after eating.
The three then went to the Pearl Department Store.
This place is arguably the most bustling and vibrant shopping paradise in the entire county.
"My goodness!"
"They sell so many things here—"
Fang Qiang was somewhat taken aback.
This was also his first time visiting a department store.
That was truly an eye-opening experience!
The entire department store was filled with old-fashioned glass display cases and shelves showcasing various goods, with each area selling different items.
The salesperson was dressed neatly and cleanly.
.
For people in rural areas.
That's definitely a bit of a misunderstanding!
"This is nothing—"
"The department stores in big cities are the real shopping malls; compared to them, this place is nothing but a drop in the ocean."
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
In later times, large shopping malls were everywhere, forming integrated complexes for eating, drinking, playing, shopping, and leisure.
In his eyes, the Pearl Department Store was practically just like a supermarket or market.
Every era has its limitations.
Even people from this era would find it quite impressive, much like the first time they used a mobile phone – it was incredibly awe-inspiring.
and so.
I can understand my childhood friend's feelings.
"Brother Hao."
"How do you know so much if you've never been to a big city?"
Fang Qiang asked with some doubt.
My friend described it as if he had actually been there.
They talk a good game!
As far as he knew, Fang Hao had probably never traveled far from home, let alone to Kyoto in the north.
That's the national capital, known to everyone.

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right? You can learn about it from TV; the outside world must be much more prosperous and bustling—"
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
Some things are hard to explain.
Whether in the past or the future.
Kyoto and Shanghai are both major megacities in China, and their development levels are naturally among the highest and best.
"Let's just wander around for a bit."
"Let's see what we need to buy—"
Fang Hao then changed the subject.
I'm getting ready to browse around the department store.
Let's see if there's anything we can buy to take back with us.
After all, I still have more than 10,000 yuan in my pocket, so I can still indulge myself a little.
"Brother Hao!"
"They sell televisions over there!"
I've only been browsing for a short while.
Fang Qiang exclaimed in surprise.
The area where home appliances are sold comes into view.
The shelves were filled with televisions, and the images playing on them were so captivating that people stopped to look.
These days, home appliances are considered luxury items, and they absolutely occupy the central position for display and sales.
In 1990.
In the rural areas of southern Guangxi.
Color televisions were a rarity.
Having a television in your home is something that everyone envies.
Nowadays, only a handful of households out of the one or two hundred in Fangzhuang own a television.
Let's go!
"Let's go take a look."
Fang Hao nodded and said.
I was originally planning to buy something.
Now I finally have some ideas in my mind.
Buy a TV!
This is good stuff!
That was true, at least in the 1990s.
Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony televisions, and the like are items that only wealthy families can afford.
of course!
There are also many domestic brands to choose from.
It's just that foreign brands are relatively reliable in quality; these days, domestic technology really can't compare to theirs.
The gap was gradually narrowed only after rapid development.
The development of any technology or industry requires a process of accumulation and eventual breakthrough.
"Brother Hao!"
"The picture on this TV is so clear and beautiful!"
"Only the village chief's family has a black and white television set, and he cherishes it dearly."
Looking at the dazzling array of television sets in front of me.
Fang Qiang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The price of a color television set might require a family to earn for one or two years, and many people are reluctant to buy it.
It still feels a bit too extravagant!
".——
Fang Hao stared at the television, somewhat lost in thought.
Suddenly, I felt like I was in another world.
These old antiques would be unwanted even if they were considered garbage in future generations; even the LCD screens that are tens or hundreds of inches in size would be ignored.
Because televisions are gradually becoming obsolete.
However, these days they are a luxury that every household dreams of. I didn't see Fang Qiang getting so excited when he saw these TVs that he almost danced with joy.
"Wife!"
"How about we buy a color TV?"
Fang Hao then turned to Song Yaxin and said.
The other party had previously mentioned wanting to buy a radio cassette player to listen to radio and music channels.
Let's just get it done in one go.
They got a color TV right away!
The nights won't be so boring anymore.
It's important to know that the 1990s were a golden age for the booming development of TV dramas, and this year alone, many hit TV dramas have been broadcast.
There is a television set.
There are more ways to entertain at home.
At least my wife and parents can watch TV series to pass the time when they're bored.
"what?"
"This is too expensive—"
Song Yaxin was also startled.
Then he waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.
A television set is not cheap.
Black and white motors cost a few hundred yuan.
As for color TVs, they start at one or two thousand.
Not many rural families are willing to spend that much money to buy a color television.
"The price is a bit high!"
"But life is about enjoying it. We sold over ten thousand yuan worth of gold pearls today, and with our existing savings, even if we buy a TV, we'll still have enough left to pay back my sisters."
Fang Hao continued.
I can understand the other person's concerns.
After all, spending one or two thousand yuan to buy a TV these days is definitely a luxury.
An average family could barely afford it even if they worked for a year without eating or drinking. The question is, who can go without eating or drinking?
Earning a couple thousand in income and saving a couple thousand in savings are two different things.
"Then you decide!"
Seeing that Fang Hao had already said that.
Song Yaxin did not continue to voice her opposition.
The money was earned by the other party.
He has the right to make the decision!
"Alright!"
"Let's see which brand and model we want, and if it's suitable, we'll just pay in full."
'
Fang Hao smiled and nodded.
The shelves in front of me were full of television sets.
You must choose a machine of relatively good quality.
"Brother Hao!"
"Are you really going to buy a color TV?"
Fang Qiang, who was standing next to him, was stunned.
Did you decide to buy a color TV in just a few moments?
This seems a bit extravagant!
"Um."
"Buy one to pass the time."
Xin Fanghao nodded slightly and said.
Buying a TV was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the thought of how it would bring joy to the whole family is a wonderful one.
It was all worth it!
After all, the purpose of making money is to spend it.
Being reborn means giving my family a wonderful life, a life they couldn't have had in my previous life.
"Hiss!~"
"Brother Hao, if you bought a color TV, the whole village would be in an uproar."
Fang Qiang muttered to himself.
Televisions are still a big-ticket item these days.
It's way more awesome than the three-ring turntable and one-ring radio!
Television, refrigerator, motorcycle.
Those are things that everyone envies.
