"Aunt Guihua, you can't say that. Look, your family watches TV, and if we watch along, it's the same. We're all paying for electricity anyway, so just let us watch with you."
"Yes, Sister Guihua, we're all neighbors here. Whenever you need help, we're here for you. Now that you have a TV, let us bask in its glow a bit."
Facing the villagers' myriad of comments, Zhang Guihua stood firm and reasoned with them: "Helping is one thing, watching TV is another; they're not the same. If your family needed help, I'd be there right now. It's not that I won't let you watch; even my own family has to limit our viewing time. We can't watch it continuously. Do you know how expensive this TV is at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative? It costs several hundred! Such an expensive item can't just be watched whenever. We have to take care of it."
