoring clothes, writing Spring Festival couplets, painting New Year pictures, and you even gave us such delicious candied hawthorns and such beautiful lanterns. And now we've come to bother your family to watch TV. I really don't know what to say to thank you."

As Mrs. Liu spoke, she showed a grateful expression.

"Aunt Liu, why are you being so polite? Your presence at my house is a great honor for me, Yunqing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that your arrival has brought honor to my humble abode. Who is your Mrs. Liu? She's a well-known and respected figure in the village—a veteran cadre from the land reform era! She's someone who's entitled to government subsidies! I've only helped with so little, and I still feel unworthy to accept your rooster and sugar."

As Yunqing spoke, she revealed an expression of admiration for Old Mrs. Liu.

"Yunyun, stop praising me to the skies. A hero doesn't dwell on past glories; I'm old. 'All that is past; let us look to the present for truly remarkable figures.' Now is the era of you young people!"
